Chapter 005: Rubbing the Scumbag Dad’s Face on the Ground
Compared to the crying Li family, the Gu family was much quieter, and their eyes were firm. Not only did they not complain, they also used their eyes to comfort the guilty Gu Yuru, waiting for a break to have a good talk.
A group of people were standing at the octagonal pavilion five miles outside the city gate. The officials also stopped and did the favor since someone offered them benefits.
Gu Yuru first asked her eldest son who was injured, "Yun Chao, what's wrong? It's all my fault..."
Li Yunchao shook his head and said through gritted teeth, "It's okay, Mom. How can I blame you? Don't worry about me. Go see grandpa and grandma. I just need to rest."
He was also puzzled. After receiving those fifty lashes, he felt like he was going to die, but after one night, he felt mostly better.
Gu Yuru was indeed worried about her parents. They were not young anymore and should have been enjoying their retirement, but she had dragged them into this state. She was really unfilial.
"Husband, do you want to go with me to visit my parents?" Gu Yuru looked at him expectantly. After all, this matter was caused by him. Shouldn't he go and apologize?
Li Yuan was comforting the crying Lin Siyan at this time, "Can't you see that Siyan is uncomfortable?"
This was the first sentence the two people said today, but the person he was thinking about was an outsider, and the hope in Gu Yuru's eyes gradually faded.
"Why didn't you plead for Siyan just now? What were you thinking?" Li Yuan accused him.
"Brother Yuan, please don't be angry. In that situation, it was already very difficult for Madam to protect herself. I just don't know why Madam was the only one who was fine."
Damn green tea, you will die if you don’t cause trouble, right?
Li Mumu glared at her scumbag father and the mistress with hatred. What was the point of arguing with them? They would have to keep a low profile later.
But she was very particular, "Aunt Lin, your belly is so white, your breasts are big, and your bellyband is even more beautiful. You even have two mandarin ducks, but Mumu doesn't have any."
Lin Siyan's face suddenly turned from white to red and then back to white, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Mumu wasn't lying. Everyone saw it. All the uncles and aunts saw it." Li Mumu pretended to grab something, then pointed at the official sitting under the shade of a tree. "Uncles touched it all."
"You, Brother Yuan, I'd rather die. I have no face to live as a human being." Lin Siyan cried. If there were no shackles at this moment, she would definitely throw herself into Li Yuan's arms and cry loudly.
"Li Mumu, shut up and stop talking nonsense."
Li Mumu looked at her furious father with a bewildered look on her face, "Dad, do you want to touch it too?"
Amidst Li Yuan's roar, Li Mumu happily took her mother's hand and said, "Mom, it smells so good over there. Is there something delicious? Grandpa, Grandma, Mumu is here!"
Old Madam Gu wiped away her tears and quickly waved to the mother and daughter. She was deeply moved by the help from her confidant and long-time friend.
When they learned that the Gu family was going to be exiled to the north, not only did they not add insult to injury, but they were worried that they would have a hard time on the road and extended a helping hand.
Li Mumu took a quick look and saw that there were more than ten people.
"Mumu, come quickly, come to me, poor child, you have to suffer like this at such a young age." The speaker was an elderly but kind old woman. At this moment, she was holding Madam Gu's hand. Li Mumu recognized that this should be the handkerchief paid by her grandmother based on her age.
Lin Siyan saw that relatives and friends from the Gu family had sent a lot of things, including clothes and valuables. There were more than 10 to 20 bulging bags.
But the Gu family had very few people, only a concubine from the Minister of Revenue's family, Feng, the mother of Li Rong's fiancé.
Li Rong saw Aunt Feng running over empty-handed, thinking that she must have found it difficult to carry the things because they were too heavy, and that giving her silver notes would be more convenient.
Once we have the banknotes, our life on the road will be comfortable.
But she soon changed her attitude, because Aunt Feng was not there to help, but to break off the engagement.
"No, it's impossible. Brother Jie wouldn't do this to me. You lied to me. I'm clearly Brother Jie's person. He said he would marry me."
Her voice was a little loud, so Old Mrs. Li also came over.
Seeing this, Lin Siyan quickly winked at Li Yuan and said, "Brother Yuan, the Gu family won't have to worry about food and money on the road this time. It's my fault for not having a capable family in my family, otherwise they would have been able to help out."
Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, what's theirs will be yours, and I will never let you and your child suffer any injustice."
Lin Siyan nodded and said, "Brother Yuan, with you here, my mother and I have nothing to worry about. No matter what you look like, I will be with you."
In fact, she also regretted it, but she just couldn't run away.
Suddenly, Li Yuan saw a man riding a horse. It was his colleague with whom he had a good relationship. The man was carrying two bundles. He looked happy and said, "Wait for me. Our things are here too."
Li Yuan stood up with a smile and walked towards him confidently, but the man on horseback passed him as if he didn't see him. He didn't stop, but stopped beside the Gu family.
Li Yuan didn't give up, thinking that it must be his appearance. He didn't see it, there were many people over there, and he thought he was there.
So, he strode towards the crowd and said to the man who had just dismounted, "Brother Ling, you came to see me? How could I, Li, be so worthy..."
The man glanced at him coldly and said, "You, Li Yuan, are immoral and incompetent. Don't get me wrong, I'm here to see Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu."
Li Yuan's face turned red and he stood there in a daze, glaring at Gu Yuru hatefully.
The man handed over the bundle and said, "I'm sorry, I'm late due to the busy military affairs. Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, take care on your journey. Yunhe will work hard to clear your name."
Li Mumu looked at the handsome and tall man in front of her. It turned out that he was Ling Yunhe.
He was the son of his grandfather's subordinate and grew up in the Gu family. He joined the army when he was a teenager and worked his way up the ranks. He made a name for himself without relying on the Gu family's support.
In the novel, he became the General Zhenbei, but if there is any imperfection, it is that he never married and was poisoned to death by the heroine when he was avenging the Gu family.
However, when Li Mumu saw the look in his eyes when he looked at his mother, she seemed to understand why he chose to be alone.
"Sister Yu, take care of yourself." Ling Yunhe's eyes were red, "Wait for me... wait for me..."
Gu Yuru nodded, her eyes moist, "Yunhe, take care of yourself too."
Ling Yunhe turned his sharp gaze and fell on Li Yuan. "Li, your family deserves what happened to you, but the Gu family is suffering because of you. You must take good care of them along the way, otherwise... I will never forgive you."
Li Yuan thought he was here to deliver something to him, so he eagerly approached him. Unwilling to be scolded, he angrily said, "Humph, since Captain Ling cares so much about the Gu family, why don't you go into exile with them?"
Listen, is this human language?
Only an ungrateful person like my scumbag dad would say that.
Li Yuan seemed to be afraid of being beaten, so he ran away in fear.
But how could Li Mumu miss this good opportunity to teach her scumbag father a lesson?
She looked at Ling Yunhe, a gleam in her eyes.
