Chapter 068 You underestimate the women of our Gu family
Gu Lan looked down at her stomach, feeling the dull pain, "Is this child... impossible to save?"
Li Mumu quickly shook her head, "Cousin, it can be saved, but the child is in your belly. Will they let you go?"
Xie Xun was still on the roof, and heard the little girl's words clearly. He raised his eyebrows slightly. This little girl, although not very big, could read people's hearts very accurately.
He also felt that if Gu Lan was pregnant with Pei's child, they would not agree to let Gu Lan leave like this. Even if they left, they would have to wait until the child was born.
"But this child..." There was real pain in Gu Lan's eyes. She missed her family, but this child was also her flesh and blood.
Seeing this, Li Mumu guessed that she might be wrong, so she hooked her finger at Gu Lan. Gu Lan lowered her head in confusion, but her hands were just protecting her belly. No matter how bad the Pei family was, the child was innocent.
Gu Lan leaned over and heard Li Mumu whispering a few words in her ear. Her voice was so low that Xie Xun couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried. He actually started to feel a little curious.
When he said it out loud, even he himself felt it was a bit ridiculous.
After Li Mumu finished explaining her plan, she looked at Gu Lan expectantly, "Cousin, what do you think?"
Gu Lan raised her hand and touched her little cousin. When she got married, her little cousin was still a toddler. Everyone said she was stupid, but she thought she was smart.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
But the next moment, she looked at Li Mumu anxiously, "What made you come here? Are you alone? How can your aunt let you come out alone?"
Li Mumu pointed upwards and said, "I have a little follower."
Gu Lan became more and more confused. The Gu family was already in such a state, how could they still have followers?
But Li Mumu didn't give her the chance to think about it. "Cousin, my second aunt is still waiting for us to go back. If we go back too late, she will be anxious."
Gu Lan nodded. Yes, if she was late to see her family, everyone would be worried.
Let’s make a quick decision.
"Cousin, you go ahead and do something."
Gu Lan is also from a military family and is a woman who can stand on her own. Li Mumu just gave her advice, so it is not appropriate for the little cousin to appear next.
At least not now.
"Okay, Mumu, you have to be careful." Gu Lan thought for a moment, "The one above, take care of my cousin, please."
Xie Xun responded. Gu Lan heard the noise and thought that he was not very old, but since he could bring his little cousin in, he must not be an ordinary person.
Besides, there are many good generals around her grandfather, and maybe the little follower my cousin mentioned is one of them.
Li Mumu looked at the hole in the high roof and cleared her throat. "Thank you, brother. Please help me."
The little girl's voice is sweet and childish, making it hard to refuse.
Xie Xun couldn't help but curl his lips. He was in such a hurry to go down, why didn't he think about how to get back up?
Li Mumu also felt a little regretful, but it was too late to say it now.
At this moment, a vine came down from the roof. Xie Xun just grabbed it casually. The moment Li Mumu grabbed the vine, she and the vine were lifted up. It was thrilling and exciting.
Gu Lan watched the hole in the roof being repaired bit by bit. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the supplements that the so-called mother-in-law had just sent over.
She only drank a little, fortunately only a little. She strode over, squatted down, picked up the bowl and poured the contents into the flowerpot.
Then, she lay down beside the door and shouted outside, "Someone come quickly, go find the young master, my stomach... my stomach hurts."
A maid outside the courtyard gate heard it and ran out stealthily, heading towards Mrs. Pei Jiang Xinyue's courtyard.
Li Mumu saw that everything was going according to her plan, then looked at Xie Xun and asked, "Shall we go somewhere first?"
"Where could be more important than taking your cousin away? Are you worried about her being here alone?"
Li Mumu snorted, "My cousin can do it herself. You really underestimate the women of our Gu family."
"Gu family?" Xie Xun smiled. "Isn't your last name Li?"
"It's true that my last name is Li, but my heart is with the Gu family, so I belong to the Gu family." Li Mumu has her own reasons.
Xie Xun didn't argue with her, but the two sisters had just whispered to each other, and they must have talked about something. "Where are you going?"
"Come with me."
Li Mumu didn't want to take him with her, but he would definitely follow her, so she might as well take him with her. If she really got into trouble, his martial arts skills would help her hide.
Li Mumu had indeed never been to the Pei Mansion, but Gu Lan was disheartened and had indeed wanted to divorce Pei Yuanqing. The relationship between the couple was already very cold at that time. Pei Yuanqing could not withstand Mrs. Pei's instigation and planned to kill Gu Lan. The death of his wife would have much less impact on him than divorce.
Mrs. Pei was petty and went to the warehouse on the day Gu Lan died. When she saw the things belonging to Gu Lan, she smiled triumphantly, thinking that all these things would belong to the Pei family and his son and daughter.
Poor Pei Yuanqing was played around by his stepmother and let down his first wife.
However, Pei Yuanqing was not innocent, so Li Mumu followed the description in the book and walked through the winding corridor, heading west, and passed by an abandoned and deserted courtyard. This was where Gu Lan was sent after losing her child. She was not well fed, not well clothed, and no one cared about her.
When Li Mumu saw the desolate place, she felt even more disgusted with the Pei family. After walking around the courtyard, Li Mumu finally saw a warehouse that was being guarded by several people.
Pei family mistress Jiang Xinyue has always loved money, so for a place like the warehouse, she would like to send dozens or even hundreds of people to guard it.
"Where...is this?" Xie Xun looked at the heavily guarded situation and guessed that it was either the study of Prefect Pei or their storeroom.
But looking at the situation, it's obviously the second one.
Li Mumu raised an eyebrow. "I don't know, Brother Xie. Look at how many people are guarding this room. This means it must be very important."
Xie Xun's inquiring gaze fell on the little girl, and he happened to see the swirl on her head, thinking about the cause and effect of this matter.
"What do you need me to do?"
Li Mumu took out a wax ball from her palm and said, "There's smoke inside. Find a way to make them fall into the trap without making any noise."
Xie Xun looked at the smoke and asked, "Who gave it to you?"
This doesn’t mean you can make it yourself, “I bought it before.”
Xie Xun looked at her again. Which three-year-old child would buy this thing? It’s not candy. Is he going to play with it?
Li Mumu was a little anxious. After all, she was still a little worried about Gu Lan. "Hurry up, we still have to go and support our cousin later!"
Xie Xun nodded slightly, then threw out a pill and then a stone. Just when the pill was about to reach the guard, it was broken by the stone thrown with greater force. The smoke spread and soon several guards were knocked unconscious.
