Chapter 155 News from the Capital
Xie Xun felt relieved when he knew that Li Mumu was not really being used by the Li family, and just waited for him quietly.
Even though he didn't know much about medicine, he sensed something strange when he saw her prescribing medicine for different people.
But he kept it to himself until the two of them left Qingshui Village.
"You tampered with the prescription. Will you get yourself into trouble?"
Li Mumu was quite surprised. "You actually figured it out? That's really smart."
Although they had been together for quite some time, Li Mumu still knew that he didn't know any medical skills.
"I don't know much about medicine, but many people have different illnesses, but most of the prescriptions are the same, and I have a basic understanding of the properties of a few herbs."
Li Mumu smiled and nodded, "Xie brother is really amazing."
"Ahem..." Xie Xun always felt that she was not really praising him.
"It's not like I'm the one who collected the money. Besides, the medicine is cold in nature. Although it's not as direct as croton, it can still help them have diarrhea."
Li Mumu said with a smile, of course she wouldn't dare to do anything rash to a seriously ill patient, so she would still prescribe the right medicine for him.
So, some diseases can be cured, while others cannot. You can’t blame yourself for this.
Xie Xun breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't say anything, he knew that he would no longer worry about her affairs in the future.
When the two returned to Gu's house, Song Qiang left the food for them in the pot to keep warm, worried that they would not have enough to eat at Gu's house.
They were quite surprised to learn that the two children not only had meals at Li's house, but also had a lot of meat.
After Li Mumu happily recounted what happened, Gu Yuru felt a pang of sadness in her heart. "Mumu, if you don't like it there, you don't have to go there anymore. Don't be afraid of them. With mother here, no one can hurt you."
"Mom, if I don't go, how will the sheep come back?" Li Mumu blinked.
Everyone felt sorry for the skinny goat.
You should know that this sheep was very fat when it was with the Gu family, and it was thanks to it that the Gu family was strong on the road.
"How...how did they make the sheep so thin?" Madam Gu shook her head. "Dad, go get some hay for the sheep."
"Grandma, don't be sad. It will be fat again in a few days."
Old Madam Gu smiled. This little devil really did what she said. She got back the things she sold without spending a penny.
Song Qiang decided to set up a small stall. As the weather was getting cold, everyone discussed and decided to sell hot skewers, boiled and fried. They had tried it at home before and it was delicious.
But the difficulty lay in the cookware. According to the instructions on the recipe, Song Qiang went to the blacksmith shop to order one.
Now that we have the pot, all that’s left is the cart. It’s inconvenient without a cart.
Ningxi Village doesn’t even have a decent carpenter. There was one before, but he later moved out to make a living.
But these are not difficult for the Gu family.
Based on everyone's brainstorming, especially after Li Mumu raised the key questions, Mr. Gu decided to build the car himself.
"Dad, can you...can you do it?" Song Qiang asked in surprise.
Old Master Gu laughed a few times. "How difficult is that? I've never made one before, but everyone described it in such detail, especially Mumu, who even drew the diagrams. I'll just do it under their supervision. I even made wooden swords for Mingyu and Mingtang when they were little."
Gu Mingtang nodded, confirming that his father really knew some carpentry work.
"If you don't do something, you'll get sick from idleness." said Mr. Gu.
Since the old man said so, Song Qiang didn't care about it anymore. She made more wooden skewers according to the recipe these days.
Now that the stall is open, I don’t have time to do it anymore.
Li Mumu was quite surprised when she saw her family members taking off their long gowns. At first, she was worried that her family would object to her second aunt doing business.
But I didn’t expect everyone to be so supportive.
Even though my second uncle would occasionally say something questioning, he was actually just afraid that others would feel embarrassed to say it.
Li Mumu waited for almost the entire night, but Xie Xun didn't mention what Li Yuan had said to him.
If he doesn't say it, then she will.
"Grandpa."
"Mumu, what's wrong?" Old Master Gu asked with a smile.
"Nothing, just my dad said he seemed to have seen Brother Xie somewhere." Li Mumu continued calmly: "Do you think he saw Brother Xie's martial arts skills and wanted to win him over?"
Of course not, she knew it very well.
Old Master Gu's eyes tightened slightly, then he smiled, "Your brother Xie is unwinnable."
Li Mumu nodded, "What if he wants to find a child husband for Li Zhaozhao?"
"Ahem... I don't want to." Xie Xun refused.
Old Master Gu laughed loudly, "If your brother Xie doesn't want to, it's useless for him to say so."
Li Mumu caught a glimpse of the old man looking at Xie Xun.
She felt more and more that her guess was correct.
The Crown Princess was eight months pregnant when she died.
There is only a simple explanation of this sentence.
She thought about it and realized that if Xie Xun was really related to the Prince's Mansion, then he was most likely the eight-month-old fetus in the Crown Princess's belly.
Did grandpa come to the rescue back then?
The person who searched and confiscated the Prince's Mansion back then was my grandfather.
And Xie Xun obviously has some connection with his grandfather.
That night, the moonlight was like water, and although there was no wind, it was freezing cold.
Old Master Gu looked at Xie Xun across from him and asked, "Did Li Yuan not notice anything?"
Xie Xun shook his head, "Does my face... look like his?"
Old Master Gu narrowed his eyes and said, "Not very similar, but I can vaguely see a little shadow."
"Do I look like my mother?" Xie Xun asked the question he had wanted to know for the past ten years.
"Not like it!" said Old Master Gu. "You should be thankful, otherwise how could you have survived until now?"
A flash of disappointment crossed Xie Xun's face. "Then he shouldn't be able to recognize me, right? After all, everyone knows that the child is dead."
Mr. Gu nodded, "Behind him is Concubine Rong."
"Fei Rong? How do you know?"
"Yun He sent me news from Shangjing City." Old Master Gu said, "Yun He is my adopted son."
Xie Xun nodded, "Why would Concubine Rong want to harm you?"
"She doesn't mean to harm me, she just wants me to do something for her."
"She doesn't have a prince to fight for the throne? What does she want you to do for her?"
Old Master Gu smiled. "Over the years, I've only had people teach you martial arts and reading. Where did you learn all this?"
"I have been collecting this information since the day I knew my identity," Xie Xun said truthfully.
Old Master Gu sighed, "This is also what I'm wondering about. If Concubine Rong is paving the way for Princess Qingyang, that doesn't make sense. With how favored she is, she could have saved Princess Qingyang from having to marry far away."
"Forget it. I don't want to think about the things in the capital anymore. Just be cautious. I don't want to regret my momentary kindness back then."
Xie Xun opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, but finally chose to nod, "I understand."
