Chapter 169: It Turns Out to Be the Prefect’s Family
"Second sister-in-law!"
"Okay, okay, I'll just say it casually. After all, you and Mumu saved his life. Otherwise, if the carriage had hit him, he would have been injured if not killed."
He will be seriously injured, Li Mumu thought.
"It's just a small favor." Gu Yuru said. She just didn't want anyone to get hurt and didn't think too much about it at the time.
Song Qiang's business is still booming. Although there are more things, they are still selling well. Li Mumu's wallet is almost full.
I'll have to ask my cousin to make a bigger one later.
Just as a few people packed up their stall and were about to push their carts away, a girl who looked to be in her twenties came up to the stall.
"Everyone, my wife would like to invite you to the teahouse."
"Your wife?" Song Qiang looked at the newcomer warily. "Is there something wrong?"
"Madam, don't be nervous. You just saved my wife, the young master, and the young lady. My wife just took them to the clinic and checked their injuries before coming here. But she was afraid of affecting your business, so she waited until now."
"Oh, so it's you, the ones sitting in the carriage?"
"Not bad." The girl nodded slightly.
"No need. It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning." Gu Yuru really didn't want to be rewarded.
However, the girl was also stubborn, with a smile on her face, "Madam, if you don't go, it means Chunqiao is not doing her job well. Please have mercy on me, my madam... You will not regret it if you go."
"Hiss, how about... going and taking a look?" Song Qiang asked.
"Yes, go ahead, ma'am. My wife has been waiting for you across the street for quite a while."
Following the direction of Chunqiao's finger, several people looked over and saw a woman smiling at them.
"Mom, let's go and take a look." Li Mumu said.
She wasn't looking for a thank-you gift, but she felt that the lady was very sincere and waited until they finished their business before sending someone to invite them.
Such people know their limits, so it's worth getting to know them.
"Sister, Mumu said so, go now."
Gu Yuru had no choice but to go.
Song Qiang also wanted to go, but she had to watch the snack cart. Fortunately, the lady who was setting up a stall next to her, who had been taken care of by Song Qiang before, offered to help watch it.
Song Qiang thanked him repeatedly. There was nothing she could do about it, she just liked to join in the fun.
The three people followed Chunqiao up to the second floor when the door of the private room opened. A jumping little boy opened the door.
He looked about five or six years old. He quickly bowed when he saw them and said, "Thank you for saving us. Please accept Xingcheng's greetings."
Li Mumu frowned, thinking, how could this be such a coincidence?
Xingcheng? Nie Xingcheng?
The twin sons of the Northern Governor?
Looking at the little girl in the room, she indeed looked about the same age as her, but there was gauze wrapped around her forehead, probably from a collision in the carriage just now. At this moment, she was nestled in her mother's arms, with tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Xingcheng, please invite your benefactor in." The woman said as she was about to put her daughter down, but the little girl was frightened by the scene just now and refused to get down from her arms no matter what.
She smiled bitterly, "Yuehua, be obedient, your benefactor is here."
Nie Yuehua?
It seems so.
The focus of the story is on the male protagonist, and there is no explanation at all about who is sitting in the carriage. It turns out that they are the family of the Northern Governor.
The little girl was injured and frightened because Li Yuan kicked the carriage hard when he stopped it, causing the carriage to overturn.
According to what was said later, the daughter of Magistrate Nie died of excessive fright on the way out, so it is very likely that it happened today.
From this perspective, Governor Nie was quite reasonable. He did not take his anger out on Li Yuan because of his daughter's death.
On the contrary, because he admired the heroine, he adopted her as his goddaughter.
Little did he know that his own daughter died because of Li Yuan, and his wife went crazy because of missing her.
But all this is different.
"Child!" Li Mumu came back to his senses, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and bowed.
"You are so young, but your martial arts skills are so high. You are worthy of being a member of the Gu family. I was just grateful to you. If it weren't for you, the consequences would be disastrous."
The woman looked down at her daughter, and at that moment, the little girl said delicately, "Mom, it hurts!"
"Where does it hurt? Tell me, is it here? The doctor has already applied medicine."
The little girl shook her head, but Li Mumu thought of Nie Yuehua's death. She quickly walked over and asked, "Can I take a look at her?"
"You?" Madam Nie was a little surprised. "You look younger than Yuehua. Sister is fine. The doctor has just checked her out."
Li Mumu shook her head, "She seems to be having a heart attack."
Madam Nie was stunned, and Chunqiao exclaimed, "How did you know my young lady has a heart disease?"
Madam Nie was too lazy to wait for her answer, "Then come and take a look!"
Li Mumu touched Nie Yuehua's wrist and confirmed that she had indeed suffered a heart attack after being overly frightened. Fortunately, there were quick-acting heart pills in her space, so she quickly fed one to the little girl.
"This medicine..." Chunqiao said worriedly.
"Don't worry, our Mumu is a young doctor." Song Qiang said.
Gu Yuru also looked at the little girl lying in her mother's arms with worry. Seeing Mrs. Nie's helplessness, she seemed to see herself.
After a while, the little girl's face became a little redder and she stopped crying out in pain.
The little girl was young and cried out in pain when she felt uncomfortable, so her description was inaccurate, but if she hadn't met Li Mumu, she would have really lost her life.
"Yuehua, how are you?" Madam Nie held her daughter's hand. "Are you still feeling unwell?"
Nie Yuehua shook her head. "Much better, Mom. I was short of breath just now, and it hurts here too."
The little girl's finger was pointing right at her heart.
Madam Nie breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Mumu excitedly. She had just heard someone calling her upstairs. "Mumu, right? You saved Yuehua again. I...I want to thank you very much."
Li Mumu shook her head. "This is for my sister. She can take one pill when she has a heart attack."
After trying the effectiveness of her medicine, Mrs. Nie had no doubts at all and quickly asked Chunqiao to keep it safe, saying that it was a life-saving medicine.
"Mumu, you are truly a good child." Madam Nie looked at Gu Yuru. "Madam Gu, Miss Gu, to be honest, my husband is the governor of the Northern Territory. I don't know anything about the capital, but you saved us this time. This is a great favor. I will definitely tell my husband and reward you handsomely."
Seeing Song Qiang and Gu Yuru both showing surprised expressions, Li Mumu also pretended to have just learned about it, "Prefect, isn't that a very high official? Even higher than the county magistrate?"
"Exactly, Mumu... Why do you say that? Is it because the county magistrate here bullied you?"
Mrs. Nie was truly a very smart woman, but when Li Mumu thought of her crazy and stupid ending, she couldn't help but sigh.
