Chapter 170 He is Concubine Rong’s son
Madam Nie looked at Gu Yuru and asked, "Would you like to have someone else take care of Mumu?"
Gu Yuru didn’t understand, but Li Mumu did. Could it be that he wanted to adopt her as his goddaughter?
It seems that the ancients liked it this way.
As it turned out, her guess was correct.
Madam Nie smiled gently. "If you're willing, I'd like to adopt Mumu as my goddaughter. To be honest, it's rare to find a child that my Yuehua likes, so I'd like to find her a companion."
Nie Yuehua nodded, "I want Mumu to be my sister, you won't disagree, right?"
"Yuehua, don't be rude." Madam Nie scolded lightly.
Nie Yuehua stopped talking and just looked at Gu Yuru eagerly.
Gu Yuru naturally wouldn't argue with a child, but she couldn't make the decision on this matter on her own and had to ask Mumu's opinion.
Of course Li Mumu was happy. Firstly, the Nie family were all nice people. Secondly, for the sake of the future, there was no reason to refuse.
Immediately, she knelt down and kowtowed, calling out in a milky voice, "Godmother!"
As a human being, you should be able to bend and stretch, and kneel when you should.
Madam Nie smiled widely, and Nie Yuehua even personally helped Li Mumu up. "From now on, you are mine. If anyone bullies you, let my father help you deal with him."
"Thank you, Sister Yuehua!"
Nie Yuehua said with a stern face, "Remember what you just said to me, you can't go back on your word."
"Of course, I always keep my word."
Nie Yuehua looked at her brother again, "Brother, you must protect him from now on."
Nie Xingcheng nodded, "It's natural. Mumu will be our family from now on."
Chunqiao was happy to see her masters, but she still had to remind them, "Madam, it's getting late. If you don't set off now, you won't be able to return home before dark."
Madam Nie took off the white jade hairpin from her head and said, "I left in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me. Consider this a gift from your godmother. I'll give you more when we meet again."
"Godmother, it's too expensive. I can't accept it."
Madam Nie smiled and said, "You have taught Mumu so well. No matter how precious it is, can it be as valuable as our lives? Keep it. This is the dowry my mother gave me. It has been with me for many years."
"Miss Mumu, please accept it. Our lady wouldn't be willing to give this to anyone else," Chunqiao advised with a smile.
Li Mumu smiled and bowed obediently, "Thank you, godmother."
"Then I'll go back first. If you have any problems, come to the capital to find me. Don't worry, I will also tell my master about the county magistrate. We don't bully others, but it doesn't make sense for us not to fight back when we are bullied."
Mrs. Nie's words dispelled Gu Yuru's doubts.
"Mumu, I'll bring your sister Yuehua to see you in two months!"
Li Mumu shook her head, "No, I will come to see you when the time comes."
She also wanted to go to the provincial capital to take a look, and by the way, meet her godfather and hold him close.
On the way back, Song Qiang couldn't stop laughing. "Let's just say our Mumu is blessed. Look, she saved someone, and it turned out to be the wife of the prefect. Isn't that amazing?"
Gu Yuru smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence."
Song Qiang didn't want to hear that. "You said that boy also looked delicate and tender. I wonder if he has some background."
Li Mumu raised her eyebrows. Yes, it must be of great significance.
He is Concubine Rong’s son!
After returning home, Song Qiang told everyone what happened in the town without anyone else's advice.
"When I was at the Pei family, I heard that Magistrate Nie was upright and righteous. My ex-father-in-law always said that he was inflexible."
Madam Gu nodded slightly. "So, Governor Nie is a good person. Mumu has found herself a backer by accident."
"Mom, you're absolutely right. Madam Nie also said that if the county magistrate makes things difficult for us again, she'll ask Prefect Nie for help." Song Qiang laughed. "The support the Li family gained by using their daughter is not as good as Mumu moving a finger. If they knew Mumu was the prefect's adopted daughter, they'd be furious."
Old Lady Li was furious when she didn't know that the person in the carriage was the prefect's wife. If she had known, she would probably have died of anger.
Just thinking about the boy saying he wanted something heavier made her jealous and crazy, and her heart felt like it was growing weeds.
"I don't know where Rong Jinxuan comes from. Oh, stop crying. Just cry, cry, cry. Why don't you do something good like that dead girl?" Old Mrs. Li yelled.
I haven't heard Li Zhaozhao cry since she came back, and her crying was heartbreaking.
Zhao swore that she really didn't hit or pinch her this time, but she just kept crying.
"Wait, Mom...what was the name of the person Twilight saved?"
"Rong...Jinxuan, what's wrong? Do you know him?"
"Rong Jinxuan?" Li Yuan took a deep breath. Why was he here?
"Where is he?"
Mrs. Li shook her head. "Then I don't know. Do you really know him?"
Li Yuan hurriedly shook his head. He still knew his mother's mouth. If this matter got out, especially to the Gu family, it would be a big deal.
"I don't know him, I'm just asking."
Mrs. Li didn't think much of it. Her mind couldn't hold any conspiracy or intrigue. "That child was dressed elegantly. I was right beside her at the time. If your daughter hadn't been crying so hard, I might have been able to help. If I had helped, he would have thanked me."
Mrs. Li regretted it deeply. "You too, you're young and quick-witted, why don't you give them a hand? You're all unlucky."
Zhao twitched her lips and said, "Mom, wasn't I holding Zhao Zhao? Speaking of which, her crying made me feel very upset. Otherwise, I would have definitely taken action if she had spoken."
"It's all your fault, you little unlucky star." Old Lady Li glared at Li Zhaozhao angrily. "Stop crying! If you keep crying, I'll throw you into the snow and let you freeze to death."
Li Yuan's mind was full of Rong Jinxuan, and he didn't care about his daughter anymore. "Mom, when will the child go to the Gu family?"
"I don't know about that. He just said he would reward me handsomely, but I don't know what. Anything is fine. It's all for free."
Old Mrs. Li couldn't help but think, how nice it would be if it was given to her.
Li Yuan looked at his leg. Why didn't it get better after so many days? Not only did it not get better, it was even more painful.
Since he couldn't see Concubine Rong, it would be nice if he could see Concubine Rong's son.
Isn’t Concubine Rong planning for her son?
"Mom, I'm going to the Gu family tomorrow." Li Yuan said.
"You...how are you going to go in this state?" Old Madam Li shook her head. "You silly girl, I don't know what's wrong with you. I've checked you out, haven't I? Why aren't you getting any better?"
"Without taking medicine, it's natural that I won't get better." Li Yuan said: "I have something important to do at Gu's house. I have to go."
Old Mrs. Li also has a lot of things to do. The people in the village are still looking for her to settle accounts, and she can't take care of it all.
"Whatever. Also, can you please stop your daughter from crying? She's making my head hurt!" Old Mrs. Li yelled angrily.
