Chapter 173 Li Mumu's Different Attitude towards Rong Jinxuan
"I... I am Mumu's father!" Li Yuan blurted out anxiously.
"She is Li Mumu, and I am Li Yuan."
Even though Rong Jinxuan was here, he had no way of finding out Li Mumu's background. He looked Li Yuan up and down.
"I swear, I really didn't lie. I wouldn't dare lie to anyone but you!"
"Besides, I've been waiting for you here for a few days."
"Wait for me? Why?" Rong Jinxuan asked in a deep voice, with a depth on his young face that was not in line with his age.
"Of course...of course I want to see you, and I also want to protect you!"
Yuan Bao couldn't help but laugh, "You're protecting my young master like this? Are you kidding me?"
Rong Jinxuan glanced at Li Yuan's injured leg, which was splinted with a bamboo board, and nodded slightly, "You should take care of yourself first."
He wanted to take Yuanbao away, but Li Yuan shouted behind him, "Li Mumu is the daughter of Gu Yuru and me. Gu Yuru is the daughter of the Protector of the Country, Gu Jian. He's very stubborn and won't listen to advice. You should have heard of him, right?"
However, he was wrong.
He thought Concubine Rong would tell Rong Jinxuan about what was happening in the court, but Concubine Rong did not let her son get involved so much.
At least not at this time.
She didn't want her son to be stained with too much blood, so she left those things to her. This was a mother's protective heart for her son, and also her guilt for raising her son outside the palace for many years.
She hoped that he would retain a bit of his purity, and that when the emperor saw him, he would like this son who was not contaminated by intrigue and conspiracy.
In a sense, this was another well-thought-out plan of Concubine Rong.
But not knowing these things does not mean that Rong Jinxuan is an ignorant person of the world, and Concubine Rong will not allow her son to be raised as a blank slate.
So, Rong Jinxuan is very smart.
"I guess you didn't hear me clearly. I'm just from a remote town. I've never heard of the Duke of Protectorate."
Li Yuan was extremely anxious, because he knew that Rong Jinxuan didn't believe him.
But this is the only chance he can seize now.
"Listen to me..."
"No need." Rong Jinxuan smiled politely, "I have something else to do. Goodbye."
After saying that, Rong Jinxuan walked towards the village without looking back.
Li Yuan was anxious and wanted to follow, but he was afraid that if he followed Rong Jinxuan, it would arouse the suspicion of the Gu family.
"Sir, that guy is so weird!" Yuan Bao said, "What about Concubine Rong and Duke Huguo? Could he be a lunatic?"
Rong Jinxuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Don't worry about him, mind your mouth, these are not things we should discuss."
Yuanbao nodded vigorously, "Yes, sir."
The snow was still falling in the sky and there were few people on the road. Rong Jinxuan and Yuanbao finally met one person, who came to get firewood to make a fire and heat the kang.
"Uncle, where is Mumu's house?"
"Twilight? Who are you? What do you want from Twilight?"
Rong Jinxuan explained, "She saved me that day, and I prepared a small gift to thank her."
The man looked at the big boxes Yuanbao was carrying on his back and holding in his hands, and they looked not cheap.
"Mumu saved you? This girl is amazing. She also saved many people in our village. You still have some conscience." The man smiled. Xie Xun happened to be delivering medicine to the elderly people with limited mobility in the village, and was seen by the man.
"Look, that's Mumu's adopted husband. You should follow him."
"Tong...raising a husband?" Rong Jinxuan looked at the young man with a defiant look on his face and walked closer with a stern expression.
"Xie Xun, these two people are here to thank Mu Mu, you take them home."
Xie Xun just heard it. If he guessed correctly, one of these two people must be Rong Jinxuan.
Rong Jinxuan nodded slightly, "I..."
"Come with me." Xie Xun said coldly.
"It's okay, Xie Xun is like that, cold and a nice guy." The man said with a smile.
Rong Jinxuan and his servant hurriedly followed Xie Xun's footsteps. Because of Xie Xun's silence on the way, neither of them dared to speak.
He didn’t know if it was his illusion, but Rong Jinxuan always felt that this kid was a little difficult to get along with.
"Brother Xie Xun, have the medicines been delivered?"
Without seeing the person, Rong Jinxuan recognized the voice as Li Mumu's.
A smile naturally appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This subtle movement did not escape Xie Xun's eyes, "He sent it there, and brought back two people."
"Two people? Who is sick again?" Li Mumu wrapped her clothes tightly and opened the window a crack.
The window without glass was really inconvenient. The cold wind rushed in and she couldn't help shivering.
"You...why are you here?" Li Mumu asked in surprise.
"Ahem... I'm here to thank you." Rong Jinxuan was a little embarrassed. After all, the little girl's attitude towards him and Xie Xun was very different.
She was smiling brightly the second before, but when she saw me, that smile disappeared instantly.
He doesn't know what he did wrong?
They had met only a few times, let alone getting along.
I shouldn't have offended her!
"Oh, it's you, come in quickly." Song Qiang greeted the two of them with a smile, and was even happier when she saw that they were carrying things.
Li Mumu is actually struggling with how to get along with the male protagonist.
It was an enemy, and she was afraid that she would not be able to defeat the plot in the end.
It was a friend. After knowing what the male and female protagonists did to the Gu family, she couldn't help but be angry.
After all, these people from the Gu family are now alive around me, and they are doing their best to give me warmth.
Li Mumu rolled her eyes. She had always been at a loss as to how to tell her grandfather about Rong Jinxuan's identity. Wasn't this an opportunity?
"Brother Xie Xun, go and call grandpa over."
Xie Xun frowned. It was just a child. There was no need to trouble Mr. Gu, right?
"Go quickly!" Li Mumu urged.
She must let her grandfather see Rong Jinxuan with his own eyes.
Otherwise, her words would not be enough to convince grandpa to sleep.
Xie Xun was visibly displeased. He felt that Li Mumu was too respectful to this boy.
Li Mumu had no idea what Xie Xun was thinking. Seeing that he didn't move, she thought he was cold and hadn't recovered yet, so she decided to go by herself.
"Forget it, I'll go." Xie Xun put his hand on her shoulder, as if declaring his sovereignty.
Li Mumu felt that he was a little abnormal, but he had always been like this, with a strange personality, and it was not the first day he was like this, so she did not think too much about it.
Old Master Gu was making an ice sled for a few children behind the house. This was something that children in the north used to play with on the ice. Seeing that other children were having fun playing with it, he wanted to make one for little Mumu as well.
"What? Mumu asked me to meet that Rong Jinxuan?" Old Master Gu took a deep breath. This was the first time.
What does this mean, Xiao Mumu?
When Xie Xun saw Mr. Gu’s reaction, he realized that he was not the only one who thought so. Even the old man felt that Li Mumu treated Rong Jinxuan differently.
