Chapter 175 hints at the protagonist's identity
"Empress Rong?" Old Master Gu repeated, looking at Li Mumu with complicated eyes.
"Yes!" Li Mumu nodded vigorously. "Last year at the Spring Banquet, Concubine Rong was very beautiful. Mumu had seen Concubine Rong before."
In fact, a two-year-old child cannot remember things that happened so long ago.
Li Mumu didn't know this from the original owner's memory, but based on the description in it, she knew that Li Mumu had gone to the Spring Banquet with her family last year.
But it is hard to say whether he met Concubine Rong or not. But Concubine Rong did go there, and she was the most beautiful among all the women. There is no doubt that she met Mr. Gu.
At this moment, just as Li Mumu thought, Mr. Gu's attention was not on whether the little girl had seen Concubine Rong, but on trying to figure out what she said.
Naturally, he had also met Concubine Rong.
I have to say, when I think about it carefully, the two people's eyes are indeed very similar.
"Concubine Rong's surname is Rong, and Rong Jinxuan's surname is also Rong. Are they relatives, Grandpa?"
Old Master Gu shook his head. "It's possible that he's a distant relative. The Rong family members who are closer to us all serve as officials in the capital, and they don't have a son like this."
"How can they be so similar? My brothers also look like mother, and Rong Jinxuan also looks like Concubine Rong!" Li Mumu knew that her grandfather was not stupid, but he simply did not think about it in that direction. "And he smells so good, exactly the same as Concubine Rong."
So, she gave him a push.
Old Master Gu took a deep breath and said, "Mumu, I can't say that anymore."
Li Mumu nodded and quickly covered her mouth, "I know, Grandpa."
"Mr. Rong seems to be a bit like Brother Xie Xun."
Old Master Gu looked at the little girl and asked, "How is she similar?"
"I don't know, but I just have a feeling that Brother Xie Xun might have been adopted. Could they be lost brothers?"
They are definitely not brothers, but uncle and nephew are possible.
Li Mumu was of course also testing. If her grandfather really thought of that, it would prove her guess about Xie Xun's identity.
Old Master Gu nodded. If she looked like Concubine Rong and Xie Xun, then there was only one possibility.
Rong Jinxuan is also a member of the royal family, and is the prince born to Concubine Rong.
If resembling one person is a coincidence, and if resembling two people at the same time, then there is only one explanation.
Calculating Rong Jinxuan's age, she is about the same age as the princess born to Concubine Rong. Could it be that they were twins, a boy and a girl?
But that's not right. I've never heard of it. In Dongyao Country, twins are considered a good omen, especially boy and girl twins. That's even more considered a good omen. If Concubine Rong gave birth to a son, why wouldn't she keep him by her side?
Old Master Gu thought about it for a while but still couldn't figure it out.
But the little girl's words stirred up waves in his heart, making him unable to calm down for a long time.
"Grandpa, I'm going out to play first." Li Mumu saw that her grandfather was already curious, so her guess in her heart... was true.
Xie Xun is really the emperor's grandson, the son of the former crown prince.
The death of the former crown prince was also planned by Concubine Rong.
Xie Xun should know this too, right?
Looking at his mysterious look, he must be plotting revenge.
Then he and the male protagonist are destined to be irreconcilable.
She originally thought that even if she didn't help Concubine Rong, she might be able to save the Gu family by relying on the relationship of saving the male protagonist.
But the Gu family saved Xie Xun. If Concubine Rong knew about this, she would definitely not let the Gu family go.
Li Mumu's expression was startled. Could it be that Concubine Rong already knew about the plan to deal with the Gu family?
She was a little confused. Even after doing so much, was it possible that she still couldn't change the fate of her family's tragic death?
"If you go any further you'll hit a wall!" Xie Xun's voice came faintly.
Li Mumu was so absorbed in the moment that she didn't even notice she had walked to the wall. If Xie Xun hadn't reminded her, she would have definitely hit her nose.
She turned around and smiled, "Nothing! I was just wondering if my second aunt would stew a big goose later. Snowy days and stewed goose in an iron pot are perfect for it."
Xie Xun saw through her lie at a glance.
"Do you know who Rong Jinxuan is? How dare you let him come to your house?"
"I..." Li Mumu took a deep breath, "What is his identity?"
Could it be that Xie Xun knew?
Could it be that he is thinking of killing the male protagonist for revenge?
The key is that the male protagonist has such a strong aura, can he succeed?
If it fails, the Gu family will definitely be implicated.
Li Mumu suddenly panicked.
Fortunately, Xie Xun shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I wouldn't believe it even if I met him once."
Li Mumu saw that he was not lying, and just as he understood herself, Li Mumu could also see through his thoughts.
"Didn't I keep you after seeing you once? So, I can't trust you."
"How can they be the same?" Xie Xun blurted out, "I..."
The truth was on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed it down.
"We are just different. Anyway, I won't harm the Gu family. But Rong Jinxuan might be a different story. Didn't he say he was the son of a businessman? Business people are very cunning. You have to be careful."
Li Mumu was afraid that he would really kill the hero, and was even more afraid that his failure would implicate the Gu family. "That makes sense. You should stay away from him, Brother Xie Xun. If he's not a good person, you should stay away from him too."
Xie Xun had been feeling uncomfortable for a while, but when he heard her say that, knowing that she cared about him, his heart softened. "Are you concerned about me?"
Li Mumu wanted to say no, but she was afraid that something might happen to you and implicate the Gu family.
But I can't say that.
"Of course, you are part of our family now."
Xie Xun curled the corners of his lips, "What did you say you wanted to eat?"
Li Mumu was stunned for a moment, "Oh...stewed goose in an iron pot."
"There are no geese, but there should be pheasants. I'll go catch two."
After saying that, Xie Xun left without looking back.
Old Master Gu called his daughter into the house and asked her to close the door.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Gu Yuru was nervous, not knowing what had happened to make her father so nervous.
"Yu Ru, think carefully, who does the young master Rong who just came home resemble?"
"Like... like who?" Gu Yuru shook her head. "Dad, what's wrong with you? Do you know him?"
"Yu Ru, think carefully, this is a serious matter." Old Master Gu said in a deep voice.
Gu Yuru thought about it for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.
She is not Li Mumu, who knows so much, so it is normal that she can't figure it out.
"Yuru, think about it again. Do his eyes resemble Concubine Rong's? You've seen Concubine Rong several times!"
Gu Yuru stared at her father blankly. She thought carefully and said, "Dad, now that you put it that way, it really does look alike. But what happened?"
"Likely?"
Gu Yuru nodded, "Very similar."
Mr. Gu waved his hand and said, "Go out first. Don't tell anyone about this."
Gu Yuru went out quietly, but couldn't help muttering in her heart.
