Chapter 236 Fortunately, there is Twilight
Li Mumu's words made everyone laugh, except for the three people from the Li family.
"That's right." Gu Lan's belly was already quite big, but she still wanted to participate in the family's big events. "What's wrong with a divorce? A divorce means throwing away the bad one and finding a better one."
Zhang Yi's eyes lit up. Although he knew that his daughter was deliberately trying to anger the Li family, the fact that she said that proved that she would have hope of getting married again.
It’s not that she can’t afford to raise her daughter, but she feels that her daughter will have no one who understands her and loves her in the future.
But if she really decides not to get married, she will take good care of her and her child.
Old Madam Gu also smiled. In the past, this mother-in-law spoke in a vulgar manner, had a small mind, and was not presentable. She gave her enough face, but rarely said too much.
"Some people have poor eyesight and mistake fish eyes for pearls, but some people have a pair of discerning eyes."
After hearing everyone's chatter, Li Yuan's face became even uglier.
How could he not hear that every word the Gu family said was mocking him?
Even his own children did not speak to him.
But he didn't dare to get angry, let alone scold, so he could only shrink his neck and act like a turtle.
What else?
He doesn't want to live a hard life in such a place all his life.
When they arrived at Gu's house, Gu Yuru didn't stay at all and took Li Mumu to change clothes.
Although the charcoal fire in the stove had gone out when I left, the residual warmth in the house was still there.
Although the current Gu family is not as good as the capital, it is already very good in the countryside. It is elegant, fresh, and well-organized.
It's nowhere near as chaotic as the Li family.
Li Rong shivered from the alternation of cold and heat, and couldn't help but look at the furnishings in the room. They were really nice.
How does the Gu family have the money to buy these things?
Mr. Gu didn't let them sit down, but said coldly: "Talk now."
Old Mrs. Li shamelessly sat down with her children, and Old Mr. Gu didn't chase them away.
Li Yuan looked at his mother and sister beside him, knowing that they were big mouths, "Mom, you and sister should go out."
Mrs. Li rolled her eyes in displeasure. "I know there are things I can't listen to."
Li Rong also nodded. The Gu family's house was warm and smelled of incense. She sat down and didn't want to get up anymore.
But Li Yuan insisted, so Mrs. Li had to pull her daughter away. However, she was not idle either, and took the opportunity to look around.
The mother and daughter saw the snacks in their room and grabbed a handful when no one was looking.
The Gu family's current life really makes them envious.
The mother and daughter exchanged glances from time to time, clearly showing envy and jealousy.
The house was much quieter without the mother and daughter of the Li family.
The three Gu brothers stared at Li Yuan eagerly, especially Gu Mingjing, who seemed a little impatient. "If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to fart, just fart. Every moment you stay in my house, the house becomes more smelly."
Li Yuan smiled awkwardly. He knew that the three brothers of the Gu family would not go out.
"Old man, to be honest, I was forced to do this."
Li Yuan said shamelessly.
But Gu Mingyu, who was always good-tempered, suddenly got angry.
"Forced? Li Yuan, do you know how many people died and how many civilians are suffering as a result of your defeat? Just saying you were forced is enough to end it?"
Gu Mingyu wanted to chop him into pieces with a knife.
Does he know his responsibilities as a general?
The other two brothers were no less angry than him, but they didn't dare to move without the old man's order.
"Brother, this is a long story."
"Then just make it short." Gu Mingjing said unhappily.
"Okay!" Li Yuan's attitude was very humble. "Old man, I am partly responsible for the defeat, but... it was not my intention to implicate the Gu family. I'm talking about the fact that I was forced to do this to get close to my elder brother."
"Oh? Who forced you?" Gu Jian asked calmly.
"I'd like to hear what threat that person used to force you to harm your father-in-law's family?" Gu Jian sneered.
Li Yuan had already anticipated his doubts, so he said calmly, "Fei Rong."
Gu Jian frowned and looked at him coldly. He didn't lie?
The three brothers of the Gu family also exchanged glances, wondering whether Li Yuan really had a change of heart or had set up some new scheme?
"Concubine Rong? Are you kidding? I have no grudge against her. What purpose does she have in harming me?" Gu Jian said in a deep voice, "Concubine Rong is the most favored concubine in the harem. Her respect and favor are unmatched. She only has one daughter, and I don't support any prince. We have nothing to do with each other. Li Yuan, you should think of a better way to deceive me."
Li Yuan rolled his eyes, then continued, "I really didn't lie. One of her people was among the yamen runners before. Old man, I was really forced."
He hurriedly explained, "She...she threatened Yuru and the children's lives and asked me to bring down the Gu family. I did this to protect my wife and children. I know that this will harm the Gu family, but at least we are still alive. Isn't it good now?"
He took a deep breath, looked at the expressions of the four men, and continued with the excuse he had thought of countless times at home, "I've thought about it too. Concubine Rong is targeting the Gu family. Even if this incident hadn't happened, it would have been difficult for the Gu family to stay in Shangjing City. It's better to flee there and find another opportunity!"
Although Gu Mingjing is the youngest, he is also the smartest. He saw through Li Yuan's trick at a glance, but he was not in a hurry to expose him.
When a cat catches a mouse, it will not kill it with one bite. Instead, it will play with it slowly and only eat it when it loses interest.
"That's nonsense." Gu Mingjing interrupted him. "As you said, what about Lin Siyan? Could she also be someone sent by Concubine Rong?"
Li Yuan said, "Yes, Mingjing, you are really smart. She was also sent by Concubine Rong. I had no choice but to play along with her, which wronged Yuru and the children."
"Bullshit, Lin Siyan died a long time ago. Since she was monitoring you, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Gu Mingjing asked again.
Li Yuan paused, "I don't dare. Who knows if there are Rong Fei's men in the dark?"
Gu Jian laughed inwardly. If Mumu hadn't discovered early on that he was Rong Fei's man, he would have been persuaded by his words by now.
Fortunately, there is Twilight.
"I don't think you and Lin Siyan are fake. You've hurt my sister and the children for her. Li Yuan, you have nothing to prove now, and there's no evidence to prove it. How can I trust you?"
Gu Mingjing stared into his eyes and raised the corner of her lips. "Also, you haven't told me why Concubine Rong wanted to harm our Gu family? Could it be that she has some secret?"
