Chapter 265: Leaving a Way Out for Mumu
"Mom, please let Mumu go back. When I get better, I'll go play with Mumu with my brother. My brother said the food at Mumu's house is delicious."
Although she was recuperating, Nie Yuehua was in a better mood and her appetite had improved a lot. Her face had become more plump than before.
When Mrs. Nie heard her daughter talking about food, she was overjoyed. "Come on, come on, come on. Since it's so delicious, let me try it too. The three of us will go, and let your father stay here to look after the house."
It’s not that Magistrate Nie doesn’t want to go, it’s just that he’s too busy with official duties to leave.
Magistrate Nie smiled and said, "I've tried it before, it's really delicious. Madam Gu has now opened a restaurant with her cooking skills."
"Then we must go." Mrs. Nie said with a smile.
Turning around, she softly said to Li Mumu, "Mumu, remember this is your home from now on. You're always welcome, okay?"
Li Mumu nodded, "I understand, godmother. If Mumu comes to visit me in the future, I'm afraid you'll be annoyed by me."
"How could that be?" Mrs. Nie said with a smile.
Gu Mingjing cleared his throat and looked at the people who had been moving the large and small boxes for a while. He felt a little embarrassed. "Madam, this... you are too polite."
"These are all for my family. To be honest, Mumu saved Yuehua, and even if I gave my life to her, I still don't think it's enough. Here's a little token of my appreciation, and some food for you to eat on the way."
Gu Mingjing bowed, "Thank you, Madam."
"Brother Gu, although I don't hold a high position, if you really run into trouble here, I can still help you. We are all family, so please don't be polite."
"Thank you, Brother Nie."
Li Mumu looked at Nie Yuehua and took her hand. "Sister, you must take good care of yourself. Be careful in the next two months and take your medicine on time. In two months, you will be completely healed."
Nie Yuehua smiled brightly, "Then I'll go find you."
"Okay, I'll ask my second aunt to make a lot of delicious food for my sister."
Although she had seen Nie Yuehua's attitude towards Xiang Siwen, Li Mumu was still afraid of leaving, and they were once again caught up in the plot.
She gestured for Nie Yuehua to bend down slightly, then whispered in her ear, "Sister, I heard from Xiang the other day that he was the one who caused you to fall into the water on purpose."
Nie Yuehua's face suddenly tightened. The Nie couple only saw the change in her expression, but they didn't know what the two sisters said.
Nie Yuehua nodded, "I understand. I will take care of that bastard."
Li Mumu felt relieved this time.
After all, Nie Yuehua is not stupid. Now that she knows that Xiang Siwen has thought about killing her, as long as she is not crazy, she will not have anything to do with him anymore.
Mrs. Nie was relieved to see her daughter's composure had returned to normal, but she was still a little curious about what the two of them had said.
After saying goodbye to the Nie family, Li Mumu got on the carriage. Originally, there was only one carriage, but this time there were two. In fact, the Nie family wanted to prepare another one because the things they gave were so many that they could barely fit everything.
It was definitely not possible to rely on Gu Yu to drive the car, so Xie Xun silently went to the back car.
"Oh, it would be so nice if Mumu could live in our house forever." Madam Nie said with a wry smile, "I really like this child. Even if she doesn't have these abilities, I still like her."
Magistrate Nie stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Mumu is more sensible than most children. Even at such a young age, she's very well versed in the ways of the world. Just like you said, she treats patients without accepting payment. She's done a great job."
"That's right. Those ladies kept asking me if Mumu had promised to marry someone." Madam Nie smiled and said, "Some of them just said straight out that as long as Mumu could marry them, they would set any conditions."
"That's a good idea. Mr. Gu has already chosen one for Mumu."
"Xie Xun." Madam Nie smiled. "That child looks good. Although he doesn't like to talk, his eyes are always on Mumu. Just now, when Mumu got into the car, he was carefully protecting her."
Mrs. Nie thought of that scene and couldn't help but say, "At such a young age, he already knows how to care for Mumu. He should be fine in the future."
"You only saw this. That child must have some extraordinary qualities, but we haven't discovered them yet. Mr. Gu treats Mumu like his own apple of his eye. Do you think he would just pick someone for Mumu casually?"
"That's true, but I'm not stupid. I've already said that I'm Mumu's godmother. I can't make the final decision on this matter, but I didn't say anything final. I thought that if Xie Xun turned out to be unreliable, I'd better leave Mumu a way out."
"Haha, Madam, you..."
"What's wrong with me? You can't judge a man by his appearance. Many men are unreliable!"
"Including me?"
"Not now, but maybe later on." A hint of pride flashed in Mrs. Nie's eyes, like a little girl.
"Speaking of which, I was wrong about that kid from the Xiang family." Prefect Nie sighed. "I originally thought of our friendship as classmates. I thought that although their family wasn't wealthy, with my protection, my daughter wouldn't have to suffer if she married into their family. But I didn't expect..."
Magistrate Nie shook his head and said, "Yuehua is still young, let's wait for the marriage."
"Of course. By the way, Yuehua, what did Mumu just say to you? I can see that you don't look very happy."
Nie Yuehua rolled her eyes and said, "Nothing? Mom, I just felt sad when I thought about my sister leaving."
She didn't doubt Li Mumu's words. After all, Mumu couldn't possibly know that she fell into the water.
Since she said that, she must have really heard Xiang Siwen mention it.
But she didn't say it because she wanted to avenge this grudge herself.
If I tell my parents, firstly, I won't feel relieved, and secondly, what if my father doesn't take action because of our friendship?
Wait until she has had enough fun.
Mrs. Nie felt that this should not be the case, but since her daughter didn't say anything, she didn't dare to ask any further.
Nie Yuehua curled her lips and decided to start with Xiang Siwen when she recovered.
…
Li Mumu first went to the inn to pick up Tian Xueni, and then the group rushed back.
Tian Xueni was completely shocked sitting in the carriage
If she wasn't so thin, there would be no place for her to sit.
"These...why are there so many things?"
Gu Yu spoke frankly, "These were all given to my cousin by Madam Nie."
"Then this lady is really rich."
"She is the prefect's wife and Mumu's godmother."
"The prefect's wife?" Tian Xueni exclaimed again, "How high of an official must that be?"
But then she thought, the Gu family also had high-ranking officials, so their friends were naturally all high-ranking officials as well.
She is like this...
Li Mumu glanced at her little cousin who was talking nonsense. Gu Yu also noticed something and stuck out his tongue.
"Well, Aunt Tian, the shoes you made for me are so comfortable, soft and fit my feet perfectly."
Tian Xueni didn't go out these days and just stayed in the inn to help everyone with their shoes.
