Chapter 74 Mumu, you saved my life
"Is there someone else?" Xie Xun asked tentatively.
Li Mumu smiled. "That's hard to say. This family is so mean, maybe they've been targeted for a long time. Maybe they took advantage of us to charm those guards and secretly emptied the warehouse!"
Xie Xun smiled faintly and said, "Let's just leave it like this for now."
"I don't think this will end so quickly. We threatened Governor Pei and forced him to sign the IOU. I'm afraid he won't let it go."
This is something unexpected. After all, Li Mumu's participation has changed Gu Lan's life trajectory, so it is very likely that something like this will happen next.
"Be careful." Xie Xun said.
Li Mumu nodded and flattered him, "With Brother Xie here, how can they hurt us?"
Xie Xun looked at her innocent eyes, curled his lips, and said firmly: "No."
Soon several people arrived at the post station. The Gu family was very excited to see Gu Lan, and Zhang Yi held his daughter's hand and refused to let go.
Song Qiang looked at everyone's expressions and said hastily, "Don't be anxious. There will be plenty of time to talk later. Let Lan'er take a break."
Madam Gu looked at Song Qiang, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Yi also looked at his daughter in confusion. Gu Lan had no intention of hiding it from everyone, so she told them everything, including how the two little guys, Li Mumu and Xie Xun, helped her out of the misery.
Upon learning of the Pei family's actions, Gu Mingyu was the most furious. He wanted to rush over and beat up the father and son. "My daughter, I'm sorry for you. I misjudged this marriage. I thought they were a family of civil servants, unlike our Gu family, who are so precarious. In the end, it was Dad who harmed you."
Gu Lan quickly stopped her self-blaming father and said, "Dad, you're doing this for my own good. How could I not know that the Pei family has always pretended to be so good in front of outsiders? If I hadn't married into the family and hadn't experienced this, I wouldn't have been able to see the true face of the Pei family."
She looked at Li Mumu and smiled knowingly, "Mumu took me away from that place. From now on, our family will look after each other."
"Alas...it's just that you're still pregnant, and it's a long journey. Daddy...Daddy feels bad for you."
"Uncle, with Mumu here, the baby in my cousin's belly will be fine."
When Zhang Yi thought that if the little girl had not appeared in time, his daughter and the baby in her belly would have lost their lives, he actually felt that exile was much safer than staying in the Pei family.
The Gu family felt sorry for Gu Lan, but were also glad that she and the baby in her belly survived.
The Li family finally understood after listening for a long time. Before, they did not dare to offend Gu Lan because she was the young wife of the prefect. But now, she is a divorced woman and a prisoner, no better than them.
"Mumu, you should come back to grandma. All the women in the Gu family have been divorced. If this gets out, you won't be able to get married in the future."
After knowing that Li Mumu was a doctor, Old Lady Li regretted giving the person to the Gu family. She took the opportunity to ridicule her while also testing Li Mumu's attitude.
Song Qiang rolled her eyes at the old woman. "The girl from our Gu family is divorced. Why does it sound so different when it comes to you?"
"It's all the same!" Zhao snorted coldly, "It's still the same that no man wants you anymore."
Song Qiang refused to give in. "Our girls would rather not get married and stay at home than let them go out and serve men just for a bite of food. Bah, don't talk to me. I find you disgusting."
Zhao pursed her lips and was speechless.
Madam Gu glanced coldly at the people from the Li family, then called out to Song Qiang, "Alright, why waste time talking to them? You're exhausted from buying so many things. Go and take a rest. Yuru and I will cook today."
"Mom, I'm going too!" Zhang Yi said.
Gu Yuru smiled gently, "Sister-in-law, Lan'er just came back, you and your daughter must have a lot to talk about. You cook tomorrow, I won't snatch it from you."
Zhang Yi felt a little embarrassed, but she really missed her daughter.
Old Master Gu took Gu Mingyu to negotiate with Zhang Xiang, and also brought Gu Lan's divorce letter.
Although she was not on the exile list, since Gu Lan and Pei Yuanqing were divorced, she would naturally have to return to the Gu family, so it was natural for her to join the exile team.
Especially since Mr. Gu gave him some money to buy wine, Zhang Xiang agreed.
Gu Lan was a little tired, after all, he was not feeling well just now, so he fell asleep after talking for a while.
Zhang Yi quietly retreated and saw Li Mumu chewing on the fruit. He waved at her, "Mumu, come here!"
Li Mumu ran over with her short legs, her voice sweet and sticky, "Aunt, is my cousin asleep? Don't worry, she'll be fine after today."
Zhang Yi squatted down, shook his head, and hugged the little girl's plump body. "My dear Mumu, you saved your cousin's life and the life of the child in her belly. Aunt... Aunt doesn't know what to say."
Zhang Yi was such a smart man, how could he not know that his daughter had a miscarriage today? With the character of the Pei family, it was only a matter of time before she would lose her life.
Judging from their refusal to divorce, they are probably just thinking of waiting for their daughter to die before marrying someone else.
"Mumu, you saved my life." Zhang Yi's hot tears fell on Li Mumu's shoulders.
Li Mumu pulled away and wiped away her tears with her chubby little hands, while Zhang Yi handed her the IOU and said, "This is for you."
"This belongs to my cousin."
"That's what she meant. Without you, she'd be dead, so how could she have these? Besides, if it weren't for you, she wouldn't have gotten these either."
Li Mumu shook her head, but her aunt's behavior still warmed her heart. "Mumu doesn't want money. Mumu just hopes that my cousin is well."
After all, it was a considerable sum of money, and she insisted on not taking it. Zhang Yi planned to give it to Gu Yuru and let her keep it, but Gu Yuru was not a greedy person. Moreover, if her daughter understood the truth, how could she, as a mother, not understand it?
But Zhang Yi insisted on not accepting it, and in the end, the IOU was handed to Madam Gu. Helplessly, she accepted it, but she smiled bitterly, "I don't know when we can settle this debt. We are going to the north and may not have the chance to come back."
Li Mumu smiled. It was true that the reason why he kept the Pei family's bunch of bastards was to watch them fight each other, but more importantly, it was because they wanted him to work for him.
This money will be taken back sooner or later.
"It's a pity that Lan'er's dowry includes your jade bracelet."
Madam Gu looked at her eldest daughter-in-law and smiled, shaking her head. Her wise eyes were indifferent. "It's just an object. How can it be as important as Lan'er's well-being?"
Li Mumu suddenly pulled out a pair of bracelets from her bosom. These were the ones she had just dug out from the space. She asked with a smile, "Grandma, is this it?"
