Chapter 92: Make them a pair
Old Master Gu was also quite surprised. "Mumu, are you telling the truth? Did you really hear your father and that Ma Biao talking about Concubine Rong?"
Li Mumu naturally didn't hear it. If she had heard it, she would have been able to tell who the yamen runner was from his voice!
The reason why she said this was because her scumbag father relied on Rong Fei's son, the male protagonist, to make a comeback in the future.
Concubine Rong was undoubtedly the champion of palace fighting, but there were times when she was just one step behind. She gave birth to a son, but someone replaced the prince with a daughter.
When Concubine Rong learned about this, she decisively decided to take advantage of the situation and raised her son away from home, while telling others that she had given birth to a daughter.
First, it can paralyze the enemy, second, it can reduce the enemy's edge and let the enemy help attract firepower, and third, it can keep the son away from open and hidden attacks, carefully teach him and grow up outside, and find the right time to return to his roots.
You know, it is glorious to give birth to a prince, but not all princes can grow up safely. The more outstanding ones die earlier.
When reading the book, Li Mumu admired the woman Rong Fei. If she were the protagonist, she would definitely be the heroine.
It is written that because the heroine saved the hero, Li Yuan also stood on the hero's side, and everything became natural.
But after experiencing it in person, Li Mumu felt that it was not the case at all.
Given the stinginess and viciousness of the Li family, how could they allow an unknown outsider to live in their home, share their food, and spend money on his medical treatment? It is not like their character.
The only condition for this being possible is that they knew the identity of the child from the beginning. The so-called heroine just picked up the blessing of a little prince casually, and she did it on purpose from the beginning.
There are artificial beauties now, and in ancient times there were artificial treasures.
Although Li Mumu could not be sure that Ma Biao was Concubine Rong's man, she believed that Concubine Rong was responsible for the Gu family's misfortune, because Old Man Gu had always supported the Crown Prince, but unfortunately the Crown Prince was deposed because of witchcraft.
Although Mr. Gu was not implicated, Concubine Rong regarded him as a thorn in her side.
Therefore, Li Mumu felt that she was not wronging her grandfather's family by asking them to be wary of Concubine Rong.
When Old Man Gu saw Li Mumu nod affirmatively, his eyes darkened a little, and he glanced at Xie Xun vaguely from the corner of his eye, "Mumu, grandpa knows about this. You can't tell anyone else, understand?"
Li Mumu nodded vigorously, "Mumu understands."
"You're quite good." Xie Xun praised sincerely.
Li Mumu raised her eyebrows proudly and arrogantly, "Is that even necessary?"
Xie Xun shook his head, he really didn't know how to be humble, but then he thought, why should such a capable girl be humble?
By the time he reacted, the corners of his mouth were already raised high.
Since they had just been talking and came back a little late, everyone had already started eating.
As soon as Li Mumu came back, Gu Yu handed her the bowl of porridge and blew on it. He said considerately, "Cousin, eat quickly. I just blew on it for you. It's not hot at all."
Li Mumu smiled sweetly, resisting the urge to pinch the little fat boy's chubby cheeks. "Thank you, cousin."
Song Qiang pretended to be jealous and said, "Mumu, Second Aunt is so envious of you. I've raised this son for several years, and he never even offered me a bowl of porridge. He just sent it to you. What's the point of raising a son?"
Gu Yu blushed, "Mom, Mumu is young, I have to take care of him. You are so old now, if you want someone to flatter you, go find dad."
Gu Mingtang cleared his throat awkwardly, "Say...what are you talking about?"
Song Qiang is a man of this kind. She has no knowledge or taste at all, but he is not a bad person. Although he does not say sweet words to her, he is very caring towards her.
She was not very happy to marry a warrior at first, but the man always took the lead in everything. When she returned to her parents' home and was ridiculed by her elder sister, it was this man who stood in front of her and said, "No one can bully my wife. If you don't like her, she will not return to the Song family."
In one sentence, she knew she had married the right person.
Song Qiang looked at the blushing man and laughed, not angry at all. "But having said that, sister, I really like Mumu. Why not let Mumu be my son so that I can get rich and keep the wealth within my family?"
Gu Yuru smiled, thinking she was joking.
"I'm serious. You know the brat best. If he dares to do anything wrong to Mumu in the future, I won't complain even if you beat him to death."
Li Mumu was so scared that she didn't even dare to drink the porridge.
Child marriage is not acceptable, especially marriage between close relatives, as it will affect future generations.
Madam Gu began to defend her daughter, "Yu'er is good, and Mumu is not bad either, but we have to wait until the children grow up and become sensible before asking for their opinions, right?"
Gu Yuru nodded, "That's right. If Mumu is willing in the future, Second Sister-in-law can't look down on us for marrying above her station."
"What are you talking about? It's my little brat who's trying to climb up the social ladder."
Li Mumu knew that her mother said this because she didn't want her second aunt to be sad, but who can tell what will happen when you grow up?
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart, and there are more than one person who takes it to heart.
Gu Yu was happy. His little cousin was so nice. If he could marry her in the future, he would be so happy. He wouldn't have to go out to see a doctor when he was sick.
Moreover, my cousin is a good archer and can protect him.
Xie Xun quickly finished his meal and put down his bowl and chopsticks. Li Mumu saw that he looked unhappy, so she quickly took a few bites and chased after him, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No!"
"Why did you eat so little?" Li Mumu knew that he was stubborn and awkward, so regardless of whether he agreed or not, she forced herself to feel his pulse.
Xie Xun could have shaken her off if he wanted to, but he was afraid of hurting the little girl, so he just said with a dark face, "Did I say that?"
Li Mumu also nodded. "Yeah, really not. I was scared to death. You can't eat so little. Are you afraid that you don't have enough money to pay for the meal?"
Xie Xun said coldly, "I won't owe you a penny less."
Li Mumu didn’t understand. What happened to him?
Boys' hearts are so hard to understand.
There was no time to investigate further, as the yamen runners had already called people to set off.
Li Mumu hurried to help put things away, and took the opportunity to put some more rice into the rice bag, a few eggs into the egg basket, and some dried meat and vegetables.
Oh, and don’t let go of the water bag either.
Gu Mingtang took a sip of water and asked in confusion, "Why is this water so sweet?"
Song Qiang patted him and said, "That's because you haven't been drinking enough water these days. There's only so much water for so many people to drink, and we still have to cook. You won't say that when you have enough to drink."
Gu Mingtang shook his head, "No, I really think it's sweet, wife, why don't you have a sip."
Song Qiang licked her lips, wanting to drink, but looking at the elderly and children in the team, she shook her head and said, "I just drank, I'm not thirsty at all."
Gu Mingtang sighed. He really thought the water was sweet. Was it an illusion?
