Chapter 93 Lin Siyan's Counterattack
Gu Mingtang kept nagging behind Song Qiang, until Song Qiang was annoyed. "Good, good, sweet, so sweet, even sweeter than your love-struck Miss Dong."
The air suddenly became eerily quiet, and no one dared to make a sound.
Gu Mingtang's face instantly turned red and white. Just when Li Mumu thought his second uncle was about to yell, he suddenly said in a soft voice, "Wife, it's really sweet. I saw that you haven't drunk any water since last night. Try it."
Song Qiang originally had an angry look on her face, but she smiled helplessly in an instant.
The silly man is worried about himself, why is she bringing that up?
Isn’t it just that Miss Dong married in Suzhou?
Isn’t it just seeing it soon?
Her man is not a fickle guy like Li Yuan, so what is there to be afraid of as his wife?
Everyone saw her take a sip, and then a beautiful smile appeared on her face, "Sweet, really sweet."
Li Mumu blinked playfully, "Second Aunt, are you talking about water or something else?"
Gu Lan chuckled, his little cousin was really a smart one.
Song Qiang's face turned red from laughing. She glared at her man and helped him adjust the cloth wrapped around his wrist. She was afraid that the shackles were too heavy and would hurt him.
Seeing that everyone was still staring at her and laughing, Song Qiang felt even more embarrassed. "Mom, I... I just..."
Mrs. Gu is a sensible mother-in-law and would not interfere in matters between husband and wife. Besides, Miss Dong is not as attractive to her as Song Qiang.
"What happened just now? I'm old and my hearing is poor, so I didn't hear it."
Song Qiang knew about it, but her mother-in-law didn't mind. She turned around and slapped herself in the face. She had to be more careful with her words in the future.
The affair between Miss Dong and Gu Mingtang caused quite a stir back then. The two families had already made a verbal engagement, but Gu Mingtang happened to be away on a military expedition, and then news came that he was seriously injured.
The Dong family refused to recognize the marriage contract and quickly married Miss Dong to Suzhou.
Otherwise, this marriage would not have fallen on Song Qiang.
The Gu family didn't make a big deal out of the old relationship between the two families. Originally, Mrs. Gu thought that if Gu Mingtang was seriously injured, she would have to discuss the marriage with the Dong family so as not to delay the other girl's life.
Unexpectedly, the Dong family didn't do anything and just turned against us.
Gu Mingtang spent several years recovering from his injuries. Some also said that he couldn't let go of Miss Dong, so he got married when he was nearly 30 years old. Otherwise, Gu Yu would not be so much younger than Gu Lan.
"Well... the price you paid for escaping is too low. Nothing will happen if we catch you back." In order to ease the awkwardness, Song Qiang took the initiative to change the subject.
Everyone just said a few words along with what she said.
What else could it cost?
Originally, this was a scheme that Lin Siyan had discussed with others. Although the person they wanted to kill was not killed, Lin Siyan did contribute, so it was understandable that Luo Geng did not make things difficult for her.
Although the yamen runners did not make things difficult for her, the Li family would not let her off easily.
Insults, beatings, and most importantly, deprivation of food.
Eating one meal a day turned into not having any meal at all.
How could Lin Siyan, a pregnant woman, handle this?
Everyone knows that if you don’t eat porridge, you will starve to death.
So as soon as the porridge started to boil, Lin Siyan reached out to grab it. Li Fengzhu tried to stop her, and a fight ensued.
Everyone tried to stop her, but somehow the scalding hot porridge spilled onto Li Fengzhu's face, instantly forming a layer of large blisters.
Zhao might not have dared to speak out about other people's words, but Lin Siyan's current status was the lowest in the Li family, so she rushed over and hit someone.
Lin Siyan screamed in agony as she was beaten. Li Mumu saw that her scumbag father just frowned, probably because he was annoyed by her noise.
When they were hungry and thirsty, even their worldly feelings could not stand the test.
"Brother Yuan, if you don't care about my life or death, then I will tell everyone that we are exiled..."
Li Yuan jumped up and kicked Zhao, who was riding on Lin Siyan's belly, away. His cold gaze fell on Lin Siyan's red and swollen face, as if looking at an enemy.
Lin Siyan smiled, a little crazy. She stood up with the man's arm and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "Brother Yuan, I knew you still loved me."
After saying this, she looked in Gu Yuru's direction provocatively.
But Gu Yuru was busy adding firewood and had no interest in what happened in the Li family.
"Lin Siyan!" Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said her name, his gentleness gone.
Lin Siyan snorted, "Brother Yuan, if I can't survive, then none of us will survive."
Facing her threat, Li Yuan was a little dazed. Is this still the pure woman like a little rabbit that he knew?
The two whispered so that no one else could hear. Li Yuan suppressed his anger and said, "What are you arguing about? Do you really want to cause a death?"
"Uncle San, my face..." Li Fengzhu cried.
Zhao was also furious, "Third brother, this woman almost killed our entire family, and you're still protecting her?"
Li Yuan was speechless, unable to express his bitterness. "You beat her and scolded her yesterday, but she didn't escape, did she? And she's pregnant with my child, after all. Are you going to beat her to death?"
"The yamen runners didn't dare to harm her life easily. If you harm her life, have you thought about the consequences?"
Li Yuan's words successfully scared away everyone in the Li family, but he didn't want to look at Lin Siyan any more. He would feel disgusted if he looked at her any more.
Lin Siyan tried to pull Li Yuan's arm, but Li Yuan dodged.
"Brother Yuan, I...I'm not really going to run away. I'm doing this for everyone's good."
Lin Siyan told Luo Geng about her plan, but she also added, "He promised me that as long as I help him, he won't embarrass you again."
Li Yuan didn't say anything else. Lin Siyan couldn't tell whether he believed what she said.
But who cares?
She also saw the coldness and selfishness in this man.
Li Mumu had originally taken on the task of fetching water with her brothers, but since there didn't look like there was any water here at first glance, she followed Xie Xun and Gu Yu for a stroll.
When she was thinking about how to rationalize the spiritual spring water in the space, her feet suddenly went weak.
Gu Yu was still chattering in front, and Xie Xun was the first to notice that the little girl did not follow.
"What are you doing standing there?" Xie Xun turned around and found Li Mumu standing motionless just a few steps behind him.
"Cousin, are you tired from walking? Let me carry you." Gu Yu said and walked back.
"Don't come over!" Li Mumu shouted loudly, and her face changed drastically.
Xie Xun quickly grabbed Gu Yu by the collar and pulled him to his side.
Gu Yu was quite angry, "What are you doing?"
Xie Xun had no time to pay attention to him. Instead, he nervously looked at Li Mumu who was sinking slowly, "Don't move, it's quicksand!"
Li Mumu nodded, but she didn't dare to escape. It was her first time encountering this and she was just a little surprised.
