Chapter 809 Do you want this blessing?
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people in front of the door suddenly changed.
The one who reacted the most was Li Zhuang. He tugged at him and said, "Goudan, don't talk about my mother like that."
Liu Goudan glared at him viciously and said, "I told you, don't call me that."
Without waiting for Li Zhuang to speak, he lowered his voice and said, "You keep talking about your mother all day long. If she really loved you, how could she be so cruel as to leave you to live a good life over there?"
Although his voice was not loud, Yan Changkun and Ziheng who were standing nearby could hear it clearly.
Especially the word "enjoy happiness", which sounds harsh no matter how you hear it.
Li Zhuang's mother died of illness. She suffered a lot of pain and torture before her death. She was so thin that only a bag of bones was left.
How come after he said that, he lost his life, but ended up enjoying a good life over there?
Yan Changkun asked with a cold face: "Since you think that people go to enjoy happiness after death, do you want this blessing?"
Liu Goudan blurted out: "I'm living well, why should I die?"
He glared at Yan Changkun fiercely and said, "If you think it's a blessing, then enjoy it yourself!"
After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong and quickly turned to look at Li Zhuang, whispering: "Don't be fooled by them, these people in the capital are very hypocritical."
Hypocrisy? Yan Zhangkun raised an eyebrow.
He has been doing business for so many years and has always been praised for his honesty and conscience.
Even his business rivals, no matter how much they hated him, could not find any fault with him.
This was the first time someone used the word hypocritical to describe him.
This so-called adopted son of Princess Shihan is not only ugly in appearance, but also nothing he says is pleasant to the ear.
No wonder they can get along so well, it turns out they have similar tastes!
Seeing the disgust on Yan Changkun's face, Liu Goudan said loudly: "Since the Yan family can't tolerate him, the princess shouldn't have made such a boast in the first place."
He pointed at Li Zhuang and angrily demanded, "How old is he? You're asking for his life by letting him go back to the border town alone."
Yan Changkun frowned and said in frustration, "This is indeed a problem. I didn't think it through."
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Liu Goudan's eyes.
Before he could utter the words he had prepared, Yan Changkun said, "It's rare that you two are so kind to each other, and Princess Shihan is always kind-hearted. You should take the child back to the Duke's Mansion."
"No!" Liu Goudan's refusal came out of his mouth.
If not everyone in the world knew about his identity as an adopted son, he would have no place to stand in the Duke's Mansion.
If I bring another Li Zhuang back, will he want to live?
Hearing the questioning voice behind him, Liu Goudan clenched his fist and said, "The person was brought back by Princess Yong'an, so she should be in charge. My godmother doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs."
Yan Changkun raised his eyebrows, "Young Master, you are wrong. Saving a life is a good deed that is better than building a seven-story pagoda. How can it be called a trivial matter?"
Someone followed up on his words, "Everyone in the capital knows that Princess Shihan is kindhearted. When she goes out, she wouldn't even step on an ant.
Not to mention, this is a real person.”
"That's right. If the princess was here today, she would definitely take the person back without saying a word."
"This adopted son is just an adopted son, not a biological son. He hasn't learned the princess's noble principles at all."
As Liu Goudan listened to those words, his expression became more subtle.
Is the princess they are talking about really the godmother he knows?
When he thought about how he had followed his instructions and went to greet Zhuang Shihan in the morning, but was hit by her with a teacup instead, he felt that these people must be crazy.
Rather than believing that his godmother is kind, he would rather believe that he is the emperor's abandoned son and grandson!
Too lazy to waste time talking to them, Liu Goudan made up a random excuse and said, "My godmother is getting married soon. When she gets married, she will move out of the Duke's Mansion and won't be able to take him back with her."
It is indeed not convenient for a daughter who is about to marry out to bring a half-grown child home.
Besides, everyone in the capital knows that Duke Jingguo had long since removed Zhuang Shihan from the family tree.
If the words "Daughter of the Duke" had not been written on the imperial edict granting marriage, given Duke Jingguo's temper, he would probably not allow her to continue living at home to prepare for her marriage.
Liu Goudan didn't hear anyone else speak, and he thought he had found a perfect excuse, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
When he returns to the Duke's Mansion, his godmother will definitely praise him for his intelligence.
She was a very generous person when she was happy. He had saved up several hundred taels of silver during the time he stayed with her.
As for food and clothing, he was never treated badly.
In her words, she must never lose face when she goes out.
Liu Goudan pressed down the corners of his mouth and was about to speak when he saw Yan Changkun suddenly laugh.
His heart skipped a beat.
Why is this old guy suddenly so happy?
Meeting his suspicious eyes, Yan Changkun smiled brightly and said, "Everyone knows that Princess Shihan and General Lin are deeply in love. They often go out and come in together in the border town. Their relationship is the envy of others.
I believe that after they get married, General Lin will love you and your two children as well."
After hearing his reminder, those people reacted one after another.
"Yes, after Princess Shihan gets married, her adopted son will definitely move to the Princess's Mansion with her."
With just one sentence, all the rebuttals that Liu Goudan was about to say were blocked.
If he dared to say anything more, he would be digging a hole for himself.
Compared to the common people who only heard and guessed, Liu Goudan actually lived in the Duke's Mansion and knew Zhuang Yuanzhong's attitude towards Zhuang Shihan very well.
Just waiting for the person to get married, marry her off, and then never have any contact with her again until she dies.
By that time, wouldn't he, this damn adopted son, be kicked out of the house?
Liu Goudan looked at Yan Changkun who was smiling, and then at Li Zhuang who was clearly looking forward to it, and gritted his teeth in hatred.
This fat pig, I had clearly told him before to make a big scene in there, preferably by running out and making a fool of himself for everyone to see.
He was so good, not only did he fail to get the job done, but he was also kicked out.
If I take him back like this, won’t my godmother kick him out of the Duke’s Mansion?
No, he couldn't let this fat pig get in his way.
Liu Goudan immediately came up with an idea. He bowed to Yan Changkun and said, "Shopkeeper Yan, I can't make the decision on such a big matter alone. I have to go back and ask my godmother."
What he said didn't make sense, but he turned around and left in such a hurry that it didn't look like he was going back to discuss it with Zhuang Shihan.
It's more like - running away!
Yan Changkun looked at Li Zhuang, who was still in a daze, and reminded him, "Why don't you chase him quickly?"
He was fat to begin with, and his hands and feet were far less flexible than Liu Goudan's.
But in a moment of distraction, the person had already run far away and was almost out of sight.
Li Zhuang snorted coldly, holding his bag and grunting as he stepped forward, chasing after him while shouting, "Goudan, wait for me!"
Yan Changkun couldn't help but burst out laughing, and quickly looked at the few people watching the excitement and said, "I'm sorry for making you laugh today. I'll be waiting for you at Juweizhai tomorrow."
Several people hurriedly bowed to him and said, "Shopkeeper Yan is so kind, we will respectfully obey your orders."
*
In the alley, the harassed Liu Goudan stomped on Li Zhuang's foot and shouted angrily, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Stay away from me!"
Li Zhuang's face turned pale with pain, and he asked blankly, "Goudan, didn't you say we were good friends?"
