Back in the village, Cai Xiaolian told Empress Dowager Jiang about the Li family's affairs, and also told her that Madam Li did indeed have a birthmark, a jade pendant, and clothes. She said that she would bring the items over after she finished dealing with the Li family's affairs.
Empress Dowager Jiang's hands trembled with excitement. She stepped forward and grasped Cai Xiaolian's hands, asking, "Xiaolian, are you serious? Is it really true? Is it really true?"
Cai Xiaolian patted the back of her hand: "Aunt Jiang, I wouldn't dare say that she is, but she does have these things. It's just that it will take a few more days to deal with the Li family's matter. Aunt Jiang, don't worry."
Empress Dowager Jiang nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, regarding the Li family's affairs, Bi Rong, come in!"
After Bi Rong entered, Empress Dowager Jiang asked her to deliver a message to Xue Qianyu, instructing him to make a trip to the Qingzhou government office. She emphasized that in the matter concerning the Li family, Madam Li and her son should not be subjected to any grievances. As for how to proceed, that was Xue Qianyu's responsibility.
She was so excited that she forgot Cai Xiaolian was still in the room. After Bi Rong left, she thought back and wondered if she had said anything that revealed her identity.
If Xiaolian asks, I'll say that I have a big business in the capital and know high-ranking officials.
As a result, Cai Xiaolian didn't ask anything, but just smiled and said, "Aunt Jiang, Sister Luo's sister-in-law is Lord Su's own sister. Don't worry that Lord Su will wrong Sister Luo and Mu Yan."
Empress Dowager Jiang suddenly realized: "Oh, there's this connection! It's alright, Qian Yu's family is quite powerful too. If he says a word, Lord Su will still give him face."
Cai Xiaolian: Your Majesty, you're just being too concerned. How am I supposed to think when you say that? He's only sixteen years old, yet he's getting the prefect to give him face and is protecting you here. Just how powerful must you be?
"By the way, Xiaolian, how is Muyan's injury? Is it serious? Do we need to find a good doctor? I know quite a few good doctors! If so, I'll have Ranran go and fetch them right away!" Empress Dowager Jiang asked again.
"No need, no need!" Cai Xiaolian waved her hands repeatedly. She already knew about Gu Xin giving Li Muyan the jade beads, so there shouldn't be any internal injuries. "I heard from Sister Luo that Muyan has suffered all kinds of injuries since he was a child. A master said that as long as his life is not in danger, and he survives past eighteen, his life will be smooth sailing."
"Is that so! This expert is quite remarkable. Mu Yan's future will surely be smooth sailing!" Empress Dowager Jiang had already regarded Lady Li as her niece.
If this is true, then the title of Duke of Rongguo will belong to Li Muyan. The Emperor remembers his uncle's kindness. As long as Li Muyan doesn't side with the princes, he will have a smooth and successful life.
No, no, she had to go back and tell Chun'er to give her brother a hereditary title. After Chun'er passed away, no matter which of Chun'er's foolish sons it was, they wouldn't be able to touch the Rongguo Duke's Mansion.
Okay, that's decided!
...
This summer is rather hot.
The Gu sisters have a habit of taking a stroll in the village after dinner.
That evening, the sisters were walking when they spotted Huo Junhao acting suspiciously by a pond. Looking to the other side, they saw a person hiding among the tall, green weeds. Hmm, no need to guess, judging from that height, it was definitely Meng Meng.
Gu Xin and Gu Si were about to call for help when Huo Junhao quickly waved his hand, making a shushing gesture, and then pointed in the direction of the village entrance.
Gu Xin and Gu Si looked over and saw that Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu were walking this way.
Now the four sisters understood that Meng Meng had allied with Huo Junhao and was here to deal with Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu.
Gu Xin excitedly pulled her friends along, saying, "This time I'm betting two hundred!"
Gu Si: "With Huo Junhao added, I guess he's an idiot!"
Gu Nian: "Pfft! 250, okay, I guess I'm 250 too!"
Gu Hui glanced at Gu Nian, puzzled, wondering what she was laughing at: "I guess two hundred!"
