Cai Xiaolian brought out the eggs: "Isn't that right? We've all benefited from Niannian's cooking. Sit down and eat! I'll save some for Yanyu in the pot first."
Li Muyan asked, "Aunt Lian, who is Yanyu?"
Cai Xiaolian: "Junhao's younger sister came to our house yesterday and is still resting now."
After saying that, Cai Xiaolian took it to the kitchen and heated it in a pot.
Li Muyan prepared a meal for Gu Nian. Gu Nian felt embarrassed under the watchful eyes of her parents and sisters: "I can do it myself, your hand is injured."
Gu Xin and Gu Si ate while watching the two interact, taking a bite of porridge and smiling.
Gu Hui patted the two of them and said, "Eat properly!"
Gu Xin and Gu Si giggled, "Oh!"
Then eat your food obediently.
Gu Nian felt that the area above her neck had turned red, like a shrimp that had been boiled in boiling water and turned completely red.
After eating, the sisters did some light exercise, then went to get water to take a bath and change their clothes.
Li Muyan could only chat with Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian.
He took the initiative to talk about what happened to his family last night.
Last night, after dinner, Li Shan went to the Buddhist hall to chat with Madam Li. However, Madam Li felt that Li Shan should not be close to Madam Li and the Duke and Duchess of Rongguo.
She advised Madam Li to stop trying to frame Madam Li, but Madam Li scolded her and even forbade her from contacting Madam Li and the others. Li Shan refused, and Madam Li went mad, saying that she had given Li Shan her life and that if she did not live up to her wishes, she would take it back.
As it happened, the Duke of Rongguo took Zhang Chen for a walk after they had eaten too much. They happened to pass by the Buddhist hall, heard the commotion inside, and went in to rescue Li Shan.
Later, the prefect personally led the coroner and yamen runners over. The coroner examined the cause of death and found that the blow was not fatal; Madam Li died from a pre-existing illness.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shouxin's lips curled into a slight smile, and he said, "Muyan, you believe in coroners too?"
Li Muyan nodded: "That's right! How could my maternal grandfather have allowed someone to kill my aunt? My grandmother also said that my aunt did have a pre-existing condition, and it's possible that it could have flared up suddenly in that state of extreme anger."
Gu Shouxin smiled and said nothing more.
Cai Xiaolian asked, "Muyan, what about Li Shan? She was frightened yesterday, is she feeling better now?"
Li Muyan nodded and sighed, "Fourth Sister is very upset; her eyes are swollen from crying. My maternal grandmother is heartbroken for her. Eldest Sister is still very insistent that Uncle Zhang deliberately killed Aunt. She's causing trouble for Grandmother at home, wanting to divide the family property. To be honest, my uncle didn't leave behind any sons. Even if the family were to divide, he would only give them their dowry. Why bother?"
Cai Xiaolian was taken aback. Li Shan was really something. In this situation, she tried her best to fight for her rights and stopped attacking the Duke of Rong.
Last night, Gu Shouxin told her that Madam Li really did die from that palm strike. As outsiders, they shouldn't try to sow discord between them! So, she didn't plan to say anything to Madam Li and Li Muyan.
Moreover, in Cai Xiaolian's view, Madam Li should be able to see that this was their choice, and it was pointless for others to say anything more.
It's estimated that Madam Li intends to treat her eldest daughters well and make amends to them.
Li Muyan hadn't been sitting for long when A Dong called him back, saying that someone from his family had come and had something important to say.
After Li Muyan left, the couple exchanged a glance, and Cai Xiaolian couldn't help but ask, "Dad, do you think he truly believes the coroner, or is he just pretending?"
