Yu Yirou thought for a moment and then said.
Her legs were quite weak, and it was only because Gu Lili and Chang'an were here today that Granny Zhang had so many concerns.
If it weren't for Chang'an and Gu Lili being there today, the mother and daughter would have suffered a loss as well.
Granny Zhang glanced at Gu Lili, then at Chang'an. Seeing the two of them like this, she felt she couldn't afford to offend them.
Just as he was about to nod in agreement, Gu Lili stopped him.
"Not only the rent, but also the medical expenses for Mulan's injury must be compensated!" Gu Lili said without any room for argument.
It's only right to refund the rent, and compensation for medical expenses is also a must.
To everyone's surprise, when Granny Zhang heard Gu Lili say she wanted to pay for the medical expenses, she slapped her thigh and started howling again.
"My God, you guys hurt me too! How dare you ask me to pay for your medical expenses? If anyone has to pay, it's me who has to pay for my medical expenses!"
Granny Zhang pointed to Chang'an and said.
Chang'an smiled and said, "You say I hurt you? Where did I hurt you? You were pointing at my young lady just now, so I grabbed your hand, but your hand isn't injured at all. What's there to compensate me for!"
Fortunately, Chang'an had held back and hadn't used too much force.
Chang'an's words left Granny Zhang speechless for a moment, her face flushed red, and she couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
Gu Lili couldn't help but laugh. How could she not know that Chang'an was so cunning?
It took Granny Zhang a long time to finally manage to utter a single sentence.
"My leg is injured too!"
Chang'an didn't even glance at Granny Zhang, and said, "Your knee has nothing to do with me. You fell because you were in a hurry and lost your balance!"
Unable to get anywhere and fearing that Yu Yirou really wouldn't move out, Granny Zhang had no choice but to angrily return three months' rent to Yu Yirou.
The total is one tael of silver and two hundred cash.
Gu Lili held out her hand, her face expressionless, and said, "The cost of the medicine! One tael!"
Upon hearing this, Granny Zhang nearly jumped up.
"I say, why don't you just go out and rob someone? It's just a little scratch on the hand, and you're asking for a tael of silver! Are you out of your mind!"
If it weren't for her fear of Chang'an, Granny Zhang would have loved to point her finger at Gu Lili and yell at her.
“Mulan’s injured hand means she can’t work for at least ten days to two weeks. Both she and her daughter do manual labor, and they can’t work for so many days. Shouldn’t you compensate them?” Gu Lili said methodically.
Chang'an, standing to the side, also cooperated with Gu Lili, cracking his hands in his anxiety.
It seemed as if if Granny Zhang refused to give money, Chang'an would beat her up in the next second.
Granny Zhang glanced at Chang'an, then gritted her teeth and took out one tael of silver.
Gu Lili snatched the silver and handed it to Yu Yirou.
Granny Zhang's heart bled as she looked at the silver.
Today I really tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead. I was originally thinking of getting a free tael or two of silver from Yu Yirou.
Unexpectedly, I now have to pay out of my own pocket an extra tael of silver.
However, it's good that we were able to get the mother and daughter to leave, so we can get the money from the house sale smoothly tomorrow.
Yu Yirou gratefully accepted the silver and then tried to crawl to pick up the bedding on the ground.
“Madam, let me do it. Chang’an, you go and move the carriage over. We’ll help Madam Yu move.”
While stopping Yu Yirou's actions, Gu Lili spoke to Chang'an.
Today, he and Chang'an arrived by horse-drawn carriage.
Because the Liu family's house was too far from Yu Yirou's house, and the entrance to Yu Yirou's courtyard was too cramped, it would be difficult for people to pass if the carriage was parked there.
So the two of them parked the carriage in a spacious area of a nearby alley.
Chang'an nodded and quickly led the carriage over.
Xiao Mulan endured the pain and packed up her and Yu Yirou's belongings.
In fact, the two of them didn't have much to pack; their bedding had already been taken away and thrown out by Granny Zhang.
The remaining items included a broken hunchbacked pot for the two of them to cook with, two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and a change of clothes for each person.
Furthermore, there are the seashells used to make mother-of-pearl inlay.
However, there are very few left.
Chang'an arrived quickly and helped Mu Lian and Gu Lili pack their things.
Little Mulan looked at the house she had lived in for several years and knew she was about to leave.
She couldn't help but burst into tears.
She didn't cry when she hurt her hand, but if she left this place, she and her mother would have no home.
This made Xiao Mulan feel sad.
"Mulian, don't cry. Let's go. Wherever Mother is, that's our home," Yu Yirou said lovingly, holding Mulian in her arms.
Mulan nodded and wiped the tears from her face.
“Yes, Mother is right. Home is wherever Mother is.” Mulan nodded and said to Yirou.
With the help of Gu Lili and Chang'an, Yu Yirou boarded the carriage.
Gu Lili also picked up Mu Lian and put her on the carriage, then jumped on herself and crawled into the carriage.
Chang'an glanced at the treetops not far away, then gestured with his eyes to the small courtyard in front of him, and then gestured with his right hand.
Seeing Wei Yue nod, Chang'an then boarded the carriage and drove away.
Wei Yue jumped down from the tree and made sure no one was paying attention to him.
In a flash, he entered the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Granny Zhang was still cursing and swearing, heartbroken over the few taels of silver she had spent.
He even went so far as to insult Chang'an and Gu Lili's ancestors for eighteen generations.
If the two hadn't suddenly appeared and caused trouble today, she felt she wouldn't have lost so much money.
So engrossed in her cursing, Granny Zhang didn't even notice Wei Yue standing behind her with a dark expression.
Wei Yue had originally received orders from Chang'an to cripple the gossipy old woman's fingers.
However, since she dared to insult the Crown Prince, Wei Yue couldn't be blamed for being ruthless.
Wei Yue reached out, and Granny Zhang's screams echoed throughout the entire courtyard.
The people in the neighborhood had breakfast early in the morning and went out to do their jobs.
So there aren't many people there. Even if there are, they are mostly elderly people who are unable to walk or are blind or deaf, so they are not a threat.
As soon as Granny Zhang turned around, she saw Wei Yue behind her.
Her right index finger also bent backwards in a strange way.
If I'm not mistaken, her index finger is probably useless.
The pain was so intense that Granny Zhang almost fainted.
"Who are you?" Granny Zhang asked in fear.
Today is probably because she didn't check the almanac before going out; why is she so unlucky?
This man is dressed in all black; could he be an assassin?
But he had never offended any important figures, so why would they need to send assassins to kill him?
Wei Yue did not answer her question, but instead raised his hand and slapped Granny Zhang across the face.
Before Granny Zhang could react, she was hit on the right cheek again.
Wei Yue showed no sign of stopping. Granny Zhang was a blabbermouth; he'd slap her mouth raw today and see if she dared to curse again.
After being slapped several times, Granny Zhang finally reacted.
