Chapter 765
765 Does he really believe it?
Cai Xiaolian came out with an egg and said,”isn’t that so?” We’re all thanks to niannian. Quickly sit down and eat! I’ll save some for Yanyu first.”
“Aunt Lian, who is Yanyu?” li Muyan asked.
she’s Jun Hao’s sister, ” Cai Xiaolian replied. she came to our house yesterday. She’s still resting.
After that, Cai Xiaolian took it to the kitchen and heated it in the pot.
Li Muyan prepared a set for Gu Nian. Gu Nian felt embarrassed as her parents and sisters stared at her. “I’ll do it myself, your hand is injured.”
As Gu Xin and Gu si ate, they watched the interaction between the two of them. They smiled as they ate a mouthful of porridge.
shut up! Gu Hui patted the two of them. eat well!
“Oh!” Gu Xin and Gu si giggled.
Then, he ate his food obediently.
Gu Nian could feel that the part above her neck had turned red. It was as red as a prawn that had been dipped in boiling water.
After the meal, the sisters moved around a little before fetching water to take a bath and change their clothes.
Li Muyan could only accompany Gu shouxin and Cai Xiaolian to chat.
He took the initiative to talk about what happened at home last night.
Last night, after Li Shan had dinner, she had gone to the temple to chat with eldest Madam li. In the end, eldest Madam li had thought that Li Shan should not have been close to her, Duke Rong, and his wife.
She tried to persuade Mrs. Li to stop trying to frame Mrs. Li, but Mrs. Li scolded her and even forbade her from contacting Mrs. Li. Li Shan was unwilling to do so, and Mrs. Li went crazy, saying that she was the one who gave Li Shan her life, and that she had to take it back if she didn’t want to.
Coincidentally, Duke Rong was taking Zhang Chen for a walk after eating too much. They passed by the temple Hall and heard the commotion inside, so they went in to save Li Shan.
Later, the magistrate personally brought the coroner and the Yamen runners over. The coroner examined the cause of death. The palm strike was not enough to kill her. Eldest Madam li had died of an old illness.
When Gu shouxin heard this, the corners of his mouth curved up and he said, ” “Mu Yan, you also believe in coroners?”
Li Muyan nodded and said,”that’s right!” How could my grandfather have ordered someone to kill first aunt? Grandmother also said that eldest aunt indeed has an old illness. In that kind of situation where anger attacks the heart, it is possible for the old illness to suddenly appear.”
Gu shouxin smiled and did not say anything more.
“Mu Yan, what about Li Shan?” Cai Xiaolian asked. She was frightened yesterday, is she feeling better?”
Li Muyan nodded and sighed.”Fourth sister is very uncomfortable, her eyes are swollen from crying. My grandmother’s heart ached for her. Eldest sister still stubbornly believed that uncle Zhang had deliberately killed eldest aunt. She was making trouble for her grandmother at home and wanted to split the family. To be honest, my uncle didn’t keep a son. Even if we split the family, he would only give them the dowry. Why?”
Cai Xiaolian was stunned. Li Shan was really amazing. In this situation, she was trying her best to fight for her own rights and interests. She no longer continued to bite Duke Rong.
Last night, Gu shouxin had told her that eldest Madam li had really died from that palm. As outsiders, they couldn’t go and sow discord between them! Therefore, she didn’t plan to say anything to Mrs. Li and Li Muyan.
Moreover, in Cai Xiaolian’s opinion, Madam li should be able to see that this was their choice, and there was no point in others saying more.
Madam li would probably treat her nieces well and compensate them.
Li Muyan didn’t sit for long before he was called back by ah Dong, saying that someone from his family had come and had something important to say.
After li Muyan left, the couple looked at each other. Cai Xiaolian couldn’t help but ask, ” “Father, do you think he really believes the coroner, or is he just faking it?”
