Chapter 800
800 Afraid of losing
Coincidentally, after li Muyan had finished reading the letter in the study, Li Shan went to look for him.
He called ah Dong over and asked if he had given Gu Nian a pair of gloves made of Ice Silk the last time.
He had Ice Silk gloves of his own, but he had lost them after summer this year. His mother had spent a lot of money to buy them for him.
It was said that there were only a few of them in the entire great Zhou. He was worried that he had accidentally put them in when he gave Gu Nian something.
This was because he had given Gu Nian a lot of things.
Ah Dong said he didn’t have it. The gloves were at home and hadn’t been lost. Ah Chun had found it in the tool room last month. Li Muyan must have left it in the tool room when he was making something in the hot weather.
later on, the weather wasn’t hot anymore, so he didn’t go out to look for her.
After ah Dong left, Li Shan asked li Muyan, ” “Big brother, sister Nian has ice Silk gloves, but it’s not your pair. She doesn’t know who loosened them.”
Li Muyan laughed and said,”that’s right!” Don’t look at how smart niannian is, she can be confused sometimes!”
Li Shan opened her eyes wide and asked innocently, ” “Then, is big brother going to tell sister Nian that you didn’t give me these gloves?”
Li Muyan nodded. that’s true. I can’t lie to niannian.
Li Shan asked again,”brother, have you ever thought about who sent it?” sister nian is so good, she must be very popular. The ice Silk gloves were so expensive, and it wasn’t a gift from sister Nian’s family. Why would a normal friend give it to her? It’s been so long!”
Li Muyan was stunned as he looked at Li Shan suspiciously. Gu Nian’s words flashed across his mind. I don’t like Li Shan. It’s best if you don’t trust her when you make a decision.
li shan blinked and said,”i heard from second aunt that she spent a lot of money to buy you ice silk gloves last year. she even went to the capital to look for her connections in the palace!” There were only three pairs of gloves outside. Who gave sister Nian such an expensive gift without leaving their name? How generous! I also want to have such a generous friend who received such a precious gift. I don’t know who it is, but there’s no need to return the gift!”
Li Muyan glared at Li Shan and said,”Shan ‘er, don’t talk nonsense. Niannian isn’t that kind of person.” You have to be careful with your words in the future.”
“Oh.” Li Shan nodded obediently.
Li Shan wasn’t aggressive, and she didn’t go too far.
After sitting in li Muyan’s room for a while, she got up and left.
Li Muyan thought about it and went to ask Mrs. Li about the ice Silk gloves. Other than his family, which other two families had them?
gu nianshen also wanted to know who had given it to gu nian.
Lu Zheng’s face immediately appeared in his mind. In his opinion, Lu Zheng was old Zhou’s grandnephew, and old Zhou was Duke Zhenguo’s father-in-law. He should be able to get the credit for discovering the chili seeds.
Mrs. Li told li Muyan that the other two sets of gloves had been bought by buyers from Jiangnan.
Li Muyan returned to his study. He thought about it and still felt that something was wrong. Why would a buyer from Jiangnan come to the village at the crossroads?
Then who sent it?
In the end, he still decided that it was Lu Zheng. He guessed that old master Zhou might have bought it from Jiangnan.
his heart was burning with jealousy.
He didn’t know why the boy surnamed Zhou didn’t say it clearly, but he guessed that he felt that he wasn’t worthy of niannian.
He wasn’t old Zhou’s biological grandson, he was just a grandnephew.
He helped old master Zhou manage his business, went to the village to farm, and second uncle Gu took the imperial examination road. That boy surnamed Zhou must be ashamed of his inferiority and felt that he was not worthy of niannian.
After thinking about it for two days, li Muyan finally decided to give in to Zhou.’If you don’t want to tell me, then I’ll admit it.’ Hence, he told Gu Nian about the origin of the gloves. He only said that they were hard to find in the world, but he would work hard. He also told Gu Nian not to have too much hope.
he had a pair of gloves with him. however, in order to cover up his lie, he kept the gloves away and told the servant that he had given them to gu nian.
This was the first time he had done such a thing. He felt very uncomfortable, but he was afraid of losing her.
Since the other party didn’t dare to say it, why should he say it to help the other party?
