835 Follow your heart
At the Li family’s house, Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian sent the man home. After understanding the whole story, they did not stay any longer and went home.
The Li family’s carriage sent them home, so it was not appropriate for the mother and daughter to talk in the carriage.
When they returned home, there was no one at home. The mother and daughter guessed that he had gone to third aunt Gu’s place.
Mrs. Li found out that the old woman from last night was working for her mother. She owed her a debt of gratitude, so she felt that her mother and son had caused her death. She wanted to take revenge. The day before the Lantern Festival, she found out that li Muyan was going to hold a lantern show at home, so she went to buy two kinds of medicine.
She was not crazy enough to drug everyone. She had only used the usual kind of medicine to make the girls sleep for a few hours. As for why Gu Nian was affected, it was because she had eaten a few things that li Muyan had roasted.
The roast meat was distributed by this old woman, and she had been waiting on her by the side.
She wanted li Muyan to cut his sleeves and share peaches with those young masters so that the servants could see it. Then, when the news spread, li Muyan would be completely destroyed.
As a mother, Mrs. Li would definitely be criticized by others.
If the other young masters ‘reputations were ruined, the Li family’s business managed by Madam li would have a big problem, because those young masters’ families had a lot of business dealings with the Li family.
Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian did not doubt the results. Gu Nian had indeed seen the old woman lead the poisoned li Muyan to look for Zhu Mingsheng.
As for the maidservants whose innocence had been destroyed, some of them were willing to follow the young master back home to be his concubines, but some were unwilling. They proposed that the Li family pay for their freedom and then give them a sum of silver.
The Li family was rich, so they could naturally do it.
The Li family’s hush money had cost them a month’s income from their store.
After entering the house and sitting down, Cai Xiaolian drank some water and asked, ” “Niannian, what do you mean by li Muyan?”
‘What he did last night made me feel like he was the right person. But today, his move of bearing Bramble and asking for punishment made me feel that he was ridiculous! But when I saw him faint and heard the doctor talk about his physical condition, I was very touched. Mother, I don’t know what to do!”
Gu Nian was really confused.
Last night, she had really thought that li Muyan was quite good. He had restrained himself in that kind of situation. Even if he didn’t ask her, he could have found someone else to cure the poison. However, he didn’t. She felt that it wouldn’t be bad to marry him.
And this morning’s apology made her feel that this person was too ridiculous. Her grandparents and father would not blame him, but he had probably lost more than half of her good feelings for him.
After sending him back and hearing the doctor talk about his health, Gu Nian suddenly felt that he was so silly. He was so silly to ruin himself for her!
She understood li Muyan’s thoughts, but she couldn’t agree with his act of asking for punishment.
That was why she was confused!
Cai Xiaolian sighed. niannian, let me ask you. If it wasn’t for what happened this morning, would you have thought that marrying li Muyan was a good idea? ”
Gu Nian nodded honestly.
Cai Xiaolian pursed her lips. think about it again. After you’ve confirmed it, the next time their family comes to talk about the marriage, your father and I won’t refuse.
“No, don’t.” Gu Nian shook her head. Mother, I haven’t thought it through yet. Let me think about it. He felt that something was missing. I don’t deny that I have feelings for him, but I’m really lacking something when it comes to marriage.”
“Alright,” Cai Xiaolian replied. Tell us if you’re sure. Father and mother will not interfere with you. Father and mother will support you. Even if one day you said that you had no feelings for him at all, if he wanted to make a fuss like the previous few, father and mother would stop you. We just hope that you two sisters can live happily and follow your hearts.”
