Chapter 470 Doubts Growing

The old lady felt a headache, how did this so-called second daughter-in-law get the news and why did she pop up so quickly?

But to her relief, there were no problems on her eldest daughter-in-law's side instead, which was a real relief.

As long as the eldest daughter-in-law doesn't make a scene, this matter is not that difficult.

After all, her son hadn't done anything to the Gan family's daughter, they hadn't consummated their marriage, they hadn't caved in, they hadn't ruined the girl's innocence, so there was room for détente.

If it was to escape after the cave-in, that would be the real big problem, and I don't think the Gan family would take it lying down.

This is not a difficult situation to deal with now, just do what you thought before, and the big deal of paying more money afterward is pretty much the same.

Thinking of this, the old lady said, "Ximao, take your friend to stay inside my courtyard for a while; no matter how bad my son is, he doesn't need to be lectured by others."

The old lady gave the word, no one dared to say anything else, Qian Fuzi turned around and left, Li Mu and the others followed and slipped away together with their asses.

Gan Lu heart this hate na, gave birth to a force of ruthlessness, must publicly expose this conspiracy can not.

This girl is also fed up, you obediently go home is not all right, as for whether there is no conspiracy off your ass ah!

People don't, once they are scolded and beaten, they can't get rid of the bad anger in their heart.

Secondly, I was really curious, so I wanted to know what was going on.

After making up her mind, Gan Lu floated over to the old lady's side and plopped down on her knees.

"Mother, Ximao left without saying goodbye before his wedding, and I heard that he did something wrong in a moment of anger when he returned.

I know I'm wrong, so forgive me, and please don't chuck me out!"

Said the man, whimpering in pain.

The old lady was at her wits' end again, the second daughter-in-law admitted her fault in public, and her own lackluster son was indeed at fault in the first place, so she really couldn't be too protective of her shortcomings.

There was no other way but to reluctantly say, "Xiaolu ah, if you don't want to go back, just stay!

However, you and Ximao's marriage can't be rushed, he's been stubborn since he was a child, and can't be pulled back by ten oxen if he's sure of something.

I'll persuade him when I have the chance later, and you should be prepared for this matter to take its time, there's no rush!"

The old lady employed a natural and well-thought-out stalling scheme.

When the investigation clears up the cause of the eldest son's death, these counterfeiters will take their money and go away. If you're not afraid of being widowed, then just keep waiting.

She didn't think that this move was invariably considered to be a revenge for her son.

Gan Lu didn't think about it that much and agreed with full happiness, and a storm died down.

Li Mu and the others returned to their room, Lin Wan gently stroked his face and said heartbreakingly, "Why hasn't the swelling gone down, does it hurt?"

Li Mu comforted her, "It doesn't hurt, she hit me a little, Old Qian and I beat up their master and servant, this field husband has already recovered."

Shen Zixing laughed, "I knew big brother wouldn't suffer, that ugly monster was knocked out by big brother."

"That's right, dare to beat up Laozi, really tired of living, if it wasn't for the special circumstances, I'd have to get her killed."

Shen Meier hurriedly said, "Big brother, I'll pay special attention to it, the Su family doesn't have guns, so we might as well just do it, how much more trouble-free it would be."

Li Mu listened with some trepidation, his eyes twinkling inside.

"You've seen to it that they don't have modern weapons?"

"Definitely not, only swords and guns, not a single modern weapon."

"Then what is the old man pretending to be a grandson, pulling the lever and the flag!

Violet Star, Hades, get ready to bring the blindfold!"

"Brother, you watch!"

The three men jumped at the chance, looking at their expressions like they weren't joking.

Lin Wan was annoyed, "You three bandits be honest with me, do you want to kill and set fire again, with me here, absolutely not!"

When the Empress stated that she was not allowed, Shen Zixing immediately lost power and obediently sat to the side.

Li Mu, however, was unwilling and said excitedly, "We are all good people, we can't be bandits, but we can do it in secret... Hei'er, can you knock the stuffing stick?"

"Will, I'll pretend to be cute, big brother is in charge of the underhandedness, big brother, let's both go get rich, don't pretend to be a grandson here."

Shen Zixing covered her sister's mouth and reminded her in a small voice, "Idiot, how dare you talk nonsense!"

It was only then that Shen Meier reacted and spat out her tongue, hurriedly pretending to be a lady and sitting beside the Empress without saying a word.

Lin Wan scolded her husband, "You still think that the two of them do not look like bandits, I forbid you to do so, always walk by the river, where there are not wet shoes, bad things to do more, will be retribution."

Li Mu coyly promised and turned to Shen Meier, ''You were wrong in that sentence just now, big brother didn't pretend to be a grandson, big brother is at most pretending to be a son.

In addition, the matter of knocking the muffler, you need to ask your sister Star Moon for more advice, she is a connoisseur, muffler knocking for hundreds of years, and never misses."

Shen Xingyue raised her leg and kicked him, pouting, "Screw you, stay over there and stay away from my sister."

Li Mu and the others stayed in their rooms, and even when they went out, the whole family went out together, not giving others a chance to take advantage of the situation.

Qian Fu Zi and the others also stayed in their respective rooms, reducing their outings and trying not to deal with outsiders.

Reimu and the old lady met once.

The old lady inquired about what happened before, and Li Mu didn't hide it, recounting the beginning and end of the matter in detail.

After hearing this, the old lady wondered, ''This matter is a bit strange, how did my second daughter-in-law know the information.

She didn't come early, she didn't come to play, she came at just the right time, this is not a simple matter, someone must have tipped her off."

Li Mu said approvingly, ''Old lady, it's not that I'm flattering you, you really aren't confused, and you caught the crux of the problem at once.

This person who tipped us off is 80% aware of your plans and knows our whereabouts, and I'm almost certain he's someone on your side.

Think about it, who are the people who fit those two criteria?"

The old lady nodded her head thoughtfully and said, "I can probably guess who it is, well, I'll leave this matter to me, I'll find out exactly what his motives are?"

Li Mu said to her, ''Old lady, through this matter, I feel that your gaze is a bit paranoid.

You should not focus on your eldest daughter-in-law, but also think deeper.

For example, if your eldest daughter-in-law is brought down, who really profits."

The old lady obviously didn't get the memo, who's the real profiteer, isn't it just me, the old lady, who else could it be?

Li Mu saw through her mind and shook his head, "The mantis catches the cicada, the yellow sparrow is at the back, you may think that you are the beneficiary, but in fact, it is not true, perhaps you are also someone's pawn."

"Why do you say that, my lord?"

"I met with your eldest daughter-in-law, and she was very frank, though there was not much sadness in her countenance.

I can't judge on this that she's definitely not a suspect. At the very least, the cause of your oldest son's death is not as simple as you think.

Also, she doesn't reject Su Xi Mao and is even happy to see her brother-in-law, which is completely at odds with your defined persona and doesn't make any sense at all.

I'm just giving you a heads up, it's still your call on what to do.

In short, don't be taken advantage of, and in the end, let good people be wronged while at the same time being left in the lurch yourself."

The old lady expressed her gratitude.

When Li Mu was on his way out, the old lady again entrusted Li Mu with the opportunity to have Mrs. Qian test her eldest daughter-in-law to see if she could reveal any clues.

Li Mu knew that the old lady's opinion of her eldest daughter-in-law was deeply rooted and was unlikely to change her mind just because of his words.

And, it is true that the eldest daughter-in-law is the most suspected, and until there are new clues, she is still the first suspect.

He didn't reject the old lady's request, if this party was bent on avoiding the Su family, it would be a case of here and now.

Normal interactions are still needed, otherwise, wouldn't it prove that this party is weak-minded.

When Li Mu left, the old lady ordered her own brothers to be invited over.

She didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Cheng Xu, Sister is asking you, is it you who tipped off those people's whereabouts to Gan Lu?"

The old lady's maiden name was Han, and Han Sung-wook replied graciously, "It's me!"

The old lady was annoyed, "Cheng Xu, you're confused, how could you do that, aren't you adding to the chaos?"

Han Chengxu didn't see a hint of panic and responded, "Sister, I'm not confused, sister please think, if my plan succeeds and the Gan family takes the person away, what outcome occurs?"

The old lady pondered for a while and tried, "You want to use the Gan family's prestige to force Yun Wanling to hand over the secret realm?"

Han Chengxu nodded and said, ''When you go back, all I need to do is provoke, and the Gan family will definitely stand up for you and force Yun Wanling to hand over the secret realm.

Once the control of the secret realm is handed over to Master Qian, wouldn't it be the same as handing it over to us."

"Then what if the Gan family refuses to hand over the secret realm?"

"The Su Family's secret realm doesn't belong to the Gan Family, what reason do they have to hijack it, don't forget that the Su Family still lives here, do they dare to come and oust them?"

"And what if Mr. Qian got greedy?"

"Sister is confused, isn't his companion still in our hands?

Besides, his identity is fake. Isn't he afraid we'll expose him?

It's estimated that by that time, they'll do nothing more than take the opportunity to knock on the door and manage to ask us for some more favors, and this secret realm will be returned to us after all."

The old lady pondered for a long time before she nodded, "That's a good idea, but you should have discussed it with me beforehand."

Han Chengxu laughed, ''My old sister, you're not as good at acting as those people, I'm worried that you won't be able to calm down and show your face in front of outsiders.

After all, this matter has counted those people in as well, and once they find out the end of the story, there's a possibility that they'll stop and leave the Su family alone."

The old lady laughed, ''Your kid is Ghost Road, always so many ghost ideas.

Now that the plan has failed and messed with that little girl Gan Lu, look, what am I going to do with her?"

"Who said the plan failed, in my opinion it was very successful, I didn't expect Gan Lu to be so cooperative as to recognize the identity of the Su family's daughter-in-law.

Now that the little two are in our hands, old sister, do you still feel dissatisfied?"

The old lady's eyes came to life and she immediately asked, "What does the brother mean?"

"My silly sister, Gan Lu is the rightful daughter-in-law of the Su family, it's only right for this maternal family to help the aunt to claim the inheritance, what reason does Yun Wanling have not to hand over the secret realm.

Now that all the key players are in our hands, as long as Yun Wanling hands over the control of the secret realm, isn't it the same as giving it back to us?"
