Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 558: The Republic of China, the Marshal's Gentle Cousin 27

"Is this something that can be put at ease just by letting him rest assured?"

The eldest lady felt that even the fact that she had just learned that the jerk named Sun had assassinated her son was not as worrying as discovering that a bunch of jerk were plotting against their family.

That's right, even if the eldest lady didn't understand strategy, she knew how inappropriate it was to go out while her son was injured.

But her own unruly son acted as if everything was under control, which made her scalp tingle.

Miaomiao considerately opened the door and prepared to leave the room to give the mother and son a chance to tell their secret.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Mu Yuanzhao after taking two steps. Instead, he asked Adjutant Qian to close the door and go guard the door outside.

"Aunt, you don't have to leave. Since I can rely on you even when I'm injured, then I have absolute trust in you."

Mu Yuanzhao looked at Miaomiao, who was feeling a little uncomfortable, and spoke gently.

Then he coughed lightly and looked at his mother.

"Mother, you only know one side of the story.

Have you ever heard of Wanwan Leiqing? The Liao family's old man loved seeing couples, but he himself was always alone because his wife died very young.

But he is not without concubines. Just like my country bumpkin father, all his children are born to his first wife.

Last year, the old man met Governor Li's youngest daughter at a banquet...

She was three-quarters like Mr. Liao's first wife, but she was fifty years younger than him.

Governor Li's youngest daughter originally did not want to get married, but she married because Governor Li threatened her biological mother.

Now Mr. Liao’s youngest son is already one month old…”

Mu Yuanzhao told some seemingly plausible gossip about the old man, but Miaomiao and the eldest lady didn't quite understand it.

I just think that this old man is still so romantic at his age, he is really a talent.

"so what?"

The eldest lady frowned.

"Don't be anxious, mother and aunt, just listen to me slowly.

Governor Li's original surname was not Li, but Zhang Yuandong. Because he came from a poor family but was extremely talented, he was sponsored by the Li family in Licheng and was able to complete his studies despite his poor family background.

After that, he worked for the Li family and met Li Tian, the eldest daughter of the Li family.

Li Tian felt a liking for him because she saw that he was ambitious despite being poor.

In order to change his fate, Zhang Yuandong also pursued Li Tian passionately. After a few interactions, the two fell in love and got married.

As a result, Zhang Yuandong married into the Li family, changed his surname to Li, and became Li Yuandong.

In the early days, Governor Li was extremely considerate and caring towards Li Tian.

Li Tian also happily took care of the household for him and gave birth to two sons and a daughter.

The family seems happy and harmonious, and everyone else envies them.

However, the peaceful days were completely broken ten years ago.

Mrs. Li accidentally discovered that her husband had seven or eight illegitimate children outside, and that all the money the Li family had invested in these years had been squandered by him.

Either they are used to expand armaments or to indulge in wine and women.

Mrs. Li, who learned the truth, was imprisoned by Governor Li before she could do anything. He was worried that if his behavior was widely publicized, it would affect his image in front of his subordinates and his authority.

So he not only imprisoned Mrs. Li, but also directly found all the elite soldiers and generals of the Li family to make an example of them.

What's even more terrifying is that his eldest son, who was fighting the enemy outside, was killed directly in the battle with Marshal Wang's army. He angrily claimed that Marshal Wang had killed his own son.

Internally, he could use this method to show that his family had devoted their lives to the people of Licheng and would not stop until their death. Even his wife was depressed because of this.

From then on, whenever there was an event that required socializing, Governor Li would directly bring Mrs. Li’s cousin with him.

Mrs. Li's cousin had been promoted to the second wife as early as after Governor Li was discovered.

It can be seen that both Li Yue'e and her brother had a miserable life under Governor Li.

Governor Li thought he had his daughter under control, but in fact Li Yue'e hated him to the core because she was forced to marry a man who was fifty years older than her.

Her original intention was to kill her father.

So, when Li Yue'e became successful in the Liao family with her looks, she found me.

Governor Li has always believed that Madam Li died in a fire two years ago, but in fact, she lives in South City and is protected by someone."

When Mu Yuanzhao said this, the two of them seemed to understand what was going on.

"What a beast in human clothing."

Miaomiao said softly, her personality is like this, if she was not afraid of being discovered that her personality is wrong, she would probably curse even more foully.

"To call him a beast is to flatter him. This is the kind of dog who eats when he picks up the bowl and curses when he puts it down.

I have always thought that compared to Marshal Wang, a short and fat man who only has brute force but is still lustful, although Governor Li is arbitrary and independent, he is at least still a human being.

I didn’t expect that I was wrong.”

The eldest lady's face turned red with anger and she kept fanning herself with her hands.

"For Governor Li, this trip to the Liao family means that the Liao family and he share the same hatred for the enemy.

He had some personal grudges with Marshal Wang, but since my aunt is still young, I won’t explain them one by one.

In short, his ambitions don't stop there. My injury wasn't enough to make him want to do anything, but Li Yue'e told him that the Liao family was ready to take this opportunity to pledge their allegiance to him, which was enough to make him want to do something."

Mu Yuanzhao said with a smile.

"So, what is he planning to do? Planning to kill Marshal Wang and our family?"

Miaomiao was dizzy after hearing this. Just the mentions of General Wang and General Li were enough to make her scalp tingle.

But the eldest lady had been dealing with them for many years and was able to figure it out.

"Well, that's about right, but he won't kill me by force. He'll probably frame me on Mr. Liao or Marshal Wang.

As for why Marshal Wang went even though he knew there might be problems, it was because of greed.

He was almost convinced that I was mortally wounded, and that he wanted to make some profit from it."

Mu Yuanzhao still had a lot to say, but there was no need to say it anymore.

The two cousins stared with their eyes wide open, looking confused.
