I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 783 The same kind of people.

Mr. Ge was stunned for a moment, and his eyelids drooped instantly.

"Boy, what do you mean!"

"Don't think too much, I'm just asking casually."

Li Mu stepped forward to support Ge Lao and walked into the house with him.

Old Ge looked at Li Mu suspiciously, then thought of the medicinal herbs he had never seen before. His face became kind again, and he asked tentatively,

"Qingyi, those medicinal herbs you mentioned..."

"I picked this while running around in that miasma for nearly half a month."

Li Mu spoke casually without blushing or getting nervous.

Sit down in the house.

Mr. Ge stared at Li Mu with burning eyes, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Seeing that Li Mu didn't say anything, Ge Lao didn't hide anything and spoke directly,

"Are you looking for me because of the Yin-Yang family?"

"Well, I don't know if Mr. Ge..."

"You got the wrong guy."

However, before Li Mu could finish, Ge Lao interrupted him and said,

"Now, Xiaoyu is in charge of the affairs of the medical family. If you have any questions, just go find her directly."

Hearing this, Li Mu's eyes lit up.

I was still thinking about how to bring the topic to Meng Siyu, but now it seems that I have saved myself a lot of trouble.

"Mr. Ge..."

Li Mu opened his mouth, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Ge Lao frowned, looking somewhat unhappy.

"what happened again?"

"Well, I'm not that familiar with my aunt. How about you...tell me about her?"

Li Mu smiled awkwardly and explained quickly,

"To please people, I should have a direction, right?"

"Especially if my aunt has any taboos, anything that cannot be mentioned, such as losing a child or something."

Ge Lao narrowed his eyes and looked Li Mu up and down.

"Boy, are you sure you want to continue beating around the bush with me?"

"As expected, I can't hide anything from you. I just want to know something about my aunt."

Li Mu swept his sleeves across the table, and a dozen herbs that he couldn't name were neatly placed on it.

There was even soil stuck to the rhizomes, making them look like they had just been picked.

Mr. Ge was stunned for a moment. After careful identification, he confirmed that they were all herbs he had never seen before, and his eyes instantly became hot.

Then, he looked at her suspiciously, and said meaningfully,

"Are you prepared, kid?"

"reason!"

"I plan to cooperate with my aunt, but I can't tell you the details."

“Is it okay to understand my partners?”

Li Mu spoke without hesitation, but his face looked businesslike.

"I think that with Mr. Ge's status, you won't deceive a junior like me."

"Oh, I was wrong in the past."

Mr. Ge laughed at himself and squinted his eyes.

"But it's better this way. Since you and Xiaoyu are the same kind of people, I feel more at ease."

"Just ask."

Old Ge leaned back slightly, looking very old, and his eyes occasionally glanced at the herbs on the table.

"I want to know my aunt's origins."

"Children of Jianghu, without a father or a mother, Xiaoyu never mentioned it, and I never asked."

"Does she have any relatives alive?"

"I don't know. I guess it's gone."

"Has she ever suffered any serious injuries to her hands?"

"I don't know, but the military doctors don't go to the battlefield. As for the injuries, how could you not know?"

Li Mu frowned. This Mr. Ge knew nothing about anything. Are you sure that is your daughter-in-law?

So, Li Mu got straight to the point.

"Auntie, do you only have Sister Ning'er as your daughter?"

"nature."

"The illegitimate daughter, or..."

"Boy, are you looking for death?"

Before Li Mu could finish speaking, Ge Lao slammed the table and glared at Li Mu.

"Husband."

Ge Peining beside him also gently tugged at Li Mu's sleeve. If Li Mu's words were to get out, Meng Siyu's reputation would be ruined.

The people of Xing Dynasty were open-minded, and divorce and remarriage were not considered a big deal.

However, there is zero tolerance for women committing adultery and men favoring concubines and ignoring their wives.

Once verified, it is almost always a capital crime.

As a result, many men in the Xing Dynasty had three wives and four concubines, but it was also not uncommon for men like Prime Minister Lu to have only one principal wife.

Ultimately, whether a husband can take a concubine depends entirely on the mood of his wife at home.

Men are responsible for external affairs while women are responsible for internal affairs. This is not just an empty saying in Xingchao.

Li Mu also knew that his question was a bit outrageous, and just as he was about to make up for it, he heard Ge Lao ask,

"Did you find anything, kid?"

"You've been acting weird since I came here today, but Xiaoyu..."

"Father-in-law?"

However, before Mr. Ge could finish his words, a pleasant female voice was heard outside the courtyard.

"My father-in-law is saying something bad about me. I heard it with my own ears."

Meng Siyu stepped into the room with a shy smile on her face.

"You can't say bad things about me in front of Qingyi, otherwise I will lose my dignity as an elder."

"mother."

Ge Peining quickly stood up and took Meng Siyu's arm.

"Grandpa said you were hello and that you were virtuous, right, Grandpa?"

Ge Peining pulled Meng Siyu to the table and wanted to sit next to her.

Unexpectedly, Meng Siyu pushed Ge Peining onto the stool to the right of Li Mu, and then sat on the left herself.

The mother and daughter, one on the left and one on the right, actually sandwiched Li Mu in the middle. The scene was really weird.

"Mr. Ge, it's getting late. I'll go back first."

Li Mu felt a little uneasy. He patted Ge Peining's hand under the table and prepared to leave.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I heard that you have the habit of having lunch at home. Why don't you stay and try my...cooking skills?"

Meng Siyu tilted her head to look at Li Mu, and the embroidered shoes under the table groped Li Mu's calves.

Li Mu stood up quickly and said,

"Don't bother me. I have things to do at home."

"Mother, how about next time? My husband just came back today, so he has to go back home first."

Ge Peining rolled her eyes at Li Mu and gently pinched Li Mu's waist with her small hand.

That's obviously saying,

Who told you to speak without restraint? Luckily your mother didn't hear it. Now you feel guilty.

She didn't think that Li Mu was deliberately slandering Meng Siyu. After all, no one knew Li Mu's mouth better than her.

"That's fine, I'll go with you."

Meng Siyu nodded, then looked at Li Mu.

"I still have something to discuss with you. I hope you won't be unwelcome to me."

Ha ha.

Li Mu smiled bitterly in his heart.

I parted with her in a hurry yesterday, and even tacitly agreed to temporarily hand over the leadership of the cooperation to her, which means I plan not to have any contact with her in the near future.

I never thought that I would be caught red-handed.

Mr. Ge watched the three people leave, but stood at the gate of the courtyard for a long time without returning to the house.

The frown on his forehead grew tighter and tighter.

He is not stupid, Li Mu's performance today has made it very clear.

Suspect Meng Siyu!

But Mr. Ge didn't know what Li Mu suspected.

After all, they have lived together for more than 30 years, and he claims to be very familiar with his daughter-in-law's character.

But Li Mu did remind him today that he seemed to have no idea about Meng Siyu's family background.

At the same time, he did recall some past events.

The reason why he and Ge Peining returned to Beijing early without getting married was because they received the news that Meng Siyu had died.

Perhaps it was this news that made Ge Peining decide to marry into the Wang family to seek revenge.

However, when he returned to the Ge Mansion, he learned that Meng Siyu's condition was very stable, and even her injuries had improved a lot.

Not only that, he even felt that Meng Siyu, who was in a coma, seemed a lot younger than she was three years ago.

He did have doubts at first. After all, as a doctor, he knew clearly that the dead could not be resurrected.

I also don't think that the doctor who was taking care of Meng Siyu couldn't even tell whether the person was dead or alive.

Unfortunately, before he had the chance to verify his guess, news came out that Ge Peining was going to marry into the Wang family.
