Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands-Chapter 720 - 673 Coaxing Guoguo (1)

Li Yuzhu also said, "Guoguo, Xiao Rui’s father is very powerful, and Xiao Rui is also very smart. They will be fine."

But Guoguo still looked nervous, "No, the Xue Family will harm them. Yu Wen Zan told her to harm people; she will definitely harm people. Aunt, Uncle, Xiao Rui will be killed by them."

She shivered, repeatedly saying the Xue Family would harm people.

Her face was panic-stricken.

Li Yuzhu glanced at Guoguo, then looked at Mu Yuanxiu, "Yuanxiu?"

This child’s words were very strange today.

Mu Yuanxiu patted Guoguo’s head and said warmly, "Guoguo, with Uncle here, they will be fine. Yu Wen Zan, he will be torn apart by five horses!"

Guoguo suddenly looked up at Mu Yuanxiu, "Uncle?"

"The Xue Family... she will be poisoned by the Jiang Family." Mu Yuanxiu looked at Guoguo, his tone calm and gentle.

Guoguo looked at Mu Yuanxiu, her eyes full of astonishment.

Mu Yuanxiu smiled slightly, "Trust me, Guoguo."

Guoguo took a breath, "Okay... I trust Uncle."

She shrank back into the quilt.

Li Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, laid her flat to sleep, and tucked her in.

Holding her would make her cold, so Li Yuzhu simply let her sleep in her own quilt.

After all, she slept alone, and Mu Yuanxiu and she had always slept in separate beds.

Li Yuzhu also returned to her quilt, yawning, "Yuanxiu, Guoguo has calmed down, you should go to sleep too."

Mu Yuanxiu tidied their quilt, then went to sleep on the small bed outside the curtains.

Guoguo couldn’t sleep, curled up in Li Yuzhu’s embrace, eyes open, staring at the front of the bed lost in thought.

The candlelight in the room was blown out by Mu Yuanxiu, and she saw nothing, just staring straight into the darkness, thinking about Mu Yuanxiu’s words.

Yu Wen Zan was torn apart by five horses!

The Xue Family was poisoned by the Jiang Family!

But, who was the Jiang Family?

...

When Guoguo fell asleep, Li Yuzhu couldn’t sleep.

She always felt that the conversation between Guoguo and Mu Yuanxiu was too strange, she couldn’t understand.

Li Yuzhu turned over, gently got out of bed, withdrawing her arm from under Guoguo’s neck.

She walked outside the curtains to the side of Mu Yuanxiu’s small bed, "Yuanxiu?"

Mu Yuanxiu opened his eyes, pulled her to sit by the bed, and draped a cloak over her, "It’s not daylight yet, why aren’t you sleeping?"

Li Yuzhu pulled off the cloak and climbed onto the bed with a smile, "I want to lie in your quilt for a bit."

Mu Yuanxiu was taken aback, "Li Yuzhu!"

"Don’t worry, I won’t take advantage of you." Li Yuzhu lifted the quilt and slipped inside.

Mu Yuanxiu’s face darkened, who would take advantage of whom? "Don’t move around, lie still."

Mu Yuanxiu pressed against Li Yuzhu’s waist, afraid she would not behave.

The little girl had grown up, but it was still early for their wedding night.

Li Yuzhu was going to talk about serious matters, not really trying to take advantage of Mu Yuanxiu.

Mu Yuanxiu’s hand obediently pressed on her waist, while Li Yuzhu idly pinched his fingers, "You just told Guoguo that Yu Wen Zan would be torn apart by five horses. How did you know he would be torn apart like that in the future?"

"Just comforting Guoguo, did you take it seriously too?" Mu Yuanxiu laughed.

"And the thing about the Xue Family being poisoned by the Jiang Family, did you make that up too?" Li Yuzhu turned over and looked at Mu Yuanxiu.

"Hmm, I just said it casually."

Li Yuzhu laughed, "I thought too much, why didn’t I think that you were making it up?"

Right, to deal with a two-and-a-half-year-old child, isn’t it enough to just make up a story?

Getting the answer, the stone in Li Yuzhu’s heart finally settled, she yawned and closed her eyes.

Mu Yuanxiu frowned, "Aren’t you going back to sleep?"

Li Yuzhu drowsily opened her eyes again, she wanted to, but it was really cold going back and forth.

"Let me lie for a while." It was really like being urged to get up during a lazy morning, Li Yuzhu yawned again.

Mu Yuanxiu chuckled, "If you sleep any longer, you’ll fall asleep again."

"No... I’m not that sleepy yet." Li Yuzhu murmured.

Although the bed she slept in had a brazier underneath, and all the bedding was new, with two layers underneath and two layers covered, it still couldn’t compare to having a warm human heater beside her.

Mu Yuanxiu moved closer to her, and his hand wrapped tighter, "If you don’t leave soon..."

He breathed warm air on Li Yuzhu’s face, his voice hoarse.

Li Yuzhu suddenly opened her eyes wide, stiffened her body, "Mu Yuanxiu—" she gritted her teeth.

"If you don’t leave, I won’t be able to resist." Mu Yuanxiu buried his head in her shoulder.

Li Yuzhu was so scared she felt cold all over, pushed him away and quickly slipped off the bed, running back to her own bed.

How did she forget, this guy was already seventeen!

Everything that should’ve matured had matured!

But she wasn’t of age yet!

Lying back in the quilt, Li Yuzhu’s heart was still pounding, almost playing with fire! 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

On the small bed over there, Mu Yuanxiu couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Watch it next time!"

.

After more than half a month of recuperation, Baili Rui’s parents’ illness completely healed.

The Lantern Festival had passed, Baili Huang went to the government office to begin his duties.

He had been sick for many days, and had to personally review various affairs, so as to keep everything clear.

The eldest son of the main family, fifteen-year-old Baili Hui, accompanied Baili Huang in and out of the government office daily, acting as Baili Huang’s good assistant.

So young, he was already a thousand-man assistant coach.

Baili Huang’s brother, Baili Dalang Baili Ju, was quite satisfied with his eldest son’s performance.

He smiled and told his wife Madam Baili, "With Hui’er following his second uncle, he will certainly achieve something in the future."

Madam Baili sneered, "If you’re an Envoy, then he’ll be an Envoy in the future, let alone a small instructor? Still an assistant?"

Baili Ju hurriedly waved his hands, "Wife, you shouldn’t say that anymore. How am I suitable to be an Envoy? I get a headache just looking at official documents. I can’t wield a knife or spear and can’t guard the city gates."

Madam Baili rolled her eyes at him, you can’t, but your son can?

Yet her husband was mud that couldn’t be shaped, which made Madam Baili very disdainful.

.

On the seventeenth, the weather was clear, the wind and snow had stopped.

Li Yuzhu planned to take Guoguo out of the mansion for a walk, to the market to buy some items.

They had been in Liangzhou City for almost a month, Baili Rui’s parents were no longer sick, and it was time for them to go home.

Li Yuzhu changed into her outer clothes and went outside to find Guoguo.

Zhou Zhaodi came and said, "Guoguo and Young Master Rui went to play in the garden."

Li Yuzhu smiled and said, "Then take Xiao Rui with us too."

"I’ll go find them." Zhou Zhaodi headed towards the garden of the Baili Family.

But in fact, Guoguo was not in the garden; she had quietly climbed into Mrs. Baili’s carriage, hiding under the floorboard.

Mrs. Baili rode the carriage and left the Baili Mansion, heading to the Xue Family’s residence.

Today’s weather was clear, and the gate of the Xue Family’s residence was wide open.

Mrs. Baili got off the carriage, and the guards led her inside.

As the coachman was adjusting the horse’s bridle, Guoguo crawled out from under the floorboard and quietly ran into the residence through the open gate.

She was small, running along the walls, unnoticed by anyone.
