Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands-Chapter 722 - 675: Revealing the News (1)

Li Yuzhu brought Guoguo to her and Mu Yuanxiu’s bedroom.

Sure enough, Mu Yuanxiu’s expression was even worse than Li Yuzhu’s.

He stretched out his voice, "Guoguo!"

"Little Uncle." Guoguo ran forward, hugging Mu Yuanxiu’s leg, her voice sweet and soft, "Little Uncle treats Guoguo the best, doesn’t he?"

Mu Yuanxiu, "..." He twitched his mouth corner, snorted, "You little devil!"

Mu Yuanxiu pulled Guoguo off his leg and pressed her onto a small chair to sit.

"Yuanxiu, look at this, Guoguo got it from the Xue Family residence." Li Yuzhu handed the letters that Guoguo had brought back to Mu Yuanxiu.

Mu Yuanxiu glanced at Guoguo, opened a letter to read.

On their way here, Li Yuzhu had not read the letters.

She leaned over and read the contents together with Mu Yuanxiu.

All of these letters were written by Yu Wen Zan.

The content of the letters shocked Li Yuzhu, "Yu Wen Zan is just the legitimate second son of a Marquis Mansion, but he has such great ambition!"

The letter stated that Yu Wen Zan wanted to build a career, hoping for help from the Xue Family.

And Baili Huang from the Northern Land was his mortal enemy.

He didn’t want Baili Huang to ruin his plans.

Yu Wen Zan also told the Xue Family in the letter that he was a person who valued long-lasting affection, and in the future, when he became king, the Xue Family would certainly be queen.

"Yu Wen Zan is currently the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, fourth-rank, which is a considerable position." Mu Yuanxiu finished reading the letters, put them away into his sleeve.

Guoguo watched him, without objection.

Li Yuzhu wondered, "A fourth-rank Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue aiming for the Northern Land’s Liangzhou City? Why do I feel this logic is quite far-fetched? The Vice Minister of the Ministry in the Capital is a civil servant, while the Liangzhou Governor as Envoy, though being third-rank and higher by one grade, is a military officer at the border. Even if he were to become Envoy, could he manage it?"

Mu Yuanxiu said, "Indeed, it’s quite strange. It seems that we must immediately inform the Envoy; perhaps he understands the reasons behind it."

"Also, Little Aunt, Little Uncle." Guoguo looked at both of them, "I heard what Mrs. Baili and the Xue Family said, they want to harm you."

Li Yuzhu and Mu Yuanxiu turned to look at Guoguo.

"What did they say?" Li Yuzhu asked coldly.

Guoguo repeated what she heard word for word like a parrot, telling Li Yuzhu.

She spoke vividly, Li Yuzhu did not interrupt her, gradually her gaze became serious, "Yuanxiu, the Xue Family and First Madam, are going to use every means necessary?"

She merely returned Baili Rui and rescued Baili Huang and his wife, yet the Xue Family and Madam Baili bore grudges against her.

These two wanted the Baili Huang family dead, while she and Mu Yuanxiu disrupted their plan. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

She and Mu Yuanxiu became obstacles on their path to success.

"It seems we can’t remain uninvolved." Mu Yuanxiu’s gaze returned to the letters in his hand.

Li Yuzhu chuckled lightly, "We can’t do anything to Madam Baili based only on Guoguo’s words, however, if these letters reach the Baili Mansion, they will certainly be punished."

The two, along with Guoguo, went to see Second Madam Baili.

Because Baili Huang had gone to the practice grounds outside the city and was not in the city.

Today the weather was nice, Second Madam Baili was resting in her garden in her courtyard, watching the maidens turn the soil for the flowers.

Seeing Li Yuzhu and Mu Yuanxiu come with Guoguo, she smiled and said, "Guoguo, come, play over here."

She had always wanted to keep Guoguo, but had never had the courage to say it.

Guoguo let go of Li Yuzhu’s hand, smiling as she ran to Second Madam Baili, "Little Aunt and Little Uncle have important matters to discuss with Second Madam."

She was young, yet acted like a big child, speaking clearly.

Second Madam Baili enjoyed talking with Guoguo very much.

"Oh? What urgent matters?" Second Madam Baili took a few dried dates from a fruit plate beside her and stuffed them into Guoguo’s hand, "These have no pits, Guoguo can eat them safely."

Guoguo’s small hands almost couldn’t hold them anymore, she put the dates into her clothes pocket, only taking one small bite, "So sweet."

Second Madam Baili liked her even more, touched her small face, helped her sit on the couch next to her.

Li Yuzhu and Mu Yuanxiu stepped forward and greeted Second Madam Baili.

"It’s about the Envoy, he has gone to the government office for a while, so we came to find Madam." Li Yuzhu said, glancing at Mu Yuanxiu, "Yuanxiu?"

Mu Yuanxiu took out the letters from his sleeve and handed them to Second Madam Baili, "Madam, please take a look."

Second Madam Baili was bewildered, looked at them, took the envelope, and started reading.

She read the five letters in order according to their dates on the envelope.

She became more and more astonished as she read.

Second Madam Baili’s complexion slowly changed.

"Follow me." Second Madam Baili stood up, holding Guoguo’s hand, nodded towards Li Yuzhu and Mu Yuanxiu.

She led everyone into the room and dismissed the maid.

"These letters... where did they come from?" Second Madam Baili clutched the letters tightly, looked up at Li Yuzhu and Mu Yuanxiu.

"Guoguo was mischievous, secretly crawled under First Madam’s carriage, followed her to Madam Xue’s residence, nobody noticed her, she wandered around carelessly inside that house. She accidentally stumbled into a room and found these letters. Guoguo recognized a few words and said the letters included many ’Baili’, and then brought them to us to see. We found the matter was not simple and immediately came to find Madam." Li Yuzhu didn’t mention the relationship between the Xue Family and Guoguo.

The Xue Family was a thorn in Guoguo’s heart, Li Yuzhu avoided that aspect and made up an excuse.

Guoguo glanced at Li Yuzhu and pursed her lips.

"Was it Guoguo who brought them back?" Second Madam Baili hugged Guoguo tightly, "Is this child the blessing of our family? Saved Xiao Rui, brought back your little aunt as the divine doctor, and now brought back these important letters."

Li Yuzhu smiled slightly, "Madam, she’s just a child, merely a coincidence, Madam should quickly handle the matters on the letters, I and Yuanxiu don’t understand them and can’t help."

"No, you’ve helped a lot." Second Madam Baili clutched the letters, gratefully said, "You are the benefactors of my family."

The matter was urgent and serious, Li Yuzhu urged Second Madam Baili to make preparations quickly, since she couldn’t help, and she and Mu Yuanxiu left with Guoguo.

After they left, Second Madam Baili immediately sent a servant to the practice grounds outside the city to find Baili Huang.

Baili Huang had been sick for days and hadn’t handled many official duties; once going to the practice grounds, wouldn’t return to the city for a day or two.

The servant rode a fast horse outside the city to pass the message.

Second Madam Baili never held Baili Huang back, the matters in the mansion were mostly handled by Second Madam Baili herself.

Only when there was a very tricky matter did Second Madam Baili send someone to find Baili Huang.

Fully aware of his wife’s temperament, Baili Huang did not hesitate for a moment, immediately assigned the matters to his subordinates, and returned to the city overnight.
