"Prefect Su is naturally not a fool. We don't need to tell him our guesses. Prefect Su can also make his own judgments." Gu Shangqing said, "If Prefect Su feels uncomfortable with this matter and vents his anger on me, it doesn't matter. There is still General Shang."
Li Mumu felt that General Shang was indeed a big victim.
"Even if he is angry now, it is better than knowing it after the matter becomes more and more serious. If he knows it at that time, he will probably vent his anger and retaliate."
"At least now, it should still be within the controllable range." Gu Shangqing said, "So I think I should go and make it clear with Prefect Su now."
"Your daughter does things inappropriately, and I am here to remind you now. If you don't care now, don't blame me for not telling you about this matter in the future." Gu Shangqing said.
"However, you must pay attention to the way and attitude of speaking, and you must not stand on the opposite side of Prefect Su like an enemy." Gu Shangqing said.
His choice was obviously different from Gu's mother's direct complaint to the capital.
Gu's mother wanted to fight to the death with Su Zhifu.
This would definitely be dangerous.
But Gu Shangqing chose a gentler, even weaker way to see Su Zhifu's reaction first.
"The reason why I wanted to know the time when the general and Miss Li went to the Su Mansion was that I wanted to pretend that I didn't know that they were there at that time." Gu Shangqing said.
Li Mumu understood what Gu Shangqing meant.
With General Li around, Su Zhifu didn't dare to get angry on the spot.
And with General Li's deterrence, Su Zhifu didn't dare to retaliate against Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu afterwards.
He had to think about General Li first.
Li Mumu nodded, "I know, if Miss Li writes, I will tell you the first time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Mian walked in, "Madam, Miss Li sent someone to deliver the letter."
No one expected that Li Zhiyin would act so quickly, which showed that he really took this matter to heart.
Li Zhiyin's attitude also made everyone feel relieved.
The General's Mansion was on their side.
Li Mumu took the letter from Gu Mian, opened it and read it, and handed it to Gu Shangqing, "I didn't expect Miss Li and the General to act so quickly. They will go to the Su Mansion tomorrow morning."
The letter also included a specific time.
After reading it, Gu Shangqing said, "Then I will go to the Su Mansion tomorrow, a little earlier than Miss Li and General Gu."
"Why a little earlier?" Gu Shangyong asked puzzled.
"If I go too late, Governor Su will be busy receiving General Li, and he won't see anyone." Gu Shangqing explained, "So it's useless for me to go."
"If I go earlier, General Li will come to visit suddenly. Even if Governor Su already has guests, he can't refuse General Li." Gu Shangqing said, "Especially since I'm not a very important guest, Governor Su will definitely not mind leaving me aside first."
"In this way, I have said what I want to say. Then General Li will come to talk about what happened today and warn Governor Su. Even if Governor Su is angry, he can't do anything to me." Gu Shangqing smiled, "Moreover, Miss Li wrote in the letter that they know Governor Su will be in the mansion tomorrow. So she and General Li are not going to send a visiting card to inform Governor Su in advance, but to go directly to warn him."
Sending a visiting card is too polite to Governor Su, and it can't serve as a warning.
It's better to go directly to the door and catch Governor Su off guard, and let Governor Su clearly know the anger of Li Zhiyin and General Li this time.
"Then do as you say." Gu's mother nodded, "Just be sensible in everything."
"I was worried that something might happen to my wife today, so I asked General Shang for leave tomorrow." Gu Shangqing said, "It's just right to go to the Su Mansion tomorrow."
Although it was a false alarm today, Li Mumu did go to the government office.
So Gu's mother specially asked the cook to buy chickens, ducks and fish, and asked Gu Mian to prepare a brazier.
"I didn't take care of it when you came back just now, but I have to make up for it now." Gu's mother said, putting the brazier outside the hall, "Come on, step over it and drive away all the bad luck."
In his previous life, Li Mumu was also a young man who chose to burn incense between being motivated and working.
Although it was an inevitable fate, he still tried his best to burn incense in the hope that his life would be smoother. He
even bought lottery tickets and knelt in front of the Buddha to scratch them.
Li Mumu still appreciates these traditional cultural customs.
So he happily stepped over the brazier, put his hands together and prayed to the sky, "Buddha bless me, everything will go smoothly in the future."
"Buddha bless me, bless me!" Gu's mother also put her hands together and closed her eyes.
Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping also prayed together.
"Mom, why don't we set up a place in our house to worship Buddha. We can worship him anytime." Wang Cuizhen said.
"That's great. Let's discuss it tomorrow and see where to put it." Mother Gu looked around, "Hey! You said that when we were in Yong'an Village, we lived in such a simple place. When we first moved to Anping Town, we felt that the house we rented in Anping Town was big and nice, and we were so happy." "
Later, we moved here. This house is much bigger than the one we rented in Anping Town." Mother Gu said, "When we moved in here, we thought the house here was bigger and it was so livable. The children not only have their own rooms, but also a study. Even Master Guan can move in and live with us. How great."
"Who knew that now we find that it is not enough." Mother Gu shook her head, "We have changed a lot too."
Li Mumu smiled and said, "Mom, this shows that our lives are getting better and better."
"Being dissatisfied is a common problem in life. Everyone has this problem." Li Mumu said, "Students hope that they can get into high school. High school students envy those who are ahead of them, thinking that they are not working hard enough or that they are unlucky, otherwise they should be one of the top three. Officials hope that they can become high-ranking officials, prime ministers, and second only to the emperor. Farmers hope that their own fields will produce more and better than others, and hope that their land will grow larger and larger. Businessmen hope that they can make more and more money."
"These seem to be dissatisfied, but if you think about it from another angle, it is also a driving force to urge yourself to make progress." Li Mumu said with a smile, "Dissatisfaction is not important. What matters is that the means to achieve the goal of these dissatisfactions are legitimate."
"Who doesn't want life to get better and better?" Li Mumu smiled and took Gu's mother's arm.
Gu's mother patted Li Mumu's hand, "I was thinking in the wrong way. I thought our lives were getting better and better, but I seemed to be getting more and more dissatisfied, as if I had forgotten my original intention. Now that you said it, it's a different picture."
