Li Mumu smiled. As expected, she would be very happy when someone said nice things to her. Even saints could not avoid it.

  "Tell him that he doesn't need to bring my parents out, just follow them closely. If possible, check who sent my parents away." Li Mumu said, "Although I have some guesses, it's better to confirm it."

  "Yes." Yao Xingcai responded.

  "Also, please arrange for someone to go and bring that scholar here." Li Mumu said.

  "yes."

  Li Mumu didn't give any other instructions, so Yao Xingcai left first.

  As the saint's birthday approached, delegations from various countries arrived one after another.

  This time the Turks came to negotiate peace with a bigger scene than the last time.

  The western suburbs camp where Gu Shangqing was stationed and the eastern suburbs camp where General Heshang was stationed were both on high alert to protect the capital's safety and prevent any accidents from happening to the diplomatic envoys from various countries.

  Finally, the Turkic delegation also entered Beijing.

  Every time an embassy arrived in Beijing, the people of the capital would come out to watch the fun.

  Look at what these delegations brought this time.

  "I remember that ten years ago, when the saint celebrated his birthday, the scene was just as grand. A small country brought a golden statue of the saint, which was shining brightly."

  "Yes, some countries even donated a dance troupe to the country. I heard it's very good."

  "There was an embassy yesterday, and it seemed that there was a group of dancers in the team. They were dressed so...tsk tsk, their arms and waists were all exposed. It was immoral, so immoral!"

  "The last time the Turks came to negotiate peace, they left a princess here. I wonder what they will bring this time?"

  "If you ask me, the Turks are really not decent. We always said they were brave and good at fighting, and how terrible they were, like wolves and eagles. But what happened? They came to negotiate peace and even gave women as gifts. I really look down on them."

  "Yes, the men were defeated, and they wanted women to be used as tools to seek peace. How shameless!"

  Every time an envoy passed through the street, the people of Daxi who came to watch the excitement would always comment on it.

  Finally, the day arrived when the Turks came to Daxi.

  The Turkic team was longer and more spectacular than those of other countries.

  The only difference was that unlike the last time when the Third Princess rode in a sedan chair, they could only see the Third Princess's face through the gaps in the sedan chair curtains blown open by the wind.

  this time

  The sedan chair carried by the Turks was like a tent.

  Beneath him was a large square soft seat with a translucent white gauze curtain above it, like a window curtain.

  A woman wearing a veil sits in the middle.

  Although I can't see her complete face, she is a beauty at this cursory glance.

  Li Mumu also saw it, not only saw it, but also recognized it.

  Isn't this Su Zhier?

  The people watching the excitement below were talking about it.

  "Who is it that is being carried this time?"

  "Are you going to give it to the saint again?"

  "At this rate, how many beauties will the Turks have left to give away?"

  "Don't talk nonsense!" A Turkic soldier understood and said in a strange Daxi dialect, "This is our saint! We won't trade her for ten cities!"

  Li Mumu and others were watching from the third floor where Wangyou was having a rest.

  They also knew how Su Zhier became the Turkic saint.

  "Su Zhi'er, a good daughter of a prefect, gave up her job and gradually made herself what she is now." Guo Liyan shook her head. "It sounds nice to say that she is a Turkic saint, but she was also supported by the Turks. She has no freedom in the Turks. Her parents and family are gone, and she is far away from her homeland. She is just a puppet of the Turks."

  "When the Turks can use her, they respect her as a saint. When they don't need her, she becomes a prisoner. I just don't know how long she can keep making up those lies and how long she can deceive the Turks." Guo Liyan sighed.

  "I think Su Zhi'er is not unaware of her situation," Zhang Qihui said. "Look at her now. Isn't she just a puppet on strings? She is sitting on the sedan chair in a dignified manner, but she doesn't act dignified at all."

  "Yes, the Su Zhier we knew before was always arrogant. If she really felt proud of herself, she would never be like this now."

  "Mumu, the story that has been circulating in Beijing recently..." Madam Shang had also heard what the storyteller in the teahouse said.

  Others who are not familiar with her don't know about Li Mumu's affairs.

  But Madam Shang and the others knew how Li Mumu made her fortune, and they also knew about Su Zhier's entanglement with Gu Shangqing.

  So when I heard what the storyteller said, I could tell that the other party was talking about Li Mumu.

  "Have you asked the storyteller who instructed him to do this?" Li Zhiyin asked.

  Li Mumu smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'm really possessed by a female ghost?"

  "Is there a female ghost like you who doesn't harm people but helps them?" Li Zhiyin said with a smile, "I don't believe in ghosts and gods. Besides, we know you, and that's you alone."

  Li Zhiyin almost said directly that even if Li Mumu was really possessed by something, she didn't care.

  The person she has always been interacting with is the current Li Mumu.

  "If you really are like that, you would have sucked us away long ago. Why would you wait until now?" Madam Shang said with a smile, "Don't think about these nonsense. Just think about what to do about this matter."

  "The other party definitely wants to use storytelling to give more than just a hint," said Madam Shang, "there must be a back-up plan."

  "After all, people who are not familiar with you would never think it was you," said Mrs. Shang.

  Even though Li Mumu has a big business now and is a county lady, she is also very well-known.

  But whether it is ordinary people or customers who often dine in the restaurant, they are actually not very familiar with Li Mumu.

  If the other party wanted to spread the news widely through storytellers and make people guess that the woman possessed by the female ghost was Li Mumu, they were making a mistake.

  If this is the case, there must be other tricks.

  "The time when the storyteller started telling this story and when the Turkic delegation arrived was so close that it's hard not to suspect that this was not a coincidence," said Li Zhiyin.

  Li Mumu nodded. "I was just suspecting this and have already sent someone to investigate. If the other party really has a trick up their sleeve, we should be able to tell soon."

  "You'd better be careful, she might cause trouble during the saint's birthday." Although there is no evidence yet, everyone tacitly suspects that it is related to Su Zhier.

  Li Mumu nodded.

  The capital city today is even more lively than when the Turks came.

  After all, delegations from various countries have already arrived.

  You can see people wearing all kinds of clothes and with different looks walking around the streets.

  Some were eating snacks, and some were buying some pretty little gadgets.

  Five days before the saint's birthday, envoys from various countries had arrived.

  Everyone else was counting the days for the saint's birthday, thinking about how lively that day would be. Only Li Mumu was wondering when the other party was going to take action.

  On this day, Gu Wu, who was sent by Yao Xingcai, also came back.

  Yao Xingcai hurriedly brought Gu Wu to see Li Mumu.
