"However, although I have no hope of passing the imperial examination in this lifetime, I still hope that my son can pass the imperial examination." Uncle Hu said, "So I secretly teach my son to read at home."

  "When my son was reading in the courtyard, Li Mumu was secretly listening outside the courtyard." Uncle Hu seemed to recall and smiled, "One day, I found her, and I also taught her to read and recognize characters."

  "However, I don't want anyone to know that I can read. The reason has been explained before." Uncle Hu said, "So I also told Li Mumu not to let the villagers know that I can read and write."

  "People in our village..." Uncle Hu laughed at himself, "To be honest, they are all gossipy. If they knew that I was studying and had not achieved anything at my age, they would definitely make up stories to make fun of me behind my back."

  "I just didn't expect that Li Mumu would keep her promise to this extent. She has always said to others that she was self-taught and didn't tell anyone about me. Even if she said she secretly listened to others studying, she only talked about my son." Uncle Hu said, "That's why people took the opportunity to frame her, saying that she was lying, and even wanted to frame her for being possessed by a female ghost or something."

  "If you were really framed successfully, wouldn't you be burned to death?" Uncle Hu looked at Su Zhier, "You are so young, yet you are so cruel and ruthless."

  Su Zhier said angrily: "Who knows whether what you said is true or false!"

  "Then you can test me." Uncle Hu said, "Although I didn't pass the exam, I won't forget the books I read."

  "Besides, Li Mumu's parents recognized me as soon as they saw me just now. I am from Yongning Village, so it is true, right?" Uncle Hu said, "You can also ask them. If you test my knowledge, I can answer it, so what I said is true."

  Uncle Hu looked at Su Zhier coldly, "I have actually been watching you for quite a while. You have been hiding yourself and wearing a veil. But I see that everyone knows who you are. Why are you still hiding?"

  "You are such a despicable person, yet you still have the nerve to blame Li Mumu for your despicable behavior?" Uncle Hu had a cold and sarcastic expression on his face.

  "That's right!" When the people around heard Uncle Hu's words, they all thought it made a lot of sense!

  Li Mumu didn't expect that Uncle Hu had such great eloquence. He was indeed a man who had studied all his life.

  Although I failed to pass the imperial examination, I still have a lot of knowledge.

  Quite a bit.

  The original owner did not learn to read and write with Uncle Hu.

  When Li Mumu first married into the Gu family, she gave the excuse that she had some knowledge by saying that she had secretly listened to a scholar in the village reading at home and taught herself to read.

  This was of course the excuse she made for herself to learn to read.

  However, Li Mumu was not making things up.

  Because there was a brief mention in the original book, there was indeed a family of scholars in Yongning Village.

  It was Uncle Hu and his son.

  Just as Uncle Hu said, because he did not achieve anything in his studies and did not want to become a topic of conversation among the villagers, he kept the fact that he could read and write a secret in the village.

  Even when he taught his son to read, he did it secretly.

  The villagers didn't know, including the original owner Li Mumu.

  It's just that Li Mumu had read the original novel and remembered this short paragraph, so she used it as an excuse to learn to read.

  When she had some free time a while ago, she asked Gu Wu to find Uncle Hu.

  She did not ask Uncle Hu to lie, but asked Gu Wu to tell Uncle Hu that when she was young, she had secretly listened to Uncle Hu's son reading outside the wall of his house.

  If anyone ever brings up her past and asks about it, Uncle Hu will at least know about it.

  Lies will always be exposed.

  But if she told Uncle Hu something he didn't know, then Uncle Hu would not be lying.

  But she didn't expect that Uncle Hu would lie for her, and his lies were so convincing.

  "What?" Su Zhi'er didn't believe it. She stared at Mr. and Mrs. Li, "Didn't you say before that there were no scholars in your village?"

  "Yes." Mother Li stared and said nonchalantly, "Didn't you hear what Uncle Hu said? He read the book secretly and hid it from us. No one in the village knew about it. I didn't lie to you."

  Su Zhier: "..."

  "This is just a farce!" Gu Shangqing said coldly, "You are a fake saint, so what you said is naturally fake."

  "It's just that the story told by the storyteller in the teahouse was really outrageous. In order to prevent you from deliberately leading the people to associate the story with my wife, I did not expose it immediately and allowed you to make trouble at my doorstep." Gu Shangqing explained why he knew she was Su Zhier, but still cooperated with the play and let them make trouble at his doorstep.

  "Now that everything you said has been exposed one by one, it proves that you have been obstructing and framing my wife." Gu Shangqing said coldly, "Your Highness, Second Prince, what exactly does Tujue mean by this?"

  "They found a prisoner from Daxi to pretend to be the Turkic saint and came to frame the Lord of Daxi County." Gu Shangqing said in a cold voice.

  The Second Prince saw that the situation was suddenly unfavorable to him, and hurriedly said, "General Gu, we were also deceived by Su Zhier's words and were fooled."

  "No, are you Turks so easily fooled?" The people watching on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

  The plan failed and was exposed. They didn't even know what was going on, and they were also deceived by Su Zhier.

  "That's right. If the Turks were so easily deceived, they would have been destroyed long ago. Why did they wait until now to negotiate peace with us, Daxi?"

  When the second prince heard the people's discussions, his face turned dark.

  The reason why they agreed to Su Zhier's proposal this time was because of Li Mumu.

  Use Li Mumu's accident to stimulate Gu Shangqing. Once Da Xi really believes that Li Mumu is possessed by a female ghost, he will execute Li Mumu.

  The most common practice in this situation was to burn Li Mumu alive.

  A simple execution would probably not hurt the core in her body.

  Only by burning them alive can the evil ghosts be condemned to eternal damnation.

  If Da Xi really decides to treat Li Mu Mu in this way, it will depend on how Gu Shang Qing feels about Li Mu Mu.

  Is he so deep that he is willing to go against Da Xi for Li Mumu, or is he obedient but still has a thorn in his heart?

  If it is the former, Daxi will lose a powerful general.

  If it was the latter, even if Gu Shangqing went to the battlefield, he might not be as loyal to Daxi as before.

  And the Turks have a backup plan.

  It means that he would do the same thing as he did last time when he took Su Zhier away and bring Li Mumu back to the Turks as well.

  Li Mumu must know a lot of food recipes.

  It would also be a good idea to ask her to develop some food suitable for them to carry during their Turkic expeditions.

  Maybe Li Mumu knows something else.

  Isn't it their turn as the Turks to take a step ahead of Daxi?

  Therefore, the Turkic people agreed to Su Zhier's proposal.
