70: The Soldier King's Supernatural Wife, Three Babies in One Child

Three days later, the gossip that Li Mingxiu was Luo Yu reached Jing Shujie's ears.

She was so scared that she quickly told her husband Li Qingzhou.

Li Qingzhou didn't believe it at first, but Jing Shujie told him that everyone in the hospital knew about it.

He went around the hospital himself, but to his surprise, what happened was even more shocking than what Jing Shujie had heard, so he quickly ran back home.

Li Mingjue was drinking tea in the living room. He frowned when he saw his eldest son running in with a serious expression.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Li Qingzhou picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea before asking, "Dad, have you heard the rumors outside?"

Li Mingjue raised his eyebrows and looked at his eldest son, "What rumor?"

This topic was difficult for Li Qingzhou to talk about, but he had to say it.

"Dad, there are rumors outside that my second uncle is not my second uncle. It was Luo Yu who used the face-changing Gu to replace his face. The Luo Yu who was burned to death is my second uncle."

“Nonsense!”

Li Mingjue could not accept such absurd words at all and threw the enamel cup in his hand.

"The Face Changing Gu is just a legend. It is not credible. It is impossible for people to change their faces. Which bastard spread this rumor? He dared to slander my Li family. I will never forgive him!"

What bullshit, how could his second brother not be his second brother?

"Dad, don't be angry first."

Li Qingzhou felt that this incident was not as terrifying as another incident.

He picked up the cup and said, "There is another rumor. You have to promise me not to get angry or impulsive, and don't ask Second Uncle. Once we find out the truth, we will go and settle accounts with those people."

"If you have anything to say, just say it now. Why are you beating around the bush? What do you want to do?"

Li Mingjue paced around the room in annoyance. If the current Li Mingxiu was not his second brother, it would be a catastrophe.

Li Qingzhou looked awkward and hesitated for a long time before saying, "They said that my second uncle and Pei Huaijin in the hospital..."

He really couldn't say it, because if this matter was confirmed, his Li family would have no face to live in this imperial capital.

"Hurry up and tell me!"

Li Mingjue shouted angrily, waking up Qiao Erqin who was resting in the room, "What are you two arguing about?"

"It's okay, mom. Go to sleep and don't come out. Dad and I haven't finished talking yet."

Li Qingzhou ran over and comforted his mother.

I came to my father again and said, "Calm down first, otherwise, I'm afraid you can't bear it."

"I've seen all kinds of storms and waves, tell me now!"

Li Mingjue took a deep breath and stared at his son.

Li Qingzhou clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "They said that Second Uncle and Pei Huaijin, yes, it's Lord Rabbit!"

He spoke the last few words very quietly, but Li Mingjue still heard them.

At first, he didn't react, and it took him a while to understand what it meant.

His eyes widened with anger, he raised his hand, slapped his eldest son, and shouted angrily, "Nonsense!"

After being slapped hard, Li Qingzhou felt very aggrieved, "Dad, I didn't say that. It was spread from the hospital."

Qiao Erqin had been listening to the noise outside, and when he heard his son being beaten, he came out again.

Li Mingjue was filled with rage. Seeing her, he yelled again, "Get out of here!"

Qiao Erqin shuddered with fear, looked at her son with heartache, and went into the bedroom.

Li Mingjue's chest heaved violently. "Fuck that bastard! He dared to slander his family. Don't they want to live anymore?"

Li Qingzhou looked at him worriedly, "Dad, don't be angry yet. This is just a rumor. Let's go find our fourth brother to see if he knows. If he doesn't know, we must find a way to get them back to the south. We must not let him and the Mu family know."

Even if the second aunt is no longer around, this is a huge shame and humiliation for the Mu family. Once it gets out, the Li family and the Mu family will probably be separated forever.

Li Mingjue waved his hands without saying anything, and the forgotten things in his mind also rolled back.

He had indeed heard the servants talk about Luo Yu and Pei Huaijin before. Could it be that his second brother was really fake...

Li Mingjue didn't dare to think further.

"Let's go to the Leng family."

The Leng family is best at finding out information, and Leng Cunxin has worked with Pei Huaijin and Li Mingxiu for decades.

They must know about Li Mingxiu and Pei Huaijin.

When the two arrived, Leng Cunyi did not hide anything and told them directly that Pei Huaijin and Li Mingxiu had been together for twenty years.

Moreover, Wen Aimu, Lao Si Zhengyan and Lu Chaoyan also knew it.

Regarding the matter that Li Mingxiu is Luo Yu, Leng Cunyi asked the two to go find Lu Chaoyan.

Because he couldn't be sure whether this matter was true or not.

However, he also mentioned number nine, saying that he might be the real Li Mingxiu.

On the way out, the two men from the Li family felt their blood flowing backwards and their bodies were colder than the weather outside.

If the matter between Li Mingxiu and Pei Huaijin continues to spread, the ones who will be hurt the most are Si Zhengyan and the three children.

Especially for Si Zhengyan, this was a great humiliation for him.

The two men came to Lu Chaoyan's yard and waited for a long time before knocking on the door.

Qian Hongmin sent them into the living room of the central courtyard. Lu Chaoyan was accompanying her child to study a foreign language and noticed that the two men looked strange.

Guess they already knew those two rumors.

"Asagao, can we meet Nine?"

Li Mingjue spoke cautiously and in a flattering manner.

He was afraid that Lu Chaoyan would not be able to accept it and would abandon the child and divorce Si Zhengyan.

Lu Chaoyan did not answer, but waved to Du Yue and the others, indicating that they should start cooking.

Afterwards, Li Mingjue and Li Qingzhou were taken to the backyard.

The three children and Kang Kang communicated with No. 9 by writing on his palm on the kang in the tea room.

Although Number Nine cannot remember anything, all the knowledge he has learned is still there. During this time, the three children have been using their special powers to repair his injured brain.

His thinking became clearer and clearer, and he could chat with his four children by nodding and shaking his head, or making words like "yeah, ah, and oh" with his mouth.

After Li Mingjue entered, he picked up the three children, touched their heads guiltily, and then he had the courage to look at No. 9.

The burns on the body can be said to be accidental, but the ears, nose and cochlea were definitely man-made.

Who is so cruel to treat him like this?

Li Qingzhou was also furious, "Sister-in-law, can this be cured?"

Lu Chaoyan shook her head. "He can't be cured unless the coldness in his body is removed."

Li Mingjue held No. 9's hand, thinking that the rumors could not be stopped and would sooner or later reach Lu Chaoyan's ears, so he decided to let them be the ones to tell the story.

"Asagao, have you heard about the rumors outside?"

"I knew about Luo Yu and Pei Huaijin before the rumor came out. As for the fact that number nine is Li Mingxiu, I have witnesses here."

Lu Chaoyan stood up, supported No. 9, and took them to the room where Ruan Ting lived.

She said to Ruan Ting who was lying on the bed, "Brother Ruan, this is Commander Li Mingjue, and this is his son, Commander Li Qingzhou. They are my father-in-law's eldest brother and nephew."

Ruan Ting looked at Li Mingjue's face. He had met him several times before and did not have a deep impression of him. He believed that Lu Chaoyan would not lie to him.

"Chief Li, No. 9 is your brother. The one in the hospital is fake. Please seek justice for your brother."

Ruan Ting shouted out with sobs, causing Li Mingjue to stagger back a few steps.

Li Qingzhou quickly supported his father and looked at No. 9. He still couldn't believe that this would be the second uncle who was so glorious in his memory.

"Could you have made a mistake? Why did my second uncle become like this?"

"I'm not mistaken. When I was in the mental hospital, Uncle Li had not forgotten you. Although he couldn't speak, he could still draw. He taught me his unique painting skills, and I recognized him at first sight."

Ruan Ting was very excited and repeated what he said that day, forcing Li Mingjue to believe that the number nine in front of him was his second brother.

He picked up his fingerless hand, recalling his brother's elegant and angelic appearance, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Mother, I am so ashamed of you. I didn't take good care of my brother!"

Li Qingzhou was also extremely angry, "How could they do this to my second uncle?"

"Uncle, brother, now is not the time to be angry. Pei Huaijin, Gu Sui, Baili Hui, Lin Fangrou, and Luo Yu were the murderers who killed my mother-in-law and father-in-law."

Lu Chaoyan took out the words written by Lin Fangrou, "Lin Fangrou was not dead at the time. She told me all this in person."

Looking at the words on the paper, Li Mingjue covered his chest, feeling the pain as if he was being cut by a knife.

He hugged No. 9, who was covered in burn scars, and couldn't help sobbing, "Xiu'er, Big Brother will never let go of those who hurt you!"

Number Nine looked at the blurry person hugging him, feeling somewhat at a loss, yet inexplicably sad in his heart.

He raised his hand and patted Li Mingjue on the back to comfort him.

Li Mingjue was very surprised. He was very naughty when he was a child and often fought with others. After returning home, he would be punished by his father to kneel in the ancestral hall.

His younger brother liked to use this gesture to pat his back, comfort him, and then kneel with him.

This is undoubtedly his younger brother.

He calmed down and looked at Lu Chaoyan, "How are you going to take revenge? Count me in."

The Pei family and the Baili family had plotted against his Li family, so he would avenge his brothers and sisters even if he had to take off his military uniform.

"Li Mingxiu in the hospital, or should we call him Luo Yu, is involved in the matter that Si Zhengyan and the others are investigating. We cannot act rashly. If you don't come to me today, I will come to you. Please do me a favor."

Si Zhengyan didn't even send back a letter, so the matter must be very urgent and serious.

She had to ensure Mr. Mu's safety. Now the only way to be safe was to send him to Mu Zhiyou and let him live in the army.

But she couldn't step in to handle this matter, so she had to let Mu Zhiyou find a reason to take the person away.

"You tell me what you want me to do, and I'll cooperate with you."

Li Mingjue knew about Si Zhengyan's investigation into spies, but he didn't know that it was also related to Luo Yu.

"Let Mu Zhiyou take grandpa to live with her for a while. Don't be too deliberate. If someone in the dark sees it, it will inevitably alert the enemy."

"Then let Zhiyou and Qingyue get engaged, and use this as an excuse to take Mu Lao away. No one will suspect anything."

Li Mingjue felt depressed when talking about this. The two of them were obviously not young anymore, but they were urged to get married, but they just didn't want to.

Lu Chaoyan smiled and nodded, "Okay, that's a good idea."

"When we get back this afternoon, I'll ask your aunt to spread the word that she'll come and pick him up within three days at the latest."

After Li Mingjue finished speaking, he asked Mu Bangning, "Is the person who left with Zhou Zhongyun your mother-in-law?"

Now, Sheng Haonan walked out of Lu Chaoyan's yard in good health. Almost everyone in the imperial capital believed that Shu Wanning, who had been in the imperial capital for half a year, was the silly woman cured by Lu Chaoyan.

She was also the former heroine Mu Bangning.

"Haha, let's talk about this later. Let's talk about the Face Changing Gu."

Lu Chaoyan changed the subject, "Grandpa said that the Face Changing Gu cannot be separated too far, and that we live and die together, so, please ask uncle if there is a way to remove it."

"I'll take care of it."

Li Qingzhou suddenly said, "I was assigned to take people to the north, so I'll go to that village to ask. If anyone can remove the poison, I'll give it to my second uncle even if it's worth a fortune."

"In a place like that, there must be a way to subdue outsiders. Big brother, when you go there, you must pay attention to your safety."
