Chapter 476 "This is... a slave seal!"
Outside Ge Mansion.
Next to Ge Peining stood a white-haired old man in his seventies.
He is about the same height as Ge Peining, and was holding Ge Peining's hand, asking about her well-being.
"I heard from people that you came here with a man. Is it him?" The old man looked at Ge Peining and asked tentatively.
Ge Peining's cheeks were slightly red, and she seemed a little shy. She nodded gently and said,
"Well, my husband must have remembered something urgent. Grandma, don't be angry..."
"Xiao Ning, have you really..." The old man hesitated and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Ge Peining knew what Grandma Ge was going to ask, and without hesitation, she said in a firm tone,
"Grandma, my husband and I have worshipped heaven and earth, and he treats me very well."
"I know... Baicao mentioned it to me before." Grandma Ge's eyes flickered and she thought for a moment.
"Xiao Ning, why don't we go into the mansion first and let the servants wait here."
"Grandma, you go into the house first. My husband asked me to wait for a moment and he should be back soon." Ge Peining shook her head, her eyes fixed on the distance.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu was seen carrying a large box and walking out of the woods in the distance.
"Husband." Ge Peining hurriedly went up to him and looked at Li Mu with a worried look on her face.
She was a little scared, and Li Mu said he had to leave because of something.
Li Mu smiled awkwardly, thought about it, and then leaned over to Ge Peining's ear and whispered a few words.
When Ge Peining learned that Li Mu was going to prepare gifts, she felt both happy and amused.
He looked up at the big box, sniffed it, and frowned.
"My husband, don't you know what those herbs are?"
"Hmm..." Li Mu nodded awkwardly and whispered,
"I'll ask Mr. Ge to say a few good words for me later, saying that there are some rare medicinal herbs in it, which are very valuable."
"Pfft!"
Hearing this, Ge Peining couldn't help laughing.
Looking at Grandma Ge standing at the gate of the mansion, she finally reacted and hurriedly pulled Li Mu forward and introduced him.
"Grandma, this is what I told you about..."
"Li Mu, meet Grandma Ge!" Without waiting for Ge Peining to finish, Li Mu threw the box to his feet and saluted.
"I came here in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. These herbs are all my gifts to you. I hope Grandma Ge won't mind."
Ge Peining pursed her lips tightly and found Li Mu's serious look funny.
At the same time, I feel a little distressed.
Since when, the arrogance in Li Mu seemed to be increasingly hard to see.
It's more about humility and caution.
"Your Highness, you are too polite. Please come in." Grandma Ge nodded slightly, her tone neither salty nor bland.
But Li Mu was not dissatisfied with this attitude.
In the end, you are just stealing the cabbage from someone else's house.
Ge Peining looked at her grandmother strangely, thought for a moment, and then said,
"Grandma, my husband and I plan to go see mother first, and then..."
"There is no need to rush. It is not easy to meet the prince. Come and talk to me first."
Grandma Ge didn't even turn her head, but her tone was unquestionable.
She was the legitimate daughter of the Meng family, a family of scholars.
His ancestor had even served as a doctor, so he was superior to others in his bones.
Seeing that Ge Peining wanted to say more, Li Mu held her fair and tender little hand, squeezed it gently, and signaled her to listen to Grandma Ge.
Russian qing.
Grandma Ge was sitting at the first seat in the main hall. She looked at Li Mu and remained silent.
Li Mu instantly felt that this kind-looking old man seemed to have a serious opinion of him.
After a little thought, he took the initiative to speak.
"I have been traveling all over the place, so I just came today. I hope Granny Ge won't mind."
Grandma Ge nodded casually, then her eyes fixed and she said,
"I wonder what kind of status the prince is going to give Xiao Ning?"
"Huh?" Li Mu was stunned. He didn't expect Grandma Ge to be so direct. He was about to speak.
Ge Peining on the side spoke before Li Mu could.
"Grandma, let's talk about this later. I'm going to go see my mother with my husband first."
Having said that, he pulled Li Mu and walked out of the hall.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Ge shouted, "Wait!"
Then he looked at Li Mu with sharp eyes.
Li Mu patted Ge Peining's hand and turned to look at Grandma Ge.
"We two worshipped each other on the third floor, and the Confucian saints witnessed it. As for the status, Sister Ning'er is my wife."
"If I understand correctly, the prince is saying that Xiao Ning is the prince's consort of Prince Yan's mansion?"
Grandma Ge nodded pretentiously to confirm.
"Grandma!" Ge Peining's face changed and she said in a tender voice,
"Grandpa has already agreed to my relationship with my husband, so what is grandma doing now?"
Grandma Ge glared at Ge Peining unhappily, then ignored her and looked back at Li Mu, waiting for his reply.
Li Mu frowned slightly.
Because of Zhao Chuyi's identity, Li Mu has always chosen her as the Crown Prince's Consort.
What's more, he had promised Prince Yan that he would not care if she took concubines, but the selection of the Crown Prince's Consort would be decided by him.
The King of Yan treated him like his own son, and Li Mu had no intention of breaking his promise.
As a time traveler, his concept of three wives and four concubines is just seven daughters-in-law. Apart from his own preference, there is no difference.
After a slight hesitation, he was about to explain the reason when he heard Jun Jiuling's angry voice.
"Xiao Muzi, you are the son of a prince after all. It is an honor for such a declining noble family to send their daughter to your house. Why waste your words with her?"
"If you use any tricks, she will beg to send the women in the mansion to her. If you don't know how, I will teach you."
Hearing this voice, Li Mu's face darkened and he subconsciously said,
"you shut up!"
Immediately, Ge Peining and Grandma Ge's faces changed at the same time, not knowing who Li Mu was talking about.
Li Mu also realized that he had lost his composure and quickly apologized.
"I'm not saying you..."
"Xiao Muzi, what are you afraid of? No matter your status or strength, even though you are not good enough in front of me, why should you have to look at other people's faces?"
Jun Jiuling's tone was angry, and he wanted to come out and beat Li Mu up.
"You are my servant. You are not allowed to look at anyone else's face except me!"
"Husband!" Ge Peining also turned around, her face extremely serious.
"Don't explain. Ning'er knows that you care about her feelings, but what Ning'er wants to see is the husband who snatched her away in the auditorium."
"Husband, don't worry too much. Since Grandpa has already agreed, Ning'er won't care what others say. We will go see mother and leave now."
Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I understand. Grandma Ge is doing this for your own good..."
"Isn't my husband good to Ning'er?" Ge Peining interrupted Li Mu before he could finish.
"Since it's all for Ning'er's good, then it's Grandma's fault for making things difficult for my husband today."
"We will ignore it. Grandpa will tell her why her husband should be so tolerant and why should he suffer?"
Ge Peining's righteous words took Li Mu a long time to come back to his senses.
In Ge Peining's opinion, she naturally knew that her grandmother did it for her own good, but such things could be discussed in private.
It was wrong to embarrass her husband in public.
In particular, she discovered that Li Mu was always cautious in what he said and did in recent days. He was not at all like the Li Mu she used to know, as if he was afraid of something.
Of course, there was another reason she didn't say. Grandma Ge was treating people differently. The reason for such a sudden change was that her sound-illusion body was under control and her strength improved by leaps and bounds, which gave rise to different thoughts.
Thinking of this, Ge Peining hugged Li Mu tightly and said distressedly, "Don't worry, my husband. Ning'er will definitely find a way to cure you. If it doesn't work, we will go find that person. The worst that can happen is death."
"I wanted to say this before. Since you know who has the complete Azure Lotus Transformation Art, just go find him."
At the same time, Jun Jiuling's voice also sounded in Li Mu's mind.
At this moment, Li Mu's eyes were dull, and he kept repeating one sentence in his mind, "The worst that can happen is death!"
"Yes, I am a reckless man, why...why..."
Suddenly, Li Mu felt a sharp pain in his head, as if his soul was being torn apart.
The pain was far more severe than before.
Li Mu held his head with both hands and let out a low growl like a wild beast.
At this moment, Jun Jiuling's astonished voice rang in his ears, "This is... a slave seal!"
