The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2649: Chapter 133: Leru Meets Ms.Wang

The next day, just as Li Luru got up, Nanny Yang came over.

When they reached the front courtyard, sure enough, an old man with a black headscarf was sitting off to the side.

His face was so dark it practically shone; if you didn’t know better, you’d think he’d just come out from behind the stove.

"Well?" Yang Aoshuang got nervous when she saw he hadn’t said a word the whole time and hurriedly asked.

Not being able to speak counted as a disability, and more importantly, it made everyday life inconvenient.

The old man still didn’t open his mouth for a while. After checking a few more times he finally said, "This old man’s medical skills are shallow and powerless. The young lady’s tongue’s veins have been injured, so they can’t perceive external stimulus, which is why she can’t speak. But I’ve heard the head of the Mu Family has a truly exquisite acupuncture method. Let him have a look—if he can give her a few needles, it shouldn’t be a big problem."

"Ai..." Hearing this, Yang Aoshuang couldn’t help feeling disappointed.

After Third Young Master Li saw the doctor off, he said, "Even though our relationship with the Mu Family is distant, isn’t the Ye Family an old family friend of theirs? Mother, you don’t have to worry. The prince’s side will definitely make arrangements."

"That would be best."

That day was Third Young Master Li’s wedding. Because they were still in the mourning period, the banquet wasn’t held on a grand scale.

Ye Haoxuan of course came to deliver a wedding gift.

"Come with me!"

"?"

"To meet my grandmother on my mother’s side," Ye Haoxuan said with a smile. "My grandmother has come to Wangshui Town too."

"!" Li Luru was startled. Ye Haoxuan’s grandmother was nearly sixty, wasn’t she? To make such an elderly lady come all the way to Wangshui Town, she felt deeply guilty.

She couldn’t help shooting him a reproachful look.

Ye Haoxuan rubbed his nose. Hey, if his grandmother wanted to see her granddaughter-in-law, he couldn’t stop her, alright.

He’d originally planned to take this girl to Wangquan Town, but the moment his grandmother heard he was coming to Wangshui Town, she wanted to come see for herself.

He couldn’t win an argument against the old lady.

Li Luru walked a few steps, then saw he was still standing there stunned. Her brows furrowed, and she crooked her finger at him.

When Ye Haoxuan saw that gesture, he almost got so mad his nose went crooked. "Li Luru, you’re asking for trouble, huh, daring to hook your finger at me like that?"

"?" Li Luru slanted him a glance, her eyes clearly saying: Go ahead and try, who’s afraid of you!

"Just you wait. I’m remembering all of this," Ye Haoxuan thought darkly. Once he got her into his wolf’s den, he’d see how to deal with her.

Ms.Wang was staying at an inn in Wangshui Town. As soon as Li Luru entered the room, she saw an old lady with a head full of white hair, with only two silver hairpins in it.

She had kindly brows and benevolent eyes, and looked very spirited, like one of those long-lived elders who had just stepped out of a painting.

"Grandmother, this is Li Luru, the one I told you about."

From the moment she came in, Ms.Wang had been sizing her up from head to toe.

After a long moment, she nodded. "Child, come here. Just look at that little face, truly pretty."

"Here, this is from your grandmother." As she spoke, she slid a jade bracelet off her own wrist and added, "Just an ordinary little thing, keep it to play with."

Li Luru knew that a junior shouldn’t refuse a meeting gift from an elder, so she respectfully bowed to the old lady.

Seeing how straightforward she was, Ms.Wang was even more pleased. She liked this kind of crisp, unpretentious girl.

Then she recalled that Lele had said this child still couldn’t speak, and she couldn’t help feeling it was quite a pity.

She turned on Ye Haoxuan and said, "You ought to ask your Uncle Mu to examine her. Such a good girl, and because of you she can’t speak—what a waste."

"Grandmother, don’t worry about that. Once we’re back in the capital, I’ll go straight to Uncle Mu."

"That’s good!"

Ms.Wang seemed intent on testing her temperament, so she held onto her and chatted from midday till dusk. Seeing that she never showed the slightest impatience, Ms.Wang felt more satisfied.
