If the investigation really uncovers some bad intentions, it would be bad to get involved in some fights in other people's families and bring trouble upon yourself.

I didn't expect Gu Shangqing to think so too.

Gu Shangqing is a very sensible person.

When you encounter something you can help with, you won't just stand by and watch, but you will also be able to stop at the right time to avoid getting yourself into trouble.

She had been worrying for nothing just now.

Li Mumu sat in the carriage, and Gu Shangqing turned around and shouted to the two subordinates in the carriage behind him: "Keep going!"

The carriage continued to move forward.

There was an accident and everyone who was sleeping in the car woke up.

Wang Cuizhen couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mumu, since you helped to subdue the crazy horse, why don't you also find out why the horse went crazy? Shang Qing often comes into contact with horses in the army, so he should know a lot about horses, right?"

In Wang Cuizhen's impression, neither Li Mumu nor Gu Shangqing are the kind of people who would stand idly by when encountering problems.

Li Mumu said softly: "Chong'an is not a small city. As the largest city in the northwest, there are many dignitaries and local tyrants."

"I heard that the Longxi Li family, one of the seven great families of Daxi, is in Chong'an. And the Li family happens to be a family of military generals. The current general who assists the country is Li Huailin of the Longxi Li family, who guards the northwest. Speaking of which, my husband is also under the command of General Li."

"Just now I saw that the carriage of that family was very gorgeous, not the level that ordinary wealthy families can use." Li Mumu said, "And there were obviously other people in the carriage, but only one maid got off. At first I couldn't be sure of her identity, but judging from her dress, she must be a trusted maid by the master of the wealthy family, so I tentatively addressed her that, and she didn't deny it."

"And that nanny is well-spoken and calm in the face of difficulties. She can still handle things in an orderly manner after being frightened. How can such a calm and orderly attitude be cultivated in an ordinary family? Even if she is not from a famous family like the Li family, I am afraid she is not an ordinary prestigious family."

"Moreover, when the accident happened, the host still did not show up in the car, and only the nanny came out. It can be seen that this family is very rule-abiding." But these rules are not necessarily good or bad.

It's just that there are some rigid and dead rules in wealthy families that cannot be escaped.

"This kind of family has a large house and many secrets. Who would have thought that the horse would suddenly go crazy? Could it be that someone tampered with the horse to cause an accident because of their internal strife?"

"Although my husband is a sixth-rank general, in the eyes of those people, the sixth rank is not enough. To put it bluntly, our family is like an ant to them, and they can be crushed to death with a slight pinch." Li Mumu said, "We can't foolishly get involved in the fights of those people."

"Even though they just thanked us, if we really find out the reason why the horses went crazy, and it involves their family's private affairs, they won't thank us. We are afraid that if things go wrong, we will be implicated and become victims of their internal fighting."

Li Mumu shook her head and said, "We are an ordinary family with no power or influence. How can we get rid of them? We can only not get involved at the beginning."

"The coachman is in charge of looking after the horses on a daily basis, so he knows a lot about horses and will definitely be able to find out the problem." Li Mumu said.

After listening to Li Mumu's detailed explanation, Wang Cuizhen took a deep breath in fear, "There are so many things going on here."

Li Mumu said this not just to Wang Cuizhen, but to everyone.

The Gu family are all honest farmers. Although the people in Yong'an Village like to gossip, they are actually not very scheming. Any thoughts or ideas are written on their faces.

The people of the Gu family have never seen what it means to be deeply scheming or to be scheming.

They might have to live in Chong'an for a long time, so it's better to be careful.

Zhang Caiping took Li Mumu's words to heart and said, "We must be careful in Chong'an from now on and not be as foolish as before."

"The people of Anping Town are simple and honest, but Chong'an is an important place in the northwest after all, and there are all kinds of people here. When you go out, you really can't be as innocent as before." Li Mumu instructed.

"Third Madam is right." Master Guan spoke up at this time, "I also agree with what Third Madam did just now. We civilians should be more careful."

Master Guan paused and said to Gu Baiyuan and Gu Baijin, "In the future, if you don't understand something and can't ask me, then ask your Third Aunt. Especially in the future, you will pass the imperial examination and become an official. In the officialdom, there will be more such things."

"Okay." Gu Baiyuan and Gu Baijin nodded obediently.

"But, Mumu, how do you know Chong'an so well?" Mother Gu couldn't help but asked in surprise, "You are here for the first time just like us."

"It's precisely because it's my first time here, how can I not know anything about this place?" Li Mumu said with a smile, "I went to ask Boss Zhao about it."

He also often travels to Chong'an, and he must know more about the things here than we do.

"Before coming, we should have some understanding, so as to avoid offending others without knowing the reason. Not only will we suffer losses, but it will also affect our husbands." Li Mumu said.

Hearing that if they were not careful, it might affect Gu Shangqing, he immediately became more alert.

Mother Gu looked nervous and said seriously, "Now that we are in Chong'an, we must be careful and cautious when we go out. Be careful with what you say and do."

"I understand, Mom." Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping said in unison.

"You two go back and tell Shang Yong and Shang Wei what Mu Mu just said, so that they can also know how powerful you are." Mother Gu instructed.

"Okay." Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping agreed.

Gu Shangqing's carriage passed by the gorgeous carriage in front.

The horse was still lying on the road. The coachman seemed to have finished checking it and was standing by the roadside, waiting for their carriage to pass before coming to the nanny.

"Mammy, I found this on the horse's hoof." The driver showed Mammy a thin needle in his hand.

"Why didn't you check carefully before leaving?" asked the nanny.

"I checked it, and there was no problem at the time," the driver said. "At the beginning, the needle was only shallowly nailed into the horse's hoof, so the horse was fine at first. But as the horse ran more, the needle gradually went deeper, and the horse couldn't stand the pain, so it went crazy."

"Have you checked it carefully this time? Is there anything else that has been tampered with?" the nanny asked again.

"I just checked carefully, and this is the only place." The driver whispered.
