How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

Mo Li covered her red face with her hands and didn't dare to look at him directly. She was so embarrassed.

Xu Chengling brought a towel and asked Mo Li to wipe himself clean.

As a result, she just took the towel, her hand lost strength and the towel fell to the ground again.

Seeing this, Xu Chengling picked up the towel. Seeing that she couldn't wipe her body by herself, he couldn't help but sigh and decided to do it for her.

At this moment, Mo Li's pretty face was full of shyness, and she allowed Xu Chengling to manipulate her like a puppet.

After helping her wipe her body, Xu Chengling threw her a piece of clothing and asked her to change into it.

Mo Li looked at the clothes under his feet and showed a helpless expression.

Xu Chengling had no choice but to help her change her clothes, picked her up and put her back on the bed.

"Want something to eat?"

Xu Chengling asked her.

"Ah."

Mo Li thought about it and nodded slightly.

"Then wait for me for a while."

Xu Chengling left the room. Not long after, he came back with some fruit, peeled it, and put it into Mo Li's mouth to feed her.

Her body hasn't fully recovered yet, so it would be better for her to eat some fruit first.

After eating some fruit, Mo Li gradually regained some strength. She couldn't help but open her mouth and asked:

"Master, Uncle Gu, is he... okay?"

"He's fine."

"That's good, where are the thieves?"

"They were all dealt with by Tong Xin and Uncle Gu. They won't bother you again."

Xu Chengling replied in a deep voice.

After hearing the news, Mo Li lay on the bed, his little face lost in thought.

Now that she is slowly recovering her memory, the thing that has had the greatest impact on her is that Uncle Gu personally acknowledged that she is his daughter.

Mo Li had never thought that the only relative he had in this world had always been by his side.

But she couldn't understand why Uncle Gu didn't dare to recognize her after knowing her identity?

Thinking of this, Mo Li couldn't help but reveal a trace of sadness on his face, and said to Xu Chengling:

"Master, why did Uncle Gu... refuse to recognize me before?"

"In fact, Uncle Gu also has his own difficulties."

Xu Chengling couldn't help but sigh softly. How pitiful are the parents in the world. Uncle Gu also wanted to meet Mo Li and his daughter as soon as possible.

But he was afraid that because of the crime he committed back then, Mo Li would be implicated as well, so he was afraid to recognize Mo Li.

But now, Uncle Gu has made a decision to return to the underworld and personally kill all his enemies from the past.

What he did might not be right, but it was the only way for him to protect his daughter.

"Is that so... I misunderstood him."

After listening to Xu Chengling's story, Mo Li couldn't help but shed tears. She didn't expect that Uncle Gu had done so much for her. The misunderstanding between father and daughter was also resolved with Xu Chengling's explanation.

But in order to completely resolve the misunderstanding, Uncle Gu needs to talk to Mo Li in person, not Xu Chengling.

"Dong dong..."

Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"who is it?"

"Master, it's me, Uncle Gu, can I come in for a moment?"

"Uncle Gu, please come in."

Standing at the door, after some hesitation, Gu Mo pushed open Mo Li's door and came in front of her.

Gu Mo looked at Mo Li on the bed, then looked at Xu Chengling beside him, and pleaded with him:

"Master, can you give me and Li'er some time? There are some things I want to talk to her in person."

Chapter 241 It's Not Impossible

Xu Chengling nodded and left the room, giving Mo Li and Uncle Gu some space to talk.

They haven't seen each other for many years, and they both have a lot to say to each other.

If he stayed here any longer, he would be like a light bulb.

After Xu Chengling left, only Mo Li and Gu Mo were left in the room.

Gu Mo stood by the bed, keeping some distance from Mo Li. He sat on a chair beside him and said:

"Mo Li, are you feeling better?"

"Well, much better."

Mo Li nodded slightly. At this moment, she looked at the man in front of her who had experienced many vicissitudes of life, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

If she could move now, she would definitely punch the other person hard in the chest and vent all the grievances she had suffered over the years.

"Mo Li, regarding your identity..."

Gu Mo hesitated for a few times before finally deciding to ask her:

"You look a lot like Yue'er. Is there a heart-shaped birthmark on your right thigh?"

Mo Li's face was a little surprised, but she nodded immediately. She did have a birthmark on her right thigh, and she had been there since she was a child.

In other words, did Uncle Gu recognize her identity through this birthmark?

"Yue'er...is this mother's name?"

Mo Li couldn't help but ask. She had never seen her mother since she was a child, and she didn't know what her mother looked like. Did she look very much like her mother?

"Ah."

Gumer nodded.

"What about mother?"

"This is all my fault. Back then, your mother...after giving birth to you, in order to protect you and not to implicate me, she chose to commit suicide under the enemy's knife."

Gu Mo said with a heavy heart, telling Li Qiye the whole story of what happened that year.

After listening to Gu Mo's complete story, Mo Li was shocked. It turned out that so many things happened to her when she was a child.

Her mother died when she took action. In order to protect her, her father chose to lead the enemy away alone and entrusted her to a trusted woman.

"If I hadn't been young and frivolous and hadn't provoked so many enemies outside, Yue'er and you wouldn't have been implicated... This is all my fault."

Gu Mo said with deep remorse in his heart that he deserved this fate.

But Yue'er and Mo Li were both innocent. They were implicated because of him. This was all his fault.

However, facing Gu Mo's self-blame, Mo Li barely raised himself up on the bed, shook his head and said:

"Uncle Gu... No, Father, this is not your fault. You did your best to protect us back then. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have survived. Mother... There was nothing she could do."

Mo Li bit his lower lip lightly, waved his fist with a look of grief and indignation and said:

"If you want to blame someone, blame those enemies from the past. They will definitely not let this go."

"No, they won't bother you anymore."

Gu Mo said in a deep voice, and then told Mo Li what happened while she was unconscious.

During the seven days she was in a coma, there was a bloody storm in the martial arts world. All her enemies from that time were wiped out and could no longer pose a threat.

In the end, Gu Mo attributed all this to Xu Chengling. Without the master's connections and intelligence, it would have been impossible for him to complete his revenge alone.

For this, Gu Mo was very grateful to Xu Chengling in his heart. He secretly swore in his heart that he would repay the master's kindness even at the cost of his life.

All he could do was to be loyal to his master, become his sword, and clear all obstacles ahead for him.

Now Gu Mo has one thing on his mind, which is to resolve the misunderstanding with his daughter and admit his mistake to her.

"Mo Li, you won't blame me?"

Gu Mo looked at the girl on the bed and asked her.

Mo Li shook her head again. She took out the blue necklace from the bedside, gently placed it on her chest, opened her lips and said:

"If my mother were still alive, she would definitely want to see us well. Now that my mother is gone, I have to live well with her love."

"I have always thought that if my father was a man of integrity, he would protect me from being bullied by anyone. If a bad guy came, he would help me beat him away. I would feel safe by his side."

As Mo Li continued to speak, tears could not help but fall from the corners of her eyes, but these were tears of joy.

She wiped her tears and said to the man in front of her:

"I am actually very happy because my father is still alive and I am no longer alone."

Gu Mo was touched by Mo Li's words. She had been too lonely over the years.

But that won't happen anymore. As long as he is alive, he will never allow anyone to bully her, and he will fulfill his duties as a father and protect her.

Gu Mo patted Li Qiye's back gently and said to her:

"Don't worry, as long as your father is around, no one will bully you anymore, and you will never be alone again."

After this incident, the father and daughter resolved their misunderstandings and put an end to their past grudges.

"Li'er, what are you going to do in the future?"

Gu Mo couldn't help but ask her.

"Are you still planning on leaving here?"

This is what Gumer is most concerned about right now.

If Mo Li insisted on leaving, he could not follow Mo Li because he had to stay to protect the master.

But his enemies had all been killed, so he didn't have to worry about Mo Li being harassed by his enemies again. But as a father, he couldn't bear to see Mo Li suffer outside.

However, Mo Li has grown up and she has the right to choose whether to leave or stay. As a father, he can only respect his daughter's thoughts.

"I need to think about this matter again."

After hesitating for a moment, Mo Li replied that she had actually thought about it, but hadn't made up her mind yet.

In fact, she left the Xiangguo Mansion before because she didn't have the sense of belonging she wanted here, which only made her feel more lonely.

But now she knows that her father is still alive and in the Prime Minister's Mansion. This is the sense of belonging she has always wanted.

And compared to the cruel world outside, staying with the master is obviously the best choice.

"Li'er, why don't you just stay with the master? The master is a good man, young and promising. I feel at ease if you stay with him."

Gu Mo looked like an old father. Thinking about it carefully, Mo Li was already at the age to get married.

In Gu Mo's opinion, Xu Chengling was definitely the most suitable candidate. He became the prime minister at a young age, treated servants like them very well, and was handsome and impeccable.

If there is one thing that is a bit regrettable, it is that the master has already married, and Mo Li can only be a concubine.

"Ah, father, what are you talking about... Master, I need to think about it again."

Mo Li's pretty face turned red, and she was a little at a loss for a moment.

After a long time, she lowered her head and whispered:

"If it's the master...it's not impossible."
