Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Li Chengge didn't have the energy to care about Li Xuan's teardrop mole now, "Hasn't it always been there?"

Aunt Zhang was very sure, "No! When Second Master was a child, his face was white and clean, there was nothing on it."

To be honest, Li Chengge hated Li Xuan'an when he was a child. Not to mention being friendly and respectful to his brother, he would get angry if he looked at him for even a second. But he was afraid that his father loved him, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Why are you talking about this? What does his teardrop mole have to do with me?" Li Chengge said impatiently, "Some people didn't have a teardrop mole when they were young, but it's normal to suddenly grow one when they grow up."

Aunt Zhang choked.

After a moment of silence, Aunt Zhang still did not give up, "Brother, do you remember that year when Taoist Master Chen Buchu suddenly brought back a little maid?"

Li Chengge did have an impression of her. The maid was slightly shorter than Li Xuan'an, thin, and always wore a veil. People said she was ugly, but Li Chengge still remembers her graceful back.

"Call her Xun'er or something. Li Xuan'an likes her very much and takes her wherever he goes." Li Chengge gritted his teeth when he said this. Ever since the maid came to the mansion, Li Xuan'an's laughter could often be heard from the west courtyard, while he could only look at his mother's lifeless face and practice swordsmanship non-stop.

"Yes, her name is Xun'er." Aunt Zhang was lost in her memories, with a look of amazement on her face. "I once went to the kitchen to give my brother a blowjob in the middle of the night and ran into that maid."

"She was not wearing a veil at the time. She was very pretty, with more rugged features than the average little girl. She, she had a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye!"

Thinking of this now, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but sigh, if Xun'er hadn't died, she would have been as beautiful as a fairy by now, and there would be no need for Ye Zhen!

"Really?" Li Chengge was a playboy by nature. Thinking of Xun'er's back and hearing what Zhang Ma said, he actually felt a little itchy. "I have never seen what she looks like. But now that you mention it... it reminds me of the time when Taoist Master Chen Buchu punished them to kneel in the yard."

"It is said that Li Xu'an was curious and used a pen to draw a teardrop mole at the corner of his eye."

At that time, Li Chengge laughed at Li Xuan and said he deserved to be punished. Looking back now, he realized that if Li Xuan didn't like that girl at that time, he would not have done such a stupid thing.

The two of them had probably been in love for a long time, otherwise how could a girl be willing to die for him?

Aunt Zhang didn't expect him to hit the point. She slapped her thigh and said mysteriously, "That's right! But I just saw that the teardrop mole on the second master's face was not painted, so it can't be wiped off!"

Li Chengge's sneer froze in the middle, and then he suddenly grabbed Zhang Ma's hand and realized something.

Zhang Ma also broke out in a cold sweat. "Even if it grew out when he grew up, it doesn't make sense for it to be in the same place as that little girl!"

Li Chengge's mind exploded, "Impossible."

"How is that possible? That little maid is a woman!"

Aunt Zhang also knew that this guess was too horrible, but, but this was also an opportunity for Li Chengge to turn things around. "In that assassination, when the soldiers went looking for him, he was the only one there! No one knows what happened in the cave."

With Li Chengge leading the troops to escort, the journey to Qingzongmen was much smoother. Ordinary people avoided those wearing armor, while local officials received the news early and prepared a simple banquet at mealtime.

With the precedent of Yao Zhaoan, no matter whether others were preparing food or guest rooms, they would reserve a women's room for Ye Zhen and have a tight-lipped maid serve her, for fear that a single mistake would make Ye Zhen unhappy and that a crazy woman would appear in their family.

Of course, more people still sincerely want to ask for a talisman from the national master, and it would be perfect if they could get some advice from the national master at the same time.

Wherever Li Chengge went, he would write a memorial and send it back to the capital, one to the emperor and one to the prince.

That night, he had just released the carrier pigeon when he suddenly saw Li Xuan standing behind him, his eyes gradually moving away as the pigeon flew away.

Li Chengge felt guilty, his eyes flickered, "Why are you here?"

Li Xuan fiddled with the peach wood rosary, and the slight movement made Li Chengge feel even more uneasy.

"I am surprised that my brother can crawl to the side of the prince."

Li Chengge heard him break through the window paper, and did not quibble, "Humph, I am not like you, who only cares about my own happiness after entering the Taoist sect and does not care about the future of the Marquis' Mansion."

Li Xuan said, "I would like to advise you, brother. The Crown Prince is not a good master. You should not entrust your life and property to the Eastern Palace. Otherwise, let alone the prosperity of the Marquisate, you may not even have a future."

Li Chengge hated his condescending attitude the most, especially since he had gone through so much trouble to get the opportunity from the prince, so why should he deny it with just one word from Li Xuan?

He sneered, "From what you said, it sounds like you're hoping for the decline of the Marquis' Mansion."

"I don't care what you do, and you don't care what I do!"

"Why do you always have the final say? You can decide honor and disgrace, success and failure with just a touch of your lips. Ordinary people try their best but it becomes a mistake when you say it. Why?"

"I don't care what others say, but you, my brother, are related to the entire mansion."

"My father doesn't care, why do you need to worry about it?" Li Chengge was completely enraged. "Or has His Majesty agreed that you will inherit the title of Marquis? If so, I, Li Chengge, will pack up and leave right now and will not affect you at all!"

In the darkness, Li Xuan'an stared at him deeply with his dark eyes. After a while, he shook his head helplessly.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Li Chengge suddenly spoke again, "You have been like this since you were a child, and you always lecture me from a high position, saying that everything I do is wrong. That year, I pushed you into the water in a rage, and you should have known to stay away from me then."

"If I were you, I wouldn't be saying this today."

Li Xuan paused, turned his head and looked cold and puzzled, "When did you push me into the water?"

"It was just a quarrel, and you got so angry that you jumped into the pool and wrongly accused me in front of father."

When Li Chengge heard him say this, the heart that had been hanging in his throat finally fell back into his stomach.

Yes, it's him.

Li Chengge couldn't help but laugh, the wet nurse was really old.

Li Xuan walked into the light, his expression tense, his hands clenched into fists, his eyelashes trembling a few times, "He's suspicious."

Why?

But no matter what the reason, he doesn't have much time left.

They traveled for the next two days. Ye Zhen and Ye Jinglan rode in a carriage. The higher they went up the mountain, the colder it felt. Ye Jinglan felt some pain in his legs and feet, and the medicine he took on a daily basis was no more effective than before, so Ye Zhen wrapped him in thick clothes.

It rained the night before arriving at Qingzongmen and Li Xuan started coughing again. They stayed at the foot of the mountain for a day. Ye Zhen had to take care of his brother and was worried about Li Xuan. He ran around and although he was anxious, he arranged everything in an orderly manner without any confusion.

Li Chengge had seen enough of the sweetness between her and Li Xuan'an, and he was very happy to see Li Xuan'an fall ill. But he felt very aggrieved when he saw Ye Zhen busy in and out in front of him without paying any extra attention to him.

Then he pointed two guards to take care of Li Xuan, and said to Ye Zhen, "It's not like the Marquis's Mansion doesn't have servants, so there's no need for you to be like an old maid and hang around him."

Ye Zhen felt unhappy, and when she heard that, she threw the handkerchief into the basin with a "pa" sound, splashing water all over Li Chengge's face. He subconsciously raised his eyebrows and glared with a murderous look.

Ye Zhen stared at him, "I do."

"You!" Li Chengge couldn't control himself for a moment, "You are so lowly! You have no shame! You stuck to me in front of so many people, it's just, just shameful."

Ye Zhen hadn't been this angry in a long time. She laughed out of anger, "When it comes to being mean, the general is not a good guy either."

"Besides, even if I'm embarrassed, it's not your face that's embarrassed."

Li Chengge choked on his breath and his face turned red with anxiety, but Ye Zhen turned around and left without even taking the handkerchief.

And he, Li Chengge, was discarded by her like a handkerchief sliding away with the water!
