The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 36 The Regent in the City Lord's Mansion

"It hurts so much." Li Xi pouted in grievance.

Li Xun slapped him on the head in anger, "You're in pain, but you don't pay attention. You're an adult, but you're not as steady as your sister."

"How long will it take for your grandfather's leg to heal?" Li Yi asked.

Li Mulan looked at Li Cong and said, "Grandfather, your leg has been in bad condition for a long time, so the treatment will take a relatively long time. It will take at most half a year to fully recover, and you will definitely be able to recover to your previous state."

"Half a year?" Li Cong was very satisfied when he heard the time. He originally thought that even if it could be cured, it would take a very long time.

"Yes, at most half a year. But if grandpa can listen to me and follow my treatment plan completely, maybe he can recover in March." Li Mulan raised the corners of her lips, her face full of confidence.

"Okay, okay, grandpa will definitely listen to our Lan'er."

Li Xun also smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lan'er, your second uncle will also help you look after your grandfather. Look, when are you going to start? Today..."

Li Mulan waved her hand and said, "It's impossible today, Grandfather. I have to go back and prepare some tools and medicine. I'll come back when everything is ready."

Li Yi was a little worried, "Will it be unsafe next time I come?"

Li Mulan understood his worries, "Don't worry, Dad. We will come at night. With Yuanyuan here, nothing will happen. Don't look at him as a fool, but he is very skilled. Few people in the martial arts world can match him. Besides, I have a sister who is also a master. She comes and goes without a trace and will never be discovered."

Li Yi nodded, "It's better to be cautious."

"Knock knock", someone is knocking on the door.

Li Xun went to open the door and saw Huo Yuanruo peeking in.

"What's wrong?" Li Mulan asked.

Huo Yuanruo looked at the old man on the bed. Is this his junior uncle's grandfather?

"Yuanyuan?"

"Ah! That Lin Haisheng's men have found you here, saying they are here to deliver a letter, and they insist that you take it in person."

Li Mulan was puzzled. What urgent matter could Lin Haisheng have that made him come here?

"Where are the people? Bring them in."

Huo Yuanruo hooked his finger at the person behind him, who trotted over. Seeing Li Mulan's expression, he was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over, "The master said that Miss Nine should destroy the letter immediately after reading it."

Li Mulan paused, took the letter and stroked it, "Got it."

The man didn't waste any time, just bowed and left.

Li Mulan winked at Huo Yuanruo, who tactfully turned around and left, closing the door.

"Could the Lin Haisheng that Brother Huo mentioned be the mayor of Xiangyun City?" Li Xun asked calmly, but his eyes were deeper than before.

Li Mulan replied as she opened the letter, "Yes, it's him."

Seeing that he had no intention of avoiding them, Li Xun took two steps forward and asked, "Is there something urgent?"

Li Mulan's expression changed after reading the letter. There was a sentence written on the letter: The Regent is in the City Lord's Mansion.

She glanced at them dimly and handed the letter to Li Xun. Li Xun hesitated but still took it and brought it directly to Li Cong and opened it.

After seeing the contents of the letter, the two of them froze. Li Yi was puzzled and took the letter to read it. The result was...

Li Mulan suddenly chuckled, "It seems that we may not have to wait that long. Grandfather, I will go back first and come back when I have prepared the tools."

Li Cong hurriedly stopped him, "The Regent is not a simple person, Lan'er, don't be reckless."

Li Mulan touched her nose. How could her grandfather know that she was going to meet the regent? Was she being too obvious?

"Grandfather, I know. Don't worry. I won't confront anyone easily. I'm just trying to get some information."

Li Cong said solemnly, "You must not confront him. Do you understand? When the former crown prince was alive, he would still listen to you. But now, I guess no one can control him. Besides, it's really hard to guess what a man who can easily give up the throne is thinking."

Or maybe his ambitions go far beyond this...

"Okay, I understand, Grandfather. I promise you that I will never confront him."

Li Xun's expression was more serious than ever before. He always felt that this time he might really have a chance to go back.

"What is here that is worth the regent to come here in person?"

Li Cong was also puzzled. What else in the world could make that person go on such a journey in person with such a large army?

"No matter what, I should leave. I don't know what this regent is planning. Considering the relationship between my grandfather and the late crown prince, someone might target him soon, or maybe..." He has already been targeted.

Several people also guessed something, their expressions became tense, and they didn't want to keep Li Mulan, so they asked her to leave quickly.

Li Cong warned, "Don't come over recently. Grandfather's legs are already like this. It doesn't hurt to wait a little longer. Remember not to take any risks."

"Grandfather, I know what's going on." Then he looked at his father and second uncle, "Dad, second uncle, I'll go first."

"Okay, okay, you go first." Although Li Yi was reluctant, compared with his daughter's safety, it was not that important.

As soon as the door opened, they saw Huo Yuanruo and Li Yun standing in the yard, looking a little uncomfortable. Li Mulan was amused when she saw this. It was really hard for this uncle to stay with Huo Yuanruo. She was not good at speaking, so she was probably helpless when she met Yuanyuan.

Just as I was about to say something, I saw Zhang coming from the kitchen.

Li Mulan didn't have time to avoid it, and the two of them faced each other directly. Zhang was also stunned, but when she saw Li Mulan's face, she was suddenly stunned.

Li Mulan wanted to hide, but the other party did not give her a chance, and took two quick steps forward and stared at her face. Her expression was somewhat unbelievable, and everyone thought that she had recognized Li Mulan, and even Li Mulan herself thought so.

Unexpectedly, Zhang suddenly knocked her head hard and said to herself, "No, no... I am sick again, I must be sick again..."

Then, under everyone's surprised gaze, he went back to his room and closed the door, muttering, "This is not true... This is not right..."

Li Mulan felt a pang of pain in her heart. She wanted to go forward but Li Yi held her arm. He shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "You go back first. I will tell her clearly... and everything will be fine when you come next time."

Li Mulan looked at her tired and distressed father and finally stopped, "You guys, wait for me!"

Li Yi nodded with satisfaction, "Okay."

She exchanged glances with Huo Yuanruo, who immediately stretched himself and said, "Oh, I'm so tired. I've been sitting here for a long time and there's nothing here. What a hell of a place. Let's go. It's not fun at all."

Li Xun hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to apologize, "I'm sorry for neglecting you, this is a poor place, it's really..."

Huo Yuanruo waved his hands impatiently, "Alright, alright, I don't expect this place to have any new things, I'm leaving. You, remember to find me at the inn next time. We've agreed that during my stay in Xiangyun City, you will be at my service."

"Yes, yes, I understand, little one."
