The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 48 Still Unmarried

"Okay, next round then."

Li Xun wanted to stop him, but was calmed down by Li Mulan. "Second Uncle, we are all invisible in front of Uncle Chu. If he really wants to harm us, he doesn't have to wait until now. Don't you agree? Uncle Chu?"

Chu Chenfeng nodded slightly, but he really...disliked the way she addressed him.

Chu Jie, who was standing by, was already stunned by the amount of information. Sister Lan was also a member of the Li family, the granddaughter of Li Taifu. It turned out that he had already found the Li family. He smiled. This must be God's will. It must be his father who was guiding him in the dark.

The chessboard was quickly rearranged. The only difference was that Li Xun's position was replaced by Li Mulan, and Li Xun still stood behind her.

The two of them were very fast and the back and forth was particularly intense.

But this is only what outsiders saw. In fact, Li Mulan didn't use her brain at all. Every time Chu Chenfeng placed his black pieces, her white pieces would follow immediately, as if she didn't need to think at all.

Little did he know that Li Xun on the side was already stunned. He never expected that Lan'er would be so talented. Her chess skills were really beyond his reach. Even his father probably couldn't compare to her... She really deserved to be the granddaughter of the Li family. She was so outstanding.

The game ended quickly and Chu Chenfeng lost.

Chu Jie on the side had his mouth wide open in shock, while Li Xun was grinning like a fool, with an expression that showed so much pride.

Chu Chenfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, huh, interesting.

"One more round."

Li Mulan crossed her arms and said jokingly, "Uncle Chu, we agreed on one game, so your bet is only worth this one game."

Chu Chenfeng smiled lightly, "Then increase the stakes?"

Li Mulan remained noncommittal, and the cute dimples on her lips deepened. "Then we'll see if the stakes are worth it."

Chu Chenfeng paused, "It is closely related to the future of the Li family. One more thing, it is good news."

Li Mulan immediately smiled brightly and looked back at the stunned Li Xun, "Okay, I'll keep you company."

The two played another game, and the result was the same as before, Chu Chenfeng lost.

The look in Chu Jie's eyes when he looked at Li Mulan was simply too much admiration. He had always thought that his uncle was the most powerful person in the world, but he didn't expect that he would lose to Sister Lan twice. This was really...too cool, hahahahaha.

Li Xun was also shocked. This Lan'er was really amazing.

Only Chu Chenfeng's eyes were full of smiles. It turned out that he was a little idiot who didn't know how to play chess. However, he was quite smart and could bluff people.

Li Mulan also felt very guilty at this moment. After all, her master had told her not to play chess with others easily, especially with people who knew chess.

"Okay, the game of chess is over, so Uncle Chu, please stop keeping us in suspense." Li Mulan looked at the opposite side with pride in her eyes. Hehehe, luckily, she had a lot of ideas in her head, which was enough to fool people.

Chu Chenfeng turned his neck slightly, which was a little stiff. Seeing this, Chu Jie immediately stepped forward and massaged his uncle's shoulders.

Seeing this, Li Mulan gave him an appreciative look.

Chu Jie was very happy because Sister Lan praised him.

Chu Chenfeng felt uncomfortable. This brat was so ungrateful. How long have we known each other? But he didn't say much. He looked at Li Xun and said, "The imperial edict of pardon is on the way to Mobei. You can prepare to return to Kyoto."

Li Xun never expected that this day would come so soon. His lips trembled slightly, "How could...how could the court...how could it be so sudden?"

"It's not sudden anymore. It's been nine years."

"But...how could that be?"

"The matter of the former crown prince has been investigated. It was framed by King Cheng. The evidence is irrefutable."

"King Cheng?" Li Xun's eyes turned cold, "It is indeed him."

Chu Chenfeng looked at him with his narrow eyes, "It seems that Mr. Li has already guessed it."

Li Xun smiled bitterly, "So what if I have guesses? It's still..."

"Although the emperor is young, he is not an unreasonable person. The Li family has a promising future."

Li Xun shook his head. "As long as I can get back safely, I don't expect anything else."

Chu Chenfeng smiled lightly, "I'll give you another piece of news, Mr. Li."

Li Xun raised his eyes, somewhat puzzled.

"The daughter of the Minister of Revenue, Lin Xuelan, has not married yet."

Li Xun's body froze, his eyes full of disbelief. Soon, his eyes turned red, "Take... take it seriously?"

Chu Chenfeng nodded, "She is already 28 years old and still hasn't married. I'm sure Mr. Li knows why."

Li Mulan was also somewhat moved. This girl named Lin Xuelan must be the sweetheart of her second uncle. The Li family was exiled for fourteen years, and this girl really waited for fourteen years. She grabbed the arm of Li Xun, who was a little out of control, and said, "If this news is true, Mulan will definitely give Uncle Chu a big gift to thank him."

Chu Chenfeng's eyes were deep, "Okay, I'll wait for Miss Li's gift."

Li Mulan choked. Was this... just a polite remark? Couldn't this man hear that? Did he really want this big gift from her? Forget it, when the time comes, just look through the old drafts of the senior brother. Maybe I can find a complete painting to give to him. Even if... it's incomplete, it shouldn't matter. Hehehe.

Chu Chenfeng glanced at Chu Jie who seemed very well behaved, "What are you staring at? Let's go."

Chu Jie hesitated and said, "I...I want to be with Sister Lan."

"Oh, you're really impossible to tame." Chu Chenfeng didn't bother to pay attention to him and left.

Li Mulan, on the other hand, said apologetically, "Xiao Jie, I have to go out for something soon, maybe..."

"I know, Sister Lan is definitely going to the Li family, and Xiaojie wants to go with her."

Li Mulan glanced at Li Xun awkwardly, "If the news is true, there is no danger."

Chu Jie nodded immediately. "Don't worry, Uncle Li. What my uncle said is definitely correct. He...he is well-informed and very powerful."

Li Mulan saw Chu Chenfeng leave, and rolled her eyes to look at Chu Jie, "Xiao Jie, your uncle is so powerful, what does he do?"

Chu Jie is also a little smart guy. "My uncle does everything. He has his own people in the court and does business as well."

Li Xun nodded. He guessed that he was a descendant of some aristocratic family. It was normal for him to have his own information network.

But Li Mulan was not satisfied. It was as if she had said nothing. "What kind of business?"

Chu Jie was a little puzzled, "It's just a business to make money."

Li Mulan choked, haha, of course the purpose of doing business is to make money. Looking at the puzzled look on the little boy's face, forget it, what does a child know.

However, what she didn't realize was the cunning in Chu Jie's eyes when she wasn't paying attention. Can an emperor of a country, no matter how young he is, be a simple one?

Soon, Chu Chenfeng, who had just left, received the message, "Haha, little fox."

Fortunately, his stupid nephew was not so stupid that he would not sell him out immediately.
