The little sister is a troublemaker

As soon as Li Mulan and Li Xun went out, they saw Qingyu who hurried back.

"Sister? Why are you back so soon?"

Qingyu saw that the other party looked normal and felt relieved. "Yuan Ru borrowed some reliable hands from Lin Haisheng and went to the Li family. I was worried that something unexpected might happen to you, so I was worried."

Li Mulan took Qingyu's arm and said, "It's okay, hehe, and we don't have to be so sneaky in the future. Let's go, maybe we can catch up with Yuanyuan."

Qingyu looked at Chu Jie who was following behind her with a longing look on his face, "Xiao Jie is going too?"

Chu Jie nodded excitedly, "Yes, Sister Lan said she could take me there."

Although Qingyu was confused, she would never object to Li Mulan's decision.

Li Xun left the inn, feeling a little dazed. "Lan'er, do you think this is true? After all, we are not familiar with this person. Is this news really reliable?"

Li Mulan paused. They seemed to be too happy too early. They didn't even bother to investigate the truth of the news. She looked back at the inn with some fear. That man really had a kind of magic, as if what he said was true. Or, he had the aura of a superior, as if every word he said could convince people.

"Don't worry, Uncle. I will arrange for someone to investigate immediately. However, I personally feel that the authenticity of the news is very high. After all, it is very close to our previous speculation, but it came earlier than we expected."

Chu Jie on the side was already a little anxious, "Sister Lan, you have to believe my uncle. If he says it is true, it must be true. He...he..."

Oh, Chu Jie was really getting anxious. He couldn't say that he was the emperor and the man just now was the regent. How should he explain this?

Xing came out of the inn expressionlessly and handed a letter to Li Xun, "Second Master, this is a letter from an old friend of your father. Take it back and your father will understand after reading it. Our master came here this time, firstly to find our young master, and also to pass on the message for this old friend."

Then he bowed slightly to Li Mulan and Chu Jie, turned around and went back to the inn.

Li Xun looked at Li Mulan, who was also very surprised. He hesitated and said, "Why don't we go back first and wait for grandfather to make the final decision?"

Li Xun nodded. Everything that happened today happened too suddenly. He was totally unprepared and his mind was a little confused at the moment.

I hurried back and as soon as I arrived at the Li family's yard, I saw a lot of people gathered outside the yard.

Li Xun was very surprised. Normally, the people in the mine had not finished work yet. How could there be so many people? He got off the carriage in a hurry. When everyone saw him coming back, they made way for him, but their eyes were fixed on the people behind Li Xun. Did the Li family really meet a noble person?

Most of the people gathered were the elderly, the weak, women and children, with a few strong men, who should be the laborers taking shifts.

As soon as I entered the yard, Li Yi and Li Yun came to meet me.

"Second brother!"

"Second brother!"

Li Yi spoke first, "What happened? Young Master Huo had us brought back, but he didn't explain why. What happened?"

Li Xun nodded to Huo Yuanruo and whispered to his eldest brother, "Brother, go talk to Dad. Lan'er is here too."

Hearing that his daughter was coming, Li Yi looked up and saw the girl in red slowly approaching from behind. Just as Li Yi was about to say something, he was stopped by Li Xun, "Let's talk inside."

At this moment, Zhang came out. She had been waiting for her daughter for the past two days. When she saw Li Mulan, she was stunned. She did not change her appearance today. Her fair skin and graceful figure were beautiful no matter how you looked at her. Even if there was a scar at the corner of her eye, it still could not hide her beautiful face.

Zhang's eyes were filled with tears. Li Mulan took a few steps forward and held her hand, but frowned for a moment. Her hands... were covered with calluses. She must have suffered a lot over the years.

Li Xun whispered at the side, "Lan'er, business is more important."

Li Mulan came back to her senses and looked at Zhang, a little bewildered. "Wait for me. I'll go see my grandfather first and come to see you later."

Although Zhang was reluctant to leave, she was not in a hurry as the person was right in front of her. She wiped the tears from her face and withdrew her hand when she saw so many people outside the yard. "You go and do your work first. I...I'll wait for you."

Li Mulan's eyes were filled with tears, but she said nothing more and followed Li Xun into the house.

Qingyu and Chu Jie went to Huo Yuanruo's place, not wanting to disturb their family from discussing business matters.

Li Cong could no longer suppress his anxiety. Huo Yuanruo brought the boss and others back from the mine in broad daylight, which meant something serious must have happened.

"Dad!" "Dad!" "Dad!" "Grandfather!"

"What happened? Why is there so much fuss?"

Li Xun took out a letter from his arms and said, "Dad, let's not talk about anything else for now. Please read this letter first. Someone just gave it to your son, saying that your old friend asked him to bring it to you."

"Old friend?" Li Cong frowned, wondering who this old friend might be.

After opening the letter, Li Cong's expression was first shock, then anger, then confusion, and finally relief. He shook his head and laughed.

His change puzzled the people in the room. Li Xun wanted to go forward and take the letter, but Li Cong simply folded the letter and stuffed it into his arms.

Li Xun touched his nose awkwardly. Dad... wouldn't let me see it? What was so important that he even hid it from me?

"Tell me, what happened today?"

Li Xun simply told his father everything that happened today. Li Cong's expression did not change. Li Yi and Li Yun were very excited after hearing it.

"Is this true? We can really go back to Kyoto?"

"Is this news reliable?"

Li Xun hesitated, "I don't know either. The other party said that as long as Dad reads the letter, he will know. So, Dad, what exactly is written in the letter? Is this really written by your old friend?"

Li Cong coughed lightly, "Yes, it's an old friend. As for this news, it should be true."

Li Yi was so excited that tears streamed down his cheeks. "Really? It's true? I... am not dreaming, am I?"

Li Yun's eyes also turned red. "Finally, we have waited for this day. We actually have a day to return to Kyoto. This... is really great."

Li Xun still couldn't believe it, "Dad, can your old friend really be trusted?"

Li Cong's eyes widened, "You don't believe what your father said?"

Li Xun coughed lightly with some discomfort. He was really curious about the content of the letter. His father's expression just now was not happy at all. How could he be sure of the authenticity of the news?

Li Cong was a little impatient, "You guys go out first, I need to think about it carefully."

Li Mulan was also confused. Her grandfather's reaction was very strange. But he was an elder after all, so they left without asking any more questions.

After everyone left, Li Cong took out the letter and read it twice, then cursed, "This stinky boy hasn't changed at all."

In fact, there was only one sentence written on the letter: Old and conservative, after years of hard work, is your character still there?

Who else could it be other than that devil Chu Chenfeng?

As Li Cong kept cursing, his eyes became red. God was merciful, as he, Li Cong, was able to return to Kyoto alive.
