The little sister is a troublemaker

"But, Xiaojie, you should go back to Beijing."

Chu Jie paused, looking somewhat reluctant, "Can't you wait a few more days?" He wanted to go back to Kyoto with Sister Lan and the others.

"There's been a lot of commotion over there with the Prime Minister lately."

Chu Jie lowered his head slightly. Prime Minister Xu Tian was Chu Jie's grandfather. He relied on his status to cultivate a lot of power in the court and often made trouble for his uncle, although he always got nothing in return. Chu Jie knew that the uncle was doing this for his sake because he had no relatives in this world.

"I'm sorry to embarrass my uncle."

Chu Chenfeng's expression did not change at all, "None of this matters."

"Then...can I wait for another two days? I want to say goodbye to Sister Lan and the others properly, and I also want to give it one more try. Maybe Master Li will agree."

"I'll give you one more day. I'll arrange for someone to take you back to Beijing the day after tomorrow morning."

"Yes, thank you, uncle."

Early the next morning.

Li Mulan had breakfast with Huo Yuanruo and Chu Jie, and came back only after Qingyu finished her breakfast.

"Sister, you must be tired. Drink some water first."

Qingyu took the cup handed over by Li Mulan and said, "Are you done? Everything is ready, let's go."

"it is good."

"Wait," Huo Yuanruo suddenly interrupted, and then called the waiter loudly, "Are all the things I prepared ready?"

The waiter brought over two large food boxes, smiling flatteringly, "Alright, alright, the food that the young master asked me to prepare is all ready. It's still hot from the pot. Can you take a look?"

Huo Yuanruo waved his hand and said, "No need, just give it to me."

Then he strode away in Li Mulan's surprised eyes, "Go, go."

Li Mulan looked at Chu Jie, and Chu Jie immediately shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

As they left the inn, they saw two carriages. Qingyu explained, "There are too many things to fit in the carriage, so we prepared an extra one."

"Don't tell my sister, just prepare less. I won't be staying for long anyway."

Qingyu smiled and said, "I saw that the clothes and shoes that Aunt and the others were wearing were too old, so I prepared a few more sets according to their body shapes. Anyway, they can all be used."

"It shouldn't be that many." Li Mulan pulled open the curtain of the carriage at the back, and the entire carriage was packed full.

"It just looks scary. There are a few quilts and other things. I think they are... too thin, especially for Mr. Li. We can't be too casual. The rest are things we need. After all, we have to live here for a while, so it's better to be more comfortable."

Li Mulan understood, "Sister is always so thoughtful."

"Oh, Junior Uncle-Master, Sister Qingyu, can't you just get in the carriage and talk?" His things were almost getting cold.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Then he glanced at his lunch box, "Were you not full just now? Why did you prepare two big boxes to take on the road?"

Huo Yuanruo was too lazy to pay attention to her. He waited until everyone got into the carriage before driving it out of the city.

There were not so many people in the Li family's yard today. After all, at this time, everyone else had gone to work, and only Li Cong, the injured Li Xi, and Zhang were at home.

After Li Mulan and the others arrived, Zhang was the first to greet them. "Why don't you take a rest? Why are you here so early?"

Li Mulan held Zhang's hand and said, "We are used to it. We used to go to bed early and get up early in the mountains." Then she saw Li Xi, who was grinning, coming out and asked, "Where is Second Uncle?"

"He has also gone to work. He said that he will be gone in a few days. He wants to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by gossip."

Li Xun went to the mine today, not to really work, but to find Brother Bao and learn more about things.

When Huo Yuanruo saw Li Xi, he immediately got on the carriage and took out the two food boxes he had prepared, "Look, what did I prepare for you?"

Li Xi was a little stunned, "What?"

Huo Yuanruo frowned in disdain, "Open it and take a look."

Li Xi opened a food box with a puzzled look on his face. It was filled with a lot of food, and almost all of it was meat. Then he opened the other one, and it was the same, except that the dishes were different.

"Brother Huo...what are you doing?"

Huo Yuanruo's eyes widened. "What can I do with this? Eat. Didn't I tell you to bring you something delicious? These are my favorites, with lots of meat. You're so skinny...you need to eat more."

Li Xi swallowed his saliva. He was indeed a little hungry, but... "I can't eat that much."

"Try to eat more. You want to grow as tall and strong as me, so you must eat more meat. Do you understand?"

Then he pinched Li Xide's thin arm, and said with disdain, "When I have time, I will teach you a few sets of boxing to strengthen your body. Your bones are not good enough for martial arts, but you can practice a few more sets of boxing to strengthen your body."

"Really?" Li Xi's eyes were filled with excitement. Thinking back to the day when Huo Yuanruo took him to the forest behind the mountain to perform Qinggong, he felt it was amazing. His heart and eyes were filled with envy. "Can I learn it too?"

"I won't teach you the advanced ones, and you won't be able to learn them. I can do the simple ones."

Li Mulan listened to Huo Yuanruo's annoying tone and shook her head helplessly. She said to Zhang, "It's not bad to let Xi'er practice. He is young and has not been getting enough nutrition in recent years. He needs to be properly conditioned and exercised."

Zhang also showed a worried look when she heard this, "Yes, at his age, your father was already very old, and this child is still... It's really hard for him."

"Don't worry, mother. He is only seventeen. He still has a chance. I will treat him and there will be no problem."

"If you say it's okay, mother will naturally be relieved." Then she saw Qingyu carrying a lot of things from a carriage, "What is this for?"

Li Mulan hurriedly explained, "Oh, those were prepared by Sister Qingyu. They are clothes and quilts. Although we don't have much time left here, you are too thin. I'm afraid you will get sick."

Zhang looked at Qingyu with gratitude, wanting to step forward to help, "Qingyu, thank you for thinking so much about us."

Qingyu dodged Zhang's outstretched hand and said, "Aunt, please chat with Xiaojiu. Leave this to me. If it doesn't work, there's still Yuanruo. How can I let you do it?"

Seeing this, Zhang did not force it, "What a good girl, you think of everything so carefully." I don't know if the marriage is ready yet. She looks to be twenty years old, but she is not married yet?

Li Xi was a little confused when looking at the food box. This was too much. "Mom, you didn't have anything for breakfast. Let's eat together."

When Huo Yuanruo heard this, he immediately asked with concern, "Aunt, didn't you have breakfast?" Then he picked up a food box and handed it to Zhang, "How can you skip breakfast? It's not good for your health, right, little master uncle?"

Li Mulan took the food box with a smile, "What have you prepared?" She was a little dumbfounded when she opened it, "Yuanyuan, who wants to eat roasted chicken and pork elbow so early in the morning?"
