The little sister is a troublemaker

"Second Uncle, do you like the gift I gave you?" Li Mulan looked at Li Xun with interest.

Li Xun looked a little uncomfortable, "Well, very good."

Li Mulan blinked at Li Xun and said, "As long as Second Uncle likes it."

She picked an exquisite orchid hairpin for Li Xun. She heard her mother's description of her future second aunt, who she had not yet met, that she should be a woman of good character and kindness, so she picked such a gift for her.

"Ahem!" Being teased by his own niece, Li Xun felt a little embarrassed and could only change the subject, "What medicine did Mr. Chu say he gave you just now? Are you injured?"

"It's just a minor injury. Just apply some medicine. Uncle, don't try to change the subject. Tell me, what are you going to do when we return to Kyoto?"

As for Li Xun, she had more contact with him and she liked his personality, so the conversation between them was not like that between uncle and nephew, but more like that between friends.

Li Xun looked at her helplessly, "You have nothing to do, right?"

Li Mulan nodded innocently, "It's really nothing."

Li Xun choked and said, "Then go show it to Fourth Uncle."

"My uncle is much better now. I know everything. It's okay to go later."

Looking at Li Mulan's smiling eyes, Li Xun sighed, "Don't worry about my affairs."

"What? Second uncle is still shy?"

Li Xun glared at her unhappily and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."

Li Mulan's eyes widened. "Second Uncle, what haven't you decided? Have you decided whether to be with Miss Lin?"

Li Xun looked serious, "Of course not, I won't give up, but..." He was so determined back then, he must have hurt other people's feelings, so... Alas.

Inside Li Cong's house.

Chu Chenfeng sat not far from Li Cong's bed, his expression gloomy.

"Master, do you have anything to say to me?"

Li Cong smiled bitterly, "The residence of the Minister of Rites and my residence are related by marriage. My eldest daughter-in-law is Zhang Zheng's concubine's daughter. But..."

Li Cong paused, "Back when my Li family was exiled to Mobei, Zhang Zheng had already announced to the public that he had severed his father-daughter relationship with my eldest daughter-in-law. So, he has nothing to do with our Li family. As for what he wants to do? Who he works for? I am powerless to do anything."

Chu Chenfeng's expression did not change at all. "So, Master Li knows that Zhang Zheng is now on the Prime Minister's side?"

Li Cong nodded, "I've heard of that."

"Heh, I can understand some conflicts in the court due to different political views. But is there really a grudge so big that we need to spend so much manpower and financial resources to wipe out your clan?"

"Sir, you should ask the Prime Minister about this matter, not me."

Chu Chenfeng narrowed his eyes, "The Regent sent an urgent letter, and he just wants to know one thing."

Li Cong raised his head and said, "Sir, please speak."

"What kind of evidence did the Prime Minister have that the Grand Tutor had to kill the entire Li family?"

"I want to talk to the Regent personally about this matter."

Chu Chenfeng nodded, "Okay, I believe the Regent is waiting for the Grand Tutor to speak frankly."

Li Cong's body stiffened. "Thank you for your reminder, Mr.

Chu Chenfeng smiled faintly and said, "I am doing things for the prince, so there is no need to be polite, Master."

"I have another question for you, sir. Can you explain it to me?" The Regent would have someone mention the Minister of Rites's Mansion on his own initiative. There was only one possibility, that is, he was going to take action against the Minister of Rites.

"Taifu, please feel free to speak."

"How is your Highness going to deal with the Minister of Rites' Mansion?

"What? Master, are you still thinking about the old relationship?"

Li Cong shook his head. "No, it's...ah..."

Li Cong didn't know how to start for a moment.

Chu Chenfeng raised his eyes slightly, "Taifu, just speak frankly."

"Okay, then I'll be frank. I don't care how the Regent King deals with the Minister of Rites' Mansion, but if there are two people who are implicated, I'm afraid I'll be uneasy."

"Oh, who is it?

"She is my eldest daughter-in-law's aunt and brother."

"If the Grand Tutor is talking about Zhang Kun, then you can rest assured. He is now a powerful general under the Regent. Although his position is not high, he is still young and has a great chance. As for the concubine, as far as I know, she is gone."

“No…no more?”

Chu Chenfeng nodded.

Li Cong did not continue to ask. The death of a concubine in this wealthy family was not a big deal. Only his eldest daughter-in-law was probably sad. Fortunately, there was still a younger brother...

On the other side, Li Mulan didn't get any interesting information from Li Xun, so she had to leave.

He came over and gave Li Liang a simple checkup, and said happily, "Granduncle is recovering very well. The stitches can be removed in two days."

Li Liang was still lying on his stomach. "This time, it's all thanks to Lan'er. Otherwise, your great uncle would have died here."

"We are all family, why should you be polite to me, great uncle?" Li Mulan packed up the small medicine box and tucked in the quilt for Li Liang.

"Okay, anyway, I'll remember this favor. Lan'er, when you're free, remember to have a plate with your uncle."

Li Mulan looked stiff and depressed. Was there no way this chess issue could be resolved?

"Well, okay, then my great uncle must get better as soon as possible."

Li Liang nodded.

Li Qinghe, who was standing aside, listened to his father talking to his niece without saying a word. He did not interrupt, but his eyes were full of gentleness, and the sadness of the past few days was long gone.

Li Liang did not keep Li Mulan, so he asked Li Qinghe to send her out.

After Li Mulan came out, she happened to run into Huo Yuanruo who was looking for someone, "Yuanyuan, what are you doing?"

"Uncle Junior, have you seen Brother He? I don't think I've seen him all day."

"I really didn't see him. I guess he went out for a walk. Why are you looking for him?"

Huo Yuanruo curled his lips and said, "It's boring. Why didn't he invite me when he went out to play?"

Li Mulan chuckled, "When you went out for a stroll, it seemed that you didn't call anyone."

“I didn’t see him.”

The Senior Brother He they were talking about was currently rummaging through Chu Chenfeng's house like a thief. No one knew what he was looking for, and he was still muttering, "It's impossible that there are no traces at all. I don't believe it. It must be him."

Unexpectedly, Chu Chenfeng happened to come back at this moment.

As soon as he entered the room, he noticed something was wrong and looked at him coldly, "Who?"

Then the palm wind hit in one direction, a figure rushed out, and the two of them started fighting.

After a few moves, Chu Chenfeng recognized the person. He withdrew his hand first and turned around to close the door.

He Tian looked at him with a half-smile, "Brother, you are very clever. I almost didn't recognize you."

Chu Chenfeng's expression did not change, "What are you doing here?"

He Tian immediately got furious, "Why did you ask me to come? Don't you know that I have been here all along, Senior Brother? This is too much. He actually ran away without telling me."

"I'm busy."

"What's the matter?" He Tian stared at his face calmly, "You disguised yourself like this, what do you want to do? The man who has been following you is Xing Yi, right? And that kid Xing Wu, I saw it all, humph."
