100 ways to trick a boy into going to sleep

Chapter 856 Begonia Spring

“Yes, the Emperor originally intended for my brother to divorce the Crown Princess.” Before he could finish speaking, Li Jie noticed that Li Wen was seriously distracted.

She raised her hand and waved it in front of him: "Brother?"

"No problem."

He suppressed his awkward emotions and responded in a deep voice.

Li Jie's attention wasn't on Li Wen to begin with, so he naturally wouldn't notice those small details.

The two followed the gatekeeper's servant and went straight inside.

Having already been tricked once yesterday, Li Jie stood in front of the screen this time and didn't dare to go inside immediately.

"What's wrong?" "Nothing, brother."

Li Jie quietly concealed his awkwardness and gracefully invited Li Wen to go inside first.

This kid rarely showed him such genuine respect.

The weasel paid New Year greetings to the rooster, which was not a good intention.

However, the last time I came here, there was no screen here. This screen was suddenly put up, probably because that person will be here.

He glanced at Li Jie with a cold look, too lazy to argue with him, and strode inside.

Li Shude sat inside alone.

When their eyes met, Li Wen was only momentarily stunned before immediately bowing.

This result was not entirely unexpected.

As for Li Jie, he followed behind in a very respectful manner.

After a few brief pleasantries, Li Wen noticed that Li Shude wasn't in high spirits, so he immediately turned his attention to Li Yin. "Brother, weren't you here with us today?"

Anyone with eyes could see that Li Yin wasn't there, but Li Wen insisted on asking.

Sure enough, the person at the head of the table looked visibly unpleasant!

"My brother is busy with official duties, he didn't do it on purpose." No matter how much Li Jie wanted to poach someone, he was still on the same side as Li Yin, so how could he let Li Wen stir up trouble in front of him!

Unexpectedly, Li Wen casually played with the purple clay teacup in his hand, his laughter low and hoarse, and his eyes held an indescribable "playfulness" as he looked at Li Jie!

“Father is also very busy with official duties, how did he find the time to come to Youzhou to see us brothers?”

Li Jie: …...

It must be said that Li Wen effectively fanned the flames.

Sure enough, the fresh tea in front of someone was quickly emptied. Since Su Sixu wasn't there to serve him, the two brothers took turns pouring him water.

Li Jie secretly rolled his eyes at Li Wen, but he tried his best to speak well of Li Yin and salvage the situation: "We just returned a few days ago. Brother has many things to take care of personally. When it comes to national affairs, family matters must take a backseat. Father certainly doesn't want us princes to only enjoy the benefits of power without doing our best for the country and the people! Second brother, do you think what Sanhu said is right?"

Li Wen raised an eyebrow slightly.

He usually didn't pay any attention to his three younger brothers.

I never expected that Wu Xia A Meng would have such a day. Such insightful words don't sound like something he would say.

but…...

“Brother, you have done your best for the country and the people. However, the Li family of the Great Tang has never had the custom of women not sharing a table. Since you have not yet returned home, where are your wife? Are they in the mansion? Why haven’t we seen them yet? Are they helping out in the kitchen?” With each question he asked, Li Jie’s face grew more and more unpleasant.

Li Wen had only made some guesses initially, but after seeing Li Jie's reaction, he was about 70-80% certain.

"Brother and sister-in-law...were they taken along by my brother to handle some official business? Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Li Wen!"

"Why is Third Brother so agitated?"

He chuckled softly, then his eyes turned cold, and his extremely oppressive gaze fell on Li Jie once more: "In that case, Second Brother of Sanhutong, tell me, for your elder brother, which is more important, your personal family or the greater family?"
