The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 207: Father-in-law beat me

What else could Chu Chenfeng not guess from her expression? He sighed, "Lan'er, go back and take a look. After all, it was chosen by the king himself."

"I'll definitely look at it. I was too anxious just now. I'm sorry." Li Mulan immediately raised her hand to assure.

"It's okay. It's getting late today. You should go back and rest early. Don't worry, I will inform you as soon as I have any new news about Yuanhe City."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Chenfeng's eyes were deep, "Between you and me, there's no need to thank me."

Li Mulan was a little embarrassed, "Okay~"

"Then hurry back. I will watch you return."

Li Mulan felt very uncomfortable with Chu Chenfeng's gentle and considerate side. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. She could only walk away, looking back every few steps.

This regent is weird. He just acts when there are people around. But there is no one around at night. I guess he is cautious by nature. Yeah, cautious.

After comforting herself, Li Mulan regained her mood and went back happily to rest.

The next few days seemed particularly peaceful and nothing special happened.

If there is anything special, it is that Miss Pingting from the Prime Minister's Mansion came to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to make trouble twice, but Zhang was eager to protect her daughter and did not let her know, so she had to endure the two insults. Fortunately, Zhang was not as timid as she was before, so Xu Pingting did not take too much advantage.

She never came again after that. I heard that she was confined to the house by her grandmother.

Two days later, Li Xun did not enter the palace today. They waited for Li Cong to come back from the morning court and then went out.

When I came back...

"Grandfather! Second uncle!"

Li Xi, who had just returned, ran into the two of them at the gate.

Li Cong responded lovingly, "Xi'er is back too?"

"Well, Grandfather, are you guys going out?"

Li Cong nodded, then glanced at Li Xun and went back.

Li Xi saw his grandfather leave and came to Li Xun's side, "Second Uncle, where did you go today? Why didn't you go to the palace?"

Although he was now familiar with the little emperor, he never told him that his second uncle was not going to the palace, so he had to wait for him for a long time in the morning before he left.

Li Xun's face was a little pale, and his walking posture was not quite right. "Oh, I have something to do today."

"Then why didn't you tell me? If I had known you weren't going, I wouldn't have gone today."

Li Xun glanced at him calmly and said, "Without me here, you won't study? There are so many good books in the library, aren't they enough for you to read?"

"I took a look, so I just asked, why are you so fierce?"

Li Xun was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he turned around and left. However, he ran into Li Mulan again after only a few steps.

“Second Uncle!”

Li Xun's expression froze, and he looked a little uncomfortable. "It's Lan'er, why didn't you go to your brothers' place today?"

"I go there every day. I won't go today. I'll stay with my mother."

Li Xun nodded. "Your mother is really hard-working and takes care of the family alone. You should spend more time with her."

"Well, but Uncle, why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell?"

Li Xi walked over slowly and came closer. "Yes, Uncle, you look so bad. Are you taking leave today because you are sick?"

Li Xun coughed awkwardly, "No, I... I have something else to do, so I'll go back first. Xi'er, study hard and don't forget the policy paper I asked you to write yesterday. You have to hand it in to me in five days."

Upon hearing this, Li Xi slumped his shoulders and said dejectedly, "I know, Second Uncle."

Looking at Li Xun's strange walking posture, Li Mulan whispered, "Injured? Where did Second Uncle go?"

"I don't know. I just saw him coming back with my grandfather. He should have gone out with my grandfather."

Li Mulan rolled her eyes and said, "Xi'er, go back and study. I'll go see my grandfather."

Li Xi was completely depressed, "Oh."

Seeing his look, Li Mulan patted his shoulder with amusement, "Let's have barbecue at Sixth Senior Brother's place tonight. Sister will take you with us."

"Really?" Li Xi was refreshed. He felt that his sister's senior brothers were all very nice, as well as Brother Huo, Brother Liu Feng and Brother Tianyu. They were all very nice people and he really enjoyed getting along with them.

"Then you have to go back and complete the mission that your second uncle has assigned to you, otherwise you won't be able to have a peaceful night out."

"Okay, I'll go right away. Sister, please be sure to call me in the evening."

Seeing him walking and retreating anxiously, she said, "Of course, of course, walk carefully and don't fall."

"Know it."

Qingyu on the side looked at him and laughed.

"What are you laughing at, sister?"

"Our Xiaojiu is acting more and more like a big sister."

Li Mulan immediately raised her head proudly, "Of course, I'm very talented and can do anything well, hehehe."

"That's right. When she becomes the regent princess in the future, she will definitely be a princess with graceful manners, dignity and elegance."

Li Mulan's mouth twitched, "Sister has also learned bad habits now, and now she even makes fun of Xiaojiu."

The two of them chatted and laughed and soon arrived at Li Cong's courtyard.

"grandfather!"

Li Cong is taking a walk in the yard at this moment. This is what he does every day. Now his legs are almost as good as those of a normal person, except that he cannot do strenuous exercise.

"Lan'er is here? Come, sit down."

There was a tea set on the stone table in the yard, and it looked like the tea was freshly brewed.

Li Mulan was always more casual with Li Cong. She leaned over to Li Cong and Li Cong nodded. Then she sat opposite Li Mulan and poured her a cup of hot tea. "Why are you here today, Grandfather?"

"Look at what Grandfather said, as if I seldom come here."

"These past few days... there really aren't that many people coming here, right?"

"Oh, I've been out of the house for the past few days. I came back late, and grandfather is arguing with me about this."

Li Cong chuckled and stroked his beard, "Our Lan'er is a very busy man. Grandfather doesn't dare to bother with you. If he really bothers you, you will go out even more every day."

"Hehehe, no way."

Li Mulan took a sip of tea and raised her eyebrows. It tasted familiar.

"Your tea is so precious that I can't bear to give it to others. I drink a small pot for myself every day. Your second uncle and his family don't even have it when they come. Hehehe."

"This tea is good, but the production is too small, alas."

"If the output is too high, it will not be precious."

"That's true. By the way, Grandfather, I just saw that my second uncle seemed to be injured. I heard from Xi'er that he went out with you. What happened? Who hurt him?"

Li Cong shook his head and laughed, "I was wondering why you came to my place, turns out you didn't come to see me on purpose."

"Oh, of course I came to see you specially. By the way, I just came to ask about my second uncle. After all, there are not many people in Kyoto who can not give face to the Taifu Mansion and the Emperor. Could it be the Prime Minister?"

Li Cong shook his head. "Don't worry about it. You can't do anything about it."

"What are you talking about, Grandfather? My second uncle has been bullied, and you won't let me avenge him?"

Li Cong laughed again, "You really can't avenge him. His father-in-law beat him up. How are you going to avenge him?"
