The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 82 Zhang's Sorrow

Li Mulan chuckled, "He is your younger brother, right? You are the eldest brother, shouldn't you give in to him?"

"Humph, if I argue with him, I will be so angry that I will die."

At this time, Li Yi also came in, "Dad, I'll carry you out."

Li Cong nodded, "Lan'er, I feel like my legs are getting better. Can I try walking?"

Li Mulan nodded and checked his legs. "You have indeed recovered very well. Don't worry, Grandfather. When it's time to rest, let my father help you walk around."

"Okay, okay." Li Cong smiled and was finally able to get out of bed.

The journey was relatively smooth without any troubles, and we passed the Black Wind Cliff smoothly.

Huo Yuanruo and He Tian rode in the front on horseback to lead the way. Both of them were the talkative type and never stopped talking along the way.

He Tian had a very happy life these days. When he was with his master before, his master ignored him and often hid away. Later, he often went to find his senior brother, but his senior brother was even more cruel and would have him thrown out if he was unhappy.

For so many years, he was not loved by his father and mother. Now he met Huo Yuanruo, who was like-minded with him. He was so happy. Although the two of them were of different generations, they dared to call each other elder brother and younger brother, and they were very warm along the way.

Even Li Xi was a little jealous. In the past, Brother Huo was the closest to him. But since the emergence of Brother He, he has been outshined.

Li Mulan saw this and patted his shoulder, "What's wrong?"

Li Xi felt a little aggrieved. "Nothing. I just envy Brother Huo and Brother He. They can ride horses."

"Seyle can't ride a horse?"

Li Xi's expression became more depressed, and his head drooped, "No."

He was exiled with his family at the age of four and had no chance to learn how to ride a horse.

Li Mulan immediately figured it out and rubbed his head, "It's okay, I'll teach you when I'm free."

Li Xi looked up in surprise, "Really?"

Li Mulan was amused and pinched his face, which had obviously gained a lot of weight. "Is it because I lied to you that you can have candy?"

"Thank you sister."

Seeing how the siblings got along so well, Zhang was happy. It was great that their family could finally be reunited. However, despite being happy, Zhang was still a little sad. She had to go back to Kyoto, and she didn't know how her aunt and brother were doing...

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Li Xi looked at Zhang with some concern.

"What...what happened?" Zhang looked confused.

"Mom, Xi'er has called you several times, what are you thinking about?" Li Mulan naturally noticed that something was wrong with Zhang. She seemed happy just now, but suddenly she looked a little sad.

"Ah, mother... I just thought of something else. What did Xi'er ask me to do?"

"Nothing, my sister just asked me to ride a horse. Once I learn how to ride, I can ride a horse like Brother Huo and the others."

"Okay, okay, then you have to learn it well. In fact, your father and his friends all know how to ride horses, and they are pretty good too. You can ask them to teach you. Your sister is a woman after all."

Li Xi nodded, "That's great, I'll go find dad right away."

As he said this, he opened the curtain of the carriage and jumped out.

Zhang was so frightened that she almost cried out, but fortunately, there were many of them and the team was long, so the carriage was not going very fast.

"This child is too impatient."

"It's normal for boys to be active." In fact, Li Mulan didn't want to stay in the carriage. Seeing Qingyu riding a horse outside the carriage, she also wanted to go out. But Zhang wanted to spend more time with her daughter, and Li Mulan didn't want to refuse her.

Zhang rubbed Li Mulan's head and said, "Lan'er's eyes are so similar to your grandmother's."

"Grandmother?" Li Mulan's eyes rolled and she knew what was wrong with Zhang. "Mother, tell me about my grandmother's family. You haven't mentioned it yet."

Zhang sighed, her brows showing even more sadness, "Hey, your grandfather..."

After listening to what Zhang said, it was no wonder that she was in such a dilemma. This grandparents family was really...

Zhang's name is Zhang Ruomei. She comes from the Minister of Rites' Mansion in Kyoto. She is the concubine daughter of the Minister of Rites Zhang Zheng. She is the ninth concubine of Zhang Zheng. She also has a brother named Zhang Kun, neither of whom is liked by Zhang Zheng, so her life in the mansion is particularly difficult. If Zhang Ruomei had not accidentally met Li Yi from the Imperial Tutor's Mansion, and Li Yi was willing to marry her as his wife, Zhang Zheng probably would not have remembered that he had such a daughter.

Zhang Zheng was naturally very willing to marry Li Taifu, and he was only marrying a concubine's daughter. In the first few years, Zhang's aunt and brother had a good life because of Zhang.

However, the good times did not last long, and the Li family was convicted and exiled. Zhang Zheng was a profit-seeking person. Not only did he not help to plead for mercy, but he also drew a line at this time and severed ties with Zhang Ruomei. He even did not show up when they left Kyoto, showing a very cold attitude.

It was Zhang Kun who came to see her off despite being covered in wounds, and secretly gave the only money he had to Zhang. It was then that Zhang knew that her biological father would be so heartless. Not only did he lock up her mother and not allow her to see her off, but he also beat her brother into this state. Thinking of the situation that day, Zhang burst into tears. So many years have passed, and she doesn't know how her aunt and brother are doing, whether they have suffered...

"Mom, don't worry, we will be able to see our grandmother and uncle when we return to Kyoto this time."

Zhang shook her head sadly. "Later, your uncle secretly sent a letter and some money to you, saying... that your grandfather had taken refuge with the prime minister. This... ah."

Li Mulan knew without listening to what Zhang said that the prime minister must be at odds with her grandfather. This is how it is portrayed on TV, and basically, prime ministers and imperial tutors are not good people. She loved watching Justice Bao when she was a child.

"Hasn't your uncle sent any more letters in the past few years?"

Zhang shook her head. "I haven't received a letter in five years, so I'm worried."

"What did he say in that last letter?"

Zhang recalled, "In the last letter, I think I mentioned that he wanted to join the army. Oh, I don't know what your grandfather was thinking. Why would he agree to let him join the army? Is it easy to be a soldier? And Kun'er is such a good student, wouldn't it be good for him to take the imperial examination?"

Li Mulan did not speak. This uncle gave up literature and turned to martial arts. A lot of things must have happened in the process. Otherwise, he would not have taken such a difficult and dangerous path. Maybe all this was thanks to her good grandfather.

Suddenly, the horses neighed and there was a commotion outside the carriage.

Li Mulan's expression changed and she pulled open the carriage curtain, "Sister?"

Whispering raised his long whip, his face full of murderous aura, "It's someone from the Killer Alliance."
