Chapter 104 I don't want to sit in that seat for a whole day
Li Mulan pinched the little girl's cheeks and said, "Sister has finished her walk and is about to go back."
Li Lian felt a little disappointed for a moment, "Ah... then we can walk another circle."
Li Fu pulled the little girl's hand and said, "Lian'er, stop making trouble. Your sister Lan must be busy with something. You can't disturb her."
"Oh, okay, I won't disturb Sister Lan from doing her work. Daddy said that Sister Lan is different from other girls. She is someone who can do great things." Then he tilted his head and looked at Li Mulan, "Sister Lan, what is a great thing? Are you going to work in the mines like Daddy and the others?"
Li Fu tapped Li Lian's little head gently, "Why do you have so many questions?" Then she looked at Li Mulan apologetically, "Lan... Sister Lan, don't mind it, children just talk a lot."
Li Mulan naturally took Li Fu's hand and said, "Sister Fu, you are being too polite. Lian'er is also my sister. Why should I mind it? Besides, our Lian'er is so well-behaved and cute, isn't she, Lian'er?"
Li Lian smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits, "Well, Lian'er is the most obedient."
The two sisters were dressed simply. Although the clothes were new, they were both too thin to support the clothes, making them look a little empty. There were no hair accessories on their heads.
Li Mulan looked at Li Fu and said, "Sister Fu, we sisters haven't had a good conversation yet. It just so happens that we are leaving the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, see if you are free and call Sister Rong'er from the fifth room. Let's go out together and talk."
When Li Lian heard this, she immediately jumped and clapped her hands, "Great, great, Lian'er wants to go, Lian'er wants to go too."
Li Fu seemed a little hesitant. She was used to being cautious and looked down upon by others, so she seemed to have too low self-esteem. Li Mulan patted the back of her hand and said, "Sister Fu, you can't refuse me, or I will be sad."
Li Fu then said, "Okay...Okay, then I'll ask Rong'er to come look for you tomorrow?"
"Okay, then Lan'er will wait for Sister Fu tomorrow?"
"And me, and me." Li Lian inserted himself between the two of them, trying to make his presence felt.
"Yes, yes, and our most adorable sister Lian'er."
Li Lian smiled again immediately. Children are so easily satisfied. They can be happy for a long time just by a casual compliment.
After returning to her room, Li Mulan took out the box of banknotes Lei Yi had given her and said, "Sister, please go with us tomorrow."
Qingyu came over and handed Li Mulan a cup of warm water. "Are you going to buy things for those sisters?"
Li Mulan drank it all in one gulp. "Well, the Kyoto area, especially the officials, are used to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. They are very powerful. Let's go and have a look and buy some decent ones. We can't let them be looked down upon as soon as they return."
"I didn't think it through. I only prepared some daily clothes and didn't expect these."
"How can you blame me, sister? You've been thoughtful enough. Even grandfather has praised you several times in front of me and asked me to thank you." Li Mulan took Qingyu's hand and shook it flatteringly, "I said it. Sister is one of us. It's inappropriate to thank you."
Qingyu couldn't stand Li Mulan's coquettish look, "You, this little mouth of yours can deceive people to death."
"No way, I'm telling the truth."
Qingyu tapped her forehead and said, "Then we have to prepare for the other female relatives as well. Fortunately, I have the sizes. There is also an old lady in the second house, so we have to prepare something else."
Li Mulan nodded and whispered that she was talking about Li Huan’s first wife. She had worked hard in Mobei for more than ten years and her health had not been very good, but... She was the only old lady still alive in the Li family. Even her grandmother...
"Oh, by the way, sister. We are leaving the day after tomorrow. It will probably take less than three days for us to pass the canyon where I had the accident. My grandmother is buried there. Grandfather and my father will definitely take my grandmother back. I don't know much about this. Do I need to prepare anything?"
Qingyu was also a little troubled. She had never dealt with such a matter before. "I will go ask tomorrow. Uncle Zhang should be here in the next two days. He is knowledgeable and must know the answer."
Li Mulan felt relieved instantly, but then she asked in confusion, "We left marks along the way. According to the time calculation, we should have arrived yesterday."
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhang is very reliable. I guess he was delayed by something."
"Well, let Yuan Ruo go and take a look if it's not tomorrow."
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go to bed early."
"Sister, please go to bed early."
On the other side of the inn, in Chu Chenfeng's room, the atmosphere was very strange.
Xingyi knelt in the house with his head lowered. Even He Tian beside him didn't dare to breathe heavily.
Chu Chenfeng looked at the man kneeling on the ground with dangerous eyes, "You have been with me for so many years, and you still made such a mistake?"
"It was my negligence. Please punish me, Master."
Chu Chenfeng threw the letter in his hand onto the table and said, "Send the message back and ask Xing Si to go to Jiangnan in person and make sure the matter is handled properly. Otherwise, you will be beheaded."
"Yes, this subordinate..."
"Also, let Gu Changqing follow the emperor closely. If anything goes wrong again, humph."
"Yes, I will immediately arrange for another investigation of Kyoto and will definitely catch all those evil spirits."
Chu Chenfeng frowned slightly and tapped the table with his fingers. The sound made the two people in the room feel their hearts tighten unconsciously.
"My lord, do you have any other orders?"
"Keep an eye on Xu Tian. I want to know all his movements during this period, no matter how big or small."
Xingyi's body stiffened, "Yes."
Chu Chenfeng raised his eyelids slightly, "When we return to Kyoto, go to the Punishment Hall and receive a hundred lashes."
Xing Yi heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."
Watching Xingyi leave trembling with fear, He Tian sighed, "Brother, you are too ruthless. Xingyi has been with you for so many years."
"That's why I can't accept him making such a low-level mistake."
"Hey, then...is the little emperor okay?"
"Near miss."
"Tsk, this is also your fault. You had to give him the position so early. Couldn't you wait until he was older?"
Chu Chenfeng's eyes flashed with disgust, "I don't want to sit in that seat for a whole day."
He Tian shook his head helplessly, "You, just like Master said, find a secret valley where no one can find you, build a thatched hut, and you can live out your life there. I really don't understand, is there nothing in this world that interests you? Will you immediately withdraw from the world once the little emperor is able to take charge of his own affairs?"
"No way?" Chu Chenfeng's expression was calm, like a monk with no desires or requests.
He Tian jumped up immediately, "No, of course not. You can abandon me, Master, and the little emperor? Besides, you have a fiancée now, this is too irresponsible."
