Chapter 145 Which pot should not be opened?
Li Mulan was chewing an apple while listening to Huo Yuanruo's moving description of how he was bullied by his second uncle. Seeing his angry look, Li Mulan couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.
"So, you didn't do anything, but Second Brother drugged you?"
"Correct!"
Although, maybe his defensive behavior really hurt his respected Second Uncle, but, this can't be a reason for him to poison him. What kind of hatred or grudge is this? Why is he so cruel?
"Alright, alright, come with me tonight and see if we can combine our strength to make Second Senior Brother suffer a loss?"
When Huo Yuanruo heard this, he became cowardly again, "I won't go, Junior Master, you go."
Li Mulan snorted coldly, "Aren't you very angry and aggrieved? Why don't you go?"
"I'm just complaining to you. If I go and provoke Second Master, I'll be courting death. I won't go."
"You're not stupid, Yuanyuan. That's why we have to know ourselves. Why bother to go through so much trouble when we know we can't win? We have to swallow this bitter pill."
Huo Yuanruo felt very aggrieved, "Then why am I always the one who suffers the consequences?"
Li Mulan paused while chewing the apple. Why? Of course, it was because Second Senior Brother couldn't bear to punish me, so he had to find someone to vent his anger on. Poor Yuan Yuan, why didn't he understand until today?
Li Mulan suddenly felt guilty. "Didn't you say last time that you really liked the pair of meteor hammers given to me by Third Senior Brother? I thought about it and realized that it really doesn't suit my temperament. I'll give it to you when we get back to the mountain."
Huo Yuanruo's eyes widened in disbelief, "Little Master, are you serious?"
Li Mulan raised her head proudly, "When have I ever lied to you?"
"You always lie to me."
"Ahem..." Li Mulan almost choked to death after taking a bite of apple. "That was in the past. I won't lie to you this time. Don't worry."
Huo Yuanruo didn't feel wronged anymore. That was something given by his Third Uncle-Master. It was good. Hehehe, he finally got something by tricking him. Liu Feng was right. He had to act pitiful.
"By the way, Liu Feng is still being held at home by Master Uncle. He asked me to tell you to go and rescue him as soon as possible."
Li Mulan was helpless. "He has made up his mind this time. He wants to join the Ministry of Justice? He won't change it?"
Huo Yuanruo stroked his chin, as if thinking seriously, "I think he is serious this time. You know him. He is most afraid of the master uncle. In the past, no matter what he wanted to do, he would stop as soon as the master uncle glared at him. This time is different. He has been scolded and beaten, but he is still stubborn."
"Okay then. I'll go there tomorrow night and talk to him again. If he really wants to make up his mind, I will definitely support him."
"Our junior master is really open-minded." Huo Yuanruo immediately gave Li Mulan a thumbs up.
"Of course, who am I?"
In the evening, Li Mulan took Qingyu to her sixth brother's mansion, but Huo Yuanruo refused to go, saying that he was exhausted from diarrhea. The happiest person was Li Xi, who could finally play with Brother Huo again.
Xuanming and Lin Yunfan are already waiting at this moment. Lin Yunfan has asked the servants to prepare many dishes that Li Mulan likes, and is ready to have a good meal with his little junior sister. The last time they met was in the first half of last year. This girl is so cruel that she didn't even visit him in the past year and a half.
"Wow, Sixth Brother, your house is so magnificent."
A familiar voice sounded, and Lin Yunfan walked out of the house with a smile on his face, "You're not going through the front door."
Li Mulan changed into a black dress with a bright red collar and cuffs, and a red belt, making her look particularly delicate and lively.
"The two huge stone lions at the gate of your house are so attractive. People who come and go like to take a look. I'd better keep a low profile. I climbed over the wall from the backyard and walked around the garden. But you have to say, wow, wow, it's worthy of being the richest man's family. It's really generous."
Lin Yunfan waved the folding fan in his hand, "What did you like? Sixth Senior Brother will give it to you."
Li Mulan immediately waved her hand, "Those exquisite things of yours are not suitable for me. I just appreciate them."
"You." Lin Yunfan nodded at him and nodded to the whisper behind her, "Come in, Second Senior Brother is waiting for you."
Xuanming was sitting there calmly drinking tea, with no expression on his face, looking as if he was keeping people at a distance.
But Li Mulan was not afraid of his icy face and greeted him warmly, "Second Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you miss Xiaojiu?"
Xuanming raised his eyes and looked Li Mulan up and down. Today's outfit was particularly good, and she looked bright and energetic. "You have grown taller, and really look like an adult. No wonder Master arranged a marriage for you."
Li Mulan was stunned, and the smile on her face was a little hard to hold. "Why are you talking about something that is not relevant? Second Brother, don't you want to see me?"
Xuan Ming put down the cup in his hand gracefully, "Not really, I just saw you were so happy, I was afraid you would forget about it."
Li Mulan pouted, "You just can't stand seeing me happy. Second Brother, this is a disease, it needs to be treated."
Lin Yunfan was used to the way the two got along with each other and was no longer surprised. He asked Qingyu to sit down as well. After following Xiaojiu for so many years, he had already regarded this taciturn girl as his own.
"I've prepared your favorite dishes. Have dinner later before leaving."
"That's great. Senior Brother Six's food must suit my taste best."
Xuan Ming raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you suffered a lot when you were with me before?"
In the past, when this girl was in his territory, he often cooked the meals himself. He was like his master, he liked quietness, there was no servant in his house, and it was also in the deep mountains and forests, there was no village in front and no shop behind, and he had to walk a long way to go out to eat.
Li Mulan looked at Xuanming with complicated eyes, and her meaning was very clear, "Second Brother, is what you made really for human consumption?"
Xuanming had a blank expression on his face. "Haven't I been eating this for so many years?"
"So," Li Mulan gave him a thumbs up, "You are this!"
"Hmph!" Xuanming didn't want to argue with this girl anymore and was angry.
Lin Yunfan tapped the girl's head with his folding fan and said, "Don't be ungrateful for what you have. None of us brothers have ever eaten the food cooked by Second Senior Brother."
Li Mulan's eyes widened as she quickly pulled Lin Yunfan's arm, "Sixth Senior Brother, how can you be so depressed that you still want to eat the food cooked by Second Senior Brother?"
“Hahahaha…” Lin Yunfan looked at Xuan Ming, whose face had begun to darken, and quickly interrupted him, “Okay, stop talking nonsense. Sit down. Let’s just chat. How have you been lately?”
Li Mulan sighed. She had to explain things to her two senior brothers again. She had just explained things to her eldest brother and sister-in-law a few days ago.
Xuan Ming looked at her and said unhappily, "Big Brother has already told us about your family affairs. Since you have recognized them as your family, we naturally have no objection. If there is a chance, bring them to meet."
