The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 171 Pleasing to the eyes

Li Xun was a little anxious when he heard this. "What do you mean? Do you know something?"

Li Mulan felt better when she saw her second uncle's anxious look. "I've been letting you dawdle. Now you must be anxious."

Seeing that she was still drinking tea calmly, Li Xun used his finger to scratch her forehead and said, "Don't keep me in suspense."

Li Mulan rolled her eyes and said, "I thought Second Uncle wasn't in a hurry."

Li Xun smiled bitterly, "How can I not be anxious, it's just...ah."

He didn't dare to go. He didn't expect that he, Li Xun, would end up like this today and be afraid sometimes.

Li Mulan smiled and said, "Second Uncle wouldn't dare to go, right?"

Li Xun was very embarrassed and shook his head helplessly, "Okay, you just want to laugh at me. Tell your second uncle quickly, what news did you hear?"

Seeing that he was really anxious, Li Mulan stopped teasing him and said, "I met my future second aunt yesterday. I have to say, second uncle, you have good taste. I didn't expect that my future second aunt is such a beauty."

Li Xun's eyes widened in disbelief. "What happened? Did you see him? How did you see him? Why didn't you tell me?"

Seeing that he asked so many questions at once, Li Mulan teased, "I saw that Second Uncle didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, so I didn't tell you."

“You…you…” Li Xun pointed at her, not knowing what to say. Finally, he gave in. “It’s my fault…”

"It was Uncle Second's fault in the first place. You've been back for so many days, but you didn't go to see Aunt Lin. You don't know how sad she is."

"Does she...seem okay?" Li Xun's throat was choked, and he felt bitter in his heart.

"No, she has waited for you for so many years and finally saw you return to Kyoto, but you left her alone. Do you think she will feel good about it?"

"I didn't mean to leave her alone. I just didn't know how to face her, and I didn't know whether her family would agree..."

Li Mulan put her hands on her hips and looked like she was disappointed with her husband. "Second uncle, what do you mean by this? Are you going to give up just because Aunt Lin's family disagrees? Then you'd be so sorry for Aunt Lin's years of waiting. How much pressure does a woman have to endure? She's been waiting for you for more than ten years. How many decades do you have in a lifetime? Are you going to back down just because of this little bit of pressure? Second uncle, please don't let me, your niece, look down on you. If that's the case, you're not worthy of Aunt Lin, a woman who can feel love and dare to hate."

Li Xun was speechless. "When did I say I was giving up? You've been talking so much, have you ever given me a chance to speak?"

Li Mulan coughed lightly, "Then...then tell me, what are your plans?"

"Go visit Minister Lin first."

Li Mulan's mouth twitched. Her second uncle was really stubborn. He was not afraid of being beaten out by Lord Lin. He made his daughter wait for more than ten years without getting married. Which father would not be angry?

"Why don't you meet Aunt Lin first?"

Li Xun shook his head. "I have already damaged her reputation. It is not right for us to meet in private. I will meet Xue Lan again after I get the forgiveness of Lord and Madam Lin."

Li Mulan swallowed and said, "There's no need to be so rigid. We can be flexible."

Li Xun was very determined, "I have already told your grandfather that he will go with me to show his respect."

"Oh, that's fine too. Aunt Lin will definitely be happy when she finds out. Don't worry, Uncle. I've made an appointment with Aunt Lin to go to the temple to burn incense the day after tomorrow. I'll bring Sister Fu and the others along to help you speak well of them."

Li Xun was a little nervous, "You asked her out? Is she willing?"

Li Mulan raised her head proudly, "It was Aunt Lin who invited me. We had lunch together yesterday."

Li Xun clenched his fists nervously, "Did she say anything?"

"Haha, Uncle, don't worry. Aunt Lin's love for you is known to all. Although she misunderstood at first and thought that Uncle didn't want to continue their relationship with her, she was a little sad. But I have explained it to Uncle, and she understood Uncle's thoughts and is in a much better mood. Now, she is probably waiting for Uncle to come."

Li Xun's cheeks flushed rarely, "That's good, that's good." His hand unconsciously touched his chest, where the hairpin for Lin Xuelan was placed. He wore it every day.

Li Mulan understood, "Yes, Uncle has not given away the gifts he gave to others yet. Do you want me, your niece, to help you?"

"Well, no need. I'll give it to her in person next time we meet."

Li Mulan smiled at the elder who was rarely shy, "Well, that's fine. Giving it in person will show your sincerity."

"Well, that's enough. I'll go see your grandfather first." Li Xun was so embarrassed by being teased by his own niece that he left as if escaping after he finished speaking.

Looking at Li Xun's leaving back, Li Mulan shook her head in amusement. It was amazing that her second uncle could also be so abnormal at times.

Just as she was thinking, Qingyu came over. She had been in the house just now, but she heard everything that was said in the yard clearly. She didn't care about Li Xun's affairs, but she was a little worried about the marriage of this girl. "What is the regent, what is Xiaojiu's plan?"

Li Mulan stretched lazily, "At first I definitely wanted to cancel the engagement, but now, let's just put it off for now."

Whisper frowned, "Drag?"

"Well, let's put it off for now. Sister knows that I have never thought about getting married, but now that I have a family, even if the old fox doesn't arrange such a marriage for me, my family will definitely arrange it. Now, with a marriage in front of me, I can have some peace and quiet."

Qingyu frowned, "But this is not a long-term solution. Especially since the Regent is not someone you can easily mess with. However, from what I heard just now, he seems to be satisfied with this marriage?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to please his future brother-in-law for no reason. Qingyu found it hard to imagine how he could do that for such a powerful person.

Li Mulan looked a little uncomfortable, "Maybe."

"Then if he wants this marriage, you..."

Li Mulan scratched her head in annoyance. "Well, let's talk about it later. I haven't thought about it yet."

Qingyu laughed, "This question is difficult, but it is also simple. It depends on what Xiaojiu thinks of the Regent."

"Ideas? What ideas could I have?"

Qingyu found her puzzled expression somewhat amusing. She was completely clueless. "Well~ Putting aside the engagement, objectively speaking, what do you think of this regent?"

Li Mulan held her chin with both hands and thought seriously, "She is pretty."

This was the first time in her life that she had met someone so good-looking. She said good-looking, and she really was good-looking. The eyebrows, the eyes, the nose, all met her aesthetic standards. If she could see them every day, it would be really pleasing to the eye.

Qingyu's expression froze. Such a powerful person, could it be that Xiaojiu only saw his superficial appearance?
