Chapter 208: Traces of the Witch Clan
Li Mulan became interested. "Grandfather went to Aunt Lin's house today? What did he say? Did Minister Lin agree with the relationship between Second Uncle and Aunt Lin?"
"Hehehe..." Li Cong smiled and shook his head, without answering her.
"Oh, Grandfather, please stop keeping me in suspense."
"I guess I agree."
Li Mulan frowned. "What do you mean by agree? Agree means agree, disagree means disagree. How can you say it's agree?"
Thinking of what happened at Minister Lin's house today, Li Cong was helpless. Minister Lin was still polite to him, but when he saw Li Xun, the fire was almost bursting from his eyes. He used whatever he got to fight. Li Xun was also tough. He didn't dodge and took on his father-in-law's anger. Later, it was only when Lin Xuelan ran out to stop it that the farce ended.
Minister Lin threw his sleeves in anger and said that he didn't care and let them do whatever they wanted.
After listening to her grandfather's narration, Li Mulan stroked her chin and asked, "What about Mrs. Lin? What's her attitude?"
"Mrs. Lin is a woman after all, and she is soft-hearted. Seeing her daughter crying like that, she finally gave in."
"That's almost it. Grandfather, you still have to work hard these days and make a few more trips to let Minister Lin know how much our family values Aunt Lin and let him see our sincerity. This matter is basically done."
Li Cong nodded at her helplessly, "You are the only one who is teaching your grandfather how to do things?"
"Hehehe, how dare I, grandfather must have a plan in mind. Oh, it looks like our Taifu Mansion will have a wedding soon, that's great."
Li Cong stroked his beard and was in a good mood.
In the evening, Li Mulan had just returned from Lin Yunfan's house, reeking of alcohol, so she sat in the yard to get some fresh air.
"Sister, Long Yi will be back soon, right?"
Qingyu paused holding the tea, but quickly regained her composure. "According to the time calculation, it should arrive the day after tomorrow."
"When he arrives, ask him to go to Uncle Zhang to check on him. Why hasn't he received any news in so many days?"
"Well, you don't have to worry too much. Didn't the Regent send a message today saying that there was nothing unusual?"
"I know, but I just find it strange. According to Uncle Zhang's working style, it should be...who?" Li Mulan's eyes suddenly became sharp and looked in one direction.
Qingyu pulled out the long whip from her waist and stood in front of Li Mulan in a protective posture.
A dark figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard, "Lei Tian from the Lei Group of Fengyu Pavilion greets the master."
Qingyu glanced at Li Mulan but did not let her guard down.
Fengyu Pavilion collects all kinds of information in the martial arts world. The four groups of Thunder, Wind, Lightning and Rain in the pavilion are the best in the pavilion. However, these people have always been managed by Long Yi. Uncle Zhang occasionally shows up, and they also know him. It was not until this time that Lei Tian was arranged to deliver the news that they knew that their master was someone else.
He didn't show up immediately just now because he wanted to observe more about what kind of person his master was. He didn't expect her reaction to be so sharp.
"Your ID card." Qingyu said expressionlessly.
Lei Tian knelt in front of the person, without even raising his head, he took out a piece of black metal from his arms and handed it over.
Qingyu checked it carefully before handing it to Li Mulan.
Li Mulan was in no mood to care about Lei Tian's thoughts at the moment. She played with the token and slowly said, "Uncle Zhang's letter?"
"Yes." Lei Tian took out the letter and held it high above his head.
Qingyu took the letter and handed it to Li Mulan. Li Mulan read the letter quickly and frowned, "Where is the thing?"
Lei Tian handed over another transparent glass bottle. This time he looked up with a nervous expression, "Master, this thing... is very dangerous."
Li Mulan stared at the small thing in the glass bottle, a small black insect, "It is confirmed to be from the Wu clan."
"Yes."
"Is Uncle Zhang safe?"
"Safe for now."
"What about those people from the Salesian Bureau? Have they been settled?"
"After the court arrived, they made arrangements. Uncle Zhang thought it was a good idea, so he asked the people from the Charity Bureau to follow the court's arrangements, and we will temporarily follow Young Marquis Gu to help."
"Gu Changqing?"
"Yes."
Li Mulan's face was not looking good. She continued to ask, "So many people died. How were their bodies handled? Were they handled as I said before?"
"It was a bit difficult at the beginning. The common people disagreed and kept making a fuss. The court couldn't do anything about it. It was only two days ago when the doctors from the Divine Medicine Valley arrived and listed the hazards one by one that we began to deal with it."
Li Mulan nodded, "Got it, go back and protect Uncle Zhang, don't let him fall into danger."
"Yes, I am resigning."
After the person left, Qingyu was a little unhappy, "Xiaojiu, is this person dissatisfied with you?"
Li Mulan's mood did not change at all. "This is normal. In the past, their leader was Long Yi, and everyone obeyed him. Now that he has been replaced by a young girl, it is normal to have doubts."
"Okay, sister, I won't talk to you for now. I'm going to go find my second senior brother."
"I go with you."
"No, I still have to go to the Regent's Palace after this, you should rest first."
Seeing the person who came back and left, and who didn't come in through the main gate but climbed over the wall, Lin Yunfan frowned tightly. He was just about to wash up, "Did you not eat enough meat or drink enough wine? You climbed over the wall like this? To steal things?"
Li Mulan touched her nose in embarrassment, "Oh, I forgot, I just forgot for a moment. I was looking for my second brother, but he was taking a shower, so I can only wait here."
"What's the hurry? Can't you wait until tomorrow?"
"I can't wait. I'm so anxious. Uncle Zhang just sent me a message saying that traces of the witch tribe were found in Yuanhe City. And," Li Mulan took out the glass bottle from her arms, "this thing was also found. This thing is very dangerous. Many people have been infected. Uncle Zhang said that if we don't deal with it quickly, the natural disaster didn't kill all the people in Yuanhe City, but this thing will."
Lin Yunfan also became serious for a rare moment, "If it's so serious, why didn't you tell the Regent?"
"I guess he should have received the news. I want to let Second Senior Brother confirm this thing first before going over."
Going there so late? Lin Yunfan gritted his teeth, a little disappointed, "Planning to climb over the wall again?"
“Uh… hehe, hehe.”
"You..." Lin Yunfan was about to open his mouth to teach him a lesson when the door was suddenly opened.
Xuanming came in with a dark face and looked at Li Mulan with a sullen expression, "You'd better have something urgent, otherwise..."
Looking at the gloomy face of her second uncle, Li Mulan was also afraid. After all, if he was really angry, he would really deal with her. She had no ability to cure the poison of her second uncle.
"Yes, yes, it's urgent."
Li Mulan obediently handed the glass bottle to Xuanming. Xuanming just glanced at it casually, then immediately took two steps back and asked seriously, "Where did you get this?"
