Chapter 283 Is this child reaching his rebellious stage?
When we returned, it was already completely dark.
"There's one more thing I forgot to tell you."
Li Mulan kicked away the gravel under her feet, "What?"
"The green robe was rescued."
"What? How could that be? Aren't you always being watched?"
His tone was a little anxious, and Chu Chenfeng hurriedly comforted him, "It's okay, I've already gotten the answers to all the questions I need to ask, and this person is of no value anymore."
"But this man has done many evil things. I heard from my second brother that it would be too easy for him to get away..." Suddenly, Li Mulan narrowed her eyes and looked at Chu Chenfeng with ill intentions, "Did you let him go on purpose?"
Chu Chenfeng shook his head and laughed, "Lan'er is indeed very smart."
Li Mulan raised her chin proudly, "Who are you? How could your men make such a mistake? But what do you want to do by letting Lu Pao go?"
A hint of coldness flashed across Chu Chenfeng's face. "How could I possibly keep him if his Wu clan dared to interfere in the affairs of my Great Chu royal family?"
"Green Robe is colluding with King Cheng?"
"Not entirely. My father's death was caused by King Cheng and the Wu Clan."
Hiss! Li Mulan gasped, "How dare the witch tribe do that?"
"Whatever their purpose is, they will have to pay the price."
"Indeed, I have heard from Second Senior Brother about their affairs before. The previous chief of the Wu Clan was quite good. Master even had some friendship with him. How did it become like this when it came to the current chief?"
"Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant."
“Junior Master Uncle!” “Junior Master Uncle!” “Junior Master Uncle!” “Master Sister!”
Huo Yuanruo and his companions had just come out of Li Mulan's tent. They didn't find anyone and were still wondering when they saw two people coming back slowly.
Huo Yuanruo looked unhappy, "Master Junior, we brought you some barbecue, why didn't you rest in the tent and sneak out?"
She was talking to Li Mulan, but her eyes were staring at Chu Chenfeng. It was obvious that she was blaming him for taking the patient away.
Chu Chenfeng looked a little embarrassed. "Well, I asked the Valley Master, and he agreed before I took Lan'er out for a walk."
Li Mulan walked towards Huo Yuanruo speechlessly, "Why are you acting like a fighting cock every day? Stop causing trouble for the prince. What's wrong with me just wanting to go out for a walk? Do I need your permission?"
Huo Yuanruo curled his lips and said, "I am just concerned about you, but good intentions are not rewarded, humph."
She wasn't even married yet but she was already speaking for someone else. Huo Yuanruo became even more dissatisfied with Chu Chenfeng.
There was no way, Liu Feng, Ye Tianyu and the others didn't spend as much time with Li Mulan as he did. Although the two were uncle and nephew, they were of similar age and more like friends, playmates, and siblings.
Li Mulan was injured, Huo Yuanruo blamed himself for not protecting her, and was angry at Chu Chenfeng's subordinates for not doing their job well. In the end, he blamed Chu Chenfeng for all his anger. Now, they are getting married again. Huo Yuanruo can't follow his junior master every day in the future. He feels uncomfortable and dislikes Chu Chenfeng even more.
Li Mulan took a closer look and asked, "What are you roasting? Rabbit?"
Huo Yuanruo handed two rabbit legs wrapped in leaves to Li Mulan with dissatisfaction, "Rabbit, it's still hot, do you want to eat it, Junior Master?"
"Eat, why not? I haven't eaten grilled meat for a long time. I'm craving for it."
Li Xiaoqi came over again, "We still have some wine left, would you like some too, Master Sister?"
Chu Chenfeng hurriedly stopped her, "You can't drink alcohol. She hasn't fully recovered yet. She can eat some roasted rabbit legs."
Li Mulan looked at the wine jug in Li Xiaoqi's hand and swallowed, "Actually, it should be fine if I drink a little bit."
Huo Yuanruo now formed a united front with Chu Chenfeng, "Little Master, stop making trouble. You are still drinking medicine. If Lord Gu finds out, he will definitely skin us alive." Then he glared at Li Xiaoqi, "Why did you take out the wine? Are you trying to tempt Little Master? Put it away quickly."
"Hehehe, my bad, can't I take it?" After saying that, he stuffed the wine bottle into his arms, turned around and left, "I'll drink it myself and come back when I'm done, hahahaha."
Li Mulan glanced at Chu Chenfeng and Huo Yuanruo with resentment, "Without wine, this roasted rabbit leg will taste tasteless."
Qingyu came out of the tent and said, "I made some fruit tea. It can be paired with roasted rabbit legs."
"Yes, there is fruit tea. Isn't this fruit tea made by Sister Qingyu your recipe? It's just right for drinking when eating rabbit legs."
Li Mulan had no choice but to accept her fate.
Liu Feng came forward and asked, "Sister Qingyu, is there any fruit tea for us?"
She smiled softly, "Yes, both."
"Great, let's go, let's go and have some fruit tea." Liu Feng pulled Ye Tianyu towards the tent.
Chu Chenfeng glanced at Li Mulan and said, "You guys drink, I have some things to deal with when I get back."
Li Mulan nodded, "Go and do your work, don't worry about me."
Seeing the two of them reluctant to leave, Huo Yuanruo snorted coldly and took the rabbit leg into the tent.
Li Mulan looked puzzled, "Is this child in his rebellious phase?"
Chu Chenfeng smiled faintly and said nothing, then waved his hand and let her go back.
Li Mulan entered the tent and sat down next to Huo Yuanruo. "Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you lately? Why do you always give me the cold shoulder? Huh? Do you think you're going to heaven because I'm injured and can't take care of you?"
Huo Yuanruo said angrily, "I'm not giving you the cold shoulder."
"Who are you talking to, the Regent? How did he offend you? If you keep talking to him, he won't care about you."
"Humph, that's because he knows he's wrong."
Li Mulan picked up a rabbit leg and took a bite. She was instantly conquered by the tender and fragrant taste. She took two more big bites. She had to say that Huo Yuanruo's barbecue skills were definitely inherited from her.
"Let me tell you something," Li Mulan swallowed her food and drank another sip of fruit tea, "My injury was an accident. You can't blame the Regent. We wanted to follow them to the Chiya Tribe's underground palace. They didn't know about it at all, okay?"
"If they hadn't made the noise, the monster..."
Li Mulan quickly waved her hand to stop him from continuing, and her pair of almond-shaped eyes looked at him so seriously that Huo Yuanruo lowered his head.
"I know, I was wrong. I took my anger out on him on purpose. I just... I just couldn't bear to leave Junior Master. If you marry him, will you not be able to return to Longyan Mountain and play with us? Will we not be able to venture into the martial arts world together?"
As he spoke, Huo Yuanruo's eyes turned red.
Liu Feng and Ye Tianyu looked at her and felt depressed. Although they didn't spend much time with Li Mulan, they often exchanged letters and saw each other every one or two years. If they were lucky, they could live together for a while. In fact, this was the longest time Li Mulan had spent with them. It was understandable that they were reluctant to leave.
