The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 320 Grandfather Comes to Arrange

When Li Mulan arrived at Li Cong's yard, it was very lively.

Old Fenghuang and his fourth great-uncle Li Liang were playing chess, while his grandfather, second uncle and third uncle were all standing by and watching.

Li Mulan came up and greeted everyone one by one, and then looked over, "Oh, Old Phoenix, you are going to lose."

Wu Feng glared, "Watching chess without saying a word."

Li Xun, who was standing by, glanced at her and said, "Are you here for something? Are you looking for your grandfather?"

Li Cong stopped looking at the chess pieces and asked, "Looking for me?"

Li Mulan chuckled twice but said nothing.

Li Cong nodded at her and said, "Let's go to the study."

Wu Feng, who was standing by, glanced at the two of them and said, "Master Li, hurry up, it's your turn next."

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

The grandfather and grandson went to the study together.

"What's the matter? Why didn't you tell me just now?" Li Cong went to get tea leaves and prepared to make tea for Li Mulan.

"Grandfather, stop busying yourself. I just had dinner with my parents and I'm still full. I can't drink any more."

Li Cong didn't bother to be polite with her and said that if she didn't want to drink it, he wouldn't make any more.

Li Cong looked kind and said, "Tell grandpa what happened?"

They are all straightforward people, so Li Mulan said directly, "Lan'er just wanted to ask grandfather, what are your plans for the Minister of Rites' Mansion?"

Li Cong was stunned. He didn't expect Li Mulan to care about this. He sighed and said, "Your grandfather..."

When Li Cong mentioned it, he just shook his head and didn't know what to say.

"I think that grandpa should stop caring about us and clean up the mess as soon as possible. It's just that my uncle's identity is a bit difficult to deal with, and I don't want him to be implicated by the Zhang family."

Li Cong was puzzled, "Why are you so anxious all of a sudden? I didn't hear you say what you were going to do before."

"Today my mother was beaten by someone from the Zhang residence. I didn't ask much, I guess it was that cheap grandmother."

Li Cong frowned, "Is your mother okay?"

"It's not serious, but I just can't stand it. Seeing them still jumping around, I just feel unhappy."

Li Cong shook his head and laughed, "You~"

Li Mulan smiled, "Do I need to be careful about how I phrase things when speaking to my grandfather? Didn't you want to clean up the Minister of Rites' Mansion a long time ago? Why did you wait until now? Is there any use for it?"

"It's useless. In fact, not long after I returned to Kyoto, the Regent sent me some evidence of Zhang Zheng's crimes and asked me to deal with it. I just didn't take any action because I was worried about your uncle. Your uncle is a good boy. There's no need to ruin his future for the Zhang family."

"Then why don't we find a way to get Uncle out of the Zhang family?"

"Leaving the Zhang family? It's not impossible. But... the Zhang family probably won't let him leave so easily. After all, Zhang Zheng only has two sons, and the other one is basically useless. They probably won't be willing to let your uncle leave."

Li Mulan thought for a moment, "Everything depends on human effort. As long as my uncle leaves the Zhang family, grandpa won't have to worry about these things anymore."

Li Cong became interested, "What do you want to do?"

Li Mulan smiled but did not respond. "Grandfather, don't worry about this. I will make the Zhang family expel my uncle themselves, hehehe."

"Haha, you are such a mischievous person. Is this why you came to see grandfather?"

"That's one thing. There's one more thing." Li Mulan sat up straighter. "Grandfather, several of my brothers have arrived in Kyoto and want to visit my home."

Li Cong immediately became excited when he heard this, "Come on, your senior brother used to come to our house frequently a while ago, but he hasn't come in the past two or three days. Is it because all your senior brothers have come? Then where is your master?"

"Not all of them are here. My master hasn't arrived yet either. Currently, only my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, sixth brother and eighth brother are in Kyoto. You know the others, but my third brother and eighth brother have special identities..."

Li Cong stroked his beard and said, "Your master is a hermit and all his disciples are very capable. Your eighth senior brother's grandfather has also heard of him. He is the eldest prince of Southern Xinjiang. Has he also come to Kyoto?"

"Just arrived today."

"Okay, then of course I have to meet him. But your third senior brother, Grandfather has never heard of him. Is there anything special about his identity?"

Li Mulan scratched her head. "As for the identity of my third senior brother, only Master and a few senior brothers have known it all along. Even I just found out about it. He is... the ruler of the Tianlang Nation."

Li Cong stood up suddenly, "What?"

"Oh, Grandfather, please sit down. Don't be so surprised."

It's impossible not to be surprised.

Tianlang State is one of the four great states along with Northern Qi, Simon and Great Chu. Although there has been constant civil unrest in the past few years, the court has been clearly rectified since the current ruler came to power. Li Cong could never have imagined that the ruler of Tianlang State was actually the senior brother of his granddaughter. How could he not be surprised?

"Then he... is here too?"

Li Mulan nodded, "Yes, I am here to attend my wedding."

"This... I heard that the envoy from the Tianlang Kingdom was the young prince. At that time, I felt that it was a great honor for our Great Chu. I didn't expect that the ruler of the Tianlang Kingdom... He actually came in person?"

"Of course it came in secret, no one knows."

Li Cong calmed down and sat down. "Okay, Grandfather knows about this matter and will make the arrangements. Don't worry, the news that your third brother is here will never be leaked."

Li Mulan grinned, "Of course I feel at ease with my grandfather."

"Then what time?" Li Cong looked serious. This was a big deal and had to be properly arranged.

Li Mulan thought for a moment and asked, "How about tomorrow night?"

"Tomorrow night, okay, tomorrow night. Then...Grandfather will go and make arrangements, um, make proper arrangements."

Seeing Li Cong's rare look of bewilderment, Li Mulan smiled and said, "Grandfather, it's just an ordinary family dinner, don't be nervous."

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Well, just do what you need to do, and then... call your second uncle over."

Li Mulan nodded and went out seriously.

Regent's Palace.

Chu Chenfeng slept for half a day and was woken up by Xingyi at dinner time.

Chu Chenfeng had a simple dinner, and Xingyi looked at him hesitantly as if he wanted to say something.

Chu Chenfeng put down his chopsticks, "What's the matter?"

Xing Yi hurriedly took two steps forward, "It's Nanny Qian from the Empress Dowager's palace. She's been here for an hour and wants to see the prince. No matter what we say, she won't leave. At this time... I'm afraid the palace gates will be closed by then."

Chu Chenfeng frowned, "Did she say anything?"

"No."

Chu Chenfeng glanced at him impatiently, "Can't you even handle this?"

Xing Yi was embarrassed. "She is really too old, and she is the old lady next to the Empress Dowager. We can't make it too ugly."

Chu Chenfeng sighed, "Bring it in."

"Yes."
