The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 182 Xu's Support

If Ji's appearance just now shocked everyone, then the arrival of Xu, the wife of the dean of Longming Academy, simply made everyone drop their jaws.

After all, the Xu family rarely attends such banquets. Dean Liu of Longming Academy is the one that all the families want to get close to. But Dean Liu is quite ruthless in his style of doing things, and he likes to act on his own and doesn't give face to anyone.

Ji's face turned pale for a while, but she soon regained her composure, "Madam Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to come today."

Ji's family had a child of school age who wanted to enter Longming Academy. They asked Xu Tian to mediate, but Liu Sheng disagreed, saying that he had seen the child and that his aptitude was average.

If you want to enter Longming Academy, go back and study hard, and get in through your own strength, instead of thinking about taking the back door all day long. At that time, Xu Tian was completely humiliated by what he said, but due to Liu Sheng's status and prestige in the hearts of scholars, he could only swallow this breath. But when he returned, he was very angry with Ji.

Ji still remembers the scene to this day, because that was the only time Xu Tian got angry at her.

Xu greeted the wives of the housekeepers in a generous manner, with a gentle but neither humble nor arrogant attitude, which made everyone dare not underestimate her.

"I didn't expect Madam Xu to be here too. It's been a long time since we last met."

Although Ji was unhappy in her heart, she did a good job of pretending, "Yes, Madam Liu rarely goes out on weekdays, so naturally I don't see her much."

"Hahaha, yeah, looks like I'll have to go out more often in the future."

A lady who looked about the same age as Xu came forward. Her son was also at Longming Academy. "I just heard from Madam Liu that the eldest daughter of the Li family is from Longyan Mountain? Is this true?"

"It's true," Xu walked forward and pulled Li Mulan to her side, scolding, "You've been in Kyoto for so long, and you didn't come to see me, you little heartless person."

Li Mulan naturally knew that Xu came to support her. She had met her twice in Kyoto, although each time she went there was at night.

"There were a lot of things going on at home, so I didn't make it in time. Sister-in-law, please don't be angry with me."

Zhang was very nervous. She knew something about her daughter's affairs, and she also knew who this sister-in-law was. That's why she was nervous.

Xu looked at Zhang, her eyes full of gentleness, "Won't you introduce her to me?"

Li Mulan was a bit troubled. Xu was three years younger than her senior brother and was thirty-seven this year. And her mother, haha, was only thirty-six this year, but this generation...

"Sister-in-law, this is my mother." Then he looked at Zhang, "Mom, this is my senior brother's wife, my eldest sister-in-law, her surname is Xu."

Zhang nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment. What...what would be the appropriate way to address this person?

Xu smiled, "I can't help it. Xiaojiu is the senior of the family. But at your age, I really don't want to... How about I call you Madam Zhang from now on?"

Zhang was also embarrassed, "Then I should call you Madam Xu?"

"Hahaha, that's great, let's talk about our own things."

At this point, the ladies around were all in a frenzy. This girl from the Li family was the junior sister of the dean of Longming Academy? They must have heard it right.

The lady who had just asked the question widened her eyes, "Madam Liu, is this Miss Li really Dean Liu's junior sister?"

Xu smiled and said, "It is absolutely true. As you all know, my husband became a disciple back then. I am not afraid of being laughed at by you. This is the truth. The Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace is so high in status that my husband can become his disciple. This is the proudest thing in his life. And Xiaojiu, the eldest daughter of the Li family, is the youngest disciple accepted by the Palace Master."

"Oh my god, it really is from Lingxiao Palace."

“That…that person I’ve only heard of in rumors. I didn’t expect that Miss Li is so powerful that she could become the disciple of the Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace.”

"I'm so envious. I'm a senior fellow student of Dean Liu. Oh my god, why don't I have such luck?"

······

Ji was very embarrassed at the moment, not knowing what to do. Just now she said that the other person grew up in the mountains and had not received any education. As a result, the other person actually came from Lingxiao Palace in Longyan Mountain. This... was a slap in her face.

No one paid any attention to Ji's face which turned pale and blue, and everyone swarmed around Xu and the others.

No one cared about the Guo mother and daughter who were making a fuss. Zhang Youruo felt pain in her legs and body. She gritted her teeth in anger at Li Mulan, who was like a moon surrounded by stars. Why?

Li Mulan took Xu to a pavilion and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"What? You won't let me come to see you if you don't come to your house?"

Li Mulan immediately hugged the other person's arm coquettishly, "No, I'm just surprised, hehehe."

Xu tapped her forehead and said, "You, today is a happy occasion. Your senior brother specifically asked me to come here. After all, he has been away from Kyoto for so many years, and I am afraid that you will be upset."

"How can I bear this? Didn't you see that guy from the Zhang family? I kicked him away."

"I saw it. Good kick. Make them bring bad luck to you."

Li Mulan smiled. No matter what she did, her sister-in-law would always stand by her side. "Is the senior brother here too?"

"No, I heard that Lao Wu has come. He has been going to Lao Liu's house every day these days. He said that it is rare for fellow apprentices to meet, and he wants to cherish this opportunity."

Li Mulan burst out laughing. She could already imagine how miserable the second, fifth and sixth senior brothers must have been these days. The old monk was chanting sutras, and some of them must have done so. Fortunately, she didn't run into them when she went there.

Xu also shook her head helplessly, "I heard that the fifth brother brought his wife here?"

Speaking of this, Li Mulan immediately became excited, "Yes, she is a great beauty. Sister-in-law, you must go and take a look. I think she should be awake by now."

"I heard from your senior brother that he was poisoned. Is it serious?"

"It's definitely serious, but with Second Brother here, any poison won't be a problem."

Only then did Xu feel relieved and thought about whether she should go there tomorrow. After all, she was a girl, and those grown men knew nothing about her. She should not neglect her.

"Old Five has finally found a place to stay. Your eldest brother can worry less now."

"But the second and sixth brothers are in a terrible situation. You don't know that the eldest brother keeps nagging about it. People like the sixth brother are about to collapse."

Xu could imagine what the situation was like, and shook her head and laughed, "Your senior brother is also strange. He couldn't say a word in the academy for a long time, but in front of you junior brothers and sisters, he is simply a chatterbox."

"What is the status of the eldest senior brother? He is the dean of Longming Academy. He must be serious and sacred. How can he be a chatterbox? He has to maintain his lofty image."

"Hahaha, you, but you are right, your senior brother does care about his reputation."
