The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 170 Meet My Future Aunt

When Li Mulan and Huo Yuanruo returned to the Li Mansion, they happened to meet Li Xun who was waiting anxiously at the door.

"Second uncle?"

Li Xun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Hum coming back, "You're back." Then he nodded towards Huo Yuanruo.

When Huo Yuanruo saw that the two seemed to have something to say, he had no interest in listening, so he went straight into the mansion to find Li Xi. Today he heard a big piece of gossip that Li Xi definitely didn't know, hehehe, he was going to share it with him.

Li Mulan wanted to warn Huo Yuanruo not to talk nonsense, but he ran too fast. She could only sigh helplessly. Forget it, this matter would be known sooner or later, and it didn't matter if her family knew about it.

"Second uncle, are you waiting?"

Li Xun nodded, "Second Uncle has something to discuss with you."

"Then let's go to my place?"

Li Xun nodded, and the two of them soon arrived at Li Mulan's yard.

Qingyu didn't know what she was saying to Long Yi at the moment. She didn't look very good. Long Yi didn't look very good either. When they saw Li Mulan coming back, they all shut up.

Li Mulan rolled her eyes but didn't ask any more questions. "Sister, make me a pot of tea."

Qingyu went there immediately after hearing that. Li Mulan and Li Xun were sitting in the courtyard, and Long Yi had already left.

Qingyu put the tea on the stone table. Looking at Li Xun's expression, it was obvious that he had something important to discuss. After putting the tea down, she went downstairs.

"Uncle, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Xun saw that everyone had left before he spoke, "Lan'er, do you have a medicine that can make people weak, preferably so weak that they can't get out of bed?"

Seeing Li Mulan's curious face, he added, "But it can't have any harmful effects on the human body. It would be best if... it would be best if the imperial physician couldn't find out what's wrong with it."

"What does Second Uncle need this for? Who is it for?"

Li Xun looked uncomfortable and seemed to be unable to speak.

Li Mulan rarely saw Li Xun like this, and she became even more curious. She didn't rush him, but calmly poured a cup of tea for Li Xun and handed it to him.

Li Xun sighed, "It's for Xi'er."

"Xi'er? Why? What did he do wrong?" Li Mulan widened her eyes. She really didn't expect this.

"Your grandfather and I don't want him to enter the palace, but we can't think of a suitable solution for the time being."

Li Mulan frowned. "If you don't want him to enter the palace, then don't let him go. Why go to so much trouble to do this?"

"Hey, this matter is not as simple as you think. Xi'er can enter the palace to study with the emperor. For others, it is the highest honor and favor. People can't even hope for it. If we don't know what's good for us, it will not only be bad for the Li family, but also for Xi'er herself."

"Then go. Why don't you and grandfather let Xi'er go?"

Li Xun hesitated a little, after all, this was not a glorious thing, but he certainly trusted his niece. Especially Li Mulan was smart and quick-witted, maybe she could come up with other ideas.

Then he told Li Mulan his guess.

Then... Li Mulan looked at Li Xun as if he were a fool, "Second Uncle, you... are thinking too much."

Li Xun was helpless. "It's not that my second uncle thinks too much, but the regent is unfathomable. He can't be so special to Xier for no reason. Your grandfather and I thought about it for a long time, but we can't think of what he can do. But the regent is not interested in women, which is known to most people in the capital, so there is not even a woman in his backyard. Even maids are not allowed to get close to him. So..."

After hearing this, Li Mulan had a better impression of Chu Chenfeng for no reason. Well, he was not bad, at least he didn't have any messy relationships. That gave her a point. This made Li Mulan more determined to keep this marriage for the time being.

"Lan'er? Did you listen to me?" Li Xun became anxious when he saw that Li Mulan didn't respond.

Li Mulan chuckled, slowly poured herself a cup of tea, and took another sip. "I have medicine, but I won't give it to Second Uncle. Xi'er, go to the palace normally, there's nothing to worry about."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, Second Uncle, you're overthinking it. The Prince Regent is not sure what to say to Xi'er..." Li Mulan didn't know how to start. "That's not what he meant. Don't worry."

Li Xun is not so easy to fool, "How did you know?"

Seeing Li Xun's determination to get to the bottom of the matter, Li Mulan did not hide it, because she would know it sooner or later. And now, Li Xi probably already knew it.

"The Regent is special to Xi'er, not because of any messy thoughts. He probably just wants to be nice to Xi'er."

To please his brother-in-law, tsk tsk tsk, I didn't realize that such a lonely and aloof person could do such a thing? It seems that he respects his master very much and has no intention of opposing this marriage.

Li Xun couldn't be dismissed by Li Mulan's few words. He crossed his arms over his chest, looking calm and composed. "Explain it to me clearly."

Li Mulan curled her lips helplessly, "Well, it's not a big deal." She scratched her head, "Second Uncle, you also know that my master has arranged a marriage for me, right?"

Li Xun nodded, then he realized what was going on and his eyes widened, "You... don't tell me that it was Chu Chenfeng that was chosen."

Li Mulan shrugged, "I just confirmed it from my sixth senior brother today."

"This...this..." Li Xun was speechless for a moment. This news was really explosive. "I have to talk to your grandfather and your father. This matter...must...must be discussed carefully."

Li Xuncha stopped drinking and stood up to leave. He came back after a few steps and said, "What about you? What do you think? I remember you seemed very reluctant at the time. So, this marriage..."

Li Mulan's eyes flickered. "I can't say I don't want this marriage, it was arranged by my master. Even if I don't want it, I don't dare to go against him. It would be very miserable."

Li Xun nodded and said, "Let me discuss this with your grandfather first, and then I'll find you."

"Oh."

Li Xun turned around and prepared to leave, but Li Mulan grabbed his sleeve and said, "Second Uncle, why are you in such a hurry? Sit for a while."

Li Mulan handed the tea to him again, "Have some tea first."

Li Xun knew that this girl was waiting for something, so he drank the tea in one gulp and said, "Just tell me what you want to say, don't beat around the bush."

Li Mulan smiled slyly, like a little fox. "Second Uncle, it's been quite a while since you returned to Beijing. Haven't you thought about meeting my future second aunt?"

Li Xun paused, his expression became a little unnatural, his ears turned red, "This is not something you should worry about, why are you joining in the fun?"

"Huh, shouldn't I worry? If I don't worry about it, my second aunt will be heartbroken."
