The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 156 Don't push me too far

"That's more like it, that's how it should be, young people should be more energetic. Life is only a few decades long, so you have to live it to your heart's content, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time to come to this world and suffer in this life?"

"Hahaha, Sister Lan always talks so interestingly."

"Then do you think it makes sense?"

Chu Jie thought about it seriously and said, "Come to think of it, it is true. Sister is really insightful."

"That's it."

The two of them drank tea and chatted, and time passed very quickly. Then someone came from the main courtyard and asked them to come over for dinner.

At this time, Long Yi appeared. When Li Mulan saw him, her good mood suddenly disappeared by half. She snorted coldly, turned her head and said to Chu Jie, "Xiao Jie, go to the main courtyard first. I have something to deal with. I will come over later."

Chu Jie looked at Long Yi in confusion. How could there be a stranger in his sister's yard? Although he was nine years old, how could others compare with him?

Seeing that he didn't move, Li Mulan explained a few more words, "Be obedient and go over first. This is my subordinate. If you have anything to report to me, I'll be there in a moment."

Chu Jie listened to Li Mulan's soothing words, and his ears instantly turned red. His sister was coaxing him like a child. Then he could only leave, looking back every few steps.

After Chu Jie left, Li Mulan still sat there and didn't even look at Long Yi.

Long Yi naturally knew that Li Mulan was still angry, so he said carefully, "Master."

"explain."

"I have already found out that the mastermind behind the assassination of the Regent is from Jiangnan, but Jian Qi doesn't know his specific identity. They are all assassins trained by that person to clear obstacles for him. Every time someone comes to give orders, it is a man who looks like a butler."

"Jiangnan? Jiangnan..." Isn't that King Cheng's territory? Li Mulan looked at him, cynical but not a fool who knew nothing.

Seeing that Li Mulan was thinking, Long Yi did not disturb her.

"What are your brother's plans next?"

Long Yi's expression was somewhat moved. "My brother has been rebellious since he was young, and he likes to go against me. After this incident, he has become much better. I wonder if the master... is willing to take him in?"

Li Mulan glanced at him and said, "You alone can cause me such a big mess, and now your brother is also here. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Long Yi knelt on one knee, "It's my fault, I hope the master won't take his anger out on me, Jian Qi, and give him a chance."

"No," Li Mulan was a little speechless, "Since he has thought it through, he should just live a good life in the future and stop killing people. This can be considered as turning from darkness to light, and the future will be a bright road. Why does he have to follow me? I don't have anyone for him to kill. If I really have an enemy, I will do it myself."

"Then... the master also needs someone to run errands. Uncle Zhang needs to help you deal with so many things, and it is impossible for him to be with you all the time. You can leave Jian Qi behind, and he can help you run errands in the future."

"Haha, you're here to steal Yuanyuan's job." Li Mulan looked at Qingyu with amusement, and Qingyu also laughed.

Long Yi pursed his lips and said nothing more.

"Okay, I'll think about this again. Let him recover here first."

“······Yes.” Since he was not killed with one blow, it means there is still a chance.

Seeing that he didn't leave, Li Mulan looked up in confusion, "Anything else?"

Long Yi looked a little uncomfortable, "I have something else I would like to ask for your help."

Li Mulan raised her eyelids and looked at Long Yi in disbelief, "Don't push me too far, kid. My patience is limited, and I have a temper."

“I dare not, but this matter... I really have no other choice, so... so..."

Li Mulan took two deep breaths, trying to calm herself down, and said, "Speak."

"Jian Qi failed in this mission. His original master will probably not let him go. To avoid trouble, can we let the Regent Palace send out a message that all the assassins have been killed and no one is left alive? In this way...Jian Qi can truly change his appearance and become a new person."

Li Mulan smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "I was wondering, why do you have to follow me? It seems you are waiting for me here. Long Yi, do you think that I am your master so powerful that I can influence the decision of the regent?"

Long Yi said anxiously, "No, Master. I remember that the Regent said at that time that he didn't care about Jian Qi's life. He just wanted to know the person behind the scenes. Now, Jian Qi has confessed everything he knows. The Regent is even less interested in his life, so..."

"Then? What do you mean by that? Why would they help you? That's the Regent. Who is he? How could he be persuaded by just a few words from me to help you spread such news? Do you overestimate your master?"

"But that day, I saw that the regent seemed to be... quite respectful to the master."

"What respect do you have? It's because of my grandfather's face. Besides, they are just small things. It won't affect any results. Of course, they are willing to do a favor."

"Then it will be a piece of cake this time..."

Li Mulan had nothing to say. No matter how easy it was, he was still the Regent. What the hell were you dreaming of?

Qingyu hurried to comfort him upon seeing this, "Okay, we're urged to have dinner, let's talk about this next time."

When Long Yi heard Qingyu say this, he did not insist. He glanced at Qingyu and left.

Li Mulan was furious as she watched the figure leave gracefully. "Sister, do you think Long Yi is becoming less and less concerned about me? Look at what he asked for."

"He thinks Xiaojiu is powerful and can handle it."

"I really want to thank him, the regent..." Li Mulan paused, "I always felt that he was not an easy person to talk to, but he gave me face again and again. I was panicking."

Qingyu laughed, "Is Xiaojiu scared?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, I just don't know what they are planning against you."

"I don't know what the regent is like, but the servant next to Xiaojie just now... Xiaojiu didn't notice anything?"

"A servant?" Li Mulan thought about it seriously, "A bit sissy."

"He's a eunuch."

Li Mulan was shocked, "Eunuch?"

She really didn't expect this. After all, she had never seen a eunuch in her two lifetimes and had only seen him on TV.

Although her eighth senior brother Xiao Heng was also a member of the royal family and the eldest son of the Queen of Southern Xinjiang, and she had been there several times, there seemed to be no eunuchs in the palace. Was it because it was not popular in Southern Xinjiang to employ such inhumane... servants as eunuchs?

"I observed and found that he was indeed a eunuch."

Li Mulan touched her chin, "That's strange. The servant following Xiaojie is a eunuch. Then Xiaojie's identity..." The answers to everything seemed to be revealed.

Li Mulan's eyes flickered. If that was the case, she could understand why her grandfather and the others behaved inappropriately today...
