Chapter 317 The older you get, the more unreasonable you become
When Liu Sheng got angry, Dongfang Haotian still felt a little guilty.
But he still felt that his idea was right, "That... Senior Brother, don't get angry." He kindly poured Liu Sheng another cup of hot tea, "At such an old age, it's the most basic thing to stay calm when encountering things, isn't it?"
Liu Sheng took the tea and drank it in one gulp, but he still couldn't help but glared at him, "Don't you listen to what nonsense you are talking about? Divorce, how can you say that? And you still support it, I think you want to go to heaven."
Li Mulan found it funny and even laughed out loud. She felt as if what they were arguing about was not her own business.
Liu Sheng glared at her, and she immediately sat up straight. She decided not to challenge the authority of her senior brother at this time.
Dongfang Haotian also glared at Li Mulan. This girl is really carefree.
"I'm not wrong. If one day, Chu Chenfeng treats Xiaojiu badly, should Xiaojiu bear it? He is the regent of the Great Chu. By then, he will have three wives and four concubines. With Xiaojiu's temper, can she bear it? Although what I said is unpleasant, the possibility of it happening is still very high. You have to admit this, Senior Brother. Moreover, Xiaojiu has been traveling with Master for these years, or she has been getting into trouble and bullying like Old Five. Do you think she can handle being trapped in the harem in the future?"
Li Mulan whispered back, "When did I start causing trouble and bullying others?"
Dongfang Haotian glanced at her. Still pretending? Humph, he knew very well what good things she had done over the years.
After hearing what he said, Liu Sheng also fell silent. He knew that what the third brother said was very likely, but... nothing is perfect, especially for a man of such high status and power. It is too common for him to have three wives and four concubines.
Besides, they can't be prevented from getting married just because of something that hasn't happened yet, right? Alas, these brothers are like old fathers, worrying about them all the time. No wonder Xiaojiu's father is worried every day when he goes to the Taifu Mansion these days. He probably doesn't feel at ease.
Li Mulan saw that the atmosphere was a bit dull and wanted to lighten the mood, "Um... Chu Chenfeng said that he would not take concubines in the future."
Dongfang Haotian snorted coldly, "Men's words are the least trustworthy."
Li Mulan:...You are all men too, okay?
She instantly felt sorry for Chu Chenfeng. Just because he was going to marry her, he was troubled by all of her senior brothers. She immediately felt sorry for him.
"I think he is still trustworthy for now. After all, he hasn't done anything out of line. He is still credible to me."
"So," Xiao Heng, who hadn't said a word the whole time, looked at Li Mulan with burning eyes, "Xiao Jiu, you are willing to get married, right?"
Li Mulan smiled brightly, "Of course, I am willing. If I am not willing, even if the old fox forces me, I can still run away."
When Xiao Heng heard the word "willing", the light in his eyes seemed to go out all of a sudden, and he became particularly...depressed.
But Li Mulan didn't notice it at all. "In fact, you really don't have to worry. Like Senior Brother said, I will get married eventually. If I really want to find someone that every one of you is satisfied with, I guess I won't have to get married in my life. Of course, although I think that's good, but you will probably be anxious at that time. Chu Chenfeng is a really good person from my observation. I won't say much about his excellence, it's boring. Let me talk about how I get along with him these days. He really cares about me. What I like and what I don't like, he remembers it better than I do in just a few months. And he is willing to indulge me in my nonsense and promised to give me the maximum freedom after marriage. Isn't this good? Maybe you will say that no one can predict what will happen in the future. Yes, the future is unknown. Maybe he will really change, but if not, then I won't have picked it up?"
Liu Sheng sighed, "Why think about those things? We, as senior brothers, will be Xiaojiu's backers in the future. If one day, the regent treats Xiaojiu badly, then we...are we vegetarians? Will you, the third senior brother, just sit there and do nothing?"
Dongfang Haotian looked depressed, "I didn't say that."
"That's all right. What are you trying to do by making such a fuss?"
Dongfang Haotian was helpless, "Where did I make a fuss? Wasn't I analyzing the facts?"
"What are you analyzing? What else can you do besides stabbing us brothers in the heart? Why didn't I realize that you are such a timid coward before?"
"Hey? Senior Brother, please don't make such personal attacks."
"Did I say something wrong?"
"I'm just worried, worried, you know?"
Liu Sheng snorted coldly, "You're the only one who's worried. You're the senior brother, and we're not? You're the only one who's close to Xiao Jiu, so we all want to harm him, right?"
"Huh? You are really... Why are you becoming more unreasonable as you get older?"
"Who are you calling unreasonable? You are so rebellious. Don't think I won't beat you up just because you are the emperor. I am your senior brother and I will be your senior brother for life. You bastards have to listen to me."
"We will only listen to you if you are reasonable. If you are unreasonable, we will definitely not listen to you, Second Brother, don't you agree?"
Xuanming was drinking tea the whole time and didn't want to pay any attention to these two people.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Dongfang Haotian looked at Lin Yunfan and Xiao Heng again, "Xiao Liu, Xiao Ba, do you think what Third Senior Brother said is right?"
Lin Yunfan chuckled twice and pretended not to hear it.
Xiao Heng remained silent, as if he had not yet recovered from his loss.
Xuanming glanced at him, his eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing in the end.
The whole room was noisy, but Liu Sheng and Dongfang Haotian had the loudest voices.
Happy times always pass faster, and soon it was getting dark. Li Mulan promised Zhang that she would go back to have dinner with her today, and prepared to leave.
Dongfang Haotian hurriedly said, "Go back and tell your family that we will go visit them tomorrow. After all, they are your relatives, and it would be inappropriate for us brothers not to go and meet them."
Liu Sheng stroked his beard, "You want to go too? Your identity will scare people, they don't even know your identity."
"Nothing, we'll know everything tomorrow."
Xuanming raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you planning to do something shocking again? You came here secretly, aren't you afraid of revealing your whereabouts?"
"It won't be leaked, but Xiaojiu's family still needs to be met. After all, we don't know when we will get together next time."
When everyone heard this, they felt uncomfortable.
Yes, Dongfang Haotian is the king of a country, how can he be as free as them? It is rare for us to be together this time, so we should cherish it.
