The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 122 Return to Li's House

After arriving in the city, Xingyi and his group sent the people back to the old house of the Li family before returning home. Of course, in order to conceal their tracks, they took several detours.

He Tian said hello to Li Mulan and the others, and left. He was alone, and with great skill, he returned to the Regent's Palace earlier than Xing Yi and the others.

Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar Li family gate, Li Cong had a complicated expression. The gold-plated words "Li Mansion" had faded, but it was still clean.

They returned to the old house of the Li family, not the Taifu Mansion. After all, they could not go back for the time being until the imperial edict was issued.

The door of Li's house was suddenly opened from the inside. A white-haired old man opened the door and saw the huge group of people at the door. He was so scared that he took a few steps back.

Those somewhat blurry eyes looked carefully at the person at the door.

It was Li Xun who first recognized him, "Butler Li!"

Li Cong also recognized that this man was indeed the steward of the Li Mansion, Li Er.

Back then, the entire Li family was exiled, and many of the servants in the mansion were loyal and wanted to follow their master to Mobei, but they were all rejected by Li Cong. After he received the news from the court, he returned everyone's indentures and let them go. Only Li Er refused to leave even though he was forced to accept the indentures.

"Two, it's really you."

Li Er followed Li Cong since he was fifteen, and later became the housekeeper of the Li Mansion. He was a few years older than Li Cong. He must have had a hard time these years, his hair had turned a lot white, and he looked very old, and even his eyesight was not very good.

When Li Er heard the familiar voice, he quickly opened the door and trotted out. He knelt down in front of Li Cong and cried, "Master, is that you? You are finally back. I finally waited for you to come back before I died. Wuuuuuuuuu... Master."

The two of them almost cried and hugged each other. Li Yi and others had never seen their father lose his composure like this.

Li Huan and others also came forward and looked at the two of them with tears in their eyes.

"Er, get up quickly. We are back, which is a good thing. Why are you crying? You are making your eldest brother sad." Li Huan wiped his eyes and helped him up.

Li Yi also said with red eyes, "Yes, hurry up and get up. You are standing at the door like this and making a fool of yourself."

Li Er wiped his eyes and looked at the people around him, "Second Master, Third Master, Fifth Master, it's really you all. It's great that you're all here." Then he looked around and asked nervously, "Where's Fourth Master? Why isn't he here? Could it be that Fourth Master..."

"Are you cursing me, old man? I'm not dead yet." Li Liang was supported by Li Qinghe and walked slowly towards him. Although his tone was not so friendly, the smiling corners of his eyes still revealed his good mood at the moment.

When Li Er saw the person coming, he immediately laughed, "Hahaha, it's the Fourth Master, it's the Fourth Master, you're still the same as before, unable to say anything nice, hahahaha..."

Everyone:······

Li Liang:······Who was touched just now? Who was it?

Li Cong looked at his brother's rare stiff expression and felt better. "Okay, don't stay at the door anymore. Go back and pack up. Let's stop today. Tomorrow, we will have a reunion dinner."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother." Li Huan, who had been worried and frightened all the way, now felt completely relieved.

Li Er said nervously, "Master, Second Master, I didn't know you guys were coming back today, and the house hasn't been completely cleaned yet, this..." In fact, he hadn't been in the house for these years, and could only come to see it secretly every day. It was Xing Si, who was still in Kyoto a few days ago, who privately arranged to let people into the house.

Li Cong waved his hand. "Nothing. We have been in Mobei for many years and have done a lot of things. It's no big deal to clean it up."

When Li Er heard this, his eyes became red again. This master had never suffered any hardship since he was a child. He must have had a very difficult life over the years.

Everyone finally returned to a familiar yet unfamiliar place, and with mixed feelings, they each went back to their own courtyards.

The Li family was a large family that had never been divided. At that time, only Li Cong, the Grand Tutor, moved out of the old house, while the other families still lived in different courtyards in the old house. Of course, the courtyard of Li Cong's family was still reserved for them.

Huo Yuanruo looked at the yard full of dead branches and leaves, "Oh my God, Junior Master, are you going to stay here tonight?"

Li Xi was also a little embarrassed. "This was my sister's yard back then. Actually, we didn't live there much back then. We all lived in my parents' yard. Now...it looks like we need to clean it up."

"Clean up? How do I clean it up?" He looked at a crooked tree in the yard and said, "I won't clean it up. I'm going to sleep there tonight."

Li Xi frowned and said, "Brother Huo, you should live in my yard. This is Kyoto, and my sister is a girl after all."

Huo Yuanruo was not a fool who knew nothing. He pouted and asked, "Is there such a big tree in your yard?"

Li Xi smiled. "The tree in my sister's yard and mine was planted together. It's the same species. The one in my sister's yard is growing so well, so the one in my yard should be no worse."

"Okay then." Then he looked at Li Mulan pitifully, "Junior Master, since I don't live in your yard, I won't help you clean. You can just work hard on your own." Then he pulled Li Xi away. Although Li Xi wanted to turn back, he was still forcefully taken away by Huo Yuanruo.

Li Mulan looked at the person who left gracefully, "Tsk, sister, look at Yuanyuan, isn't she becoming more and more outrageous?"

Qingyu was already cleaning the house. There was a well in the yard, which made things much more convenient.

"It's okay. I'm here. You can sit there and rest." Qingyu raised her chin towards a big rock.

Li Mulan was too embarrassed to do so, so she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to help. At this time, the voices of several girls talking could be heard outside the door.

"Sister Fu, is this the yard?"

"Yes, I remember it, it should be correct."

"Let's go in and take a look."

Li Fu and Li Rong came with Li Lian, holding cleaning tools in their hands.

Seeing Li Mulan, he immediately smiled and said, "Sister Lan (Sister Lan), let us help you clean up the yard."

Li Mulan saw them and immediately went to greet them happily. After spending some time together and with the skin care products she gave them, they no longer felt strange as they did at first, but became very close to each other. Especially Xiaolian, who was very attached to Li Mulan.

"Sister Fu, Sister Rong, Sister Lian, have you finished cleaning up the yard? Why are you here?"

Li Fu smiled shyly, "We are not in a hurry, let's help Sister Lan clean up first and then go back to clean up."

Li Mulan was instantly touched, but she couldn't always ask others for help, so she patted her chest and said, "Then let's clean together. After we finish here, we will go to your yards and clean them one by one."

Li Lian held a small rag and clapped her hands happily, "Okay, okay, that's great, let's clean up together." She was a child at heart. It was her first time to come to such a grand and luxurious house, and even though it was covered in dust, the child was still very happy and excited.
