“Xiao Liu, why do you keep staring at me today?” Since the morning, Cheng Qi felt that the way Xiao Liu looked at him was frightening, so he finally couldn’t help but ask.
Xiao Liu glanced at the young master’s room, and when he saw that the door was closed, he moved towards Cheng Qi, “Did something happen last night?”
He had clearly watched the young madam sleeping with him last night, but when he woke up this morning, he found that the person was missing and finally came out of the young master’s room. Xiao Liu looked at Cheng Qi with a teasing look in his eyes, wanting to know which of the two would reveal something first.
“Last night?” Cheng Qi felt guilty after being asked, his eyes moving around.
He followed the young master for a walk last night. It seemed he had seen something he shouldn’t have and heard something terrible. “No… the young master and I stayed in the room last night and didn’t go anywhere else.”
“You took the initiative to find the young master?” Xiao Liu said with excitement. Of course, he knew that the young master and the young madam had been in the room all night; otherwise, where would they have gone in the middle of the night?
Cheng Qi thought that it was indeed him who went out to find Li Tianyan, so he nodded, “Yes.”
Xiao Liu was truly impressed by his young madam when he heard this, but that was fine, some things had to be fought for oneself. “Young madam, please work harder and give birth to a son for the young master as soon as possible.”
“Husband, I want to give you another son.”
Hearing Xiao Liu’s words, Cheng Qi recalled an enchanting voice inexplicably in his mind. The female voice trembled involuntarily, but he finally understood the meaning of his words, and blood immediately rushed to the top of his forehead.
“No, Xiao Liu, it’s not what you think.” The scenes he saw last night suddenly floated in front of his eyes, and he couldn’t stop it. Cheng Qi was so frightened that he couldn’t speak clearly.
But before he had time to explain to Xiao Liu, the two heard an old woman’s voice coming from outside the courtyard gate.
.
“Why is there not even a servant in Qingzhu Courtyard to look after the gate? It’s really outrageous.” After arriving here, Grandma Cai looked at the deserted Qingzhu Courtyard in front of her, feeling even more contented.
The third young master was having a hard time now. She believed as long as the old madam gave him some benefits, he would be able to survive and get close with the old madam.
Li Wu saw the person coming and recognized her as the old maid beside the old madam. He immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, “Grandma Cai, why are you here? It’s because I’m not doing things right, please don’t blame us.”
“You are quite clever, little boy.” Grandma Cai glanced at Li Wu and then said, “Where is your young master?”
“The young master is in the room; I will invite him now.” Li Wu did not dare to say more. After saying this, he quickly walked to the door of the young master’s room. Before he could open the door, the door opened from the inside.
“Grandma Cai is looking for me?” Although Li Tianyan was in the room, he was fully aware of the movements in Qingzhu Courtyard.
Looking at the old woman standing at the door of the courtyard, Li Tianyan’s eyes flashed with a dark light. He didn’t know what that woman Duan Qin wanted to do. Could it be that his whereabouts were exposed last night.
“Third young master, the old madam invites you to come to Taiqing Courtyard.” When facing Li Tianyan, Grandma Cai showed a rare smile on her face, and her old face suddenly looked kinder.
When Cheng Qi heard that the old madam wanted Li Tianyan to go to Taiqing Courtyard, his heart lifted, but he bit his lower lip and did not dare to say anything.
“Grandma Cai, did the old madam say anything?” Li Tianyan felt a little relieved when he saw Grandma Cai’s reaction.
“This old maid doesn’t know. It’s better for the third young master to go and ask the old madam himself.” Grandma Cai thought to herself that these three sons of the eldest master were quite good.
The Eldest Young Master Li Tianzhou had been very talented in martial arts since he was a child. The Second Young Master Li Tiancheng embarked on the path of immortality. Originally, she thought that the third young master was a useless person, but who knew that there would be a turn for the better.
“Please tell the old madam, I’ll go right away.” Li Tianyan replied to Grandma Cai and didn’t turn back to the room until he saw her figure disappear.
.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Qi immediately followed in, nervously closing the door tightly, and then whispered, “Young master, the old madam is looking for you. Is it because of what happened last night?”
“No.” Li Tianyan shook his head decisively. Judging from Grandma Cai’s attitude just now, she seemed to be intending to win him over.
What he couldn’t figure out was last night the old woman felt that his existence was an obstacle, but today there was a sudden change. Could it be that something happened in between?
Hearing Li Tianyan’s negative answer, Cheng Qi reached out and patted his chest, “Fortunately.”
“Go play with Xiao Liu; I’ll come back once it’s done.” Speaking of Xiao Liu, Li Tianyan couldn’t help but think about their conversation just now. His eyes glanced around Cheng Qi unconsciously.
He didn’t understand why Xiao Liu had such thoughts about the little shuanger’s bean sprout body. Did he look like a pedophile?
Cheng Qi didn’t know Li Tianyan’s thought and ran out happily as soon as he heard that nothing would happen.
.
“The grandson has met the old madam.” When he came to Taiqing Courtyard to see Duan Qin again, Li Tianyan’s mood was a bit hard to describe.
Duan Qin raised her eyes and looked at the other party carefully for a while but still did not detect any aura that a warrior should have on Li Tianyan. Feeling a little disappointed, she pointed to a place not far from her and said, “Sit down and talk.”
“Yes, old madam.” Li Tianyan glanced at the seat pointed to by her and walked over with a little restraint.
“Are you really practice martial arts? How far are you now? Why don’t I any vitality from you?” Duan Qin saw Li Tianyan’s timid appearance, completely different from the calm and self-possessed person yesterday, and her previous thoughts suddenly changed. After resting for most of the time, she just asked straight to the point.
Li Tianyan listened to the old madam’s question, but a wry smile appeared on his face, “The old madam is joking; how can I save any strength in my broken body?”
“Didn’t you also injure the boy from the Jian family yesterday? If you don’t have the energy, how can you do it?” Duan Qin’s eyes became sharp, maybe Li Tianyan still dared to play tricks in front of her
“To be honest with you, old madam, this is the folk remedy my mother once sought for me. It only temporarily alleviated the congenital deficiency syndrome, but it still failed to store up vitality. Although I now have the acquired fifth level, my body does not have the stored vitality to continue. It is unlikely that I will make any further progress in the future.” Li Tianyan said nonsense with a serious look on his face.
As early as when he came to Taiqing Courtyard, he had heard a lot of rumors from outside. He had already guessed what Duan Qin wanted to do with him this time. There were only two possibilities.
The first was to take a fancy to his qualifications and want to keep him in the Le Mansion, or even secretly trained him to become a thug of the Li Mansion. The second was to worry about whether he would become a threat in the future. Whichever one was not a good thing for him.
After hearing what Li Tianyan said, Duan Qin had doubts in her heart, but seeing that there was no flaw in his face, she couldn’t tell for a while, “Why haven’t I heard Yin Rong mention it before?”
“If you can’t enter Tianfan Immortal Sect, there’s nothing to mention,” Li Tianyan said with a slight look of dejection on his face.
Sure enough, when Duan Qin saw him like this, not only was there no sympathy in her eyes, but there was a bit of disgust.
Li Tianyan became even more motivated when he saw that his words had taken effect, and continued with self-pity, “Since the grandson lost the election, my mother died, and my father became much colder to me. Even when the grandson has been ill for several days, he has never come to see me once. Old madam, could it be that my father does not want me anymore?”
“Your father is naturally very busy in charge of the entire Li family’s business. Now that you are older, you can’t always think about relying on your father,” Duan Qin said with impatience in her eyes but still suppressing her temper.
“What the old madam said is my father no longer available, but the madam doesn’t seem to want to see me anymore. In the past, the madam was closer to me than my two brothers.” Li Tianyan imitated the tone of the original owner and complained to the old madam about his current tragic situation.
Duan Qin felt a headache when she heard his constant thoughts. She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. Suddenly she couldn’t figure out what was she asking him to do. “Okay, you can go back first.”
Listening to the old madam sending him off, Li Tianyan suddenly acted like he had said the wrong thing. He stood up nervously and said, “The grandson has lost his bearings for a moment. I will leave first.”
“Yes,” Duan Qin said, waving her hand patiently and almost telling him to get out of here.
“Old madam, you just let the third young master go.” Grandma Cai stared at Li Tianyan’s back as he walked out and spoke.
“What a waste of time, just let him go.” Duan Qin used to hate Li Tianyan’s incompetent and pampered look. She thought he had made progress during this period, but when she saw it today, the unknown fire in her heart suddenly became stronger.
