CHAPTER 120: CHAPTER 120 LI XING’AN: WHOEVER BULLIES MY SISTER WILL HAVE THEIR TEETH PULLED! (1)
"I agree with the Prince’s arrangement." The Princess Consort Luling said with a smile, "Firstly, it’s lively, and secondly, it celebrates the beginning of good days for our family."
"I agree too," said the Princely Heir.
"Me too," said the Second Young Master.
"Copycat," Li Xing’an rolled his eyes at the second one, raising his hand and said, "Let’s do as Father said."
Both the Great Princess and the Second Princess nodded.
Li Yuzhu also smiled and said, "Good."
The two-year-old Li Jing was busy eating, but hearing everyone agreed, he didn’t look up and just shouted, "Good."
That made everyone laugh.
The whole family agreed, and Xue Family didn’t say anything, she just nodded along.
.
On the third morning, just after Li Yuzhu’s family had breakfast, when the Prince Luling was assigning tasks to his children, Mu Yuanxiu came leading Mr. Chai’s carriage driver.
Mu Yuanxiu greeted the Prince Luling’s family and said, "I met him at the foot of the mountain, and he asked me where Miss Li lives, so I brought him here."
Li Yuzhu put down the shovel she was using to dig medicinal herbs and hurried over to ask, "Is it about your miss? How is she?"
"She’s taking medicine, much more spirited than before, but she’s still struggling to breathe." The old servant said, "She’s worried and fainted again, she instructed me to urgently ask Miss Li to see her."
"Indeed, she has something growing in her neck, pressing on her windpipe, making it hard for her to breathe." Li Yuzhu said, "I’ll go with you to see her right away."
After solving Miss Chai’s issue, it would be time to arrange her surgery.
Hearing that Miss Chai wasn’t well, Prince Luling pushed Li Yuzhu to go see her and asked Li Xing’an to accompany Li Yuzhu.
The Second Young Master also wanted to go, but the Princely Heir stopped him, "Second Brother, didn’t we agree to go to the market together? We’re moving tomorrow, we need to buy some daily necessities today."
The household purchases were made with Li Xing’an’s money.
Li Xing’an proudly flicked his sleeve, "Second one, using someone else’s money, and still wanting to slack off?"
"Shut up, when have I ever slacked off?"
"Then that’s great, remember to buy me a beautiful bed!"
"I’ll buy you a hammer!"
Li Jing blinked, looking at the Second Young Master, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle’s grandma is also your grandma, his grandma’s hammer can be used by him and also by you, there’s no need to buy another one."
Second Young Master, "..." He wasn’t buying a hammer!!!!!!!
.
The Third Brother Li Xing’an accompanied Li Yuzhu and followed the Chai Family’s carriage driver down Niu Tou Mountain.
Mu Yuanxiu said he wanted to take care of some business in Taohua River Village and asked for a ride.
The driver happily agreed.
Li Xing’an was unhappy, "It’s too cramped in the carriage for you, Mr. Mu."
But the driver said, "There’s plenty of room, the three of you little ones can sit inside without it being tight at all."
Mu Yuanxiu looked at Li Xing’an, "Third Brother Li, the driver said it’s not cramped."
"Haha—" Li Xing’an turned his head away.
The carriage, pulled by a mule, carried the three of them and soon arrived at the house the Chai Family had set up in Taohua River Village.
Tied to a tree on one side of the house was a horse.
The old driver looked at the saddle and immediately frowned, "The Eldest Young Master is here, sigh, there will be more arguing." He apologized to Li Yuzhu and the others, "Please wait in the yard, let me go inside and take a look first."
Siblings arguing, it would indeed be inappropriate for outsiders like them to intrude.
Li Yuzhu nodded, "Okay, Grandpa, go ahead and do what you need to do."
The old servant went inside, and the three of them sat resting on the stone bench in the courtyard.
Of course, Li Xing’an didn’t let Mu Yuanxiu sit next to Li Yuzhu, instead squeezing in between them both.
Mu Yuanxiu raised an eyebrow slightly.
Li Xing’an spun around on the round stool, turning his back to Mu Yuanxiu, "Third Sister, let’s talk about..."
"Shh—, don’t make a noise, listen to what’s being said over there." Li Yuzhu waved her hand, pointing in the direction of Miss Chai’s room.
Li Xing’an immediately fell silent, squinting his eyes, also looking in that direction.
The argument inside the house was intense, and Li Yuzhu and the others could hear most of it.
"Third Sister, come home, stop causing trouble." Mr. Chai’s voice could be heard.
"What am I going home for? Oh, right, Second Sister’s third day back visit, first I shall congratulate her on her new marriage, but I’m currently sick, if I return in my current condition, it might spoil her happiness, so I’d better not go back."
"Do you have to make a fuss like this? How can you, as a young lady, live alone here?"
"Who says I’m alone? There’s Nanny Zhou, Nanny Jiang, and Uncle Gui."
"They’re just servants."
"So what if they’re servants? When I’m ill, it’s these servants who care for me!"
"Living here, how will you find a future husband?"
"Thank you for your concern, Big Brother, but with my condition worsening, what is there to look for in a husband?"
"Third Sister, I know you’re upset with me, but... I have my own difficulties."
"That’s why I’m not going back home, I’ll just stay at the old house so as not to bother you."
"You, you... fine, if there’s anything, have Uncle Gui let me know, I’ll be off now."
The door swung open, and Mr. Chai walked out of the east wing room with a grayed face in big strides.
Seeing Li Yuzhu and the others in the courtyard, he paused momentarily.
Li Yuzhu stood up and nodded at him, "Mr. Chai, I’m here to treat your sister."
"Her illness..." Mr. Chai furrowed his brows, "Please do your best to heal her."
"Of course," Li Yuzhu said.
Mr. Chai fished a purse from his sleeve and gave it to the old servant, "Use this to get medicine for Miss Chai."
The old servant took it with a sigh, "Understood."
Mr. Chai looked back at the east wing room and sighed silently before leaving.
After sending him off, the old servant returned and said to Li Yuzhu and the others, "Our Eldest Young Master isn’t a bad person, it’s not that he doesn’t care for Miss Chai, he’s just in a tough spot."
Li Xing’an sneered, "What kind of tough spot? If a man bullies his own sister, he wouldn’t even punch him? Can’t even scold him? Comforting that wretched man is what’s called ’good’?"
"The stature of the Luo Family, Eldest Master’s hands are tied." The old servant disliked Li Xing’an’s remark.
"Coward!" Li Xing’an snorted lightly, glaring at Mu Yuanxiu fiercely, "If anyone dares to bully my Third Sister and make her cry, I’ll chop off their fingers one by one with an axe, and pull their teeth out with pliers, humph!"
Mu Yuanxiu looked at him, "Third Brother Li, I have never bullied Miss Li."
"Humph, do you intend to bully her?"
"No such intention."
"That’s wise of you." Li Xing’an gave him a sidelong glance.
Li Yuzhu glanced towards Miss Chai’s place and said to the old servant, "Mr. Chai indeed made a mistake, because Miss Chai wants not the outcome, but an attitude, and Mr. Chai’s attitude is far from comforting, everything done breaks the heart."
