Changsun Mansion.
Main hall.
Li Ziye and eldest grandson Fengyu walked in together in confusion.
In the hall, eldest grandson Nanqiao was sitting there, looking at the account books intently, frowning and sketching from time to time.
"Your Royal Highness, Sister Nan Qiao."
Li Ziye entered the hall, bowed politely, and greeted.
"Professor Li."
Murong stood up and returned the courtesy, his beautiful face looked rather haggard.
Li Ziye sighed softly in his heart when he saw the expression on the ninth princess's face.
Although the royal family has no family ties, it is not so absolute. Brothers and sisters from the same mother still have deep feelings after all.
"Brother Li, sit down."
The eldest grandson Fengyu deliberately gave up his seat close to his aunt, occupying the seat where the guest should have been.
Li Ziye could tell a certain grandson's thoughts at a glance, and sat down next to the eldest grandson Nanqiao without giving any clue.
"Sister Nanqiao."
Li Ziye grinned, showing his eight white teeth, and said, "Long time no see. Things have been going well lately."
"not good."
Grandson Nanqiao said while looking at the account book, "Do you think I look good?"
"Well."
Li Ziye paused, not knowing what to say.
This doesn't follow the routine.
Across the table, Murong was drinking tea quietly, his eyes were dull, his mental state was very bad, and he had completely lost his former agility.
"Brother Li."
On the side, the eldest son, Sun Fengyu, bumped the former's ribs with his elbow, indicating to let him take a look at Murong's condition.
Li Ziye glanced up, then looked away, and whispered, "I saw it, a little impatience will mess up a big plan."
"My sister, I feel so sad."
The eldest grandson Fengyu sighed softly and whispered.
"Stop talking nonsense, your aunt will be suspicious again soon."
Li Ziye took a sip of tea and whispered.
Across the way, Murong, who was in a daze, did not notice the two people whispering in front of him. On the contrary, the eldest son Nanqiao, who was checking the account book, caught sight of the two sneaking people with his peripheral vision and smiled coldly.
Although the relationship between these two people could not be said to be bad before, it was not very good either. Now, they suddenly started hanging around each other and flirting. There was definitely something wrong.
"your Highness."
After drinking a cup of tea, Li Ziye didn't want to deal with the idiot Chang Sun Fengyu, but he didn't dare to provoke the vixen Chang Sun Nanqiao, so he turned his attention to the Ninth Princess in front of him and said, "How is the Queen lately?"
"Um."
Murong came back to his senses, nodded, and said, "It's okay, thank you Professor Li for your concern."
"Master Li."
At this time, in the seat next to him, Changsun Nanqiao put down the account book in his hand and asked directly, "Are you and Yu'er hiding something from us?"
"What do you mean by Sister Nan Qiao's words?"
Li Ziye looked stunned and asked in confusion, "What can the prince and I hide? Has Sister Nan Qiao misunderstood something?"
Next to him, Changsun Fengyu couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up when he saw someone's face not turning red when he told a lie.
Amazing.
How could he not be so shameless?
"Misunderstand?"
The eldest grandson Nanqiao smiled lightly and said, "There should be no misunderstanding. Mr. Li, if something happens, why don't you tell me clearly. The Queen and I may be able to help you."
"Sister Nan Qiao really misunderstood."
Li Ziye said seriously, "The prince and I just met by chance a few days ago because we haven't seen each other for a long time, so we have a drink and a chat, nothing else."
"Master Li, I still can't trust my sister."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao looked regretful and said, "It's a waste of my sister's sincerity. However, I have feelings for you, but I have no intention of doing so."
"cough."
In the hall, the eldest grandson Fengyu almost choked himself with a mouthful of tea. Cold sweat poured down his face. He quickly stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I still have some urgent matters to deal with. Auntie, you guys talk first. I'll be back after I finish the work."
After saying that, eldest grandson Fengyu stood up in a hurry and walked outside.
His goblin aunt was about to show off her power, so he had better run away to avoid getting hurt.
Across the tea table, Murong saw his cousin running away and wanted to get up and leave with him.
"Murong."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao stretched out his hand to pull the girl in front of him and said, "What do you think of Mr. Li?"
Murong was stunned for a moment, unable to realize what was going on.
Li Ziye drank tea, and her heart skipped a beat.
not good!
This vixen is going crazy!
"Murong, you are already old enough to get married. According to my aunt, Mr. Li is quite good."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao smiled and said, "You are a talented man and a beautiful woman. Moreover, Mr. Li has the status of consort. If he assists your brother, there is no need to avoid anything."
"Auntie!"
Murong recovered from the shock and said, "What are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao smiled, looked at the boy from the Li family on the side, and asked, "Is that so, Mr. Li?"
"Sister Nan Qiao, is the whereabouts of the Fourth Highness?" Li Ziye asked with a surprised look on his face.
Across the table, Murong also reacted, remembering the mention of his brother in his aunt's words just now, and looked over.
"Master Li is really awesome."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao said with admiration, "What I just said, Murong's reaction is normal. Young Master Li doesn't care about marriage, but immediately went to ask about the missing Fourth Highness of my family. He is really not an ordinary person." .”
"Sister Nan Qiao is overly praised. I have some friendship with His Highness the Fourth, so I am more concerned about His Highness's situation."
Li Ziye picked up the tea again and took a sip before answering.
This vixen is difficult to deal with, and that boy Changsun Fengyu probably won't be able to handle it, and his secret will be revealed sooner or later.
"My Fourth Highness has been in trouble for so long. It seems that this is the first time Mr. Li has come."
Grandson Nanqiao said calmly, "Are you trying to avoid suspicion?"
"That's not true."
Li Ziye sighed softly and said, "I have always wanted to ask about the situation, but I was afraid of touching Sister Nan Qiao's wounds, so I never came."
"Professor Li, please tell me clearly."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao's eyes suddenly straightened and he said seriously, "There are no outsiders here. If I want to ask, Yu'er won't be able to keep it secret for too long. However, I want to hear Mr. Li say it himself."
Li Ziye took two sips of tea, thoughts flashed in his eyes, and after a moment, he said, "There are many people, so the conversation is mixed."
"No fourth person will know."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao said seriously, "If Mr. Li doesn't believe it, I can swear to you."
"What about the Queen?"
Li Ziye put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly.
"Then it depends on Mr. Li's intention."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao asked, "Master Li, do you want my sister to know?"
"not the right time yet."
Li Ziye said calmly, "It's better not to know yet."
"Well."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao said with a serious look, "I have the final say on this matter. Mr. Li will never tell my sister before he nods."
"Auntie, what are you talking about?"
At this moment, Murong also noticed something was wrong, his eyes narrowed, and he asked.
"Master Li, please tell me."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao said, "Murong is still willing to listen to my words."
Li Ziye nodded and did not hide any more. He said calmly, "The Fourth Highness is not dead. When he went north, I sent experts from the Li family to follow him. I was worried about his temperament, so after he passed out from exhaustion, The experts from my Li family took him away by force."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire main hall fell silent.
Then, there was a crash, and Murong lost his mind and accidentally knocked over the tea cup, spilling tea all over him.
