There was a gentle breeze.
In Li Yuan, the servants looked outside with breathlessness, not sure what happened outside the house.
It had been a long time since they had seen the young master so angry.
"It's the second master."
In the mansion, an old servant who came from Yuzhou City saw clearly the face of the man outside the mansion. He was shocked and said in disbelief, "The second master is back."
"Second Master?"
Everyone else in the mansion looked startled when they heard this title.
"It's indeed the second master."
Another old servant who had worked for the Li family for more than ten years saw the figure outside and said with emotion, "Unconsciously, it has been ten years."
"Does our Li family still have a second master?"
A new servant who had been in the Li family for less than three years asked in confusion after hearing what the two said.
"It's an old story."
The old servant who spoke first sighed softly, "It's just that it's not easy for the second master to come back."
No one can enter the Li family if they can't pass the young master's test. Neither the eldest lady nor the second master can persuade him to do this.
Of course, when the young master makes decisions, the eldest lady and the second master never interfere.
Under the gazes of the servants, Li Ziye stood in front of the house and turned away Li Junsheng without hesitation.
In terms of personal feelings, Li Junsheng's absence for ten years still cannot change the fact that the Li family is a member of the Li family. However, as the head of the Li family, the last thing Li Ziye should have is an affair.
Without rules, there will be no circle.
The Li family has the fewest rules among all famous families, but there are some bottom lines that cannot be touched.
Ten years ago, the blood of the Li family cannot be shed in vain.
"I'm willing to accept any punishment."
Outside Li Garden, Li Junsheng looked at his nephew in front of him and said seriously.
"punish?"
Li Ziye sneered and said, "What punishment is worth several lives? Even if the second uncle uses his own life to make up for it, so what? Is one life worth so many lives? Li Junsheng, don't you think that you Are the direct relatives of the Li family nobler than others? If you think so, I can tell you that the life of anyone in the Li family is much more precious than yours in my eyes!"
"Young Master."
Behind, Taotao looked slightly moved after hearing the young master's cruel and ruthless words, and called out softly, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
Li Ziye ignored it, stared at the person in front of him, and said coldly, "I tell you one last time, leave by yourself, and I will treat you as dead, as you were ten years ago."
Li Junsheng was shaken and fell silent. After a long time, he said softly, "I'll stay at a nearby inn first and come back another day."
After speaking, Li Junsheng turned around and left without saying another word.
In the mansion, the two old servants of the Li family saw the second master leaving and looked at each other with sighs in their hearts.
really.
Even though ten years have passed, the young master still has not forgiven the second master.
"Young Master."
In front of the house, Taotao saw the second master leaving and couldn't help but persuade him, "It's been so long and the second master has returned sincerely and is willing to accept the punishment. Young Master, please be lenient and let the second master come back."
"Human life cannot be compensated by sincerity and punishment."
Li Ziye murmured softly, then turned around and returned to the house.
Taotao sighed with a complicated expression, turned around and followed.
Maybe the young master himself hopes that the second master will come back, but he has to give an explanation to the Li family who sacrificed their lives.
In the mansion, the servants saw the young master coming and left one after another, not daring to make him unhappy at this time.
Li Junsheng walked on the street. He was in the bustling commercial capital, but his expression was so blank, without any sense of belonging.
When a person reaches middle age, he has a home and cannot return. Even if he has no martial arts skills, what can he do?
Li Junsheng walked into the Yuelai Inn not far from Li Garden, took out his money and asked for a guest room on the second floor.
In the guest room, Li Junsheng put down the Red Magic Qin on his back, walked to the window, and looked at Li Yuan not far away. The self-blame in his eyes was difficult to conceal.
He missed the most critical ten years of the Li family. Now that he is back, how can he be accepted by others?
In the sky, the scorching sun is heading westward. As the day is about to pass, the setting sun dyes the sunset red.
Imperial Palace, Shou'an Hall.
A shadow guard appeared and informed him in detail about what happened outside Li Garden.
"Second Master of the Li family?"
On the bed, Shang Huang opened his eyes, his eyes slightly focused.
It's Li Junsheng.
Hasn't he left the Li family for ten years?
Why come back at this time?
"Your Majesty, judging from the attitude of the legitimate son of the Li family, it seems that the second master of the Li family is not welcome back." The shadow guard who sent the letter continued.
"After being away for ten years and suddenly coming back, no one would feel comfortable."
Emperor Shang said coldly, "Li Junsheng really knows how to choose the right time. The Li family has been granted the title of Imperial Shang, and the head of the Li family has been granted the title of Marquis. He is back at this time. If he says that he has no purpose, who will believe it?"
If Li Junsheng had other motives, the chaos in the Li family would begin soon.
The biggest shortcoming of the Li family is that their bloodline is really weak. If the Li family's legitimate son dies, the Li family will be extinct.
Now that Li Junsheng is back, the legitimate son of the Li family may have to be careful.
The interests of the two people are in direct conflict. Only when the legitimate son of the Li family dies can Li Junsheng inherit everything of the Li family.
interesting.
The Li family, which had always been indestructible, finally had cracks visible to the naked eye.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess wishes to see you."
At this time, outside Shou'an Hall, a chamberlain walked quickly and saluted respectfully.
"Let her in." Shang Huang responded.
"yes!"
The chamberlain took the order and immediately turned around and left.
Not long after, Mu Xizi stepped into the palace, bowed Yingying, and said softly, "My dear sister, I have met the emperor brother."
"Have you received the news?" Shang Huang asked.
"Um."
Mu Xizi nodded and said calmly, "My sister is here to remind the emperor that this is a trick of the Li family."
"It is indeed possible."
Emperor Shang thought for a while, nodded and said, "So, please wait and see, Xizi, I remember that you have met Li Junsheng several times, so you can test his attitude."
"My sister has this intention."
Mu Xizi said calmly, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If Li Junsheng comes back this time to seize power, then we are happy to see it happen, and we can even help him secretly. If not, we will find a way to get rid of him."
"Li Junsheng was a master at the peak of the Fourth Realm ten years ago. Now, ten years later, his cultivation must have reached the Fifth Realm."
Emperor Shang reminded, "However, if you go to visit as an old friend, I'm sure he won't embarrass you."
"I haven't seen him for ten years and I have no home. My old friend, my sister, is his only friend in the capital."
A gentle smile appeared on Mu Xizi's face and he said, "Even if he and the Li family's legitimate son are acting, there shouldn't be much hostility towards this old friend of mine."
