Li Yu put on a scared look and said, "Ah? Sister Mu Lan, are you asking for it?"
Mu Lan said angrily, "What are you thinking about?" Then she took out the medicinal wine from her waist, "I've given you a stick today no matter what, and I'll give you a beating. After the beating, you have to apply medicine when it's time."
"Oh fine."
Li Yu took off his shirt, and there was a long black and purple mark on his back that was particularly conspicuous. Although Mu Lan is a female, she has been farming with her mother since she was a child. After entering Yinlong Villa, she also worked conscientiously and never slacked off, so she had some strength compared to ordinary women. Moreover, the stick that just hit Li Yu was with the greatest strength.
Mu Lan poured some medicinal wine on her hand and wiped it on Li Yu's back. Just when her hand touched Li Yu's back, she was surprised to find that Li Yu's slightly dark back was as hard as steel. Broad shoulders, tight waist and abdomen, and even his head is now a little taller. She had always regarded Li Yu as her younger brother, but only now did she realize that the young master who used to always follow her, clamoring to go out to play, had now grown into a man.
Mu Lan put medicinal wine on Li Yu's back and said, "Okay. Put on your clothes."
Li Yu said while putting on his clothes: "Sister Mu Lan, have you applied any medicine?"
When Mu Lan was asked this question, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said, "I touched it."
"Really? Let me take a look." Li Yu didn't allow Mu Lan to refuse and lifted up her sleeves. On his fair arms, there were also large black and purple bruises. Li Yu leaned his head over, He asked with his nose.
Mu Lan quickly withdrew her hand, looking a little panicked, and said, "What are you doing?"
"I can't even smell the medicine. You didn't apply any medicine?" Li Yu said.
"Yes! I haven't applied any medicine on myself yet! I'll take care of your affairs later. I'll take care of it when I get back."
"No, you put the medicine on first." Li Yu didn't care about Mu Lan's resistance, so he took Mu Lan's arm, lifted his sleeves, picked up the medicinal wine bottle on the table, and sprinkled it on Mu Lan's arm. Some, and then gently spread the medicinal wine on Mu Lan's arm evenly with her hands.
Mu Lan was a little resistant at first, but if she really compared her strength, she would not be Li Yu's opponent, so she simply let him apply the medicine on her. After Li Yu finished wiping it off, Mu Lan said, "You still have some conscience. You know you feel sorry for me."
Li Yu chuckled and said, "That's it. How can I put it? I also call you Sister Mu Lan."
Mu Lan made a disgusted expression, and then said: "Okay. Let's get to work."
"What work?"
"The homework assigned by the teacher, I will see you finish it today and then let you rest."
"Ah? There's no need for that."
"Hurry. Otherwise, you won't be allowed to sleep!"
Li Yu had no choice but to take out the book, walk to the desk and sit down, watching with concentration, while Mu Lan tidied Li Yu's room. After dilly-dallying for half an hour, Li Yu said confidently: "I've finished memorizing it."
Mu Lan was a little surprised and said, "Oh? Come back and listen."
Li Yu stumbled and memorized Chapter 10 of Zhongyong. Mu Lan said: "It's so good. You've already memorized it. It's so good. And the other thing is, don't change the plug. That thought, the plug that is blocked is not the plug of the plug."
Li Yu looked at Mu Lan with admiration and said, "Sister Mu Lan, you are so awesome. Even if you don't read the book, you will know where I am wrong."
Although Mu Lan didn't have the opportunity like Li Yu to go to school, she had a keen and studious heart, so every day after finishing her work, she would read a book before going to rest. Moreover, sometimes when I go to school, I will ask my teacher for some knowledge.
"It's because you didn't listen carefully. You barely passed the test this time. Freshen up and get ready to rest."
When Li Yu heard this, he seemed to have been pardoned and said quickly: "Okay! Okay!"
Li Yu washed his face with a towel, while Mu Lan stood aside and said sadly: "In a few days, it will be my wife's death anniversary."
After hearing this, Li Yu felt a little sad. He wrung out the water from the towel, hung it on the washstand, and nodded.
"This year, will you go to the far north with the owner?" Mu Lan asked.
Li Yu shook his head and said, "So what if I go? Father can just go. Are you going this year?"
Mu Lan shook her head and said, "I actually want to see Madam. However, when my mother passed away three years ago, she died two days later than Madam. If I go, I can't I came home in time to pay homage to my mother.”
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what happened to your mother back then?"
"I'm tired. In fact, when we were in Kaifeng, my mother had been feeling unwell, but she kept holding it back. When we came to Luoyang, the owner of the village helped buy fields and houses, and my mother wanted to earn more and pay back some. Silver, thanks to the owner and madam for their kindness. However, my body couldn't bear it, Shitou was not obedient at that time, so my mother..." Mu Lan's face turned gloomy.
"I'm sorry for bringing up your sadness."
Mu Lan shook her head and said happily: "Aunt Xin is very good to me. And after Shitou followed Master Zhao, he is now more obedient. If it hadn't been for my wife's matter back then, Aunt Xin and Master Zhao might have gotten married. It's obvious that the engagement is about to be finalized." Mu Lan showed regret.
Li Yu said: "My mother's matter indeed involves too many things. I still can't figure out why my father refused to bury my mother and chose to put my mother's body in the far north." Li Yu said. Yu's tone became heavier, "I knew this would keep the body from rotting, but who knew that my father didn't care about my mother? On the day of the accident, they had a fight. I have never seen my mother so sad. Expression. He said that my father didn't care. When he learned that my mother had passed away, he was sadder than anyone else. He refused to bury my mother's body and sent it to the far north. He would visit my mother every year. No matter how bad the weather is, he will put off any important things at hand. But if my father cares, why haven't I found my mother's murderer after so many years!" Li Yu became more and more excited as he spoke, and slapped the table hard. Suddenly, all four table legs were cracked by Li Yu's palm. Fortunately, Mu Lan doesn't know martial arts, otherwise she would definitely be able to tell that Li Yu is not as dishonest as others say, but in fact his internal strength has improved greatly.
At this time, Mu Lan was moved by Li Yu's mood, walked over, brushed Li Yu's hand that slapped the table, and comforted: "I believe that the murderer of my wife will be found in the future!"
Seeing that Li Yu was silent, Mu Lan said: "Okay, Second Young Master, have a good rest." She took the basin away, walked out of Li Yu's room, closed the door, and left.
After Mu Lan left, the Lanxin dagger on Li Yu's waist kept shaking. Li Yu could feel the anger coming from the dagger and said: "Old man, you are angry here, right? We can't relax, we We have to continue practicing martial arts. Father doesn't care, we have to find the murderer of my mother on our own!" Li Yu sat on the bed and began to practice internal strength.
The days return to normal again, and time passes bit by bit. Three days later, Li Zhentian was at the gate of Yinlong Villa, preparing to leave for the far north to pay homage to his wife Ouyang Lan.
"Wei Min, Long Zhan, the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce and the Escort Bureau will be left to you two to handle these days." Li Zhentian explained.
It has been nine years since Zhao Heng ascended the throne. Although Zhou is already middle-aged, thanks to the wealth of the Chamber of Commerce, he has taken good care of himself. His beauty is gone and there are no obvious wrinkles on his face. This Zhou family has some business acumen. When the Chamber of Commerce was first established, she helped Li Zhentian manage the Chamber of Commerce. After Ouyang Lan passed away, she was naturally supported by Li Zhentian and became the mistress of Yinlong Villa. Zhou's son, Li Longzhan, is eighteen years old. He behaves like his father Li Zhentian. He often follows his father in chambers of commerce and various gangs. Moreover, Li Yongzhan's appearance is also that of his father, with a generous face and a burly figure. No matter where the father and son go, people can tell at a glance that they are father and son. On the other hand, the second young master Li Yu, whose face resembles his mother's, has an oval face with even contours. His body is slender, not as generous and burly as his father Li Zhentian.
Li Zhentian said to Li Yu in a commanding tone: "Your mother's death anniversary will be in two days, won't you come with me?"
Li Yu said lightly: "Father, you can just go, my child will not go with him."
Li Zhentian was slightly angry, "How kind your mother was to you when she was alive! Now, you don't even look at her!"
Li Yu's tone also became tit for tat, "Go and see my mother. Can my mother survive? When my mother was here, why didn't you treat her well?"
Jian Xin said: "Yu'er, why are you talking to your father like this!"
"Hmph! You unworthy man!" After saying these words, Li Zhentian angrily got on the carriage and left.
Li Yu ignored anyone, turned around and walked in the opposite direction of Li Zhentian. Li Longzhan stopped Li Yu and said, "Second brother, where are you going?"
"Brother, don't worry about it. You and Er Niang are busy with your business. I have my own place to go."
"Second brother, I'm not telling you, but dad is right. My aunt loved you so much when she was alive. Are you doing this now worthy of my aunt's spirit in heaven?"
"Brother, I'm sorry, it's my second brother's business. Please give way." Li Yu cupped his fists and bowed.
"Okay, Long Zhan. Just let your brother leave on his own, as long as he is happy." Zhou said to Li Longzhan from the side.
Li Longzhan had no choice but to watch his younger brother leave. He walked back to his mother and said, "Mom, don't talk about my second brother."
Mrs. Zhou said: "What's the use of saying that. I'm not his biological mother. No matter how strict or lenient the control is, others will inevitably point fingers. Then I might as well ignore it. Besides, there is also your Aunt Xin. What? She is in charge of your brother's affairs!" Mrs. Zhou looked at Jian Xin beside her.
"Yes. I don't need you to worry about this matter, Mrs. Zhou." Then Jian Xin left and said to several people: "You should pay attention to the second young master. Don't let anything happen to him. Go ahead."
