The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 478 We are a family

Zhang covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's right. That girl is a filial one. She often went to deliver meals to the Imperial Academy. It was at that time that she met your uncle. Her name is Lu Lin. She is a very talented girl. Many people in Kyoto want to marry her. But this girl is very proud and doesn't care about power and wealth. She just wants to find someone she likes. So the marriage has been delayed again and again. She is already nineteen this year. But the Imperial Academy has only this one daughter, and he dotes on her very much and doesn't urge her. He even threatened that if she really can't find a husband, it doesn't matter if she never gets married."

"This family is pretty good, quite to my taste, with lots of personality."

Zhang rolled her eyes at her and continued, "That girl fell in love with your uncle at first sight and often looked for opportunities to talk to him. You know your uncle's temper. He can't stop talking for a long time... cough, he doesn't say a word for a long time. The girl didn't get angry. Every day, she would ask your uncle about academic matters under the opportunity of delivering meals to the Imperial Academy. After a few exchanges, they became familiar with each other."

Zhang took a sip of tea and continued, "Your grandfather didn't know about it at first, but then the Grand Secretary of the Imperial Academy repeatedly showed his favor to your grandfather. Although your grandfather was wise, he was a little slow to realize it. After discovering the truth, he brought your third uncle to propose marriage without saying a word, and the marriage was settled."

"When is it scheduled?"

"Oh, it will be next year. The girl's grandmother passed away two years ago, and she has to observe mourning, so the wedding will be scheduled for June next year."

"There's still more than a year left, why is mother in such a hurry?"

"Of course I am. When your second uncle got married, many things in the mansion were given to him first. Your third uncle's wedding next year cannot be worse than your second uncle's, so we have to prepare in advance."

"Oh, these are just small matters. I own so many shops. I'll ask Little Grasshopper to come over and take you to choose one by one. You can find most of the things there."

Zhang was stunned. "Your business is so good now?"

Li Mulan raised her head proudly, "Of course, Little Grasshopper is a business genius, very capable. I don't even know how much assets I have now, anyway, it's just a number."

·····Can be viewed but cannot be used······

Li Mulan felt bitter, but she still wanted to save her face.

Zhang pinched her little face and said, "You, you look so proud. Okay, since my daughter is so rich, I will let Little Grasshopper take me to your shop in a few days."

"Look, you must look."

The mother and daughter chatted for the whole morning, but Li Cong did not come back. Later, after asking around, they learned that the emperor had gone to the city gate with all the civil and military officials to welcome General Ye.

Li Mulan had nothing to do, so she stayed in the mansion to have dinner with Zhang and talk. The mother and daughter were very happy.

It was not until the afternoon that Li Cong returned home.

But before she could say a few words to her grandfather, someone from the Regent's Palace came and said that General Ye wanted to pay a visit to the princess.

Li Mulan knew it was probably about Erbao, so she quickly said goodbye to her family and left.

General Ye is really impatient. He came to Kyoto to see her this time.

Li Mulan hurried back to the Regent's Palace. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Erbao, Dongzi and others waiting for her. Even Ye Tianyu had returned.

“Master!” “Master!” “Master!”·······

"Little uncle!"

Li Mulan waved at them, "Why are you all standing at the door? Why don't you go in?"

Ye Tianyu smiled and looked at Erbao, "I want to talk to Junior Master about what happened today, so I have to wait here."

Li Mulan smiled. "Then there's no need to wait at the door. Let's go. The sun is nice today. Let's go to the pavilion and talk for a while. It's where General Ye is..."

"My father is talking to the prince. It's okay. Just go over after you finish talking."

Li Mulan nodded and waved to Erbao.

Erbao felt a little uncomfortable and left with Li Mulan.

No one else followed. Since this was Erbao's business, they decided to let him talk to the master himself.

Garden, gazebo.

Li Mulan looked at Erbao's awkward expression and suddenly smiled, "Why are you so conflicted? Are you afraid that I won't agree to your recognition of your ancestral roots?"

Erbao looked at Li Mulan seriously, "As long as the master doesn't agree, Erbao will never go back."

Li Mulan was helpless, "What a silly child, it's so nice to have a family, do you like being an orphan so much?"

"I was an orphan before, but now that I have a master and other brothers, I am no longer an orphan."

"That's still different from real family."

"Same."

Looking at Erbao's stubborn eyes, Li Mulan finally understood why he was so conflicted.

"Even if you return to your roots, we are still us, and Dongzi and the others are still your brothers. This will not change."

Erbao pursed his lips, "But you can't be my master anymore."

"If you can't be the master, then be the sister."

Then he thought of the relationship between Erbao and Ye Tianyu. Ye Tianyu is her nephew, and Erbao is Ye Tianyu's younger brother. This relationship... is a bit messy.

"elder sister?"

Li Mulan flicked his forehead and said, "What? Can I not be your sister anymore?"

“No...no,” Erbao said anxiously, “I just didn’t expect it. I thought...I thought..."

"Do you think I don't want you anymore? Don't care about you anymore?"

Erbao pursed his lips and said nothing, but that expression said it all.

Li Mulan sighed, "Don't forget, your household registration was with my last name, we are a family."

"family?"

"Well, don't you think so?"

“No…no…”

"I care about you guys enough, if you still don't treat me as a family member, hmph."

Li Mulan didn't say the rest of the words, but her slightly raised fist made Erbao's eyes red.

"We are a family, always have been."

"That's all, why are you worrying here? Whether you are an orphan or a child of the Ye family, to me, Yu Dongzi and the others, you are the same, you are our second treasure."

“You…will not change?”

“It won’t change.”

Erbao's eyes became even redder, but he smiled, even a little silly.

Li Mulan sighed. This child has been sensitive since childhood. If you don't explain many things to him clearly, he might have some wild thoughts.

"So shall I go see your uncle now?"

Erbao nodded.

"How do you feel about getting along with them these days?"

"Uncle, my elder brother and second brother are very kind to me. My elder brother also taught me a lot."

"very interested?"

"Yeah, I think it's interesting."

Chu Chenfeng had said before that Erbao had a great talent in military operations, and it seemed to be brought by his blood, after all, he came from a family of military generals.

The two of them walked towards the banquet room while chatting, and at this moment Ye Feng was drinking tea with Chu Chenfeng.

I was bored and kept craning my neck to look outside. Why hasn't he come yet? Would he disagree?
