Chapter 131 The Li Family Appears
Qu Jingyao comforted her, thinking that her grandmother was also a weak woman at that time, so how could she dare to tell the truth to her mother.
Besides, she was probably well aware of her physical condition at that time. It would have been better to say nothing and leave her mother alone.
"Your grandmother once said that none of the jewelry she left me could be sold, but one of them was snatched away by Old Lady Xu when I walked in and it seems she sold it."
Liu's words also confirmed what the old madman said, so my mother is really the daughter of Princess Luo Xi, Princess Jingle.
"Mother, my advice is that you shouldn't recognize your grandmother for the time being, lest you both be in danger."
Qu Jingyao knew that her family did not have the strength to fight back now. Even if her grandfather was the war god of Yanchu, King Haoshan, he might not be able to protect them.
This matter needs further consideration.
Liu had regained her composure at this time and told her to do as she said first, and she wanted to meet the old madman.
"Okay, mother. I'll take care of this."
Liu's worried look made Yue Niang very worried. She had never expected her eldest sister-in-law's identity to be so...
She held Liu's hand tightly and comforted her. No matter what happened in the future, she and her son would face it together with her sister-in-law and her family.
The reason why Qu Jingyao did not avoid her aunt was to let her know the current situation so that they could make their own decision.
"Okay, mother, little aunt, you don't have to worry."
After she finished speaking, she chatted with her family for a few more words, and outside, Nanny Qin reported that lunch was ready.
"Mom, Big Brother has been hungry since noon. Let's go eat first. Besides, Xiaochen and the others should be back soon."
Emperor Ming, you should know what I am asking for."
Li Jun suddenly raised his eyes and looked at King Li opposite him, then bit his lower lip and finally nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Li Jun understands. Our ancestors didn't leave much wealth, but fortunately, they passed on business acumen to their descendants. As long as Your Majesty needs me, Li Jun is willing to serve You."
Leng Yanxiu raised his eyelids and curled the corners of his lips.
"What I, King Li Jun, want is not the Li family's money, but the fulfillment of the agreement made with the royal family a hundred years ago!"
As he finished speaking, Li Jun was suddenly stunned, a look of confusion on his face. This was the promise made to the royal family a hundred years ago? Was the prince joking?
"Your Highness, since you know about the agreement made a hundred years ago, you must have also discovered that no girl has been born in the Li family in the past hundred years!"
Li Jun's eyes were clear and he replied solemnly.
Leng Yanxiu glanced at him calmly, his thin lips curled into a barely perceptible sneer:
"Just because it didn't exist before doesn't mean it doesn't exist now."
"Your Highness, I only have two sons..." Li Jun couldn't understand what the prince meant. He tried to explain that he was the only one in the Li family and his brother had never found him.
Something suddenly flashed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp it for a moment.
Leng Yanxiu casually fiddled with the jade ring on his finger and asked coldly, "If Li had a daughter, would you still keep your promise?"
Li Jun was suddenly stunned, not understanding why King Li was so obsessed with this point.
The agreement made a hundred years ago was made because my great-grandfather was a founding hero, and the emperor at that time wanted to make amends to this brother who was like a brother to me.
What’s funny is that since this agreement, no girl has been born in the Li family.
He looked at King Li's extremely deep black eyes, which seemed like a bottomless cold pool that was about to drag people into it.
"Li... Prince Li, what are you talking about? Since it's an agreement, Li Jun will definitely abide by it."
Leng Yanxiu's lips curled up slightly when he heard his answer.
"Okay, then you'll remember what I said today."
Li Jun was a little confused. Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Li was still trying to tie the Li family to the royal family and use them to his advantage?
There are no girls born in the Li family in this generation?
So he didn't take it to heart at all, but he didn't know that because of his words, Qu Jingyao would want to eat Leng Yanxiu alive in the future.
"Okay, you go back first, and leave the rest to me."
After a long time, Li Jun raised his eyes, concealed the hatred in his eyes, and his deep eyes regained their calmness. He bowed respectfully to Leng Yanxiu.
When he saw King Li closing his eyes and waving his hands, Li Jun leaned over and left the study.
After he left, Leng Yi appeared beside him.
"Why didn't your Majesty tell Li Jun about this so that the Emperor could grant you and Miss Qu a marriage?"
Leng Yanxiu raised the corners of his lips, revealing an evil smile.
"No rush, when will the one I like escape? That's what makes it fun, isn't it?"
Leng was stunned and fell silent.
Leng Yanxiu lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, staring at the jade ring in his hand. His obsidian-like deep eyes were filled with a sharp light.
Leng Yi secretly complained in his heart that the master was still as heartless and detached from love as ever. He said that even if the master had special feelings for the girl from Naqu, he would not really fall deeply in love with her.
"Oh, my Lord, when I was investigating the relationship between the Li family and Miss Qu, I discovered that someone else was also investigating. I wonder..."
When Leng Yanxiu heard Leng Yi's words, his brows immediately turned cold and his hands stopped moving.
"Find out the identities of those people and find a way to prevent them from discovering the relationship between Qu Jingyao and the Li family."
"Yes! I obey my orders."
After leaving Prince Li's mansion, Li Jun immediately headed towards a pawnshop on South Street.
"master."
Li Jun signaled him to go in and talk, and soon the shopkeeper told the waiter to keep an eye on the front and not let anyone disturb the master.
She turned and followed her master to the backyard.
The shopkeeper led Li Jun to a secret room at the back.
"Master, did everything go smoothly today?"
As he said that, he poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over.
Li Jun exhaled a breath, sat at the top, and seemed to relax all of a sudden.
"Well, it went well, but..."
Shopkeeper Wu frowned and blurted out, "What about His Royal Highness Prince Li?"
Li Jun stroked his brow and shook his head tiredly. Forget it, the agreement he mentioned was nothing.
"Nothing, now that things are over here, let's withdraw everyone.
The people who retreated will reunite with those who came before to look for my brother's whereabouts. I'm going back to my hometown. I haven't been back for so long, and I miss Yue Niang..."
Li Jun thought that when he left, the child was still young, and he wondered how Yue Niang was doing.
If he had not been entangled with those forces in Shangjing and was afraid of bringing danger to his family, how could he not dare to go back to see his family for so long.
Thinking of this, Li Jun clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.
"Master, please let me prepare the carriage. Madam, I don't know what you want me to prepare. I will go and prepare it."
Shopkeeper Wu asked with a smile. He was also an elder of the Li family. When he heard his master say that the matter had come to an end, he was happy for his masters from the bottom of his heart.
For so many years, the master has never dared to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors openly...
"Well, prepare two carriages and let Qingfeng accompany me back. Prepare some jewelry that women like. The two children will also need some, so prepare some high-quality Hui ink."
Shopkeeper Wu leaned forward and replied with a smile, "Yes, I will prepare it right away. Master, please rest for the night and set off tomorrow."
Li Jun looked at the sky outside and nodded.
