The hall was extremely quiet. Even a blind idiot knew that Li Chengfeng was definitely not a mortal. The kill order issued by the imperial court nineteen years ago had caused countless bloody storms in Daqi, and thousands of people were killed. Babies died tragically overnight, and countless small families were wiped out overnight!
The Li family relied on their mother Xie's cleverness and luck to save the whole family!
If word of Li Chengfeng's strange visions were spread, then even if the Li family fled to the ends of the earth, they would not be able to escape the disaster of annihilation!
What they knew better was that Sun Boren, who had his eyes burned through... was a monk of the Lingshan Sect!
If you offend the Lingshan Sect, it will also be the disaster of annihilation!
At this time, advancement and retreat are all dead ends!
Ants are greedy for life, let alone humans!
Sun Boren was twitching on the ground, and a gilded gold post fell out of his robe. The post clicked on the floor tiles and made a crisp sound. This sound suddenly gave life to the extremely silent lobby.
Ms. Xie stood up slowly. She walked over silently and picked up the gold post. She smiled miserably: "This is the thing that caused such a big disaster!"
Xie miserably held the gold post and walked to the brazier not far away. She looked at the glowing charcoal in the brazier with painful eyes. After the gold post crumbled in her hand for a while, it suddenly fell from her hand.
Seeing her sharp eyes and quick hands, Luzhu screamed, stretched out her hand and swatted the golden tie out of the air. Then she rushed over with her hands and feet, hugged the golden tie in her arms, and said to Mrs. Xie with hazy eyes: " Mother, this is the entire hope of our Li family!"
Ms. Xie shed tears and said with a sad smile: "Hope? There is no hope!"
Lu Zhu glanced at Li Chengfeng, who was unconscious on the ground. There was a strange light in her eyes, and she said cautiously: "Mother, the young master must be an extraordinary person, and he may not..."
Xie suddenly had a fit and said, "Shut up!"
Luzhu saw the fierce look in Xie's eyes, and she immediately fell silent, but she still held the gold post tightly in her hand.
Although she was a maid and slave bought by Mrs. Xie when she was very young, she had grown up in the Li family and had long regarded herself as a member of the Li family. She enjoyed both prosperity and loss.
Ms. Xie hopes that Li Chengfeng can become a great practitioner and revitalize his family, so why wouldn't she
Mrs. Xie glanced at Zhao Xiaobao with cold eyes. Zhao Xiaobao was excited and immediately kowtowed: "Don't worry, mother, Xiaobao's life is given by the Li family, so he must keep it secret!"
Xie sighed and her eyes gradually softened: "Fortunately, you two are the only ones here! I have watched you grow up, and I believe in you!"
Luzhu and Xiaobao knelt down the hall together, looking at Mrs. Xie with tears in their eyes.
Xie sighed: "It seems that our Li family's days in Cheng'an City will not last long!"
Luzhu and Xiaobao looked at each other, and Luzhu boldly asked: "Mom, are we... leaving?"
Xie nodded: "We can't stay here any longer!"
Luzhu asked: "When will you leave?"
Xie thought for a while and said: "In a few days, we will worship our ancestors. After the ancestor worship is completed, we can leave."
With that said, Ms. Xie walked to the window and looked outside. She saw the green mountains in the distance, but what she heard were the boatmen's chants nearby.
"I've lived in Cheng'an for ten years. Although the place is bitterly cold, it's really hard to leave now!" Ms. Xie murmured with tears in her eyes.
Lu Zhu also had red eyes, wiping tears and said: "Wherever my mother goes, Lu Zhu will follow her. My mother must not abandon Lu Zhu!"
Xiaobao also kowtowed and said: "Xiaobao too! He is a member of the Li family when he is born, and he is a ghost of the Li family when he dies!"
Ms. Xie smiled: "Get up, everyone. Prepare in private these days, but don't let others know."
Lu Zhu's heart trembled. She understood very clearly that Xie's intention was that she would not take everyone with her when she left. This smart and well-behaved maid glanced at Sun Boren, who was walking like a zombie on the ground. She shuddered and whispered: "Mom, what should he do..."
Mrs. Xie stared at Sun Boren, her eyes flickered, and said slowly: "If the servants in the family ask, they will say that the previous noise was caused by the master setting the order for the young master. If you ask more questions, twenty sticks!"
Luzhu nodded slightly: "But... How do you explain to the Lingshan Sect?"
Mrs. Xie said slowly: "I have my own arrangements for this. You go and tell the others that no one is allowed to come near without my instructions. Xiaobao, send the young master to the room and serve him well. When he wakes up, , don’t say anything, just say what I just said.”
Zhao Xiaobao did not dare to tell him and the young master about the robbery of the Lingshan sect before. He said: "If the young master wakes up and asks about the rating, how will he answer?"
Xie said: "Just tell him..."
Mr. Xie thought for a while and said: "First-class top grade!"
In Xie's view, he was leaving anyway, so why let his son know some desperate things
Zhao Xiaobao did not dare to ask any more questions. With Lu Zhu's help, he carried Li Chengfeng and left. After a while, Lu Zhu came back and was busy carrying Sun Boren into the back room with Mr. Xie.
Mrs. Xie returned to the front hall, lingered for a while, and then said loudly: "Uncle Kun, Uncle Kun!"
Not long after, an old man with gray hair and beard came through the hall and alley. This man had a wrinkled face and a stooped body. He was about sixty years old. He was Li Kun, the steward of the Li Mansion.
Mrs. Xie helped Uncle Kun up. She looked at him, her eyes full of pain, her voice was choked and she said, "Uncle Kun, how many years have you been in our Li family?"
Uncle Kun was an old man and understood the other person's intentions immediately. He knelt down without hesitation and made three loud noises: "I would like to inform my mother, this old slave sold himself to the Li family when he was eight years old and has served the three generations of the Li family. Fifty-three years!”
Xie said: "Ah Chun was brought up by you, and so was my son. In my heart, I have never regarded you, Uncle Kun, as a servant. I have always regarded Uncle Kun as a member of our Li family." family."
Uncle Kun's eyes were red, and he was rolling with tears: "I know! When there was a great disaster in Hanyang, my parents almost died of starvation, but it was the late Lord who was merciful and rewarded them with silver grain, so they survived! Over the years, my relatives have long been After the immortal passed away, the old slave was deeply favored by the Li family, just like being reborn! In the old slave's heart, whether it is the head of the family, his mother, or the young master, they are the last relatives of the old slave in this world! If my mother has any instructions, just ask, old slave Even if you break your body into pieces, you will definitely do it!”
Mrs. Xie shed tears and said: "This matter is related to the life and death of our Li family. If Uncle Kun goes away, he will escape death!"
Uncle Kun smiled with tears in his eyes: "I will do my best until I die!"
Mrs. Xie choked and knelt down, but Uncle Kun stopped him in a hurry: "What do you want my mother to say? Just tell me, don't kill this old slave!"
Mrs. Xie whispered in Uncle Kun's ear. Uncle Kun listened quietly, without a trace of emotion on his face. After listening, he bowed deeply to Mrs. Xie, turned around and left quietly.
