"Tai… Shan?"

Looking at the ferocious eyes of Mr. Li, Zhu Ping'an touched his forehead in confusion and tried to change his name.

Well, it's totally useless.

The look in Mr. Li's eyes when he looked at him did not change at all, but rather worsened. It seemed that one could see countless dark clouds above Mr. Li's head, as if a violent storm would strike in the next second.

"Dad~"

At the critical moment, a lark-like voice came from her ears. It was Li Shu who pouted and grumbled in dissatisfaction after seeing her father making things difficult for Zhu Ping'an.

Seeing that his little ancestor felt sorry for the bad boy in front of him, the rich man Li became even more dissatisfied with Zhu Ping'an, but he still had to give face to his precious daughter.

"Oh, my dear son-in-law."

Under Li Shu's gaze, the dark clouds on Mr. Li's face cleared up. He responded to Zhu Ping'an with the look of a kind elder, and at the same time reached out and gently patted Zhu Ping'an's shoulder.

Bang!

Bang!

Shit! Zhu Ping'an almost vomited blood, feeling that his shoulder was about to be broken by the rich man Li. This was definitely a fight of all his might. This was a personal revenge. On the surface, it looked like the rich man Li had just patted him lightly twice, but by listening to the thunder-like sound, you could tell how much strength Li had used.

Zhu Ping'an coughed twice after being slapped before he recovered.

Li Shu looked at Zhu Ping'an with some heartache, then rolled her eyes at her father.

"Ahem... Come on, tidy up the young lady's boudoir so that Shu'er can have a good rest after dinner." Mr. Li was defeated by Li Shu's contempt, but he soon got excited again and ordered the maid to tidy up Li Shu's boudoir.

"Master, we have cleaned up twice today." A little girl's voice sounded weakly.

"Then clean it up twice more." Rich man Li waved his hand.

After giving the order, Mr. Li thought of something, turned around and said to the servant indifferently, "Go and prepare a guest room for Xiao Zhu."

When talking about the word "guest room", Mr. Li, the rich man, emphasized it deliberately, fearing that the servants would clean the wrong room.

Now Zhu Pingan believed that the bride went back to her parents' home to heal her wounds. Li Shu lived in the boudoir, and he was arranged to stay in the guest room. Not only could they not share a room, but they were also quite far away from each other. Looking at the attitude of the rich man Li, it was a luxury to touch Li Shu, let alone share a room with her and do something interesting. Now think about it, in many places, there is a custom that newlyweds should not share a room when they return to their parents' home. It makes sense to say that they go back to their parents' home to heal their wounds.

"My sister is back."

Just as the wealthy Mr. Li had calmed down, a strong voice was heard from the gate of the Li family, and then a middle-aged man of about seventeen or eighteen rushed out, like a calf coming down the mountain, pushing away anyone who blocked his way.

Zhu Ping'an recognized him at a glance as he had thick eyebrows, big eyes and a round face. This was Li Shu's third brother, the third child of the Li family.

The third son of the Li family looks like the kind of middle school youth who doesn’t like to study and prefers to solve problems with simple and rough force.

Behind the third son of the Li family followed another man, who was about twenty years old and looked a bit like Li Shu. He looked fragile, but Zhu Ping'an felt that this man was a hundred times more dangerous than the third son of the Li family. His dark and deep pupils were calmer and more mysterious than the night, and his eyes were even more unpredictable.

This person glanced at Zhu Ping'an calmly, which made Zhu Ping'an feel pressured, as if this person could see into your heart.

The last time I had this feeling was when I met Yan Shifan.

Needless to say, this is also Li Shu's brother, but we don't know if he is the second brother or the eldest brother.

"Third brother, second brother, now that you are here, what gifts have you prepared for me?" Li Shu raised her chin arrogantly like a proud little peacock.

"Third brother, I personally hunted a deer, a mink, and five foxes, and asked someone to make a mink fur coat for my sister to keep her warm in the winter." The third brother of the Li family patted his chest, his nose turned up, and deliberately glanced at Zhu Ping'an with a bit of provocation, as if he regarded Zhu Ping'an as his next prey.

"whispering sound"

Li Shu pouted in disdain, "Deer, mink, and fox, what good mink fur can be made? You just use broken things to deal with me. I like mink, go make me a pure mink fur."

The third son of the Li family heard this and touched his forehead, as if he had been hit by frost. "One mink fur coat requires more than 20 minks. It's not difficult for me to hunt three or five, but it's hard to find more than 20."

"Forget about excuses, let's just get by for now." Li Shu pursed her lips and waved her hand in a grateful manner.

"Where is second brother? What have you prepared for me?" Li Shu looked at her second brother and narrowed her big watery eyes.

"Who would rush to ask for gifts?" The second son of the Li family raised the corner of his mouth slightly with a hint of joking.

Li Shu looked at her second brother with a half-smile, then turned her gaze to her father, and made an aggrieved expression, pouting her lips and complaining to her father, "Dad, did you hear that? Not only did my second brother not prepare a gift for me, he also talked about me in a roundabout way."

So, the second son of the Li family, who was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, elegant and noble, was slapped in the face by the rich man Li.

In fact, Mr. Li, the rich man, did not put in much effort, but the effect was very obvious.

Such an elegant and noble handsome young man had his hair messed up. Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an almost couldn't help laughing.

The third son of the Li family seemed to be accustomed to this scene.

Li Shu looked at her second brother proudly, her cherry lips curved into a smug smile, and she stretched out her slender jade hand in front of her second brother and shook it.

The second oldest son of the Li family seemed to be used to this. He shook his head and smiled, then calmly adjusted himself. He looked at Li Shu helplessly and lovingly, and said, "Didn't my younger sister ask me to look for calligraphy a while ago? When I was traveling in Danzhou, I was lucky enough to get an authentic work of Su Dongpo. I have sent someone to deliver it to your boudoir."

"That's more like it." Li Shu's dark eyes lit up, and she nodded with satisfaction. Then she looked at her second brother and asked, "Where's the gift from eldest brother? He's your best friend, and he's too busy to come over. Didn't he ask you to bring me a gift?"

"The gift that big brother gave you has also been delivered to your boudoir. It's a box. Big brother packed it tightly and mysteriously, and told you to open it yourself." The second son of the Li family rubbed his forehead and spoke lazily.

"Shu'er, let's go home quickly. The food will not taste good if it gets cold." said the rich man Li, and ordered his servants to drive the carriage into the mansion.

"Well, thank you, Daddy," Li Shu nodded.

Li Shu is the little princess of the Li family. From the rich man Li to her brothers and the servants in the mansion, they all flatter and coax her. Zhu Pingan sees all of this. Then, thinking about how Li Shu has behaved as a diligent and obedient daughter-in-law in his family these past two days, he can't help but feel that it is really difficult for her.
