The group walked through the front yard of Liu's mansion and went straight to the front hall, Liu Lei's mood was very complicated all the way, and he had already experienced a lot and his mentality had changed a lot when he stepped into this courtyard.

Tomorrow is Liu Tianyu's birthday, many nobles and wealthy businessmen have arrived in advance, there are many people in the garden chatting, seeing Liu Tianyu and his party coming over to say hello, Liu Tianyu is also very patient in return, this is the sadness of the Liu family as a new nobleman, even if the status is not better than Liu Tianyu's honorary nobles who do not even have a fief, Liu Tianyu can not be lazy.

Finally came to the living room, Liu Tianyu gave an order, and asked Liu Lei to wait outside first, but took Mu Xue'er and that Master Wang to go in first, although he knew that all the nobles who had a good relationship with the Liu family and had a head and face, but outsiders were treated higher than himself, which made Liu Lei depressed for a while.

Liu Lei, who had nothing to do, called over to Li Tianlong and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Li, why did you tell me just now that you can't beat that loser, is her strength very strong?" ”

Li Tianlong directly ignored Liu Lei's address to Mu Xue'er and replied: "It's not Miss Mu, it's the Master Wang next to him."

Liu Lei asked in surprise, "That Master Wang?" Isn't he an appraiser? ”

"On the surface, I didn't find it last time, but when he wanted to do it on the street just now, I felt the fluctuation of the fighting spirit on his body, but I didn't find it before, that is to say, last time he deliberately hid his strength, there are only two possibilities in this situation, one is that he has shielding equipment, or his strength is far above me, and last time I remember telling you that I felt the breath lock us in Gu Yuexuan, it seems that it is him" Li Tianlong said solemnly.

"And the eldest young master, have you found it, the old man has a very respectful attitude towards Miss Mu, I guess her status should not be low, it may be a member of a big family, and that Master Wang is an appraiser on the surface, but he may actually be her protector."

Well, Liu Lei felt that Li Tianlong's analysis was very reasonable and nodded.

"Yo! Isn't this the eldest young master of our Liu family? Hurry back to celebrate the master's birthday? ”

A yin and yang strange voice suddenly came from behind him, Liu Lei looked back and saw that it was the mistress of the Liu family, who was planning to kill his second mother, this woman looked at him with a bad face, and there was Hou San with a red slap on his face standing next to him, Hou San looked at Liu Lei's eyes full of resentment, thinking that he had been taught a lesson by the second lady, but he complained about Liu Lei's head.

"Erniang, the child came back in a hurry and didn't have time to say hello to you, please don't blame" Liu Lei said perfunctorily, although he didn't like this second lady very much, but the nobles must have aristocratic etiquette, otherwise they will be caught.

"Humph! I don't dare, you are now a big celebrity in our Liu family, the heart of the master, if I blame your master, you must not scold me" The second lady said sarcastically with a gun and a stick.

"Erniang said it, you taught the child that you deserve to be blamed by the father," Liu Lei said.

After listening to Liu Lei's words, the second lady was stunned for a moment, she wanted to provoke Liu Lei, but she didn't expect Liu Lei to be fooled at all, but instead looked respectful, and some nobles not far away praised Liu Lei when they heard it.

The second lady waved her sleeves in annoyance.

"Hmph, okay, okay, I'll let someone take you to rest, today the lord is entertaining all distinguished guests inside, don't be here, in case of collision, let others say that our Liu family doesn't understand etiquette, don't be here"

As soon as the second lady's voice fell, Hou San beside her immediately stood up and said, "Young Master, please."

Liu Lei knew in his heart that the second lady didn't want to give him the opportunity to show his face in front of outsiders, after all, this was a formal occasion, and it could more or less convey some of Liu Tianyu's intentions, if outsiders felt that Liu Tianyu was cultivating Liu Lei, it might ruin her calculations.

Liu Lei was still able to suppress his anger to the second lady, but he was not polite to Hou San at all, his hand was raised, his fingers were almost pointed to Hou San's nose and scolded: "You dog slave, you dare to come out, you offended the distinguished guest just now, didn't my father just let you go back, you didn't go back to your kennel and lie on your stomach, and you came out to be embarrassed and conspicuous, don't you take my father's words seriously?" Are you looking for a draw? ”

After finishing speaking, he rounded his arms, and gave Hou San a big mouth with a snap, Hou San was unprepared to be beaten with an oops, his eyes were full of gold stars, and a red handprint was taken on the left and right sides of his face.

Liu Lei looked at his masterpiece and nodded disdainfully and said, "Well, this will be symmetrical."

"You ......" The second lady didn't expect Liu Lei to dare to make a move, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, this slap seemed to hit her in the face, and she pointed at Liu Lei angrily speechless.

Originally, the words that were about to scold Liu Lei came to his lips, but when he saw the aristocratic guests watching here not far away, he held back again.

"Madame......" Hou San saw that the second lady did not stand up for herself, and said aggrievedly with her face covered.

"Get down" The second lady scolded with hatred that iron is not steel, but Hou San let himself lose his face.

Hou San didn't dare to speak, covered his face and ran away.

After beating Hou San away, Liu Lei was a lot more relaxed and said to the second lady: "Erniang, you don't know, my father asked me to wait here, I wouldn't dare to leave without my father."

The second lady listened to Liu Lei's words, her heart tightened, and she couldn't help but guess Liu Tianyu's intentions, and immediately became a little upset, glanced at Liu Lei, and couldn't help but think about it, and suddenly smiled and said: "You came back in a hurry, you shouldn't have gone to put a pillar of incense on the eldest lady's spiritual seat, I'm for your good, anyway, I go to the room dedicated to the eldest lady's spiritual seat every day, and I can feel a lot better to see her spiritual position."

Liu Lei listened to the words of the second lady, raised his head suddenly, and looked at the second lady with cold eyes, Liu Lei's father died early when he was on earth, and his mother always pulled him up, so he has a very deep affection for his mother, and people who have a good relationship with him know that Liu Lei is not angry no matter what jokes he makes, but only his mother can't mention anyone.

And mixed with the flashpoint memories of this life, the death of the mother at birth also makes this body have deep emotions for the word mother.

"What do you say? You repeat? Liu Lei said coldly to the second lady.

What the second lady wants is Liu Lei's effect, although Liu Lei's eyes are a little scary at the moment, she still pretends to be casual and says: "I said I went to visit my sister every day, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Lei was furious, this woman obviously went to the mourning hall every day to show off and blaspheme.

Just when Liu Lei was about to lose control of himself, Li Tianlong behind him secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Lei's shoulder, and controlled Liu Lei with his fighting spirit.

Liu Lei really wanted to slap the second lady at this moment, but his body was controlled by Li Tianlong, and it took a while for Liu Lei to suppress his anger, take a deep breath, and wink at Li Tianlong.

Li Tianlong retracted his strength and stood behind Liu Lei again, the second lady glanced at him dissatisfied, and if he wanted to look at Liu Lei, he would lose control, as long as Liu Lei did something in front of the guests today, then his reputation would definitely plummet, but he didn't expect that it would be destroyed by Li Tianlong as it had some effect.

Liu Lei looked at the corner of the second lady's mouth and smiled slightly, and said: "Thank you Erniang for thinking about it, my mother has passed away for so many years, but I will always be the mistress of the Liu family!" ”

The second lady frowned, Liu Lei's mother was not only Liu Lei's sore spot, but also her sore spot for so many years. For so many years, she has not gotten rid of the shadow of the eldest lady, when the eldest lady was alive, Liu Tianyu's most cherished was the eldest lady, she had no status in this family at all, and finally the eldest lady died in childbirth, and Liu Tianyu's heart also died, she has never been a woman for so many years, in the aristocratic circle of three wives and four concubines, Liu Tianyu, who has only two wives, is also a rare outlier, but this is not because of her but the eldest lady.

Even though she has been able to call the wind and rain in the Liu family for so many years, she will always bear the name of the second lady, and the subordinates who have received the favor of the eldest lady back then will always compare her with the eldest lady in private.

Hmph, the second lady snorted coldly, trembling with anger, and her chest rose and fell violently.

"Go, inform the lord that I'm coming" The second lady didn't look at Liu Lei, and ordered directly.

The subordinate didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly entered the briefing, and the second lady sneered and said: "Then you just stand here, I'll go in to see the master, and plead for you, maybe the master will let you enter the world." ”

Liu Lei bowed and said, "Erniang bothered, but on this occasion today, it is estimated that my father will not let outsiders in!" ”

The second lady listened to Liu Lei's words of scolding Huai, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "Well, indeed, the master may really not see some people."

"Why don't we make a bet" Things have come to this point, and the second lady didn't hide it, and said straight to the point.

Liu Lei sneered.

"What do you want to bet on?"

The second lady took two steps forward and whispered: "Just bet on which of us can enter, if I win, you can't step into the Liu family half a step in the future."

Liu Lei frowned, Liu family? After the system awakened and he was able to cultivate, he really couldn't look down on it, the second lady had to behave like a vulture, and it was ridiculous to see a lion passing by and tightly protecting a piece of carrion under him, but Liu Lei still pretended to hesitate for a long time before saying, "Okay, what if I go in first?" ”

The second lady saw Liu Lei hesitate for a long time, and suddenly felt the bottom of her heart, afraid that Liu Lei would regret it, and hurriedly said: "If I lose, how about I get you 100 gold coins from my private money?" ”

"A thousand, otherwise don't talk about it," Liu Lei said without thinking.

"Okay" The second lady gritted her teeth and agreed, although a thousand gold coins is not a small amount for her, but it is still from her mother's family, after all, this can involve the inheritance of the Liu family.

The two of them discussed it with their own thoughts, and waited anxiously, and after a while, the family who was notified ran out, and the second lady's heart rose to her throat.

The servant opened his mouth and said: "Master, let the young master go in to meet the guests, and let the villain tell the second lady that it has been hard to prepare for the birthday banquet in the past few days, so rest early." ”

After listening to the words of the next person, the second lady suddenly shook a few times as if she had been struck by lightning, and almost sat on the ground, and the maids on both sides hurriedly supported her.

Liu Lei, who was on the side, proudly tidied up his collar and walked in front of the second lady, as if talking to himself: "Outsiders? After all, my surname is Liu, haha."

After speaking, he walked into the hall, and did not see the second lady who was barely standing behind him raise her head, her face was full of resentment, but this scene was clearly seen by Li Tianlong, who was also left outside.

Young master, you're still young and vigorous! Li Tianlong sighed in his heart.
