Chapter 037: Taking charge of the Li family
Li Muhua was furious when he heard this, and patted the edge of the bed in annoyance: "What, the old man is sick, do you start to play with the idea of the position of the head of the family?
"Master, I misunderstood. ”
Li Mufeng hurriedly explained: "I'm also thinking about your body, the head of the family." ”
"The head of the family, the Great Elder is right. You should be recuperating during this time. ”
"The affairs of the mansion, it is better to leave it to the Great Elder to take care of it first. Over the years, the Great Elder has been conscientiously assisting the head of the family in managing the affairs of the house, and there has never been any mistakes. ”
"Haven't you ever made any mistakes? Hmph, the Great Elder had a problem last month because he was drunk. In contrast, our second elder is steady and delicate, and his ability to do things is much stronger than that of the eldest elder. ”
"Are you talking nonsense with your eyes open, the second brother has lived a life of drinking all these years, and he has never done a serious thing for the house, what kind of ability can he have?!"
"Big brother, what are you talking about?!You say that I spend all my time drinking, so don't you still linger in Qinglou and Lou, drunk and dreaming of death?"
"You are talking nonsense, how can I ......"
......
For a while, several elders exposed each other and quarreled over who would do the acting head of the family.
Li Muhua, who was lying on the hospital bed, was so angry that he couldn't stop coughing.
"You guys are too much, grandpa is sick, but you are still arguing at his bedside!"
At this moment, there was a sudden scolding sound from outside the door, and the noisy room was silent for a moment.
The elders looked back, but saw a purple-robed man walking quickly.
The purple-robed man was about twenty years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, delicate and handsome, but his complexion was a little sickly pale, and his body was a little thin.
When Li Muhua saw him, his tightly knit brows suddenly relaxed: "Jing Xu, you're back!"
The person who came was Ye Jingxu, the righteous son of the Li family.
Ye Jingxu was originally a distant relative of the Li family, and his parents died when he was a child, and he was later raised in the Li family.
When he was young, he had extraordinary qualifications, and at the age of twelve, he had already broken through the seventh order of illusion and was regarded as the pride of the Li family.
Li Muhua attaches great importance to him, and even hopes that he will be able to inherit the position of the head of the Li family in the future, which will make the clan extremely jealous.
However, when he was twelve years old, he had a bizarre serious illness that could not be cured for a long time.
Since then, his body has been weak, and his illusion has not advanced, so he has been treated coldly by the Li family.
Three years ago, he left the Li family and traveled everywhere in search of a cure.
"Jing Xu, has your illness been completely cured?"
Li Mufeng looked nervous.
Ye Jingxu has not heard from him for three years, and he suddenly returned at this time, could it be that his illness has been cured and he has made great progress in the cultivation of illusions?
If this is the case, then his return this time will be very detrimental to them.
Ye Jingxu's expression darkened, and he replied in a low voice: "The body is still the same, elders, grandpa, I disappointed you." ”
As soon as these words came out, the elders showed disdain.
"Jing Xu, when you left the Li family, you swore that if your body hadn't healed and your cultivation hadn't advanced, you wouldn't come back, so why did you come back at this moment?"
Li Mufeng's eyes were cold, and his words were mocking.
"Recently, I heard that there was an accident in the house, and I couldn't rest assured that my grandfather and Qianzi rushed back. Ye Jingxu explained anxiously.
"Something happened in the house, didn't we elders carry it, what are you doing when you come back?"
"Enough!"
Li Muhua angrily interrupted Li Mufeng's ridiculous words: "Jing Xu finally came back once, you give me a few words." ”
was scolded by Li Muhua, and the elders who had quite an opinion had no choice but to shut up.
"Jing Xu, since you are back this time, don't leave, grandpa is seriously ill now, so you will temporarily take the position of the head of the family and help grandpa manage the Li family. ”
Li Muhua held Ye Jingxu's hand and pleaded lovingly.
Ye Jingxu was stunned when he heard this, and the elders behind him were even more surprised.
Especially for the Great Elder Li Mufeng, who was bound to win the position of acting head of the family, anger burned in his cold eyes.
"Head of the family, how can you let a junior be the acting head of the family? He, Ye Jingxu, is not only a foreigner, but also a sick and weak waste!"
"If Brother Xu is a waste, then the Great Elder is a bastard who is not even as good as waste!"
Without waiting for Li Muhua to reprimand, a crisp voice full of disdain came from the door.
The people in the room were startled, and when they looked back, they saw a young girl hurrying towards them.
Looking at it, the girl's skin is as white as snow, her face is covered with light veil, and her bright eyes are as clear as a mirror lake, and she is as smart as a star.
It turned out to be Li Qianzi.
The people in the room were shocked.
"Zi'er, you're back. ”
Li Muhua excitedly held Li Qianzi's hand, and the hanging big stone in his heart finally landed.
"Grandpa, you've been worried about me for the past two days. ”
Li Qianzi looked guilty.
Several elders behind him looked at Li Qianzi, who had returned safely, and was angry.
I thought she was detained by Emperor Chongye and would never come back, but I didn't expect that it had only been two days, and she had come back alive.
It's really infuriating.
"It's okay! Now that your brother Xu has returned to the house, in the future, you can stay in the house and help your brother Xu take care of the affairs of the house. ”
What happened to Qianzi recently made him very uneasy, and the safest way at present is to let her stay in the mansion for a long time and not go anywhere.
"Don't worry, grandpa, I will definitely help Brother Xu take care of the affairs of the house. ”
Li Qianzi's eyes were firm.
From childhood to adulthood, in the entire Li family, except for her grandfather, only Brother Xu treated her as a relative and took good care of her.
Brother Xu is quite talented, and it is very suitable for him to serve as the acting head of the family at this time.
In the past ten years, the Li family has not wanted to make progress, is lazy and extravagant, especially those elders, who can't do business but have a bad stomach.
It's time to give them some bitterness.
"Family Master, how can you let two wastes take charge of the Li family?"
Li Mufeng was so angry that he jumped to his feet, and the head of the family was too partial.
"Who do you say is trash?"
Li Qianzi suddenly turned around, and her sharp eyes shot like a sharp sword, so frightened that Li Mufeng hurriedly stopped.
"If you dare to say that Brother Xu and I are waste, I will never spare you!"
Li Qianzi warned viciously.
Li Mufeng was angry in her heart, but she couldn't reprimand her in front of the head of the family.
After a pause, Li Mufeng, who was holding back the fire in his belly, flicked his sleeves and walked away with a few other elders.
After a few elders left, Li Qianzi took out the Fire Refining Fruit and a large box of Phantom Power Nuclear Crystals from the space he carried.
"Zi'er, where did you get these things? You can't have made any deal with Di Chongye, right?"
Li Muhua was surprised and worried.
Li Qianzi raised her lips and smiled, and explained to them truthfully that the Fire Refining Fruit was given by Emperor Chongye, and the Phantom Power Core Crystal was taken from the Ghost Mist Forest.
Li Muhua was shocked when she heard what she said.
"Zi'er, that Emperor Chongye is a dangerous person, you must not have any dealings with him in the future. ”
Li Muhua's face was solemn.
