East Courtyard of the Li Mansion, dining room.

The eldest lady Zhang and the second lady Liu had already prepared the food and drinks, and everyone in the Li family gathered together.

It's all their own family, so there's no need to shy away from it, everyone sits at a big round table. Li Lingwu sat at the top, Li Zhongyue and Li Qing on the left, Zhang and Liu on the right, and Li Wuchang's four brothers and sisters sat down.

The chief housekeeper Ye Rong, the second housekeeper Qian Gui, and a group of maids stood aside and waited.

It is rare for everyone to get together, drink and eat food, and talk about homely things.

Zhang gave Li Wuchang a handful of dishes and said gently: "Impermanence eats less wine and more vegetables." Your injuries haven't healed yet, so you can't mess around like this in the future. ”

Zhang's age is similar to Li Lingwu's, gentle and kind.

"Thank you, Auntie. "Li Wuchang lost his mother since he was a child, and was brought up by the nurse Zheng, Zhang, as his mother-in-law, was very concerned about him, he never scolded loudly when he made mistakes, and he was not demanding when he learned literature and martial arts, which was very different from others.

In the entire Li Mansion, except for the nurse, only the eldest lady is the best to Li Wuchang.

Liu scolded slightly: "Impermanence is also getting bigger, don't always do something to lose the face of the Li Mansion, you are blatantly messing with the three princes like this, where will the old man put his face?"

Liu is Zhang's cousin, as a cousin's dowry to the Li family, after giving birth to Li Wuxing, was promoted to the second wife, who is quite respectful of rules, and looks down on Li Wuchang, who is messing around all day.

Li Wuchang apologized in a low voice.

Li Lingwu squinted his eyes and glanced at Li Wuchang, feeling that his fourth son seemed to have changed a lot, although he was still so cynical, but his words and deeds were much more mature.

In the past, Li Wuchang saw that he was like a mouse seeing a cat, he was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything, but today he talked eloquently without stage fright.

Also, Li Wuxing and Li Wuchang have not been at eye to eye since they were children, and every time they meet, they have to talk about each other, like hooligans quarreling, and they almost do it.

In addition, every time Li Wuchang encounters preaching, he disagrees with it and is unconvinced, but in the face of the reproach of the second lady today, he is as good as a stream, his demeanor is sincere, and he is not as absent-minded as in the past.

Could it be that he suddenly became sensible? Li Lingwu was greatly relieved, and his heart was secretly happy. How would he know that Li Wuchang just had a strange dream, and his mind has matured a lot, and it is no longer what it used to be.

Everyone was eating happily when a roar came from outside the hall.

"Zhang Cuirong, return my son's life. ”

Who is so bold as to call the eldest lady by her name?

The chief butler Ye Rong's face was ugly, and he said to Li Lingwu: "Master, the third lady's illness has been committed again, and the old slave will send her back to the room." So saying, he walked out.

But it was too late.

A woman in her forties, with her hair disheveled and barefoot and single, rushed into the dining room, followed by several little maids, shouting: "Third lady, third lady......"

It was the third lady of the Li family, the Zhao family.

Zhao's face was pale, his eyes were red, and he rushed towards the eldest lady Zhang, shouting in his mouth: "Zhang Cuirong, you wicked woman, kill my son, you return my son's life...... Thou wicked woman, I curse thee not to die well...... Come to a sticky end. It was a gritted tooth and a roar.

"Hold on to this crazy woman. Zhang shouted.

Zhang's eldest maid, Le Dong, stepped forward and pointed at Zhao's chest, Zhao's body was so weak, spread on the ground, unable to speak, just looked at Zhang viciously.

Li Wuchang was stunned, he didn't expect that this Le Dong would also be able to do martial arts, and it seemed that his martial arts were not low.

Second Lady Liu waved her hand and said, "Send her back to the room." A few little maids who came with Zhao supported Zhao and left with their heads down.

The chief butler Ye Rong yelled at all the subordinates: "Look at anything, follow me down." "Take Qian Gui and all the maids and walk out of the dining room quickly.

Li Zhongyue and Li Qing also got up, and Li Zhongyue hugged his fist at Li Lingwu: "Big brother, let's go down first and get busy, call us at any time if we have something." After speaking, he left in a hurry, not wanting to get involved in Li Lingwu's housework.

Li Lingwu, who had been watching all this coldly, nodded.

There is only one Li Lingwu left in the house, two ladies and Li Wuchang's four brothers and sisters.

There was silence, and the pins could be heard in the room.

"Master, the concubine is wronged. Zhang broke the silence, tears rippling.

"Yes, master, my sister has been dedicated to this family all these years, who has seen my sister in the capital who doesn't praise her virtuousness, how can you blame my sister for Mowgli's things. Zhao's family made a big fuss every few days, scolding her sister, her sister took pity on her son was gone, and she never bothered with her for so many years, but every time she made such a fuss, it was not good to spread it. "Liu's grievances for Zhang's family.

Li Wuchang thought of the third brother Li Wuji.

Li Wuji is the son of the third lady Zhao, the same age as Li Wuxing, he has been talented since he was a child, he can read at the age of three, began to practice martial arts at the age of five, entered the second grade at the age of seven, and broke through the first bottleneck of Xi at the age of eleven, which caused a sensation in the entire Chang'an City.

It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, Li Wuji is too diligent, and at the age of twelve, due to excessive practice, he went mad and died.

Li Wuji's biological mother Zhao has been crazy since then, and even the first doctor in Chang'an City, Doctor Song, can't cure her, she often makes trouble with Zhang, thinking that Zhang killed Li Wuji.

Zhang's has never had anything to do with a crazy woman, but there have been many troubles, and Zhang's has been aggrieved.

Listening to Zhang's crying voice, the four juniors didn't dare to interject, and sat honestly and looked at Li Lingwu.

"You bear it, don't worry about her, I can't live with her. Let the housekeeper change her to a more secluded yard and arrange more people to take good care of her. Li Lingwu finally spoke.

Zhang stopped crying and said softly: "What did the master say, how can this be blamed on the master." ”

Li Lingwu waved his hand to a few juniors, it seemed that he didn't want them to hear something.

Li Wufeng got up and said, "The children go back first, mother have a good rest, don't think too much." ”

The brothers and sisters went back to their respective hospitals.

Li Wuchang thought as he walked, his brows furrowed.

Li Wuji has been dead for more than six years, the third lady has been crazy for six years, and her consciousness is not clear, as for what she said that the eldest lady murdered Li Wuji, the Li family has always thought that it was the third lady's crazy words, and they didn't take it to heart.

First, the eldest lady married into the Li family for nearly 30 years and has been known for her gentleness and generosity.

Second, the eldest lady is indeed quite strict with Li Wuji, but she is even more strict with her own son Li Wufeng, which is all due to her hope that her son Jackie Chan will be.

And the third lady urged Li Wuji to practice martial arts all day long, and Li Wuji rarely had time to have fun, so the people in the house always said in private that the third lady killed her son by herself.

Li Wuchang used to think so.

I remember when I went to play with Li Wuji when I was a child, the third lady would always get angry and explain to Li Wuji, don't always play, practice hard, and strive to become the first person in the young generation in Chang'an as soon as possible, and asked Li Wuchang not to always harass her son.

However, seeing the third lady going crazy today, Li Wuchang was a little strange.

Judging from his experience, Zhao's situation is the most typical indirect psychosis, talking nonsense when he is confused, delirious, and attacking people indiscriminately, but he generally does not mess around when he is sober.

Just now, Li Wuchang looked at the eyes of the third lady, although they were red, but Li Wuchang was sure that the third lady was absolutely sober, but she was very excited and looked a little crazy, this situation Li Wuchang had seen many times in his previous life.

"Could it be that there is another hidden reason for the death of the third brother?" Li Wuchang patted his head, his mind confused.

"When did I become so cranky, forget it, I still don't want to, I can't figure out my own affairs. Li Wuchang laughed at himself, no longer entangled, it was more reliable to think about how to deal with the martial arts conference in a few months, he didn't want to be thrown into the Jizhou army.

Back in their yard, the nurse and Xiaoru were eating, eating dishes that Li Wuchang hadn't finished in the morning. Li Wuchang said: "Nurse, how do you eat leftovers, why don't you go to the kitchen to get some fresh?"

The nurse rolled her eyes and said: "There are rules for the kitchen to be distributed to each courtyard, this is our own small kitchen, just this table in the morning, it cost ten taels of silver, it is worth your monthly money, so it is a waste?"

"I only have ten taels of silver a month, right, then I'll go to Fenghualou to have fun...... That bard is right, and it costs more than that, so where does my money come from? Li Wuchang wondered.

"It's really a broken head, you forgot that your mother left you a lot of silver, but unfortunately you spent almost it, and once you took your mother's jewelry and gave it away. The nurse complained.

"Am I such a bastard?" Li Wuchang thought about it carefully, there was really such a thing, his expression was a little sneering, and then he continued: "It seems that I want to get my mother's jewelry back...... Who am I going to give it to, I want to think. ”

"The eldest lady has already redeemed it, and I will take it. It's hard for the eldest lady, cleaning up the mess for you all day long, you asked the old people in the family to teach you kung fu when you were a child, and it made you angry, and the eldest lady didn't say anything about you. You are weak, the eldest lady personally boils the soup, and sends it back once in a few days, and it will be six or seven years. You messed around all day, but the eldest lady never reproached you, and helped you redeem the jewelry, and said that if you were short of silver, she would let you go to her. ”

The nurse muttered a lot, telling the good of the eldest lady.

Li Wuchang felt a strange feeling in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong.

Even if the eldest mother is so concerned about Li Wufeng and Li Wufeng's two biological children, she has never been so concerned, right?

"Hey, what about you, are you listening, don't mess around in the future. The nurse saw that Li Wuchang looked absent-minded again, thinking that he hadn't listened again.

Li Wuchang retracted his thoughts and said with a smile: "Listening, I will definitely be a new person in the future, and I won't let you worry." He picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a chicken leg for the nurse; "The nurse eats more, I'm tired these days." ”

"I seem to have changed as a person, and I know that I care about people. The nurse muttered and glanced at Li Wuchang strangely.

Li Wuchang smiled, sandwiched another piece of meat for Xiaoru, and teased: "Xiaoru also eat more, you are still developing, and you don't have two taels of meat on your chest." ”

Xiao Ru blushed and said, "Thank you, young master." ”

"I'll kill you bastard. "The nurse went crazy.

"I'm going to practice, you use it slowly, use it slowly. Li Wuchang ran away.

Seeing Li Wuchang running away, Xiao Ru said, "Auntie, the young master seems to have changed and become much more kind." ”

"I guess I was scared by the master just now, you don't care about him, if he bullies you, you tell your aunt, and your aunt will make the decision for you. The nurse also wondered in her heart, when did this kid become so obedient, he listened patiently to everything he said, and took the initiative to admit his mistakes, he really changed his person.
