Every year on the night before Chinese New Year's Eve, it is the family banquet of the Li family, the holy hand of Baiyun Mansion.

On this day, the Li family will invite all their relatives to come, without any friends, just simple family members to get together, have a meal, and reunite in advance.

Therefore, on this day, no matter what happens to the children of the Li family who are outside, they have to return home and have a meal with their parents and relatives.

But at this time, the Li family's family banquet had already been arranged, but the head of the family, Li Yuntian, did not sit at the table, standing under the innermost eaves of the courtyard, watching the Li family at the door come in one after another.

The Li family is very large, and there are many members of the family, so all of the people who can come to this courtyard are all relatives with status or important relatives in the Li family.

Everyone knows that the current Li Yuntian is very unhappy.

Because his pearl in the palm has not come back until now, and there has been no news.

"The head of the house, everyone is here, and the wine and food can be served at any time, isn't it ......?"

The housekeeper walked up to Li Yuntian's side and asked.

Li Yuntian said coldly: "What do you mean everyone is here?"

The housekeeper naturally knew that the head of the house was talking about Li Yuebai, the third lady who had not yet returned, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

At this time, the second lady walked out of the back room, one step at a time, very moving.

Many people know that the wife of the Li family of the Holy Hand passed away, and he has always insisted on not marrying a wife, and then something happened in Jingzhou, and then he married a woman from the Jiang family, which is the second lady now.

Li Yuntian is nearly fifty years old, but this second lady is only in her early thirties, and the difference between the two is nearly 20 years old.

But the eldest son is also fifteen years old this year, and he has even begun to go out for medical treatment, which makes the second lady even more unhappy.

The second lady wants her children to inherit the Li family's family business in the future.

"Master, why haven't you opened the table at this hour?"

The second lady didn't seem to hear the conversation between Li Yuntian and the housekeeper before.

Li Yuntian frowned slightly, he knew that the second lady had always disliked Li Yuebai.

"Alright, everyone is here, let's have a table. ”

The housekeeper knew that the head of the house didn't want to quarrel and cause trouble on such a day, so he agreed to open the table.

So, everyone took their seats, and the back kitchen began to serve.

After the dishes were all served, Li Yuntian looked at the vacant position next to him, which should have been Li Yuebai's position, but now the position was empty, and Li Yuntian felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

When Li Yuebai left Jingzhou, Li Yuntian sent someone to secretly follow and protect Li Yuebai, but in the past month or two, there has been no news back.

Although Li Yuntian felt that his daughter should not be in any danger, he still couldn't let go of it in his heart.

"Now that everyone is together, come, raise a glass first......"

"But my sister hasn't come yet!"

Just when everyone was about to raise their glasses, the ten-year-old son of the second lady suddenly said this.

At this kind of festive feast, the most taboo is to say that someone is absent, and if it is missing, it is incomplete.

Therefore, many people know that Li Yuebai has not come back, but no one has said it.

But the second young master was only a ten-year-old child after all.

As soon as he said this, Li Yuntian raised the wine glass he had just picked up in his hand, but it turned out to be put down again.

At this time, Li Yuebai's aunt at the table next to her said, "What's going on with Yuebai this time? Forget it, don't wait for her, let's start first. ”

Although there was a slight reproach in his tone, many people still heard that this was a round for Li Yuebai.

At this time, the second lady said coldly: "If you are late, it doesn't hurt to wait." Although I am a stepmother, I can't wait for my children to come home for dinner. ”

Everyone knows that there has been no news of Li Yuebai's return until now.

If you wait like this, you won't be able to.

As soon as Li Yuntian wanted to speak, another female relative who had a good relationship with the second lady said: "The head of the family, it's not me who meddles in things. The woman is not staying, the moon is so big, it's time to find an in-law. Otherwise, it won't be a problem to always run out in the future. ”

Originally, Li Yuebai just went to Qingzhou Yundao Mansion to visit her uncle's family, but now this woman said it, which means something else entirely.

At this time, a girl of the same age as Li Yuebai said: "Yes, I heard that Sister Yuebai and the fourth son of the Shangguan family often have contacts, if Sister Yuebai can marry her, it will also be of great benefit to our Li family." ”

Everyone knows that the fourth son of the Shangguan family is inferior and obscene.

Although the Shangguan family is one of the four major families of Baiyun Mansion, no one is willing to marry their daughter to the fourth son of the Shangguan family.

Now that this girl said such things, she was obviously dissatisfied with Li Yuebai.

Then, a few more people also spoke, but most of the content was to marry Li Yuebai early.

At this time, many people have already seen that these people who speak are friends with the second lady.

And the entire Li family, the eldest lady and the second miss are already married, and the remaining two young masters are far inferior to Li Yuebai in terms of medical skills.

Therefore, the second lady can't wait to let Li Yuebai marry off immediately, and the more she marries badly, the less threatening she will be to her son.

Li Yuntian couldn't help but feel upset when he heard these seven aunts and eight aunts start chewing their tongues.

"Enough is enough!

As Li Yuntian said a word, everyone immediately fell silent.

And at this moment, a loud voice came from outside the gate.

"Li Shiwen, the commander of the Jingzhou Wei Cangyun Department, to-"

Cangyun Division!

Guarding Jingzhou Baiyun Mansion.

Among the four major families of Baiyun Mansion in the past, two families were very dissatisfied with the way the Wulin League supervised Kyushu, and they were even more against Li Shiwen, who had just arrived.

Then overnight, the two families were directly wiped out by the Cangyun Ministry with a very perfunctory excuse.

As a result, the Jiang family and another family took their place and became the new four major families of Baiyun Mansion.

But from that time on, don't say that it is the entire Baiyun Mansion, even the entire Jingzhou knows, don't offend this ruthless person named Li Shiwen.

But today Li Yuntian didn't expect that Li Shiwen would come.

Li Yuntian immediately stood up to greet him, but Li Shiwen had already come to the door of the courtyard, and happened to meet Li Yuntian, who was about to go out to greet him.

"It turned out to be Commander Li, please inside, please inside. ”

Li Yuntian's attitude towards Li Shiwen was extremely polite, after all, this one person was in charge of the entire Cangyun Department, God knows what would happen if he was unhappy.

But what everyone didn't expect was that after this Li Shiwen saw Li Yuntian, he was even more polite than Li Yuntian, I don't know how many times.

"Brother Li is serious, he's serious, I'm really sorry to disturb today's family banquet. I'm really sorry, but I will definitely bring a gift to the door to make amends in the future. I came here today because I had a letter from home, and my friend in Yuzhou asked me to send it to Brother Li. ”

Li Shiwen said, took a letter from the hands of his subordinates, and handed it to Li Yuntian with both hands.

At this moment, the Li family in the entire courtyard was taken aback.

What kind of big man did Li Yuebai meet outside, and he could let the commander of the Cangyun Department come to deliver the letter in person, and his attitude was so respectful!
