Mr. Li's boats are as exquisite as before.

The weather at this time was no better than in May, and a brazier had already been lit in the cabin, making it as warm as spring.

Xiao Bi opened the curtain and walked in. She felt a warm fragrance hit her face and couldn't help but shiver.

Mr. Li invited her to sit down, and then ordered the maids to fetch hot water and serve hot soup and snacks.

Xiao Bi took the hot handkerchief and wiped her face, then put her cold hands into the hot water, and then felt better.

"City Lord, please first drink a bowl of hot soup to warm your stomach." Mr. Li personally filled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Xiao Bi.

Xiao Bi wiped her hands and said with a smile: "Now that we have Brother Laoli, how is everything in the city?"

Mr. Li said: "The city lord can rest assured. The old city lord is here to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Xiao Pei was a little depressed, so she didn't want to talk much.

She picked up the spoon, stirred it gently, and drank slowly.

Mr. Li told the maids to take good care of him, and then said: "The Lord of the City has a good rest, I will go out first."

Xiao Bi nodded and watched him leave.

The hot soup is very fresh and sweet. After drinking it, I feel warm and comfortable in my stomach.

Her appetite suddenly whetted her appetite, and she ate quickly from the snack plate.

After eating forty-five minutes, Xiao Bi's eyes gradually became drowsy, and finally she fell asleep on the table.

The maids did not dare to disturb her and were afraid that she would catch cold, so they could only find a big cloak and gently cover her body, and walked out quietly.

Mr. Li, who was guarding outside, saw this and asked hurriedly: "Why did you come out?"

The maids quickly informed him of the situation in the cabin.

Mr. Li said: "You guys wait here, I have some important things to do.

If I have not returned when the city lord wakes up, you can follow her back to the city first."

"Yes." The maids responded.

Mr. Li jumped on a boat and sailed in the opposite direction.

About a cup of tea later, the boat arrived at a bend in the river and approached a merchant ship parked on the shore.

"Good morning, Mr. Li." A young man standing on the deck of the merchant ship saluted.

Mr. Li stepped onto the merchant ship on the sampan and said to him: "Is the young owner of the village back?"

"The young master has been back for half an hour and is waiting for you in the cabin."

After that, the young man led Mr. Li outside the cabin and opened the door for him: "Sir, please."

Mr. Li slowly walked into the cabin and saw Wei Congyun, dressed in Tsing Yi, sitting at the table drinking tea.

"Brother Lu Sheng is really a noble man with a lot of work. It's really not easy for me to meet you." He put down the tea cup and looked over, saying with a half-smile.

Mr. Li's expression changed, and he said coldly: "Don't do this to me. I still have many things to deal with over there, and I don't have the time to chat with you."

As he said that, he had already walked to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Wei Congyun sneered: "With a new master, my whole person is completely different."

Mr. Li said angrily: "What else are you dissatisfied with? Yes, you were in trouble last night, but can you blame me for this?"

It’s not me who asked you to come to Ruoshui City to propose marriage!”

Wei Congyun chuckled and said: "No wonder City Lord Chunyu has trusted you so much over the years, and your adopted mother has also regarded you as a confidant. In the past, my little brother really looked down on you."

Mr. Li said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess asked the young village master to come to Ruoshui City to propose marriage, why didn't you inform me in advance?

Have you ever thought about how passive this makes me?!"

The smile on Wei Congyun's face suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Then have you ever thought about how passive I am because of the fact that Miss Chunyu is already married and is about to become a mother?

Li Lusheng, you can be regarded as growing up under the care of your adoptive mother. You should know how she treats you.

How heartbroken will she be once she finds out that you are seeking glory from the Lord?"

Li Lusheng was furious.

Over the years, he neither dared to forget Ji Lingyu's kindness nor let down Chunyu City Lord.

Fortunately, Ji Lingyu is not Ji Fubing. There is no deep hatred between her and the city lord, and they even have many common goals.

For example, seeking revenge against Emperor Ji'an, or detoxifying the eldest girl.

He fully hoped that the two of them could work together, so that not only would they be able to get twice the result with half the effort, he would not need to be in a dilemma.

But he didn't know what Ji Lingyu was thinking, and there was always something strange about his behavior.

Even though something is obviously very simple, she always makes it complicated.

Sometimes he even felt that she was not interested in avenging Emperor Qingde and Empress Chu, and she simply wanted to use the antidote of Tianmu Tears in exchange for Ruoshui City's help.

As for what kind of help he was doing, he had no way of knowing.

The goals of the Li family and the 50,000 Jin people in Ruoshui City are the same.

That is, he wanted to avenge Emperor Qing De, Empress Chu, and the souls who died under Xiang Ni's sword.

Because of this, they were willing to surrender to Ji Lingyu and consider her, the only sister of Emperor Qing De, as their master.

But in order to achieve her own goals, she plotted against City Lord Chunyu again and again, which really chilled the hearts of them all.

At this time, when he heard Wei Congyun say such ugly words as "turning one's back on the Lord and asking for glory", he really couldn't bear it anymore.

"Young Master, I cannot bear such a crime. There are some things I have said that you may not believe.

I only just found out about the eldest daughter’s marriage and pregnancy, and I didn’t deliberately hide it.”

Of course Wei Congyun didn't believe it.

Li Lusheng was the most trusted person by City Lord Chunyu, and the two of them had been almost inseparable for so many years.

Everyone knows that Miss Chunyu is the heir of Ruoshui City. Even if her marriage is not a big deal, it is impossible that even people like Li Lusheng will not know about it.

Seeing that he didn't believe him at all, Mr. Li said helplessly: "Young Master, it's not that I like to sow discord and spread rumors and cause trouble. What is going on with Miss Chunyu? You'd better go and ask Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Wrangling with me here will accomplish nothing except wasting time and energy."

Wei Congyun's expressionless face seemed to be torn apart.

He had no parents since he was a child, until his adoptive mother brought him to Congyun Villa when he was five years old, and named him after referring to the word "Congyun".

For more than ten years, his adoptive mother had taken great care of him and even spent a lot of money to hire famous teachers to teach him how to read and practice martial arts.

He thought that she had absolute trust in him and would never hide anything.

Unexpectedly, all this was just a figment of his own imagination, and his adoptive mother had been lying to him all along.

Of course, he could also choose not to believe Li Lusheng. After all, he didn't treat his adoptive mother wholeheartedly.

But he is not an idiot, and he can still tell whether other people's words are true or false.

Mr. Li didn't want to get entangled with him, so he stood up and said, "The city lord has contracted the cold. It is inconvenient for me to stay here longer and take my leave."

"Wait a minute." Wei Congyun called him: "Brother Lu Sheng, can you tell me whether this new city lord is really from the Shangguan clan?"
