Li Xun walked out of the imperial mausoleum with a gloomy look. During today's conversation with Duke Mu, many of Li Xun's previous impressions of Zhao Zhi were completely overturned. Now, his thoughts are very confused.

Seeing Li Xun coming out of the imperial mausoleum, Ouyang Li quickly led his horse to greet him.

"Lord, go home?"

Li Xun came here to meet Duke Mu, and he didn't want too many people to know about it, so he asked Jiang Daxiong to escort You Min back to Fengjing first, while he took Ouyang Li to the imperial mausoleum.

Li Xun shook his head: "Go to the manor."

Ouyang Li saw that Li Xun looked bad, so he didn't say much, handed him the horse rein, and the two of them got on the horse and headed towards the manor.

When we arrived at the manor, it was just after dusk, and the sky was getting dark. It was now dinner time, and there were few people along the way.

There are two relatively luxurious houses in the manor, one large and one small. The smaller one is Yu Guang's residence. Li Xun gave it to Yu Guang when he got married. The larger one is Li Mancang, where Li Xun and his son live.

Other courtyard.

The people in the manor are very simple. Li Mancang likes the atmosphere here very much and will stay here for a few days every month.

When Li Xun came to the other courtyard, the door was not closed. All the people living in the village were acquaintances. It was difficult for outsiders to come in. The public security was very good. Moreover, the people in the manor were very grateful and respectful to Li Mancang and his son. What happened?

Just shout and everyone will rush to help immediately.

The gatekeeper was an old man of half a century who was lame. Everyone called him Old Han, or Old Man Han. This man was from the same hometown as Li Mancang and was an acquaintance. He once helped Li Mancang. Later, he heard that Li Mancang was prosperous.

So he came over to find him, and Li Mancang gave him a bite of food because of his long kindness.

"Old man Han, it's time to eat."

Li Xun walked past him and said hello.

Old Han was squatting by the door eating. When he heard the sound, he looked up and saw that it was Li Xun. He quickly put down his bowl, stood up and said respectfully: "Master, you are here. I will inform the master right away."

"No, you eat your food. Once you're done, take the horse to the stable and feed it some food."

"Yes, Master, I understand."

Li Xun confessed and then walked into the house.

When he arrived at the door of the living room, Li Xun looked inside. Li Mancang was sitting there eating. Beside him, there were two women, one old and one young. The older one was twenty-six and the younger was only five or six years old.

"Lord, I will go to the side hall to eat."

Ouyang Li whispered, "Li Xun usually doesn't have any airs. He usually pulls Ouyang Li and Jiang Daxiong to sit at the same table and eat together. If I don't sit down, you stand and talk."

Li Xun nodded: "Go ahead. This woman is probably the old man's crush. It would be embarrassing for you to be there."

Ouyang Li coughed twice and left quickly.

Then, Li Xun walked into the living room. Li Mancang felt someone coming in. He looked up and saw that it was Li Xun. He was surprised and said, "Why are you here at this time?"

Li Xun chuckled and said: "This is my home. I can come whenever I want. Old man, you just forgot about the old man because you have a new person, right?"

At this time, the two women, one large and one small, also stood up and stood with their backs to Li Xun, not daring to look back. They lowered their heads and remained silent.

Li Mancang glanced at them, then frowned and said to Li Xun: "You are a high-ranking official, why are you still speaking so openly?"

Li Xun came to sit next to Li Mancang and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, old man, don't be angry."

After that, Li Xun looked at the mother and daughter opposite. Although Li Mancang didn't tell them the information about these two people, Li Xun had already found out clearly.

This woman is called Shen Chunniang. She comes from a poor family. Her father is also a scholar, but he is just a scholar. But in any case, based on this alone, Shen Chunniang's background can be considered innocent, and she is somewhat better than those ordinary people.

Shen Chunniang got married at the age of eighteen. Her husband's family was a businessman who owned a restaurant. Compared with ordinary people, their conditions were very good. However, her husband-in-law was a complete prodigal. He was addicted to eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. After losing all her family wealth and forcing her parents-in-law to death, Shen Chunniang had no choice but to take her daughter to seek refuge with a relative. This relative was none other than Li Xun's good friend Yu Guang. This is why, after Li Xun came back, , Yu Guang took the initiative to come to the door and tactfully mentioned the matter between Shen Chunniang and Li Mancang. After all, Li Xun is now completely different from the past. Although the two are good friends, their status is completely different. , Yu Guang didn't want Li Xun to misunderstand, it was him who pulled the strings and used Shen Chunniang to cling to their Li family.

Li Xun didn't think much about this. He thought it was good. They were all acquaintances and knew everything about them.

Shen Chunniang lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Xun. She held her daughter with one hand and grabbed the corner of her clothes with the other, looking nervous and uneasy. However, her daughter looked innocent and kept staring at Li Xun with her big eyes open. Look, I am very curious.

Li Xun waved to the little girl, who came over.

"What is your name?"

Li Xun hugged the little girl and asked softly.

"Uncle, my name is Wang Zhen, and my nickname is Zhen'er."

Li Xun touched her little head and chuckled: "Don't call me uncle, call me brother."

Hearing Li Xun ask Wang Zhen to call him brother, Li Mancang suddenly had a smile on his face, and he was even more relieved. He pulled Shen Chunniang to sit down and whispered: "There are no outsiders here, don't be restrained."

Shen Chunniang nodded and looked directly at Li Xun for the first time.

Li Mancang was an honest and kind person. Although he was rich, he was benevolent and righteous. He was very approachable. As for his only son Li Xun, although Shen Chunniang knew a lot about him from Yu Guang, today was the first time he met him.

Yu Guang said that Li Xun was an open-minded person, attached great importance to friendship, had a carefree temper, and liked to joke a little. Like his old man, he was very approachable. But when we met today, Li Xun gave Shen Chunniang the feeling of being very mature. He is steady, his expression is resolute, and his temperament is like a mountain, and his whole person faintly exudes the aura of a superior person.

Li Xun teased Wang Zhen for a while, then looked at Shen Chunniang and said, "The old man has been hiding this from me. Now that we meet, you are better than I thought."

Shen Chunniang is fair and tender, and her appearance is not said to be perfect, but it is considered to be excellent. Her appearance looks very gentle, kind and demure.

Shen Chunniang said softly: "Your father often talks about you to me."

"The old man must always say bad things about me."

Li Xun laughed and joked: "The old man is a nice guy, but he is a bit lazy and has a lot of minor problems. You have to be mentally prepared."

Shen Chunniang was laughed at and covered her mouth to laugh. Wang Zhen beside her also laughed.

"You brat, does any son say that about his father?"

Li Mancang's tone was dissatisfied, but his face was full of smiles.

Li Xun smiled: "It's best to make it clear in advance, so that Shen Chunniang can be prepared, and it's not too late to regret now."

Shen Chunniang said softly: "Brother Mancang is very nice."

Li Xun nodded and said no more. At this time, the servants brought bowls and chopsticks and everyone started eating.

After eating, Shen Chunniang led Wang Zhen away.

"Gouer, Chun Niang is a very good person."

Li Xun said silently: "I don't care if she is good or not, as long as she treats you well, if I treat you sincerely, I will call her aunt and show her respect."

Li Mancang nodded, patted his son on the shoulder and said no more.
