Chapter 69 Returning Home for the New Year



Li Rongrong was infected by his mood and looked up at him through the mirror. She heard him say softly, "As long as you like it."

The two were chatting when suddenly a ring rang.

"Wait a minute, I have a call."

After saying something to Fusu, she picked up the phone and answered it.

"Hey, big brother."

Hearing her voice, Li Moyuan's cold tone on the other end of the phone softened a little.

"I'll be back from abroad tomorrow. If there's anything you like, I'll buy it for you."

When Li Rongrong heard this, a warm current surged in her heart, and the corners of her mouth slightly lifted up, revealing a bright smile: "Thank you, brother. Actually, I don't have anything special to want. As long as you can come back safely, I will be very satisfied."

From childhood to adulthood, she has always lived in a wealthy family environment and has no lack of material things.

Even if she didn't ask for anything, her eldest brother would always bring her many exquisite gifts every time he came back from abroad. Therefore, she didn't care much about material needs.

...

...

Seeing that his sister was so sensible, Li Moyuan stopped talking about this topic and cleverly changed the subject.

"By the way, the New Year is only half a month away. If anyone at the old house says anything unpleasant to you, remember to tell my brother in time and let me handle it."

He was well aware of the complex relationships within the family and was worried that his sister would be wronged.

Especially the gossip girls in the Li family, each of them is a troublemaker. Especially their youngest sister-in-law, she is an even more difficult character.

Ever since Li Rongrong did not agree to marry the person of the arranged marriage and chose to run away from home to open a scenic spot, she has been dissatisfied with Li Rongrong.

Of course, these dissatisfactions were not directly expressed in front of Li Moyuan. After all, he was the head of the Li family. Who would dare to offend him easily?

He learned all this by secretly sending people to investigate.

When he thought of those messy relatives, Li Moyuan couldn't help but sneer.

These people usually only stir up trouble in the family, but never know what restraint is.

If they dare to set their sights on Li Rongrong, they must be tired of living!

Thinking of this, a few zeros were missing from the dividend document he was about to sign.

Li Rongrong naturally understood what her elder brother meant, but she didn't want him to worry, so she said softly, "Brother, don't worry. I'm also the heir of the Li family, how could I let anyone bully me?"

The heirs of the Li family are trained very strictly, and their skills, whether in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, or business, are all maxed out.

Even martial arts skills cannot be left behind.

It is this strict requirement for heirs that has allowed the Li family to be passed down for many years and remain prosperous.

In fact, both the brother and sister are qualified to inherit the Li family, but Li Rongrong does not want to take over, so Li Moyuan naturally becomes the head of the family.

Li Moyuan still had a lot of things to deal with, so the two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.

Li Rongrong put down her phone, turned to face the mirror, and said with a smile: "My eldest brother will be back tomorrow."

Young Master Fusu on the other side of the mirror immediately asked with concern: "Rongrong, is someone bullying you?"

"No, it's just that some clan members always fail to see the situation clearly."

Prince Fusu understood and instantly thought of the clan power of the Qin Dynasty.

After my father unified the six kingdoms, he suppressed many clan forces, which led to the great Qin Dynasty today, which is united from top to bottom and highly efficient.

According to the recent news coming from Xianyang City, those clan relatives are not very honest.

Thinking of this, Prince Fusu began to report his recent itinerary, "Rongrong, the Great Wall has now been built to Lintao. The road has been blocked by heavy snow in the past few days. We will return to the capital after the snow melts."

She had gotten used to calling him Rongrong, but it still made her feel confused.

After a moment of reaction, she asked, "Are the three hundred thousand troops going back together?"

Prince Fusu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to ask this question. "Three hundred thousand troops must be stationed in the northern border and cannot return to Xianyang."

Hearing this, Li Rongrong nodded. It made sense. What if the Huns launched another surprise attack after everyone left?

On the other side of the mirror, Fusu added: "But we can still bring some people back."

Those stationed in the northern border could not return to Xianyang City for many years. Some people came with their families and settled down in the borderland like Mohist and Gongshujia.

There are also some families who have elderly people or who are really inconvenient to move, and they are looking forward to returning home.

After discussing this topic, the two stopped talking, said good night to each other, and went to rest.

Four days passed in a flash, and the heavy snow on the road had almost melted.

In the frontier camp, the cold wind howled. There were piles of charcoal fires in the camp, and the soldiers sat around them.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves, and a general hurried over and announced, "Brothers, I have good news to tell you! Prince Fusu will personally lead us back to Xianyang City to celebrate the New Year!"

The news shocked everyone.

A soldier widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Brothers, did you hear that? Prince Fusu wants to take us back to Xianyang City to celebrate the New Year!" His voice was full of surprise and expectation.

Another young soldier was so excited that he almost jumped up and said excitedly, "Really? I... I am not dreaming, am I?"

He held tightly to the arm of his companion, his eyes sparkling with joy.

Another middle-aged soldier also had red eyes and a choked voice: "After being away from home for so many years, I can finally go back to see my mother." He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner excitement.

The old soldier patted the middle-aged soldier on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Yes, we all owe our families so much. This time when we go back, we must spend time with them."

"I want to buy the most beautiful pearl hairpin for my wife."

"I...I just want to give my mother a good hug and tell her that my son has not let her down."

The soldiers discussed what to do after returning home, their eyes filled with longing for their families.

It was at this time that Prince Fusu slowly drove his convoy into the camp, and the soldiers immediately lined up to welcome them.

Prince Fusu smiled and spoke gently, "Comrades, thank you for your hard work! This year we will go home for the New Year.

The old general who had stayed in the northern border for many years had already shed tears on the spot, and knelt down excitedly, "Master Fusu! How could I, your humble servant, be so concerned about you!

He has been stationed in the northern border for more than ten years. He has not been home for more than ten years and doesn't know whether everything at home has changed.

Thinking of this, his voice trembled, "Master, can we...can we really go back?"

Prince Fusu nodded and smiled, "Of course, every soldier who has contributed to the peace of the Qin border is the hero that Fusu admires the most. Your family members in Xianyang City are also waiting for you to return."
