Chapter 103

As it got dark, Lin Nanjie watched the moon in the yard.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. The heat has dropped slightly at night and it is not so hot and humid anymore.

There were all kinds of fruits on the table. Lin Nan was lying on a recliner, leisurely taking out a storybook and reading it with great interest. Occasionally, he would lift his fair and slender fingers to pinch a bunch of grapes, and eat them while reading, feeling very comfortable.

I didn't know that Li Chengsi next door was already very angry.

Uncle Li had this recliner specially made for him. It is made of rattan and is soft and comfortable.

When Li Chenghuan came over, Lin Nanjie had already fallen asleep on the recliner.

The person on the recliner had a slender figure. She had taken good care of herself for so many days. Except for a slightly rounded face, she had not gained any weight. She was asleep, holding a storybook in her hand. Her fingers were white and slender, like fresh and eye-catching green onions. Perhaps it was because the night wind was a little cool, and she sneezed. Li Chengzhen took off his outer robe, covered Lin Nanjie with it, and gently picked her up, preparing to go back to the house to sleep.

At this moment, Li Dai suddenly walked in in a panic: "Sir... Your Majesty..."

Li Chenghuan stopped, holding Lin Nanjie in his arms, turned to look at Li Dai, and lowered his voice: "Why are you so nervous?"

Li Dai stopped a few steps in front of Li Chenghuan and whispered, "The fourth young master Li is outside the door asking to see you."

"Li Si?" The two words rolled around on Li Chenghuan's tongue.

Li Chengsi?

What is he doing here in the middle of the night?

Li Chenghuan put Lin Nanjie on the bed in the room, and then said to Li Dai: "Let him in."

Li Chengzhen carefully covered Lin Nanjie with the quilt and blew out the candles in the house before returning to the yard.

Li Dai has already brought the person over.

Li Si stood in the courtyard, wearing a long, clean moon-white gown, and looked particularly thin. His long sleeves drooped, and the veins on the back of his outstretched hand bulged, revealing the outline of his bony bones. His face was as pale as paper, revealing a sense of weakness that was terminally ill, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

Li Chenghuan frowned slightly, and smelled a strong fishy odor. His eyes slowly moved down, from Li Si's slightly sickly face to his right hand.

In his right hand was a rough straw rope with two fish hanging from it.

To be precise, there were two fish with only half of their bodies left.

The cat had eaten away the fish's belly and tail, leaving only half of its body, which was still covered in mud. The two fish looked around coldly, as if they were never closed, and their bodies gave off a foul odor. It was August, and no one knew how long the fish had been there, but the whole yard was filled with an unbearable stench.

Li Si stood in the yard, holding the fish, but seemed to have smelled nothing. He looked at Li Chenghuan across the air.

Li Dai stood behind Li Si, looking helpless and uncomfortable: "Mr. Li, what are you doing? It's already this hour, and you're barging in like this all of a sudden. It's not in accordance with etiquette."

"This smell is really bad. Why do you have to carry the fish?"

"My adult just went to bed, don't wake him up..."

Li Dai kept on talking, but Li Si paid no attention to him, his sick face looking calm.

Li Chenghuan stood in the corridor, looking across two steps at Li Si who was standing in the yard.

After staring at each other for a long time, Li Chengqian finally spoke: "Why are you here?"

Li Si looked at Li Chenghuan's face which was so close to him, and a morbid smile suddenly flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and threw the fish forward in front of Li Chenghuan.

"I don't know where this ignorant cat came from, but he actually buried the leftover fish under my window. I came here to ask for an explanation."

Li Dai let out an "Ah!" and his brain was on edge. He exclaimed in shock, "It was that stealing cat who did it!"

It really was related to his family. Li Dai suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was really that little beast who did this."

"My parents were wondering the other day if they could finish stealing several kilograms of fish."

"I didn't expect you had eaten half of it and buried it. I'm so sorry."

Li Dai quickly called someone to take out the stinky fish on the ground and throw it away.

"Quick, quick, take this fish away, don't pollute your eyes."

The servants immediately came and picked up the two stinky fishes, but the smell did not dissipate so quickly.

Li Chengqian stood in the corridor, the night wind blowing through the corridor, blowing up his robe sleeves. He stared at the frail man standing in front of him, walked slowly into the courtyard, and his low and cold voice echoed in the night wind: "It turned out that the cat at home was causing trouble and causing trouble for Mr. Li's house. It must be quite a lot of work to clean up. Li Dai, get some banknotes and compensate this Mr. Li."

"No need." Li Si raised his lips, "This fish has been buried at home for a few days and was just dug out. The smell in the yard won't go away for a while. I came here to ask for a place to stay."

Li Dai uttered an “ah” again, with a difficult look on his face: “Borrow…borrow my place!”

Li Si smiled wryly: "I see your house has a lot of rooms, why, is it inconvenient?"

The wrinkles between Li Dai's eyebrows were wrinkled.

They are in the wrong first, and if we don't agree, it will seem like they are bullying others by taking advantage of their power.

If it was just a casual stay, it would be fine.

But the emperor is here, and it would be inconvenient for outsiders to stay here.

Li Si and Li Chengqian's eyes met silently in the air, neither of them giving in.

Li Dai could only silently question Li Chenghuan with his eyes and wait for his master to speak.

At this moment, Li Chengsi and Li Chengqian were distracted by a voice at the same time.

[It stinks! Who brought the toilet here? ! ]

Li Chengzhen glanced at Li Si meaningfully, and then glanced at the place where the rotten fish was just found. It was self-evident who the culprit was.

Li Si refused to give in: "This smell is indeed like a latrine. Your mansion has caused me so much trouble. Right now my house smells like a latrine that has exploded. How can I still live here? Not to mention that I am a patient."

When Li Chenghuan heard what Li Si said, his expression changed several times in a short moment. He clenched his hands into fists, then unclenched them: "That makes sense."

At this moment, Lin Nanqi was awakened by the smoke in the room. He turned over and sat up dazedly, his face full of gloom, and he got up angrily.

He got out of bed, put on his shoes, pushed open the door, and saw two people standing outside.

Lin Nanjie pinched her nose and asked suspiciously, "What smells so bad?"

Li Dai recounted the whole story. After listening to it, Lin Nanjie was surprised. He had never expected it to be like this. He immediately felt embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Li Si smiled and said, "It seems that Lord Lin is more reasonable. He is not like some people who only use money to send people away."

Lin Nanjie blinked and looked at Li Chenghuan.

Li Chengqian looked innocent: "We can't just sit there and watch the cats in our house cause harm to this young master's house. I saw that Young Master Li was weak and had no servants at home, so I asked Li Dai to take out some money as compensation so that we could hire someone to clean up the mess."

Lin Nanqi nodded, his face full of apology: "I am really sorry, Brother Li. I see that Brother Li only has one servant with him. Brother Li is weak and sickly, and he has to take care of the mansion. I don't think he can take care of you. Uncle Li, get more money, and I will pick a few more strong servants for Brother Li's mansion tomorrow."

Li Chengsi's face fell. What? Was this a way to place spies in his house?

A gloomy smile appeared on his face: "Don't bother, just bother for a few nights, and wait for the smell to dissipate. Why should Lord Lin spend money?"

Lin Nanjie thought for a moment and said, "Brother Li is right. It is more important to solve the urgent matter first."

Li Chengsi was waiting for Lin Nanjie to say this, and smiled: "So, Lord Lin agrees to let me stay here?"

Lin Nan scratched his head and silently complained: [You are quite good at climbing up the ladder. ]

But he didn't show it on his face, and still said politely: "It's just a small matter, brother Li, there's no need to be polite."

Lee Seung-seok: …

Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "Okay, housekeeper, go and make the arrangements."

Li Dai accepted the order and said to Li Si, "Mr. Li, please follow me."

Li Dai took Li Si to live in the west wing, which was the room where Chang Fu lived before.

Lin Nanjie whispered in his heart, "This is the western wing where Chang Fu lived before. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Li Si just stepped over the threshold of the west room and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Li Dai was there to support him from behind, otherwise he would have been embarrassed in public.

Li Dai introduced enthusiastically, "This is the west wing, which is cleaned every day. Previously, a man who came to the capital to seek justice lived here. Who would have thought that he was here to frame our master? Fortunately, the truth came out in the end."

Lee Seung-seok: …

He rested his hands on the door frame, looking at the tidy west room. His eyes passed over the bed and he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach.

He knew that person.

He ordered someone to beat him.

After the fight, with blood all over his body, he slept on this bed? He was going to sleep here tonight?

Li Chengsi couldn't laugh anymore: "Is there any other room that can be lived in?"

Li Dai hesitated: "Yes, there are, but they are not cleaned. The rest are where our servants live. How can we let you down?"

"Sir, is there anything you are not satisfied with?"

If it weren't for the human skin mask on his face, Li Chengsi's expression would have been distorted. He wanted to vomit when he thought about the fact that such a dirty thing had slept on this bed.

"Forget it, this one... will do."

Li Dai entertained his guests with great courtesy. He ordered people to prepare all the necessary things, even changing all the bedding on the bed. He also brought bath water so that Li Chengsi could wash up properly.

Li Dai led the servants out of the west room and curled his lips.

This Mr. Li has a lot of things to do and is very difficult to serve.

He always looks at people with a gloomy look, which is very uncomfortable.

Lin Nanjie and Li Chengqian returned to the house and glanced at the west wing from the window. "I didn't expect the cat to bury the fish in his house. It's really strange."

The rear window was opened with a bang, and a little beast came in quietly, meowing all the way, and finally stopped at Lin Nanjie's feet, rubbing his ankles and acting coquettishly.

Lin Nanjie held the cat on his lap and tapped its wet nose: "You little bastard, you stole food and couldn't finish it, and you stole again when you couldn't finish it. You even buried it in other people's homes and caused trouble for them. Don't do that again next time."

Li Chenghuan held a dried fish in his slender fingers and placed it not too far from the cat. As soon as the cat smelled the dried fish, it immediately ran to Li Chenghuan and raised its upper body to eat the dried fish.

While feeding the cat, Li Chengqian stroked the cat's smooth and shiny fur with an expression of admiration on his face.

"Good cat."
