He smiled and waved at Li Zhaodi, "Zhaodi, take your sister to your room."

Li Zhaodi smiled dryly: "Second sister, follow me..."

"This is a two-story house with enough rooms. Why should two people share one?" Li Yun'er interrupted Li Zhaodi rudely with a cold look in her eyes, which was very different from her usual graceful and graceful demeanor.

Father Li explained perfunctorily, "Second girl, we just moved here yesterday, and the other rooms are not ready yet. Originally, your room was given to your brother to live in first."

This new house was also prepared by Fang Mingfeng. Fang Mingfeng didn't want to let Li Yunyan down, so he specially ordered someone to prepare a room for her. The furniture and furnishings inside were all newly purchased good things. When Li Hao saw it yesterday, he directly occupied the largest and best room.

For Li's father, this was a small matter. It was just a room. If Li Hao wanted to live there, he would let him live there.

"What do you mean by her room?" Li Hao suddenly felt a sense of crisis and screamed, "That's my room! My room!!"

He stomped his feet heavily, and the sound was so sharp and high-pitched that it seemed to pierce one's eardrums.

Li Yun'er frowned slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.

This naughty kid even dared to snatch the house that King Kang specially prepared for her. He is shameless and has no rules. How could such a lowly kid be her brother!

"No." Li Yun'er's face was stern. She felt angry, ashamed and disgusted. She said firmly without any fluctuation in her tone, "I'm not used to living with others. Ask him to move out of my room immediately."

Father Li wanted to persuade Li Yunyan with some kind words, but Li Hao started howling first: "I won't move!"

"Why should I move?!"

"This is my home! If you don't want to live here, just move out!"

Li Hao sat down on the ground, started to cry at the top of his voice, and wiped his eyes with one hand while pretending to cry.

"Oh, my darling, don't cry." Aunt Li felt sorry for her grandson and hurried to comfort him.

Then, she took two big steps forward, pointed her finger at Li Yunyan's nose, and said sternly: "Li Erya, you are a heartless bitch, you even dare to bully your brother, your only brother!"

"What's wrong with your brother wanting a room from you?!"

"You shameless money loser!"

Aunt Li glared at Li Yunmeng fiercely, and really wanted to slap her in the face to let this damn girl know how powerful she was.

She is not Li Erya! Li Yunyan almost shouted this sentence, but she bit her lips hard and held back the words.

With his grandmother's support, Li Hao stopped pretending to cry. He raised his chin and shouted at Li Yunyan: "I am your brother, what's yours is mine!"

"Humph, you are wearing gold and silver, but you didn't even bring me any delicious food!" Li Hao jumped up from the ground nimbly and pointed at the jade ring that Li Yun'er wore on his waist. "Give me your jade pendant, and I will forgive you."

Li Hao stretched out his hand towards Li Yunmeng domineeringly.

He is the only son and the heir of the Li family. He has been accustomed to everyone pampering and giving in to him since he was a child, so he naturally thinks that Li Yun'er has to listen to him.

"Bitch, give the jade pendant to your brother!" Aunt Li shouted, her burning eyes moving over the emerald green jade ring on Li Yun'er's waist. It was obvious that the jade had good water content, so it must be a good thing.

This kind of good thing should be saved for my precious grandson.

"No." Li Yun'er said with a stern face, "This is my jade pendant."

Faced with the unreasonable Li family, she couldn't smile at all and pursed her lips tightly.

"Second sister, you shouldn't talk to grandma and brother like that." Li Zhaodi advised righteously, suppressing the jealousy in her heart.

Whenever she saw Li Yunyan, Li Zhaodi couldn't help but think of how King Kang took good care of her, and the infatuated and affectionate look Fang Mingfeng had when he looked at her that day. The two men who didn't object didn't even look at her straight in the eye! Li Zhaodi felt very uncomfortable, took a deep breath, and continued: "Hao Ge'er is our biological brother, the root of our Li family. We are his sisters, so we should be nicer to him and give in to him."

"We only have this one little brother. When he grows up, he will be our support."

Li Zhaodi clenched the handkerchief in her hand; these words came completely from the heart.

"That's right." Li Hao wiped his nose with the back of his hand and said to Li Yunyan arrogantly, "If you don't treat me well, be careful that I won't support you when you get married! You're a money-loser!"

"Give me!"

He rushed towards Li Yun'er like a calf, grabbed her cloak with one hand and pulled off the jade ring on her waist with the other.

After grabbing the jade pendant, he turned around and ran, throwing himself into Aunt Li's arms.

Li Yun'er wanted to take back her jade ring, but she noticed that there was a pool of sticky liquid the size of a finger on the place where Li Hao had just pulled her cloak.

This is……

Li Yunmeng seemed to be frozen in an instant, and his whole body was stiff.

She was a beat slow to realize that it was Li Hao's snot, and goose bumps appeared all over her body.

This brand new cloak was just put on her by Chu You in the carriage, but now it is dirty.

Li Hao didn't care what he did at all. He held the jade ring in his hand and showed it off to Aunt Li happily, "Grandma, look, isn't my jade pendant beautiful?"

"It's beautiful." The more Aunt Li looked at it, the more she felt that the water content of the jade was really good. Her heart was burning with excitement, and she said to Father Li anxiously, "Da Lang, go to Gu's house with the second girl tomorrow to bring the betrothal gifts."

Father Li's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, so much betrothal gifts can't be given away to others for free."

Aunt Li smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. "These betrothal gifts are just right for Brother Hao to use when he gets married in the future."

"So much gold and silver is enough for our brother Hao to marry the county magistrate's daughter." Father Li looked forward to the future happily.

"The man the second girl is marrying is a prince. How can the county magistrate's daughter be worthy of Brother Hao? She must be at least the daughter of a prime minister." Aunt Li became more and more excited as she spoke. "With our Brother Hao's looks and character, he is worthy of even the emperor's princess."

"I want to marry the princess!" Li Hao laughed, snot dripping from his nostrils again, "I want to be a prince consort!"

The voices of the Li family came "buzzing", and Li Yun'er felt that the buzzing sound in her head became heavier. The four people in front of her were from two different worlds and were incompatible with her.

boom--

Li Yunmeng felt that the already shaky faith in his heart collapsed.

She had remained calm and composed during nearly ten days in the imperial prison, but at this moment she suddenly collapsed.

She tore off the big red cloak, threw it on the ground with disgust, then turned around and ran away holding her skirt.

She really couldn't stay in a family like this for even a moment! These people were so mean, so vulgar, and so greedy that she felt dirty just by looking at them.

This should obviously be Gu Yanfei's home, not hers.

She didn't have such a shameful family! "Second girl!"

"Second sister!"

"This bitch has such a bad temper, Dalang, you have to discipline her in the future..."

“…”

Behind Li Yun'er, she heard the Li family members talking in a cacophony of voices. The voices were harsh and sharp, making her feel even more disgusted.

She ran forward desperately, just wanting to get away from the Li family and those people who made her feel unbearable.

She ran for a long, long time, crossing the streets, until she was out of breath and sweating profusely. She really couldn't run anymore, so she stopped.

“Hoo—, hoo—”

She gasped for breath and found herself running down Broad Street without realizing it.

The streets are bustling with people and traffic.

Only Li Yunmeng stood still.

Meeting the smiling gaze of an old woman coming towards him, Li Yunmeng couldn't help but shudder, his face burning, and he immediately lowered his head and looked away.

She felt like everyone was looking at her, and the tiny voices around her were talking about her, making her feel uneasy.

She wanted to escape, but she didn't know where she could go. The Gu family was no longer her home.

She didn't know what she had left.

In just one night, everything she had was taken away from her.

Instead, there are those unbearable and dirty things.

She doesn't want such a life experience, she doesn't want such a family, and she doesn't want the world to know all this.

But everyone already knows, from now on, how can she gain a foothold in the noble family in the capital? ! King Kang said that no one would laugh at her...

But now she has become a joke.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, there was a sound of clapping on the table in the teahouse next door. Li Yun'er subconsciously turned his head and saw a group of scholars arguing in the lobby of the teahouse. Words like "King Kang" and "Gu Ce" floated over vaguely.

There were two other scholars looking towards her...

Li Yun's heart trembled, and a thought came to her mind: Are they talking about her?! Her face became even hotter, her heart was beating like a drum, and she almost ran away and walked five or six feet forward.

She turned around and looked towards the lobby of the teahouse. The scholars were still talking and arguing...

Li Yun'er's pupils suddenly became dim and his hands were clenched tightly in his sleeves.

These scholars are the most bookish, with a very high opinion of themselves. They are always pointing fingers at other people when they have nothing to do. In fact, they are just bookworms.

The imperial examination system should be abolished!

The people should not be enlightened so that they will not question.

The fools only need to be obedient and submissive!

As these thoughts emerged in her mind, a bolt of thunder suddenly flashed in the sky and exploded heavily in her ears.

Boom! Li Yun'er's heart seemed to be whipped hard, and his pupils were as black as night.

The golden aura around her quickly dimmed, like a flower withering quickly.

The black air that was entangled in the golden air like spider silk was madly stirring, spreading, and expanding, greedily devouring the dazzling golden air on her body completely.

Only the inky black air remained, surging violently on her body surface like boiling water.

Li Yun'er stood there blankly, not moving for a very long time.

It was as if her soul had been pulled out.

rumble!

Another thunderclap sounded, and Li Yunmeng felt as if her soul was shaken and her heart skipped a beat.

She subconsciously looked up at the cloudless blue sky above.

Far away in the sky, from the clouds beyond the nine heavens, a sigh of compassion seemed to be heard faintly.

It went straight into the depths of Li Yun'er's soul.

Li Yunmeng, who had been standing still for a long time, moved. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Prince Kang's Palace. There was a glimmer of light in his dark eyes again, and the black aura ignited wisps of golden energy, like embers rekindled.

Passers-by on the street stopped and looked up at the sky. The sun was setting in the west, and the clear green sky looked like a vast clear ocean. It was clearly a sunny day with bright sunshine, and it didn't look like it was going to rain at all.

The sound of muffled thunder continued one after another, incessantly, exploding the sky of the entire capital city.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Juanbi stuck half of his head out of the window and looked around, muttering, "Is it going to rain? It's been sunny for a day or two, why is it raining again?"

"I have to quickly take back the cat bed that was left outside to dry."

Juanbi turned around and rushed out of the house, worried that a heavy rain would suddenly wet the cat's bed.

"No, it won't rain." Gu Yanfei put down the half-carved jade ring in his hand, looked up, and smiled confidently.

The jade ring is engraved with a pattern of a cat playing with bamboo leaves. The outlines are only roughly outlined with a carving knife, but it has accurately captured the essence of the cat.

Juanbi stopped when he heard that, then came back in a hurry.

My girl said it won’t rain, so it definitely won’t rain.

only……

"Why is there thunder in broad daylight?" Juanbi said casually while refilling Gu Yanfei's tea. "The sky is really weird. There is thunder but no rain. It can't be to scare people, right?"

When Juanbi put down the teapot, she looked at the half-finished jade ring with curiosity. Even if she didn't ask, she knew that this jade ring was definitely not the one Gu Yanfei carved for her, and it was obviously not the size of a girl.

“Puff.”

Gu Yanfei was amused by Juanbi's words, and his smile was faint.

She played with the small carving knife in one hand and supported her chin with the other hand, looking at the blue sky outside the window, her eyebrows slightly curved, as if she saw something interesting.

Seeing that Gu Yanfei was watching with great interest, Juanbi could not help but stick her head out of the window again.

Outside, the sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly. There was no trace of haze or any strange phenomena, and even the thunder had stopped.

Unable to figure out what to do, Juanbi simply went out with the empty teapot.

Gu Yanfei sat motionless behind his desk, not saying a word. His clear and sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the clouds, into the sky, and into the chaos.

She knew that this was Heaven's way of reselecting the son of destiny.

Heaven is about to give up on Li Yunmeng.

The carving knife in her hand turned flexibly between her fingers, and the small blade flashed a dazzling edge in the sunlight.

Master told her that the laws of nature in every small world are biased, but at the same time they are fair.

Every small world will have a son of luck in every era, and Heaven will give great preferential treatment, because the son of luck will lead the small world to a more glorious state.

In this small world, Emperor Taizu Chu Jing should be the previous son of destiny.

It is because of him that we have the current Dajing Dynasty, that the people of Dajing can live and work in peace and prosperity, and that the two countries of Jing and Yue can check and balance each other for fifty years.

This is Heaven's hope for the Son of Destiny.

Heaven’s great favor is a blessing, but also a heavy responsibility.

If Heaven is disappointed with the Son of Fortune and feels that He has chosen the wrong Son of Fortune, He will not go down this path to the end but will choose another candidate.

As for the children of destiny abandoned by heaven and earth, they will have to repay in the future whatever favors they have received from heaven.

Gu Yanfei withdrew his gaze, with a lazy smile on his lips, and picked up the jade ring casually, gently wiping away the debris on it with his fingertips.

She had picked this piece of jade for a long time. It should look great on his pretty hand! "Meow meow meow."

"Rustle, rustle, rustle..."

The crowns of several large trees outside the window suddenly swayed rapidly, and the leaves fluttered down with a rustling sound. A long-haired calico cat with shiny fur jumped out from the tree crowns, landed gracefully on the windowsill, then kicked off its hind legs and jumped into Gu Yanfei's arms like a young swallow returning to its nest.

"Meow~"

Qingguang rubbed, licked, and called out to Gu Yanfei in a childish voice, showing great affection.

Gu Yanfei weighed the cat. The cat's belly felt very nice to touch, soft, fluffy and smooth.

"Fat!" Gu Yanfei said confidently, grabbing the cat's soft belly with one hand, and was sure that the cat had gained weight again.

It also wore an exquisite gold collar around its neck, inlaid with finger-sized cat's eyes, as green as its green eyes.

There were also three red gold bells inlaid with rubies hanging on the golden collar.

The round cat face shook, the white beard trembled, and three exquisite red-gold bells swayed back and forth, but no sound was made.

It seems that beautiful and cute cats are treated like precious treasures and live a life like a fairy.

"Meow meow meow!" The cat kept calling coquettishly, announcing: it is not fat, it is grown up! It is still a kitten!

Gu Yanfei smiled and stroked the soft and smooth fur of his cat, and asked casually: "Where is Xia Houqing?"

To be honest, she almost forgot that the cat was still with Xiahou Qing, and looking at Qingguang's appearance, it seemed that she was also having a great time with Xiahou Qing.

When Xiahou Qing was mentioned, the cat became excited, squatted on her lap, and meowed loudly with its eyes shining. Looking at its excited look, it seemed to be complaining, but also to be showing off.

Gu Yanfei didn't understand at all.

If you don’t understand, then you don’t understand. Gu Yanfei felt that he was never the kind of person who would ask questions. He carried the cat out and planned to comb its hair.

Its long fur is too messy.

As soon as she walked out to the main room, she heard a surprised cry: "Qingguang!"

Juanbi came back with the teapot that she had just filled with water in the tea room. She saw the calico cat in Gu Yanfei's arms at a glance and her eyes lit up with surprise.

Juanbi put the teapot on the coffee table next to her and looked at the cat that Gu Yanfei casually held in his arms like a long strip with a distressed look on her face. "Girl, don't hold Qingguang like this. It will feel uncomfortable."

She quickly took Qingguang over and demonstrated a "gentle" way of holding her, as if she was holding a priceless treasure.

Qingguang meowed with satisfaction, quite satisfied with her service. She also gave Gu Yanfei a look, meaning that he should learn well.

The other maids around also saw the cat, and they gathered around and stared at it infatuatedly.

"Qingguang, you are finally back!"

"I missed you so much, I almost thought you were lost."

"I'm glad you're back. Poor little Qingguang, he's lost a lot of weight."

"Yes, yes, your hair is all tangled. Let me comb it for you."

“…”

The maids went crazy when they saw the cat. They all stared at the cat and asked about its well-being. Some went to get the cat's comb and mat, some went to get the recently baked dried fish, and some ran to the kitchen to get goat milk...

After a while, Gu Yanfei was pushed to the periphery of the crowd and had no chance to "serve" the cat.

Otherwise, should she go back and continue carving her jade ring? Just as this thought came to her mind, she saw a servant in blue clothes running towards her in a hurry outside the hall.

"Second Miss, the clan leader is here." The old woman took a breath and reported with a smile on her face.
