Chapter 55 Hot-Tempered!

When Lu Qiji rode back to Lu Mansion, an eight-year-old kid ran over. He took the rope of Lu Qiji’s horse and raised his fat face. “Sister, finally, you are back,” he said in a low voice.

“Lu Tianyu, why are you sneaking around?”

Lu Tianyu looked around and lowered his voice as he said, “Sister, Father and Mother had a quarrel.”

“Hmm? Do you know why?” Lu Qiji asked.

Her father was tolerant, her mother was virtuous, so her parents were very close to each other. They seldom fought with each other. She was very curious about the situation.

“I heard that Mother wanted to pick up someone and let him live in our house, but Father didn’t agree. Sister, who is that? It is just one person, why didn’t Father agree? Oh, Father also said that it was Grandpa who didn’t agree. How did Grandpa know about this? Wasn’t he concentrating on being the prime minister? How could he have the mood to take on these small issues?”

Lu Qiji’s black pupils turned purple. Her purple hair was even more glamorous, just like a beautiful flower fairy coming from heaven.

“Lu Tianyu, shut up,” Lu Qiji said in a cold voice, “Don’t ever say that again.”

“Sister, Sister, what’s wrong with you?” Lu Tianyu was extremely nervous. He felt a chill on his spine, and his calves began to tremble. “Why are you angry? I didn’t say that. It was Father and Mother.”

“No matter who said it, don’t say it again, and don’t let others know…” Purple light flashed in Lu Qiji’s eyes and quickly disappeared, and her voice became much softer. She said in a low voice, “If I hear that from you again, I will use my whip to beat you.”

There wasn’t much that Lu Tianyu was afraid of. He was only afraid of his cool and beautiful sister.

He saw Lu Qiji’s expression. She was serious.

He then looked at the whip in Lu Qiji’s hand, which was cold.

Then, he nodded repeatedly and said, “Sister, I won’t talk nonsense anymore… Sister, you must be tired after practicing all day in the sword house, right? I’ll help you lead the horse. Go back to your room and take a rest.”

Lu Qiji also threw the whip to his younger brother Lu Tianyu. She got off the horse and walked toward the courtyard where she lived.

Seeing Lu Qiji walking away, the little fatty Lu Tianyu held the horsewhip and whipped the black horse’s buttock. He scolded, “Your master bullied me, and I’m going to bully you.”

The black horse was brave. After his butt was hurt, his hind legs naturally reacted in self-defense.

Bang!

Lu Tianyu was kicked by the horse’s leg and fell to the ground in surprise.

Hearing the noise, Lu Qiji turned around and asked, “What happened?”

Lu Tianyu laid prone on the ground and squeezed out a smile with difficulty on his chubby face. He said, “Sister, do you think I’m like a frog?”

As he spoke, he also imitated the sound of a frog. “Croak… Croak…”

“Idiot.” Lu Qiji turned around and left.

After returning to her own small courtyard and closing the door, Lu Qiji’s black pupils turned dark purple once again.

She looked like a strange monster with her purple hair and purple eyes.

With a wave of her hand, a hill-like stone flew toward her.

Her right hand spread out to hold the small stone hill. With purple light shining around in her palm, the stone was incinerated into a pile of dust and vanished.

“Li Muyang…” Lu Qiji said the name in a cold voice. “Welcome to Capital Heaven.”

Knock, knock, knock…

There was a knock at the door.

“Miss, Madam asked you to come over,” a maid’s voice came from the door.

The purple in Lu Qiji’s pupils disappeared instantly, and then her eyes turned black like normal people.

“Ok, I know,” Lu Qiji said softly, “Tell my mother that I’ll be there in a minute.”

“Ok, Miss,” the maid said from outside the door.

…

When Li Muyang opened the door of the courtyard, his sister Li Sinian was already waiting for him there.

“Brother, how is the investigation going?” Li Sinian asked with a smile.

“Investigation?” Li Muyang asked, pretending to be confused.

“Hmph, don’t pretend anymore.” Li Sinian said in disdain while making eyes at him, “I’ve told you that before you raised your butt, I already knew you were going to shit.”

“Li Sinian.” Li Muyang’s face turned red. It was humiliating for his sister to talk about his embarrassment all the time. He had now grown into a handsome, tan teenager—at least Li Muyang thought so himself.

They were all grown-ups. It was insulting to always mention the pooping thing.

“Oh, you blushed. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen you blushing.” Li Sinian stared at Li Muyang’s face and said with a smile, “It’s strange. Why is this the first time? Oh, I understand. You blushed before, but your skin was too dark at that time. I couldn’t tell if you blushed. Now I can see… It proves that you have become whiter. Oh, I think it’s true.”

“Li Sinian…” Li Muyang was not angry with his precious sister at all. He was always tightly restrained by her.

“Well, let’s talk about something serious.” Li Sinian stopped teasing her brother and asked, “Tell me, why you sent cakes to Aunt Zhao? What are you trying to do?”

“I was grateful for her kindness last time, so I wanted to thank her. It was just a courtesy to send a box of cakes to her,” Li Muyang answered with a smile.

“Li Muyang, look at my eyes.” Li Sinian pulled Li Muyang’s head, forcing his eyes to look into her eyes. “Do you think I’m stupid?”

“No, you’re not.” Li Muyang shook his head. Who would dare to say that Li Sinian was stupid? That would be the real fool.

“But why is there an idiot in my eyes?” Li Sinian asked.

“The idiot…” Li Muyang smiled bitterly and said, “A child doesn’t need to know much. You only need to study hard and get up every day. We have made an agreement, right? I’ll go to Xifeng University to do some research for you first, and then you’ll come in next year. With your talent, isn’t it a piece of cake?”

“You think I am a child. How much older are you than me? Are you going to tell me or not? If you don’t tell me, I will ask Aunt Zhao myself. Whatever you did, I can do it too.”

Li Muyang sighed and said, “I feel that someone is against us.”

“Against us?” Li Sinian was shocked and asked, “Are they with that killer?”

“Not sure yet.” Li Muyang answered in a low voice, “But, I’m sure that they don’t have good intentions.”

“Brother, what should we do?”

“I will find a way.” Li Muyang fondly looked at his sister Li Sinian and said, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

In any case, he had to protect his family from any harm.

He was willing to pay any price for this.

“Li Muyang, I know that you’re at home! Open the door for me! Hurry up…” Someone shouted at the door.

Li Sinian was angry as soon as she heard this voice. “That idiot young master is here again,” she said.

Li Muyang laughed and joked, “He’s come here for you.”

“I think he has come here for you. Muyang and Xiangma, a white sheep and a black horse. Two animals that can make a family just well enough. If someone can say that you two are not a couple, I’ll fall out with them on the spot.”

“…”

“Li Muyang, open the door. I have something important to discuss with you,” the voice of Yan Xiangma came again.

“He helped us. He is at the very least our savior.” Li Muyang sighed and walked over to open the door of the yard. “Master Yan,” he said with a smile.

“Don’t, don’t call me that. Call me Cousin. It sounds cordial. I’m not a cold young master who likes put on airs. Although I am from a noble family, I’m amicable and easy to approach.”

When Yan Xiangma saw Li Sinian staring at him coldly, he smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line.

Waving his fan, he walked into the yard in a cool manner. “Sister Sinian is also at home. Sinian, Sinian, this name is so sweet that my heart has almost sunk into it,” he said.

“Who is your sister?” Li Sinian looked at Yan Xiangma cautiously and said, “Cui Xiaoxin is your sister.”

“Yes, Xiaoxin is my younger sister. You are also my younger sister. Your older brother calls me Cousin. If you are not my younger sister, what are you?” Yan Xiangma poked Li Muyang’s arm with his arm and said, “Is that right, Cousin Muyang?”

Li Muyang had a feeling of beating his face with his own hands. Yan Xiangma was obviously the honorable young master of the City Lord Mansion, but why did he always feel ashamed when he was with him?

“At that time, I was in a trance,” Li Muyang said helplessly.

“I think you were obsessed with women.” Yan Xiangma glanced at Li Muyang with a hint and said, “There is something I don’t know whether to tell you or not.”

“What’s the matter?” Li Muyang asked.

“Xiaoxin is waiting for you by Sunset Lake,” Yan Xiangma answered.

“Really?” Li Muyang was overjoyed.

“Absolutely,” Yan Xiangma smiled and said, “How can I lie to you about such a thing? If you go there, you will see her.”

Li Muyang turned around and was about to rush out. After several steps, he came back and said, “No, I’m afraid that you’ll cheat me. You come with me.”

“Li Muyang.” Yan Xiangma was really irritated by this fool. He grabbed his arm and pulled him to the corner of the wall. He lowered his voice and said, “I have already sent my sister to you. Can’t you let me talk to your sister? Do you still have a conscience? Was your conscience eaten by a dog?”

Li Muyang thought it was reasonable. Yan Xiangma even gave his sister to him. Of course, he should leave some space for him and his sister.

However, if he did so, he would be in a bad mood.

So, he looked at Yan Xiangma and said, “I’d rather let a dog eat my conscience. I can’t leave my sister to stay with you alone.”

Li Muyang took Yan Xiangma’s arm and said, “Let’s go. You’ll be with me.”

“Brother…” Li Sinian shouted, “Sister Xiaoxin is waiting for you at Sunset Lake. Go there quickly. As for this idiot…Young Master, let him stay with me.”

“Sinian!—” Li Muyang was still a little worried.

“Don’t worry. He can’t eat me.” Li Sinian blinked her eyes, smiled innocently, and said, “I’m going to have a good talk with him.”

Li Muyang nodded and said, “All right. I’ll be back soon.”

“My silly brother…” Li Sinian was so angry that she stamped her feet and said, “The girl is not in a hurry. For such a thing, why are you, a boy, in a hurry to come back? Don’t talk too much. Go, now.”

Li Muyang nodded and strode towards the direction of Sunset Lake.

After Li Muyang ran away, Yan Xiangma tidied up his clothes and gave a salute to Li Sinian. “Sinian, my younger sister, Xiangma…” he said.

“Don’t be so affected. Come out with me,” Li Sinian said as she strode toward the street outside the yard.

“Hey, this little girl…” Yan Xiangma felt that he had been insulted again and again. “Why is such a hot-tempered girl so attractive?”
