Chapter 197 Why is it so easy for Senior Brother 5 to get it?
Xu brought Li Mulan to the gate of a quiet courtyard. The courtyard of the richest man's house was carefully decorated and was particularly pleasing to the eye.
"Moved here? This yard is quite unique."
Xu's eyes were gentle, "The sixth son likes elegant and exquisite things the most. Even the house he lives in is in his style."
Li Mulan clicked her tongue and shook her head. "All this was made with money. Look at these mountains and water. Even the koi in the water are top-quality. Fifth Senior Brother used to say that I was wasting money. Humph, he didn't even look at Sixth Senior Brother."
Xu poked her forehead with her finger, "Did Lao Liu mistreat you?"
Li Mulan was like a tumbler, shaken twice by Xu's poking. She rubbed her forehead and laughed, "That's not the case, hehehe."
"That's it. This is the only hobby that Lao Liu has. Do you still need me to criticize you?"
Li Mulan's eyes widened. "Sixth Senior Brother's hobby is very expensive. Have you seen the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone he uses? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, even the inkstone, I dare not tell you the price, for fear of shocking you. He likes to play chess so much, each set of chess is very valuable, and the chess pieces are all made of fine jade. And his clothes, the material of the clothes must be top-notch, otherwise they are uncomfortable to wear. Tell me, is there anyone in the world more valuable than him?"
Xu laughed, "With our family situation like this, I guess it can't be changed."
Li Mulan shook her head helplessly, "This is what makes me jealous the most, they don't have to work hard to have so much money to spend, unlike me, wuwuwuwuwuwuwu, my life is so miserable."
"Not enough money? My sister-in-law still has some. Come with me to get it later."
Seeing that Xu was serious, Li Mulan stopped pretending and played with Xu's arm, "Oh, I'm just teasing you. When have I ever been short of money?"
"You are such a living treasure."
When they arrived at a house, Li Mulan saw a little girl who looked like a maid sitting at the door with her chin in her hand, seeming to be very distressed.
Xu had been here just now and knew this girl. "Xiaoyanzi, why are you sitting at the door?"
When Xiaoyanzi saw the person coming, she immediately stood up and saluted awkwardly, "Madam." Then she looked at Li Mulan and Qingyu eagerly, not knowing what to address them.
Xu introduced them to him enthusiastically, "This is Miss Nine, and this is Miss Qingyu."
Xiaoyanzi called out obediently, "Miss Nine, Miss Whispering."
"This girl is the one that Lao Wu just bought. She is responsible for taking care of Xiaoyue. Oh, she is your fifth sister-in-law. Your fifth sister-in-law's name is Gu Yue, you know it, right?"
Li Mulan raised the corners of her lips. How could she, who had been in the martial arts world for so many years, not know about Gu Yue, the Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult?
"I know. Fifth Senior Brother told me about it before."
Xu nodded and looked at Xiaoyanzi again, "Why are you sitting at the door sighing? Why don't you go in and take care of your daughter?"
Xiaoyanzi felt aggrieved, "The girl said she was not used to being taken care of, and asked me to go play by myself, but I..." I was bought by the master to take care of the girl. If the girl doesn't need her to take care of her, will the master no longer want her and sell her to someone else?
Seeing Xiaoyanzi with a worried look on her face, Li Mulan comforted her, "If Fifth Sister-in-law asked you to go out and play, just find something to do. We will not abandon you. But don't go too far. Be smart. If Fifth Sister-in-law needs you, you must go in as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
Xiaoyanzi's eyes lit up, and she felt relieved knowing that she would not be sold. "Then I will sit here, so that I can hear the girl calling me."
Seeing her silly look, Li Mulan didn't try to dissuade her and just told her to sit here.
The three of them walked to the door and knocked. "Xiao Yue, I'm your sister-in-law. I brought Xiao Jiu to see you. Is it convenient for you to come in?"
A cold voice without any emotion rang out, "Come in."
Li Mulan was full of curiosity about the Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult. She followed Xu into the house, where there was a medicine box.
What kind of beauty is she? Her beauty is not just about appearance, but a kind of otherworldly beauty. Her black hair is like a waterfall, her skin is like cream, her eyebrows and eyes are like a painting, like the autumn sky, which adds a cool temperament to her. The faint sadness between her eyebrows will make anyone who sees her feel pity.
"Hello, Fifth Sister-in-law. I am Li Mulan. Situ Tianming is my fifth senior brother. I am the ninth child. You can just call me Little Nine from now on."
Gu Yue felt a little shy when she called her "Fifth Sister-in-law". Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she looked more energetic and not as fragile as before.
She did not refute Li Mulan's call of "fifth sister-in-law", "I heard him mention you a long time ago."
Li Mulan sat down beside the bed naturally. "I guess he didn't say anything good about me. Fifth Senior Brother has a very vicious tongue."
Gu Yue's eyes softened a little, "No, he said you are fine."
"Is it true? That's strange, hehe."
Qingyu saw that Gu Yue didn't seem to be very comfortable, so she considerately placed a soft pillow behind her and said, "I'm Qingyu, responsible for taking care of Xiaojiu."
Gu Yue nodded at her with gratitude in his eyes.
"How is Fifth Sister-in-law recovering? Is she still feeling uncomfortable? Has the wound been dressed?"
"It's much better now. The pain from the wound is still bearable. It's fine."
"Do you need to change the medicine? Fifth Brother is clumsy, and I don't know if it will work. I was a bit busy the past two days and didn't have time to come. Sorry."
Knowing that the injury on his shoulder was sutured and bandaged by Li Mulan, he was not surprised by her words, "It's okay. There is a female doctor in the mansion who comes to change the bandage for me every day."
Li Mulan was relieved. "That's good. I was really worried that Fifth Senior Brother might hurt you again because of his rough hands and feet."
Gu Yue's lips curled up slightly, and her eyebrows and eyes seemed a little gentler, "He is very good, and he is also very good to me."
Looking at Gu Yue's expression, Li Mulan felt a pain in her teeth. What kind of luck must this fifth senior brother have? Tsk tsk tsk tsk.
Mrs. Xu was also happy to see this. "Are you getting used to it here? If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me, okay? Lao Wu and the others are all men, so it's inevitable that they may not be considerate enough in taking care of you. If you feel embarrassed, tell me or Xiao Jiu. We are all family, don't be so formal."
Looking at the elder sister-in-law, Gu Yue's attitude softened unconsciously, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Li Mulan looked at the deserted place and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
Mrs. Xu was amused and asked, "Why are you shaking your head and sighing?"
Li Mulan looked at Gu Yue with a look of pity, "How could Fifth Sister-in-law, such a beauty, be given to Fifth Senior Brother? It's such a loss."
Xu was stunned, then looked at Gu Yue and found that she was just a little shy and had no other thoughts. She was relieved and patted Li Mulan on the forehead. "What are you talking about? Your fifth brother and your fifth sister-in-law are a match made in heaven, a perfect match."
Li Mulan curled her lips and said, "No, that's not the case. Fifth sister-in-law is such a classical beauty, but her fifth brother is so sharp-tongued and stingy. Apart from his good martial arts skills, there is nothing good about him."
