Chapter 60 Exposed
Chapter 60 Exposed
Outside the bell tower, Hall Master Xu and a middle-aged man in gray were waiting.
It’s still the housekeeper Xu from the Li family.
This time, Master Xu brought him up directly.
With the example from last time, there is no need to report it again.
As the deputy head of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, although he did not know the situation of the Li family, he was very well versed in the ways of the world.
Suddenly, he saw a figure walking towards him, and his originally upright body immediately became slightly bent.
He quickly greeted him politely.
"Senior Brother Li."
Li Qian nodded.
Master Xu tactfully walked aside and winked at Liu Ming who was following behind Li Qian.
Liu Ming was stunned at first, but he was not stupid. He understood what was going on and quickly followed, and walked to the side with Master Xu.
"Master."
Butler Xu hurried forward and knelt down to pay his respects.
Li Qian waved his hand lightly, and the invisible Qi lifted him up, "Come in with me."
As he said that, Li Qian entered the bell tower.
Butler Xu followed quickly, feeling relieved.
The fact that the young master allowed him into the house this time showed that his resentment towards the old master had subsided a lot.
Inside the bell tower.
"How is he now?"
Li Qian sat down.
Butler Xu stood there, knowing who the young master was asking about, and bowed slightly and said, "Young master, the old master is in good health. He went to pay respects at the madam's grave some time ago. He missed you very much."
His words may seem ordinary, but they contain profound meaning.
How could Li Qian not know this?
In the memories of his previous life, besides hatred for his father and disgust for his stepmother, he also missed his mother.
Since my mother passed away when I was only about five or six years old, my memories of her are all very warm. Moreover, my father was very kind to me at that time.
Since my mother passed away, I have a stepmother. My impression of my father is that he is strict and always has a serious face and preaches.
"Perhaps, we can find some time to go back and pay our respects."
Li Qian thought to himself.
He also figured it out. Since he was reborn in this body, he inherited the cause and effect of his previous life. There was no need to get rid of it completely. He just had to treat it with a normal mind.
He stood up, took the wooden box that Butler Xu had just handed over, walked to the table beside him, and wrote a small note. He first took out a stack of gold bills from the small wooden box, put the note in, and then put two small medicine bottles in it, closed the lids, and handed it to Butler Xu.
"Butler Xu, take this back."
Li Qian said.
Those two small medicine bottles contain Qi and Blood Pills and Soul-Nourishing Pills.
Although ordinary people cannot take it directly, there is no problem if they scrape off some powder and soak it in water to drink.
Qi and blood pills replenish qi and blood and strengthen the body.
Yunshen Dan nourishes the spirit and regulates thoughts.
Such elixirs may seem ordinary in the Divine Sword Sect, but in fact they are not ordinary at all. If they are placed outside, they are extremely precious and worth a fortune.
After all, these elixirs are refined by major martial arts sects like the Divine Sword Sect and are specially supplied to martial artists for their practice. Even for innate martial artists, these two types of elixirs are standard equipment.
There are more advanced elixirs.
But it’s not that practical.
Moreover, the yield is low and is not suitable for regular practice.
"Yes, Master."
Butler Xu took the small wooden box and carefully put it into the package he was carrying.
"Remember, don't give it to that woman."
Li Qian suddenly reminded.
Butler Xu was startled and said respectfully, "Master, please rest assured. I will remember this."
After Butler Xu followed Master Xu down the mountain, Li Qian took a book, sat on the bell tower, and began to read in the warm sunshine.
Liu Ming was practicing sword jabs below.
Li Qian only took a glance and could see that there were many problems in his boxing skills.
But Li Qian had no intention of giving any advice.
When it was noon, Li Qian put down his book, held the ram, and rammed it five times.
The clear sound of the bell broke the midday silence.
Li Qian picked up Sword Eighteen and started practicing next to Chen Zhong.
Liu Ming below stopped and just watched Li Qian practicing sword.
Although he didn't quite understand it, he couldn't help but devote himself to it and concentrate, hoping to figure out something.
White jade city.
A carriage, escorted by three horse-riding servants, drove into the Li Mansion.
The dusty butler Xu didn't care about the fatigue from several days of travel. He immediately jumped off the carriage and walked towards the main hall.
Unexpectedly, a maid blocked the way.
When Butler Xu saw that it was the Madam's personal maid Chun Ming, he muttered to himself that the Madam was too well-informed. She knew it as soon as he returned?
"Miss Chunming, what's the matter?"
Butler Xu quickly greeted him with a smile.
Although he was the steward of the Li Mansion, she was the lady's personal maid, so he did not dare to offend her.
"Butler Xu, Madam wants you to come over."
Chun Ming said.
"Miss Chunming, I'll go see the master first, and then go to the madam as soon as possible, how about that?"
Butler Xu said quickly.
"Butler Xu, the master is not here today. He probably won't be back until the evening. Please go see the lady first."
Chun Ming said with a smile.
"alright."
Butler Xu could only follow Chun Ming towards the backyard.
Just thinking about the small wooden box on my back, I felt a little conflicted. What should I do if the lady wants something from the young master?
Entered the backyard.
The lady sat in the pavilion, served by maids, eating fruits and admiring the buds and blooming peonies.
"lady."
Butler Xu hurried forward and saluted.
"Butler Xu, what did the young master say this time?"
The lady asked.
"Madam, this time the young master asked about the old master's health."
Butler Xu said.
"Nothing else?"
The lady asked.
"Ma'am, no more."
Butler Xu simply shook his head.
Although the master might tell the lady after giving the things to him, between the lady and the young master, he still chooses to listen to the young master.
The young master is an inner disciple of the Divine Sword Sect and will definitely be the head of the Li family in the future.
No matter how powerful the madam is, can she be as powerful as the young master?
In the evening.
Li Donglin, the owner of the Li Mansion, is back.
As soon as he knew that the butler had returned, he called Butler Xu to his study.
"Master, this is given to you by the young master."
Butler Xu carefully handed a wooden box to Li Donglin.
When Li Donglin heard that his eldest son had actually sent something back to him, he was excited and very relieved.
In recent years, he has been reflecting on himself, wondering if he is too harsh on his eldest son.
"Did Qian'er say anything else?"
Li Donglin asked.
"The young master also said that the things in this wooden box cannot be given to the lady."
Butler Xu hesitated for a moment, but finally said it.
Li Donglin was stunned, and then fell silent.
Maybe the son forgave himself.
But I still feel resentment towards my stepmother.
