Chapter 507: How Can People Not Grow
Seeing that her Second Brother returned to his scatter-brained appearance, Liu Yusheng pursed her lips and smiled.
She hung the gourd pendant on his neck and said, “If you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, save yourself first and foremost. Don’t worry about me. I can escape. Don’t you know?”
When she first started to learn motion technique from Aunt Hong, she almost hit the wall when she flew out the first time.
Her Second Brother was watching from the side.
”Knowing is one thing, and ignoring you is another. How can I ignore you? I’m your brother.” He extended his arm and flicked the girl’s forehead.
Only in front of her family could she be so unscrupulous. She didn’t have to force herself to mature, and she didn’t have to ask herself to be more sensible.
She could do or say whatever he wanted.
Liu Yusheng touched her slightly painful forehead, and glanced at the next room. “Li Junyue is next door, have you seen her?”
Liu Zhiqiu paused for a second. “No. How can I do that when I can’t get up? How is she?”
”She’s awake, but her physical health is in tatters. She needs to recuperate slowly.” Liu Yusheng thought for a while and said, “Her body and bones are probably equivalent to that of an old woman in her 70s or 80s, and she can’t withstand the slightest torment. Even a minor illness and pain can cost her half of her life.”
”Then let her drink more nourishing tea and nourishing wine,” Liu Zhiqiu dropped his gaze and smiled. “Look at our grandparents, after drinking the nourishing tea for all these years, their white hair turned black. The effect is impressive. “
”Alright. Anyway, she has to stay in our family compound in the future, so let grandpa and grandma watch over her more. She can take her time recovering.”
”…”
”Why are you looking at me? You bought her. Did you only care about buying and not raising her?” Liu Yusheng gave her Second Brother a blank stare, twisted her petite frame, and went away.
After the door was closed, Liu Zhiqiu’s expression remained unfathomable. He turned his head to look in the direction of the next door, the look in his eyes complicated.
Separated by a wall, the woman’s line of sight was also toward his side. The shade of her eyes was equally complicated and difficult to distinguish.
Finally, she closed her eyes gently.
Three days later, Li Junyue was able to get out of bed.
On the fifth day, Liu Zhiqiu was also alive and kicking.
Liu Yusheng followed Feng Qingbai and decided to return to the capital in two days.
There was not much time left from the concubine’s ceremony, and they needed to rush back to the capital as soon as possible.
Since they were ready to leave, Liu Zhiqiu wasn’t about to stay longer either. Anyway, if he could walk and dance, he’d better go home after recuperation, and be served by his mother.
Night fell. When the girl in his arms was asleep, Feng Qingbai kissed her on the forehead, got out of bed carefully, and walked out the door.
Wei Zi had been waiting outside for a long time.
”What is it?”
”A secret letter from the capital. Everything is ready, just waiting for Master’s return.”
”Hmm.” Feng Qingbai looked up and glanced in the direction of the capital, his eyes gleaming coldly.
”Also…”
Feng Qingbai inclined head. Wei Zi always acted neatly, and it was rare for him to falter like this.
”Miss Li from the guest room just left. Do you want us to fetch her back?” Wei Zi lowered his head and still asked the question.
He only needed to report, but today, he used a question.
”No.” After speaking, Feng Qingbai turned around and went back to the room.
Wei Zi stood there for a while before leaving.
Asking like that just now was overstepping his bounds.
Liu Zhiqiu and Liu Yusheng only learned the news of Li Junyue’s departure the next day.
At that time, Liu Zhiqiu fell silent for a long time, and then smiled away again like nothing happened.
”Second brother.” Seeing him smiling like that, Liu Yusheng was a little worried.
She didn’t expect Li Junyue to leave.
Dragging away an ailing body.
Earlier, she had told Li Junyue that she would stay in the Liu family compound, and the Liu family would not abandon her.
She thought that Li Junyue would stay here.
”Isn’t that just right?” Liu Zhiqiu laughed. “She has done so many things just to be able to leave the Li family, but now she has no worries. She’s now free. I’m the miserable one. I’ve got a huge debt of 50,000 taels, and I’m wondering how long it will take for me to pay it off.”
Liu Yusheng suddenly walked forward and hugged him. “Second Drother, you used to laugh when you were happy, and curse when you were unhappy.”
But now he has learned to force a smile.
She would rather he had been simple-minded.
Liu Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment. He rubbed the head of the little girl in his arms and said, “I have to grow up too. How can I always be the same as when I was a child?”
How could people not grow?
Regardless of age, as long as people weren’t dead, they would continue to grow.
Not just the body, but also the mind.
As for Li Junyue, he wished her well.
At noon that day, Liu Zhiqiu drove back to Xinghua Village and refused the escort arranged by Feng Qingbai.
After all, he was also in his twenties, and he was not a three-year-old baby. He was just going home. Did he need someone else to escort him?
If others were to know, they’d die laughing.
Liu Yusheng watched Liu Zhiqiu’s carriage leave, turned around and threw herself into Feng Qingbai’s arms. “I feel uncomfortable. My heart is astringent.”
Feng Qingbai was amused. This was a plea for comfort.
”Shengsheng, Liu Zhiqiu has been weaned. Do you still think that he can’t handle a blow?”
”He’s my brother even if he’s weaned. He’s not happy, so naturally I’m not feeling well either.”
”You might as well feel sorry for me. Your brother has already swindled thousands of taels of money from me.”
”…”
”If he stays a little longer, I really will be depending on you.”
”Pfft!”
Liu Zhiqiu, who was running wildly after leaving the courtyard, sneezed. “Damn, someone is scolding me!”
Immediately, he touched a stack of banknotes in his arms and grinned.
Feng Qingbai was truly his big sponsor.
Apart from selling intel about Nannan, he could gouge out money from him by acting miserable.
He’ll acknowledge him!
At the end of the day, Feng Qingbai and Liu Yusheng also left the courtyard and set foot on the road back to the capital.
Regarding what happened in Xuzhou, they did not spread the news to the capital, nor did they plan to tell the elders.
The matter has passed, and there was no need to worry them any further.
Ten days later they arrived in the capital. The moment Liu Yusheng entered the door, she met Xue Qinglian’s stepmother-like face.
”Lucky Nannan, you didn’t even inform me about such a good case, I’ll note this down!”
Liu Yusheng felt guilty, and when Xue Qinglian reached out to ask for the potion, she immediately offered it, not daring to be hypocritical at all.
If she refused to give any, Xue Qinglian would probably squat at her bedside in the middle of the night and stare at her.
”Nannan, how did it go?” After Xue Qinglian was resolved, she had to deal with the elders of the family.
”It’s all right, Li Junyue is awake.” She briefly told the family about Li Junyue, but Liu Yusheng didn’t mention anything about the assassination.
”Then you guys returned to the capital, while Zhiqiu and Li Junyue also went back to Xinghua Village?”
Liu Yusheng faltered. “Second Brother has gone back. Li Junyue… has left.”
”What do you mean by left?” Grandma Liu’s eyes widened.
”Her health has improved a little, and she left without saying goodbye. Second Brother and I only found out the next day,” Liu Yusheng said.
Grandma Liu and the others looked at each other in dismay and also a mixture of other feelings. “She has been reborn from the dead, and her body and bones are not very good, right? She will definitely not go back if she has cut ties with the Li family. She left without saying goodbye. Where can such a young lady go?”
If she was suffering from a common disease, she’d be cured with treatment. But Li Junyue’s situation was different.
She really died that time.
Aiyo, the second grandson in the family has committed a sin.
The girl must have been hurt, so she quietly left!
