Li Miaoyi looked at this scene with a mocking arc on her lips.

This is Li Muqing, a self-interested person, just like her, like Li Jiangshi, like Li Qizhe. If he likes you or you are useful to him, he will carry you to the Tianshan Mountains. If you are useless, he will throw you off the cliff.

Li Miaoyin and Li Lin seemed to have seen nothing and just lowered their heads to eat.

Li Muqing kept looking for something to say, and Li Miaoyi felt bored after hearing this. She turned to look at Li Linshi and asked, "How is Jiongjiong doing these days?"

Li Lin quickly put down her chopsticks and said with a smile, "Jiongjiong is doing well these days, and the wind and cold are mostly gone. I will take him to Madam in a few days."

Hearing that Jiongjiong was fine, Mrs. Li Jiang smiled sincerely and said, "It's fine if nothing happens. Jiongjiong is still young after all and can't live without his mother, so you can raise him for a while."

Li Lin looked at Li Jiang with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Madam."

It is not that the eldest lady in Dongling raises a concubine, but usually the child is taken away as soon as he is born. If the child has too much contact with his mother and becomes bonded, he will not be able to raise him well in the future.

Li Muqing saw that Mrs. Li Jiang was in a good mood at the moment. After thinking about it for a while, she said, "Madam - we, a family of three, haven't visited my father-in-law for a few days. I happen to be free tomorrow, so why don't we go? Pay a visit?”

Li Jiangshi sneered and said, "What I said is not rigorous enough. You have indeed not visited your father in ten years."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Li Muqing's face and he said, "It's not that I am busy with government affairs and don't have time. What's more, my father-in-law was away from the capital a few years ago, which caused a lot of inconvenience."

Li Jiangshi looked at him steadily, her eyes full of disappointment, and said, "A few days ago, on my father's birthday, I called him, but he didn't go."

Li Muqing laughed twice and said, "The Hanlin Academy was undergoing renovations that day, and I really couldn't get away."

Li Jiangshi looked at him and didn't speak for a long time, which was funny. His colleagues in the Hanlin Academy all found time to celebrate their birthdays, but his son-in-law had no time.

At this moment, Li Miaoyi suddenly said, "Mom, since dad wants to go, let's go visit my grandfather tomorrow."

Li Jiangshi looked at her in confusion. Li Miaoyi did not explain, but just smiled at her. In the end, Li Jiangshi nodded for Li Miaoyi's sake.

Li Muqing laughed, and quickly turned around to pick up food for Li Miaoyi. After a while, the plates in front of her were piled into a small mountain, but Li Miaoyi didn't eat a bite of what he picked up.

After finishing the meal, Li Muqing was still following the two of them, with no intention of leaving. Li Jiang knew what his plan was at a glance and said, "Master, I'm not done yet. Tonight, you Why don't you go to Aunt Sun's courtyard to rest."

Hearing this, Li Muqing looked serious and said, "I won't go to Li Sun's place. Since you are not well, I will go back first." After that, he went to his yard.

After he left, Mrs. Li Jiang looked at Li Miaoyi and asked in confusion, "Why did you agree?"

Li Miaoyi chuckled lightly and said, "Don't you still know what your father is thinking? If you refuse today, he will always try his best to make you agree. In the end, he will go. Why not take his mind off him from the beginning? , save yourself the trouble."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li Jiang let out a long sigh.

……

Far away, Li Miaoyi saw Jiang Yunsong sitting on a wicker chair and basking in the sun. The sun shone on his gray temples. When he saw a few people, Jiang Yunsong stood up quickly and slowly walked towards them with a kind face.

"coming?"

Li Miaoyi smiled and blessed her body, "Grandpa." Jiang Yunsong stretched out his hand, and Li Miaoyi quickly stepped forward to support him.

Li Muqing had a humble smile on his face, cupped his hands and said, "Father-in-law——"

Jiang Yunsong, however, nodded calmly and said, "Since you're here, just sit down."

Several people sat down on a stone bench not far away. Jiang Yunsong waved to the butler beside him and said, "Tea."

After a while, the table was filled with tea and snacks. Jiang Yunsong pushed a plate of light red pastries in front of Li Jiangshi and Li Miaoyi and said, "Try it, it's made from the camellias in the yard."

Li Miaoyi picked up one, took a bite, and looked at Jiang Yunsong with a smile, "It's delicious!"

Jiang Yunsong smiled fondly, "If it's delicious, eat more." After saying that, he turned to look at Li Muqing and said, "What do you want to do here today?"

"Father, what you said is nothing wrong. I just miss you every year and want to come and see you."

Li Miaoyi glanced at Li Muqing and sighed in her heart at his shamelessness. It was obvious that yesterday he wanted to come so shamelessly, but today it was all blamed on Li Jiang. He, Li Muqing, was a good person.

Jiang Yunsong curled his lips and said nothing.

A few people just sat quietly, Li Miaoyi kept eating the pastries on the table, no one spoke, only her voice.

After a long time, Li Muqing finally couldn't sit still anymore and said with a flattering smile on his face, "My son-in-law does have something I want to ask of you."

Jiang Yunsong looked calm, as if everything was under his control. He turned to look at Li Jiangshi lovingly and said, "Go and make us a pot of tea."

He would push Li Jiang away many times in this situation before, just because he was afraid that she would be sad when she knew Li Muqing's true identity, and she would leave obediently. He just wanted to protect his only daughter.

Unexpectedly, this time Li Jiangshi sat firmly on the spot and said, "Dad, just say whatever you want. My daughter will not disturb you."

Jiang Yunsong was stunned for a while before nodding.

The corners of Li Muqing's lips curled up. He knew that Li Jiangshi was on his side. If he could say a few nice words to him later, he wouldn't worry about it being different.

"Father-in-law, you have resumed your official position now. My son-in-law wants to find a half-official position."

Jiang Yunsong chuckled lightly and said, "I told you many years ago that the matter of promotion has always been His Majesty's business and I have no way to get involved."

But Li Muqing didn't believe it and said, "My father-in-law said it wrong. Your Majesty trusts you so much that he can be reinstated after resigning. My son-in-law believes that it is just a matter of your words. If you mention it to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely not reject."

After a pause, he let out a long sigh and said, "My son-in-law was once the number one scholar, but unfortunately because he was a son from a poor family and had no background, he has stopped here after so many years. But my son-in-law is talented, and if he is an official, he will definitely He is a good official for the people, and he still asks his father-in-law to fulfill his wishes."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Yunsong with burning eyes.

Jiang Yunsong picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Like many times in the past, he shook his head.

This was like the last straw that broke Li Muqing's back. He stood up angrily and looked at Jiang Yunsong dissatisfied.
