Chapter Twenty: Brotherly Love

Chong Xuan Tu bore a large part of the responsibility for the death of his third brother in battle on Zhenxuan Mountain. Over these years he had neither made things difficult for Chong Xuan Sheng nor...“The Chinese pear tree remains, its leaves lush green and its flowers a vibrant crimson!”

"However, Xu Xiangqian sighed deeply and said: 'The end of spring is the beginning of dusk. It's truly a sorrowful thing.'"

Li Longchuan was in the midst of a spirited archery competition before this. As his mind escaped from the battle, he finally noticed what was happening outside the arena. Hearing Xu Xiangqian's actions, he mentally prepared himself.

When he turned his head, a radiant smile was already on his face: "Grandmother! What brings you here today to watch your grandson perform martial arts!"

This valiant young man, making a gesture of invitation towards Jiang Wang, happily approached Li Lao Tai's side.

The old woman's eyes held a smile, but she deliberately let out a cold snort: "I spend my days leisurely, it seems your grandson has some free time as well!"

“How could this be” Li Longchuan came over and very naturally took the old woman’s other hand, introducing Jiang Wang as he did: “Grandma, this is my son’s new friend!”

Jiang Wang performed a very respectful bow: "Junior Jiang Wang greets the elder madam."

“Good,” said Old Madam Li with a smile. “At first glance, you seem to be a promising child.”

"My younger brother is pining for spring in the depths of autumn, what a refined and elegant scholar he is!"

This voice was cold and distant, but for some reason, it made people want to get closer.

Jiang Wang followed the sound and saw a woman who looked like an ice jade carving.

Clear and bright, with defined brows and eyes, yet a chill emanates from her.

This quip mocking Xiangqian's rescue attempt is not very clever. First, it's autumn now, so talking about spring sorrow is a bit far-fetched. Second, the Li family has been a military family for generations, and where would Li Longchuan come from to have any scholarly air

Li Longchuan, as if he hadn't heard, only introduced to Jiang Wang: "This is my elder sister, Li Fengyao."

Jiang Wangyi politely said, "Hello, Miss Li."

Lee Fengyao then nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern."

“Alright.” Though the old woman occasionally scolded him, she couldn’t bear to have her young grandson reprimanded too harshly.

Throughout history, there's a saying "Imperial families favor their eldest sons, while commoners prefer their youngest sons."

A hand, crisscrossed with wrinkles, gently patted Li Longchuan's arm and said kindly, "You young people go have fun yourselves, there's no need to stay here and keep me company, old woman."

"Things aren't very exciting outside!" Li Longchuan, a usually valiant young man, appeared quite doting in front of Old Madam Li: "My grandson is always thinking about Grandmother while he's away. I wonder how you are doing. Would you like to take a walk with me around the courtyard"

“It’s great that Brother Li is keeping the old lady company, so we’ll go back first!” Xu Xiangqian saw an opportunity and inserted his words.

>

This kid is so heartless! So cold and cruel! I'm still trying to coax her, but you just leave her like that

Lee Lungchuan was furious, but on the surface he could only manage a smile and say: "Brother Xu, take your time on the road and please be careful of carriages."

Emphasis was placed on the word "careful".

"You're welcome!" Xu Xiangqian seemed not to understand anything, and he pulled Jiang Wang: "That old madam, Fengyao sister, we will leave first, and come visit another day!"

Li Longchuan still called out: “Then I’ll see you two friends off.”

Xu Xiangqian had ruthlessly pushed him back: "No need, no need. I'm not the first time coming! I know the way!"

After leaving the residence of Duke Cailing, Jiang Wang discovered that his anxiety, which had been caused by the situation with Chong Xuan's success, suddenly subsided.

Perhaps it was because Li Longchuan, the esteemed son of a prominent family known for its boundless worldly allure, exuded such comfort and ease when in the company of his grandmother. This naturally tranquil atmosphere inevitably soothed the hearts of those observing them.

Such is the joy of family harmony.

This is a feeling Jiang Wang hasn't experienced in a long time.

"What's up" Xu Xiangqian purposely swung in front of Jiang Wang, teasingly said: "Still thinking about Longchuan's sister"

Jiang Wang was still not used to this kind of joke: "Wh-how come."

Xu Xiangqian had grown accustomed to shamelessness. Without facing them directly, he shook his head and swayed, saying, "A graceful woman, a gentleman's desire!"

Jiang Wang wished she could cover his mouth: "What nonsense! We haven't gone far yet, are you afraid of being heard"

This is just a joke, but Jiang Wang's shy side unexpectedly aroused Xu Xiangqian's interest: "Are you afraid It's alright to have feelings for someone who's beautiful."

"Of course, certainly!"

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind: "Gao'er, why don't you tell me what's on your mind"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Li Fengyao's voice!

How could she be behind me! I don't know how many sentences she heard, or where she started listening from.

Jiang Wang and Xu Xiangqian were both sweating profusely, especially Xu Xiangqian. His arrogant attitude from just a moment ago was completely gone, and he looked wilted.

only weakly said: "Wh...what thoughts No..."

He cast a glance at Jiang Wang, his eyes filled with malice: "Do you have any"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

I've got your mother!

Jiang Wang almost couldn't hold back from cursing, but luckily his heart was relatively clear. He forced himself to ask naturally, "Why did Miss Li come out"

Seeing Xu Xiangqian so timid, Li Fengyao also let him off for now. He only said to Jiang Wang: "My grandmother said that when you first meet someone, you should give a gift to the younger generation."

They must have left in a hurry, the servant who was supposed to give out gifts hadn't arrived yet.

A prestigious family like this would certainly not bother waiting for guests to offer their greetings. To do so would only make the host appear too arrogant, and any gifts offered would be given as if they were mere handouts.

Xu Xiangqian and these familiar faces were fine, no need to be particular about those matters. As for Jiang Wang, this was his first visit. The Li family wouldn't be disrespectful, so that's why Li Fengyao caught up at this time.

Li Fengyao spoke, and he presented a jade box, carved with plants and trees, its green color dripping like emerald, vividly alive.

Need not see what is in the box, just seeing the exquisite craftsmanship of this jade box is enough to know that the gift is extraordinary.

Jiang Wang politely declined: "To visit uninvited, and with empty hands, is already a transgression. With such generous gifts bestowed upon me by your esteemed household, how could I possibly accept"

"I don't understand these polite formalities. The way you pushed me and I declined is quite awkward." Li Fengyao said, then looked at Xu Xiangqian: "This scholar, tell me about him"

Xu Xiangqian then said: "Elder's gift, I dare not refuse. This courtesy visit, I have already received it."

Jiang Wang refused to accept this Li Lao Tai's greeting gift. Most importantly, he was afraid that this gift was given in return for the favor of Chong Xuan Sheng gifting him a bow, worrying that it would dilute their relationship. No matter how valuable it was, Chong Xuan Sheng's gift would be given for free, and this trip would be a failure.

And Xu Xiangqian reminded him that this was just a normal courtesy of the Li family and did not mean to draw boundaries.

It's customary to reciprocate kindness, a true reflection of friendship.

"Miss Li, such a celestial being, should not be delayed any longer." Jiang Wang said: "In that case, I am deeply honored by your kindness."

and reached out with both hands to take the jade box.

Li Fengyao nodded, didn't say anything more, and turned to return home.

Although he had left Li Mansion for a long time, Xu Xiangqian still felt a lingering fear: "It was close!"

"Is Miss Li so frightening" Jiang Wang was a little puzzled.

In his view, though Li Fengyao seemed cold and arrogant, he was just naturally that way, with no ill intentions. He shouldn't be feared like a tiger by someone as presumptuous as Xu Xiangqian.

You have to know, this scholar, back when he was outside the TiFu Secret Realm, dared to openly mock the Jinghai Gao family right in front of them for relying on a woman to advance.

"I'll tell you just one thing," Xu Xiangqian said with an expression that made it clear he thought she was utterly clueless. "That 'Yao' in her name, it wasn't originally the 'Yao' of the ancient sage king. It was the 'Yao' for jade. She changed it herself on the family tree!"

Jiang Wang was secretly amazed.

This is no ordinary household, this is a hereditary and undying Marquessate. The genealogy of the Stone Gate Li clan, who dares to tamper with it Who could possibly dare to do so

When Li Fengyao was about to move, he even changed his own name!
