Chapter 368 – Assassin Reappears! (2/2)
Li Muyang smiled and said, “It because I take care of the rabbit, and I saved the life of Miss Xiaoxin? A person needs to have good fortune to have a good life. You don't have a good life.”
“You're right.” Cui Meng flung his wrist, whipping the horseback, and the steed pulled the carriage madly forward.
The carriage wheels rumbled, pressing on the soft snow and producing crunching sounds.
As the carriage went away into the distance, the silhouette blurred, and a white figure appeared on the edge of the roadside.
He looked to the direction of Tiandu, a bloodthirsty light flas.h.i.+ng in his red eyes.

As the snow was getting heavier, the motorcade had to slow down. Sometimes seeing the beautiful scenery, Cui Xiaoxin and Li s.h.i.+nian got off to see and play.
Walking and stopping, it was dark when they arrived at the Tiandu's city gate.
Cui Xiaoxin let the carraige return first, while she personally took Li s.h.i.+nian back home.
Ning Xinhai hesitated for a moment, and then ordered everyone else to leave. He personally served as a cart driver to send the two Miss home.
As Li Muyang said goodbye to Cui Meng, Cui Meng asked when Li Muyang would buy him a drink. He still remembered the thing that Li Muyang had promised. Li Muyang thought for a moment and remembered that Lu Xingkong's birthday was soon, and he probably wouldn't be going back to school in these few days. He answered in these two day, saying that he could not act as he pleased.
Cui Meng nodded. “Indeed. We have to go with our master's time. The master wants to use the carriage and we have to hurry and come over.”
Li Muyang patted him on the shoulder, and then followed the carriage back to the Lu mansion.
At the entrance to the Lu mansion, Li s.h.i.+nian and Cui Xiaoxin were reluctant to part, and finally agreed to see each other again in a few days.
After the carriage left, Li Muyang and Li s.h.i.+nian returned to the courtyard where their family resides in.
Li s.h.i.+nian closed the courtyard door, and immediately seemed to be brought back to life, holding Li Muyang by the arm. “Brother, tell me quickly, what happened between you and Sister Xiaoxin?”
“Can't hold yourself back any longer?” Li Muyang asked with a smile.
“Tell me quickly, how did you save Sister Xiaoxin? What did you see under the hot spring?”
“I forgot.” Li Muyang said, raising his head.
“I'll bite you.” Li s.h.i.+nian pounced over at Li Muyang.
Li Muyang hurriedly ran away, Li s.h.i.+nian madly chased after behind. They resumed the life that they had at Jiangnan.
Luo Qi heard her children's voices and at once came out to greet them.
Seeing Li Muyang's rosy face, she thought that he was freezing, and hurriedly brought a cotton-padded coat out to give to Li Muyang, “Muyang, hurry put this on. Such cold weather, you should have stayed in Thousand Buddha temple for another few days, why hurry back here?”
“Mother, I'm not cold.” Li Muyang received the coat and said with a smile. Although his body had long improved and could endure the cold more than ordinary people, his mother still treated him as a patient.
Li s.h.i.+nian's little face was red, saying irritably, “He is not cold, I am cold. Mother, why didn't you think of giving me clothes?”
“You've been st.u.r.dy since you were a kid, and I couldn't even stop you from playing in a heavy snow. Now that you've grown up, you become aware of the cold?”
“You value the male child only.”
“Do you want me to rip your mouth off.” Luo Qi smiled and was about to pull Li s.h.i.+nian's face, when she hurriedly fled away.
“It's good to see you two back. I have made a pot of ginseng soup, you both go have a bowl to warm yourself up——”
“Mum, haven't we finished the ginseng already ?”
“Your Aunt Gongsun sent over a big box, its enough for a year's use.”
“Aunt Gongsun just wants to thank Brother for saving uncle Lu.”
“What are you saying?” Luo Qi looked at Li Muyang with a complex gaze. “Has Aunt Gongsun ever treated us bad before? When has she ever treated us as outsiders?”
“Yes yes yes. I'm just saying, why are you angry? Mother, I realised that ever since brother has returned, you don't like anything I do——”
“What nonsense is this child talking about now?” Luo Qi took off her coat to drape over Li s.h.i.+nian's shoulder. “Hurry come in the house or you'll catch a cold.”

The Lu mansion's plum garden.
Lu Xingkong was reading a doc.u.ment, when the old housekeeper came in with a pot of tea.
He poured away the cup of cold tea on Lu Xingkong's desk and brewed a cup of hot tea, placing it right beside the old man.
“Say what you want to say, you don't need to do this.” Lu Xingkong swept a glance at the old housekeeper.
The old housekeeper's mouth widened into a grim. “I can't hide anything from you. Young master Muyang is back, you don't want to see him? Can you really bear not to see him?”
Lu Xingkong set down the doc.u.ment in his hands, took the cup of tea and did not say a word.
After a long while he then responded, “Then, let's see him.””
