Chapter 373: An invitation to a gathering for distinguished scholars!

Li s.h.i.+nian who was exceptionally intelligent, walked over to pull Li Muyang's hand, smiling, “Brother, I am joking with Mother. Our parents have me to take care of them, you don't have to worry and work hard in your studying and cultivation. When you're away, it was me who got up early in the morning everyday to cook porridge. Isn't that right mother?”

Luo Qi affectionately stroked Li s.h.i.+nian's head, “Your sister is extremely thoughtful. My health wasn't good and she has been taking care of me. Was.h.i.+ng, laundry, cooking, making congee and soup, all these things were done by her——s.h.i.+nian has grown up, she has been sharing my worries and burdens. You don't need to worry about us.”

“Mother——” Li Muyang wanted to persuade her. He really did not want to see his parents suffer hards.h.i.+p because of him.

“Muyang, it's decided.” Luo Qi supported Zhaihua and Chuyao up from the ground and said with a smile: “Girls, I understand your kind intention. But we've been used to it for years, we can take care of ourselves. How about this, when Muyang is here, you will take care of him for me. When Muyang has gone to Starry Sky to study, I will be equally grateful to you for making him sets of clothes for the four seasons——”

“Yes.” Zhaihua and Chuyao bowed in reply.

Seeing that his Mother had made up her mind, Li Muyang knew it would be no use no matter what he says. Without any better option he turn to say to Zhaihua and Chuyao, “Go back to rest. I will be living here for the time being.”

“Yes, Young master.” The two girls responded at the same time. “We have washed Young master's clothes, if there is anything you need you can order us at any time.”

“There isn't anything else now.”

After sending off the two servants, Li s.h.i.+nian studied Li Muyang's face with a grin on hers, as she said “Brother, do you feel very proud?”

“Proud of what?” Li Muyang pretended to be puzzled.

“Hehe, the little black charcoal back then now has four pretty servants to serve him, and they keep sweetly and softly address you as Young master, do you feel your body light like you're walking on clouds?”

“You're wrong.” Li Muyang said sternly.

“What am I wrong with?”

“I actually have five pretty servant girls.” Li Muyang said with a serious face. “In addition to Zhaihua, Chuyao, Tingxue and Xiyu, there is another senior servant Jing'er, who is said to be Aunt Gongsun's personal servant, but she specially sent her over to help me manage the work around——”

“Li Muyang——” Li s.h.i.+nian dashed over to catch and beat up the Li Muyang who was deliberately showing off.

Luo Qi and Li Yan exchanged a glance with each other; the husband and wife were both happy and worried.

Happy because the close sibling relations.h.i.+p between Li Muyang and Li s.h.i.+nian had not changed in the slightest bit after a long time.

Worried because given the Lu family's current treatment towards Li Muyang, giving him beautiful clothes and pretty servants, and also Grandfather Lu had personally invited him over for a chat——they were not sure whether or not they could keep their son forever?

The next day early in the morning, Luo Qi got up to make noodles for her children, when she heard a knock from the outside.

A look of puzzlement crossed Luo Qi's face, thinking who would come so early in the morning?

She opened the door to see Gongsun Yu standing in the snow wearing a white mink outerwear and woolen hat.

Luo Qi was startled. “Miss, its so cold, why did you get up at this time? Is there something urgent?”

“Nothing.” Gongsun Yu somewhat did not dare look at Luo Qi in the eye, explaining in a low voice. “Last night there was heavy snow, and Tiandu is getting colder, I am worried the two children would be freezing cold, so I came over to give them two outerwear——”

Luo Qi cast a glance behind Gongsun Yu, where, as expected, stood two servants carrying a tray each.

Her heart felt slightly sour, but she still forced a smile, grasped Gongsun Yu's hand, and said: “Thank you Miss for the gifts, you are spoiling these two children too much. Come inside to warm yourself up, your hands are freezing cold.”
