Chapter 373 – An Invitation To A Gathering For Distinguished Scholars! (2/2)

Gongsun Yu very much wanted to go in. Ever since her son had returned, she almost hasn't been sleeping well. When she opened her eyes she wanted to see her son, and when she saw his son she thought of what she wanted to give to her son.

However, she must not let outsiders notice the relations.h.i.+p between their family and Li Muyang——this sort of life really was torture for her.

However, she still rationally declined.

Grasping Luo Qi's hand, she looked at her and said, “I just came to see, nothing——I won't go in. It's——I have to trouble you.”

After that, she loosened her grip on Luo Qi's hand and turned around to the front courtyard.

Luo Qi received the cloaks that the two servants brought up to her, gazed at Gongsun Yu's rear distant figure and stood for a long while in silence.

When Li Muyang and Li s.h.i.+nian woke up, Luo Qi had already prepared a family meal.

Luo Qi handed a black cloak to Li Muyang and the other red cloak to Li s.h.i.+nian.

“Mother, why buy us such expensive clothes?” Li s.h.i.+nian at once draped the cloak over her, the furry hat accentuating her delicate and beautiful little face. Li s.h.i.+nian's cloak was red, but Li s.h.i.+nian's cheeks were more beautiful than this red colour.

“They are from your Aunt Yu.” Luo Qi said softy, looking very busy.

“They really are too polite.” Li Muyang let out a sigh.

“I have saved Uncle Lu, but there is still no need to repeatedly give us gifts.

Li Muyang wrapped the black outerwear around his body, immediately feeling a cosy warmth.

“This is the fur of a Fire fox?” Li Muyang exclaimed.

“Fire fox? What is a Fire fox?” Li s.h.i.+nian asked.

“I heard that there is a species of fox that lives in the Lava Valley, there are white ones, black and also red——There are many red ones and the black is the rarest. It is said that fire qi builds up inside their fur from being polished by the flames and lava over the years. Their fur makes excellent clothing for the cold winter.”

“So magical” Li s.h.i.+nian's eyes widened. “Then these two pieces of clothes must be worth a lot of money?”

“It's a lot of money. Only the Lu family would be so generous, if you counted on your parents——then most likely you will never be wearing such good clothes.” Luo Qi said with a rather jealous tone of voice. The Lu family had been treating her children really well, but why did she——feel so upset about it?

Li s.h.i.+nian hurriedly took off the cloak, draping it over Luo Qi's body, smiled and said, “I think this cloak looks the best on Mother. Brother, don't you think so?”

“Indeed.” Li Muyang aslo took off the black cloak. “Father often works night s.h.i.+fts, it is bitterly cold at night, he might not be able to withstand. I will give him this cloak to keep warm at night.”

“Silly children——” Luo Qi wrapped her arms around Li s.h.i.+nian, then tightly held Li Muyang's hand, her eyes glistening.

Li s.h.i.+nian and Li Muyang exchanged a glance at one another, a suspicious look on their faces.

After dinner, Li Muyang planned to accompany his Mother in the courtyard to enjoy the snow and the plum blossom to be a dutiful son for a day, but there were servants knocking at the door again to deliver an invitation card, asking Li s.h.i.+nian to attend the Still Water Dew gathering in the evening today.

“Still water dew?” Li s.h.i.+nian held the invitation with both hands, a flash of surprise crossing her face.
