After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

Gongsun Qiao's tone was very proud, she was smart, and it immediately reached Li Youwei's heart.

Li Youwei shook his head, "Princess, these things are too valuable, I can't accept them."

Gongsun Qiao didn't expect that Li Youwei would refuse, and was immediately a little anxious.

"Why can't you accept it? We are good friends. Isn't it right for me to give you something?"

Xiaokui tugged at the sleeves of her princess and whispered a few words into her ear.

Gongsun Qiao looked at the box again. Well, she was really prepared. No wonder Li Youwei didn't accept it.

"Ahem, how about this. If you don't want to accept them all, just choose a few. Besides, I'm not giving them away for free. I'm going to marry His Majesty Nanchen soon, and I hope you can take care of them a little more."

After Gongsun Qiao finished speaking, she looked at Li Youwei persistently. If Li Youwei disagreed, she would directly send the box to the Cavalry General's Mansion.

Li Youwei knew that Gongsun Qiao really wanted to give it away, and he didn't want to let down her intentions, so he kept the bow in the end.

"Princess Anping, I have also prepared a gift for you. Let me take this hairpin as a return gift. You may be able to use it in the palace in the future."

Li Youwei took the brocade box from Bitao's hand and handed it to Gongsun Qiao.

Gongsun Qiao happily took it, looked at the hairpin on the velvet cloth, and touched it again and again happily, "Youwei, did you make this yourself?"

"Well, if you press here, this hairpin will shoot out a poisonous needle, which can save your life at critical moments."

"That's great, I like it so much, You Wei, thank you."

"As long as you like it."

After this exchange of gifts, the relationship between the two people became better.

Li Youwei didn't stay too long. She promised yesterday that she would go to Li's Mansion today. It's getting late now, so it's probably going to be urgent over there.

After leaving the inn, Li Youwei took Bitao back to the Cavalry General's Mansion, and then took a carriage to the Li Mansion.

Li Dengyuan got up early in the morning and got busy in person. This was her first time back to Li's house since her eldest daughter officially moved out of the house, so she must leave a good impression on her.

Li Yaozu had already made a mistake at the New Year's Eve banquet, and he wanted to show off even more this time. Only Wang Li was a little distracted.

She felt more and more that her position in the family was in jeopardy, and she was really afraid that one day she would be dismissed by Li Dengyuan.

When everything was almost ready, Li Dengyuan asked Li Yaozu to guard at the door, just like when he stopped Li Youyi at the door. But before, he was making things difficult, but now he is welcoming.

It snowed not long ago, and it was still very cold outside. Li Yaozu kept walking to prevent his feet from freezing.

After waiting for half an hour, Li Youwei was nowhere to be seen. Li Yaozu couldn't help but panic, maybe the eldest sister had changed her mind and stopped coming.

While I was thinking wildly, a few people walked on the path next to me.

When he got closer, Li Yaozu could see who it was and he couldn't help but frown.

"Mom, why did you bring your little brother out? It's too cold. He's too young and won't be able to bear it."

Li Dengyuan's youngest son, Li Yaozong, was only one year and three months old this year and had just learned to walk. At this time, Li Wangshi held his hand, and his little face turned red from the cold.

Li Wangshi glared at Li Yaozu with dissatisfaction, "What do you know? In your eldest sister's heart, Yaozong's position is more important than yours. Wouldn't it be more sincere to let Yaozong come to pick her up?"

These words made Li Yaozu feel a little uncomfortable. Could he actually be inferior to a child over one year old?

"Mom, if you bring my little brother out, does my father know?"

Because the Li Wang family could not take care of the child, Li Dengyuan specially found a wet nurse to take care of Li Yaozong. Now that the wet nurse is not here, she obviously brought him out secretly.

Li Wangshi's eyes were a little evasive, and she did not answer Li Yaozu's question directly. "Yaozu, my mother doesn't want to hear what you are saying. No matter when the time comes, I will be the mistress of the Li family, and Li Yaozong is also my son. Wherever I take him, do I need anyone else's consent?"

Li Yaozu shook his head, his mother was still as confused as ever, no wonder she couldn't win his father's heart.

"Mom, just take care of yourself."

These words made Mrs. Li even more angry. She really had a hard life, raising a white-eyed eldest daughter, and now her son is a loser. She really has foresight. The only way out is to firmly hold the master's heart. .

Although Li Yaozong was young, I heard that he was waiting for his eldest sister to come back. He didn't complain at all. He stood beside Li Yaozong obediently and looked out the door.

After another quarter of an hour, the servant at the door came in happily to report.

"Master, madam, the eldest lady is back."

"Great, let's go and greet him quickly." Li Yaozu picked up Li Yaozong, lifted his legs and walked out.

Mrs. Li was also very excited. She quickly tidied her hair and clothes, and took her maid and mother-in-law out.

"Sister, it's cold outside, please come inside and warm yourself up." Li Yaozu shouted attentively.

Li Yaozong, who was held in his arms, also spoke in a sweet voice, "Sister, come into the house."

Li Youwei looked at the longevity lock hanging around Li Yaozong's neck, and his expression became a little gentler. She made it with her own hands. Although she never came back to see her brother, she ordered people to send him many gifts.

Seeing Li Youwei looking at him, Li Yaozong opened his little arms and said, "Big sister, hug me."

Li Yaozu didn't expect that the little dumpling in his arms was so restless that he dared to let Li Youwei hold him.

Although Li Youwei is their eldest sister, she is also a victorious general on the battlefield. She is no ordinary boudoir girl.

Just when Li Yaozu was about to say something, Li Youwei actually stretched out his hand towards Li Yaozong, "Here, big sister, give me a hug."

After receiving Li Youwei's response, Li Yaozong fluttered to leave Li Yaozu's arms.

Li Yaozu hurriedly sent the person to Li Youwei's arms, "Sister, dad is already waiting. Let's go."

"Ah."

Li Youwei's arm strength is amazing. It is not a problem to hold an adult with one hand, let alone such a small dumpling.

When Li Dengyuan heard that Li Youwei had arrived, he also took him out. When he saw Li Yaozong in Li Youwei's arms, his eyes were full of joy. If his younger son fell into Youwei's eyes, he would have a bright future.

Li Wangshi followed behind, with jealousy hidden in her eyes. She blamed Li Youwei, and Li Yaozong was born to that bitch Xiuer. If she is so close now, he is not just slapping her in the face. She ignored her own brother, but was interested in a half-brother. She couldn't even tell the difference between close and distant relatives.

"Youwei, come and sit inside, the food is ready and can be served at any time."

"Thank you father."

The word father made the smile on Li Dengyuan's face freeze. I don't know when his eldest daughter stopped calling him father. Although father was an honorific title, it was too unfamiliar.

If he was called like this outside, it would be fine. If he was still called like this at home, she should still blame him.

Li Dengyuan felt sour and regretful, but he couldn't change anything.

The group entered the dining hall, and Li Dengyuan ordered the kitchen to serve food.

Li Dengyuan sat in the main seat, Li Youwei sat on his left, Li Yaozu sat on his right, then Li Yaozong, and the mistress Li Wang sat relatively far away.

The food was quickly served. Li Dengyuan picked up the wine glass and was about to speak when a sharp female voice sounded outside the door, "Mom and dad, wait for my daughter."
