Cups came and went, and Little Brother Lee got drunk.

Why is he drunk?

Naturally, I'm holding the drinks for the women.

The four women are not capable of drinking, this kind of occasion, toast and had to drink, had to trouble the bodyguard to do it for them.

The crowd just wondered a little bit, the Sovereign's bodyguard, how the other three women could also instruct the group around, and the butt was very happy to serve.

The key was that the Patriarch was surprisingly not angry, with an expression of having seen it all before.

Li Mu left a cup of right, come to the bottom of whoever honors with whoever.

For one thing, I've been standing too long and I'm thirsty.

Secondly, I've been looking at it for too long and I'm craving it.

The third thing is that there is resentment in the heart.

To be honest, Li Mu was dissatisfied with his old ancestor's personnel arrangements.

He felt that he was too big to use, even if he was not allowed to be the Patriarch, he should at least be a deputy, how could he just arrange a miscellaneous errand.

What protects him, what exercises him, it's all bullshit with him.

If you want to protect me, why don't you let me go back to Nanyang? Wouldn't it be better to leave this muddy water?

Exercise is not necessary to say again, he like this still need to exercise? Even if you want to exercise, you do not need to be a grandson first.

Although it's true that our true identity is a few grandchildren, there's no need to be a grandson to anyone else.

Little Reeko's thoughts were not paranoid, and as far as his current position was concerned, who but four women would look at him squarely in the eye.

I'm afraid that in their eyes, Little Brother Li is really less than a grandson.

It made him feel bad, and he drank, and drank, and it became a way to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

A few of the women were sharp-witted and knew their master too well to know that it was going to be bad, which was not a good sign, and once his donkey temper came up, no one could bring it down.

Lin Wan immediately decided to disperse the banquet and instructed everyone to go back to rest.

When the Patriarch gave the word, everyone didn't dare to disobey and rose to take their leave.

Little Brother Li is not doing it, he is not sincere to make trouble, the key is, hungry ah!

He had a special physique, and the liquor he drank had long since evaporated with his sweat, and the more he drank, the drunker he got, and the more he drank, the emptier the inside of his stomach became, and the more he clawed at his heart with hunger.

At this moment, when he heard that the banquet was over, Little Brother Li was in a hurry then.

You guys are using me as a nightcap, all you know how to do is fill me with piss, don't know how to feed me some...

Don't think down that dirty word!

Forget it. No one cares, so we'll fend for ourselves!

With the strength of his drink, he reached out and copied an elbow in sauce and nibbled on it like no one else was watching.

The crowd looked dumbfounded.

Lin Niangniang felt embarrassed and looked at her husband with a complicated expression, not saying a word.

A few minutes later, an elbow went down, and it still didn't seem to fill me up.

Little Sister was very good at handing over a chicken.

Shen Xingyue hurriedly fetched over an empty plate and carefully picked fine products for Mu.

...

A group of people either stood or sat, together surrounded, and when Little Brother Li was satisfied, they then remembered that the meeting had already been dispersed, and hurriedly dispersed in a flurry.

Lin Wan and the others returned to their residence.

After entering the house, Lin Wan shielded her left and right and asked Li Mu, "Hubby, angry?"

Liamu was lying on all fours, sleep starting to pour in, and didn't even hear what she was asking.

Lin Niangniang was not polite and slapped him hard on his thigh.

Little Reeko sat up in a daze, staring and asking, "What for?"

"I'm asking you a question?"

"What?"

"Are you angry?"

"No, it's fine, why are you angry?"

"You just acted rude and made a fool of everyone."

"I'm hungry!"

"Can't you hold back a bit, you're my bodyguard, so slutty, outsiders will suspect us."

Liamu didn't like it.

"How am I slutty, didn't you announce that the meeting was adjourned, so many delicacies left unattended, what a pity to throw them away, I'm still hungry, what can I do with some?"

Sister Hong hurriedly said, "Xiao Wan, forget it, he stood for a day and drank so much liquor on an empty stomach, hunger in his belly is inevitable, don't complain about him."

Li Mu immediately seized the topic and said loudly, "Sister Hong is right, I've been standing for a day, I'm starving and drinking, and after the banquet breaks up, can't I even eat some leftovers?"

Lin Wan frowned, "I'm not saying it's not possible, but I'm saying that your demeanor is not in keeping with your status, and it's easy for people to become suspicious."

"So what?"

"It won't do anything, but it might ruin the old ancestor's plans."

"So what if it's destroyed, don't talk about me for a moment, let me ask you, Xiao Yu and Xing Yue have been handing me dishes one after another, and you two siblings have been standing by coldly, who has done anything for me?"

Sister Hong was surprised, "You, why are you even complaining about me."

"Reasoning doesn't look at people, it's only when things go wrong that they show warmth and coldness, you know it and I know it, let's go, I'm going to the guest room to rest, don't follow me."

Reimu jumped out of bed and headed out without looking back.

Lin Wan anxiously yelled, "What are you doing?"

"Go to bed, you mustn't chase out, the underlings will laugh at you if they see the Patriarch chasing the bodyguard."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

He Xiaoyu chased after him without saying a word.

Shen Xingyue just wanted to chase her out, but Lin Wan grabbed her and said in a firm tone, "You're not allowed to go!"

On the big bed in the guest room, He Xiaoyu plopped down beside her senior brother and asked in a small voice, "Senior brother, are you really angry?"

"Half-true!"

"I knew Shifu wasn't that petty, what are you playing at, what's real and what's not?"

"Her indifference gave me chills, and that part of the play was more or less true."

He Xiaoyu was surprised, "Apathy, how is Sister Wan apathetic?"

"Though constrained by my status and not good enough to be kind to me in plain sight, I am after all her husband, and is it not indifference to starve in the belly and leave it unattended?"

"You've already said that Sister Wan is restricted by her status, she can't act too nice to you."

"With her status, she could have come up with a million ways to feed me if she wanted to, instead of sitting back and watching me make a public spectacle of myself."

He Xiaoyu sighed and didn't take his words.

Li Mu sat up and said to her, "Although the Old Ancestor is important, who accompanies her in life and death, who accompanies her in bed, and who protects her for a lifetime of peace, and the Old Ancestor, no matter how close he is, is still an outsider, and an outsider who has just met her."

"Senior brother, don't think too much, Sister Wan is just taking into account the big picture..."

"I know she's taking the big picture into account, but is the big picture really more important than her husband, and is the old ancestor's arrangement always the right one?

When facing the Old Ancestor, who has spoken for me, who has fought for me, and only knows how to accept it all, is this not indifference?"

He Xiaoyu broke out in a cold sweat and quickly confessed, "I, I, I've fought for my senior brother, I've always fought for him, it's just that the Old Ancestor wouldn't listen to me."

"I knew you'd do it, and I'm sad that she's not doing it, so I'm going to take advantage of the situation to wake her up, or else the family is bound to fall apart sooner or later."

He Xiaoyu immediately hugged him.

"Sifu, I will only take your feelings into account, for me, nothing in the grand scheme of things matters, my Sifu is most important."

Li Mu patted her back and said in relief, "This is what a husband and wife should be like, if I did wrong, you can accuse me and help me, how can you deny me and give up on me right from the start, and leave your loved ones out in the cold for the sake of the greater good, this is unavoidably chilling to the heart."

He Xiaoyu comforted him, ''Sister Wan didn't do it on purpose, she grew up fatherless and motherless, living in an environment of deceit, and was framed by her family and lost her baby.

These experiences have flattened her view of intimacy; it's not that she doesn't care for you, but she can't think of that much."

"So I'm going to let her know the priorities, let her figure out what's deep and what's shallow, if she wants to be an indifferent patriarch, I'll choose to leave, I don't need such a wife to look at and be upset."

"Okay, take me with you when you want to go, and I'll go with you wherever you go."

"Well, enough of that, let me tell you which part is false!"

"Yes!"

Li Mu picked up He Xiaoyu and said to her seriously, "Old Ancestor's mouth is not the same as her heart, and she told you that she would not control my life, but what she did, she still intends to manipulate everything."

He Xiaoyu came to a sudden realization and ate and laughed, "Senior wants to get rid of her?"

"Yes, I am the master of my destiny, blessing or curse, it is my choice, and as I told you, I don't want to be a puppet on a string."

"Not accepting your current status is the defiance you make?"

"Well, Old Ancestor probably thought that the Bright Wheel Sect was a river and mountain that she was sitting on, and that I had to accept her arrangements unconditionally, and that I had to be grateful to her.

But I don't want to accept this gift, for me, my foundation is in Nanyang, I'm the head of the Li family, I have my men, why should I submit to her?"

"Old Ancestor wants you to take the road less traveled, did you misunderstand her?"

Li Mu attached himself to He Xiaoyu's ear and whispered, "Silly senior sister, what you said is both right and wrong."

"What do you mean?"

"Trying to make me less of a person is for sure, and that's indeed her good intention, but it's also her goal to wear down my edges and turn me into a dutiful and obedient son and grandson."

He Xiaoyu didn't understand and pondered for a while before waking up, "That's why she deliberately suppressed you?"

"That's right, she should be well aware of my abilities, so why is she still suppressing me... Silly senior sister, think carefully and you'll understand everything."

"I thought that her purpose was just to protect you?"

"Idiot, I've lived so long, how come I don't know that someone is trying to harm me, and if she's trying to protect me, why doesn't she say who the enemy is?"

He Xiaoyu recalled carefully and nodded his head, "It's true that Old Ancestor didn't say that there was anyone who wanted to harm you!"

Li Mu laughed, "So, everything stems from your guesses, she is merely leading you on, making you think that she wants to protect me, when in reality, her true purpose is to control me."

He Xiaoyu had completely listened in and immediately agreed, "I see, she deliberately suppressed you and wore down your fighting spirit before gradually lifting you up and making you grateful so that you'll do whatever she wants."

"Yes, an old monster who has lived for countless years and plays with people is very skillful, you see, without wasting much effort, people have already succeeded in dividing us and creating a gap between us as a couple."

"I see, we are indeed too juvenile to fight back in front of these old guys, I'm afraid that all of our wisdom combined is no match for someone else's bright idea."
