Yongle Lane, Li Residence.
Ever since Li Zexuan returned to his room in the morning with his sword and left on his horse, the entire Li Residence was in chaos.
When the servant girl returned to the East Courtyard and reported what had happened to Madam Li, Madam Li almost fainted from shock. She hurriedly sent someone to invite Li Jingmo back from the West City.
When Li Jingmo returned, he heard that Han Tianhu's daughter had been taken away and that his son had disobeyed the imperial decree and gone to the village alone to save her. He was so angry that his face darkened. He couldn't help but curse, "This unfilial son! Ouch! "
"Who are you calling an unfilial son? Our son is in danger now. As his father, you don't think of a way to save him. Instead, you're making sarcastic remarks. Are you Xuan 'er's father or not? "
Mrs. Li was already anxious. Now that she heard her husband scold her precious son as an unfilial son, how could she hold herself back? She used the Nine Yin White Bone Claw to viciously vent her anger on Li Jingmo's waist.
When Li Jingmo heard the second half of his wife's words, his already dark face became as dark as the bottom of a pot. However, due to his wife's many years of power, he didn't dare to say anything. He could only wave his hand and say, "Madam, calm down. Your husband will think of a way right now."
"Hmph!"
Madam Li released her hand hatefully.
Li Jingmo rubbed his waist as his mind raced to think of a way. His unfilial son's words were of course words spoken in anger. His concern for his son was no less than his wife's.
"Madam, don't be anxious. Your husband will personally go to Duke Lu's Residence to ask for help. Duke Lu treats Xuan 'er like a nephew. He is also a veteran who has led troops for many years. He will definitely be able to save Xuan' er."
Li Jingmo thought about it and felt that this was the only way at present.
Madam Li said anxiously, "Then go quickly, Master!"
Li Jingmo nodded and spurred his horse out the door.
.....
An hour later, Li Jingmo returned.
"Master, how is it? Is Duke Lu willing to save Xuan 'er?" Madam Li asked as soon as Li Jingmo entered.
Li Jingmo handed the reins to the servant and said to his wife, "Madam, I just went to the House of Duke and didn't run into Duke Lu. The servants in their house said that Duke Lu and Duke Yi brought their family to save Han Yuxi and Xuan 'er."
Madam Li said in pleasant surprise, "That's great. Master, with Duke Lu and Duke Yi taking action, our Xuan-er won't be in any danger, right?"
When Li Jingmo saw his wife looking at him expectantly, he hurriedly nodded affirmatively and comforted her.
"Of course, High Duke Lu and High Duke Yi were both great generals who could fight against a hundred men on their own back in the day. The two High Dukes didn't even take a few bandits seriously. On the way back, I heard that His Majesty had sent a thousand Yulin Guards to assist Xuan 'er in exterminating the bandits. Madam, don't worry. Xuan 'er will definitely be fine. "
Madam Li was slightly relieved. When she heard the second half of Li Jingmo's words, she said in disbelief, "Master, Xuan 'er defied the imperial edict and didn't answer the summons. Not only did His Majesty not punish him, he even sent troops to help Xuan' er. What's the reason for this?"
Li Jingmo was also somewhat bewildered. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. Let's just wait for Xuan 'er to return safely."
.....
The couple waited for half a day. During this time, Lan 'er and Iron Egg also heard about this matter. Although the two little ones were anxious, this was an adult matter and they couldn't help much. Thus, the two children stayed in the front hall and waited with Li Jingmo and his wife.
The servants in the house also noticed that the atmosphere in the house wasn't right today. Every one of them was extremely careful, afraid that they would make a mistake.
In the evening, San Bao rushed in and said excitedly, "Master, Madam, the Yulin Guards have already entered the city. Young Master and Young Miss Yuxi are inside and will probably be back soon."
Madam Li stood up excitedly and looked at Li Jingmo. She said in a trembling voice, "Master, Xuan 'er is back. Xuan' er is back!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but cry. Although Li Jingmo comforted her that her son would be fine, she had waited for so long without seeing her son. God knew how much suffering she had experienced as a mother. Now that she finally heard the news of her son's safe return, her suspended heart finally settled.
Li Jingmo patted Madam Li's shoulder lightly and said with a smile, "Madam, you don't have to worry now. I said before that Xuan 'er will be fine."
At this time, Lan 'er also cried out happily, "Mother, don't cry. Lan' er knows that Big Brother is the best. He will definitely be fine."
Iron Egg heard that his sister and young master were fine and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After waiting for half an hour, what they waited for wasn't Li Zexuan, but their family's white horse. Madam Li asked the horse carriers where Li Zexuan went and was told that Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi had gone to the Imperial Medical Department to visit Hu Hanyun.
When Madam Li heard this, she was secretly annoyed at her son's thoughtlessness. He didn't even know to come back and see his parents first.
It wasn't until nightfall that Li Zexuan led Han Yuxi back home.
Lan 'er was the first to run over. She held Li Zexuan's hand and asked, "Big Brother, are you okay? Lan 'er and Mother were worried sick! "
When Li Zexuan heard this, he patted Lan 'er's head with heartache and said, "Big Brother is fine!"
Madam Li and Li Jingmo also walked out at this time. Madam Li hurriedly stepped forward and held Li Zexuan's arms with both hands. She carefully examined Li Zexuan's body for a while before saying,
"Xuan 'er, are you hurt?"
Li Zexuan hurriedly pretended to be relaxed and said, "Mother, I'm not hurt at all. Don't worry, I've learned martial arts for so many years. I'm very powerful."
Lan 'er interjected, "Mother, you see, Lan' er already said that big brother's martial arts are the best. He'll definitely be fine."
At this time, Iron Egg ran over to greet Li Zexuan first. Then, he went to Han Yuxi's side and asked softly, "Big Sister, are you okay?"
Han Yuxi shook her head and whispered, "Big Sister is fine."
At this time, Madam Li looked at Han Yuxi with a complicated expression. Every mother was selfish when it came to their children. She did like Han Yuxi before, but today, her son was in danger because of her. Madam Li's heart more or less had a knot in it.
"Miss Han, it's good that you're okay."
Madam Li thought for a long time, but still said this in a neutral tone.
Han Yuxi's pretty face turned pale when she heard these obviously distant words. She immediately realized that Madam Li had distanced herself from her because of what happened today. She was so anxious that tears almost rolled out. She held back her sadness and hurriedly bowed down.
"Madam, it's Yuxi's fault. Yuxi caused Young Master to be in danger. Yuxi has let Master and Madam down."
Li Zexuan also heard the coldness in his mother's words. He secretly thought that it was a good thing that he went to the Imperial Medical Department first. Otherwise, if he came back covered in blood, wouldn't his mother turn the sky upside down? He quickly went over to help Han Yuxi up and said to his mother,
"Mother, you can't blame Yuxi for this. Those bandits kidnapped her mainly to get the formula for our family's new wine from her. In fact, it's still my fault. If I didn't ask Yuxi to help me brew wine, she wouldn't have gone through this disaster now. "
On the way back, Han Yuxi told Li Zexuan everything that had happened during the time when she was captured.
When Madam Li heard Li Zexuan's words that were obviously protective of Han Yuxi, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at her son. She thought to herself that her son had forgotten his mother when he had a wife.
She couldn't help but say unhappily, "Mother didn't blame Yuxi. Why are you in such a hurry to jump out and say this?"
Actually, she just had a knot in her heart. She didn't really have a problem with Han Yuxi.
Li Jingmo saw that the atmosphere was awkward, so he quickly coughed dryly and said, "Cough cough, Xuan 'er, Yuxi, you haven't eaten yet, right? Don't stand here. Go in, Madam, go in too. Cough cough."
Lan 'er also chimed in, "That's right, Mother. Hurry up and eat. Lan' er didn't even eat lunch. She's hungry and thin."
"Pfft!"
Madam Li couldn't help but laugh. She poked Lan 'er's forehead with her finger and said angrily, "You little girl, you only know how to eat!"
