Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled.
Siao Tieying, Linquan, Siao Shi and Mulin stepped into the hall and looked at Chu Li from head to toe.
Siao Tieying grabbed his arm and laughed, "Good, you're alive! Good! Good! "
"Master Siao, I'm lucky." Chu Li smiled.
"You survived the lightning, you're really lucky!" Siao Tieying exclaimed.
Siao Shi looked at him with her watery eyes and did not say a word.
Mulin grabbed his wrist and felt it. He nodded in satisfaction, "Good boy, you're really lucky!"
Chu Li smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Elder Mulin."
"You little brat, I'm really unlucky to have met you!" Mulin scoffed.
"Alright Chu Li, you can go back and rest." Siao Qi said, "Rest for a few days."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded and closed fist saluted.
Siao Shi watched him leave without blinking.
Chu Li only looked at her once, smiled and nodded. He then left and did not look at her again.
"This little brat, since he's fine, I'll go back too." Mulin shook his head, "Second Lady, you should have a good rest too. After all, you've just recovered from a serious illness. You can't be careless."
"Okay." Siao Shi answered absentmindedly.
Only the three siblings were left in the building. Linquan also left the building.
"Thank God, Chu Li is a good man!" Siao Tieying laughed, "Looks like the House of High Duke's luck is coming!"
Siao Qi nodded, "Big Brother, we have to thank Chu Li."
"Of course!" Siao Tieying smiled, "We can't treat him badly. Or else, not only will I feel bad, the House will not agree to it! Second Sister, how do you think we should reward Chu Li? "
"Me …?" Siao Shi shook her head, "I don't know about this!"
Siao Qi remained silent.
Siao Tieying laughed, "Second Sister, Chu Li is infatuated with you. Why don't you marry him?"
"Big Brother, what are you talking about!" Siao Shi glared at him.
Siao Tieying looked at Siao Shi's blushing face and laughed, "What's there to be embarrassed about with Big Brother? It's easy to get a priceless treasure, but it's hard to get a lover. Let Chu Li be my brother-in-law. I know him well! "
"Big Brother, don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Shi said angrily, "It's impossible between him and me!"
"Chu Li isn't good enough for you!" Siao Shi said. Apart from his low birth, he was top-notch in terms of talent and martial arts. What was even rarer was that He's willing to die for you. Where else can you find such a good man? "
"Chu Li and I are not compatible," Siao Shi shook her head, "He likes Third Younger Sister more!"
"Hmm?" Siao Tieying looked at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi snapped, "Why are you dragging me into this?!"
Xiao Shi said, "I know why he saved me. It's because of Third Younger Sister!"
Xiao Qi sighed. "Second Eldest Sister, you don't like Chu Li?"
To. Tiying to to to Ling to Xiao Tiying and Xiao.
Siao Tieying laughed and said, "Second sister, that engagement of yours doesn't count at all. Si. Xiao Xiao to. Li,. Tito to to, Ti Tito.
"It's just a verbal agreement. It's not an official engagement."
"My body has always been weak. They won't. Now that I'm healthy, it's not necessarily the case."
Siao Shi said. Tieying shook his head. "If you don't want to, then don't spread the news. Let everyone think that you've always been weak. The key is your opinion. Don't let yourself suffer!"
"I think it's good to marry into the Imperial Residence." Siao Shi said. "It's a good home."
Siao Tieying frowned.
Qi Siao said, "Second Sister. The House of High Dukes doesn't need a marriage to get out of trouble! "
Siao Tieying's face darkened, "That's right!"
Siao Shi said, "I heard that Prince An is educated and polite. He's a good match for you."
"But Prince An is already forty. He already has a concubine!" Siao Tieying said, "It's better for you to marry Chu Li. No matter how talented he is, no one can compare to him when it comes to love. He won't let you suffer! "
"Prince An hasn't chosen a concubine yet. He's fulfilling the marriage agreement." Siao Shi said.
Siao Tieying's face darkened.
Qi Siao's face darkened too.
This marriage agreement was their scar. No one wanted to open it. It hurt.
"Big Brother. Father isn't here. Can he go back on his words? "Siao Shi said." If I really marry Chu Li and Prince An investigates, who can stop him? "
Siao Tieying gripped the armrest of his armchair tightly. He didn't say a word.
Prince An was the third son of the Emperor. He was a descendant of the Imperial Family. The reason why he didn't choose a concubine was because of the marriage agreement. His father and the Emperor made the marriage agreement when they were drunk. He promised his second sister to be Prince An's concubine.
At that time, his second sister wasn't even born yet. Now, his father was in Isolated Cultivation. His second sister was bound by this marriage agreement.
After so many years, the Imperial Residence of King An had never mentioned about the engagement. They did not marry Siao Shi because Siao Shi's body was weak. She would not be able to adapt to the Imperial Residence. If something were to happen, the two families would definitely fall out and fight.
Now that Siao Shi's body had recovered, the Imperial Residence of Prince An would definitely fulfill the marriage agreement. After all, Siao Shi was the first beauty of the Great Ji Dynasty.
The House of High Dukes and the Imperial Family worked together but they also had conflicts. They looked like one but they were fighting in the dark.
If Siao Shi were to marry into the Imperial Residence, even if she was the concubine, she wouldn't have a good life. It was no different from jumping into a fire pit. Siao Tieying had deep feelings for his sister. He couldn't bear to let her marry into the Imperial Residence. His opinion of his father was also because of the marriage agreement.
Siao Qi sighed. "Then we'll drag it out. Second Sister, don't think that marrying Prince An will help the House of High Dukes!"
"That's right!" Siao Tieying quickly said. "Second Sister, even if I marry the Princess, it won't help the House at all."
"Prince An has a good reputation." Siao Shi said softly. "You don't have to worry!"
"Second Sister!" Siao Tieying's face darkened. "Are you not going to listen to your big brother?"
"Big Brother …" Siao Shi sighed. "Paper can't cover fire. Prince An will find out eventually!"
"We'll drag it out for as long as we can!" Siao Tieying scoffed. "If father can enter the Enlightened Mastery's Boundary, the marriage agreement will naturally be canceled!"
Siao Shi shook her head.
It was not that easy to break through the Enlightened Mastery's Boundary. She had no confidence at all.
Siao Tieying's interest waned. He sighed. "Third Sister, how are we going to reward Chu Li?"
"Raise him to rank two?" Siao Qi asked.
Siao Tieying pondered for a moment. He nodded. "Logically speaking, his contributions are not enough to raise him to rank two. But this time, he took the initiative to sacrifice himself to save Third Sister. It's rare. We can make an exception and raise him to rank two."
Siao Qi nodded. "Yes."
Siao Tieying turned his head and looked at Siao Shi. "Let Chu Li be the Chief of Symphony Island!"
"No need!" Siao Shi quickly waved her hand. "Chu Li is Third Sister's favorite general."
Siao Tieying looked at Siao Qi. "Third Sister?"
Siao Qi sighed. "Forget it. Let Chu Li visit her more often."
She understood her big brother's intention. He wanted Chu Li to hook Second Sister's heart. He wanted to prevent her from acting recklessly and jumping into the fire pit of the Imperial Residence of King An. He wanted Second Sister to marry Chu Li by any means possible.
But what would that do to Chu Li?
Siao Shi rolled her eyes at them. "If Chu Li comes, I'll leave!"
Siao Tieying sighed. "Second Sister, don't act recklessly! If you really marry into the Imperial Residence of King An, I won't be able to face mother even if I die! "
Siao Shi heard him mention mother and did not say anything else.
Siao Qi could see through Siao Shi's thoughts. She had a good impression of Chu Li, but it was only a good impression. She had no desire for a romantic relationship. She wanted to change the situation of the Public House and help the Public House.
