"Relax." Li Jin lowered his eyes and looked at her, cautiously and seriously: "Stand still."
"Brother, don't you miss me?" Li Can looked up at him.
"You don't have to think about it like this." Li Jin warned: "You have grown up and will have haircuts by the end of your life. You must learn to be steady."
"But, you are my brother." Li Can couldn't help but reach out to hug him.
"A female college student should not only avoid her father, but also her brother." Li Jin still looked serious.
"Then I'll start avoiding him tomorrow, okay?" Li Can hugged his arm tightly: "My brother just came back, I want to get close to him first."
"Tell your friends and follow me back first." Li Jin did not insist anymore and looked at Zhao Yinhuan and said: "This is not the place you should come to."
"Yinhuan, Lianzi, my brother is back, I'm going back first." Li Can spoke without hesitation and waved to Zhao Yinhuan and Zhao Yinhuan.
"Go." Zhao Yinhuan also waved her hand.
Liu Zhenlian looked at the backs of the two siblings and asked curiously: "Cancan has another brother? Why haven't I heard of him?"
She recognized Li Can's two cousins. The young man just now was fair and handsome, and he was obviously not a martial artist.
She has never been seen before.
"Yes." Zhao Yinhuan nodded: "He is her biological brother, ranking third in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion."
"How come I've never seen it before?" Liu Zhenlian was curious.
"He has been staying at his grandfather's house in Yangzhou and rarely comes back." Zhao Yinhuan explained: "It seems that he is at odds with his father. I don't know the details. I heard Cancan mention it occasionally."
"That's normal." Liu Zhenlian said, "Cancan's father is not like my father. My father loves me the most."
"Then what can we do? When a person is born, he can't choose his parents." Zhao Yinhuan pulled her and whispered: "Cancan is gone, let's finish these traps and go to Yichun Pavilion to play.
.”
"You dare to go to a brothel?" Liu Zhenlian blinked her big eyes, dumbfounded.
Although she also played wantonly, she had never been to that kind of place.
"What's wrong with just having fun? I'll learn a lot." Zhao Yin said with a smile, "I don't do anything outrageous."
"Why don't you take Cancan with you?" Liu Zhenlian was puzzled.
"Brother Sixth Emperor refused to let you go." Zhao Yinhuan told her in a low voice: "I took her there once, and Brother Sixth Emperor caught me and gave me twenty canes!"
She raised two fingers. She felt a dull pain just thinking about the beating. How could she dare?
"Is it fun there?" Liu Zhenlian was moved.
"What do you think?" Zhao Yin smiled meaningfully: "Things that are unheard of and unseen are all there."
"Then I'm going." Liu Zhenlian looked around: "Let's go later to avoid being recognized. Just tell my mother and that's it."
Her mother had carefully warned her, let's have fun, don't mess around, and she was definitely not allowed to set foot in the land of romance.
Therefore, after returning to the Imperial Capital for so long, she has never been to a place like that.
She was somewhat curious to begin with, but she had never thought about going to that kind of place. Now that Zhao Yinhuan said this, she felt even more itchy.
Today, as long as her mother doesn't stop her in person, she will go in and see what she has to say.
"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Yinhuan leaned into her ear and said, "I know that place well. I always go in through the back door and wear a curtain hat. Even if I bump into someone I know, no one will recognize me."
"That's good." Liu Zhenlian put down the bamboo hoop in her hand and pulled her: "Then let's go now."
"Walk."
The two hit it off immediately and immediately held hands and went to Yichun Tower.

"Brother, when did you get home? Why didn't you write a letter in advance so that I could help you."
After getting on the carriage, Li Can never let go of Li Jin's hand. She looked at him with her long crow-green eyelashes fluttering, her little face full of the closeness of her sister to her brother.
"I just arrived at the Imperial Capital this morning." Li Jin looked at her with a softer expression: "I heard that you were in the Ninth Princess Mansion, so I went to look for you."
"Did my brother go to see his grandmother and aunt?" Li Can paused for a moment and asked carefully.
My elder brother has an upright temperament and has always disliked Li Cheng's family. He is not even close to his grandmother and eldest aunt.
In the past, I occasionally came back from Yangzhou to see her, just out of courtesy, to see my grandmother and eldest aunt.
She really wanted her brother to get closer to her grandmother and aunt, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.
Although her brother was not like Zhao Zhen, who would hit her on the palm when she did something wrong, he was always strict with her.
Especially before, when she was ignorant and was so close to the He family, her brother was almost always angry with her every time he came back.
She felt very guilty when she thought about it.
"Not yet." Li Jin replied to her.
"My brother and I will go see my grandmother and auntie later, okay?" Li Can asked him in a low voice.
"Yeah." Li Jin nodded.
"By the way, brother." Li Can lowered his head and whispered: "I already know that there is a hidden reason behind my mother's death."
"Do you believe that Mr. He is not a good person?" Li Jin looked at her.
He had told his sister many times before to be wary of He, but she never took it seriously.
He had no choice but not to return to the imperial capital at all, out of sight and out of mind.
"I already know that I made a mistake before." Li Can obediently admitted his mistake and looked up at him again: "Brother, don't be angry.
I got all my mother's things back, but the Hes and their daughters had nothing left.
Although Li Xiangnan married King Qi, King Qi didn't like her. She was a useless chess piece to King Qi, and she would definitely not be happy.
And Li Lainan, she was forced to get engaged to a son she didn't like."
"Don't worry about their affairs." Li Jin asked, "Have you got all the shops back?"
"Yeah." Li Can nodded.
"How did you do it?" Li Jin was worried about her.
"Why can't I do it? Those things are mine." Li Can chuckled: "I have been taught by the East Palace for so many years, right?"
"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, never helped you?" Li Jin asked again.
Li Can smiled and stretched out his hand, pinching the tip of his little finger with his thumb: "I just borrowed a little bit of his power. Who made his name useful?"
That is to say, whenever you encounter something that you cannot refuse, just blame it on Zhao Zhen.
There was a slight smile in Li Jin's eyes: "Speak carefully, that is His Royal Highness, no matter how familiar you are, you must respect him."
"I know." Li Can saw him smiling and took the opportunity to say: "Brother, can I ask them to drive the carriage directly to Xuanhe Courtyard?"
"Yeah." Li Jin nodded.
Li Can hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage and ordered it out, then said: "Candy, arrange for someone with quick legs to go to Huixian Restaurant to buy a table of food and drinks."
"Yes." Candy responded.
"Don't forget to buy wine." Li Can warned again.
"My slave knows." Candy responded with a smile.

Xuanheyuan.
Mrs. Li sat on the couch, facing the door.
Mrs. Lin was standing in front of her, talking to her.
"So, they are looking for someone else..." Mrs. Li thought thoughtfully and said, "Then they should be back soon."
"That's what I think too." Mrs. Lin said gently: "Mom, it's rare for Huoyu to come back, but why don't we take this opportunity to ask my second brother to have a good talk with him?
After all, they are father and son, and they cannot stay like this for the rest of their lives."
"Houyu" is Li Jin's diminutive name.
"Who says it's not the case?" Mrs. Li sighed: "But these father and son are like enemies when they meet.
It’s not like you don’t know what Huoyu’s temper is. Why is he willing to listen to us?
Let alone sitting and talking, even if you ask him to see Cheng'er, he will never be able to respond."
Lin nodded.
"For so many years, his resentment has been hard to get rid of, and he has been unhappy in his heart." Mrs. Li spoke again and sighed: "This means that he has been studying for many years and respects etiquette. Otherwise, he might not even be here with me.
It will come."
"It's not surprising that the child is resentful. He lost his mother when he was young and has been away from home for so many years. Although his grandfather's family also loves him, there must be some difficulties for him." Mrs. Lin felt heartbroken when she said this.
"Yes." Mrs. Li nodded in agreement: "It is most pitiful for a child to have no mother, and he has a stubborn personality."
"Mom, do you think this is okay?" Mrs. Lin came up with an idea: "I will send someone to invite the second brother here. You can talk to him first.
Later, when Nie Yu and Xin'er are back, they will definitely come to your place. As long as the second brother gives in a little bit, there shouldn't be any dispute."
"Okay." Mrs. Li responded: "Let's try it first."
Mrs. Lin then gave the order and asked someone to go to the small kitchen of Luming Courtyard and ask the cooks to prepare a table of dishes.
Li Cheng came soon after, and to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Lin's surprise, Mr. He also came with Li Shu.
