As expected, Situ Yueqin knew. “It’s Second Brother.”
“Whose family is it?”
“Second Uncle’s family. His name is Situ Lei.”
Tang Li nodded and had an idea.
Situ Huang asked her, “Miss Tang, do you need my help?”
As long as Tang Li could treat his son in peace, he would go out of his way to help.
Seeing how enthusiastic Situ Huang was, Tang Li did not reject it. “Alright, you’re Situ Lei’s uncle. A word from you should work.”
Situ Huang thought so too. Besides, this kind of thing was really nothing to him.
So he got his butler to call Situ Lei and tell him to stop punishing the music trainer.
Situ Lei hung up the phone and sneered. At this moment, he was playing volleyball with a few people. When he sneered, the others looked at him in confusion.
Someone asked, “Bro, who pissed you off?”
“My First Uncle.” Situ Lei sneered and said, “He got his butler to call me and tell me not to punish a small music trainer.”
“Is he the Lu Cong who scolded you girlfriend when she was training?”
“Right.”
Situ Lei sneered, “Looks like this Lu Cong is quite capable. He actually went to find my First Uncle.”
“At that time, your girlfriend was scolded by that music trainer in front of so many people for being tone-deaf. Are you really going to forget it and let him go?”
“Forget it? How is that possible?” Situ Lei made a call and said to the other party fiercely, “Go and find out if Lu Cong is working for my uncle. If not, make him leave Imperial Capital.”
With that, he hung up.
The others immediately cheered.
“Bro, good job. You should teach this kind of person a lesson. Otherwise, he won’t know his place.”
“That’s right. How dare he scold Brother Lei’s woman? He’s courting death.”
“This kind of person should be banned from all walks of life.”
“Right.”
…
With Situ Huang’s help, Tang Li was relieved and brought Linlin back to Situ Jin’s courtyard.
When the two of them reached the garden in the middle, Linlin suddenly pulled Tang Li and said, “Master, I smell a malicious ghost.”
Tang Li sensed it too and said to her, “Let’s go to Situ Jin’s house first. You can find an excuse to take a look.”
“Alright.”
“But if the resentment is too strong, don’t absorb it. This kind of malicious ghost has karma. If you eat them, you have to suffer the karma. It’s not worth it.”
“Got it.”
The two of them quickly returned to Situ Jin’s courtyard.
The weather today was not bad. The breeze was gentle, and Situ Jin got someone to bring a recliner under the eaves to enjoy the sun.
When he saw the two of them return, he asked, “Did you ask what you wanted to ask?”
“Yeah.”
Tang Li said to Linlin, “Have fun. I’m going to the herb room.”
“Yes, Godmother.”
After Linlin answered obediently, she walked to Situ Jin.
Situ Jin specially prepared a small chair for Linlin. There was a short table between the two of them with tea, snacks, and books on it.
Linlin walked over and sat on the small chair. She picked up the book that she had not finished and started reading again.
Situ Jin was bored and asked Linlin, “Why did your godmother look for Yueqin just now?”
Linlin looked up at him.
Situ Jin raised his hand and picked up a lychee. His fingers were long, thin, and white. If not for the faint capillaries on them, they would be the same color as the lychee.
“Godmother went to ask if anyone in your family is keeping a celebrity as a mistress.”
Situ Jin paused and raised his eyebrows. “Why is she asking this?”
“She wants to protect someone.”
Hearing that, Situ Jin continued to peel the lychees. After he was done, he didn’t eat them. Instead, he placed them on the plate beside him and took another one. He asked, “Protect who?”
“I don’t know.”
Linlin really did not know what Tang Li had been doing during this period of time.
Situ Jin did not ask further and continued peeling the lychees.
After peeling a small plate, he pushed the plate to Li. “Have some lychees.”
With that, he washed his hands with the basin of water beside him.
Linlin took a lychee and ate it. She nodded and praised, “It’s so sweet.”
“You can send some to your godmother.”
Li nodded and put down the book. She stood up and walked towards the herb room with the plate.
Situ Jin placed his hands behind his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in a daze.
The day ended quickly.
Qi Yihan did get off work early tonight. He came to pick Tang Li and Linlin up at around eight.
Tang Li still had some medicine to make, so Qi Yihan and Situ Jin sat in the living room, drinking tea and chatting.
Situ Jin said, “It’s been a long time since I last worked. I feel like my entire body is rusty.”
Qi Yihan, “Your health is more important than work.”
Situ Jin smiled and said, “You’re right, so I’m not worried about what those people have done to the company while I’m absent.”
Like Qi Yihan, he was considered a business genius, but he didn’t have Qi Yihan’s good body.
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “Recently, many people in the circle are talking about the Xuanyuan Tomb. What do you think?”
Qi Yihan only said, “It’s just an internal power struggle in the Xuanyuan family.”
These words made Situ Jin fall silent.
After a while, he sneered and said with an enlightened expression, “My father also mentioned this to me. He’s obviously a little tempted. Actually, I also think that it was the Xuanyuan family who spread the news. They’re tomb keepers, so there must be a reason they let out this piece of news. As expected, something is wrong.”
While the two men were talking here, Linlin walked up to Qi Yihan and said, “Godfather, I need to go to the bathroom, the kind that takes a long time.”
Qi Yihan immediately understood what she wanted to do and said, “Alright, don’t take too long. Try to come back early.”
Linlin nodded. “Alright.”
With that, she ran out.
Situ Jin asked Qi Yihan in surprise, “Are you ok with her going alone?”
Qi Yihan asked, “Is it very dangerous here?”
“That’s not what I mean.” Situ Jin smiled and said, “I just think that no matter where such a young child goes, she has to have the company of an adult.”
“Linlin doesn’t need it.”
Situ Jin did not understand what Qi Yihan meant, but he didn’t ask further. When he thought about how Tang Li suddenly started an entertainment company and how she used to have a celebrity, he had a feeling that this woman was up to no good. He asked, “Is your relationship with your wife alright?”
