BXBX NOVEL Chapter 236 - 236 Reuniting With Family
With a shout, a figure immediately stopped the guard leader.
The Li family’s patriarch pulled Tong Sheng back to his side and said to the guard leader, “How can you treat someone from the Li family like this?!”
The guard leader didn’t look surprised at all. He only said to the Li family’s patriarch, “Since you’re fine, please follow me into the palace!”
Tong Sheng grabbed the Li family’s patriarch’s hand tightly and refused to let go. He said to the patriarch firmly, “I want to go too!”
The Li Clan’s Patriarch lowered his head to look at Tong Sheng, then sighed and instructed the white-haired old man beside him, “Get them to prepare a carriage.”
The guard leader didn’t stop the Li family’s patriarch from making the arrangements. Instead, he waited for the coachman to set up the carriage. He watched as the Li family’s patriarch led Tong Sheng into the carriage before instructing the guards to follow behind the carriage.
The moment Kong Rui saw Tong Sheng enter the carriage, she suddenly wondered if her previous arrangements were right or wrong.
However, now wasn’t the time for her to stop him. She hoped that everything would go smoothly for Tong Sheng!
After the guards left, the white-haired old man looked in the direction where everyone had disappeared and sighed before instructing the servant to close the door.
After Kong Rui walked out of the alley, she saw people gathering at the Li family’s entrance.
Someone pointed in the direction of the Li family’s home and discussed something. Kong Rui stood at the side as she listened to the discussion quietly.
“Have you heard? The queen seems to have officially broken off ties with the Li family!”
“I heard that the Li family’s patriarch and a group of elders were summoned to the palace yesterday, but only the patriarch returned with that little boy!”
“Where are those elders? Are they being confined by the queen?”
“Who knows?! I just heard that the Li family’s patriarch fell ill after returning.”
“From the way those guards treated the Li family’s patriarch just now, it seems that the queen is planning to abandon her family!”
“The Li family was the one who abandoned the queen first!”
“That’s right! During the spirit beast competition that day, the Li family’s attitude was too obvious. They clearly didn’t give the queen and the princess any respect at all!”
“Sigh, I haven’t seen the princess these days. I wonder if she…”
“Shh! Don’t discuss the princess! I heard that the princess has already…”
“Stop talking! If someone hears us later, they might capture us!”
Kong Rui leaned forward and said to the crowd in a soft voice, “I wonder who that little boy is?”
Someone immediately glanced at her and lowered his voice as he said, “I heard that the Li family’s patriarch has already included the boy in the Li family’s genealogy. I heard that he has already acknowledged him as the second elder’s illegitimate son and let him return to the family!”
“Really? The second elder actually had a son?” Another person said in surprise, “I thought that the Li family had yet to give birth to a son. Li Ling suddenly disappeared and Li Han looked sickly, so I thought that the Li family was finished!”
“Now that the second elder’s son has been found, the Li family’s patriarch has probably placed all his hopes on this child!”
“Of course! Didn’t you see the Patriarch’s attitude towards that child?!”
“In the future, the Li family’s revival will probably depend on that child!”
Hearing everyone’s discussion, Kong Rui nodded silently and retreated from the crowd.
Since they thought that Tong Sheng had “reunited with his family”, her plan had progressed to the next step.
However, she didn’t know if Tong Sheng could complete the mission she had given him!
However, since the Li family’s patriarch thought highly of Tong Sheng, it seemed that her plan to obtain the Li family’s secret manual was just around the corner!
Kong Rui was in a good mood as she walked in the direction of Tianxiang Restaurant.
