After Li Jiangzhu established his position as the clan leader, Li Xuanhuang began to go into seclusion continuously, striving to reach the Golden Core realm. With the examples of Li Chengtian and Li Chengping, Li Xuanhuang's path of seclusion became a little smoother.

After a period of trial and error, Li Jiangzhu has gradually adapted to the family's management model and is now married. His wife is a direct descendant of the Chu family. Although her appearance and talent are average, her status is not bad. This is also the guarantee for the alliance between the Li family and the Chu family.

Now, the girl named Chu Ziyuan gave birth to a baby for Li Jiangzhu, who was of the Mingzhao generation of the Li family according to seniority. After reading through all the books of sages, Li Jiangzhu finally decided on the character "xuan".

Chu Ziyuan carried Li Mingxuan, who was less than one year old, into Li Jiangzhu's study. This head of the family, who had once been a disciple of the academy, seemed to have developed a habit of reading. When he had free time on weekdays, he would read alone in the study, and everyone was tactful and would not disturb him while he was reading.

Chu Ziyuan's sudden intrusion made Li Jiangzhu frown slightly, obviously disturbing his interest in reading.

Fortunately, at this moment, Li Mingxuan in Chu Ziyuan's arms let out a few silly laughs at the right time, so Li Jiangzhu did not get angry.

"Didn't I tell you, don't disturb me while I'm reading unless it's something urgent?" Li Jiangzhu's voice was low, and one could vaguely hear the displeasure in it.

Li Jiangzhu stepped forward and took the adorable Li Mingxuan. It seemed that unlike other babies who were close to their mothers, Li Mingxuan liked to be close to Li Jiangzhu more.

Chu Ziyuan saw that Li Jiangzhu's frown had finally relaxed, and her tone of teasing Li Mingxuan had become much more intimate, so she spoke out the words that had been pent up in her heart: "Please, my husband, save the Chu family once and help us get through this difficult time."

Li Jiangzhu, who was originally smiling, suddenly turned gloomy and said in a cold voice: "Do you remember what I said to you on the day of our wedding?!"

There was even murderous intent in his eyes.

You know, the head of the Li family has rarely been so angry since he came to power. Even when he executed the family members who had adultery with outsiders, he just easily passed the sentence off with the word "kill". But now he is so furious as if his reverse scale has been touched.

Even Li Mingxuan in his arms started crying because of this.

"Of course I remember that women, wives and concubines are not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the family, and they are not allowed to use their status to seek benefits for their relatives." Chu Ziyuan knelt down immediately and repeated the three rules that Li Jiangzhu had set for them during their wedding night.

Both Li Chengtian and Li Xuanhuang of the Li family were trying their best to resist their fellow Taoists interfering in family affairs. Although Cai Yanzhi had intervened in political affairs countless times before, not all women had the vision, courage and long-term planning capabilities like Cai Yanzhi.

What's more, the Qin family was originally a marriage between two families, but now the situation of both parties, the Li family and the Qin family are naturally fragmented, not to mention the Chu family, which is just an ordinary relationship. Therefore, when Li Jiangzhu got married, she had already made it clear that this was a red line that could not be crossed.

"Since you still remember it, why do you say that?" Li Jiangzhu snorted coldly, the anger in his heart had not yet subsided.

Chu Ziyuan couldn't stop her tears from flowing, and she cried, "Now it's the day of life and death for the Chu family, I can only bear the resentment of my husband and come here to ask for help."

She lowered her head and continued, "Just before this, the ancestor used his lifespan as a price to calculate the family's future, and saw that the family would face a life-or-death crisis, and the only way out was in the south. For the Chu family, the Li family was in the south."

"So, please ask my husband to intercede with my grandfather, ancestors, etc. to help the children of the clan and continue the inheritance of our Chu family."

Chu Ziyuan was so excited that she couldn't help but kowtow to Li Jiangzhu.

The latter had a gloomy expression but said nothing.

After a long while, Li Jiangzhu finally said, "You should get up first. As for the rest, I will make the decision. If we do this, it will damage the reputation of our Li family."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir..."

Chu Ziyuan was overjoyed and thanked Li Jiangzhu repeatedly.

And yet the two of them are still husband and wife, such a huge difference in their postures is very strange.

Li Jiangzhu asked Chu Ziyuan to take Li Mingxuan away. He originally wanted to finish reading the book he had not finished before, but after being interrupted by Chu Ziyuan, he lost all interest in reading, and the affairs of the Chu family kept lingering in his mind.

Li Jiangzhu finally had to give up. After carefully sorting the books, he put them back on the bookshelf. Seeing that there was no trace of disorder or abruptness, he left the study with satisfaction and went straight to where Li Chengping was.

"Jiangzhu, why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Chengping had been free these days, so when Li Jiangzhu came, he entertained the latter.

The purple-gold mink Qingping left tactfully. As a symbol of the past relationship between Li Chengping and Xu Qingya, it had an extraordinary status within the Li family. However, it was very clear about some things and whether it should listen to them or not.

Like today, Li Jiangzhu came in a hurry, definitely to discuss something urgent. He left on his own, transformed into his original true form and squatted on the rocks beside the island, preventing anyone from approaching.

"Ziyuan came here today and said that she wanted to plead for the Chu family and asked my Li family to save the Chu family. After much thought, I had no choice but to come to the ancestor to seek a solution." Li Jiangzhu repeated to Li Chengping what Chu Ziyuan had said before.

The latter looked solemn and said, "You said this at the right time. My Li family saved the Chu family. Otherwise, after the Chu family was destroyed, my Li family in Lingnan would be unable to support itself."

Li Chengping had already stood up, and then continued to talk to Li Jiangzhu: "I will go and ask my aunt, you go back and count the trustworthy people, and be ready to go with me to check the situation. If necessary, take the people of the Chu family to move."

Li Chengping acted swiftly and decisively, and seemed to have made up his mind. This matter itself could not be delayed, and now he could only go and consult Cai Yanzhi and Li Yang first, even though the latter was now the head of the Li family.

However, Li Chengping and Li Xuanhuang still did not tell them about Li Yang's existence, so Li Chengping could only go and communicate with Li Yang under the pretext of looking for Cai Yanzhi.

Li Jiangzhu nodded and said, "Jiangzhu will go and count the number of people, and be ready to follow the arrangements of the ancestor at any time."

After the two parted, Li Chengping felt quiet, and then he called out to Li Yang in his heart.

"Your aunt and I have already returned. We already know what is going on. Don't worry, you can take people to pick her up. Your aunt is already on her way to the Chu family."
