Li Baolu wiped away her tears, and went out holding hands with Gu Jingyun, only Li Jun was standing outside.

Seeing that Li Baolu's eyes were red, Li Jun opened his mouth, but he still didn't ask anything, "Mother, the eldest sister and the third younger sister are going to cook, you can go back after eating here."

Li Baolu nodded slightly and asked, "What does Shunde mean?"

Li Jun was silent for a moment and said: "I don't know, but Dafang didn't inform me that he would accept our branch again."

"What did Dafang's third grandpa say?"

Li Jun said with indistinct expression: "Second sister, people are subject to change. He now has children and grandchildren. Even if he had a close relationship with his grandfather, how many layers have separated them? Even if the relationship has not faded away, There are not many left, and it is impossible for him to harm the interests of his descendants and offend other branches for our branch."

Li Jun lowered his eyes and said, "Actually, I want to be independent, and my father also has this idea."

Li Baolu was silent, Li Jun sighed slightly when he saw it, he knew that his cousin was definitely unwilling.

Since her grandmother gave her the medical books handed down from her family and the letters left by her grandfather, she must have also explained something to her. He knew the cousin's wish to let his grandfather return to the Shunde Li family, and he knew that most of this wish came from his grandfather or grandmother.

He naturally wanted to do his best to fulfill the will of his ancestors, but he went to Shunde three times in the past two years, and returned without success each time.

He was a little confused the first time, and didn't understand why Li Shi, who was enthusiastic at the beginning, changed his attitude after he arrived in Shunde, but after the second and third times, he gradually understood.

What's more, he has been studying with Li Mao in Tongxin Hall for the past two years, and learned a lot about Li Shi from him.

The return of their branch to the Li clan is not decided by one individual, but by the consent of the vast majority of the whole clan.

But in fact, their return will harm the interests of most people, especially the interests of the direct branch.

The situation of their family is different from that of the Qin family.

Even though Qin Xinfang was ransacked and exiled back then, the Runing Qin Clan did not dare to leave him, because he was the direct descendant, the only direct descendant.

The difference between the concubine and the concubine is so great, Qin Xinfang came back from redress, Gu Jingyun only went to Runing for a while, they had to obediently hand over the redeemed assets, and they only dared to count some management rights.

But the Li family is different. Is this branch of theirs a side branch, or a side branch that is separated from the direct branch by several layers? The most important thing is that the uncle who is closest to their blood has also given three clothes, which means that the blood relationship has faded. How many people stand on their side thinking of family affection.

Ever since he knew that Shunde sent someone to attend his cousin's wedding, he has been restless, and there are some things he can't tell his mother and sisters, let alone his father. When he saw Li Baolu, he immediately said: " Second sister, you don’t know, the Li family has practiced medicine for more than 20 generations, and almost every generation has someone as an imperial doctor in the palace. Although they are medical workers, their status in Shunde is not low. Moreover, more than half of Li’s Tongxin halls are open. The state of Chu even has contacts with medicinal materials merchants in several countries, and the pharmaceutical business is very large. But these businesses do not belong to the direct branch or a single person, but to the entire family."

Li Jundao: "The share is set by the first-generation ancestors to the descendants. After hundreds of years, including the direct branch, due to the reproduction of the offspring and the continuous division of the family, the share of each house has been decreasing, but There are more and more people holding shares, and the direct branch has been consciously buying shares because of its great power and money, so they have the most shares in their hands."

He lowered his voice and said: "I heard people say that before grandfather was exiled, the entire Li family, except for the direct branch, was the grandfather's branch with the highest share. Every generation of this branch produces outstanding talents. The great-great-grandfather, great-grandfather and grandfather all worked in the Imperial Hospital. No one dared to buy a share from our branch. But the grandfather was charged with certain crimes and his assets were confiscated. It is said that they paid a sum of money to the imperial court at that time, which was regarded as a redemption for the share of the Tongxintang that was copied by the grandfather."

When Qin Xinfang was rehabilitated, the late emperor returned all his confiscated assets to him, but Li Bo did not have this kind of treatment. He only restored his reputation and brought some rewards to his descendants. There is nowhere to go.

If the imperial court did not return it, the Li family also had a reason. They had already bought it from the imperial court and paid money.

"Actually, I didn't want those shares. Before I came to the capital, I could barely read some characters and understand some pharmacology. How could I hold these shares? It's a pity that no one in Shunde believes me." Li Jun said a little disappointed. : "I know your wish, and I also know that this is probably what grandpa and grandma meant, but it is really too difficult to go back."

"What Shunde wants is the plaque given by the late emperor, but they don't want to accept grandpa..." The seventeen-year-old boy clenched his fists and said, "I can't take back what belongs to grandpa, but I can't even find it." Some will be snatched by them, right?"

"Then what's their intention of sending someone to my wedding banquet this time?"

Li Jun shook his head, "I don't know, they came to the capital long ago, but they never came to the door. I did meet the second mistress in the medical clinic, but let alone talking, I couldn't even get close."

To them, the clansmen in Shunde are very proud, even a servant like Shaomao can face them with arrogance, let alone the clansmen?

If Li Baolu hadn't come, he might not have seen Mother Shao change her face.

Li Baolu frowned tightly. When it comes to family property interests, even the simplest things will become complicated. Li Baolu thinks that the Li family's affairs are even more difficult than the Qin family's aristocratic family.

Gu Jingyun squeezed her palm, looked at Li Jun and said, "Second Uncle wants to set up another ancestral hall because he wants to take money from the Li family, right? Use the shares that should belong to you in exchange for money."

Li Jun froze, and nodded in shame with a blushing face, "Yes, my father has this idea, but the money is quite a lot, and Shunde will not agree."

"I think this matter can be tried."

"Ah?" Li Jun stared at Gu Jingyun with wide eyes.

The corner of Gu Jingyun's mouth twitched and said: "What is Li's most worried about, you can do whatever you want. I think what the second uncle said is right, the big deal is to beat Dengwengu. Today is benevolent, and the court is ashamed of grandfather, so it won't be too much." Too harsh on my second uncle."

Li Jun hurriedly looked at Li Baolu.

Li Baolu whispered: "Will it be too much trouble?"

Gu Jingyun looked at Baolu with a smile, and was about to speak when a person jumped out of the corner and said, "Not big, not big, I think my niece and son-in-law are right, the emperor is kind, and the court has wronged your grandfather for more than ten years. Compensation is what we should have done.”

Li Baolu looked at the bright-eyed Li Hong who was full of fighting spirit and remained silent.

Gu Jingyun squeezed her palm and smiled meaningfully at her.

Li Jun was sweating profusely and stopped his father, "Father, don't mess around with me. Our branch has already been exiled from the clan. They have already prepared for many things, even if they sue, they won't win."

"That's not necessarily the case," Gu Jingyun said with a slight smile, "Shunde is a rich family, but you are not unknown people. Everyone knows the truth of what happened back then, and outsiders still firmly believe that grandfather is innocent. How could it be possible not to know? It’s just using the imperial court to make things worse and swallow up your family property. Although they have all the evidence, but the legal principles are nothing more than human feelings, the imperial court may not award compensation.”

"Yes, yes," Li Hong's eyes sparkled, and he said through gritted teeth, "They wanted to plot my family's property back then, so they took us out of the family."

"But wouldn't that offend my fellow clan?" Li Jun frowned.

Gu Jingyun squinted at him and asked, "Are you of the same clan now?"

Li Jun was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent.

"Of course we are not of the same clan," Li Hong shouted bouncingly: "We have been exiled from the clan long ago, the same clan as fart."

"Then what are you afraid of? You have experienced the worst situation. Is there anything worse in this world than being exiled to Qiongzhou?"

Li Hong's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and said: "No, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, I will go to court tomorrow."

He looked at Li Baolu, bit his lips and said, "Baolu, Second Uncle knows that I'm sorry for you, but this is a big deal for us, you have to help us. This is also your grandparents' wish, and their hard work must not be ruined." People are such a waste."

Gu Jingyun squeezed Li Baolu's hand to stop him from speaking, and said with a soft smile: "Second uncle, don't worry, even if you really want to beat Dengwengu, you have to choose a good day. But you are right, we are a family after all , as long as it is within legal principles, we will naturally help, not to mention grandparents are involved.”

Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned around with a smile: "It's still my niece and son-in-law who are reasonable and know how to protect the family, unlike my kid, who is as courageous as a mouse and always stands there talking. If he hadn't been Stop me, why haven't we made any progress after returning to Beijing for two years?"

Gu Jingyun smiled slightly, glanced at Erlin who had been standing in the yard feeding the horses, and pulled Li Baolu and Li Hong and his son into the front hall.

The couple stayed at Li's house for a long time, and they didn't get up to leave until the sun was about to set.

Li Baolu didn't expect that Gu Jingyun and Li Hong and Li Jun could chat so well, they talked almost all afternoon, and they talked about everything.

But she knew that Gu Jingyun was very arrogant in his bones, if he had no purpose, it would be impossible for him to be so easy-going, let alone have so much to say to Li Hong.

So as soon as she got in the car, she looked at him and said nothing.

Gu Jingyun nodded her nose and said with a smile: "Since you want to fulfill your grandfather's wish, then I will do it for you. Don't worry, the patriarch of the Li clan will come to you soon."

A glint flashed in Gu Jingyun's eyes, and he took Baolu's hand and squeezed her round fingers. The highest-ranking person Li Jun came into contact with during his trip to Shunde was only the person in power of the third branch of the direct branch. It's people in charge, how can they be such masters?

Since we want to talk, we should go to the patriarch of the Li clan.
