Tang Dynasty: Starting at Xuanwu Gate, this prince is better off not being one.

Li Yu wasn't in the mood to care about any of that right now; he was calculating how long it would take Li Er to get here.

Instead of the expected gasps of surprise, everyone turned to look at Li Yu, only to find him with a grim expression. They were shocked and asked, "What happened? What went wrong?"

Li Yu shook his head, glanced at everyone, and after confirming that everyone present was on Li Er's side, slowly said, "Li Yuanji has arrived."

Upon hearing this news, everyone present was slightly taken aback, but then continued discussing the profits, and no one took the matter to heart.

Only Li Chengqian asked with some doubt, "Fourth Uncle's house is near the East Market, isn't it normal for him to come to the East Market?"

amount……

Li Yu was silent for a moment, then realized he hadn't explained clearly, so he explained again: "Li Yuanji has arrived, and he's heading this way."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent, and the conversation among the group abruptly stopped.

"They...they came for us?" Li Chengqian asked hesitantly.

Li Yu nodded, but at the same time he noticed the fleeting panic in Li Chengqian's eyes. He realized that this young man seemed to be somewhat afraid of Li Yuanji.

That doesn't make sense! Logically speaking, with such a powerful father and being the eldest son, why would he be afraid of his fourth uncle, who has the least power?

Pulling back Li Chengqian, who was about to hide, Li Yu asked the question that had been bothering him: "Your father is incredibly powerful, why are you afraid of him?"

"You don't understand!"

Shaking off the sleeve that Li Yu was holding, Li Chengqian said with a look of disgust, "This bastard didn't use many tricks against my father and the others, but he's used all sorts of methods against us younger generation. And those methods of his are simply disgusting..."

After listening to Li Chengqian's explanation for a long time, Li Yu finally understood.

This guy is clearly a superhuman!

In front of Li Tai, he skinned a yellow dog alive; in front of Li Chengqian, he gouged out the eyes of his maid; and he even dismembered his own foster mother, Chen!

Damn it, what a beast!

No wonder later generations often joked that on the night of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he was filled with remorse and pain because he had killed his elder brother with his own hands, but when he thought about how he had also killed that bastard Li Yuanji, his mood instantly improved.

Thinking this, Li Yu released Li Chengqian's hand, signaling him to hide quickly if he wanted to. After all, to find a way to deal with a psychopath, one had to be even more psychopathic than him.

Li Yu believed he was not a pervert, nor did he have the means to deal with perverts, so he felt he should hide away.

But before he could decide where to hide, the same waiter rushed in and reported to Li Yu, "Young Master, His Highness Prince Qi has come to visit..."

No sooner had the waiter finished speaking than Li Yuanji, dressed in a purple robe, strolled in leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, Li Yu knew he could no longer hide, so he could only step forward and greet him, saying, "This nephew greets Fourth Uncle. May I ask what brings you here, Fourth Uncle?"

"Oh, it's nothing. You go about your business. I heard you were selling wine, so I came to check it out."

Upon entering, Li Yuanji began looking around without any hesitation, rummaging through things, and giving extremely perfunctory answers to Li Yu's questions.

Damn! You think this place is your own home?

Li Yu suppressed his anger and smiled, saying, "Uncle, have you taken a fancy to the wine here? You wait here, I'll have the waiter bring a jar for you to taste."

Hearing Li Yu say this, Li Yuanji seemed somewhat dissatisfied and said, "One jar? How can that be enough? Remember to load a whole cart and send it to my residence when I go back later."

This is utterly shameless!

Li Yu felt his anger rising from the soles of his feet. After a long while, he managed to calm himself down and said, "Fourth Uncle is joking. I only had three hundred jars in total, and now I have less than ten left. If you like them, I will have someone send the rest to your residence."

Just when everyone thought that would be the end of it, Li Yuanji shook his head and said, "Just these few jars? No, that's not enough to drink."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this, you tell your fourth uncle the secret recipe for brewing wine, and I'll go back and brew a few jars to drink myself."

After saying that, he looked at Li Yu with great interest, trying to see the anger on his face.

But Li Yu was surprisingly calm at this moment. After realizing the other party's intention, he was no longer angry. Instead, he put on a fake smile and said, "That won't do. As you know, my father doesn't have any property. There are mostly women and children in the family. So, I rely on this to make a living."

With these words, Li Yu decisively rejected Li Yuanji's outrageous demands, mainly because he was too lazy to deal with this guy any longer.

"You know, I've finally come to visit you, and you, as a junior, have refused me time and time again. I don't know how your father raised you."

After he finished speaking, he continued to observe Li Yu's expression.

To his great disappointment, Li Yu still wore a clearly fake smile and asked him in return, "It is not important how my father raised me. As an elder, you have come uninvited. I have heard since I was a child that such behavior is called 'vulgar'."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yu saw Li Yuanji suddenly appear in front of him, and as he kept getting closer, his eyes were fixed on him.

Despite the oppressive aura emanating from Li Yuanji, Li Yu showed no fear, simply looking up to meet his gaze. He knew full well that this bastard wouldn't dare do anything to him for the time being. And if his calculations were correct, Li Er should have arrived by now.

The two stared at each other for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, then Li Yuanji suddenly threw his head back and laughed, "Hahaha, you little rascal, would your fourth uncle bully you? I was just testing your courage! Not bad! Not bad!"

Li Yuanji's sudden burst of laughter startled Li Yu, but recalling Li Chengqian's previous description of him, alarm bells rang in his mind.

Sure enough, Li Yuanji smiled for a moment, then lowered his head again to look at Li Yu with a malicious expression: "Nephew, have you been settling in well these past few days back at the manor?"

"Uncle, I am very comfortable staying at the Prince's residence," Li Yu replied, his eyes fixed on him.

"If that's the case, then why did I hear that your aunt, Liu, is very mean to you?" Li Yuanji asked, stroking his full beard.

"I don't know where Fourth Uncle heard this rumor, but you must have misheard it. Although Aunt Liu is like this, she is just a bit domineering, but she is not a bad person at heart."

"No! No! Let me tell you, the reason why women are so domineering is because men don't discipline them properly."

He rubbed his hands together and grinned lewdly, "How about this, you call your little girl here, and I'll take her back to help your father discipline her, okay?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Yu suddenly burst into laughter, then his face instantly darkened: "Fourth Uncle is joking. I'd like to ask, who do you think you are?"
