"The universitys way is to make clear the virtues, to love the people, and to stop at what is good. Knowing when to stop, then there will be stability; with stability, then there will be calmness; with calmness, then there will be peace; with peace, then there will be deliberation; with deliberation, then there will be gain. Things have their beginnings and ends, affairs have their conclusions. Knowing what comes first and last, then one is close to the Way."
Li Wenshan was stunned, this is the book hes been studying, shes only five years old! Five years old! She cant even recognize characters yet! How could she recite all these? This is impossible! Its not possible!
"Why should I be afraid? Ive learned a lot because Ive lived once and studied once. Dont you think Im different from before?" Li Xia shook her sleeve, revealing the majestic aura of a queen who had dominated for over ten years, looking at Li Wenshan.
Li Wenshan stared blankly at his sister in his arms. Li Xia looked straight at him, and the sudden release of her majestic aura was like a monarch gazing down at the masses! He suddenly felt an urge to kneel down on the ground and shout "Long live!"
Li Wenshans Adams apple rolled up and down, he swallowed hard several times, opened his mouth but couldnt speak, swallowed again, coughed violently, before finally speaking out, "Sister is like this...like this...this matter must be told to Father..."
"No way!" Li Xia grabbed Li Wenshan, "Is Fifth Brother scared?" Li Wenshan nodded hastily with a hint of fear, his sister in front of him was too eerie and frightening!
"Is Fifth Brother thinking right now: I must have been possessed by some evil spirit?"
Li Wenshan hesitated for a moment and honestly nodded his head.
"I wasnt possessed by anything, I just lived through it once and came back to life, Im still Xia, your little sister!" Li Xia stood on tiptoes, her two chubby arms wrapped around Li Wenshans neck, speaking slowly and clearly into his ear.
"Brother Wu will definitely be able to tell, Im still me! Brother Wu will definitely believe me, but others... especially the adults, they think too much about everything. If you tell Father... can Father believe this? And Mother, theyll definitely think Ive been possessed by an evil spirit and will find someone to exorcise it from me. Ill definitely be tortured to death! Or burned alive."
These words reminded Li Wenshan of the terrifying experience he had last year when he was ill for half a month and didnt recover, and his elderly mother asked a shaman to exorcise him. He couldnt help but shudder several times, and hugged Li Xia tightly. "Xia, dont worry! Dont be afraid! Fifth brother wont let anyone torment you! But, Xia, whats wrong with you?" Li Wenshan looked at Li Xia, this was his sister, but...
"Brother Five, dont worry, Ive been back for several days already. Originally, I didnt want to tell anyone, but," Li Xia bit her lip, "our family is about to face a great disaster, and I couldnt just stand by and watch our whole family... die one by one again."
"What? Die once? What great calamity?" Li Wenshan sat down on the deck with a thud, and was startled again for one reason, another reason is that his legs were numb.
"Those two masters invited by Father are not good people. After arriving at Hengshan County, they deceived Father, accepted bribes, and wrongly judged a murder case. The Procuratorate investigated and found out, Father was arrested and our home was confiscated."
Li Wenshans eyes widened in shock, staring blankly at Li Xia, this time he was so frightened that he was stunned silly.
"Im going to tell Dad..." Li Wenshan stood up for a moment but didnt get up, his legs were too numb.
"Nothing has happened yet, what did you say to your father?" Li Xia grasped Li Wenshan tightly.
Li Wenshan scratched his head, "Right, not right! If it happened, then theres no need to say... We cant... Ah Xia, is this for real? You look like youve been through a lot, have you really come back from the dead? The things written in that book... are they true? Alright, tell me, did I pass the imperial exam? Which year did I pass it in? Was I first or second place? And what about Lan Ge? Did he pass or not? Hes smarter than me! Maybe he got the top spot!"
Li Wenshans long, unparalleled reflective arc finally rebounded, and he suddenly understood what Li Xia meant by "returning to life". His eyes sparkled with excitement, and he even forgot about the big move.
"After the house was looted, Sixth Brother fell ill and soon died. Father died before Sixth Brother, and Mother died after him." Li Xia fell silent for a moment, hugging Fifth Brother tightly, her whisper extremely low.
Li Wenshan was so frightened that his body hair stood on end, and he had goosebumps all over his body and face. This is not just a disaster, its a family-destroying catastrophe!
"What...what case is this?" Li Wenshans throat was tight and his voice was hoarse.
Li Xia leaned on Wu Ges shoulder and recounted the case, "...... These were all investigated by Wu Ge." Finally, Li Xia added that in her previous life, some things could be said, but most couldnt, even to Wu Ge. Moreover, she was unwilling to tell Wu Ge that he had later become a eunuch, this matter was too sad, so sad that she couldnt bear to mention it.
"Paulownia!" Li Wenshan gritted his teeth, "Father trusted him so much!"
"Shh!" Li Xia covered Li Wenshans mouth with a fat hand.
"What to do?" Li Wenshan was a hot-headed person, his anger and anxiety were palpable, the veins on his forehead appeared and disappeared.
"Eldest Brother, I vaguely recall that when we passed through the Two Zhe roads, Eldest Uncle sent someone over. Moreover, Eldest Uncle should have been promoted to be the Transportation Commissioner of Eastern Jiangnan by now."
"What? Really? The Transportation Commissioner of Jiangnan East Road? A first-rank official?"
"Hmm! Its just the time when I was full of energy and spirit. My uncle sent someone over... I should have sent someone over, but why did he send someone over, and what did they say? I dont remember anything at all!" Li Xia was filled with regret, she had been so muddle-headed back then, only knowing how to play, and the things she knew and remembered were really too few!
"Ke Da Bo... and our Bo Fu..." As soon as he thought of the relationship between his own family and the Bo Fu, Li Wen Shans rising hope was instantly shattered.
"No matter how bad our relationship with Eldest Uncle and the Eldest Branch is, Father is still the son of Yongning Bo and Eldest Uncles own younger brother! If anything happens to Father, Eldest Uncle will inevitably be implicated. Moreover, it was because of Father that Eldest Uncle lost his appointment as Transport Commissioner and was demoted to Shaannan."
Li Xia paused for a moment, then added: "Moreover, later when we returned to the Bo Mansion, although Eldest Uncle was implicated by Father, Eldest Aunt still took good care of us."
"Then shall we... ask Uncle for help?"
"Hmm!" Li Xia nodded heavily, "We must think carefully about how to ask for help so that we can get the help we need!"
"Big sister, its your... uh... never mind?" Li Wenshan asked Li Xia as he got up from the ground with one hand, while Li Xia lowered her eyelids and replied, "Shes dead."
Li Wenshans arm went limp and his buttocks lifted off the deck before heavily falling back onto it.
"Brother, we must rescue everyone! The two of us! You and me! We have to rescue everyone! And keep it a secret!" Li Xia hugged her big brothers neck, with a serious expression.
