Chapter 458

"Bah! A group of old things that play with the wind!"

After saying goodbye in the palace, Li Ji got into the carriage and cursed secretly.

Firstly, he did not expect that his son would commit so many crimes in private, and secondly, he did not expect that the person who was in charge of His Highness the Crown Prince with him in the past turned his face and betrayed himself.

Hurrying back to the mansion, the anger on his face didn't dissipate in the slightest. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw his wife, Mrs. Cao, and Li Chongyi waiting in front of the mansion.

"Rebel!"

"Disgraceful thing!"

Li Chongyi was beaten inexplicably. He covered the five finger prints on his face and was stunned on the spot. Looking at his father who hurried into the mansion angrily, he burst into tears.

Mrs. Cao was a little puzzled for a moment, gently rubbed Li Chongyi, asked the maid beside him to apply a few pieces of herbal medicine for reducing swelling and pain, then turned around and took lotus steps to chase after the figure who had already walked in the corridor.

"What's the matter? Kankan went to the court, why are you so angry?"

"The child is also obediently waiting for you to come back, why do you just raise your hand and hit him?"

In the past, he doted on the only precious heir in this mansion, but now he was taught a lesson by Li Xian, but it was a blessing in disguise. Not to mention the bullying tempers before, and no longer wielding guns and clubs all day to provoke the whole mansion to be beaten up. Cao is quite satisfied with the current child.

It's just that this sudden slap in the face was not only puzzled, but also blamed.

Cao's arm was pulled from behind, and Li Ji had no choice but to slow down, but his face didn't improve much.

"Don't mention that little bastard to me."

"If it weren't for the sins he committed, how could I, Li Ji, be the one to do such a thankless matter of putting a hot face on a cold ass?"

"Shame on you! You can almost throw away all the ancestors of the Li family."

Walking up the corridor side by side, Cao Shi was even more confused when he saw the ashen-colored figure beside him.

"Chongyi... what's wrong? Now that he doesn't bully the weak, and doesn't use guns and clubs anymore, how much trouble will it save us?"

"If you really want to say that, I don't want to."

snort!
Glancing sideways at the figure beside him, Li Ji let out a cold snort from his nasal cavity.

"Don't want to?"

"Look at the good son you taught in the mansion!"

"Trouble in the military camp, break the legs of soldiers, and remove the military registration. Make trouble in the long street, harass good families, I don't know where to put my old face in front of those colleagues today!"

Seeing the silent figure beside him, Li Ji stepped into the door of the north room, sat down angrily at the desk, propped his hands on his knees and remained silent.

Cao Shi put on a lovely and pitiful expression, squatted beside Li Ji and kneaded his thighs and arms, comforting him wholeheartedly.

"Okay, okay, isn't Chongyi changing?"

"It was all a disaster caused by youth and ignorance before. Why do you, an elder, hold on to the past?"

Seeing the servant girl coming in with tea in the words, she got up and poured a cup of hot tea for Li Ji, and handed it with a touch of flattery.

"Come, come, have a cup of tea to calm down."

Seeing Li Ji holding the teacup, his expression softened a little, just now he stood behind him and kneaded his shoulder to soothe, leaned close to Li Ji's ear, and asked tentatively.

"By the way, what happened to the thankless things my husband said earlier...?"

Kankan's mood sank to the bottom of the valley again following these words, and he squatted the teacup on the table, splashing a lot of tea and spilling it out.

"The plague in the western frontier is rampant and is spreading to the surrounding states and counties. The genius doctor Sun Simiao rushed to it, but has not yet developed an effective medicine stone."

"Those wicked old things in the court pointed their finger at the old man, and asked the old man to bring an apology and go find that kid Li Xian."

"Old man, a minister of the Ministry of War in the Tang and Tang Dynasties, actually wanted to bow his head to a mere commoner to make amends, you say! Isn't this a disaster caused by that rebellious son?"

oops~
Like a cat or dog being stepped on by its tail, Mrs. Cao jumped around the seat, ran to Li Ji, bent down and looked at Li Ji's cloudy face in disbelief.

"Isn't this embarrassing our Li family and our ancestors?"

"Everyone is the owner of the demolition across the river. Didn't we agree to release this kid from his position in Datang for His Royal Highness together?"

"Why are we all trapped in injustice now?"

Speaking of this, Cao's face was filled with grievance and worry, and he approached Li Ji in front of him to ask.

"Otherwise, let's talk to His Royal Highness? Let him come forward..."

Li Ji, who was already annoyed by this matter, heard that the woman wiped tears in front of his eyes again, and said whimsical words again, and felt an inexplicable annoyance in his heart.

Waving the figure away, Li Ji frowned.

"What do you know, a woman from a Taoist family! What kind of place do you think this East Palace is to sue?"

"At this time, those literati guests are just adding fuel to the flames, watching the fire from the other side. If it really comes to the point of going to the East Palace to reason, all our previous efforts would have been in vain."

I poured half a cup of tea on the table, and the coldness lingered on the tip of my tongue, as if Li Ji was cooling his heart at this moment.

The current king is still alive, but in private, for the sake of power and wealth, getting involved with the crown prince is a big taboo.

I have worked hard for several years, but now I am pushed to the forefront by the guests and courtiers of the Prince's Mansion, I am really disappointed.

Throwing away the cup in his hand and throwing it on the table, Li Ji stood up slowly.

"Don't stand there and wipe your tears! The old man is still alive, so there is no need for you to cry in advance."

"Go and ask the servants and guards to prepare the horses for the trip, bring more dry food, and inquire along the way. If you find out first, it will be a great contribution to the East Palace or the Holy Majesty."

The woman knew that Li Ji was in a bad mood at the moment, so she didn't dare to disobey her, so she saluted slightly and wanted to go out.

He had just walked a few steps, but was stopped by Li Ji, and his tone was much better than before.

"Explain to that rebellious son that the father will take him to admit his mistake in a different day!"

"Let him eat better in the past two days, this time the old man will inevitably give him a whip."

The woman who was about to step out of the door suffocated slightly, and when she turned her head, she was already in tears.

"Husband, this is... are you really going to beat Chongyi in front of Li Xian?"

"I... I don't want to!"

"If you fight, you will bring me to suffer together!"

Between words, he didn't go out, just sat in the middle of the threshold, covered his face and began to cry.

"You...how can you be so cruel!"

"Chongyi has just recovered from the shock for a few days, and you want to treat him like this again?"

"If there are three ups and two downs, what will happen to the future of the Li family in the rest of our lives?"

Call ~
A scorching breath came out of his nostrils, and Li Ji looked at Mrs. Cao feeling helpless and tired.

Even if he made a mistake, it was indeed in the past, not to mention that there is only such an eldest son in the mansion, how could he do it so easily.

Li Ji stomped his foot hard, and Li Ji frowned even deeper.

"If you don't want him to suffer, you shouldn't sit here and become a hindrance on the way forward."

"How many eyes in the court are staring at our Li manor right now? Can we do it without going this trip, and not blaming this rebellious son?"

There was a pause in the words, and Li Ji's heart softened a little. Hearing the woman's whining, his words calmed down.

"If you are more spiritual, prepare a few more thick leather pads."

"Even if you hit it in the end, you can still take some strength off."
