The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

Two days later.

It was the wedding day of Li Youbin, the young master of the Li family.

The Li Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the sound of gongs and drums was deafening, with a sense of hustle and bustle everywhere.

The guests who received the invitations came in an endless stream, carrying gifts and entering the gate of Li's mansion.

Because the Li family has the backing of a powerful mountain, no one in Suzhou City dares not to give face to the Li family.

Even Lord Jia, who received the invitation, had to come in person.

What's more, I heard that the Governor-General of Jiangnan, Lord Shi, will come to Suzhou today to congratulate the Li family. Among the prominent and wealthy families in Suzhou city, who would dare not come?

They not only come to congratulate, but also come happily.

At this time, the side door behind Li's mansion was also knocked.

Soon someone came and opened the side door. It was Sanqiu, the kitchen helper in Li's kitchen.

Looking at the old man standing outside the door, and then at the two large baskets of fresh vegetables placed beside him, Sanqiu's face darkened and he said angrily, "Uncle Pei, didn't we agree yesterday that you should come earlier today to deliver the vegetables?"

"The kitchen is already very busy, just waiting for your dish to be served!"

"Yes, yes, it's my fault for being so slow."

Uncle Pei didn't dare to refute. He bowed his waist and said quickly: "I'm old and can't walk fast for a while. Please forgive me, Sanqiu. I'll go in with the vegetables now."

The vegetables grown by Mr. Pei are famous for their freshness and the price is not high.

Sanqiu wanted to deduct a few copper coins from the money, so he found Old Man Pei and asked him to send some food over.

When Uncle Pei didn't come over, the kitchen was urging people to come in. Sanqiu had been scolded several times and felt very aggrieved. Of course, he would not say anything to stop Uncle Pei from bringing the dishes in.

Sanqiu moved aside to make way, and kept urging, "Okay, okay, hurry up and send it in! Don't delay the serving!"

Now that so many distinguished guests have come to the Li Mansion, there must not be any mistakes at the banquet. Otherwise, the old lady will definitely not forgive them!

Old Man Pei nodded, quickly picked up two baskets of vegetables on a shoulder pole, walked quickly through the side door, and entered the Li Mansion.

Under Sanqiu's guidance, Uncle Pei followed him towards the big kitchen.

The big kitchen was already busy, and they wanted to split one person into three people. When they saw Sanqiu coming in, the pastry chef Wen started to scold: "Where have you been to be lazy again, you lazy boy?"

Sanqiu couldn't remember how many times he had been scolded. He quickly begged for mercy: "Brother Wen, stop scolding me. I went out to find someone to deliver the food. As soon as I found him, I rushed back immediately!"

"Is the food delivery guy here?"

Chef Chang, who was standing at the back of the kitchen, shouted, "Hurry up and wash all the vegetables. Bring them here when they are clean!"

Sanqiu: "Yes, yes, Brother Chang, just wait a little longer, it will be fine soon."

Chef Chang said in a rough, somewhat impatient voice, "Hurry up!"

The Li family is holding a wedding today, and almost all the wealthy families in Suzhou city have been invited to a grand banquet with more than a thousand tables. It is up to these few chefs to prepare it, which is simply exhausting for them.

Chef Chang's temper is becoming more and more irritable.

Sanqiu asked Uncle Pei to put two vegetable baskets that were almost as tall as a person on the ground.

Uncle Pei said, "I have already delivered the food. Then Sanqiu, I will leave first?"

Mr. Pei had already collected the money for the dishes yesterday, and now that the dishes were delivered, he wanted to leave the Li Mansion.

Little did he know that Sanqiu suddenly reached out his hand to stop Uncle Pei. Sanqiu said with a smile, "Uncle Pei, your vegetables have already been sold out, so why don't you stay here and wash all the vegetables?"

"If you hadn't come so late, Mr. Pei, I wouldn't have left the work in my hands unfinished just to wait for you at the side door..."

Mr. Pei: “…”

What Sanqiu said seems to make sense?

Mr. Pei looked a little hesitant.

Looking at the people busy in the kitchen, Mr. Pei nodded: "Okay."

Sanqiu smiled instantly: "Then I'll leave these two baskets of vegetables to you, Uncle Pei, to clean."

Mr. Pei responded: "Don't worry, I will wash it thoroughly."

Sanqiu nodded with satisfaction and turned to go into the stove at the innermost part of the kitchen.

Mr. Pei dragged two baskets of vegetables to a corner.

Mr. Pei squatted down, a sneer slowly appearing at the corner of his lips.

He rolled up his sleeves calmly, revealing a pair of white hands with well-defined joints. Veins were faintly visible on the back of his hands. These hands did not look like the hands of an old man who had been working in the fields all year round.

No one in the kitchen noticed this scene.

……

The front hall of the Li Mansion.

Old Madam Li sat in the main seat with a smile on her face.

Listening to the flattery of the female relatives, Old Madam Li felt somewhat disdainful. If it wasn't for giving honor to her beloved grandson, she wouldn't have held the wedding in such a grand manner and let these poor ladies enter the Li family's gate.

Suddenly, Butler Qi, who was guarding outside the gate, came hurriedly.

The discussions among the women suddenly quieted down.

Butler Qi walked to the side of Madam Li, his face full of excitement, and whispered: "Madam, the eldest lady is back!"

"Qiqi is back?"

Madam Li was surprised. Soon, she reacted and calmed down her excitement. She asked again, "Then, is that gentleman here too?"

Butler Qi nodded heavily and quickly replied, "Old Madam guessed correctly. That gentleman came back with the eldest girl and brought a generous gift. Please move to the door to greet that gentleman."

"Good good!"

Madam Li could no longer suppress her excitement. She stood up excitedly with her cane, her wrinkled face full of smiles: "The eldest girl has really never let Grandma down!"

Although the eldest girl had sent a message back earlier, saying that she would bring that adult back to Suzhou to congratulate Bin'er, the old lady felt uneasy as long as that adult did not come, fearing that something unexpected would happen.

You know, that adult is the Li family's great backer. If that adult hadn't backed them up, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren would have been torn to pieces by the wolves who were eyeing them covetously!

Now that the gentleman has come to the Li Mansion in person, it is enough to prove that the gentleman values ​​the Li family. Didn’t the gentleman Jia dare to touch her beloved grandson before?

Today she wants to see carefully whether Lord Jia dares to disrespect the Li family with that gentleman present!

Thinking of this, Madam Li snorted softly, then smiled and said to all the female relatives present: "My eldest daughter from the Li family and Lord Shi, the governor of Jiangnan, have arrived. Ladies, would you like to follow me to the main gate to welcome that lord into the mansion?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence in the front hall.

All the female relatives looked at Madam Li in shock.

They had been guessing what Madam Li had heard that made her so excited and unrestrained. It turned out that the Governor-General of Jiangnan, Lord Shi, had come to the Li Mansion!

This alone was enough to make the women present feel envious and jealous.

Most of the women present were wives of wealthy businessmen. They had some property at home but no power. They encountered many inconveniences when doing business outside. Their husbands had to bow to high officials and give away the money they had earned with great difficulty.

Not even a penny falls into their hands.

They are only living a glamorous life on the surface; behind the scenes they can only keep their sadness to themselves and cannot tell anyone else.

If they were allowed to choose, they would rather become the concubine of Lord Shi, the governor of Jiangnan. Not only would they have money and power, but they would also be able to protect their family...

Thinking of this, all the female relatives hated the eldest daughter of the Li family who acted flamboyantly and was loved by Lord Shi:

The eldest daughter of the Li family is just a concubine kept by Lord Shi, the governor of Jiangnan. With her seductive looks, she can make Lord Shi, the governor of Jiangnan, fall in love with her!

Why wasn't she the one who could seduce Mr. Shi, the Governor-General of Jiangnan?

The women in the family had a lot of thoughts in their minds. When Old Madam Li walked out, they all stood up and followed her silently.

Old Madam Li was responsible for entertaining the female members of the family, while the male guests were taken care of by Li Youbin, who had already returned from picking up the bride.

The pain in Li Youbin's hip has eased a lot. Now he can barely stand but cannot sit down.

Seeing Lord Jia coming upon invitation, Li Youbin's face suddenly darkened.

Lord Jia was invited here by his grandmother's invitation, and Li Youbin could not embarrass Lord Jia in public, so he could only suppress his displeasure.

His grandmother had told him before that after today, she would definitely make Lord Jia kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.

Then he would wait a little longer.

Sensing a pair of resentful gazes falling on him, Lord Jia immediately stopped talking with the person next to him. He raised his eyes, looking for the person who was staring at him.

But it turned out to be Li Youbin.

Lord Jia sneered in his heart, but a hypocritical smile appeared on his face. He raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured to Li Youbin, then opened his mouth and said, "Congratulations to Young Master Li for marrying a beautiful bride."

Li Youbin didn't give Lord Jia any face at all. He snorted coldly and looked away.

Lord Jia: “…”

The smile on Lord Jia's face gradually disappeared.

He is no longer afraid of the Li family now. He has the Fourth Prince backing him up. Even if Shi Weian is in charge of the entire Jiangnan, so what?

No matter how powerful Shi Weian is, he dare not touch the Fourth Prince!

If Shi Weian dares to touch the Fourth Prince, the person in the palace will not be a pushover. When the imperial edict arrives, even if Shi Weian is omnipotent in Jiangnan, he will have to kneel on the ground and receive the order!

When he thought of that situation, Lord Jia's mind couldn't help but wander. He wondered if the guard had conveyed his words to the Fourth Prince. When would he be able to meet the Fourth Prince and show his loyalty to him?

Lord Jia sighed softly.

The friend who had been talking to him earlier noticed that there seemed to be some unhappiness between Lord Jia and the young master of the Li family, so the friend quietly reminded Lord Jia: "Sir, you can't afford to offend the Li family nowadays."

Upon hearing this, Lord Jia sneered, "The Li family, a mere family, really thinks that they can be disrespectful to me within my jurisdiction just because they have a backer?"

That friend: “…”

If he remembered correctly, every time the young master of the Li family committed evil in the city and was reported to the government office by the victims, Lord Jia always stood on the side of the young master of the Li family?

Previously, the friend had heard that the young master of the Li family was caned in the government office. When he first heard it, he thought it was very strange and thought it was just a rumor. However, after some inquiries, he found out that it was true.

Although the reason was unknown, my friend still felt that the Li family could not be offended. Lord Jia might have made a mistake and offended the Li family for the sake of temporary prestige...

Seeing that Lord Jia was still angry, the friend frowned slightly and was about to speak up to persuade him when he suddenly heard a cry of surprise: "Sister and brother-in-law are really back!?"

"Master, I am not wrong."

The maid who came to report bowed and said seriously, "The eldest lady and Lord Shi are here. The old lady asked me to take the young master over to welcome Lord Shi into the mansion."

Mr. Shi is here! ?

The maid's voice was not small and all the guests around could hear it.

Lord Jia was struck by lightning and cold sweat broke out on his back.

I didn’t expect that the Li family was so influential that they could even invite Lord Shi, the governor of Jiangnan.

Now that the Fourth Prince is not here, if Lord Shi suddenly attacks him, how should he respond?

The friend coughed lightly and looked at Lord Jia meaningfully, as if to say: See, what I just said was right, wasn't it? The Li family really couldn't be offended.

Lord Jia didn't show it on his face, but he was a little flustered in his heart.

Lord Jia forced himself to stand still, not allowing himself to show the slightest fear, but he couldn't help but glance at Li Youbin.

At this time, Li Youbin had no intention of paying attention to Lord Jia. His backer had arrived, and everyone who had offended him would die!

"Hahaha--"

Li Youbin couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh.

The guests around looked at each other.

They were also somewhat curious about Mr. Shi.

They also wanted to go to the gate of the mansion to welcome Lord Shi. Maybe they could leave a deep impression on Lord Shi, which would be beneficial to their future prospects.

But since the young master of the Li family didn't say anything, they could only stay where they were, staring at Li Youbin with hope in their eyes.

As if he could guess what everyone was thinking, Li Youbin stopped laughing and glanced at everyone meaningfully, "Would you like to come with me?"

Before he finished speaking, someone echoed loudly: "Yes! Of course I am willing!"

"I do too!"

The others were not willing to be left behind and nodded in response.

The front yard for entertaining male guests was not far from the gate of the mansion, and almost all the male guests followed Li Youbin and went there together.

Many people knew how to flatter Li Youbin: "I didn't expect that Young Master Li was so resourceful that he could even invite Lord Shi, the governor of Jiangnan, to come and congratulate Young Master Li!"

"Young Master Li is really amazing!"

"That's right. He is Lord Shi, who is in charge of the entire Jiangnan region. His position is so high that I dare not even take a step closer to him, let alone have the honor of meeting Lord Shi. I didn't expect that today, I would be able to meet the almighty Lord Shi in Young Master Li's mansion!"

"That is that is!"

Listening to the flattering words coming from behind, Li Youbin felt very happy, but he pretended to be impatient and said, "You country bumpkins, I have to take action to show you what a high-ranking official is like!"
