Li Shuangwan thought about it and realized that the time was right. He nodded seriously, "It's true that there is no shortage of it, but, after all, this is..."

"Thank you, Sister Yan. I didn't expect you to be so generous. You immediately gave me the things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave you. You are worthy of being a princess. Someone, move the box to my sedan chair."

Li Shuangwan curled the corners of his mouth slightly, isn't that it?

The item was sold smoothly and effortlessly.

When the other people in the hall saw this scene, their eyes widened. Is this a robbery?

Even if you want to rob someone openly, you have to find a reason. She is too lazy to even find any reason at all.

Li Yuanming took a deep breath. Why was Li Shuangmiao so careless?

She is now the Crown Princess. If she behaves like this, won’t her entire second branch be looked down upon by her uncle’s family?

How on earth did her mother raise her to be like this?

Holding back his anger, he said, "Crown Princess, these things were given to the princess by the Emperor. How could you? You are now..."

Before Li Yuanming could finish his words, Li Shuangmiao interrupted him coldly: "Second brother, you also said that it was a reward from the emperor, but what Sister Yan gave me just now was a reward from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? How is the connection between the two?"

"Listen carefully, second brother, don't make trouble!"

"I...Crown Princess, you..." Li Yuanming couldn't find the words to speak.

"Okay, I'm tired too. Yi Qing, let's go back to the palace."

Li Shuangmiao led a group of people back to the East Palace in a grand manner.

Everyone was confused: ???

Why is Li Shuangmiao here?

Who stole this box of jewels?

Or are you here to embarrass yourself?

Mrs. Xu was so happy to see the first wife's family being humiliated that she almost wanted to applaud her daughter's wit. Finally, there was such a thing that made the first wife's family speechless.

Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not spare Miaomiao's life, when Miaomiao dies in childbirth, these things will be his daughter's relics.

At that time, it would not be excessive for her, as a mother, to take her daughter's belongings home.

She picked a few more items and asked her master to give them away. The master had been in the position of fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Works for too long and it was time to move up.

Back at Haitang Courtyard, Li Yuanqiao was so angry that he walked around in circles in the yard: "Shameless, shameless, too shameless! Today I have really opened my eyes. I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such a shameless person."

Li Shuangwan sat under the crabapple tree in the yard, drinking tea slowly, feeling very happy.

She used some clever tricks to let Li Shuangmiao snatch these things away.

When Zhu Anhe returned to Shengjing last time, he discovered that the people in the second house were shameless.

But I didn't expect that he could be so shameless.

He went up and grabbed Li Huaiying's ear and said, "Old Ying, take a good look at the second house, what kind of people are there! What's the difference between this and robbery! One or two of them are too shameless."

Li Huaiying looked at his own daughter, who was sipping tea leisurely.

"Yan Yan, are you so angry? It's not about these things, it's just that her behavior is too infuriating!"

"Dad, Mom, brother, why are you so angry? These things are not so easy to wear. Not to mention that Ling Heng will be furious if he finds out, and it will be impossible for him to return them to me."

"Everyone who followed her today will be punished. She, Li Shuangmiao, cannot withstand Ling Heng's wrath."

Li Huaiying walked up to his daughter in two or three steps and said, "So, Yanyan, you told us not to talk. We knew from the beginning that Li Shuangmiao was here to steal these things?"

Li Shuangwan took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, I know. When Eunuch Zhang delivered the things this morning, I knew that she would definitely come. But I didn't expect that she couldn't even wait for a day."

Perhaps, it is also possible that Li Shuangmiao was able to come so quickly because of Ling Heng's instructions.

"Then why did you give the things to others?" Even if he threw it away, it was better than letting Li Shuangmiao snatch it away.

Zhu Anhe sneered: "What can I do? Yanyan doesn't like the things the prince gave her. But the second house's behavior is too despicable. If she asks Yanyan nicely, can Yanyan not give it to her?"

Li Shuangwan's expression was suppressed, his face full of hatred, looking at his closest relatives in front of him, thinking of their tragic deaths in their previous lives.

"Father, mother, brother, these things were poisoned by Ling Heng. He wants to destroy my martial arts!"

When several people heard this, they gasped.

The Li family guarded the northwestern border for decades regardless of life and death, and in return they get treated like this by the Ling royal family?

How could Ling Heng do this? How could this be possible!

Li Huaiying clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the stone table.

Li Shuangwan looked at his bleeding hand and frowned in pain. He quickly took a handkerchief to clean his wound and said, "Dad, why are you being so hard on yourself?"

Zhu Anhe hurriedly took a handkerchief to bandage Li Huaiying.

The tough guy was shaking with anger.

It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!

First, on the wedding night, he used a substitute to humiliate Wanwan and the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion.

Later, he used such despicable means to try to destroy Yanyan!

What would have happened if his daughter had not discovered it early, and if the substitute had not been the Ninth Prince of Daliang? During this period of time, he never dared to think too deeply about it.

Li Yuanqiao's eyes were also red. They thought that this time they had driven Northern Qi back to the grassland, forced them to sign an armistice agreement, and made great military achievements. The Ling royal family would remember their kindness.

Not to mention how many injuries he and his father had suffered over the years, and how many soldiers of the Li family army had died.

Even my grandfather was buried in a foreign land.

They didn't think about asking for any reward. It was enough for them to live in peace and well as a family.

But, Ling Heng and the royal family are so heartless and disloyal!

Li Shuangwan saw that the fire was almost ready, and there were soldiers brought by his father guarding outside, so no one could come in.

She asked everyone to sit around the stone table and spoke softly, "Dad, brother, have you ever thought about handing over your military power?"

Li Huaiying's body shook violently.

Several people looked at each other in disbelief.

"Yan Yan, why do you say that?"

"Dad, there is a saying: When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked; when the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; when the enemy country is defeated, the counselors die."

As soon as these words were spoken, the courtyard became completely silent and one could even hear the sound of falling leaves.

Yanyan was right. Northern Jin and Northern Qi signed a 30-year ceasefire agreement.

Isn't it the time for these border guards to "have their enemy defeated and their counselors dead"?

Even though they are loyal to the core, in the eyes of the Ling family's royal family, they are considered to be too successful to be a threat to the ruler!

Zhu Anhe trembled slightly: "Lao Ying, what Yanyan said makes sense."

Li Huaiying looked at his wife and couldn't say a word.

His wife had lived with him in the northwest for more than ten years, and had never had a single comfortable day.

Every time she fought with Northern Qi, she was always worried, fearing that one day she would die on the battlefield and return with her body wrapped in its hide.
