There seemed to be dark clouds covering the sky above Tiedanhou Mansion, making the entire Mansion breathless.
Li Shu had just recovered when he suddenly heard about Li Zhaoer and Xiao Yu. His face turned pale with anger, as if the remaining poison had not been cleared away.
"Did you hear it clearly? It's not Man'er, it's Zhao'er?"
The servant quickly said: "Master Hou, I heard you clearly, it is indeed the second girl."
Li Shu gritted his teeth so hard that he couldn't care about anything else, so he turned around and rode back home.
As soon as Li Shu entered, he was called to Songhe Hall. Mrs. Cui, with a warm handkerchief on her head, was lying on the Arhat couch with her eyes closed and meditating.
"Mom, what's wrong with you, but you're so angry?" Li Shu knew that Mrs. Cui hadn't slept, and she was already in a state of panic. Who could still sleep? Besides, he knew his mother, Mrs. Cui had to be strong all her life, and there was something wrong with her family.
How could she fall asleep after such a big thing?
Mrs. Cui pulled off the veil and threw it towards Li Shu's face, "You taught her a good daughter. She is an unworthy person. If I had known this, I should have thrown her into a bucket and drowned her."
.”
Li Shu lowered his head in embarrassment, "Mom, Zhao'er has always been very well-behaved and would never do such an outrageous thing. Is there any misunderstanding here?"
"Misunderstanding?" Ms. Cui sneered, "What kind of misunderstanding do you want?"
Li Shu didn't hear his own mother's strange voice at all, and explained seriously: "Could it be that he recognized the wrong person? Maybe it's not Zhao'er, but Man'er? Zhao'er has always been sensible and polite, how could he do this?
Such a thing? On the other hand, Man'er has always been lawless, so it's not unusual for him to do such a thing."
Mrs. Cui's eyes widened, and even Grandma Wang who was waiting on her side quickly lowered her head. The eldest girl was still here. The Marquis seemed not to have seen it at all, and said that the person who was having an affair with Xiao Yu was the eldest girl.
, this is embarrassing.
Yo, it was transferred to her? Her reaction was fast enough!
Maybe Li Maner had taken the blame for her good sister a lot in the past. Judging from Li Guo's familiar appearance, it was obvious that this was not the first time he had done this.
"Father is trying to burn bridges by crossing the river!" Li Man'er, who was hiding behind the screen, stopped pretending and decided to have a showdown with Li Shu.
When Li Shu saw Li Man'er suddenly walking out, even Yintang was dark.
"Why are you here?"
"If I weren't here, I wouldn't know that my good father is extremely partial. Everyone else's heart is on the left side. I'm afraid your heart is on Li Zhaoer! You can think of it and say it.
, why do you think, in your mind, I, Li Maner, can only take the blame for the Li family?"
Ms. Cui didn't say anything. It was indeed not the first time that this kind of thing had happened. She used to turn a blind eye and close one eye, leaving the house to Guo to take care of. Now think about it, this pair of Li Man
It's really unfair to my son.
"How dare you talk to your own father like this?"
Li Man'er smiled and said, "Father, you have exhausted your prestige. Just based on what you said just now, you are no longer worthy of the word father."
Li Shu was ashamed and annoyed, and cursed: "You are presumptuous." While speaking, he raised his hand and greeted Li Zhaoer in the face.
Li Shu was a martial arts practitioner. If he wanted to fight now, he would have to kill some of Li Man'er's teeth. Unfortunately, Li Man'er wouldn't let him do it. She grabbed Li Shu's arm and fingers hard
The contraction made Li Shu's bones crack.
This frightened Li Shu. He was a military commander and had great strength. Not everyone could grasp these hands.
Now, Li Man'er not only grabbed his arm, but also squeezed his bones until they hurt. This was weird. Who could have imagined that a girl could have such strength?
"Father, I can't help you if you want to favor the second sister. After all, my surname is Li, and I have always remembered what my grandmother said about our family and everything going well. But your actions today really chill me. In order to save Li Zhaoer, you
It can be considered that you have taken great pains to sacrifice the reputation of another daughter." Li Man'er took a deep breath and pretended to be sad: "The things in the house today are enough to make my grandmother sad, and my daughter does not want to argue with you at this juncture.
, even after the dust settles on this matter, the daughter will demand justice from her father."
After Li Man'er said that, he let go of Li Shu's hand, turned around and left the upper room.
As soon as she left, Ms. Cui finally got angry, "You bastard, get down on your knees."
Li Shu quickly knelt down and said, "Don't be angry, mother, it's your son's fault." It must be said that although Li Shu was not a good husband or a good father, he was definitely a filial son.
"Do you know that it was Man'er who saved me in the temple today?"
Li Shu looked confused, "My son doesn't know."
"I fainted, and it was you, my daughter, who pricked me with a needle."
Li Shu was very unconvinced and said: "For a girl from a boudoir, learning medical skills is like lowering her rank. How come I, the girl from Tiedan Hou Mansion, have become a medical girl?"
This bastard thing.
Mrs. Cui conveniently picked up a palace gauze fan on the couch and threw it at him, "I think you have read too many military books and you are dumbfounded. Man'er is right, you are simply following the past and being unreasonable."
"That evil girl, who gave her the courage to talk nonsense?" Li Shu thought. It seemed that he wanted to talk to Guo and ask her to pay more attention to Li Man'er's words and deeds.
"When Zhao'er and Xiao Yu were hugging each other, many pairs of eyes were watching! You can change people if you ask them to. Do you have a way to stop others from talking? When the time comes, the censor will read your book and say that you are doing whatever you want.
How should you make a statement if you are trying to change the situation? Even if you make trouble in front of the Holy One, you may not have anything to say."
Li Shu didn't care at all, "Those censors just have nothing to do. They are all idle."
Cui became even more angry and simply took the shoes on the couch and threw them at Li Shu.
"Mom, don't be angry. We still have to find a solution. This matter cannot be delayed forever. The longer it goes, the worse it will be for us."
Mrs. Cui was really tired and couldn't move anymore, so she immediately said: "There is no room for change in this matter. You can go to the palace to ask for the decree and ask the Holy Spirit for a marriage."
"What?" Li Shu was shocked, "But I never thought about marrying Zhaoer to Xiao Yu!"
"How long has it been? Is this something you haven't thought about? You asked for the imperial edict, and our family's reputation will be better. After all, it is the marriage granted by the Holy Emperor, which can stop Youyou's mouth. Otherwise, you will be waiting to be raped.
Let your colleagues laugh at you!"
Li Shu sat on the ground dejectedly.
"how so."
In Chaohui Courtyard, Li Zhaoer was holding Guo and crying, "Mom, what should I do? I don't want to marry Xiao Yu." The young master of the Xiao family is only superficially prosperous. In fact, his life is not easy. Marrying himself
