"Master Hou." Li Shu glanced at Mr. Guo, who was too frightened to speak anymore and could only watch helplessly.
"You come with me."
Li Man'er immediately said: "Yes." Before she left, she did not forget to look back at Mr. Guo. This look seemed to be filled with endless pride and joy, which made Mr. Guo's liver tremble with anger.
Li Man'er followed Li Shu to his study.
Li Shu sat behind the desk and didn't speak for a long time. The waiter brought the dishes gently and then quietly retreated.
Li Maner took a sip of tea and waited quietly.
Finally, Li Shu asked: "Are everything you said true?"
Li Man'er put down the tea cup and said confidently: "Everyone in Princess Wuyou's mansion today can testify for my daughter that everything she said is true."
"Your sister has a lot of troubles. As a sister, you should be more tolerant of her."
Li Maner smiled, that smile was bright and dazzling.
"How outrageous, you just contradicted your mother, now you have to contradict your father too?"
"What did my father say? My mother is Zhao'er's mother, when did she become my mother? You said it's not a big deal that my sister is still young. Did my father forget that I am only one year older than her?"
Li Shu was stunned for a moment, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little.
"My father had the shame to listen to what my second sister did, but my daughter didn't have the shame to talk about it. You only told me to tolerate her, but when she led people to catch me having a private meeting with my nephew at the eldest princess's house, she never thought about it.
We are from the same house as me, and have the same surname as Li?" Li Man'er was extremely angry, she was not worthy of the original owner.
"She..." Li Shu didn't know what to say.
"It's just because she had a good mother, and my mother died early."
Speaking of Ning Ruying, Li Shu was inexplicably irritated, "Who in this family has ever treated you harshly? Are you not the eldest lady of the Hou family?"
"What do you think, father? Do you think I am not being treated harshly?"
"Even if your mother is unfair, you still have your grandmother."
Li Man'er sighed in disappointment, "You are my father. I can't even count on you, so why should I count on my grandmother? My father doesn't want me to pursue what happened today, so I won't pursue it. Please don't.
Saying high-sounding words while pretending to be fair makes me feel sick."
"Presumptuous." Li Shu threw the tea cup, "You unfilial daughter, everything you have now is given by the Li family. You are ungrateful and care about everything. How can you behave like this?"
"Property? Since my father is talking about propriety, then I have to ask, Madam Guo, she has occupied my mother's dowry shop for many years and stuffed all the income into her own pocket. What kind of propriety is this?"
"What?" Li Shu was shocked, "Say it again?"
Li Man'er glanced at him lightly, "Father doesn't know? My mother's dowry shop has been in the hands of my wife for many years. She got it from her daughter back then. My daughter thought that the money went to her father-in-law.
Or maybe it was sent to the palace to feed my aunt, thinking that the money would be spent on our Li family, so I kept tolerating it."
"That's nonsense. My father has a salary, my family has ancestral property, and your aunt has been favored by the Holy Spirit for many years. How can she take money from your mother's dowry?"
"Those shops are all in a very prosperous position. You can earn at least two thousand taels a year. Five shops are equivalent to ten thousand taels. It was five years ago that my mother left the shop. These fifty thousand taels
I don’t know where the money went." Li Maner added: "I heard that the Guo family changed to a three-bedroom mansion the year before last. Guo Lingyu is only a sixth-grade official, where did the money come from?"
Li Shu's face was so gloomy that he seemed to be able to drip water. If people knew that his current wife had swallowed his late wife's dowry, then Li Shu would not need to hang out in the officialdom, and just pack up and go home!
As long as a man has a bit of character, he will not touch a woman's dowry, not to mention that it is left to their daughters by their deceased wives.
"Why didn't you say it before?" Li Shu also had doubts in his heart, and he could see through Li Man'er's mind to a certain extent.
"I would like to say, but how many times can father see me throughout the year? I just said it, would you believe it? It's different now. After all, I saved you once, just for this, you can listen to me at least, right?
"?" The last sentence seemed to contain a little grievance, which made Li Shu feel uncomfortable.
Li Shu sighed, "Time flies so fast, your mother has been gone for more than ten years."
Hypocritical.
Li Maner said nothing and seemed a little sad.
"I will ask her about the shop."
Li Man'er shook his head, "My wife values profit, I'm afraid she won't hand it over easily."
"How dare she!" Li Shu cursed in a deep voice, "I am the head of the family."
"When can the father help his daughter get the shop back?"
"Why are you asking this? It's not too late anyway."
Li Man'er lowered his head to hide his smile, "It's not enough to just get the shop back, the money has to be sent back as well. It's the Ning family's shop, why should the Guo family get the money?"
It's okay that she didn't say this. When she said this, Li Shu became even more angry, "Are you stupid? If you regret it now, why did you hand over the shop in the first place?"
"You think I am happy? I was not yet twelve years old, how could I understand this?"
Li Shu was speechless, and then just said: "You go back, my father will make the decision for you. I will send you the money and shop no later than half a month."
Li Man'er didn't believe it at all. If Li Shu had this charm, he wouldn't have let Guo cheat him.
"Yes!" Li Man'er turned to leave, but suddenly stopped, turned around and asked Li Shu, "Father, what has been found out about your poisoning? It has been so long, the culprit should have been caught, right?"
Li Shu felt a little comforted. After all, she was his flesh and blood, and no matter how ignorant she was, he still missed her in his heart.
"It's better not to interfere with the affairs of the previous dynasty. The Holy One will make his own decision on this matter."
That means it hasn’t been found out yet!?
Li Maner smiled and said, "Father, I am a fan of the authorities, who do you think will benefit the most if something happens to you?"
Li Shu frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Did father think I was talking about the Xiao family?"
Could it be that you are not talking about the Xiao family in Mobei? Who could it be?
What’s the most beneficial?
Two dogs fight, play off.
If he and the Xiao family are like snipes and clams, then who is the fisherman?
A ray of light suddenly shot out from Li Shu's eyes, and the light shot towards Li Man'er like a flame that could burn people.
Li Man'er didn't care and just said: "Flowers are not as good as a hundred days, and people are not as beautiful as a hundred days. A father is always by your side. He should understand this truth better. If my daughter is right, there will be a Xiao family in the near future."
Someone comes to the capital to plead guilty, and it will be the time for the father to leave the capital. Maybe my aunt will regain her favor because of this incident. The most important thing is that you have to give your daughter the shop and the money before you leave."
