Chapter 38 Zhao Zhe is by her side, but she is completely indifferent
"I found false accounts. My aunt helped me. He has promised to return all the shops to me." Li Can stopped her jade chopsticks and lowered her long eyelashes: "But she doesn't seem to care too much. Over the years,
She has taken enough advantage."
"What are your plans?" Zhao Zhi asked.
"I'm going to tell her to spit out all her money." Li Can opened his black and white eyes wide, and there was anger on his face.
"Have you thought of a way?" Zhao Zhi said calmly.
Li Can put down the bowl and moved forward unconsciously: "Brother Zeyu, do you have any idea?"
Although she didn't want to reconcile with Zhao Ye, if there was a good way to deal with the He family, she was still willing to compromise first. She could bend and stretch. This was what Zhao Ye taught her.
"Think for yourself." Zhao Zhen turned over another page of the book.
Li Can's face dropped and he pushed the bowl forward.
"What if the other party is invulnerable?" Zhao Zhi asked calmly.
"We should start with the people around her." After Li Can said this, he thought for a long time before saying: "Brother Zeyu, do you think my father did something shady outside?"
Although the small courtyard where Yang Liu lives looks inconspicuous, it still costs a lot of money to buy in the imperial capital where land is at a premium.
With Li Cheng's lavish temperament, he would not be able to save that much money. Could it be that he accepted bribes?
But he is in charge of the river bank, who can give him money?
Zhao Ye never spoke again.
Li Can thought of who to ask. Shouldn't Yang Liu know everything about these things?
"Brother Zeyu, I'm going back." She thought and couldn't wait to go back to explore the matter.
"The dormitory hall has prepared the clothes for entering the palace on the last Si Festival. Let's go and try them on first." Zhao Ye gave the order.
"Okay." Li Can agreed, got up and went to the bedroom.
When she came back, she stayed outside the inner hall without any delay.
As soon as he saw her, he stepped forward and whispered: "Girl, King Qi is here."
"What is he here for?" Li Canfeng blinked and asked in confusion.
"I've brought lychees to the girl." Wu Zao whispered, "I'm talking to His Highness inside."
King Zhao Xun of Qi was the fifth son of the emperor. He lost his biological mother when he was three years old and has been raised by the queen since then.
Li Can has been growing up with Zhao Ge. Although he doesn't care about the affairs of the court, he still vaguely knows that King Qi has always coveted the position of prince.
She was brought up by Zhao Gao, so naturally she was devoted to Zhao Gao, not to mention that she secretly longed for Zhao Gao. Therefore, although King Qi often showed kindness to her, she avoided him.
"I'll take a look quietly." Li Can walked to the door and poked his little head to take a look.
Then she saw Zhao Ye standing in the corridor with his back to her, talking to King Qi.
In fact, Zhao Xun was born well. He had a slender figure, red lips and white teeth, slender eyebrows and eyes, and always had a warm smile. His words and deeds were extraordinary, and his behavior was elegant.
He caught a glimpse of the furry head at the door, the delicate light in his eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly: "Sixth brother, no one can figure out what my father is thinking right now.
If the father grants the sixth brother and Miss Zhou a marriage, will the sixth brother agree?"
Li Can originally wanted to take a look and avoid it, but when Zhao Xun asked this, she naturally couldn't move her feet. She retracted her little head but did not move her feet.
"Father has an edict, and no one dares to disobey it." Zhao Zhen's tone sounded calm.
Li Canfeng's eyes drooped slightly, and his heart tugged.
Zhao Xun smiled and said: "Then, sixth brother, have you ever thought about what Sister Can will do if you marry Miss Zhou?"
"Li Can is like a biological sister to me." Zhao Zong said in an indifferent tone: "Even if there is no one else, I will not marry her.
My daughter’s family has a special name, so it’s better for fifth brother not to say anything casually in the future.”
Li Can listened to his words, which were as clean and decisive as cutting through gold and jade. He felt his feet go weak and staggered involuntarily.
Fortunately, she had quick eyes and quick hands and was able to hold onto the door frame.
"Is Sister Can there?" Zhao Xun raised his voice, asked with a smile, and glanced at Zhao Hao meaningfully.
Zhao Ye looked back and saw that the sweet white skirt at the door was half exposed. He pursed his lips slightly, without any fluctuation on his face.
"It's me."
But in an instant, Li Can put away his sourness and gaffe, with a sweet smile on his face, walked into the inner hall, walked outside the corridor, and saluted Zhao Xun: "I have met His Highness King Qi."
No matter what happened between her and Zhao Xun, she still hoped that Zhao Xun would be fine. She had never expressed her feelings for Zhao Xun in the first place, and it was impossible for Zhao Xun to see the clues.
"You're welcome, Sister Can." King Qi took the jade bowl from his entourage and said, "I've heard that Sister Can likes to use lychees, so I'll give this to you."
"His Royal Highness King Xie Qi." Li Can took it with both hands and glanced at it. The number seemed to be the same as Zhao Ge's.
"You're welcome." Zhao Xun smiled and reached out to stroke her head.
Li Can took a step back in shock.
She glanced and saw that Zhao Zong was beside her, but he was completely indifferent, and her heart felt sour again.
Zhao Xun retracted his hand that was raised in the air without being embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "Sister Can is still as afraid of life as she was when she was a child.
Since the things have been delivered, I will keep them soon."
Li Can lowered his eyes and saluted: "Best farewell to His Highness King Qi."
"Sister Can, you are welcome. If you are free someday, you can come and sit in my house." Zhao Xun smiled and waved his hand.
As soon as Zhao Xun left, Li Can's little face suddenly collapsed, and she walked out.
"Where to go?" Zhao Zhi frowned.
"Go home." Li Can kept walking.
"Put down the bowl." Zhao Zhen ordered: "Come back tomorrow and bring back the cherries and candied dates."
"No need." Li Can turned around, lowered his eyes, and trembled with his long curled eyelashes. He leaned over and placed the jade bowl on the ground in the corridor: "I'll pay you back. Your Highness's things should be given to Miss Zhou.
I’ll have the candy balls delivered on time for my homework.”
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Zhao Ye looked at her leaving back, with a complicated expression in his dark eyes.
Li Can hid in the carriage and cried all the way. After all, his secret love for so many years was wrongly paid.
younger sister?
If we can't become husband and wife, why should we be sisters? It would be better to break them off.
There are not many days left before the Shangsi Festival. When she enters the palace, she will go to ask for His Majesty's grace. She must draw a clear line with Zhao Gong and never have any contact with him again!
When the carriage stopped, she wiped the tears from her face and ate the candy cake as if nothing had happened. Candy's man got off the carriage.
"Girl, are you okay..."
Tanggao was attentive and saw that her eyes were red and her tender little face was covered with red finger marks, obviously from wiping tears.
"It's okay." Li Can took the lead.
Tang Cake and Candy looked at each other, both of them were worried.
When the girl entered the inner hall, they did not follow her. They did not know what the girl said to His Highness.
But depending on the situation, I'm afraid there will be trouble again.
"Girl, is it His Highness..." Tang Cake dared to speak tentatively.
"Don't talk to me about him from now on. If anyone mentions a word, he will be sold immediately." Li Can's voice was sweet and sweet, but his tone was unquestionable.
"Yes." Tang Cake didn't dare to speak again.
"Go to the warehouse and get a box of deer antler slices to see the new aunt." Li Can paused and gave the order.
＊
Yang Liu was leaning on the couch, Yuanyuan was rubbing her legs at the side, and there were two maids guarding her side.
Now that she has entered the door, she is not as good as before. The number of maids in front of her has increased from one to ten, and she can't help but feel a little elated.
However, she was not stupid. She knew that there must be someone from the He family here. On the surface, she closed her eyes and fell asleep, but in fact, she was thinking about how to catch all the thieves.
Suddenly, someone announced that Li Can was coming. She quickly stood up and went out to greet her. She bowed and apologized: "I didn't know that Miss Seven was coming, but she didn't go far to greet her..."
"Since you have entered the door, you are no longer an outsider, so there is no need to be so polite." Li Can smiled slightly at Yang Liu.
She was very satisfied with Yang Liu's performance today. She looked back at the candy cake behind her.
Tang Cake immediately stepped forward and offered the delicate wooden box in his hands: "I heard that Aunt Yang is unwell, so these deer antler slices are our girl's wish."
"How embarrassing..." Yang Liu's eyes lit up.
I heard that deer antler is a good nourishing food. She has never seen it in her whole life. Is this seventh girl so generous?
"You're welcome." Li Can waved his hand.
"Girl, please come in and sit down." Yang Liu greeted her and entered the room, his face beaming with joy.
She knew that this courtyard was nothing in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, but to her, it was still extremely good.
"Everyone, please go down." Li Can waved his hand to dismiss the maids, and asked straight to the point: "Aunt Yang, let me ask you, my father is controlling floods in Wuzhou, but has he ever accepted a bribe?"
