Chapter 246 Did she have to bow to Li Nanke?

Oilfield!

Help find the eldest prince!

Those few words struck Anping Hou like a heavy hammer, making his eardrums throb.

He stared at Li Nanke in disbelief.

That brat actually did so many things behind her back.

Damn it!

Li Nanke felt a chilling gaze fixed on him.

Following the gaze, I met Anping Monkey's cold eyes.

She blinked.

Marquis Anping had already withdrawn his gaze and was no longer looking at her.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Miss Li!"

Ding Wang closed the imperial edict and, with a smile, placed it into Li Nanke's hand.

Li Nanke was also shocked by this sudden imperial edict.

She paused for a moment, then quickly recovered, accepted the imperial edict with both hands, and said in a clear voice, "This humble woman thanks Your Majesty for your great favor."

Li Mu looked bewildered and pulled Ding Wang aside to ask, "Eunuch Ding, is this a mistake?"

What oil vein? What will help find the Crown Prince?

What does this have to do with my daughter, Kerr?

Ding Wang let out a soft "Ah."

"How could His Majesty be mistaken? If the young master still doesn't understand, he might as well ask his young lady."

He thought to himself that the young lady from the Li family was truly composed; she had accomplished so much without revealing a single thing to her parents.

Li Nanke initially felt it was a great pity that he didn't want to become Princess Zhaoning's study companion.

Unexpectedly, this young girl saved the pregnant Consort Shu and became Princess Zhaokang's study companion.

Now they've discovered a coal mine and even helped find the eldest prince.

This little girl is very lucky.

"His Majesty himself praised your daughter as a lucky star."

Li Mu was even more confused.

What exactly did his daughter do? How did she suddenly become a lucky charm?

Li Nanke gently tugged at him and whispered, "I'll explain to Father later."

She only told Shen Cong about the oil field, never expecting that Shen Cong would mention her in front of His Majesty.

Now she's even been given the title of county princess!

She gestured towards Li Mu with her lips, and Li Mu realized what she meant and reached into his sleeve.

Sigh!

So clean!

Forgot that he didn't have the habit of carrying money with him.

This is awkward!

Fortunately, Song Yi received the news and rushed over, handing Ding Wang a large red envelope.

Ding Wang left with a big smile on his face.

Marquis Anping and Li Yao looked at each other in bewilderment.

Unable to contain himself, Li Yao pressed, "Ke'er, what have you done?"

Why didn't you tell your family about such important matters as the oil mine and finding the eldest prince?

You're just a little kid, and you've already signed up? What if they get scammed?

The smile on Li Nanke's face faded slightly.

Before he could even speak, Li Mu was already annoyed.

"Is Second Brother criticizing my Ke'er? His Majesty's decree of bestowal has already been issued, who would lie to my Ke'er?"

"You? Yes, if Ke'er told you about this, you might take all the credit for it!"

Li Yao's face darkened.

"How could you wrong me like this, brother? Am I the kind of person who would seek credit for something?"

Besides, Ke'er is my own niece; I dote on her so much, how could I steal her credit?

Li Mu curled his lip.

"That's hard to say, after all, you can't see into someone's heart."

"you!"

Li Yao's face turned ashen.

"Alright! Stop arguing!"

Marquis Anping, who had been silent until now, suddenly roared in a low voice.

Li Yao reluctantly shut his mouth.

Marquis Anping turned to Qin Fei and explained, "Commander Qin, you saw it too. Even my eight-year-old granddaughter knows how to be loyal to the country and has made great contributions."

How could I possibly be associated with the rebels?

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu immediately retorted.

"Father, you are mistaken. Ke'er is Ke'er, and you are you."

What my father did has nothing to do with Ke'er, and of course, what my Ke'er did has nothing to do with my father either!

Marquis Anping was furious. He pointed at Li Mu and cursed, "You unfilial son! Are you going to just stand by and watch your father be arrested?"

Li Mu looked impatient.

"Commander Qin has made it very clear that he was there to cooperate with the investigation, not to be convicted."

Father, your hesitation and evasion make you seem somewhat guilty.

Marquis Anping's expression changed slightly.

Qin Fei cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Li Mu.

"The Crown Prince is truly wise and righteous, which is admirable."

Li Mu chuckled.

"No problem, no problem. If Commander Qin has nothing else to say, I won't see you off."

Qin Fei waved his hand.

"Guards, take him away."

Marquis Anping glared at Li Mu with eyes that seemed to want to devour him alive.

That unfilial brat, one day he will personally teach Li Mu a lesson!

Marquis Anping was taken away, and Li Yao chased after him in a panic.

Li Mule happily led Li Nanke with one hand and Song Yi with the other to the main courtyard.

"Mother, look! Our Ke'er has been granted the title of County Princess!"

His Majesty bestowed many gifts upon Ke'er and praised her as a little lucky star.

Li Mu waved the imperial edict in his hand, his excited voice echoing throughout the courtyard.

After reading the imperial edict, He Shi listened to Li Nanke's explanation of what had happened.

He pulled her into his arms and said, "I also think our Ke'er is a little lucky star."

Song Yi nodded in agreement.

In her heart, her own daughter is the cutest little lucky star!

As Ding Wang left the Marquis of Anping's residence, news of Li Nanke being appointed as the Lady of Fu'an County spread throughout Bianjing City.

Song Hui hadn't even had time to take off her imperial robes when she heard the news, and her long fingernails almost tore them to shreds.

"What did you say? What title was that brat Li Nanke given?"

The servant looked at her gloomy face, trembling as he whispered, "County... County Princess."

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Hui grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it on the ground.

Looking at the imperial robes she was wearing and the rewards laid out on the ground, she suddenly felt they weren't so appealing anymore.

His face was contorted with rage.

On what grounds?

She painstakingly carried the eldest prince out of the opera troupe, only to receive the title of a fourth-rank lady in the imperial decree.

Her husband, Zhao Hong, was originally a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Works, so she should have been granted the title of a fourth-rank imperial consort.

That brat Li Nanke became a county princess of the second rank at such a young age!

Doesn't that mean she'll have to bow not only to Song Yi, but also to Li Nanke?

Song Hui suddenly felt a lump of resentment stuck in her chest, and she couldn't exhale it.

Why?

Even though she has been reborn, she is still constantly suppressed by Song Yi and Li Nanke.

She was unwilling to accept it!

Li Nanke was naturally unaware that Song Hui was almost driven mad with anger, and even if she had known, she wouldn't have had the time to care.

Because of her being granted an official title, the Xie family of the Duke of Xin's mansion, the Wang family of the Right Chancellor, and several other acquaintances all came to offer their congratulations.

She and Song Yi spent two or three days entertaining guests.

Marquis Anping returned from the Imperial City Guard on the third day.

He had been inside for two days and two nights, and he looked much more haggard. His clothes were wrinkled, and there were dark shadows under his eyes.

It's obvious he didn't sleep well.

As soon as Marquis Anping returned to his residence, he ordered someone to summon Li Mu to his study.

Li Mu muttered to himself, "Why did the Imperial City Guard release him so quickly? It seems he has no connection with the remnants of Prince Chen's faction."

He looked very disappointed.

Li Nanke also felt regret.

“He summoned Father over, probably because of what happened a couple of days ago. He might make things difficult for Father. Why don’t I go to the study with Father?”

Li Mu waved his hand and refused.

"Don't worry, I won't be stupid enough to wait to be punished. Father knows what he's doing."

Li Mu went straight to the study, expecting to be punished upon entering, but what he heard upon entering was...
