Shang Yangyang's face was full of anticipation, and she was very curious about what would happen next.
The door of the mansion opened and Shang Yuanshan strode out. "Master Li, oh no, look at my mouth, you have been demoted to a commoner by the emperor." Shang Yuanshan patted his forehead, then thought for a moment and said, "Li Hean, why are you crying in front of this mansion?"
Li Hean glared at Shang Yuanshan fiercely, and when he saw Duke Shang who came out afterwards, an even more intense hatred flashed in his eyes.
He hated why his daughter was the late emperor's most beloved concubine, but his grandson was executed by the late emperor in the fight for the throne.
That's all the fault of the Duke Shang in front of them. It was because he was against their Li family that this happened.
The current state of his Li family was all caused by Duke Shang and his family. The more Li Hean thought about it, the rage in his heart grew. He no longer thought about the truth behind his second son's death, and today he was determined to drag Duke Shang and his son into the water.
Li Hean controlled his emotions and slowly calmed down. He looked at Duke Shang with great sorrow. "Duke Shang, many people saw it yesterday. It was you who knocked my second son unconscious and took him away, right?"
Duke Shang nodded and said, "Yes, he wanted to disrupt the wedding of our Duke's Mansion and Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday. I had no choice but to resort to this last resort to knock Master Ling unconscious. After the wedding banquet, I also personally sent Master Ling back to the mansion. This is also what many people saw."
A commoner answered, "Yes, I saw Duke Shang personally escorting the second son of the Li family back to the Li Mansion yesterday."
Li Hean did not refute: "It is true that you, the Duke, sent my son back home yesterday. At that time, I all thought that the matter ended there, but at night..." As he spoke, Li Hean could not help but burst into tears. He cried so hard that his whole body trembled, and the people present couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the old man.
Duke Shang sighed, walked up and patted Li Hean on the back, which frightened Li Hean so much that he trembled all over.
Duke Shang had a puzzled look on his face: "Old Li, is there some misunderstanding between us? Why did you get so scared when I slapped you? I just wanted to comfort you."
Li Hean didn't expect that Duke Shang was so thick-skinned. Even in this situation, he could still maintain such a hypocritical face. According to his thinking, Duke Shang should be furious, but his current behavior made him panic for a moment.
Li Hean, the old man, recovered quickly. There was fear in his eyes: "Duke Shang, I'm afraid. You killed my son. I'm afraid that you will be so angry that you will kill me on the spot because I exposed you~"
Duke Shang frowned and looked at Li Hean: "Old Li, what are you talking about? I sent your second son back to your Li Mansion yesterday. How can you say that I killed him?"
"You still refuse to admit it even after all the Shang State affairs have been dealt with." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hean walked to the body of Li Shizhang, unbuttoned Li Shizhang's clothes, and looked at the people present. "Everyone, look, my son's body is covered with bruises. I also asked the doctor, and he was beaten before he died, which caused internal bleeding, and that's why he died."
After Li Hean finished speaking the prepared lines, he found that there was something wrong with the expressions of the people present. These people should be confused and puzzled. Then he explained things in detail, but why were there fear in the eyes of these people?
Li Hean found something wrong. He turned back stiffly to look at Li Shizhang's body. Then he heard Li Hean's voice piercing the sky: "Ah~~~~Aren't you...dead?"
Li Hean pointed with trembling fingers at Li Shizhang who sat up.
Duke Shang looked at Li Hean worriedly. "Old Li, I think the doctor you found is not good enough. Look at your son, isn't he fine?"
"How could this happen?" Li Hean's face was full of disbelief.
Li Shizhang frowned and looked at Li Hean, but if you look closely you can see that his eyes are a little empty, but this did not attract anyone's attention.
Li Shizhang walked up to Li Hean and roared, "Dad, you are so cruel. You are resentful that Duke Shang is better than you in every way, so you instigated me to cause a scene at the wedding banquet and designed to have me imprisoned by Duke Shang and his men.
After Shang Guogong sent me back to his mansion, he hired someone to beat me to death. If I hadn't been beaten into a state of suspended animation, your people would have stopped. Now I would have become a dead body. Dad, you have a cruel heart."
Shang Yangyang, who was in the crowd, covered her mouth and laughed secretly, and her inner voice was heard by Shang Guogong. [Hehe, the first half of this hypnosis was definitely designed by my grandfather himself, so narcissistic.]
Duke Shang looked at his beloved granddaughter who was giggling in the crowd. He could only say that his granddaughter knew him too well.
Li Hean looked at Li Shizhang in panic. He didn't know why Li Shizhang would make up these things, but these were enough to push their Li family into the abyss.
"You are not my Shizhang, you are pretending to be me, right?" Li Hean stepped forward and pulled Li Shizhang's face like a madman, but no matter how he pulled, it proved that this was the real Li Shizhang, not a pretender.
"Shi Zhang, what are you talking about? I'm your father, why are you slandering me like this?"
Li Shizhang snorted coldly: "What you said is correct. You are my biological father. If you didn't really do these things, why would I slander you?"
Li Hean looked at Li Shizhang in disbelief, he didn't know what went wrong or why it became like this, but he knew it was all done by Duke Shang and his men, he glared at Duke Shang fiercely.
Duke Shang: "Old Li, you are so cruel. You are jealous of me and even want to sacrifice your own son's life? Alas~"
Li Shizhang's eyes were filled with disappointment, but after staring at Li Hean for a while, he suddenly ran away, shouting as he ran: "Dad, why are you so cruel? Since you want my life, why not give it to you?"
Li Shizhang strode forward and Li Hean stood up in panic and chased after him.
Shang Guogong and his men were about to chase after him, and Shang Yangyang ran forward. "Grandfather, hold me."
"It's a bit bloody over there, okay?"
"I want to see." Shang Yangyang stared at Duke Shang pitifully. Finally, Duke Shang was defeated, and he picked up Shang Yangyang and ran away.
Along the way, Shang Guogong caught up with the old Li Hean. "Old Li, run faster."
Li Hean was so angry with Duke Shang that he almost suffocated, but he still chased after him with all his might.
When he stopped, Li Shizhang had already rushed to the city wall like a madman, avoiding the pursuit of the patrol soldiers. When he saw Li Hean, he shouted: "Dad, I will give my life back to you."
Li Shizhang jumped onto the city wall, then fell heavily to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.
Li Hean stumbled forward and saw Li Shizhang's body kneeling on the ground. "My son~"
Duke Shang in the crowd had now covered Shang Yangyang's eyes tightly to prevent her from seeing the bloody scene.
