The corners of Lu Mubai's mouth twitched and his eyes were full of embarrassment.
He still had to restrain himself and return to his usual gentlemanly demeanor. "It's okay. I have something else to do today. I'll leave first."
"I will escort you out of the house." Li Nanzhou hurried forward.
Shang Yuanshan then said, "King Kang, this is my fault. I used too much force."
Lu Mubai suppressed his anger. "It's not Lord Shang's fault."
"That's good, that's good." The two men saw Lu Mubai off.
Lin Siqing and He Yunyu, who arrived late, only saw King Kang's back.
He Yunyu's face was full of confusion: "Why did Prince Kang leave right after arriving?"
As they approached, they saw that the golden nanmu chair was broken into pieces. "Did a fight just happen?"
Lu Zizhuo stuck his little head out from behind the pillar. He had completely forgotten that his grandfather had taught him to talk less.
Lu Zizhuo smiled and said, "No, it's just that Prince Kang just sat on the chair and broke it, and then Lord Shang wanted to check his injury, but Prince Kang seemed a little shy and accidentally tore his clothes."
Lu Zongzheng was watching the fun outside, but he heard the voice sound familiar, and then he saw the little head on the other side of the pillar was his grandson. "Don't talk nonsense, you little brat."
Lu Zongzhen hurriedly ran forward and covered Lu Zizhuo's mouth. Lu Zongzhen was afraid that his grandson's words would reach King Kang's ears, which would make King Kang hate him.
Lu Zongzhen just saw that Prince Kang was shaking with anger. This was very different from the usually gentle Prince Kang.
Those who heard Lu Zizhuo's explanation burst into laughter again because of the sentence "King Kang was shy".
This was just a small episode in today's banquet and did not delay the holding of the full moon banquet.
Delicious dishes were served one by one, and Shang Yangyang ran to her seat and sat down.
He stared at the dishes on the table with shining eyes and saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth.
Just as she excitedly reached out her hand, two small bowls appeared in front of her.
Lin Siqing placed the bowl in front of Shang Yangyang: "Yangyang, those are hard to digest, so I'll cut these into small pieces for you."
Shang Yangyang knew that she couldn't eat those for the time being, so she could only nod obediently and picked up the small spoon to eat.
Shang Ningxia was surprised to see Shang Yangyang eating by himself. "Yangyang, you can eat by yourself now."
Lin Siqing tried to hold back her laughter. "Please ask her, the last thing she needs to worry about is making meals."
Shang Yangyang nodded vigorously while eating, indicating that she agreed with her mother.
He Yunyu was full of envy. "Yangyang is still the best. My two little ones are less enthusiastic about drinking milk than the other."
[Yangyang is still the best, Yangyang is very well behaved when eating.] Shang Yangyang boasted in her heart, making those who could hear her inner voice couldn't help but laugh.
Everyone had started eating. The Li family's housekeeper came into the hall with a bowl of soup, walked straight to Old Madam Li's table, and placed the soup on her table.
This made Shang Yangyang, who was concentrating on finishing her meal, stop what she was doing. [This housekeeper is so anxious that he is going to take action against Madam Li today.]
Those who can hear Shang Yangyang’s inner thoughts are curious about what this means?
At this point, several people at the banquet kept staring at the bowl of soup placed in front of Old Madam Li.
Lin Chuan said respectfully: "Madam, this is the medicinal soup that the kitchen just made for you. Drink it while it's hot."
[I drank the poison you gave me while it was still hot, how shameless!] Shang Yangyang stared at Lin Chuan angrily.
Madam Li smiled and said, "Okay."
Just as Madam Li was about to pick up the bowl to drink the soup, Shang Yangyang trotted over and held Madam Li's hand.
"Yangyang, why did you come here without eating?"
"Yaaaaah~~" Shang Yangyang pointed at the soup on the table.
Madam Li's eyes were full of doting. "Yangyang can't drink this. This is medicinal food and children can't drink it."
Shang Yangyang frowned. [How can we stop Madam Li from drinking this soup?]
Lin Chuan, who had not yet walked far, felt relieved after hearing this. He did not want his plan to be delayed by a baby.
When Madam Li wanted to drink the soup despite Shang Yangyang's dissuasion, Li Nanzhou stepped forward and picked up the bowl. "Mother, the soup is a little hot."
"Then wait until it cools down before drinking." After Madam Li finished speaking, she saw Li Nanzhou handing the bowl of soup to the servant behind her.
"This is Nanzhou?"
"Mom, eat first and drink the soup later."
Although Mrs. Li was puzzled, she didn't say anything else.
Today's full moon banquet went very smoothly, and Shang Yangyang had a lot of fun. When the full moon banquet was over, Shang Yangyang was already fast asleep in Shang Yanqing's arms.
Shang Yanqing stood up holding Shang Yangyang and watched Shen Mengli leave the Li residence. Shang Yuanshan walked up and patted Shang Yanqing on the shoulder. "Son, you still need to work hard."
"Dad, I know."
Shang Yuanshan also smiled and didn't say much. He turned and looked at Lin Siqing. "Siqing, take the children to Old Madam Li's place for a while. Minister Li and I have something to discuss."
Lin Siqing didn't say much. She nodded and took the children to Mrs. Li's yard.
Shang Yuanshan followed Li Nanzhou to the study.
As soon as they entered the study, Li Nanzhou asked the question in his mind. "Yuanshan, why did you ask me to stop my mother from drinking the medicinal soup at the full moon banquet?"
Shang Yuanshan was restricted from mentioning Lu Mubai, but he told the truth: "I found out that someone asked your housekeeper Lin to poison the old lady."
Li Nanzhou had already guessed it, but he was still shocked when he heard Shang Yuanshan's affirmative answer. "Poisoned my mother?"
Shang Yuanshan nodded affirmatively.
Li Nanzhou believed Shang Yuanshan, but he still couldn't understand why. "What did they gain by poisoning my mother?"
"Repay a favor with a favor."
These four simple words made Li Nanzhou realize the trap that was set for him. "Just for this, they were so cruel as to poison my mother." Li Nanzhou clenched his fists, veins popping out.
After a moment, Li Nanzhou calmed down: "Yuanshan, do you know who it is?"
"I don't know. I just noticed that Steward Lin was acting suspiciously today, so I paid more attention to him. Finally, I found out that Steward Lin was secretly meeting with someone."
"In my house?"
Shang Yuanshan nodded.
Li Nanzhou's face was full of coldness. He knew that the court of Xiling Kingdom was not as calm as it seemed on the surface, but he never expected that he would be plotted against.
It almost implicated my mother. She is old, and if she was poisoned, even if she was detoxified, her body would be damaged.
Li Nanzhou pondered for a moment and looked at Shang Yuanshan. "Yuanshan, do you have a plan?"
"Yes." Shang Yuanshan made a guess when he heard Shang Yangyang's thoughts and when they couldn't say the male protagonist's name.
"Yuanshan, tell me about your plan."
Shang Yuanshan expressed his thoughts.
Li Nanzhou looked worried after hearing this. "But this..."
