Chapter 339: Breaking off Relationship

For a long while, she didn't know how to defend herself.

"I have already ordered the Third Brother to be confined to his room."

Concubine De raised her head suddenly, as if she wanted to get up, but she didn't dare to.

She pleaded with her beautiful eyes: "Your Majesty, Yu'er is kind-hearted. It was all my instigation."

"You can't, you can't do this to him. He can't sit still all the time. You're being cruel to the child by locking him up."

Bei Heng stared at her.

"......It's just that he won't leave Qianqiu Palace, and it's not like he's tied to the couch."

"After the ban is lifted, there is no need to go to the Yanjia Palace to pay respects to you."

"Before he gets married, you and your son should not meet each other."

Bei Heng felt that his punishment was too light.

If the third child hadn't been crying so hard that he looked like he was about to faint, he would not have shown mercy.

But in the eyes of Concubine De, it was a huge punishment.

There are still seven years before Bei Jingyu is crowned, so even if we are in a hurry to find him a princess, it can't be too early.

For her, separation from her family was extremely painful.

She begged, "Your Majesty, please show some mercy once, considering that I have followed you for so many years."

"Demotion and torture are fine, but separation of mother and child is so cruel, Your Majesty."

There are too many requests for mercy like this. Every time, these people don’t know how to stop before they do something wrong, and they have to wait until they are punished before they act pitifully.

Behen didn't buy it.

"It is because you have been with me for many years and raised the prince. Otherwise, I would have directly changed Yu'er's mother. Don't challenge my tolerance for you."

Concubine De returned in a daze.

The Zhang family was terrified when they received the news, so they vented their fear and anger on Li Zong.

They didn't care that he had only come up with a plan, and it was the Zhang family themselves who wanted to take the credit.

......

Li Shanglian was making a fuss in Wanyuan, threatening to break off the engagement.

Mrs. Li was originally planning to throw this ungrateful brother out, but when she heard about the breaking off of the engagement, she became interested.

"Let's go and see what he's up to."

Mrs. Li has lived a very comfortable life in recent years because of her daughter's hard work.

Li Shanglian was brought in. The graceful woman did not have a single strand of gray hair on her temples.

Li Shanglian called her "sister", but people who didn't know would think there was a generation gap between the two of them.

It was only normal for Madam Li to call him uncle.

His arrogant look was exactly like Li Zong's, with his nostrils raised to the sky.

There was a confident smile on his lips.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he said in a sinister tone: "Sister, Jiu'er has been an official for so many years, you are very proud, right?"

Madam Li: "Nonsense."

Li Shanglian is so funny. Shouldn't a normal person be humble?

His sister has been separated from him for more than ten years, so how come she is more like him in terms of self-confidence?

The words he had prepared were stuck in his mouth, and Li Shanglian spoke again with full confidence.

"Sister, you must have hated me for so many years. Let's end it today."

"Jiu'er recommended Zong'er to the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince did not appreciate him."

"But our Zong'er's intelligence and talent were discovered by the Third Prince. Oh, it's such a pity for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"From now on, our two families will have nothing to do with each other. I will not interfere with your and Jiu'er's wealth, and you will not interfere with our Zong'er's career path."

"No one should get involved with rich people."

Having said that, anyone with a discerning eye could see that what Li Shanglian meant was that his son was about to become rich, and now he was in a hurry to get rid of these poor relatives and prevent them from taking advantage of his son's benefits.

Madam Li didn't know where his confidence came from.

Even though the Third Prince valued Li Zong, her Jiu'er was already an important official in the court, ranked among dukes and marquises.

If it weren't for her own relationship with Jiu'er, which dragged down Jiu'er, Li Zongpa might not have had the qualifications to talk to Jiu'er for most of his life.

Madam Li couldn't help but remind him: "Li Zongdu has not yet entered the officialdom. Although I don't know whether what you said is true or not, even if he is appreciated by the prince, he will not be able to achieve anything in a short time."

Li Shanglian was completely brainwashed by his son, who believed that their father was just a minor official and was not a royal relative.

Li Zong told him that as long as he hooked up with the third prince, becoming an official would be as easy as drinking water.

So Li Shanglian immediately got angry: "Sister, even if we have to break up, you shouldn't curse Zong'er. What's your intention?"

Madam Li: “…”

Why remind this fool? He finally has the chance to voluntarily sever his ties with family.
