Chapter 324 Irony
"Master, you blame me?" Lady Anping burst into tears. "I am just a mother who wants to avenge her daughter. I can't accept the tragic death of Xueying. How can Xie Zhaolan live so well and become a princess? Lu Jing rose to the top and protected her. He was the one who killed my Xueying. They all deserve to die."
The two young masters of the Li family were terrified and dared not speak. Lady Anping cried uncomfortably, "Xueying died in vain, you all told me not to care about it, but how can I not care about it, she is my flesh and blood."
An Pingbo shook his head gently, "Aren't Jing'er and Xin'er your flesh and blood? You only care about the dead Xueying, what about them? What about their wives and children? Don't you care? What about the rise and fall of the Li family? Don't you care? The three of us, father and son, have all been stripped of our military power. It will be extremely difficult for us to return to the army together in the future. Lu Jing has long wanted to strip me of my military power, but you came to him in person, bringing disaster upon yourself!"
The second son said, "Father, mother has already realized her mistake. Please stop scolding her. The most important thing right now is to get mother out. The cell is cold and gloomy. Mother cannot stay here any longer."
Earl Anping knew that it was wishful thinking to save people. Once Lu Jing locked people up, it would not be easy to let them out. The fire burned down the farm. Su Qingwan reported to the authorities that six people had died. With a public trial, he could not escape the charges.
"I didn't want to implicate the Li family. When I led people to kill Su Qingwan that day, I wanted to die with her, but she tricked me. I was not as skilled as her, so I stayed alive just to see Jing'er and Xin'er."
"Mother, please stop talking nonsense. We will definitely find a way to rescue you. Father, please say something!" The second son of the Li family was very anxious. The more Anping Bo remained silent, the more frightened he became. He could not help but look at the eldest son of the Li family, "Brother, please say something too!"
The eldest son of the Li family also remained silent, half-kneeling from beginning to end, never standing up, with a sad expression on his face.
The second son of the Li family panicked a little, and looked at his father and eldest brother very nervously. A terrible thought flashed through his mind, and he felt a chill down his spine, and his voice trembled, "Father, eldest brother, please say something!"
The Earl of Anping and the eldest son fell into a long silence. The eldest son's tears kept falling, but he did not dare to look up at the Earl of Anping's wife.
He kowtowed heavily, "Mother, I am an unfilial son!"
Lady Anping looked at her eldest son, whom she had carried for ten months and raised for many years, and whom she was so proud of, and she was overwhelmed with grief. This was her own son, and now he was knelt down and begged her to die so as not to implicate him.
Hahahaha, how funny and ironic!
She looked up at Earl Anping, but Earl Anping couldn't bear to look into her eyes and looked away. Mrs. Anping closed her eyes in pain, tears streaming down her face.
This was her husband with whom she had slept for decades. He was a loving father. She gave birth to children for him, raised three children, and brought up several grandchildren. She made an indelible contribution to the prosperity of the Li family.
She held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that after the Earl of Anping and his sons returned to the capital, Lu Jing and Su Qingwan would at least restrain themselves and be more considerate.
Lu Jing couldn't cover everything in Dayuan, and the princess wouldn't allow them to be so presumptuous. After all, the Li family had some power, so she might be able to escape, but just be humiliated. At worst, she would not appear at other people's banquets or go to banquets in the palace in the future, and live a low-key life.
Unexpectedly, the ones who wanted her life were her husband and son.
