He wasn't as magnanimous as they said. When he found out that Wei Bowen had been taken away by the Qin family, he thought of a hundred ways to deal with them.
Whether it's open or covert, he'll target anyone who opposes him.
Later, it was Su Yatou's childbirth that delayed things; at that time, nothing was more important than his granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson.
The Qin family and Wei Bowen couldn't escape either, and when he was about to take action, Su Yatou said she would leave it to her.
He thought about it and agreed. If she wanted to play, so be it; otherwise, even ten Qin families would fall.
For him, reputation and the inability to confront someone head-on meant absolutely nothing.
However, seeing that Su Yatou had effortlessly schemed against everyone, and that the Qin family had even come to their door practically kneeling down to beg for forgiveness.
Marshal Li felt that it wasn't only interesting if there was fighting and killing; wasn't it better the way things were now?
They did the deed, yet they ended up being the victims.
It's incredibly satisfying to think that others suffer the injustice, yet they have to come to your door to apologize, and you have to vent your anger on them.
"Old Marshal, I know it's too late for us to say anything now, but we've already received our retribution."
“I also know that given the Li family’s position, there is very little we can do to help in the future, not to mention that you have already done our family a favor.”
“Two young friends saved my son’s life, but we…sigh, we owe you so much.”
"I only have one thing to say: from now on, whenever the Li family is in trouble, we will follow your lead no matter what."
"I know you don't need these, but this is the attitude of the Qin family." Qin's father, along with Qin Lie and everyone else, bowed deeply.
Just because the Li family never caused them any trouble from beginning to end, and because these things didn't make their Qin family a laughing stock, they will remember this for the rest of their lives.
"Alright, you can go back now. Let's just leave it at that. You didn't get anything out of it anyway."
“We’re all daughters, and my daughter is the same way. It’s funny, we’re all doing it for the same man.”
What else could Marshal Li say? He didn't take any action back then, and now the Qin family wouldn't dare to cause any more trouble. He only needed to say a few nice words to keep them firmly under his control.
"We are truly ashamed." Mr. Qin's eyes reddened instantly. Yes, his daughter's life was ruined.
The hatred in his heart is the same as that of the old marshal. Wasn't the old marshal looking for Wei Bowen because his daughter had been driven crazy by him?
He could now empathize with them, and he felt deeply ashamed of everyone in the Li family.
Qin Lie looked at the Li family members, especially Su Ti and Li Baichuan, who had been silent the whole time.
He knew they were also aggrieved; the uproar in Beijing a while ago was all caused by Wei Bowen.
I heard they even had a falling out with the old marshal over this. If it weren't for the Qin family getting involved, what would Wei Bowen be?
He kept expressing his gratitude, but what the Qin family did was simply making enemies of others.
He felt so ashamed that he didn't dare to look at them.
Su Ti and Li Baichuan remained silent. They shouldn't have spoken at this time. The Qin family would never have imagined that they were the ones who had tricked them.
Only when the Qin family members were practically kneeling down to apologize did the Li family soften their stance and tell them to go back and properly resolve the follow-up issues.
They said they wouldn't care, but that was just talk; they never intended to develop a close relationship with the Qin family.
Even knowing that from now on they would never go against them again, and knowing that they would follow the Li family's lead.
But they don't need loyalty gained in this way.
After the Qin family left, the old marshal smiled.
"Eldest son, go pour me a cup of tea. I don't know why, but I feel unusually relaxed today."
The old marshal smiled and smiled at Qi Feng over there.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Qi Feng wanted to laugh too; the sun was shining brightly today, and the evening breeze was so refreshing.
"Well done, Su girl." The old marshal felt that this girl surprised him all the time.
"Grandpa, the show isn't over yet. We need to suppress this matter as soon as possible. It's not good for our family to be in such a precarious position."
“Grandpa was very high-profile when he recognized us and brought us back, and he was even more high-profile when we made contributions recently.”
"Now everything, good or bad, has gone too far. We need to keep a low profile and make everyone feel that we are innocent from beginning to end."
"We are the victims. We need to extricate ourselves from this mess and not get involved. We can't let anyone with ulterior motives find a way to use us against us. We can then live our lives peacefully from now on."
Suti knew that going too far was counterproductive, and now that she had dealt with all the people who needed to be dealt with, they should keep a low profile.
"Yes, Su girl, you're right. Putting aside the organization, even I feel like I have too many family matters to attend to."
"If things continue like this, the higher-ups will have something to say. We really should keep a low profile and focus on developing our business quietly." The old marshal had made up his mind.
They discussed their next steps with Suti, the old man and the young man discussing together.
Li Baichuan and Qi Feng looked at each other with indulgent expressions; their family was united.
These are things they never dared to imagine before, but now they take them all for granted.
The next day, Marshal Li first submitted a self-criticism, feeling that he had not handled his family affairs well and was no longer competent for those positions, and therefore wanted to retire.
Those people wouldn't let him leave; they all knew that the Li family wasn't the instigator of this incident, and they were also victims.
The younger generation in the family had just made a contribution and were trying to keep a low profile when they were unexpectedly set up by someone.
They had investigated everything thoroughly and found that it was all a self-directed and self-acted performance by those three, a pipe dream.
The Qin family behind this has also been punished. They were criticized for taking in refugees and even trying to arrange jobs for them.
Fortunately, they hadn't finished their business yet, so the consequences weren't too serious.
According to their confessions, the Li family not only didn't participate in the whole thing, but they were also quite tolerant.
Not to mention someone like the old marshal, who could easily do whatever he wanted, but he won people over with virtue, and now he feels that his family affairs are affecting everyone.
Even if they were unreasonable, they wouldn't do such a thing, let alone the old marshal who was wholeheartedly devoted to the people.
He did nothing wrong, nor did the Li family. The fault lay with those scheming individuals.
If the old marshal were to retire because of such a person, how would they explain it to the people? That would truly chill the hearts of meritorious officials.
"Marshal Li, these matters have nothing to do with your family. We know what's going on here, and the people know it too."
"If you back down because of this, you'll be falling into the trap of a villain."
The people in several offices got anxious and hurriedly sent people to inform the people in the central government, as they had no right to discuss Marshal Li's affairs.
