Chapter 146
Zheng Qiaoshu's words made Li Tianyou frown and feel very displeased. He was blaming him for coming to ask for an explanation.
The old princess was also somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this, as it was her son who had made the mistake.
However, Zheng Qiaoshu's words are not wrong either. Li Tianyou is fine, isn't he?
Besides, his own son had already knelt before him and apologized; he should be content.
Xu Heming frowned. Although Zheng Qiaoshu was speaking on his behalf, he still felt uncomfortable listening to her.
"Heh, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have accepted Prince An's fake wine, and I shouldn't be standing here today, demanding justice!" Li Tianyou wasn't the type to suffer injustice all the time, and he looked at Zheng Qiaoshu with a mocking expression.
He thought to himself, "When did this Prince An's mansion get such a woman? If my daughter marries into the family, there will be no peace with such a troublemaker around."
It seems he still needs to investigate further.
I must never let my daughter suffer even the slightest injustice again.
"Lord Li, please don't be angry. That's not what Qiao Shu meant. He Ming was the one who made the mistake first. It's only right that you seek justice. Qiao Shu, apologize to Lord Li!" After the old princess finished speaking, she said to Zheng Qiao Shu behind her.
Zheng Qiaoshu felt wronged at first, but then she obediently stepped forward, bowed to Li Tianyou, and said reluctantly, "Lord Li, please forgive me, it was Qiaoshu who offended you!"
Li Tianyou ignored Zheng Qiaoshu. He had seen all sorts of people, and this girl gave him a bad first impression!
Moreover, Xu Heming was clearly at fault in this matter, but the old princess only sent a girl to apologize. She probably thought that she was the one who insisted on making a fuss about it.
Li Tianyou came today knowing that he couldn't really do anything to Prince An; he just wanted an answer, and now that he had it, it was time for him to leave.
"Since that's the case, I'll take my leave today. Your Highness, my daughter Zhiwei isn't obligated to marry you. I know this marriage is unfair to you. My Li family is not worthy of your Xu family. If you're unwilling, my Li family will bear the blame. I'll even risk my life to beg the Emperor to rescind his decree! Instead of letting you humiliate us like this!"
After taking a few steps, Li Tianyou said to Xu Heming with a solemn expression.
After Li Tianyou finished speaking, he nodded to the old princess and strode away.
"Sigh..." The old princess wanted to say something more, but then she realized that she didn't know where to begin.
"Aunt, isn't this Lord Li too petty? My cousin hasn't even married his daughter yet, and he's already showing off like this at the Prince An's mansion. After Miss Li enters the family, won't the Prince An's mansion become the Li family's domain?" Zheng Qiaoshu said with some dissatisfaction after watching Li Tianyou, who had never given her a second glance, leave.
"Alright, your cousin was in the wrong first, so it's understandable that Lord Li is angry." Although the old princess felt that Li Tianyou was too arrogant, she also knew that her son was at fault first, so she wouldn't accuse the other party of being rude later.
“But he’s alright, isn’t he? Besides, my cousin, a prince, knelt down to him, a mere third-rank official. What more could he possibly want?” Zheng Qiaoshu said, feeling somewhat aggrieved for Xu Heming.
"Mother, I shouldn't have trusted others so easily. I almost caused my father-in-law's death. If you knew that someone had poisoned you, you wouldn't be able to remain calm, would you?" Xu Heming explained somewhat displeasedly, fearing that the old princess would develop a prejudice against Li Zhiwei after hearing Zheng Qiaoshu's words.
"Alright, now that you know you've made a mistake, prepare a congratulatory gift and apologize to Lord Li properly. Don't make this mistake again next time." Although the old princess thought her son made sense, she still felt that Li Tianyou was too pretentious and didn't respect the princess.
There was always a sense of imbalance in my heart.
“Mother’s words are right!” Xu Heming stood up and put the whip back in its place.
