Chapter 228
Li Tianyou looked at Imperial Censor Cao.
Then I looked at Zhu Jingchen, who was sitting at the head of the table.
He looked very unhappy.
He thought to himself, "This Lord Cao's ability to fabricate stories out of thin air is truly comparable to that of the old ladies in the marketplace."
He had no idea that his perfectly healthy daughter was already married.
"Lord Cao, the Lord Li you mentioned, could it be that he happens to be me?"
Li Tianyou thought about it and realized that he could no longer tolerate it, so there was no need to tolerate it any longer.
However, while he was speaking, he was also secretly observing the emperor's expression. Seeing that the emperor did not show any displeasure when he spoke, he became even bolder.
Zhu Jingchen: I am actually very curious whether Li Tianyou really secretly married off his daughter.
"Lord Li, don't you know what you've done? Do I need to name you?" Lord Cao said, looking at Li Tianyou with disdain.
Thinking to himself, Li Tianyou only became the Vice Minister of Revenue because he had some money.
Hmph, the Emperor is praising him, does he really think he can do whatever he wants?
"Minister Li, do you have anything to say about what Minister Cao said?" Zhu Jingchen coughed lightly and asked, but his tone was unreadable.
However, Imperial Censor Cao was so caught up in his smugness that he completely failed to notice the Emperor's somewhat displeased look.
Imperial Censor Cao believed that his case was already a foregone conclusion.
"Your Majesty, I was unaware that Lord Cao had found another daughter for me." Li Tianyou looked at Imperial Censor Cao, his eyes filled with excitement.
This left even Imperial Censor Cao somewhat bewildered.
He impeached Li Tianyou.
But why is he looking at me with such gratitude?
At this moment, Imperial Censor Cao was repeatedly recalling what he had just said.
He clearly wanted to accuse Li Tianyou of disobeying the imperial edict and secretly marrying off Miss Li, who was already betrothed to Prince An, to someone else, didn't he?
Imperial Censor Cao glanced at Prince An, who remained remarkably calm.
I really can't understand why these two people reacted like that.
Or is this actually Prince An's idea?
"Oh? Didn't Minister Li say that Miss Li is his only daughter?" Zhu Jingchen didn't expect that Li Tianyou had another daughter. Thinking of Li Zhiwei's generous dowry, Zhu Jingchen wondered if he could consider letting that daughter enter the palace if Li Tianyou had another daughter.
By then, the national treasury should be even more abundant.
However, Zhu Jingchen immediately denied this idea, after all, if Li Tianyou really had a daughter, he couldn't possibly not know.
It seems that this Imperial Censor Cao obtained false information from who-knows-where.
"Your Majesty, I only just learned that I have a daughter who has been living away from home. Lord Cao, do you know where my daughter is now?" Li Tianyou said to Imperial Censor Cao with a serious expression.
"Lord Li, how would I know where your daughter is?" Imperial Censor Cao said impatiently, thinking to himself, "This Vice Minister Li seems to be a bit slow on the uptake."
Otherwise, why would he ask an outsider like himself where his daughter is?
"Didn't you say, Lord Li, that my daughter is already married?" Li Tianyou asked, looking at Imperial Censor Cao.
“Lord Li, what I’m saying is clear: Miss Li, who is betrothed to His Highness Prince An, has married someone else without permission!” Imperial Censor Cao said with a dark face and full of dissatisfaction.
This Li Tianyou actually wants to play dumb here?
