Now, he's actually refusing to listen to reason and instead choosing to suffer the consequences.
Then don't blame him for being heartless.
"Lord Ru'an, do you think I don't need you to tell me what to do?" Li Tianyou sneered inwardly when he saw that Lin Qihua had finally revealed his true colors.
Despite his vast knowledge of people, he almost pushed his daughter into a wolf's den; it was his poor judgment of character that led him to this situation.
"Li Tianyou, you're just a merchant. Do you really think you can rival me, Marquis Ru'an? Or do you really think Prince An would take a liking to your daughter? Don't dream. Even my son looks down on your merchant daughter. Prince An is the Emperor's confidant." Marquis Ru'an said to Li Tianyou with a mocking expression.
"Hmph, Marquis Ru'an is quite the schemer. Since your son looks down on my daughter, why are you pretending to come here today?" Li Tianyou was also angry at Lin Qihua's ambivalent expression.
He was even more annoyed with himself.
How blind must one be to choose such a marriage for their daughter?
"Li Tianyou, I advise you to be sensible. My son being able to marry your daughter is a blessing that your Li family has accumulated over several lifetimes." Lin Qihua didn't expect Li Tianyou to react this way, and he was also a little angry.
“I’m sorry, you should keep this good fortune to yourself. My Li family doesn’t need it!” Li Tianyou said firmly.
"Father, let's go! With this attitude, why should we beg him?" Lin Jitong felt that he had just knelt down for nothing.
Thinking about this, Lin Jitong felt wronged.
He shouldn't have listened to his father in the first place. Why did he come looking for this old geezer?
"Besides, the Li family is just a bunch of merchants. How could they possibly help our family? Humph!" Lin Jitong finished speaking and gave Li Tianyou a disdainful look.
“What the young master says is right. Lord Marquis and young master, please return!” Li Tianyou said to the two without any politeness.
"Li Tianyou, don't think that just because you've come to the capital and met the Emperor, you can do anything to me. In this capital, although my Lin family may not be able to control everything, it's still a piece of cake to crush your little Li family!" Lin Qihua said through gritted teeth to Li Tianyou.
"Is that so? Then I, Li, am a tough nut to crack. I'd like to see how Marquis Ru'an will crush my 'little' Li family!" Li Tianyou's heart turned cold again. He had already said so much, yet the Li family still wanted to arrange a marriage. What was their purpose?
Needless to say, he knew it too.
He said that the capital city is such a big place, how could it be that someone would travel all the way to Lijia County and happen to fall for his daughter?
It turns out that all of this was a conspiracy.
Fortunately, the daughter was rescued by the young prince of the Prince of An.
Otherwise, if my daughter really entered the Lin family, she would probably only end up with no remains.
"Li Tianyou!" Lin Qihua wanted to reach out and hit him.
"Marquis of Ru'an, what do you want to do?" Xu Heming's icy voice rang out.
"Your Highness Prince An, what brings you here?" Lin Qihua was startled and quickly put on a smiling face as he turned to Xu Heming.
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that Marquis Ru'an was so capable that he could even manipulate my father-in-law." Xu Heming's heart sank. He hadn't expected Lin Qihua to be so lawless. Even though the Emperor had already agreed to dissolve the engagement between Li Zhiwei and Marquis Ru'an's family, he still dared to use the marriage to intimidate Li Tianyou.
It seems he needs to thoroughly investigate Lin Qihua's recent actions.
"Your Highness, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I just brought Jitong to apologize to Brother Li, isn't that right, Brother Li?" Lin Qihua looked at Li Tianyou with a warning in his eyes.
"Hmph, I don't know, His Majesty has clearly agreed to dissolve this marriage. What face do Marquis Ru'an and his heir have to let this marriage continue? Marquis Ru'an, are you forgetful and have forgotten what you just told me?" Although Li Tianyou didn't like Xu Heming, he knew who was helping him.
