Chapter Thirty-Seven
"Who would have thought..." Just as Xu Qingshi was about to say that he wasn't interested, his peripheral vision caught sight of the contents of the box.
His eyes widened immediately.
Nine-linked rings, Luban lock, and some other things he couldn't name.
When Xu Qing saw this, he momentarily forgot that these things were bribes from Li Zhiwei.
All I can see in my eyes is liking.
Li Zhiwei smiled and left the space to Xu Qingshi before leaving herself.
Otherwise, when Xu Qingshi realizes what's happening, he probably won't want to see himself either.
At this moment, Li Tianyou was still waiting for her in the front hall.
“Father!” Li Zhiwei knew that her father probably still had something he wanted to say to her.
After all, although these events caught them off guard, she believed that her father must have his own plans.
In her past life, it was because she was useless that the Marquis of Ru'an's family was able to take advantage of her.
This time, everything was different. She didn't marry Lin Jitong, and her father learned about her ordeal.
"Okay, have a seat." Li Tianyou sighed.
Thinking of Lin Qihua's arrogant demeanor just now.
I felt extremely guilty.
He remembered that his daughter was actually unwilling to agree to the marriage, but he felt that this was a rare opportunity.
Thinking that perhaps the Li family could take this opportunity to reach new heights.
However, they overlooked the fact that behind the contrast, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Li Zhiwei sat to the side somewhat nervously.
There are some things that, even if they know them, are not things they can completely change.
“Weiwei, this time, I’ve let you down,” Li Tianyou said to his daughter with remorse.
"Father, it's not your fault. This was my own choice." Li Zhiwei knew that Li Tianyou was referring to the marriage with the Marquis of Ru'an's family, but she really couldn't blame Li Tianyou. She had agreed to it in the end.
Moreover, if marrying into the Marquis of Ru'an's household could bring benefits to the Li family, she would actually be willing.
It's just that the Marquis of Ru'an's family was greedy.
"Father, don't worry. Tomorrow, you're going to the palace to meet the Emperor. This is an opportunity for our Li family," Li Zhiwei said softly as she walked to Li Tianyou's side.
"I don't know if this trip to the palace will be a blessing or a curse." Thinking of this, Li Tianyou felt a little heavy-hearted.
"Father, do you blame your daughter for donating half of the Li family's assets to the imperial court?" Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei didn't know if her father would feel sorry for the money.
After all, those were all earned through her father's hard work.
She was going all in, leaving herself no way out and without even consulting her father.
"What nonsense are you talking about, child?" Li Tianyou naturally knew why his daughter was doing this.
If his daughter hadn't done this, she would probably have been devoured by the Marquis of Ru'an's family until there wasn't even a bone left. How could he blame his daughter?
However, although he had met all sorts of people in his business, he had never met the emperor. It is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, and he was actually worried that the emperor might be like the Marquis of Ru'an's family.
They didn't even leave the Li family a way to survive.
He's so old now, he's gone now, but his daughter is still young and should have a bright future ahead of her.
"Father, I think the Emperor doesn't seem like an unreasonable person. If the Emperor wants it, we should sacrifice the pawn to save the king," Li Zhiwei said softly to Li Tianyou.
In fact, she didn't know what the emperor wanted to do.
However, she felt that life was more important than keeping that money, and she worried that Li Tianyou would be reluctant to part with it.
