Chapter 490 The Palace Maid Wants to Retire (16)
Shi Li didn't want to pay attention to those irrelevant people. He just wanted to meet Wen Shichu as soon as possible. He went out of the house excitedly, but unfortunately he heard an unpleasant voice as soon as he went out:
"Shi Li! Where are you going? You don't even want to see me, you unfilial son! Do you still remember that I am your biological father?" Shi Ying was kicked out of the house by a housekeeper. When he was feeling annoyed and angry, he saw his disobedient son coming out. Naturally, he shouted at him in a rage.
Shi Li just glanced at him indifferently and didn't even bother to say a word to him. In Shi Li's heart, Shi Ying, his biological father, was as good as dead.
"I'm calling you! Shi Li, stop!" Seeing that Shi Li ignored him, Shi Ying became even more angry and humiliated. He was so angry that he forgot that he was a person of status and actually chased after him and shouted loudly.
"You rebellious and unfilial son, where do you want to go? I ask you, is it true that you want to marry an unknown palace maid? I don't agree! I don't allow you to marry that kind of lowly woman..." Shi Ying said breathlessly while chasing Shi Li.
Yes, the reason why Shi Ying came to see Shi Li this time was that he disagreed with the marriage that Shi Li had arranged for him on his own initiative.
When Shi Li heard him talking about his marriage, his face turned cold, he turned around and looked at Shi Ying with eyes as sharp as knives, and said: "I don't need your consent to marry anyone."
"Why don't you need my consent? You are my son! As a father, can't I control my own son's marriage? Shi Li, you are still young and don't know how important a marriage that can help you is. Now you are dazzled by that palace maid and are willing to marry her, but when you need help in the court in the future, you will know how important it is to have a powerful Yue family..." Shi Ying thought he was doing it for Shi Li's good, and kept persuading him.
Shi Li's face was extremely ugly. He said sarcastically, "I am different from Master Shi. Master Shi, you rely on women's connections to climb up, but I don't need that. I relied on real swords and real wood warehouses, and fought blood and sweat on the battlefield. I have enough confidence to marry whoever I want."
"You, you bastard!" Shi Ying's face flushed red after Shi Li exposed his past. He didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed. "If you continue to be so stubborn and want to marry that palace maid against me, then don't even think that I will show up for you on your wedding day!"
Shi Li sneered and said, "I couldn't ask for more! Even if you want to come, I can't let you come. I'm afraid you will tarnish my wife's eyes."
"You! You are indeed the son of a dancer of lowly blood. Aren't you afraid of the gossip of the world for doing this?" Shi Ying's face also turned cold, and his expression suddenly became gloomy, and he changed to a threat, "If His Majesty knew that you don't even care about the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, and you are disobedient to your own father, I wonder if you can still maintain your position?"
"Liu Bang even wanted to drink a bowl of meat soup when his own father was cooked into meat by the enemies. Such a big moral stain could not hinder him from achieving great things. He was still the founding emperor in the future. I just cut off contact with my cold-blooded and heartless father. What does this matter? Your Majesty, can you erase all my merits because of this? Do you think Your Majesty is a tyrant?" Shi Li said sarcastically.
Shi Ying was choked by his words and was speechless. Shi Li finally warned him: "Don't think about doing anything tricky with my marriage, otherwise I don't mind finding something for you and my good relatives to do..."
Shi Ying suddenly felt so frustrated that his face turned red. He pointed his finger at Shi Li and his whole body was shaking with anger. Shi Li rolled his eyes and left without looking back.
Now that he has the ability to cause trouble for the Shi family, Shi Ying naturally dare not ignore his words, because once this son goes crazy, he will really not recognize any relatives, and Shi Ying's entire family will be threatened.
After Shi Li turned around and left, his anger had almost disappeared. He no longer cared about the Shi family. Although Shi Ying annoyed him like a clown, a clown is a clown. Apart from jumping out from time to time to annoy him, he could not cause any harm at all. Therefore, he would not waste his time on being angry with his enemy.
Wen Shichu was watering the small tomatoes in her yard. The tomatoes were an improved variety that she took out from her space. Each one was like a black pearl as big as a finger, hanging on the branches. They were very beautiful and tasted sweet. They could also be eaten as fruit. Wen Shichu liked them very much.
"You're here?" Wen Shichu recognized Shi Li's footsteps without even raising his head. He was tall and strong, and because of his profound martial arts skills, his steps were not heavy and slow, but rather very rhythmic.
Shi Li walked over, picked a black pearl tomato and threw it into his mouth, then took the watering can from Wen Shichu and helped her water the remaining tomatoes.
"Are you unhappy today?" Wen Shichu asked when he saw that he didn't say a word.
"No." Shi Li shook his head and said, "I plan to invite my colleagues and friends in the army for the wedding banquet. There won't be many people, but they are all trustworthy brothers."
"The Shi family didn't invite you?" Wen Shichu said, "It's OK if they don't invite you. After all, I didn't tell anyone in my hometown about my marriage."
After hearing what she said, Shi Li suddenly chuckled and said, "It seems that we are indeed a perfect match. We have no parental ties and don't care about these things."
Wen Shichu rolled his eyes and said, "You make it sound like we are some kind of heartless and ungrateful bastards who don't recognize our relatives. It's obviously them who are unkind, so we are unfilial!"
"Yes, you are right." Shi Li quickly agreed, and then mentioned Shi Ying, "My biological father remembered that I am his son. He just came to my house and refused to let me marry you. I don't know where he got the nerve to ask me to do that."
When Wen Shichu heard this, he immediately perked up, his eyes lit up, and asked, "Your father came to interfere in our marriage? Doesn't he know what kind of person you are? Does he think you will listen to him?"
"People always have a sense of luck. Maybe he thinks I will listen to him this time?" Shi Li said sarcastically.
"Tsk tsk, some people have no self-awareness." Wen Shichu has seen a lot of parents who don't actually have any love for their children. Only when they think their children are useful will they try every means to kidnap their children with filial piety in order to pursue their own interests.
It's a pity that neither Shi Li nor she is the kind of person who would be so foolish as to be morally blackmailed, so Shi Ying had made a wrong calculation.
The tomato plants in the yard were watered quickly. Shi Li put the watering can aside and pulled Wen Shichu over. He hugged her in his arms, lowered his head, rested his chin on her head, and quietly enjoyed this leisurely time.
