Chapter 68 The Dog Returns
"Actually, you can refuse appropriately!"
If the emperor didn't still have some dignity, he really wanted to rush up and grab the bastard's arm and make him return the things!
He himself was living a hard life, so how could he have so much family property and ask that prodigal son, the fourth son, to give it to his father-in-law's family?
"That's not right."
Old Jiang waved his palm with a palm-leaf fan, showing the face of a kind father.
"I don't really care whether the gift is good or not. What matters is the child's filial piety! At first, I didn't accept the gift he gave me, which made the child very worried.
I don't know how long I scratched my head and pondered, and I sent a lot of random things. I thought I should just accept it. Why should we, as adults, make things difficult for our own children?
Don’t you think so, brother?”
I asked you to force me to marry my daughter a few days ago, and now I want to ask you if you are happy that your own son has stolen your family property?
I am so happy!
The emperor swallowed hard twice, repeating to himself many times not to be angry, but fortunately he didn't give advantage to outsiders. Only then did he suppress his frustration.
"Stop talking nonsense. Let me ask you, why did you hire someone to investigate the Zhao family?"
Jiang Huailiang was shocked. As expected, nothing could be hidden from the emperor's eyes.
"Won't my family be royal relatives in the future? Shouldn't I check in on all my relatives and neighbors? If I don't recognize them when I meet them on the street, won't that offend people? I'm not the only one doing this. Didn't Old Song and the Wang and Liu families all send people to investigate everywhere?"
"They did investigate, yes, but they weren't as aggressive as you are. Zhao Heran even complained to me, how can I protect you?"
"He dares to complain?"
Jiang Huailiang's face was visibly filled with anger when he heard this. He took a step forward, lifted his robe and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I originally wanted to investigate thoroughly before reporting to you. But now that you've asked me about it, I can no longer hide it."
He looked around the room to make sure no one was in there, then asked in a low voice.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, if you have a son who is born into the Zhao family? He is probably about ten years old."
"What kind of nonsense is this?"
The emperor frowned.
"It's not like my Li family can't afford to raise a child, so why should I leave him with the Zhao family? Tell me, what did you find out?"
Jiang Huailiang reported truthfully.
"A few days ago, by coincidence, when I was returning from an inspection tour of the East Camp, I ran into the Zhao family's Sixth Young Master, who was rumored to be frail and sickly. At first glance, he looked very familiar."
"Who does it look like?"
"Like the prince when he was a child, he looks about 70% similar."
Old Jiang stared at the jade pendant on his waist. Although his voice was not loud, he was sure that the emperor could hear it clearly.
"He probably bears some resemblance to you, Your Majesty."
With a bang, a muffled sound came from the table!
"Someone, go check!"
In Chunmingfang, the most prosperous and lively place in the capital, Jiang Wan was taking his younger brother and sister out for a walk, and as expected, there was a young wolf lying behind them.
"Sister, I want that kite!"
"Which one?"
"Little Swallow, the one in the flowery dress."
"purchase."
"Thank you, sister!"
Seeing that Jiang Lao Er's act of coquettishness was successful, Jiang Lao San also came over and followed suit.
"Sister, I want a kite too."
"Which one?"
"Little Swallow, the one in the flowery dress!"
Jiang Wan looked at the only little swallow kite and sighed helplessly.
"... Third brother, don't force me to slap you when I'm so happy."
After being ruthlessly rejected by the eldest sister and feeling the mocking look of the second sister, Jiang Lao San, who wanted to save face even if it meant doing nothing, turned around and pounced on the kind-hearted person behind him.
"Brother-in-law~~~~"
“Buy, buy, buy, buy!”
Li Laosi smiled happily.
"This stall is sold out. Brother-in-law will take you to the next stall to buy one. Don't worry, I will buy you an identical one."
“Thank you, brother-in-law!”
Jiang Lao San shook his head proudly at Jiang Lao Er.
You have your sister's partiality, and I have your brother-in-law's exclusive favor!
Humph, who is worse than who?
Two boys, one big and one small, rushed to the kite stall in front, while the Jiang sisters stayed where they were to pay the bill and successfully got the kites they liked.
"Sister, shall we go fly kites this afternoon?"
"OK."
The two sisters were talking as they walked forward when they suddenly heard the clatter of horse hooves behind them, accompanied by the screams of many people.
"Ah, get out of the way!"
"The horse is startled! Run!"
Jiang Han looked back and saw a large chestnut horse pulling a carriage rushing towards him like crazy.
"Sister, help!"
Jiang Wan, with her quick reaction, raised her hand to grab her sister and pulled her to the side, narrowly avoiding the mad horse. Seeing the carriage rushing straight into the crowd ahead, she shouted instructions to the servants.
"Keep an eye on the Second Young Lady!"
He rushed over to catch up with the mad horse. Fortunately, the horse stopped neighing for a few breaths. Jiang Wan rushed over to see that the silly Li Laosi had already rushed onto the horse's back and tightened the reins. The horse reared up, screaming and twisting wildly, almost throwing the person off its back.
Just as he was about to rush over to help, Li Chengxiu shouted.
"Stay away!"
"Master, the subordinates are here!"
Li Chengxiu's personal guards rushed forward, and it took the combined efforts of several people to subdue Crazy Horse.
Li Chengxiu, who jumped off the horse, had a very ugly expression on his face. He no longer had his usual cheerful and silly look, and his eyes were very cold.
"Li Song, go see what's going on."
"yes!"
He ran to the carriage and pushed open the door. A young man, about ten years old, was slumped inside in a state of extreme embarrassment. The guard's eyes suddenly widened at the sight of his familiar face.
Damn it, he must be in trouble!
"What's going on? I told you to see, but you're still hesitant. Next time I'll..."
Li Chengxiu pushed his men aside and met the pair of dark eyes in the carriage.
"Oh my god, I'm an uncle now? How come I didn't know when my eldest brother did this?"
With that kind of face, Li Laosi refused to believe the other party's statement that it had nothing to do with his elder brother.
"Where's your brain?"
Jiang Wan came over and took a look inside the carriage, his eyes suddenly lit up.
You bastard, your dad finally caught you!
Li Shenxiu shuddered at the other person's excited look. What on earth was this idiot trying to do?
He immediately took advantage of his child's strengths, and with his eyes drooping and rolling, two tears welled up in his eyes.
"Brother and sister, I am the Sixth Prince of the current dynasty! Can you please send me to the palace? My father will definitely reward you handsomely when the time comes!"
He pretended not to recognize the two people, with three parts of panic, three parts of innocence and one part of certainty on his face.
Although he woke up a little late and didn't understand why the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was no longer stupid in this life, and her marriage partner changed from Ji Yunzhi to the damn Li Laosi.
But it doesn't matter. Li Laosi still appeared in Chunmingfang as in his previous life. He will definitely take me back to the palace. Then I, Li Laoliu, will definitely ascend to the supreme position again.
