Ji Tingyou is a simple-minded person and sometimes acts impulsively, but fortunately he is very obedient to advice and calmed down after hearing this.
"Sister Su, how can I teach Zhang Shisheng a lesson without ruining my cousin's reputation?"
Su Li smiled and said, "This matter is not as complicated as you think. Zhang Shisheng is gay. He can't escape it no matter what. As long as you expose him on the spot, are you still worried that his family will not come to apologize?"
To be honest, knowing that he is a homosexual, he still talks about marriage with a woman. Such behavior is really abominable, and it is the Zhang family's responsibility to apologize.
"Well, I'll have Xiao Ye take you directly to Zhang Shisheng's private room. You'll expose him on the spot. If he still wants to deny it, have your people arrest his lover and then have him confronted at Li Daxueshi's residence. See if he admits it..."
In the original novel, Zhang Shisheng loved his personal servant very much and was absolutely loyal to him. She was not afraid that he would ignore the servant.
"Remember, just handle it in the private room. Don't make any noise. Linglong isn't really engaged to him yet. If anything gets out, Linglong will suffer."
Ji Tingyou nodded: "I understand..."
Su Li immediately turned his head and ordered: "Xiao Wu, go ask Zhitang first if Zhang Shisheng is still there."
"Yes." Xiao Wu responded and left the private room.
After learning about this, Ji Tingyou and Pei Mingyue lost interest in watching the show.
Ji Tingyou was angry, but Pei Mingyue didn't think it was a big deal and wanted to watch the fun. After all, the male lead in the play on stage was not good-looking enough for her to watch, so she had no interest in watching it.
The two of them looked out the door from time to time to see if Xiaowu had returned.
Su Li couldn't help but laugh. Xiao Wu was only away for a while.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Xiaowu came back.
"Madam, they're still here. Brother Zhitang said they're still in love..."
Su Li nodded: "Then you take the Second Young Master there now."
Then he looked at Ji Tingyou and said, "Ji Tingyou, take your people with you. Remember, have someone guard the door and don't let any rumors about Linglong spread."
"good."
Ji Tingyou brought his men and followed Xiao Ye in a hurry.
"I want to go too!" Pei Mingyue hurried to catch up.
Su Li pulled her and said, "Just watch the show. Don't join in the fun."
"Why?"
"Do you know who Zhang Shisheng is?"
Pei Mingyue looked confused: "The eldest son of the Minister of Revenue, isn't that what you just said?"
"Besides, he's also the most favored student of the current Grand Tutor Zhong. It's said that Grand Tutor Zhong is extremely optimistic about him and has identified him as his successor. While homosexuality isn't illegal, it's certainly not something to be ashamed of. Forget Ji Tingyou, he's Linglong's cousin after all. If you go and catch him in the act, he might even hold a grudge against you. So why bother offending him?"
This is also why the old lady wanted to let Madam Li investigate the matter first before making a decision on Li Linglong's matter. She was also afraid that the two families would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
It's not that the Duke's Mansion is afraid of the Grand Tutor or the Zhang family. After all, no one in the court, no matter how high or low their rank, would be willing to make enemies everywhere, right?
Pei Mingyue also understood what Su Li meant.
Her Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was naturally not afraid of offending Zhang Shisheng, who was a disciple of the Grand Tutor but was only a scholar with an uncertain future. It was just unnecessary.
In general, not joining in the fun can indeed avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.
She smiled and said, "You make sense. Then I won't go..."
The two watched the show while waiting for news from Ji Tingyou. Unexpectedly, Ji Tingyou came back earlier than expected, in just a quarter of an hour, or fifteen minutes.
Su Li was surprised: "Solved?"
"It's resolved. He has already agreed to have his father, Minister Li, personally go to the residence of Grand Secretary Li to apologize."
"So soon?"
Ji Tingyou didn't expect it to be so easy. He scratched his head and said, "As soon as I entered, I caught him in the act, then caught him and beat him up. Then I asked him to go to the Li Mansion to apologize. He immediately agreed, and then I left."
Pei Mingyue rolled her eyes and said, "So you basically spent all your time beating him up after you went in there?"
Ji Tingyou blinked and nodded: "It seems so."
"Awesome!" Pei Mingyue gave him a thumbs up.
Su Li said, "Send someone to tell my aunt and grandma, so that they can prepare."
What to do next is a matter for Li Daxueshi's office to consider, and it is not her responsibility.
Ji Tingyou nodded and said, "Sanbao, you should go to your aunt now. Forget it, I'll just go there myself."
Then he looked at Su Li and the others and said, "Sister Su, Mingyue, we can't watch the show today. I have to leave first."
Old people go to bed early. It is already night time. If it is any later, he is afraid that his aunt and grandmother will go to bed.
Su Li nodded.
Pei Mingyue also waved her hand: "Go ahead!"
After Ji Tingyou left, Su Li and Pei Mingyue watched the show until the end before returning home.
After returning to the Zhuangyuan Mansion, Su Li called Xiao Ye: "How is Pei Xiuli?"
Xiao Ye knew that the Pei Xiu Li the lady was referring to was Madam Zhou, so he replied, "She's been in the house since this afternoon. She hasn't left the house at all. She's been crying and cursing all afternoon."
"Who are you scolding?"
"Zhou Yi, and you, Madam."
Su Li sneered: "Keep staring at her."
After all, Pei Xiuli and Pei Ji are related, so she will not just sit there and do nothing.
Of course, Su Li didn't let her live in the mansion because she was afraid that she had nowhere to go or was hungry. It was just that she understood the Zhou Yi brothers and knew that they would not easily let go of the opportunity to get close to Pei Ji. They were afraid that she would collude with them and mess around outside. Keeping her under their eyes would also make it convenient for her to keep an eye on her and the Zhou Yi brothers.
She had to beat back all her greed, and if that didn't work, she didn't mind killing her herself.
"yes."
Xiao Ye responded and left the west wing.
As the night deepened, Su Li stretched his back, asked Rang to prepare hot water, and took a comfortable bath before going to bed.
