Li Shoude had been in the Imperial Academy for so many years, but he had not been able to move. Why? Because he was too pedantic, so that he had been to many royal palaces to give lectures before, but in the end he could not establish a relationship with any of them.
Mrs. Li had given up on him over the years, and seeing that he only knew how to ask what to do, she had no temper at all at this moment. She glared at him coldly and turned her head away in annoyance. After a while, the manager outside brought people in. Mrs. Li looked up and all the anger in her heart dissipated at this moment. She even suspected that she had misjudged the person. She stood up from the chair and stared at the person in front of her for a long time, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Li Shoude still felt something was strange, but when he stood up and walked towards Mrs. Li, he was suddenly dumbfounded.
The person in front of him was Chen Dong, the most powerful captain of the Jinyiwei.
Everyone knows that Chen Dong was the Crown Prince's former capable subordinate, and is now his confidant.
Even if we put aside this identity, the three words "Jinyiwei" are enough to make people tremble with fear.
Mrs. Li naturally thought of her daughter's death and believed that it was the Cui family who asked the Jinyiwei to come. She felt like her neck was being strangled for a moment. In fact, they could only control Cui Yuandao's reputation and believed that Cui Yuandao and his men would surrender because of their reputation. But if the Cui family really broke off relations, their Li family would really have no other choice.
Chen Dong saw the expressions of the couple, pulled the corners of his mouth slightly to smile, nodded politely to Mrs. Li, and said directly without beating around the bush: "Mrs. Li, I have something I want to ask Mrs. Li."
Mrs. Li was a little confused. She was so scared that her hands and feet were cold, but her palms were burning hot. It was like being in a world of ice and fire for a moment. She nodded reluctantly.
Chen Dong said in a deep voice: "Master Cui Si was very secretive about his mistress. Does Madam Li know who told Madam Cui Si about this?"
Mrs. Li really isn't very clear about this.
She shook her head.
Chen Dong tapped the table with his fingers, causing Li Shoude's heart to tighten, as if a small hammer was hitting his chest. After a while, he spoke slowly: "You should know that Cui Daru had a falling out with the Cui family and has now separated from the Cui family. You also know that the two families are almost enemies."
Of course she knew this. When she first learned about this, Li scolded Cui Yuandao several times at home, thinking that Cui Yuandao was too stupid and did not know how to adapt to the current situation.
As expected, Mr. Cui Si eventually lost control of the family business and was driven out. He came to the capital in disgrace.
This made Li even more determined to divorce.
Mrs. Li looked at Chen Dong in confusion, not knowing what Chen Dong meant by saying so much.
"Your daughter went to find Master Cui Si because Master Cui San instigated her. Master Cui San deliberately instigated her in order to use your daughter's life to frame Cui Yuandao's family." Chen Dong said this lightly. Seeing that Mrs. Li and Li Shoude opened their eyes wide, he did not stop and continued, "The reason why she died was also calculated by Master Cui San. She was not killed by Master Cui Si, but by Master Cui San."
Li Shoude has always been good at studying and has no ideas. After hearing what Chen Dong said, he didn't know how to react.
Mrs. Li was much calmer than Li Shoude. She quickly recovered from her shock and asked, "Why did Master Chen say these things to us?"
Chen Dong was the commander of the Jinyiwei, and had no connection with the Cui family or the Li family. Even if what he said was the truth, why did he say it
Chen Dong raised his eyebrows: "No reason, I just hope that this matter will not implicate Cui Yuandao and his men, but Mr. Cui San, so I hope your family will cooperate."
Li Shoude and Mrs. Li looked at each other and both found it unbelievable.
Li Shoude was especially angry. He was shaking all over. "Let alone whether what Lord Chen said is true or false, even if what you said is true, we..."
Chen Dong stared at him coldly, "Even if it's true, you don't want to offend the Cui family, because they have a princess and a high official, right?"
Li Shoude and Mrs. Li were speechless.
Chen Dong sneered, "You two can reconsider this, because the mistress has already admitted that it was not Master Cui who killed the person. Even if you don't come forward, Master Cui will be fine. But if you come forward to testify against Master Cui San, everything your daughter deserves will fall into your hands without a cent."
Li Shoude was overwhelmed by the information and didn't know how to react.
Mrs. Li was also feeling panicked, but when she looked at Chen Dong, she suddenly had another idea - Chen Dong was the man of the Emperor Huang's grandson, and since he had come forward...
The sky soon brightened again. Master Cui San was looking at an ancient painting of Princess Chun'an with a smile on his face. "Good! It is indeed a genuine work. Chun'an's eyesight is getting sharper and sharper."
Princess Chun'an let out a breath and rolled up the painting: "Since my uncle said so, I have finally found a treasure."
Master Cui San smiled and nodded: "This is not rare. If you like it, I have a painting of spring flowers and autumn moon by Tang Yin. I will give it to you when the time comes."
The Cui family is a century-old prestigious family, and the wealth they have accumulated is like a wealth of fish swimming in the river.
Princess Chun'an suddenly jumped up with joy.
The two were talking happily when a maid hurried in, glanced at Princess Chun'an cautiously, and lowered her head: "Third Master, someone is looking for you outside."
Princess Chun'an was in high spirits. Since Master Cui San came, she felt that her life was much more comfortable than before. Her uncle doted on her and thought of her for all the good things. He was also more tolerant than her mother. When she heard that someone was looking for Master Cui San, she smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for my uncle to come back."
Mr. Cui Sanye smiled, agreed, and went out.
Princess Chun'an waited until almost noon, but still didn't see any sign of Mr. Cui Sanye. She felt a little disappointed and asked someone to go out and take a look.
The maid who went out came back soon and reported to Princess Chun'an as if she had seen a ghost: "The people who came to see the Third Master this morning were government officials. Now the Third Master has been taken to Shuntian Prefecture. I don't know why. The Princess got the news and took people to Shuntian Prefecture. There is no news yet."
Went to Shuntianfu?!
Princess Chun'an couldn't believe it.
This is the palace of the emperor, and Mr. Cui Sanye has made great achievements. Why would Shuntian Prefecture come to the palace to arrest people
She was stunned for a moment, and a bad feeling rose in her heart: "Did you tell me why?"
Princess Fenyang also had a gloomy face at this time.
