The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

The two groups started arguing loudly in front of the emperor.

Li Gan frowned and slapped the table and said:

"Alright, everyone, cut the crap. King Qin, what do you think about this?"

On the side, Li Ji didn't say a word.

In his life, the disaster in the south also began to break out at this time.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to quickly organize disaster relief, not to engage in such verbal disputes. The longer the court takes action, the more suffering the people of Jiangnan will endure!"

As soon as the words fell, the two rooms that had been arguing with each other actually quieted down.

The main reason is that what the King of Qin said makes sense.

They are making noise to speak up for the people of the world.

There is no reason to obstruct disaster relief efforts.

"As for whether Lord Pei Shijie is guilty, we will know once we investigate. We can proceed with both matters simultaneously without interfering with each other!"

After Li Ji finished speaking, Li Gan nodded.

"Okay, let's do as the King of Qin says."

Every year, there are flood disasters of varying sizes in the south. The imperial court has planned disaster relief supplies in advance, and now when it comes to disaster relief, all departments have responded very quickly.

Within a few days, relief supplies were dispatched from various places to the disaster area.

Su Li also shared the same confusion as King Qin.

"Uncle San has always been meticulous in his work and has always kept a close eye on matters at the dike. How could something like this happen?"

She had doubts in her mind and raised them with Pei Heng.

I originally thought that everything was finally safe and sound and I could live a peaceful life, but I never expected such complications to arise out of nowhere.

"Right now, the Emperor, despite the pressure, hasn't arrested Third Uncle. He's only asking him to help with disaster relief to make amends. But..."

Pei Heng paused.

"But such a big thing has to be explained."

"Ari, I want to go there myself."

The Emperor, out of respect for Pei Heng and his trust in his uncle's character, had temporarily refrained from punishing him. But he couldn't just sit there and wait; he had to find out what was going on!

"It would be better if you go there in person."

Su Li said,

"My third aunt, grandmother, and their entire family are feeling incredibly uneasy right now. If you go there, not only will you be able to investigate the truth, but you'll also give them a sense of security."

"Father, mother."

Outside the door, Li Ji suddenly walked in. He saluted the two and said,

"Father, I will go with you."

Seeing that it was Li Ji, Su Li stood up and nodded.

Ever since Li Ji left home, she felt that the distance between them was getting farther and farther. So much so that when they met at this moment, Su Li even wondered in her heart whether she should perform the ritual of monarch and subject.

If Brother Huan were here, there would definitely not be such an awkward situation.

But Li Ji always gave her a sense of indifference and alienation, so that she didn't even dare to mention the mother-son relationship they had in the past.

Now that they were in the same room, it felt a bit awkward.

"You guys chat, I'm going to go pack my luggage for the trip south."

After saying that, he walked out.

When she packed her luggage and went to the study to call them to dinner, she walked to the corridor and heard Pei Heng suddenly raise his voice and roar:

"What? You, you are just messing around!"

Faced with Pei Heng's anger, Li Ji was not willing to be outdone.

"Father, I want him to pay the price for his evil deeds! If he remains imprisoned in the manor, I will never have the reason or chance to kill him and avenge myself, Xi Jie'er, and Xie An."

"Brother Huan, what are you talking about? I've imprisoned him for his entire life, making him pay for his evil deeds! Have you ever thought about how much trouble he would cause if you let him go? Once someone as ambitious as him regains his freedom!"

"I'm not afraid of him causing trouble! I just want him to cause trouble so I can have a reason to punish him. Father, you haven't seen Xi Jie'er being tied up and thrown onto the flower boat on the Liujing River. You haven't seen Xie An being beaten beyond recognition by his men and thrown into the water to feed the fish! And you haven't seen me being cut into pieces and executed by him!"

Li Ji's voice was shrill and high-pitched, as if he wanted to roar out all the hatred in his heart.

Everything he had experienced, his father had never experienced.

He even starved himself to death early on, and then threw all the burdens on him!

What right did his father have to blame him?

For him, the life he had experienced was the real life, and everything before him was just another chance given to him by God, allowing him the opportunity to avenge himself, his sister, and his good brother with his own hands.

"Brother Huan, have you ever thought about what will happen to the people of the world if you do this? What will happen to your Third Uncle? The people of Jiangnan are suffering right now, and it's very likely that it was that beast Pei Yan who was responsible! And you were the one who released this beast from prison with your own hands!"

Pei Heng roared.

Li Ji sneered, "So what? Father, if it's proven that he did all this, wouldn't it be a good idea to arrest him and make him pay for what he did?"

"how about you?!"

Pei Heng pressed Li Ji's slightly tender shoulders.

"Brother Huan, if he is the culprit, then you are an accomplice!"

Pei Heng's words were deafening, shaking the entire study. Song Tao, who was following behind Su Li, was so frightened that she couldn't help but tremble all over. Even Su Li was a little frightened.

She had been married to Pei Heng for so long, and he had always been gentle and refined in front of her. She had also heard from Helan Yue and others that Pei Heng killed people on the battlefield like cutting vegetables, without blinking an eye.

But Pei Heng has always managed his personality very well at home.

He never brings home negative things like blood, terror, anger, and murderous intent.

Hearing him yelling like that, Su Li knew that he must be extremely angry.

"Alright, alright, what are the father and son yelling about?"

Su Li saw the right moment and slammed the door open, putting on a relaxed smile.

"I heard you guys arguing from so far away, don't turn around and scare Brother Le."

When she mentioned Pei Le, it was rare that both the father and son shut up at the same time.

"Isn't it still uncertain whether Pei Yan did it? It just so happens that you guys are going south to investigate the matter thoroughly. If it's really him, I won't hesitate to cut him into pieces or torn him apart!"

Li Ji felt better after hearing Su Li's words.

He stood up and said:

"Mother, I'm going back to pack my things and leave with Father tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go."

After watching Li Ji leave, Su Li turned around and said to Pei Heng:

"The child has suffered so much, so it's normal for him to be a little extreme. If you put yourself in his shoes, you will understand him."

Su Li had read the original book and knew how many evil things that bastard Pei Yan had done, so no matter what means Li Ji used to deal with Pei Yan, she would fully support it.

Because, that was all Pei Yan's fault.

Pei Heng sighed deeply.

"I know that, too. But, Ah Li, I don't want him to live in hatred forever. Originally, I imprisoned Pei Yan in the manor for life, which was also a punishment for him. That way, perhaps none of this would have happened. The people of Jiangnan wouldn't have suffered this unprovoked disaster, and Third Uncle's hard work wouldn't have been in vain."

Su Li patted Pei Heng to comfort him.

"But that...is really not enough!"

Fortunately, she was just a person who traveled through the book, not the reincarnation of the original owner. If she were the reincarnation of the original owner, I'm afraid her methods would be even more sinister and cruel than Li Ji's.

It is precisely because she only traveled through the book and did not empathize with the original owner's pain that she was able to live a peaceful life like she does now, and was able to teach Huan Ge'er when he was a child that there is a lot of beauty in this world besides hatred.

Although Su Li understood Li Ji.

But I also miss Brother Huan so much.
