Qian Zhong was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Highness, how can they be considered to have done you a favor? You are of noble status, and it is only natural for them, mother and daughter, to save you and take care of you. You guard the border and protect the country, and everyone in Shengjing City should treat you with respect!"

Li Wang clenched his fists tightly and turned to look at the remaining people: "You and Qian Zhong have the same idea, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness, please think twice!" Several people knelt on the ground.

Zhao Xiaoyu froze on the spot, his expression somewhat complicated.

She also knelt down and said, "Your Highness, what the uncles said is right. There are many women in this world who are suitable for you. You don't have to marry a woman with a terrible experience!"

Prince Li raised an eyebrow in mockery: "You all really don't know your own limits. Do you think you can dictate my marriage? You have made many military achievements, but you should also know that angering me will cost you dearly!"

Qian Zhong looked at him in shock: "Your Majesty, how are you going to deal with us?"

Prince Li spoke without hesitation: "Generals, please disarm and return to the fields. I have a farm outside the capital. Each of you will have a plot of land. Go and cultivate it!"

Instead of taking their lives and punishing them, they send them to farms!

Torture alive!

It's more terrible than being tortured!

They are hands that hold weapons, not hoes!

Besides, they are used to giving orders in the army, so how can they be farmers anymore?

Everyone immediately knelt on the ground and trembled in fear, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down. We are all sincere and this is all for your own good!"

After all, Zhao Xiaoyu was smart. She had already seen that King Li was determined to punish them.

She quickly winked at the guard standing at the door, and she immediately understood that he was going to call for help.

Looking across the entire capital, only Lin Su, the instigator, could stop King Li from getting angry.

After she figured it out, she turned around and ran out of the yard.

She didn't know where Lin Su lived, but she had a mouth under her nose, so she could ask.

She found an old maid tending the garden and asked anxiously, "Where is Lin Su? Where does she live?"

The old nanny knew that the marquis's mother had moved into the mansion, but there were so many people living there recently that she couldn't recognize them all.

So he subconsciously asked, "Who is Lin Su?"

The personal guard said angrily: "It's that abandoned woman from the Xie family. Why are you pretending to be stupid?"

The old nanny was immediately annoyed. What kind of nonsense was this? She actually dared to call her wife's mother an abandoned woman of the Xie family.

She didn't say anything, but simply picked up the broom and smacked the guard on the head. "How dare you! Everyone knows that Miss Lin divorced that scumbag husband from the Xie family right then and there. How come you're the abandoned wife of the Xie family? You're the abandoned wife, and so are your whole family!"

The personal soldier was dazed after being beaten, but he did not dare to act rashly. After all, this was the residence of Marquis Zhan Yi, not a place where she could act recklessly.

She grabbed the old nanny's broom and shouted angrily: "Stop it, I am a close follower of Deputy General Zhao. You dare to hit me, do you want to die?"

The old woman laughed sarcastically and then screamed, "Help! Someone is bullying me, an old woman sweeping the floor. I'm about to be beaten to death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people came running into the yard.

There was a gardener holding a hook, a maid responsible for sweeping, and even the cook from the small kitchen ran out with a big soup ladle.

They protected the old nanny behind them and looked at the personal guard with vigilance: "How dare you run to our Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion and act wildly? Whose influence are you relying on?"

The personal guard turned pale with fear. She never expected that the servants in Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion were so united.

Her previous arrogance had completely vanished, and she hesitantly said, "I just want to ask her for directions. I want to see Miss Lin and ask her to help persuade the angry Prince Li!"

The old nanny said with a look of grievance, "Who would beat and scold someone for asking for directions? In my opinion, you just think that people from our Zhan Yi Marquis Mansion are easy to bully, so you are so arrogant and domineering!"

The personal soldier was so angry that her back teeth ached. It was clearly the old lady who hit her first!

What is this Zhan Yihou Mansion?

In a mixture of anxiety and anger, she cursed loudly: "What a cunning woman! No wonder the prince, seduced by an abandoned woman, disregarded the secular rules and insisted on marrying her as the Princess Li. It turns out that you are all scoundrels of the same nest!"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone angrily retorted: "Try to curse again, and we'll break your teeth one by one!"

The personal guards were not to be outdone and drew their swords.

Someone hurried to report to Mr. and Mrs. Zhan Yan, and also sent the news to Lin Su.

The three of them hurried over and saw that the garden was already in chaos.

Zhan Yan roared, "Stop it!"

The old nanny was the first to kneel before him and apologize: "My Lord, it was my fault. I shouldn't have started it first, but she should never have cursed Miss Lin as an abandoned woman of the Xie family. She was obviously very pitiful, why did others want to slander her?"

After hearing this, Lin Su was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

She glared angrily at the beaten soldier and asked sternly, "Why are you scolding me?"

The personal guard was already feeling guilty at this point, and she replied anxiously, "Don't listen to my side of the story. I didn't scold you at all. She was the one spreading rumors. You, the Zhan Yihou Mansion, are relying on your numbers to deliberately slander me!"

Zhan Yan said coldly: "Shadow Soul!"

The secret guards hiding in the shadows suddenly appeared, and the personal soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

She knew that everything she said had been heard by the secret guards, and she had no choice but to admit it.

Without hesitation, she changed her words: "I was so anxious that I lost my mind and said something without thinking. If Prince Li hadn't wanted to punish General Qian and the others, how could I have been so anxious to find Miss Lin? And this old woman is still playing dumb!"

Lin Yiwan was surprised. Was her father annoyed by those veterans?

No wonder the female soldier was so anxious. It turned out that she was planning to ask her mother to calm the fire.

But he chose a stupid guy. Before he even found his mother's yard, he had already aroused public anger in the mansion and suffered physical pain.

The old nanny quickly argued, "I'm not playing dumb. I honestly don't know Miss Lin's name. We all respect her, so how dare we ask her name?"

The female soldier was speechless after being refuted, and her face turned purple and looked very ugly.

Zhan Yan glared at her and said, "The court supports you so that you can wield a sword and kill enemies on the battlefield, not so that you can bully innocent people at will!"

The female soldier also knew she was wrong and apologized reluctantly: "I will never do that again!"

Zhan Yan interrupted in a deep voice, "You don't need to apologize to this Marquis. You drew your sword without permission and bullied an innocent person, so you must be punished by military law. But how do you deal with insulting my mother-in-law?"

The female soldier was so frightened that her whole body trembled. She stammered hesitantly, "It was unintentional. Will the Marquis hold on to this trivial matter?"

Zhan Yan raised his eyebrows: "Why? In your eyes, insulting elders is a small matter? Then why don't I also insult your parents?"
