Chapter 265 Hatred After Humiliation (3)_1
Li Jiesong’s face flushed a deep red, seething at the monk who dared to curse him. He thought it unbearable, but he could only seethe inwardly and dared not show any disrespect to Hui Zhen. "Thank you for your reminder, Master. I will certainly fix my ways, meditate on Buddha, and keep a vegetarian diet when I return home," he said.
"Your Highness." Compared to Li Jiesong’s arrogance, Li Jieyong conducted himself with much more decorum.
"Vegetable oil, soy sauce, and bean products are businesses that I had promised to leave to her. When you return, let the Marquis know not to entertain any more thoughts of scheming against the Lin Family’s business," Chu Suifeng said bluntly. He left no room for politeness for the brothers.
"Yes, yes. We had good intentions of wanting to develop these three businesses. Since Your Highness and Miss Lin have an agreement, we will surely explain the situation to our father when we return," interjected Li Jiesong, eager to express his thoughts, not waiting for Li Jieyong to speak.
Li Jieyong almost choked on his own blood in frustration at his brother’s ignorance. The Prince had already expressed his discontent, why would he bring their elders into it? If he had simply admitted that it was their idea, maybe the Prince would have been less angry.
"Quite so, the Marquis receives a monthly salary. Have I ever treated him unfairly?" Chu Suifeng cast them a cold glance.
"No, Your Highness has always been generous to the Marquis. The Marquis has never been short of his monthly allowance. We, the younger generation, were just concerned about the many expenses in the Residence, added with our coming of age, have considered finding business opportunities to gain experience, and to also contribute to the Residence," Li Jieyong quickly amended. "We will never act on our own again."
Even if he knew that Chu Suifeng was aware of his lies, he had to keep up the pretense. Both parties needed an avenue to save face.
