Chapter 270 Shocking (1)_1
As a former official in the royal court, the Marquis Li was certainly not as clueless as his eldest son. He was well aware of Chu Suifeng’s criticisms of him, his uncle, but he believed that as an uncle, he had contributed to Chu Suifeng’s rise to power. with the old grandmother still alive in his family, he believed Chu Suifeng would not do anything to him as long as he did not rebel and threaten the existence of Wang Residence.
Amassing wealth, what official did not love wealth. He was indeed a little greedy, but not irredeemable, nor did he pose a threat to the essence of the Northern Land. With this in mind, owning more stores in the south of the city or more estates in his hands was not a big deal at all.
But now, after hearing his second son recount the words of Chu Suifeng, he could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
Being high-profile attracts trouble, Si Jinhan’s words actually represented Chu Suifeng’s opinion. At present, Prince Ling had a deep opinion about the Li Family. What should the Li Family do? Should they play dumb and keep their wealth, or wisely avoid the spotlight?
"Father, I told you to marry Yanran into Wang Residence earlier but you didn’t listen." Li Jiesong, noting his father’s changing expression, grumbled unhappily. "Should we let the old grandmother mention it to the prince?"
"Quiet, what do you know?" It was only at this point that the Marquis Li realized his eldest son was indeed incapable of making decisions. He had no place to be reckless in front of Chu Suifeng, in front of Si Jinhan, or in front of Master Hui Zhen at Ding’an Temple. Even he, the titular Marquis, had to be humble and respect them. But his son not only was reckless, he had managed to offend everyone.
No further investigation was needed about today’s horse-scaring incident.
"We should find out who played tricks behind us and hurt me. Let me get hold of him, I will slash him into eighteen pieces." Li Jiesong was still rambling, wondering who hurt him.
"The matter of the startled horse stops here, no one else is to investigate further." Marquis Li coldly glanced at his eldest son and issued the command.
