The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Chapter 198 The Princess's Will is the King's Will

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Li Zhao.

Li Zhao's face was already as black as the water used to wash the pot.

He finally understood why Huo Zhanting suddenly reported him for no apparent reason!

That so-called evil dog, what kind of evil dog is that? It's just an evil woman!

This new bride from the second room has just married into the mansion, but she has already caused chaos everywhere!

Not only did she cause him to be reported by Huo Zhanting, but she also expressed her love for Huo Zhanting in front of him!

A newly married woman, but she's thinking about another man! How is this different from openly cheating on her stupid nephew?

If this matter were to be known by outsiders, he would not care about the reputation of the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion. I'm afraid that the reputation of their Li family would be trampled under the feet of everyone!

Thinking of this, Li Zhao took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, stood up, saluted Huo Zhanting, and said directly:

"It was the new wife of the Li family who spoke rudely. Please ask the Zhan Wangfei and the old Zhan Wang to calm down. Shen, why don't you kneel down and apologize to the Zhan Wangfei?"

Li Zhao said this and then shouted coldly at Shen Qingli.

Shen Qingli was so frightened at this moment that she couldn't help but tremble.

After all, Marquis Jing'an is her father, so Shen Qingli is naturally not afraid of anything, but Li Zhao is different.

Since she has married into the Li family, she is a member of the Li family. If her in-laws heard and saw the nonsense she said with their own eyes, what good will there be for her to stay in the Li family in the future?

More importantly, she is obviously no longer able to get close to Huo Zhanting now. If she offends Li Youyun, she will not even be able to get the first-rank imperial edict in the future!

Immediately, Shen Qingli knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth, kowtowed firmly to Shen Qinglan, and spat out a few words from between his teeth:

"It was my sister who was talking nonsense. Please forgive me, sister!"

At this moment, Shen Qingli represents not only the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, but also the Longxi Li Family.

Shen Qinglan naturally wouldn't make things difficult for Li Zhao. After all, they were officials in the same dynasty, and Li Zhao had given Huo Zhanting enough face, so she naturally wouldn't let Li Zhao lose face.

Shen Qinglan smiled gently and said to Li Zhao:

"Lord Li, there is no need to be so polite. Lord Li is in charge of the Ministry of War, and he must have a good relationship with our War King."

"When our War King is on the battlefield, Lord Li is always in charge of the rear to ensure the smooth transportation of supplies. Here, I would like to thank Lord Li for his integrity and honesty."

"So, it's such a small matter, and the lord didn't mean it. It won't affect the friendship between Lord Li and our War King."

Huo Zhanting sat in a wheelchair, looking at Shen Qinglan with smiling eyes.

She spoke in a humble and polite manner, not being unreasonable, yet showing her pride and not letting others look down on her.

After listening to Shen Qinglan, Huo Zhanting looked at Li Zhao and said with a smile:

"The princess's intention is the king's intention."

When Li Zhao heard Shen Qinglan's words, he was shocked, but he couldn't help but applaud Shen Qinglan silently.

The words of Princess Zhan not only saved the face of both parties, but also subtly improved the relationship between Li Zhao and the Zhan Palace.

On the surface, he was praising his integrity, but in fact, he was also hinting and reminding him that he should never easily expose Shen Qingli's guilt.

Of course, the most important thing is that even if Shen Qinglan was clearly threatening and reminding people secretly, it would not make people feel uncomfortable at all.

Li Zhao couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Such a good bride should have belonged to the Li family.

If his nephew could marry such a bride, the second house would no longer be so chaotic!

It is said that marrying a virtuous wife will bring prosperity to three generations. No wonder Prince Zhan puts Princess Zhan first at this moment.

Although he felt sorry, Li Zhao still stood up and bowed to Huo Zhanting and Shen Qinglan, and said seriously:

"Princess Zhan is right. In that case, I will not bother you any more."

Having said this, Li Zhao paused, then looked at Shen Qingli again, a few traces of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said to Shen Qinglan and Huo Zhanting:

"Don't worry, Prince Zhan and Princess Zhan. I will take good care of the vicious dog in my home and prevent it from hurting anyone again."

Huo Zhanting smiled and said, "I am not feeling well, so I won't see you off in person."

Li Zhao even said politely, then glanced at Shen Qingli and said with a sullen face: "Why don't you come back with me?"

At this moment, Shen Qingli not only lost her initial arrogance, but also lost the mood to pretend to be pitiful. She just looked at Marquis Jing'an hopefully, hoping that Marquis Jing'an could say a few words for her.

Jing'an Hou had already made up his mind and said to Li Zhao:

"I am truly ashamed of myself, my dear in-laws. It is because my wife did not teach Li'er well that she behaved inappropriately. Since Li'er has married into the Li family, no matter how the Li family disciplines her, our mansion will not object."

Shen Qingli looked at Marquis Jing'an in shock and despair!

She knew that Marquis Jing'an had abandoned her!

In order to curry favor with Shen Qinglan and the others, Marquis Jing'an simply abandoned her!

Doesn’t Marquis Jing’an know what she will face if she returns to the Li Mansion at this moment?

Logically speaking, if Marquis Jing'an could protect her more, the Li family would not go too far no matter what happened.

But now, isn’t Marquis Jing’an’s words trying to distance himself from her?

How could he be so cruel?

Li Zhao nodded slightly at Marquis Jing'an with a forced smile, and without saying anything, he asked his servants to carry the already limp Shen Qingli and leave Prince Zhan's Mansion.

Zhao Chunlan wanted to help, but under the scorching gaze of Marquis Jing'an, she dared not say a word.

Seeing this, Marquis Jing'an looked at Huo Zhanting and the others, sighed and wanted to say something, but Huo Zhanting was obviously impatient, and waved his hand and said:

"Let's stop here for today. For the sake of the princess, I don't want to embarrass you. However, if you do it again next time, don't blame me for being rude."

"King Zhan is right. When I return home, I will definitely teach my wife a lesson. However..."

Marquis Jing'an smiled with a hint of flattery, paused, glanced at Shen Qinglan, and then said in a roundabout way:

"Your Majesty has not yet rewarded those who have made contributions to the Battle of Lihe. I wonder when the War King will submit this memorial?"

After Marquis Jing'an said this, how could Shen Qinglan and Huo Zhanting not know what he meant?

This is to ask Huo Zhanting to say a few good words for him when writing the memorial!

No wonder he would rather give up Shen Qingli. It was just because he was standing on the greater interests, and his daughter's kinship became less important.

Huo Zhanting glanced at Shen Qinglan, as if asking Shen Qinglan what to do.

Jing'an Hou was a smart man, so he naturally noticed Huo Zhanting's little move. He immediately looked at Shen Qinglan and wanted to say something, but Shen Qinglan spoke directly:

"In public, he is well connected, but in private, he is biased. The War King is a fair man. He will seek rewards for his merits and punishments for his mistakes. Marquis Jing'an does not need to worry about anything."

Marquis Jing'an was somewhat dissatisfied when he heard Shen Qinglan's address to him.

After all, he has not been included in the royal imperial edict, but he is obviously so alienated from his biological father!

But in the end, Shen Qinglan's words made him feel relieved.

As long as Huo Zhanting has not forgotten his contribution and can include a mention of him in the memorial requesting the seal, then today's trip will not be in vain.

Marquis Jing'an immediately took Zhao Chunlan away and was very tactful not to say anything more.
