Chapter 11
This maid was obviously very panicked and afraid, naturally because she was afraid of the King of Chu.
The couple Li Guogong showed the same expression for the first time.
"You talk about King Chu?"
Why did the King of Chu come to them?
Duke Li did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly sorted out his clothes and welcomed him out with Duke Li's wife.
Arong hesitated for a moment.
The King of Chu is a foreign man. Although the dynasty does not pay much attention to the defense of men and women now, there are still rules that should be taken.
She and Yan Ning are dressed up at home now, so it's okay for her to do it, but Yan Ning is already very ill and can still stick here at this moment, just to get justice for her. Arong really doesn't know whether she should take Yan Ning to the side room next to the upper room, so as not to let the King of Chu, who is quite famous in Kyoto, see the unsightly side of him and Yan Ning.
Although Arong had no desire for the King of Chu, no one wanted her bad-looking side to be seen. So she hesitated for a moment and was about to ask her third brother Jiang Wei to help her send Yan Ning to the side room, but she saw Yan Ning, who was buried in her arms, struggling to poke her head out.
"Is it the prince?" she asked in a low voice.
Because she cried for too long, her voice was hoarse.
At this moment, her face was filled with tears, and she looked pitiful.
Arong's heart suddenly became soft.
"What's wrong?" she asked in a low voice.
Jiang Wei wanted to speak but stopped.
Seeing that Arong obviously didn't know that he and Yan Ning had already met the King of Chu in the yard, Yan Ning seemed to be full of strangeness towards the King of Chu, and he didn't know where he had expected and depended on him, he opened his mouth and was about to explain to Arong, when he heard a voice from Duke Li Guo who had heard a trepidation from outside, "I don't know that the prince is coming and he is missing, so I'll ask the prince to atone for his sins."
Duke Li really didn't know that King Chu was here today. If he knew, how could he have time to waste time here for his wife and Duke Li's wife?
He had already gone to the old lady to serve and welcome the King of Chu.
Otherwise, if the King of Chu passed by the mansion, as the princess of the Li Kingdom, he was not here or was busy with family affairs. Wouldn't this be disrespectful to the King of Chu?
When he thought of the unknown number of lives in the hands of King Chu, even Duke Li was a nobleman, he couldn't help but fight with the two sides.
What made him feel even more confused and frightened was that he had no idea that the King of Chu came to the house today and what was the purpose of coming to the room.
If you want to give the old lady a birthday gift, then the King of Chu obviously came out of the old lady's room, why did he come to see him again?
"Nothing." The King of Chu obviously did not explain why he came to find Duke Li. His slender legs crossed the high threshold of the upper room of Duke Li's mansion, and he didn't care that the maids in the Duke's mansion stood aside tremblingly. He walked into the upper room with a covered body of wind and snow, standing at the door of the upper room, his tall and heroic body obscured the sunlight outside the door, and brought in the howling cold wind.
But he stood at the door and his eyes fell on a soft collapse directly opposite him. A beautiful girl was looking over with a beautiful girl.
The little girl was lying in the girl's arms, as if she heard the sound of him entering the door. She suddenly raised her tears and looked at the door with her eyes.
It seemed as if he wanted to see the backer, and the King of Chu frowned slightly.
He quietly glanced at Duke Li who was smiling apologizing.
"Prince?" Duke Li Guo saw that the King of Chu's face was calm and solemn, and he could not see any expression, but his cold look made him uneasy. He couldn't help but look at the room in confusion, and saw that the room was still in chaos just now. A mother and daughter were lying on the ground and hugging each other, and a little girl was crying with tears on the soft collapse.
This messy scene made Duke Li suddenly embarrassed and ashamed. He felt that his family's misfortune was seen by the King of Chu. He didn't know how the King of Chu thought about Duke Li's mansion now, but he could only glar at Duke Li's wife with force, and then smiled and said, "This... some family affairs. The little sisters quarreled, and my wife and I were having a headache."
He underestimated it.
Obviously, I don’t want the King of Chu to know what good things Jiang Huan did.
Arong took a deep breath and her eyes became even more disappointed.
Although she understood that her father didn't want the King of Chu to know about her family's shame, she did not expect that the Liguo Guild would cover up Jiang Huan in such an understatement.
Since... her father knew that pushing a weak girl into the water was a bad thing that no one could know, it meant that Duke Li knew the right and wrong.
But he knew how cruel Jiang Huan did, but he protected her here.
"Father, how can you perfunctorily treat the prince?" Arong hugged and tried her best to support her body and look at Yan Ning, who was looking at the King of Chu, and said calmly, "It's not a quarrel, it's obviously a murder."
She was about to say more, but suddenly heard a woman's cry. After that, the outer room where Duke Li was very beloved, Chu rushed to Yan Ning and her in tears, knelt on the ground and cried to Yan Ning, "Miss, please give us Ahuan a way out! She is such a pitiful child. She is not as good as the cousin's gold and jade, and can't compare to the cousin's wealth and food in the Duke's mansion, and enjoy honor and glory. She was pitiful as a child. Please spare her this time because of her hardships and difficulties for so many years!"
She leaned on the ground and kowtowed to Yan Ning and said, "I am her mother. I will kowtow to her cousin for her and admit my mistake. Please spare her."
A beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes knelt in front of Yan Ning and kowtowed to her. She looked very pitiful.
Yan Ning vaguely withdrew her gaze and looked at the beautiful woman who was so close to her and kowtowed to her all at once.
She didn't react, but the crying and kowtowing that came to her face made her feel suffocated.
"How dare you force Aning like this!" Arong has always been smart and was furious when she saw Chu kowtow to Yanning.
In front of the King of Chu, Chu was an elder, but he looked so bullied that he kowtowed to Yan Ning in tears. What did the King of Chu think?
Wouldn't this make King Chu think that Yan Ning is an aggressive girl who even bullies her elders?
If the King of Chu was a careless man, he would not even have to listen to the dispute between Yan Ning and Jiang Huan at this moment. He would only think that Yan Ning, a girl, had a bad character.
If it is a girl with virtue, how could she force an elder to kowtow and admit his mistake?
Arong was so angry that she trembled all over. If Yan Ning hadn't been lying in her arms, she would have gotten up and dragged Chu out in person.
"Grand girl, I know that my identity has hindered the wife and you. But Ah Huan is innocent, she is a poor child. Please forgive her for the sake of Ah Huan being your dear girl."
Chu knew that Arong was smart and could make the decision in this mansion, so she cried and begged.
Jiang Huan was stunned, lowered her head, and then fell to the ground and started crying.
"Grand girl, you have been asking Ah Huan to kneel for a few days. Can't you vent your anger?" Chu was crying and saying something, but he heard Yan Ning crying in a slight and delicate manner. At this moment, a cold air seemed to be coming from Chu. After that, a tall and handsome man had slowly walked past her and sat in a chair on the side of the collapse. She was stunned and saw that the King of Chu, who was very famous in Kyoto, was sitting directly aside. His pair of water eyes full of tears flashed, and he kowtowed to Yan Ning more and more.
Yan Ning has never seen such a shameless person.
She struggled to crawl out of Arong's arms, and saw that Duke Li seemed to be coming to deal with Chu's family. She quickly turned her head and said to the King of Chu who was beside her with tears in her eyes, "I didn't bully people with power. They are bad people."
Her voice was extremely aggrieved.
The King of Chu said "um", without raising his eyes, and ignored the crybag beside him who was rushing to explain to him.
He just said lightly, "Since you have made a mistake, it is appropriate to kowtow. Keep going."
His voice was solemn, obviously thinking that since Chu knew that he had made a mistake, he would not be innocent and pitiful to Yan Ning at this moment. On the contrary, the person who made the mistake should kowtow to the victim and apologize.
Therefore, the King of Chu did not care about everything Arong was worried about just now, but just listened to the sound of the crybag, as if she had probably cried a few times, otherwise she would not have even been hoarse. She frowned and watched Duke Li hurriedly ordered the maid to serve him hot tea, took it over and took a sip, and suddenly looked at Chu who was kneeling in front of Arong and Yan Ning.
"Why don't you kowtow?" he asked suddenly with a heavy face.
Chu looked at the King of Chu in disbelief.
At this moment, she knelt in front of Arong and Yan Ning, and suddenly felt like a jumping clown.
"Prince, this is my concubine." Duke Li felt extremely distressed when he saw that Chu was crushed by the King of Chu's words, and felt that Yan Ning was too much. At this moment, he asked his elders to kneel in front of him and didn't even reach out to take it. He hurriedly stepped forward and said to the King of Chu, "A little family affairs. A little family affairs."
He tried hard to hope that the King of Chu would not take these things to heart, but the King of Chu had already frowned and looked at him with some displeasure and asked, "A concubine made a mistake, kowtowing and apologizing is the right thing to do. Is there any reason why she did something wrong and asked the masters and girls to apologize for her? She just knew the right way, why don't she continue to apologize now?"
Duke Li looked at the outer room where his forehead was already red when facing the majestic gaze of the King of Chu.
The face of Duke Li Guo's wife calmed down. She ignored anything else and glared at Duke Li coldly, then explained to the King of Chu, "I asked the prince to make a joke. The mother and daughter in the outer room who were just dealing with the inappropriate behavior of the Duke, so she neglected the prince."
"Is it wrong?" The King of Chu slowly squatted the hot tea in his hand on the table, and let out a dull sound, causing Duke Li to subconsciously shudder.
