Mr. Li did this this time because of the news sent by Chun'er, and the rumor was naturally not spread by Mr. Li. He and Chun'er had discussed it before, so as not to make people suspicious, let Chun'er wait for the news at the City God's Temple.
When there is news here, his cronies will go to the Chenghuang Temple. After Chun'er sees it, he will find someone to spread the rumors.
As a result, even if there is an investigation, it will be difficult to determine who is spreading the rumors.
It's just that Young Master Li didn't expect that Young Master Zhao was in Hades' Mansion, and that Princess Hades would actually investigate the matter. He couldn't betray Yue'er, but he couldn't escape the beating. He had no choice but to admit defeat. He was dragged out and beaten.
After a pause, the guards personally took Mr. Li back to Shangshu Mansion.
When Master Shangshu saw Mr. Li being carried back, he was immediately panicked. Seeing that the person who came was not kind, Master Shangshu had to ask, "I wonder what trouble my son got into outside? Could you please bring him back? Thank you very much, brothers."
"
"We are from the Palace of Hades. Mr. Li made a mistake and was punished by our master, with a fifty-fifty rod." said the guard.
"It turns out that it's someone from Pluto's Mansion. It's because the child is ignorant and has offended His Highness Pluto. I will personally come to apologize to you one day." Master Shangshu said.
"Young Master did not offend Your Highness, he just made a mistake and was punished by our princess. As for the reason, you can wait until the Young Master wakes up and ask him personally." After the guard finished speaking, he left the Shangshu Mansion.
When Mrs. Shangshu heard that Mr. Li was injured, tears of distress fell down her face.
Said: "What trouble did this child get into again? Why was he beaten like this?" Mrs. Shangshu said.
"Ask him, what trouble did he get into again?" Master Shangshu said.
"The news about Mr. Zhao came out early this morning. Could it have anything to do with our son?" Mrs. Shangshu asked worriedly.
"Go and ask the doctor to come over quickly. Let's take a look at Cheng'er's injury first." Lord Shangshu said.
After the doctor examined Mr. Li's injuries, he gave him medicine for internal and external use. After applying the medicine, it took a quarter of an hour for Mr. Li to wake up from the pain.
"Mother, am I going back to Shangshu Mansion?" Mr. Li asked.
"You bastard, what did you do to offend Princess Pluto?" Master Shangshu asked.
"I, I didn't do anything, and I don't know why I offended Princess Pluto. Father, there's nothing wrong with the child. He was just beaten." Mr. Li said with a grin on his face.
"If you didn't do anything to annoy Princess Hades, how could she hit you for no reason? Do you think this matter has anything to do with Mr. Zhao?" Master Shangshu asked.
"Last night, did you go to Yanyu Tower with Mr. Zhao and others?" Madam asked.
"I have gone, but I don't know anything about Mr. Zhao. As for why Princess Pluto is angry, maybe it is because she is pregnant and has a bad temper." Mr. Li said with twinkling eyes.
"Sir, Cheng'er is still injured. If you have anything to say, please wait until he feels better before asking. I'm afraid Cheng'er is still hungry after all the hard work. I'll cook some of his favorite dishes myself. Master, aren't you still asking for work?
Are you busy? Why don't you go to the study yet?" the lady said.
Lord Shangshu reluctantly followed his wife out of the house. After she sent him to the study, she went to the kitchen.
At this time, Mr. Zhao also returned to the Zhao Mansion. Mrs. Zhao heard the news of Mr. Zhao's return and hurried to Mr. Zhao's yard.
When Mr. Zhao saw his mother coming in with an anxious look, he knew that her mother must be very anxious.
He comforted her and said, "Mother, my child has made you worried."
"What on earth is going on? Did you really go to Yanyu Tower?" the lady asked.
Zhao Gongzi said: "Master Li came to see me yesterday, and I thought about what happened before, and I had some intention of taking advantage of them, so I planned to treat them to a drink as an apology. I didn't expect that I was tricked by Master Li and poisoned in the wine.
I got the medicine. Fortunately, Mr. Nanfeng took action in time, so I escaped. The person who stayed in Yanyu Tower last night was Mr. Li."
"The rumors outside were so sudden that they really shocked me. You are also really, if you feel sorry for yourself, just go to the restaurant to sit around, why did you go to Yanyu Tower again? This incident caused such a fuss
There is such an uproar, how could Anlinghou Mansion not hear it? If Anlinghou has misunderstood you, he will definitely not agree to your marriage. What on earth does Mr. Li have in mind, and why did he do this?" Mrs. Zhao said angrily.
"In Pluto's Mansion just now, Pluto's Concubine had already interrogated him, but he didn't seem to be telling the truth." Mr. Zhao said.
"Didn't he tell the truth? Did someone instigate him behind his back? But, who would have trouble with you? You have never offended anyone before, so what's going on?" asked Mrs. Zhao.
"I don't know the details. Mr. Li didn't tell the truth in front of the princess, and he was punished with fifty sticks by the princess." Mr. Zhao said.
"Aren't you and Mr. Li very good on weekdays?" Mrs. Zhao asked.
"Young Master Li meant that he was jealous that I was appreciated by His Majesty, so he did this. But from the looks of it, it was not for this reason." Young Master Zhao said.
"No matter what the reason is, you have been plotted against you. Now, what should we do? Your Majesty doesn't blame you?" Mrs. Zhao said.
"With Princess Hades here, Your Majesty will naturally know that I have been wronged." Mr. Zhao said.
"But An Linghou can't come to explain, right?" Mrs. Zhao asked anxiously.
"Mother, I know I have made you worry again, but I don't think An Linghou will believe it. The rumor is too sudden, and anyone will think about it carefully." Mr. Zhao said.
Mr. Zhao did not mention Yue'er's matter. If he told his mother, her mother would definitely go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make a fuss. Even if it was really Yue'er who did it, he had no evidence, because Mr. Li insisted that he did it himself, even if he had doubts
There is no way. Princess Pluto has investigated and found that Chun'er has indeed been to the City God's Temple, but Mr. Li's cronies have also been to the City God's Temple. This does not mean that spreading rumors is related to Chun'er.
Mr. Li doesn't admit it, and there is no real evidence, so Yue'er will naturally not admit it either. When the time comes for her mother to make trouble in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister's wife will surely catch her.
Although the poison had been detoxified, his head still hurt, so after Mrs. Zhao left, he fell asleep on the couch.
After the morning court the next day, Master Shangshu hurriedly caught up with His Highness Pluto. He originally thought that he would need to go to Pluto's Mansion to apologize for Young Master Li today, but he did not expect Pluto to go to the morning court.
Master Shangshu caught up with Feng Mingye out of breath, stood up and said breathlessly: "Your Highness, Pluto, please stay."
"Master Shangshu, what's the emergency?" Feng Mingye asked.
"Your Highness Pluto, yesterday the child offended the Pluto Princess, which made the Pluto Princess very angry and scolded the child. I hope that the Pluto Princess can calm down and the child will come to apologize someday." Master Shangshu said.
"Yesterday the princess did punish Mr. Li, but he did not offend my princess. It was because he failed to live up to his expectations and planned for others to be arrested, so the princess punished Mr. Li fifty sticks. Because for the sake of Lord Shangshu, this
The matter was not publicized, otherwise it would have become public knowledge." Feng Mingye said.
Feng Mingye rarely spoke in the court. Master Shangshu thought Feng Mingye would ignore him, but he unexpectedly explained it to him. He understood clearly, it turned out that it was because his son planned to arrest others, so
That's why he was beaten so badly.
He became even more angry when he thought that his son had lied to him. He originally wanted to plead for him, but after hearing Feng Mingye's words, he felt ashamed.
"So it turns out that it's all because of my faulty teachings that I let him come out and embarrass himself." Lord Shangshu said.
"This cannot be blamed on Master Shangshu. He could have avoided being beaten. It was because he refused to tell the truth that he was given fifty strokes. By the way, Master Shangshu may not know what happened. In fact, the people who stayed in Yanyu Tower yesterday
, he is the son of Lord Shangshu. Please take good care of him, Lord Shangshu. You may not have such good luck next time." Feng Mingye said.
After Feng Mingye finished speaking, he hurriedly left the palace.
Lord Shangshu returned to the mansion and rushed into Mr. Li's yard. At this time, Mr. Li was lying on the couch, and the maid beside him was feeding him fruits.
Seeing the minister come in angrily, he quickly stepped aside.
"Father
"What's wrong with you?" Mr. Li asked.
"Tell me the truth, why were you beaten?" Master Shangshu asked.
"Didn't father hear everything yesterday?" Mr. Li said.
"You're still lying to me, are you telling the truth?" Master Shangshu said.
"The son is telling the truth, how dare he lie to his father?" Mr. Li said.
"You bastard, you're still like this and you still don't tell me the truth." Master Shangshu put his foot on Mr. Li's butt and said.
Mr. Li grinned in pain, screamed and said to Master Shangshu: "Ah, father, do you want to kill your son?"
"Are you going to say it or not?" Master Shangshu asked.
When Mrs. Shangshu heard that the master had gone to court, she went directly to the young master's yard. Seeing that the master's expression was not right, he seemed to be very angry. The master did not look like he was going to visit the young master, but rather as if he was going to ask questions.
After hearing this, the lady knew something was wrong and hurriedly came to Mr. Li's yard. As soon as she came in, she heard Mr. Li yelling. When she entered the door, she said: "Master, if you have something to say, please tell me. My son is injured like this. What's the matter?"
It won’t look like this if we continue to fight.”
"Ask him why he was beaten." Master Shangshu said breathlessly.
"Didn't I say that yesterday? Wasn't it because Princess Pluto had a bad temper and beat him a few times? Princess Pluto is real, and she can't just beat people to vent her anger just because she is a princess, right?" said the lady.
"What do you know? Ask him again why?" Master Shangshu said.
"I, I didn't lie." Mr. Li didn't dare to admit.
"If you don't tell me the truth today, see how I deal with you." Master Shangshu said.z.br
"Cheng'er, please tell the truth to your father. What's the reason?" Madam asked with red eyes.
Mr. Li was beaten, and his wife was very distressed. When she saw Lord Shangshu getting angry, she was worried that Mr. Li would really beat Mr. Li if he didn't tell the truth.
Seeing this, Mr. Li had no choice but to say: "The beating yesterday was indeed because I did something wrong, and it had nothing to do with Princess Pluto."
"Tell your mother what mistake you made." Master Shangshu said.
"Father, it's not all about Yanyu Tower. He chose two beautiful girls to stay in Yanyu Tower. This is not a lie. And in the past, when did he care? I didn't expect him to be so careless.
He went so far as to complain in front of Princess Pluto." Mr. Li said.
