Mrs. Zhao knew what Mrs. Shangshu meant by saying this. She just wanted to tell her that Mr. Li was so confused because he was instigated by others. However, how could Mr. Li have no backbone at all? If others instigated him, he would fall for it and start plotting. He has been there since he was a child.
Grown-up brothers?
Since Bin'er was tricked by Yue'er last time, Cheng'er has stopped interacting with Bin'er. She naturally knows that Cheng'er is worried about being implicated. And because Bin'er failed to live up to expectations in the past, Lord Shangshu naturally does not want Cheng'er to associate with him.
.
In fact, she was shocked when she heard that the person who plotted against Bin'er was Mr. Li. Perhaps it was because of Bin'er's trust that she was not prepared for him.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was silent, Mrs. Shangshu was worried that Mrs. Zhao would not believe what she said, so she quickly asked: "Sister, you don't believe what my sister says?"
Mrs. Zhao smiled slightly and said helplessly: "Don't say that they grew up together, didn't we sisters do the same? How could I not believe my sister's words? It's just that there is no evidence at the moment. It is precisely because Bin'er believed in him that he
There is no defense against Cheng'er. Now Bin'er seems to be nothing, but as a mother, I know that he is more sad than anyone else. After all, the person who plotted against him is his brother since childhood. "
"My sister's words make me feel ashamed. It's because Cheng'er didn't live up to expectations and easily believed what others said." Mrs. Shangshu said.
"Sister, since the matter has passed, let the children handle it on their own. If Cheng'er really knows that he was wrong, he will definitely confess to Bin'er." Mrs. Zhao said.
Mrs. Zhao did not know that this matter was related to Yue'er. Although she listened to Mrs. Shangshu's words, she did not expect that this matter would be related to Yue'er.
"My sister is right. When Cheng'er recovers, she will go to the Zhao Mansion in person to plead guilty. I hope that my sister can speak well to Bin'er in front of him," said Mrs. Shangshu.
"This is natural, don't worry." Mrs. Zhao said.
The two of them had not seen each other for a long time and talked all morning. Madam Shangshu finally let go of her uneasy heart. Madam Zhao was not an unreasonable person. When she saw Madam Shangshu sincerely apologizing, she gave her a
steps.
After seeing off Mrs. Shangshu, Mrs. Zhao asked her grandma to go to the young master's yard to invite Mr. Zhao. On the way to the main courtyard, grandma told Mr. Zhao what happened to Mrs. Shangshu's visit just now.
Mr. Zhao entered the house and saw that his mother was in a good mood, so he asked: "Mother, it seems that Mrs. Shangshu has coaxed you well."
"She came here specifically to apologize, and she was very sincere. Naturally, I had to give her a step up. After all, the relationship between the two families is good. However, she repeatedly emphasized that Cheng'er would not plot against you. She must have been provoked by others. Bin'er, you have
What do you think?" Mrs. Zhao said.
"Maybe he did this because he was confused." Mr. Zhao said.
Mr. Zhao didn't tell the truth. This matter made his mother know that she would definitely not let it go, so it would be better to hide it from her.
"If someone really instigates, whose instigation will he listen to? Is it Mr. Qin or Mr. Liu?" Mrs. Zhao said.
"It probably has nothing to do with them. It was Brother Li's idea for us to get together that day. I guess they felt a little surprised, so they hid away." Mr. Zhao said.
"Cheng'er would rather be beaten and punished than say a word. It seems that he defends this person very much. He didn't even mention a word to Mrs. Shangshu, let alone Princess Pluto." Mrs. Zhao said.
Mrs. Zhao was a little confused in her heart, who was worthy of Cheng'er's protection. But Mr. Zhao understood that all this should be for Yue'er.
He was a little confused as to why Yue'er would do this. Since she was already engaged, she would be the bride in February next year, so why would something happen?
Since he came back, Yue'er has caused a lot of trouble. He reminded Yue'er many times, but he doesn't know if she has a long memory.
"Mother, since the matter has passed, don't mention it again. If he does it again in the future, I will teach him a lesson myself." Mr. Zhao said.
"Speaking of which, you are brothers who grew up together. What he did is really abominable. You also know that we are family friends with Shangshu's family, and Cheng'er's mother and I also grew up together. Is this a big deal?
Big, small is not small
, If Chenger is really taken advantage of by others, he is also a brainless guy." Mrs. Zhao said.
"Didn't Master Shangshu teach him a lesson?" Mr. Zhao said.
"In the past, my mother only thought that you two were equally unsatisfactory. When I mentioned you two, my head ached. Now I know that you did it on purpose, but he really did not live up to his expectations. If you have time, please persuade him.
Don't let him go on like this." Mrs. Zhao said.
"Don't worry, mother, I will go to Shangshu's Mansion soon." Mr. Zhao said.
Sure enough, in the evening, Mr. Zhao went to the Shangshu Mansion to visit Mr. Li. Mr. Li also thought that Mr. Zhao was here to ask questions, and even though he felt sorry for him, he didn't know how to say anything.
"Are the injuries on your body feeling better?" Mr. Zhao asked.
"Well, it's much better." Mr. Li said.
"No matter why you did this to me, I will forgive you this time. However, I still want to advise you, for the sake of your father, you should fight for your words and don't continue to be decadent." Mr. Zhao said.
"You know why I am like this, but you still want to persuade me?" Mr. Li asked.
"It is precisely because of this that the Li family can only rely on you in the future. If you continue like this, will you be worthy of your mother?" Mr. Zhao said.
"I thought you came here to ask for punishment, but unexpectedly you started to care about me," Mr. Li said.
"Do you think I really don't know why you suddenly plotted against me? I don't want to expose you in front of the princess. We have been brothers for many years, and I don't want to admit that you would do this. But in fact, you do
She plotted against me for that person. However, if something happened to you, it would be inconvenient for her to come to visit you, but has she ever sent someone close to you to come and see you?" Mr. Zhao asked.
"You know everything?" Mr. Li asked in surprise.
"After all these years, for whom would you do this for? Princess Pluto gave you fifty strokes. I heard that your uncle also gave you a lesson after you came back, but you didn't even say it in the end. How can I not know what you are thinking?
?Do you think Princess Pluto didn't find out? She just didn't expose you." Mr. Zhao said.
"Actually, I'm also a little puzzled. You are her cousin. Even if she doesn't like you, she won't be like this. I didn't expect that she just provoked a few words and I listened." Mr. Li murmured.
"Since the matter is over, I don't need to pursue it any further. You can recover well and maybe you can still attend the palace banquet. I advise you to think more about your uncle and aunt, and don't continue to be so confused." Mr. Zhao said.
"Brother Zhao, why do I think that your temperament has changed a lot since you went to Licheng? What happened to you in Licheng that makes you different from before?" Mr. Li said.
"How come even Brother Li thinks that I changed my temper after going to Licheng? I thought Brother Li is the person who knows me best, but it seems that I am just being sentimental." Mr. Zhao said.
Mr. Li suddenly recalled what happened when he was a child. Mr. Zhao talked passionately about what the future should be like. He remembered that Mr. Zhao once mentioned that his mother was not good to his younger brother, and he also vowed to protect this younger brother. Who knows what will happen in the future?
He said that he was more dissatisfied than anyone else. At that time, he thought that Mr. Zhao had been stimulated by something. Seeing that his persuasion had no effect, he stopped persuading him. In addition, due to his own affairs, he also became like Mr. Zhao.
The same, living in confusion every day...
Could it be that Mr. Zhao has been pretending for so many years?
"You have been planning it since that time? But why did you do this?" Mr. Li asked in surprise.
Mr. Zhao said: "You know my mother's temper. If I didn't plan well at that time, Xu'er would have been gone long ago. I don't want my mother to hurt Xu'er, let alone make my mother sad. I can only pretend to be crazy. Because I want to
After clearing some things up, I planned to go to Licheng."
"But because of what happened last time?" Mr. Li asked.
"So, after using me to get close to King Mo, I gradually discovered that she has been using me all along. Brother Li, she is not as innocent as we see, it's just that we were deceived by her." Mr. Zhao said.
"Let's talk about Mo
His Highness did not punish you because he noticed something?" Mr. Li asked.
"It should be so, otherwise how could I get hit?" Mr. Zhao said.
"In the past, I was worried that I would be implicated and alienated you. This time, I went even further and plotted against you. I never thought that you would come to persuade me regardless of your past grudges. I am really ashamed of you and I don't know
What should I say?" Mr. Li said.
Mr. Li did not lie. He was really ashamed of Mr. Zhao. He had been his friend since childhood and fell into the trap because he trusted him. Fortunately, Mr. Nanfeng appeared in time, otherwise he would really have been tricked by him.
He was obsessed for a moment, and after seeing the letter written by Yue'er to him, he agreed immediately. Although he felt strange, he did not delve into the matter. Now that he thought about it, Yue'er was indeed taking advantage of him.
"You don't need to say anything, as long as you sincerely change your ways. From now on, don't let your uncles and aunts down, and come back as soon as possible after taking the exams." Mr. Zhao said.
Mr. Zhao can forgive Mr. Li, not only because the two families are family friends, but also because of their friendship. I hope that Mr. Li will know his good intentions and be able to obtain fame as soon as possible and be able to share the burden for his uncle in the future.
As for Yue'er's mistakes, he will not pursue them this time. However, he will still go to his house to remind Yue'er not to forget his identity.
"You are about to catch up with mother. She won't stop nagging you." Mr. Li said.
"Brother Li, I'm going to get married soon." Mr. Zhao suddenly said.
"Getting married? To whom? Is it really related to Miss Houfu?" Mr. Li asked.
"Because of rumors, I haven't come to propose marriage yet. I don't know if the Marquis will agree. You also know that I failed to live up to my expectations before. I am the one who proposes marriage when the Marquis sees me, so I'm afraid it won't go so well." Mr. Zhao said.
"Now that you have been appreciated by His Majesty and made a fourth-grade official, I think the Marquis will not stop you, right? Wait, I finally understand Yue'er's intention. That's what she thought, no wonder she asked me to do this. About
The Marquis must have heard about this rumor. As a result, it will be even more difficult for you to propose marriage. Fortunately, the person staying in Yanyu Tower is not you, otherwise the Marquis will definitely be furious. It's all my fault.
If I hadn't listened to Yue'er, how could I be so confused?" Mr. Li murmured.
