Li Xuan was startled and looked at Li Yueling in astonishment: "What are you talking about? Isn't dad worried about you?"
Li Yueling was a little irritated: "I have my own sense of discretion in this matter. You should just stay in the house honestly."
Li Xun was choked by her and had nothing to say. Normally, his daughter would not dare to give him a look, but this time was different from the past.
In his current situation, he can only rely on his daughter to protect his prosperity and wealth.
Li Xuan said nonchalantly: "Then you have a good rest." After saying these words, he left in despair.
After he left, Li Yueling fell weakly on the chair, looking a little confused.
No one knew how she was feeling at this moment. There was no joy, only deep suffering.
As a noble girl, is she destined to give up everything and lose herself for the sake of family interests?
But now, she has no way out. Ever since she betrayed Han Qianyu to save King Jing with a desire to take advantage, it was destined that she would not be able to look back.
The honor, disgrace, and future of the Li family are all tied to her alone.
Three days later.
Mu Yun'an held a flower appreciation banquet in the palace and invited the noble ladies from the capital to the palace for the banquet.
This is a rare opportunity for the noble ladies of the capital, because since the new emperor ascended the throne, the harem has been vacant and neither queens nor concubines have been established. There is no one to prepare for the palace banquet, so they naturally have no chance.
Early in the morning, there were many carriages parked in front of the palace gate, and there was an endless stream of people coming to the banquet. All of them were dressed up and wanted to outshine everyone else.
Li Yueling was also invited, and among the family members of demoted officials in the capital, she was the only one with this qualification.
As soon as I got off the car, some ladies looked at me strangely, and some of them even pointed.
Li Yueling just pretended that she couldn't see her. She straightened her clothes and walked toward the palace gate. She heard someone behind her say: "Ah, isn't this Miss Li?"
Li Yueling didn't even need to turn around to hear this annoying voice. Wasn't it Su Qing'er?
She didn't want to pay attention at first, but after thinking about it, she stopped and turned around, saluted her and called out: "Sister Su."
Su Qing'er turned aside and said, "No, I can't bear your gift. Who doesn't know that Miss Li is a popular person in front of His Majesty?"
These words sounded envious, but in reality they were sarcastic.
Li Yueling smiled: "I don't dare to take these words seriously. I just did what I should do."
Su Qing'er chuckled. She covered her lips with a handkerchief as if she heard some joke.
Li Yueling frowned: "Why are you laughing?"
Su Qing'er clicked her tongue twice and said in a strange voice: "If I remember correctly, when Han Qianyu was still the daughter of the prime minister's house, you and she had a "deep sisterly love".
When someone was in trouble, she turned to you for help, but you betrayed her and now you have prosperity and wealth, don't you feel ashamed?"
Li Yueling's face darkened and she said coldly: "Miss Su, do you want me to harbor criminals and end up being executed?"
Su Qing'er said: "That's not what I meant, I just think you are very scary. Standing here stepping on the blood of your friends, don't you have nightmares at night?
I heard that Han Qianyu is dead. Do you think she will be willing to do so before she dies? Will she come to settle accounts with you?
I know there is a very efficacious temple in the capital, do you want to go and pay homage to it for peace of mind?"
How could Li Yueling not hear the viciousness in Su Qing'er's words? She gritted her teeth and glared at Su Qing'er, wishing she could tear her mouth apart.
At this time, I heard a man's cold voice coming from behind: "I don't think it's necessary."
