That high and mighty emperor actually scolded Yuwen Huaji so badly?
And even ordered him to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion?
He originally thought that the best outcome would be that the emperor would not pursue this matter because Empress Xiao and Princess Ruyi liked his poetry and calligraphy.
This result was truly beyond Yang Zhao's expectations.
"Zhao 'er, you really haven't seen His Majesty?”Li Yuan asked again.
"Father-in-law, do you not believe me?”Yang Zhao asked.
"Of course, I believe you. I'm just a little curious. It seems that the Empress and Princess Ruyi have spoken up for you.”
Li Yuan knew that Yang Zhao was an open and honest person, so he didn't dare to question him any further and could only make this speculation.
"Zhao 'er, in the future, I'm afraid it'll be hard on you, but we have to support this family together.”
Li Yuan gently patted Yang Zhao's shoulder, his tone meaningful.
Through today's twists and turns, he could already see that Yang Zhao was not only skilled in both literature and martial arts, he was also a great talent of the present age and had even received the care of the Empress.
From today onwards, his Li family would probably have to rely on the care of Yang Zhao, this poor family son-in-law, in order to avoid Yang Guang's suspicion.
"Father-in-law must be joking. Father-in-law is the dignified Duke of the country.”
Yang Zhao didn't think too much about it and just smiled faintly.
Li Yuan didn't want to expose his father-in-law's incompetence, so he pulled Yang Zhao into the residence.
In the main hall.
The atmosphere was heavy.
"This Yang Zhao is indeed from the countryside and doesn't have much knowledge. He even dared to offend Yuwen Huaji and brought great trouble to our Li family!”
Li Jiancheng paced in the hall, grumbling non-stop.
Lady Dou also sighed." I originally thought that he was talented and that it didn't matter whether he was from a Humble Class or not. Who would have thought that he would cause so much trouble for our family? His Majesty dotes on Yuwen Huaji so much. If he were to anger our Tang Public House, what should we do?"”
Li Xiu Ning didn't say anything. Although her expression was solemn, she didn't seem to be complaining.
"Now that things have come to this, we can only sever our relationship with Yang Zhao as soon as possible. Mother, I think that when I find Yang Zhao later, I will force him to immediately write a divorce letter and drive him out of our Li family.”
As soon as he said this, Li Xiu Ning's body trembled slightly. She suddenly raised her head and glared at Li Jiancheng.
" That's a good idea, but Xiu Ning has just gotten married and she's already divorced. If this gets out, Xiu Ning's reputation will be ruined…"
Madam Dou was conflicted, and she obviously agreed with this method, but she had some concerns.
However, Li Jiancheng advised," At this time, reputation is not important. The survival of our Li family is the most important. Mother, you have to put the overall situation first!"”
Madam Dou hesitated.
"Erlang, say something!" Li Jiancheng glared at Li Shiming, who had been silent all this while.
Li Shi Min was a proud man, and he had long been unable to stand the tyranny of the Yuwen family. Today, Yang Zhao was not afraid of power and dared to teach him a lesson. He still had some admiration in his heart.
However, this matter involved the Li family's survival, and in addition to the fact that he had seen Yang Zhao and Zhangsun Wugou getting close during the day, he was unable to speak up for Yang Zhao.
"Regarding the matter of divorce, it still depends on Sister's own intentions. I don't have any opinions.”
Li Shi Min chose to remain neutral.
Li Jiancheng was unhappy. He looked at his sister and advised,"Xiu Ning, Big Brother knows that this matter will damage your reputation, but for the sake of the survival of our Li family, I can only let you suffer. Moreover, you were originally unwilling to marry him, so taking this opportunity to get rid of him is just what you want.”
Bang!
Li Xiuning suddenly slammed the table and stood up, giving Li Jiancheng a fright.
"Yuwen Huaji's two sons are bullies. They have done evil and acted tyrannically. If they were to find trouble with me, I would also beat them half to death!
Yang Zhao dared to teach him a lesson, at least it proved that he was a man with blood.
She abandoned her husband in order to protect herself. I, Li Xiuning, can't do such a cowardly thing.
Even if I wanted to separate from him, it would definitely not be now.”
In the hall, everyone's mouth was wide open in shock as they stared blankly at the solemn and resolute face.
Li Jiancheng's expression was ugly. He was not only shocked, but also a little ashamed.
Her generous words were clearly mocking him for being a coward.
"Li Xiu Ning, what are you saying? Who are you calling a coward?
I'm clearly thinking about the big picture. For the survival of our Li family, you're simply a woman. Let me tell you, you have to divorce that kid today!”
"Who wants to divorce my good son-in-law?”
Just as Li Jiancheng finished speaking, a deep shout filled with anger sounded from outside the hall.
Had Li Yuan returned, or had he entered the manor with Yang Zhao?
Seeing that Li Yuan had returned safely, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and stood up happily to welcome him.
" Father, it's good that you came back safely. I was actually…" Li Jiancheng saw that Yang Zhao was present and didn't know how to explain.
Li Yuan patted Yang Zhao's shoulder and sternly said,"Let me tell you, as long as Zhao 'er is my son-in-law, he will be my son-in-law for the rest of his life. Xiuning can only have Yang Zhao as her husband in this lifetime. If anyone dares to have any other thoughts, don't blame me for punishing them!”
Everyone's expression changed.
Li Jiancheng shivered and gasped in fear. He hurriedly lowered his head.
Lady Dou was also bewildered. She hadn't expected that Li Yuan's return would not only not blame Yang Zhao for causing trouble, but also protect him like this.
Li Xiu Ning secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Her eyes quietly looked at Yang Zhao. In addition to suspicion, a trace of gentleness quietly appeared in her eyes.
