Li Qiao knew his brother's character. He knew that he was a womanizer and that he was ignorant and incompetent.
But like Li Wenshi, he didn't care about these things.
As long as he didn't cause any big trouble!
Who would have thought that he would cause such a ruckus at the Respectful Minister's residence?
She even chased the heir all over the courtyard!
Before Li Qiao could say anything, Gong Chi, who was beside him, spoke up first and shouted, "Stop!"
It was very loud.
Full of deterrence!
But the three people in the courtyard did not hear anything.
They continued to fight!
Li Qiao's face was filled with anger. With a stomp of his feet, he soared up and leaped behind Li Cheng, grabbing the back of Li Cheng's collar.
"Ah Cheng, stop!"
Drag him back!
Li Xiang was like a helpless little chick, still maintaining the posture of swinging the stick. He turned his head and saw his elder brother standing behind him.
"Brother?"
"Stop it right now! “
The person Li Cheng feared the most in his life was not his sister Li Wenshu, nor his father Li Wenshi, but his big brother Li Qiao.
What he remembered most vividly was seven years ago. At that time, he brought along a bunch of little Luoluos and ran to the General's Mansion of Ning Kingdom to steal peaches. Initially, he thought that each of them would steal one and then leave. But in the end, he stole more and more peaches, to the point where he could no longer stop himself. In the end, he stole all the peaches from the entire peach tree in the General's Mansion, leaving nothing behind. Only afterwards did they find out that Ning was the one.
The peach trees in the General's Mansion were all bestowed by King Huyi! Moreover, more than half of the peaches were sent to the palace every year, but they were stolen by Li Cheng and his gang. The King of Huyi was furious and fined the General of Ning a year's salary.
Later, this matter was investigated and it turned out to be Li Cheng's doing!
General of Ning Kingdom had to swallow this grievance because he was the heir of Marquis Pingyang, so he had to swallow this grievance himself.
However, when General Ning Guo was chatting with Li Qiao, he accidentally mentioned it!
Li Qiao was furious and directly dragged Li Cheng to the Ning Kingdom's General's Mansion. He wanted Li Cheng to plant a hundred peach trees in the backyard of the Ning Kingdom's General's Mansion to atone for his crime.
At first, Li Cheng did not take it seriously and thought that he was just putting on an act. Who knew that Li Qiao would directly take a whip and supervise him all day long. If he did not work, he would whip him. At that time, Li Cheng was beaten very badly.
His body was riddled with wounds, but he did not dare to utter a single word. In the end, it took him a month to finish planting the 100 peach trees.
Therefore, from then on, no matter how stubborn he was, he did not dare to provoke Li Qiao. After all, he did not want to experience the pain of being whipped again.
At this moment, being roared at by Li Qiao, his heart was trembling. He loosened his grip and the wooden stick fell to the ground.
"Bang!"
"What are you doing here?"
"Brother, I …"
"This is outrageous!"
Li Cheng didn't dare to say anything. He just glared at Gong Shilin.
The manservant supported the exhausted Gong Shilin and asked, "Young Master, are you alright?"
Gong Shilin gasped for breath and said, "I'm fine."
Gong Chi quickly walked over. Looking at the smashed flowers, plants, and bottles in the courtyard, the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano.
Suddenly, it sprang forward.
He questioned, "What the hell is going on?"
The manservant immediately reported, "Marquis, it was Crown Prince Cheng who ran over and insisted that Young Master break off the engagement with Miss Li. Young Master refused, so Crown Prince Cheng beat Young Master up. He almost …"
"Ah Xiang!" Gong Shilin stopped him. He scolded, "Don't say anymore."
"But Young Master …"
"You talk too much."
The manservant shut up and no longer spoke.
Gong Chi was surprised. Was it because of his son's engagement with Li Wenshu?
Thus, he turned to Li Cheng, "Ah Cheng, was it your idea to let Shilin break off the engagement? Or was it your father's idea? "
Li Cheng, "It was my idea."
Gong Chi's face darkened. "You are no longer a child. Why are you still so insensible? The engagement between Wenshu and Shilin was decided by me and your father. In the end, it should be decided by the elders. How can you interfere? "
Li Cheng swallowed his saliva.
Li Qiao tried his best to restrain the anger in his heart and asked Gong Shilin, "Shilin, are you hurt?"
Gong Shilin rubbed his hands. "I'm fine! Actually, this matter has nothing to do with Li Cheng. I was the one who offended him with my words. "
"I don't need your kindness!" Li Cheng roared.
Gong Shilin, "…"
Li Qiao pulled Li Cheng. "You still dare to talk too much!" Then, he said to Gong Chi apologetically, "Gong Zuo Xiang, let's talk about the matter we were discussing just now later. I will bring Ah Cheng back first. I apologize on his behalf."
"Mm." Gong Chi nodded.
But he was obviously unhappy.
Before leaving, Li Cheng stretched out his finger and pointed at Gong Shilin. "Just you wait!"
Don't leave after school.
Li Qiao raised his hand and slapped the back of his head. He scolded, "Bastard!"
Li Cheng touched the back of his head that was hurting and left dejectedly.
After leaving the Gong Residence, the two of them got on the carriage.
Back to the residence.
Li Qiao's face was gloomy. It was a typical look before a storm.
He said, "Do you know what you did just now?"
"I know!"
"Know? If you knew, you still dared to mess around? It's fine if you cause trouble at home, but now you caused trouble here. Don't you know what kind of person Gong Zuo Xiang is? Gong Shilin is his son. Offending him is the same as offending Gong Zuo Xiang. Do you know how serious the consequences are? "
He threw a few "I know" at Li Cheng.
Li Cheng said, "Big Brother, if you had told me in the letter that my sister was going to marry Gong Shilin, I would have immediately rushed back to Gaoding to stop it."
"It's already decided!"
"But …"
"Enough! Don't say 'but' anymore. You made Gong Zuo Xiang very uncomfortable just now. Wait until we get home and see how I will deal with you. "
"…"
When they get back, there will be a big storm!
Li Cheng shrank his body.
When he thought of the whips he received in the past, he felt a chill down his spine.
However, he was unwilling to see his sister marry Gong Shilin.
"Big Brother, my sister doesn't like Gong Shilin at all. If she marries into the Gong family, she will definitely not be happy."
"This matter is not something you and I can control. It is also not something that Wen Shu and Shi Lin can control. In short, in front of Father, you are not allowed to mention this matter."
"…"
"Also, did Father tell you that he wanted you to go to the city department?"
"He did."
"This official position is because of Gong Zuo Xiang's help. It will be of great help to you when you become an official in the future. So, you better obediently go to the City Department and don't cause trouble."
Li Cheng was dumbfounded!
When he was told to become an official, he already could not accept it.
But now he was told that his official position was because of Gong Zuo Xiang's help.
