Li Shiyan had long since prepared himself for Marquis Kang Dinghou to reprimand him, but he didn't expect the old man to be waiting in his room.
In the face of the earth-shattering reprimand, Li Shiyan learned to remain silent and waited for the old man to calm down.
"If it wasn't because you were in General Su's mansion and Minister Zhu respected General Su, do you think I would still be able to put down my old face today?"
"Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. In fact, General Su is helping you. You want to discuss knowledge with someone like you? Even if I believe that a sow can climb a tree, I don't believe that you can make progress. "The Marquis of Kangding was his father after all.
Marquis Kang Dinghou was his father.
Li Shiyan raised his head and said, "Father, how can you say that about your own son?"
"You're my son, why can't I say that about you?"
"But today, I really went to find Ziluo to discuss knowledge. Even if you don't believe me, you can't not believe him, right? Don't tell me that Ziluo dares to collude with me? "
"This …" The Marquis thought about it and felt that it was true.
General Su was an upright person and naturally wouldn't lie to help this stinky brat get out of trouble.
He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Fortunately, Minister Zhu didn't say anything today. Otherwise, how would I face him in court in the future?"
Li Shiyan lazily knelt on the ground, without a proper appearance.
Seeing that his father's anger had almost dissipated, he asked, "Father, do you really want me to marry Minister Zhu's daughter?"
"What? You still don't want to marry her? "
"I'm still young, I still haven't … played enough!" He lowered his head and his voice became softer and softer, just like a mosquito bite.
He felt wronged! When Marquis Kang Dinghou heard this, he angrily rebuked him, "Young? Look at Yan Jing City, those of your age are already married and have several children. You're such a disappointing thing, always causing trouble for me. Now, you only know how to play.
Play, play, play. Sooner or later, the entire mansion will be destroyed by you. "
"How could it be so serious?" "How could it not be so serious? Right now, you're just waiting for this father's title to come and live. Do you think that after you inherit it, you'll be free? I'm telling you, you can't! " The Marquis of Kangding stood up and pointed at his head, saying, "The title of nobility is not your money tree, nor is it your umbrella. If you make the slightest mistake in the future, in the eyes of others, it will be a huge mistake, and the emperor will not forgive you! Who knows, I might even take your head. If you don't live up to expectations now, when I die in the future, who will?
Protect you? It wasn't easy for me to find you such a good marriage with Minister Zhu's family. I can still help you in the future! But if you mess up this marriage, I'll kill you with a single stab of my knife. "
A blatant threat!
Li Shiyan had been threatened countless times since he was young. His ears had already grown calluses from hearing it. He just treated it as if it went in one ear and came out the other. He didn't take it to heart.
In any case, he just had to eat, drink, and sleep. He didn't miss a single thing.
Of course, this wasn't the time for him to be stubborn. He still had to admit defeat.
As if he hadn't eaten, he said, "Yes, your son understands. I will definitely not cause trouble for you, father, and will definitely marry a wife in a proper manner."
"It's good that you know."
"Father's teachings are right." Seeing him like this, Master Hou didn't continue to vent his anger. His expression changed and became slightly gentler. He said, "Today, Minister Zhu's daughter came to our mansion. That child is very sensible and looks clean. After all, she is the daughter of a wealthy family. She is well-educated and considerate. When she found out that you didn't come, not only did she not get angry, she was also very sensible and said that it was fine. But in the end, we neglected her. So, in a few days, you should personally go to Minister Zhu's mansion.
Take it as a way to apologize for my sins. "
What?
Li Shiyan was surprised. "Visit him? So, father, you've decided? "
"Yes, set it to be in three days. After all, we can't drag it out for too long. Your marriage should also be settled as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you cause trouble, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"
"Father, I …"
"Shut up. I've already decided. There's no room for you to say no. In short, for the next few days, obediently stay in the mansion. If you dare to go out again, I will break your legs." Master Hou finished speaking and looked towards the door. He shouted, "Xiao Luzi, come in."
Xiao Luzi, who was kneeling outside, heard the call. He quickly got up and ran in. With a thud, he knelt on the ground. "Master, I'm here."
Master Hou said, "For the next few days, you don't need to follow the Crown Prince. Go help in the kitchen."
"Ah?"
"If you didn't help the Crown Prince in every way, he wouldn't have the opportunity to leave the mansion. If I let you follow the Crown Prince, I'm afraid that you will become lawless."
Li Shiyan hurriedly said, "Father, if you send Xiao Luzi away, who will serve me?"
"There are so many servants and maids in the mansion. Are you worried that there won't be anyone to serve you?"
"But …"
"If you say 'but' again, I will lock you up here. You can eat, drink, and defecate in the house."
Damn!
Even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs!
Li Shiyan truly understood the meaning of this sentence.
However, he still had to rely on his father to make a living. If he used his pride to speak, he would definitely be at a disadvantage. So, he could only bow his head.
"Yes, I understand."
Master Hou glanced at him without leaving a trace. Then, he flicked his wide sleeves and walked away.
Li Shiyan rubbed his knees and got up from the ground. He frowned and kicked Xiao Luzi's shoulder. "You are really useless."
Xiao Luzi sat on the ground. "Crown Prince, you can't blame me for this!"
"Now, I can't go anywhere. If I don't blame you, do you think I can't blame myself?"
"This … this is not what I meant."
Li Shiyan sat down on the seat where his father had just sat. His expression was extremely ugly. Being forced to this point, he was at his wit's end. He stared at Xiao Luzi and said, "Forget it, forget it. Hurry up and get me the medicine."
"Medicine?" Xiao Luzi got up and asked, "What medicine does the Crown Prince want?" "My arm was pricked by Ziluo's silver needles. It's very painful. Go and get me … some painkillers." He took off his outer coat. It was stained with blood. Then, he took off his inner clothes one by one, revealing his muscular arm.
The place where the silver needles had pricked his arm was smeared with blood.
The needle-like wound was bleeding profusely. The edges of the wound had turned purple.
When Xiao Luzi saw this, he was frightened. "Crown Prince, could Sir Su's silver needles be poisoned?"
"If they were poisoned, would I be able to come back alive?"
"Then, what is this?"
"Ziluo's things have always been more poisonous than non-poisonous. I think I will be in pain for a few days. Hurry up and get me some painkillers. I can also rest for a few days."
