In the end, Wang Yue still came down. The branch he belonged to was only one of the branches of the Wang family and was not valued by the Wang family. Even his father did not dare to put on airs in front of the eldest young master of the Wang family.
"I'm really sorry, Brother Li. The Wang family did not teach you well and caused you trouble." Wang Yong looked at Li Yi apologetically. When he turned around, his face instantly darkened and he said coldly, "Quickly apologize to County Marquis Li!"
He was angry not only because Wang Yue had offended someone he shouldn't have, but also because Wang Yue had made friends with someone he shouldn't have. This was something the Wang family could not allow.
The young man named Wang Yue no longer looked arrogant. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "County Marquis Li, I'm sorry. I was wrong."
Hearing his soft voice, Wang Yong's face darkened and he said, "Louder. Didn't you eat?"
Wang Yue raised his head and looked at Li Yi. He said loudly, "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
"Oh?" Li Yi looked at him with a faint smile and asked, "Why don't you tell me where you were wrong?"
Wang Yue was stunned and then he had an urge to cry.
Yes, where did he go wrong?
He just came to have a meal with his friend and did not offend anyone. Why was he blocked here? What did he do wrong?
The young man still could not stand the grievance. As he thought about it, his eyes became a little moist.
Wang Yong said apologetically, "I'm really sorry about what happened today. Brother Li, I will pay you a visit and apologize in two days."
Wang Yong left with Wang Yue.
Paying a visit and apologizing was only one reason. The cooperation between the Wang family and the Li family was more important.
After not seeing each other for five months, he still had a lot of things to discuss with Li Yi.
The people who stayed in the restaurant were a little disappointed. The future head of the Wang Family had come personally, but nothing exciting had happened. It was really boring …
However, Wang Yong's attitude towards that person had truly shocked them.
The situation in the capital was very complicated. If the future head of the Wang family treated him so cautiously, they didn't know if he could still control the big shots that came one after another.
"Eat more vegetables."
"You should eat more too …"
Maybe because the atmosphere was ruined, Ruoqing and Zeng Zuimo were very polite today. Li Yi had to keep putting food on their plates to ease the atmosphere.
It was unlikely that Miss Zeng would pick up food for him. Wan Ruoqing smiled as she picked up the food from a distance and placed it on his plate.
After scanning the three for a long time, the sloppy old man took a big bite out of his drumstick and looked away, unable to bear to look at them any longer.
In a carriage on the street, Yi of Yue and Zeng Zuimo, he couldn't bear.
In the end, he could not help but raise his head and ask in a low voice, "Big Brother, who is that person?"
"Shut!"
Wang Yong glanced at him and said, "I won't tell your father about what happened today, but if you still interact with those people in the future, don't blame the Wang family for being heartless!"
Yong to to to to Wang's words.
What happened today left a deep impression on him. He had never seen his usually gentle brother show such an expression. How could he not take his brother's words to heart …
At the same time, that smiling face left an indelible impression in his heart.
Outside the carriage, a sedan chair hurriedly passed by, heading for a restaurant.
Assistant Minister Wei of the Ministry of Rites rushed into the restaurant and immediately saw the two guards of the Wei family holding their arms. His eyelids twitching, he walked over and asked, "Where's the young master?"
Wei Junliang waved from above. "Father, father, I'm here!"
When Wei Junliang ran down, the officials didn't stop him. Assistant Minister Wei looked at him and asked with a frown, "What's going on?"
Wei Junliang stammered and didn't say a word. Even Young Duke Qin didn't dare to resist when he was slapped. Even Wang Yong had to treat him with respect. As his father, no matter how he thought about it, he wasn't good enough …
"Assistant Minister Wei." County Magistrate Liu walked up and cupped his hands at the man.
"Lord Liu." Assistant Minister Wei recognized him. He looked at him and asked, "What exactly is going on?"
Li Yi tilted his head and glanced at him, saying, "You'll have to ask Assistant Minister Wei's son."
"Who are you?"
Assistant Minister Wei only heard that his son was detained by the officials and hurried over. He didn't know the specifics, so he looked at the young man who interrupted and asked with a frown.
County Magistrate Liu stepped forward and said, "This is Marquis Li."
"Marquis Li?" Hearing this title, Assistant Minister Wei's heart skipped a beat, but he still asked, "Which Marquis Li?"
"Marquis Chang 'an," County Magistrate Liu answered.
This time, Assistant Minister Wei's heart completely sank.
Marquis Chang 'an, Marquis Chang' an, Li Yi. This name was really well-known …
The King of Shu and even Prime Minister Qin's faction had suffered great losses at his hands. It was impossible to estimate how much damage they had suffered. In the current imperial court, the two factions were opposing each other, and this Marquis Li was a key figure in the opposing faction.
Even the Chen family behind him had to avoid him, let alone a mere Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites …
Moreover, as the new Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, he knew better than anyone how he got his position …
Especially after listening to County Magistrate Liu's story, cold sweat began to drip uncontrollably from Assistant Minister Wei's forehead.
It was already hard enough for him to have a conflict with this person, but what was even more frightening was that his side wasn't in the right …
Assistant Minister Wei lowered his head and said solemnly, "It's all my fault for not teaching properly and offending Marquis Li. This official will take him back and discipline him properly …"
Li Yi waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's fine. It's normal for young people to be impulsive. Assistant Minister Wei, there's no need to punish your son too much. It's better to guide him."
Assistant Minister Wei froze for a moment and immediately nodded. "Yes, yes, yes. I understand. Many thanks, Marquis Li!"
At this moment, he was extremely astonished. This Marquis Li was so reasonable and didn't seem as difficult to deal with as the rumors said.
It seemed like he was very easy to talk to …
"Let's not talk about the conflict for now." Li Yi looked at him and said, "However, your son dirtied my friend's clothes just now, I don't know …"
"He should compensate!" Assistant Minister Wei fiercely nodded and said, "This is how it should be. I will make him compensate for this young lady's clothes!"
If everyone was as reasonable as Assistant Minister Wei, it would save a lot of trouble. Li Yi smiled and said, "Since it's like this, I won't say anything else. Assistant Minister Wei, don't forget to deliver ten thousand taels of silver to Willow Alley before tomorrow."
"Of course, one …"
Assistant Minister Wei nodded and then froze for a moment. He asked with some uncertainty, "How much?"
Even if the clothes were completely made of gold thread, they wouldn't be worth ten thousand taels of silver, right?
I must've misheard, I must've misheard.
"A trifling ten thousand taels, Sir Wei definitely won't take it to heart." Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Then it's settled. Sir Wei can take your son away."
He naturally wouldn't take ten thousand taels of silver to heart. It wasn't that the Wei Clan couldn't take it out, but if he really did, he would probably have to pay for his coffin.
At this moment, Assistant Minister Wei finally understood that this wasn't a matter of compensation.
This was a warning and also a deterrent.
If the Wei Clan paid ten thousand taels of silver, then this matter would be settled. Otherwise, his position as the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites would probably have to change.
Assistant Minister Wei didn't doubt that the seemingly harmless young man just now had this kind of ability.
He didn't know how he left the restaurant and walked on the street in a daze. At a certain moment, he was startled awake and hurriedly said, "Quick, quick, to the Chen Estate!"
"Father …"
Wei Junliang had just said one word when he was slapped across the face by Assistant Minister Wei, attracting the attention of all the pedestrians on the street.
"Father, you hit me …" Young Master Wei, who had never been treated like this before, covered his face and said in disbelief, "Isn't it just a county marquis? You are the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites and have Uncle Chen behind you, why are you afraid of him!?"
"How did I give birth to such an idiot like you!" Assistant Minister Wei fiercely glared at him and said through gritted teeth, "Do you know why the previous assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites was imprisoned?"
