The remnants of the Li family.

As soon as Mrs. Wang's four words came out, Li Zhining's face instantly sank.

Even Fang Yue was taken aback when she saw Li Zhining's expression.

In Fang Yue's impression, although Li Zhining's life experience was a little miserable, most of the time, this little girl still gave Fang Yue a feeling of innocence and eccentricity, and from time to time she would have a poisonous tongue.

At this time, this kind of serious and angry expression was the first time Fang Yue had seen it.

Fang Yue subconsciously took two steps forward, wanting to reach out and hold Li Zhining.

But Li Zhining only glanced at Fang Yue lightly: "Master, this is my business." You should take care of Shang Zun Elder first. ”

Fang Yue was stunned when she saw this. It was only at this time that he really realized that his apprentice was really the prince of a country who had seen his parents die tragically.

The gentleman was angry, and millions of corpses were ambushed.

It's not about fun.

Fang Yue thought for a while, stopped meddling in the conversation between Li Zhining and Mrs. Wang, and turned around to take care of Shang Susu.

Li Zhining turned his head to look at Mrs. Wang, his eyes were cold: "First, the Qin Guoying clan destroyed my Li family, it was a dispute between the two countries, and I have nothing to say." But I hope you remember that whether it is the Ying family or my Li family, they are all princes who have been inherited for hundreds of years under the command of the War Emperor. You, a little Mo family who relied on fooling the current Qin Jun to ascend the throne, why did you make a big fuss in front of me? Dare to call me a remnant?"

Without waiting for Mrs. Wang to speak, Li Zhining continued: "Second, as the prince of a country, I will be the rightful monarch of Chu when I am an adult. The two people you looked down on just now are my personal teacher, and the other is also a respected elder who takes good care of me and respects me. In a sense, they and your husband should be the same status as national teachers, you are a woman, how dare you treat them like this?"

Li Zhining ignored Mrs. Wang's appearance of wanting to speak, took a step forward, and said in an aggressive tone: "Third, I don't care what agreement you have between the Mo family and Shang Zun. But as long as Shang Zun Chang doesn't pass through the door of your Mo family for a day, she represents the Academy of All Souls instead of your Mo family. If you wantonly attack the missionary of the Academy of All Souls, I guess my Academy of All Souls will not turn a blind eye to this account and let it pass. Heh, Mrs. Wang, is it possible that you are going to publicly express your contempt for the Ten Thousand Souls Academy on behalf of the Mo family?"

Li Zhining asked three questions in a row, every sentence was reasonable, and his words were sharp. For a while, Mrs. Wang, who was still arrogant and domineering before, completely lost her confidence.

Under Li Zhining's step-by-step pressure, Mrs. Wang subconsciously took two steps back, and her voice trembled slightly: "You...... How are you going?"

Li Zhining smiled: "How am I doing?" Before the ascension of the war emperor, there were those who obeyed the order and did not respect the monarchs of the four kingdoms, Li Liu Cao, and should be beheaded. What do you think you should do today if you don't respect me first?"

Where did Mrs. Wang think in advance that this harmless little girl in front of her would actually be the prince of Chu State?

Although the War Emperor has been soaring for many years, no one dares to break the rules and regulations he left behind.

Even if the Ying family of the Qin State broke the Chu State, out of awe of the Emperor of War, he still kept Li Zhining's life, and did not dare to make the Li family disobey the Emperor of War's order.

At this moment, Li Zhining moved out of the Emperor Zhan to suppress herself, and Mrs. Rao is Mrs. Wang is used to acting as a prestige on weekdays, and she does not dare to openly show disrespect to the Emperor Zhan.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang had been so frightened that she had lost the ability to speak, Li Zhining didn't bother to continue to pressur. Turning around, he saluted Fang Yue: "Master, what should be done with this person, please also ask the master to decide." ”

Fang Yue looked at Li Zhining, who was frantically glancing at him, and then at Shang Susu, who was relieved but still a little decadent, and finally sighed and said to Shang Susu: "Teacher Shang, this is your business after all, you can make a decision." ”

Although he had already relieved himself, Shang Susu's mind was still a little dazed at this time, he looked at Fang Yue, then at Mrs. Wang, and muttered, "You can go...... The marriage contract between you and me will be null and void. I'll tell my dad about ......"

When Mrs. Wang saw the duck in her hand fly like this, where did she agree? Hurriedly put on a smiling face: "Susu, don't think so." I just said that just to test whether you are firm enough. Now that you have passed the test, I will not say much about your marriage into my royal family. You see......"

"No need. Shang Susu turned his head to look at the blue sky outside the window and waved his hand gently, "I thought that your Mo family would help my father Zeng in the snow to send charcoal to save you for the sake of fire and water, but I didn't expect that you were just coveting the Chamber of Commerce." You go, I won't be far away. ”

With that, he reached out and pressed it lightly on the table. The two strong men in black opened the door and walked in, and stood respectfully beside Mrs. Wang: "Madam, please." ”

Mrs. Wang still wanted to speak, but Li Zhining on the side suddenly snorted coldly: "Don't leave yet, are you really waiting for me and the Ten Thousand Souls Academy to settle accounts with you?"

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang was busy talking, and left Tianhai Pavilion under the "escort" of the two strong men in black.

After Mrs. Wang left, Li Zhining quietly touched Fang Yue's side, tugged at the corner of Fang Yue's clothes, and said in a deep voice: "Master, I just forgot that I still have a medicine that I haven't bought, you wait for me here, I'll go down and buy the medicine and come back to you." ”

After that, regardless of whether Fang Yue agreed or not, she trotted out of the door and went downstairs.

How could Fang Yue not know Li Zhining's little abacus? However, the reason given by this little girl was too reasonable, if she didn't agree to her request again, it would inevitably seem a little moneyless.

Seeing that Li Zhining had already gone downstairs, Fang Yue turned her head a little apprehensively and looked at Shang Susu, who had not spoken for a long time.

I saw Shang Susu sitting on the chair in a daze at the moment, leaning forward, elbows supporting his knees, and his chin resting on his palms. Staring out the window.

The white clothes looked like they had lost their usual fairy spirit, but instead had an indescribable Xiao Suo.

Fang Yue saw this scene in her eyes and was very distressed.

After thinking for a moment, he finally walked to Shang Susu and sat down, and called softly, "Teacher Shang, are you okay?"

"You know what, I really want my dad to be happy. Shang Susu still looked out the window and answered the question, "My mother left when I was very young." It was my dad who single-handedly pulled me up. ”

As he spoke, Shang Susu seemed to have thought of something happy, and the corners of his mouth had a gentle arc.

"Oh, by the way, I remember telling you. My dad has always been busy with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and rarely takes a break, right?"

Fang Yue nodded, there were no illustrations.

Shang Susu smiled: "Actually, it's not that there is no time to rest. It's just that I was very naughty when I was a child, and when I saw that my father was free, I pestered him and asked him to play this and that with me. As for him, although he is very tired, he always meets my requirements. In his words, as long as I'm happy, he's happy. ”

Fang Yue nodded and let out a sigh of emotion: "Ling Zun is a good person. ”

Shang Susu tilted his head: "A businessman, I don't know if he is a good person." But he must be a qualified dad. ”

"So you have to find a way to keep his inheritance?" Fang Yue seemed to understand Shang Susu a little.

This girl wants to keep the Chamber of Commerce, and the starting point is not for profit, but for her old father.

Shang Susu stroked his hair and smiled: "Don't think of me so noblely." My father's relationship is definitely one thing, but who do you think will let go of such a big gold mine as the Chamber of Commerce?"

Fang Yue smiled knowingly: "If it's me, I will definitely not let it go." Who would have nothing to do with money?"

Shang Susu nodded, as if he agreed with Fang Yue's theory: "So, when my father was seriously ill and the elders of the older generation in the Chamber of Commerce began to move, I found my father and began to discuss countermeasures with him." ”

"Like joining the academy?" Fang Yue asked.

Shang Susu let out a soft "um": "It was my idea to join the academy. But it's actually funny to say, you can't believe it, my dad has been on the road for so many years, and he really has always treated them as brothers who live and die, and never thought about guarding against them. So, when he was seriously ill and some people started to play Xiao Jiujiu, my dad panicked too. ”

Fang Yue opened her mouth in some surprise: "Ling Zun really didn't leave some means of checks and balances?"

Shang Susu shrugged: "This really doesn't - have you ever wondered why the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce can become so big in just a few decades?"

Fang Yue was stunned when she heard this: "I really didn't think about this. ”

"Because my dad really treats the people under him as brothers. Shang Susu looked out the window, and there seemed to be some emotion in his eyes, "No matter what you do, it is the word of righteousness first." That's why everyone worked hard with him, overcame all kinds of difficulties together, and finally made the current achievements. ”

Fang Yue pursed her lips: "Then I should probably understand - the entire Chamber of Commerce is united completely because of Ling Zun's personal charm, once Ling Zun has any accidents, the Chamber of Commerce is likely to fall apart because of the loss of the backbone?"

Shang Susu sighed and nodded: "That's right." Among those elders, there are actually some ambitious people. It's just that no matter how crazy they are, they have received too much favor from my father, and as long as my father is still alive for a day, they don't dare to make mistakes easily. But if my father is gone, they won't give me another female face......"

Fang Yue frowned: "That Ling Zun's illness, is there no way at all?"

Shang Susu shook his head slightly: "No way, we even asked Lin Lao before that." There was no way for him to reply. With Lin Lao's strength, he said that there was no way, so there should be no one in this world who can return to heaven. ”

Fang Yue gritted her teeth, and said in her heart, maybe I still have a way?

But now is obviously not the time to talk big, and Fang Yue will not be completely carried away. He only pursed his lips: "Then have those elders begun to act now?"

Shang Susu frowned tightly and nodded: "Hmm." Although relying on Lin Lao's medicine, my father can still hang a mouthful. But according to Lin Lao's words, his time will not exceed two years. After those elders heard the news, although they still obeyed my father's leadership on the surface, they had already begun to make some small moves behind their backs. As long as my dad is gone, they're going to have a hard time......"

"So you found the Mo family?" Fang Yue looked at Shang Susu with some concern.

Shang Susu's eyes raised slightly upward, and his expression seemed a little helpless: "That's right." Actually, this was my father's idea. You may not know that he Mo Yun is actually a friend who grew up with my dad in open crotch pants. When he was young and down, my father always helped him, and even paved the way for him to enter the officialdom of the Qin State. Later, seeing Mo Yun grow bigger step by step, my father took the initiative to cut off contact with him in order to avoid suspicion. I thought that at this time, he could help us, but who knew that he was a white-eyed wolf......"

Fang Yue was distressed when she heard this, and said, "Is there no one willing to help you?"

Shang Susu smiled when he heard this, and his smile was full of bitterness: "Do you want to hear the truth?"

Fang Yue was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Shang Susu replied, "If you want to help, there are still a few elders on my side. But as far as I know, they've just not been strong enough to do it directly against me like the others. So I chose to take sides, hoping that I could win, and they could protect their interests. ”

Fang Yue was shocked when she heard this: "There is no true affection?"

Shang Susu smiled and shook his head: "If you want to say that when they were as poor as my father, they had true feelings." But now, all of them are rich and powerful, and the original friendship has long been eroded by interests - speaking of which, I feel that I am not even as good as the little girl who knows it. ”

Fang Yue was stunned when she heard this: "What does this mean?"

Shang Susu sighed: "You see, she and I are both at the end of our rope. But the people on my side are all fighting for their own interests. Although she is still driven by interests, there are still many people with integrity who choose to follow her to return to the country. If you really want to talk about it, I'm a loner. ”

With that, he leaned back in his chair and smiled bitterly at himself.

Fang Yue saw Shang Susu's appearance, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable.

What a good girl, how did she encounter such a thing?

Pity, distress, love, all kinds of emotions instantly fermented in Fang Yue's heart, and finally made Fang Yue blurt out a sentence.

"Isn't that still me?"

When Shang Susu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then glanced back at Fang Yue, his expression softened a little: "I know what you want to say, but now with the strength of the two of us, even if we add up, we can't defeat those elders...... I can't bear my father's hard work to be handed over like this......"

Fang Yue's heart was hot, she stood up, and shook her head with a serious expression: "Cowardice before a battle is not a hero's doing. Just watch, I'll find a way to help you. ”

Then, Fang Yue hesitated, but still patted Shang Susu lightly on the shoulder: "I'll go first." You have a good rest. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and there will definitely be a way. ”

After that, he turned around, forcibly suppressed the feelings in his heart, and went out.

Shang Susu looked at Fang Yue's back as she left, the sadness on her face gradually dissipated, and finally she laughed softly and muttered.

"This idiot. ”
