Li Chengqian is not a good person, but he is also not a bad person.
Facing this brother who had grown up with him since childhood, he really couldn't be cruel.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to bring Li Ke back in the first place.
But now, seeing the other person hugging and crying in front of him, Li Chengqian couldn't bear it.
He stood up and came forward, took his head into his arms, and said, "Okay, let the past be bygones."
"Even if someone remembers our ugliness and sin, we still have decades to change it."
"Don't think too much, and don't ponder too much."
"I don't blame you for many things. If I want to blame, I can only blame fate. It's the injustice of fate, and it's the creation that manipulates people."
Li Chengqian patted Li Ke on the back and said, "Okay, what do you guys always say when you cry? If outsiders see it, they will all laugh out loud."
"I'm not afraid of them laughing their heads off."
"After all, I've lost all my face a long time ago, and I'm not afraid of losing it again."
Li Ke clenched his fists tightly and said, "I really regret it. I regret it all the time."
"But as you said, if you are wrong, you are wrong, if you do it, you do it, and it cannot be changed."
"All I can do is spend the next few decades changing the world's view of me, and then..."
Li Ke bit his lip and said, "How can I make up for those people I have hurt..."
"How do you want to make up for it?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.
Immediately afterwards, Chang Sun Chong, wearing a bright red official robe, walked in from outside.
When he saw Changsun Chong, Li Ke was stunned on the spot as if he had seen a person struck by lightning in front of him.
When he came back to his senses, he looked at Li Chengqian with a puzzled expression.
Although he had told Li Chengqian more than once that he wanted to have a private chat with Changsun Chong.
But he also said that he wanted Li Chengqian to tell him in advance.
After all, this kind of thing requires preparation in advance.
But today, he really didn't know that Li Chengqian also invited Changsun to rush over.
At this moment, Li Ke forgot to cry or even what he wanted to say just now.
It was as if his butt was equipped with springs and he jumped up from the chair.
"Brother... elder..."
Li Ke faced Changsun Chong and hesitated for a long time, without even uttering a complete sentence.
The main reason is that he doesn't know how he should face the other party now.
At this time, Changsun Chong was also the first to give him a step down.
Changsun Chong waved his hand casually and said, "You are the prince and I am the minister. Just call me by name."
"Chang...Changsun Lord."
Finally, Li Ke called "Sir".
Changsun Chong nodded, then came to Li Chengqian, cupped his hands and said, "I'd like to see you, Your Highness."
"You're such a bitch!"
Li Chengqian tapped Changsun Chong's nose from the air and said, "Are you still talking to me like this?"
"Wearing official robes, it's not like that if you don't salute."
Changsun Chong replied with a smile.
"Then take it off."
Li Chengqian waved his hand and said: "This is a private occasion, and what we are talking about is not official, so there is no need to be so official."
"Oh well……"
Changsun rushed over without hesitation and started to take off his official robe directly in front of the two of them.
When he took off his official robe, he unceremoniously sat opposite Li Chengqian.
"I thought His Highness would invite me over today."
"What she did was probably my sister."
Although Changsun Chong's straightforward character has improved in recent years.
But after all, there was no need to beat around the bush about the matter we were talking about now, so he simply said it directly.
Changsun Chong said: "As for us, no one should hide anything from anyone, and no one should hide it."
"I'm telling the truth. I took the time to talk to my sister a few days ago."
"My sister's attitude is very firm and decisive."
As he spoke, Changsun Chong turned to look at Li Ke who was standing aside.
When he found Changsun Chong's eyes drifting towards him, Li Ke subconsciously straightened his body.
This wasn't an act, he was really nervous.
In addition to having a guilty conscience, he was also nervous about the answer Sun Pingting gave her brother.
What Chang Sun Chong said next made him sigh in relief.
Zhang Sun Chong said slowly: "My sister's attitude is very firm, she just wants to believe in you again."
And before Li Ke could say anything, Li Chengqian next to him interrupted: "What do you mean?"
Hearing this, Changsun Chong turned his head and met Li Chengqian's eyes.
"Your Highness, we have been together since childhood."
"In total, it has been twelve or thirteen years since you were eight years old to today."
"And I know you, and you naturally know me."
"So, your question is very unnecessary."
The meaning of Changsun Chong's words was already obvious.
It is nothing more than saying, I understand your personality, Li Chengqian, and I also understand your skills, Li Chengqian.
At this time, does it still matter whether you agree or not?
Even if you disagree, will you, Li Chengqian, give up your idea?
Of course it's impossible.
At this moment, Li Chengqian could naturally understand what the other party meant.
He couldn't help but sneered, and then smiled and said: "You understand me, but you understand me."
"In that case, just make a statement."
"My brother is right here. You can see whether it works or not."
"I can't guarantee that Pingting will be dozens or hundreds of times better than before when she gets married."
"But what I can guarantee is that this kid will never have the chance to bully Pingting again."
Li Chengqian patted Li Ke on the shoulder and said, "If it happens again, I will crush him to death myself without you having to do anything."
"Yep……"
"You don't even need to take action from your royal brother."
Li Ke rushed to say: "If I bully Pingting again, lay a finger on her again, and make her unhappy again, I will pinch myself to death."
Upon hearing this, Changsun Chong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.
"Just let it go."
"I can't play with you two brothers."
Changsun Chong leaned on the table and sighed softly, and said: "I, Changsun Chong, may be the next head of the Changsun family, or the eldest son of the current Changsun family."
"After all, I only have one wish, and that is to make the eldest grandson's family better and better, and to make my eldest grandson's brothers and sisters better and better."
"And to be honest, I haven't forgotten what happened before to this day."
"I remember Pingting being covered in blood, and I also remember her shouting at the top of her lungs, brother, take me home."
"So to be honest, I really don't want to nod this way."
"However, this matter has reached this point, and I can't say anything more."
Changsun Chong looked at Li Ke and said seriously: "Today, I will also say this to Your Highness, King of Shu."
"The reason why our eldest son's family let go is entirely because your sincerity moved Pingting, not anyone else."
From here, it is not difficult to see how upright Changsun Chong really is.
His words almost contained Li Chengqian and the royal family.
After all, as people said, it's not because of anyone that I can relax.
In other words, they only agreed to it entirely because the parents' grandson Pingting wanted to do it.
Otherwise, they won't give this face no matter what...
