The head of the Li family, Li Chengji, coughed twice, and the servants and stewards standing around bowed their heads and exited the room, leaving only Li Chengji and Li Qingsong, father and son.
"My son, have you arranged all the things I asked you to do?" Li Chengji said calmly.
Li Qingsong also stood up at this time. He lowered his head and said, "Father, everything has been arranged..." He wanted to speak first, but hesitated and did not say anything.
"Just ask whatever you want to ask." Li Chengji noticed that he was hesitant to speak.
"Father, I don't quite understand this arrangement. Why should we shift our core industry to the south? The foundation of our Li family is not in the south."
Li Qingsong said doubtfully.
Recently, he seems to be practicing martial arts at home, but in fact he is doing a big thing, which is to transfer the inventory and core industries hidden at home to the south step by step and spread them out.
He followed the instructions and handled the matter himself, but he couldn't understand why he had to do it this way. This was to forcefully split up the Li family.
"I should have kept it from you, but now I'm on the verge of making a move and I have to do it..."
Li Chengji looked serious. He paused and said slowly: "This matter is vital to the lives of our Li family. We cannot be careless at all. If we win, the Li family will certainly bring great glory and wealth, but if we lose, , the Li family will be doomed, so you are the seed of the Li family, and you take away the power lurking in the south, which is the future of our Li family."
Li Qingsong's heart sank slightly. Seeing how serious Li Chengji said it, he even became nervous.
"Father, that's why. Our Li family is in Sixiang City and is a wealthy family in the whole of Daqi. As long as we hold on to our position, everything will be fine. Could it be that our Li family has offended someone?"
Li Qingsong found it difficult to understand. Listening to his father Li Chengji's words, it seemed that the Li family was going to participate in a big event, but the Li family was deeply rooted and there was no need to do anything big.
"Our Li family has no other choice but to follow... If you don't understand now, you will understand later." A trace of sadness flashed in Li Chengji's eyes.
"Father, what should I do?" Li Qingsong stopped asking about the reason. He knew that his father would not tell him.
"Keep the foundation of the Li family and complete all the tasks assigned to you this time. In addition, you will go to the south in two days and don't come back soon."
After Li Chengji said these words, he waved his hand and motioned for Li Qingsong to leave.
Li Qingsong didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he turned and left.
After leaving the house where the head of the family, Li Chengji, lived, Li Qingsong ran towards the back house. The person he wanted to find was the eldest lady, who was his own mother.
In an exquisite villa, he met his own mother, the actual controller of the Li Mansion's inner palace, Mrs. Shen.
Ms. Shen was wearing a luxurious robe, and her every move showed grace. She sat on a chair, looking at her son Li Qingsong who walked in quickly, with a smile on her face.
"Son, why do you have time to see mother?" Mrs. Shen looked at her tall son and said with a smile on her face.
"Mom, I've been busy lately, so I came to see my mother."
Li Qingsong smiled and took out a brocade box and placed it on the table. After opening it, there was a colorful jade Buddha inside, which was very delicately carved, and the jade on it showed colorful light.
"Mother, look, this is the seven-colored Buddha that was consecrated by the abbot of the Lingyin Temple himself. This time I present it to my mother. I wish my mother a long life, good fortune and good health."
"As long as you are in good health, it will be my mother's blessing. I don't ask for anything else." Shen's eyes narrowed as she smiled.
She has always believed in Buddhism, but now she only eats vegetarian food and no longer eats meat. Now this colorful Buddha is certainly precious, but what is even more precious is Li Qingsong's heart.
"Mom, does father come here often recently?" After chatting for a while, Li Qingsong sat next to him and asked.
"Your father, how can he have time to come here? He has a little time to coax the little one." When Li Chengji was mentioned, Shen's face became a little ugly.
"No, my father has been very busy recently. I think he remembers my mother's birthday." Li Qingsong said.
"Qingsong, you are young and not sensible yet. Your father is greedy for sex and sex at heart. He has raised a lot of young ones over the years. If it weren't for your mother and me, who still has some work of packing boxes, he would have given it to me long ago. I'm done." Shen said through gritted teeth.
"Mom, forget about the past, my father is really no better than he was then." Li Qingsong said a little helplessly.
When his mother talks about his father, it doesn't work no matter what he says. The two sides are not human beings.
"You can't change a man's nature. Your father is just like that." Shen said.
"Forget it, Qingsong, let's get together as mother and son today and let's not talk about those things." After thinking about it, Ms. Shen decided not to talk about those things that made her feel uncomfortable.
"I'll have the kitchen prepare a table of dishes later, and let's talk."
Immediately, Shen changed the topic, no longer mentioning the past events or Li Chengji's affairs, but just chatting with Li Qingsong about some interesting things.
"Mom, I'm going to the south recently and won't be able to come back for a long time." Li Qingsong said.
"He sent you to the south? What does he want to do?" When Shen heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows, and a look of anger appeared on her face.
"I don't know, my father means to go to the south to guard the family's property." Li Qingsong said calmly.
"What kind of industry can there be in the south? He wants to assign you. Does he want that bitch to be in power?"
A hint of fierceness suddenly flashed in Shen's eyes: "That bitch is as bitchy as his mother. As long as I don't die, I won't let him get ahead."
Li Qingsong listened to Li Chengji's words and seemed to entrust him with a big responsibility. In fact, it was hard to say whether he was assigned to go to the south.
After all, his relationship with Li Chengji was only average.
Li Chengji is a hero-like figure in the Li family. He has been known as a ruthless person since he was a child.
The Li family has also developed greatly under his hands, even faintly surpassing the Ji family.
You know, when Li Chengji took over the Li family, the Li family was already only the same size as the Ji family, and was in danger under siege from many sides.
It can be said that the Li family was reborn from the ashes in the hands of Li Chengji.
For such a heroic figure, it is his daily practice to keep his emotions and anger a secret. Naturally, his son will not be too close to him.
Li Qingsong stood up and took a few steps, his face looking a little ugly.
"Mom, is it really possible for father to support the second child?" Li Qingsong still didn't believe it.
"Qingsong, when you were young, you never saw how that little bitch confused your father when he was young..."
Mrs. Shen paused and said, "Do you know why your father has been so cold and indifferent to me these years?"
