But even though everyone in the Li family had cursed Li Si and his son thousands of times in their hearts, they wanted to skin them and cramp them.
But the most important thing right now is to try to ease the relationship between the Li family and Xiao Jue.
After all, it was Li Si and Mrs. Li's mother and son who angered Xiao Jue.
Mrs. Li gritted her teeth. No matter what, she must convince Xiao Jue today that the attitude of Li Si mother and son was not what the Li family meant, and their actions were definitely not instigated by the Li family.
Even for the sake of the Li family's reputation, Mrs. Li cannot be allowed to continue making trouble like this.
If Xiao Jue resents the Li family because of this, then the Li family may not be able to explain it to the Queen...
Everyone looked at the angry rebuke just now.
I saw a group of people coming down from the second floor. The leader was naturally the old lady of the Li family, Mrs. Zhao.
The arrival of the Li family immediately separated a path from the crowd that had formed a circle.
Mrs. Li and the Li family walked over quickly, without even looking at Mrs. Li who was sitting on the ground sobbing softly, but walked straight in the direction of Xiao Jue and the others.
Soon, he arrived in front of them.
As the old lady of Zuo Xiangfu, Mrs. Zhao is now over sixty years old. She came all the way in a hurry. When she got here, her breathing was a little quick. She just wanted to find a place to sit down and rest for a while.
With her status and age, among those present today, she should be invited to the throne.
But this is the lobby on the first floor, so it is naturally not as comfortable and spacious as the private rooms above the second floor.
Mrs. Li's gray eyebrows wrinkled slightly and walked up to Xiao Jue.
But Xiao Jue remained motionless, showing no intention of taking the initiative to greet him.
Zui Jiangyue was already packed today, and just now Li Si smashed a large area of tables, chairs and benches.
There are still many people who have lost their seats, but with Li Si's previous experience, they would rather huddle together far away than sit next to Prince Xiao.
They were afraid that whatever they said would make the young prince unhappy again, they would be the next ones lying on the ground.
So at this moment, the situation in Zui Jiangyue was very strange.
One side of the lobby was full of people, while the other side, with Xiao Jue and the others as the center, had a large area of empty space around them, all of which were empty.
Those who did not reach the other side in time also hid far away, not daring to get even half a step closer.
But Xiao Jue and the others in the center were sitting there calmly and without any discomfort.
Knowing Xiao Jue's attitude, Jiang Fengmian even asked the waiter to bring a pot of good tea in a good mood.
The tea and snacks on the table had already cooled down, so Mr. Jiang Liu, who was always very particular, naturally disdained to eat them.
Shen Qiaoran blocked Shen Qiaochen behind him, reached out to take the teapot handed over by the smiling waiter, poured a cup of hot tea himself, and brought it to Shen Qiaochen.
"Little... uh... dear brother, please have some tea."
Shen Qiaoran changed his words very quickly, and everyone else had their own thoughts, so they didn't pay much attention to his strange title.
Because he wanted to look at the lights, even though it was late at night, Zui Jiangyue's windows were still open.
The evening breeze in spring still carries a bit of coolness.
Shen Qiao worked hard all night and was already a little tired.
In addition, Li Si's behavior also made her a little unhappy.
Therefore, she has been frowning since just now.
At this time, holding the warm hot tea in his hand, Shen Qiao sighed silently, then smiled at Shen Qiaoran, lowered his head and drank the tea in small sips.
…
Seeing that Xiao Jue had no intention of being polite, Mrs. Li had no choice but to take the initiative and said:
"I have met Prince Xiao."
Mrs. Li was the first to speak, and everyone in the Li family also came forward to pay their respects.
There were a lot of people coming to the Li family today, and the voices were rising and falling, making it a little noisy for a while.
There were even several girls from the Li family among them. When they saw Prince Xiao, they immediately forgot about their fourth brother/fourth brother and only stared at Xiao Jue's handsome face.
Jiang Fengmian and Shen Qiaoran rolled their eyes secretly. They had long been accustomed to this scene.
On weekdays, as long as Xiao Jue is around, the eyes of all the girls present are basically on him.
But Xiao Jue never cared about this, and it was the same today.
He just leaned back lazily in his chair, still looking indifferent to the burning eyes of the Li family.
Everyone was used to his temper, and besides, the fourth young master of the Li family really brought it upon himself, so they didn't find anything strange.
Mrs. Li also knew that no matter what the reason for this incident was, in the final analysis, it was a fact that Mrs. Li and her son insulted Xiao Jue in public.
Xiao Jue is the prince's eldest son, and he has always been valued by His Majesty.
But even though his family is said to be Zuo Xiangfu, the entire Li family is now only supported by the Prime Minister.
In addition, the third prince and the queen were just punished by His Majesty yesterday.
Even she, a woman, knows that at this juncture, Xiao Jue, the great Buddha, must not be offended.
The fourth grandson of the eldest son seems to be very talented and well-known on weekdays.
Why did I mess up on this occasion today?
Mrs. Li also learned about the previous events from Zui Jiangyue's waiter.
Knowing that it was his grandson who took the initiative to provoke Xiao Jue, he dared to bring out the name of Zuo Xiangfu in an attempt to intimidate Xiao Jue.
Who does he think he is?
Even Mrs. Li herself felt that Li Si was really overestimating his abilities.
Although there is not much age difference between them, and Prince Xiao is even younger than his grandson, their actions today must have clearly shown their superiority in the eyes of others.
Therefore, even if Xiao Jue's attitude was indeed a bit arrogant, what happened today was indeed the fault of their Li family.
At the moment, in order not to affect the third prince and the queen in the palace, Mrs. Li can only comfort herself secretly. Xiao Jue is the prince's son and of royal blood, and it is nothing for her to bow her head in front of him.
After all, even his own prime minister would have to be wary when meeting Xiao Jue.
…
Of the masters in Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, only Li Chun and Mr. Li Li Jing knew about the kidnapping of Shen Qiaochen tonight.
Therefore, Mrs. Li does not know that the Li family had already severely offended Xiao Jue before Li Si.
The left prime minister's current attitude towards Xiao Jue cannot be described by just "concerns".
Matters in the court often affect the whole body.
Mrs. Li didn't understand political affairs, but she always followed Li Chun's wishes.
Therefore, she was a little confused at the moment.
On the one hand, Li Si's mother and son offended Xiao Jue, which will most likely affect the relationship between the Li family and Prince Yong's palace.
If the third prince still needs the power of Prince Yong's Palace in the future, then the Li family will have to abandon their mother and son to give Xiao Jue an explanation.
But on the other hand, Mrs. Zhao once heard her prime minister mention that she wanted to marry the daughter of the Lin family for the grandchildren of the Li family.
If Li Si can really marry with the Jiangnan Lin family, then Li Si, as the most valued junior member of the Li family, can only be him.
For a time, how to deal with Li Si became a problem for the Li family.
