Shen Qiaochen narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
really……
To be honest, Li Si really disappointed Shen Qiaochen earlier.
To a certain extent, the Shen family in the previous life was defeated by such a fool. To Shen Qiaochen, it was nothing short of a shame.
But now it seems that Li Si is indeed someone who can scheme against Empress Li and the third prince.
Now his wings haven't grown yet, but the ruthlessness and determination he should have have already begun to take shape.
But because of this, it is even more impossible to let go.
For Shen Qiaochen, Li Si like this must be eradicated as soon as possible...
…
Unlike others, Mrs. Li's eyes lit up when she heard this.
She pondered for a moment, but for some reason she didn't stop.
After understanding Mrs. Li's "tacit consent", Li Si became more confident.
He looked at Mrs. Li not far away, hoping that she would cooperate with him.
But when he looked over, he only saw his mother's stagnant gaze.
This caused a flash of panic in Li Si's eyes, but he quickly covered it up.
Li Si secretly told himself that this was only temporary and his mother would definitely understand him.
When one day he marries Lin's daughter and inherits the Li family, no one will remember what happened today.
So now, he must not let "madness" fall on him.
Only if his mother takes it all in, can he escape this disaster...
…
Li Si's eyes flashed slightly, and he kept comforting himself.
Her mother had spoken rudely to Xiao Jue first, so it would not have been so easy for her to escape unscathed today.
That being the case, there's nothing wrong with him blaming everything on her.
At the very least, others would think that Mrs. Li's eldest daughter spoke ill of Xiao Jue in public because she was suffering from madness.
Perhaps, my mother can still survive...
But if he gets involved, his future will be ruined...
He absolutely cannot let such a thing happen...
…
The corners of Li Si's mouth twitched and he kept swallowing saliva.
Yes, he's right.
One day...it will all be worth it.
…
Li Si has always been arrogant and has never bowed his head to anyone.
This time, due to a careless move, he almost ruined his career.
Now, no matter how unwilling he is in his heart, he can only suppress it secretly and show weakness to Xiao Jue.
Li Si thought, he had humbled himself to this point, and if Xiao Jue still wanted any reputation, he should take the initiative to relent.
Besides, his matters are not big or small.
In the final analysis, it was just a matter of Xiao Jue's words.
Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. Now his future was all in Xiao Jue's hands. With no other choice, he could only bow his head temporarily.
Success or failure can only depend on this. As long as he can escape unscathed, the humiliation he suffered today will definitely be repaid in the future...
Whether it's Xiao Jue or that boy from the Lin family, one day he will definitely make them look good.
…
Li Si was immersed in his own emotions, completely unaware that his appearance at this time had already been seen.
Not far away, Shen Qiaochen and others looked at Li Si mumbling words and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Shen Qiaoran leaned close to Shen Qiaochen's ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Is Li Si really crazy? Or does he think he is the only smart person in the world and everyone else is a fool?"
Just looking at Li Si's ferocious face, even Shen Qiaoran, who had the most innocent mind, knew what he was thinking.
Shen Qiaochen smiled, turned his head sideways, and replied in the same subtle voice:
"Of course he doesn't think that others are fools, he just thinks that he is the smartest one."
The voices of the Shen brothers and sisters were extremely low, so others did not pay attention.
Only Xiao Jue, who is on the other side of Shen Qiao and Chen, has outstanding ear power far beyond ordinary people.
Hearing the conversation between the two, he turned his head slightly and glanced thoughtfully at the girl in black next to him.
Shen Qiaochen didn't notice him, but still looked at Li Si kneeling on the ground with interest.
From time to time, he would turn his head and whisper to Shen Qiaoran, as if he had seen something interesting.
From Xiao Jue's point of view, he could only see the girl's porcelain-white profile. After accurately capturing the smile rising from the corner of the other person's lips, Xiao Jue felt that his mood had inexplicably improved.
While upstairs, he could see Shen Qiaochen's expectations for watching the lanterns.
I thought that the little girl had just been kidnapped tonight, so she would be more or less frightened.
Unexpectedly, even so, she still wanted to go to the street like a normal person.
I originally thought that if I followed him, I would be able to fulfill Shen Qiaochen's wishes and let her have fun.
Who would have thought that I would be delayed for so long by something like Li Si...
Xiao Jue looked out the window. Most of the surrounding shops had turned off their lights. With his strong ears, he could naturally hear the sound of the float getting closer.
"It's time to end this farce." Xiao Jue thought.
He lowered his head and looked directly at Li Si for the first time tonight.
I don’t know how Li Chun taught him. He himself was obviously overly cautious, but Li Si, the grandson he valued most, was so virtuous.
Typical of high-minded and low-handed, neither fish nor fowl.
From the look on his face, it was obvious that he had no idea what his grandfather had done today.
But that's right, a city like Li Si's is not much better than his father's.
Li Si was still pleading for mercy for himself and Mrs. Li.
But between the lines, there is more of a desire to excuse oneself.
In Xiao Jue's eyes, such a person is not even qualified to be his opponent.
At best, he's just a clown.
Little Prince Xiao expressed his displeasure at being held up by such a person and delayed for such a long time.
Seeing the float approaching, Xiao Jue became increasingly impatient.
"Tsk..."
The sudden chuckle was particularly obvious in the silent air.
Li Si, who was still chattering, stopped immediately and lowered his head in fear.
But where people couldn't see, he quietly raised the corners of his mouth.
This scene was noticed by Shen Qiaochen, who was staring closely at him.
Shen Qiaochen frowned slightly, feeling extremely disgusted by his pretentious and irresponsible behavior.
The person who insulted Xiao Jue with filthy words was indeed Mrs. Li.
But it was because of Li Si, her son, that Mrs. Li spoke out against Xiao Jue.
Shen Qiaochen has long understood what a mother can do for her own flesh and blood.
However, in order to evade responsibility, Li Si would rather label his mother as "mad" with his own hands.
Doesn't he know what the consequences will be for a woman once she is proven to be insane?
Especially a woman like Mrs. Li, a noble woman from her husband's family. Even if she is not the mistress of the house, with the family background of Zuo Xiangfu, can she tolerate a daughter-in-law suffering from "madness"?
