Since he believed that Su Yu wouldn’t do anything, let him see what Su Yu would do next.
Some people just won’t shed a tear until they see the coffin.
If you go too far, people will have opinions, even if they are relatives.
Two days passed quickly, and Li Linjiang really didn’t send the money over. Without Su Yu instructing Wan Feng and the others, they began to take action against the Li family.
When the Li family’s industry was under attack, Li Linjiang realized that what his father had said was true.
Su Yu was serious, and he wouldn’t give them face.
Li Linjiang found the family head Li anxiously and asked, “Dad, what should we do now?”
“I told you long ago to return the money, but you didn’t listen. You thought they wouldn’t say anything. Do you believe it now?” family head Li said with a calm expression.
Li Linjiang still felt they were not wrong: “I’ll go find Su Yu.”
Watching Li Linjiang leave angrily, family head Li shook his head helplessly.
“Dad, will Big Brother anger the Prince?” family head Li’s younger son, Li Linhe, asked worriedly.
“Yes.” With Li Linjiang’s personality, it was impossible not to anger Su Yu.
“Dad, I’m a bit worried. I’ll go check.” Saying this, he followed up.
Su Yu wasn’t surprised at all by Li Linjiang’s arrival. However, instead of meeting Su Yu, Wang Jinhe, welcomed him, while Su Yu went to the imperial palace.
After entering the room, Li Linjiang saw Wang Jinhe frowning slightly. “Where’s Su Yu?”
Yuan Bao’s eyes were slightly cold. Li Linjiang was too arrogant, showing such an attitude when meeting the princess.
Glancing at the guard beside him, the guard walked behind Li Linjiang and kicked him. Li Linjiang stumbled and knelt on the ground.
“What are you doing?” Li Linjiang glared at the person who kicked him from behind.
“Paying respects to the princess.” Li Linhe wasn’t as foolish as Li Linjiang. He wouldn’t dare to do such a thing at this moment.
“Get up.” Wang Jinhe spoke indifferently, having no favorable impression of the Li family.
Li Linjiang was about to get up when the person behind him kicked him again, making him kneel again.
“The princess asked him to get up, not you.” The guard behind Li Linjiang coldly spoke.
Li Linjiang was so angry that his whole body trembled. He was about to say something when Li Linhe stopped him. “Regarding the previous matter with the princess, our family was in the wrong. We are willing to repay this part of the money.”
“Su Yu gave you two days.” Li Linhe’s face changed slightly as he looked at Wang Jinhe, understanding his meaning.
“Originally, considering the face of Uncle and Cousin Shanshan, Su Yu didn’t want to be too harsh. She gave you two days to decide, but you missed this opportunity yourselves.” Wang Jinhe’s words made Li Linhe’s face change drastically.
Two days were the Li family’s last chance.
“Your family knows very well how much the Li family has used Su Yu for. Since you did it, you should bear all the consequences.” Wang Jinhe played with the jade pendant at her waist.
In these two days, she had learned a little about what the Li family had done.
The Li family really didn’t treat themselves as outsiders, doing everything imaginable.
Li Linhe’s heart skipped a beat. Even Wang Jinhe, a woman, knew what their family had done. Did Su Yu not know?
Was he not coming out because he intended to leave everything to Wang Jinhe to handle?
As Li Linhe was considering what to do, Li Linjiang spoke, “We want to see Su Yu.”
“He went to the palace to see the emperor. Also, a reminder: you should address him as Prince Yu’ and not call him by his name directly.” Wang Jinhe sat on the side, calmly speaking.
“I am his elder.” Li Linjiang said angrily.
How could a woman make an elder kneel on the ground like this? It was truly unreasonable.
“Since ancient times, there has always been a ruler and subject before there is father and son. Even if Li Yan, the uncle, says or does something wrong, if Su Yu wants to take action, no one dares to say anything. What’s more, it’s you? Or do you think this so-called elder can override the relationship between ruler and subject?” Wang Jinhe looked at Li Linjiang with narrowed eyes.
“This se—”
Hearing Li Linjiang’s words, Li Linhe was so scared that cold sweat broke out. He quickly reached out and covered his brother’s mouth, preventing him from continuing.
“Big brother, just say less. Do you still think there’s not enough trouble now?” Li Linhe was almost driven crazy by his own brother.
Did he find joy in provoking people to anger?
And did he even realize the implications of his words?
Wang Jinhe raised an eyebrow, looking at Li Linhe. There was indeed a clever person, but unfortunately, the older brother didn’t seem very intelligent.
Li Linjiang pushed aside Li Linhe. “Shut up. This is not the place for you to speak.”
“Did I say something wrong? As a junior, you should behave like a junior. How dare you make your elder kneel? Such a person should be directly dismissed. What’s the use of keeping him?” Li Linjiang spoke without restraint.
Li Linhe, with a pale face, looked at Li Linjiang. Today’s matter was completely finished.
“Big brother, apologize immediately,” Li Linhe urged through gritted teeth.
However, Li Linjiang didn’t take it seriously at all. Instead, he stood up from the ground, looking at Wang Jinhe with a proud expression. “If you kneel and apologize now, I can still forgive you.”
Li Linhe wished he could slap Li Linjiang to wake him up.
Did he know what he was saying? How dare he speak to the princess in such a tone.
Wang Jinhe looked at Li Linjiang strangely. Since Su Yu became a prince, it was always others who paid respects to him. Now suddenly someone asked her to kneel and apologize. Wang Jinhe truly found it somewhat unbelievable.
” Yuan Bao, What do you think now that someone is asking me to kneel and apologize?” Wang Jinhe asked Yuan Bao with a cheerful expression.
It seemed that Li Linjiang had been praised too much recently because of Su Yu, to the extent that he had forgotten everything.
“If he likes making people kneel so much, then let him kneel in the courtyard himself. He can stand up only when he satisfies me.” Wang Jinhe, chin in hand, spoke with keen interest.
“Wang Jinhe, you…”
“Yuan Bao, if someone dares to stand up midway, each time will be punished with an additional hour, and the penalties will accumulate without limit.” Wang Jinhe, with a smile that was not quite a smile, looked at Li Linjiang.
In Li Linhe’s mind, there were only two words at this moment: it’s over, everything is completely over.
“Oh, by the way, Su Yu only wanted to teach you a lesson before. I only stopped it. Notify Wan Feng to follow the original orders. Stop only when they’ve hit rock bottom.”
“Yes.”
Wang Jinhe instructed and prepared to go to the study.
Li Linhe quickly spoke, “Princess, please wait.”
“Li Linhe, you should be grateful that Su Yu didn’t hear what he said. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be something that could be solved with a bit of family wealth.” Wang Jinhe turned to look at Li Linhe, indicating for him to stop.
Li Linhe remained silent, not saying anything. Indeed, Wang Jinhe’s methods were much weaker than Su Yu’s. If Su Yu were to take action, it would be far worse than just financial ruin.
“Thank you, Princess,” Li Linhe said with a bitter smile.
