Chapter 219: Teach Xie Yushi a lesson
Li Youran sat side by side with his eldest brother and third brother, with the eldest brother on the left and the third brother on the right. His mother did not come as she was busy preparing for the wedding of his second brother!
A woman appeared on the stage, dancing to the music of the piano.
The woman dances in a crescent-colored gauze dress, her sleeves flowing like clear water. The group dances like fluorescent lights, the fairies are agile, they look back and smile, they lean forward to dance, just like fairies under the moon.
The woman was wearing a crescent-colored dress, her sleeves dancing like fluorescent light, her snow-white skin revealed as she danced gracefully, small silver bells dotted the hem of her skirt, and she looked around as she turned around.
The ethereal and clear sound of bells filled the air.
Li Heming felt that the woman in front of him was very familiar. He seemed to remember that it was Hua Hanxi, the courtesan in the brothel!
Why was the courtesan dancing at the birthday banquet? Li Heming didn't understand and could only watch the courtesan dance.
When the officials below saw this scene, their eyes widened. If their wives and daughters had not called out to them, they would not have come to their senses.
After the dance, Hua Hanxi retreated. Before leaving, she looked at Li Heming deeply. She didn't expect that this young man had a different identity.
Li Heming happened to meet Hua Hanxi's eyes, and their gazes were fixed in the air. Hua Hanxi lowered his head and slowly retreated.
Li Heming also came back to his senses, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Li Youran picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth, then wiped the area around his mouth.
Song Nanyao saw all this and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes.
When the banquet was over, Li Youran was preparing to go out with his eldest and third brothers.
But he was blocked by the servants beside the Grand Marshal.
"The Grand Marshal invites Princess Ruixiang to come forward." The servant who delivered the message bowed respectfully towards Li Youran.
"Okay!" Li Youran agreed. She knew that it was Xie Yushi who made the complaint.
"Ran'er, what happened?" Li Yuanbo frowned. Why did he call Ran'er before leaving?
"Third brother will accompany you..." Li Heming was worried and wanted to go over to take a look.
"Then eldest brother and third brother, let's go together!" Li Youran was afraid that his two brothers would worry about his safety.
The servant looked at Princess Ruixiang with some embarrassment.
Li Youran understood what he meant, but still said, "My elder brother and second brother, one is a civil official and the other is a military commander, they should be qualified to go together!"
The servant didn't want to offend these three people, so he could only nod.
He took the three of them to the main hall.
There were only a few maids and servants standing in the main hall, but the commander himself was nowhere to be seen.
There was not even anyone to serve tea or water.
Li Yuanbo saw the trick in this attitude.
"Why haven't they arrived yet? Didn't you invite us here?" Li Heming couldn't sit still anymore and started yelling.
"Third brother, the general is trying to show me his power. I didn't expect you to follow me. Let's wait and see how the general will end this!" Li Youran's eyes suddenly became sharp. She should have guessed it long ago.
"Isn't this clearly bullying?" Li Heming couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go find the Grand Marshal.
"Third brother, don't be impulsive. Let's see when the Grand Marshal will come. We will just wait here." Li Yuanbo grabbed Li Heming's sleeve.
"Then I'll listen to my elder brother and sister." Li Heming sighed. He had never suffered such injustice.
If my elder brother and I left my younger sister behind this time, she would be bullied to death.
Fortunately, I insisted on following.
After waiting for half an hour, the general and his daughter Xie Yushi finally arrived.
He thought Li Youran was the only one there, but when he arrived he saw Li Yuanbo and Li Heming were there with him.
"Lord Shangshu and General Dingyuan are here too! I was negligent."
The Grand Marshal apologized to Li Yuanbo and Li Heming and called the maid to prepare tea.
Li Yuanbo and Li Heming discovered that the Grand Marshal had neglected his sister.
"Rui Xiang greets the Grand Marshal. May I ask what the Grand Marshal wants to talk to me about? And why have I and my brothers been waiting here for the Grand Marshal and the daughter of the Ling family for so long..."
Li Youran looked at the two people in front of him with a smile, and went straight to the point.
"You pushed my daughter into the pond, isn't that wrong?" The Grand Marshal was furious at Li Youran's teasing look.
"My sister pushed Xie Yushi into the water?" Li Heming felt that his ears were not working well. Did his sister need to use such means?
"General Dingyuan, you don't know! Many people saw it at that time!" Xie Yushi said as she shed tears and cried out her grievances.
That pitiful look would make men feel distressed and women feel pity.
"Until the matter is clarified, we cannot conclude that it was my sister who pushed her!" Li Yuanbo directly denied Xie Yushi's one-sided statement.
Li Youran was touched. Even if no one believed in her, her family would stand on her side.
"Yeah, my sister is going to push you into the water, without even using her hands!"
Li Heming snorted coldly and spoke bluntly without giving any face at all.
"You... must give an explanation!" The Grand Marshal was so angry at the two of them that he pointed at them and said.
"Explanation? Then I'll let you see how I let Xie Yushi push me into this!" Li Youran looked at the Grand Marshal who was confused about right and wrong.
Li Youran used his magic power to make Xie Yushi hang in the air and fly straight to the pool outside.
No one reacted, and there was a loud "thump".
Xie Yushi fell into the pool again and was still struggling.
"Dad... Dad, save me!" Xie Yushi struggled desperately.
The Grand Marshal ran out quickly and followed Xie Yushi to the pond.
Li Yuanbo, Li Heming, and Li Youran also came to the poolside.
The servant has already started to go into the water and fish out the wet Xie Yushi.
This time, Xie Yushi was completely infected with a cold, and was coughing and having a runny nose.
I cried and wiped my tears, feeling so aggrieved.
The Grand Commandant saw clearly this time that the title of "Little Goddess" of Princess Ruixiang was not for nothing, she really had divine power! Why did he push his daughter into the water? He was sure that it was his daughter who fell into the water by herself.
"This official... no, no, no, I was blind and offended Princess Ruixiang. It was my fault. Please spare my daughter for the sake of my hard work for the emperor!"
The Grand Marshal knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times to Li Youran.
"Don't think that just because you are the Grand Marshal, I am afraid of you. My mother is the princess of Beiyuan, my uncle is the king of Beiyuan, and the current queen of the Western Region is my cousin... The prince of Donglin was once my subordinate... What can you compare with me?
Do you think this princess is afraid of you, the Grand Marshal? And tell your daughter! Don’t mess with this princess! If you mess with me again, her hands will be in danger!"
Li Youran warned the commander-in-chief word by word that the force behind her was powerful.
The Grand Marshal then realized that Princess Ruixiang was a woman protected by four countries, so it was normal for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be obsessed with her.
Cold sweat began to form on his forehead. How could he be so stupid as to dare to offend this noble princess?
Li Youran looked at the trembling Grand Marshal and sneered in his heart.
These people usually rely on their power to bully others, but now when they meet more powerful characters, they are scared to death.
She decided to let them know that no matter their status, they should not act recklessly.
"Remember what I said, don't provoke me again, otherwise you will bear the consequences." Li Youran said coldly.
The Grand Marshal nodded repeatedly and vowed never to offend Princess Ruixiang again.
He knew that he had escaped this time, but he also knew that he had to be careful from now on and never anger this princess with a strong background again.
He secretly thanked his luck that he did not get into more trouble because of his momentary impulse. At the same time, he was shocked by Li Youran's life experience and background.
From this moment on, he decided to re-evaluate his behavior in order not to get into trouble again.
"I understand, I understand! I will definitely discipline my daughter well!" The Grand Marshal folded his hands and kowtowed to Li Youran to make a promise.
Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Li Youran took his two brothers and left, leaving the Grand Marshal and Xie Yushi in the wind.
In the evening, Xie Yushi was severely scolded by the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal's wife stood by and tried to stop him from beating his daughter.
