Chapter 2639 Prime Minister Jin is not a stepping stone
Why would the Third Prince's wife get into an argument with someone at this critical moment?
Who has the guts to argue with the Third Prince's wife?
Thinking about what happened in the past two days, the answer seems to be obvious.
Shi Li's eyes moved and she looked at Lu Shenyuan with a frown.
Lu Shenyuan was also looking at her. When he saw her eyes glancing at him, he coughed and said, "Half an hour ago, a few people quietly took a shortcut down the mountain. I sent someone to follow them. I'll tell you after I find out their identities."
Lu Shenyuan brought with him elite soldiers and generals, and in half a day, they had re-dug and rebuilt the road leading down the mountain.
When Shi Li heard the news, she immediately decided to return to Beijing.
However, after staying in the mountains for a few days, she was almost plotted against and killed.
She wants to go home and complain to someone!
Shi Li had made up his mind, and immediately asked Liu Shui to pack up his things, take his two younger brothers and guards, and set off down the mountain.
As expected, Lu Shenyuan went with her.
He rode his horse behind the Shi family's carriage and said to Shi Li across the carriage, "I'll take you home."
Accompanied by the sound of the wheel shaft rolling, Shi Li lowered her eyes and looked at her legs, and after a long time she agreed with a "OK".
[The anchor just now... was he feeling inferior? ]
[No way? Why should I feel inferior to you?]
[The host is the daughter of the prime minister, not much worse than a princess.]
[However, no matter how high one's status is, a pair of lame legs is indeed a huge burden in this era...]
Reality and ideal, everyone who is alive knows that many things are not as perfect as in fairy tales.
On the way, the group met Prime Minister Shi who came to pick them up in person.
The reason why it has been delayed until now is because of the lack of information and the fact that he was in the palace helping the emperor.
Seeing his daughter unharmed, Prime Minister Shi's tense expression finally relaxed a little, and then he noticed Lu Shenyuan who was guarding by his side.
"Thank you, nephew. Will you come back with us to rest?"
Lu Shenyuan could tell that Prime Minister Shi's words were mostly out of politeness, so he immediately said that he would not bother him anymore and that he had other things to do. He tactfully took his leave and rode away first.
Prime Minister Shi narrowed his eyes as he looked at his back.
There was no conversation along the way until they returned to Shi Mansion, then Prime Minister Shi asked Shi Li to come to his study with him and asked her in detail what had happened on the mountain.
"How dare you, Shuzi!"
When Prime Minister Shi saw the wound on Shi Li's neck and heard a series of events, he was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. He wished he could capture the Third Prince's wife and Zhong Shanlang and pay them back a hundredfold.
"Father thinks that the Third Prince..." Shi Li raised his suspicion tactfully, and then quietly looked at Prime Minister Shi's expression.
She felt that since Zhong Shanlang dared to act like this on the mountain, there must be someone backing him up, and the most likely person was the third prince.
If according to the original plot, Zhong Shanlang would eventually become a high-ranking official, then in reverse, the most likely scenario is that the third prince ascended the throne as the new emperor, giving Zhong Shanlang the credit for following the emperor.
However, the emperor is now in good health, and the position of the crown prince is stable...
Whenever Shi Li wanted to know about these things, the comments were always full of criticism, as if they didn't want her to have a golden finger and could only be a part of the game.
Prime Minister Shi’s current attitude is also very important.
Given his status, if he stood on the side of the Crown Prince, even if the Third Prince had extraordinary abilities, he might not be able to accomplish anything. In the original text, it must be because the original owner married Zhong Shanlang that she chose to stand on the side of the Third Prince.
Shi Li has nothing to do with Zhong Shanlang now, so Prime Minister Shi naturally does not need to be tied up.
"He...having this ambition is a death warrant."
As expected, Prime Minister Shi was dismissive of the Third Prince, but he also felt that this incident must be related to the Third Prince, and he had already secretly remembered him in his heart.
"Go back to your room and rest to calm down."
Prime Minister Shi restrained his emotions in front of his daughter and didn't say much. But at the end, he couldn't help but mention Lu Shenyuan, and then observed Shi Li's expression, "Lu Shenyuan is good."
"It's really all thanks to him this time." Shi Li nodded in agreement, but did not show any extra emotion.
At that time, the Prime Minister wanted to ask a little more, but the old father felt that it was a bit presumptuous to say such things to his unmarried daughter, so he shook his head regretfully and said no more.
After leaving his father's study, Shi Li returned to his own yard and saw a man standing at the door.
It turned out to be Shi Nian and Shi Jiao’s mother - Aunt Lin.
Seeing Shi Li coming back, Aunt Lin walked up to her hesitantly, holding a food box in her hand.
"Miss, this is the soup I made. I added some ginseng and ginger to drive away the cold." Aunt Lin was cautious, fearing that Shi Li would refuse.
She naturally knew that Shi Li was now caring about Shi Nian and wanted to do something because she was grateful.
"Thank you, aunt."
Shi Li had no ill feelings towards her, so she let Liu Shui take the food box.
Aunt Lin was a little surprised, and then said, "Miss, my needlework is pretty good. If you need anything, I can do it."
Before this, knowing that the original owner was annoying, she would never dare to say this.
