Lady Su’s Revenge
chapter-189

Seeing that little princes gradually grew up into handsome adults in a blink of an eye, Lord Rui smiled bitterly. He hadn’t smiled for a long time.

In a blink of an eye, it had been seventeen years.

“Talented people keep showing up, and each new generation excels the last one. You have grown up and must learn to share your father’s affairs. Don’t be lazy and slack.”

“OK. I know!”s

Although the three persons answered loudly, they all had their own ideas inside.

Uncle Rui was only less than forty years old, but half of his hair was white. If there were lots of wrinkles on his face, he would look like their father who was sixty years old.

“Sure enough, what happened in the past is true…”

Dongfang Sheng looked strange. He was the eldest. When that matter happened, he was sensible enough. The Imperial Palace was full of rumors. He still remembered some of them. The Third Prince and the Fifth Prince didn’t know it because after that woman left Yunjing, the emperor blocked Lord Rui’s scandal. If someone gossiped with others, his or her tongue would be pulled up!

“Wu Jin is here to meet Lord Rui!”

“Ma Jintian…”

Then, masters of various families gave a salute to Lord Rui, the younger brother of the emperor of the Dahan Country. Such an identity made him nobler than others.

Only Ling Li sat on a wheelchair and squinted at the crowd. He was like a drunkard and said, “Who is Lord Rui? I have never heard of him. Is he fake?”

People all laughed.

“Ha-ha, the idiot even dares to scold the lord?”

“He has been arrogant for a long time. He will be punished sooner or later. Even if he is arrogant, he does not dare to behave in this way in front of Lord Rui.”

Lord Rui raised his eyebrows and turned back. When he saw Ling Li who was untidy, he couldn’t help but frown. It was obvious that he was a playboy. How could he reach the top floor?

“Lord, he is Ling Li, the second son of the Ling Family. When he was a child, he had a disability of legs. What’s more, both Old General Ling and General Ling died. Nobody could teach him… So, he becomes a playboy.”

The butler transmitted the sound in silence to Lord Rui. Lord Rui understood. But he still walked to Ling Li. All the audience’s eyes followed him. Playboy Ling would be scolded. It was difficult for them to see the scene. They even wanted to draw this scene and mounted it on the wall. Only in this way could they vent their anger!

Lord Rui sat beside Ling Li and looked at him with disdain. He said with a low voice, “Your father and grandfather are big heroes. I admire them very much! Even if your legs were lost because of a secret plot, you can’t become a playboy and disgrace your father and grandfather!”

Ling Li stopped holding the wine and slowly raised his head. He was so angry that his eyes reddened. Lord Rui was nervous. It seemed that his words were not only useless but also backfired.

Sure enough, Ling Li knocked at the table with a “bang”, and the wine spilled. He said, “Who are you?! Do you think that you can scold me because you think you are a lord? My father and grandfather died for your Dongfang Family, and I am also disabled. Your Dongfang Family are satisfied, aren’t you? And you think you can laugh at me at random?! Hmm?!”

Then, the expressions of all the three princes changed. They came with anger. Dongfang Sheng shouted angrily, “Ling Li, you talked about the imperial family unscrupulously. This is an act of rebellion. Do you know that you are committing a crime?!”

Ling Li was calm and pointed to Dongfang Sheng’s face. He said to Lord Rui with a smile, “Ha-ha… He wants to punish me unscrupulously. Dongfang Sheng, if you are a member of the Dongfang Family, don’t appear in front of me. You are sick.”

“…You!”

Dongfang Sheng was so angry that his face reddened. He looked at Lord Rui. But Lord Rui was calm.

It was silent for a moment.

Finally, Lord Rui tried to open his lips. He felt sorry. Ling Li’s personality had already developed. It was difficult for him to change it. It was inappropriate for him to rashly talk about the Ling Family. But he was a member of the imperial family. So, he couldn’t apologize in public.

“Sheng, go away with others. I want to talk with him alone.”

Seeing that their uncle didn’t punish Ling Li but showed some interest to him, all the three princes frowned slightly. The Ling Family didn’t support any of them. Therefore, they didn’t want to see that the Ling Family and Lord Rui who could be drawn over to their sides had a close relationship.

However, at this moment, they might not talk too much. What’s more, Lord Rui might not talk with the playboy Ling Li.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Yang smiled and stepped back. He said, “OK. Take your time to talk. I am leaving now.”

After the Fifth Prince left, the other two princes left successively. Although someone still peeped at them from time to time, the conversation between Ling Li and Lord Rui would not be heard because all the princes were out of earshot and the old butler kept watching them.

After Ling Li vented his anger, he felt happy. He scratched his chest lazily and lay on his wheelchair. His right foot was close to falling on the ground. Ling Mo bent down, put his right foot back thoughtfully and covered him with a blanket.

When the butler saw that the muscles of Ling Li’s right leg atrophied heavily, he instantly shook his head slightly. Ling Li’s muscles atrophied so heavily that his legs couldn’t be cured.

“Lord Rui, do you want to teach me something again?”

Lord Rui lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice, “I was offensive to you just now. Even if you are a useless playboy, I should apologize to you.”

The old butler’s expression changed slightly. He put his hand on the shoulder of Lord Rui and called the lord, “…Master.”

Ling Li looked surprised. He had lots of thoughts inside.

Dongfang Rui was different. Not everyone was as tolerant as him. He would have lots of supporters with his charm. Why was he alone?

“Will you apologize to me… You are the hereditary lord and the brother of the emperor. I can’t stand your apology…”

There was a faint smile on Ling Li’s face. He took over a jade pendant from Ling Mo and played with it. Su Zipei was furious now? However, although the texture of this half jade pendant was good, it was broken. Su Zipei didn’t look like a person to cherish it…

Ling Li did not accept Dongfang Rui’s apology. The latter was a little angry. He looked up and saw the jade pendant in Ling Li’s hand. He immediately trembled uncontrollably.

It was not an illusion this time!

What?

Ling Li found something unusual. Dongfang Rui stared at the jade pendant in Ling Li’s hand. He seemed to be fixed. Countless thoughts passed through Ling Li’s mind.

Was it true?

“Ling Li, can you show me the jade pendant in your hand?”

Dongfang Rui was so excited that he was no longer calm. The old butler was worried about him. It was true that the master had lovesickness. He got a little better recently and couldn’t afford any accident.

Ling Li curled up his lips and put the jade pendant on the table. Dongfang Rui immediately grabbed it and looked at it carefully. It seemed that he had got a priceless treasure.

The break was rounded and the jade pendant couldn’t hurt his hands. But he knew that this jade pendant was the one that he gave to her. It could not be wrong.

Ling Li was his own son?

Lord Rui was confused. When Yun left Yunjing, he didn’t see that Yun was pregnant. How could she give their child to the Ling Family?

Those closely involved couldn’t see clearly, but a bystander was always clear-minded.

Seeing that his master was no longer calm, the old butler immediately asked him, “Childe Ling, can you tell us where you got this jade pendant?”

Yes!

Lord Rui immediately came to his sense. Ling Li was a playboy. So, he must molest lots of virtuous girls. The jade pendant didn’t belong to him. He must rob it from a girl!

In an instant, Dongfang Rui became extremely terrible. He said, “Ling Li, if you dare to…”

“Lord Rui, don’t be angry.”

Ling Li interrupted Dongfang Rui with a smile and sneered, “It seems that this jade pendant is very important to you. Why was it lost? However, I did not rob it but borrow it from a young lady! If you don’t believe me… you can ask her in person.”

Then, Ling Li pointed to the direction of Su Li’s seat. But when Dongfang Rui turned back, he saw nobody on that table.

“You fool me?!”

Dongfang Rui turned back suddenly with anger. But he found that Ling Li also frowned and that the latter’s expression seemed to be true. Ling Li muttered to himself, “It’s weird. Where is Su Li?”

Su Li!

Her surname was Su!

Dongfang Rui was shocked and rushed to the stairs instantly. If she was not in the top floor, she might go downstairs!

She was still here when he came, but she left at this moment.

She… knew her origin!

“Su Li!”

Dongfang Rui went down to the sixth floor and shouted loudly. All the audience was shocked. Why did he call Su Li?

“Master!”

The old butler followed him in a hurry. He said, “Master, don’t worry. The Baishou Building is your property. I asked others. Su Li just went out. We can catch up with her.”

Dongfang Rui raised his robe and jumped out from the window with his cultivation. What a pleasant surprise! But he had prepared inside and waited for seventeen years!

“Master!”

The old butler was shocked and quickly rushed to the window to look down. The master had not performed his cultivation for more than ten years. If he tumbled accidentally, what would he do?!

The old butler stuck out his head. He saw that the master fell to the ground smoothly. Then the old butler breathed a sigh of relief and walked down the stairs.

“Thud!”

Su Li coldly looked at Dongfang Rui who suddenly fell from the sky. She said nothing.

When Dongfang Rui saw Su Li, his longing and excitement turned into silent trickles. He looked serious, but his eyes reddened. He tried to say something but failed.

Her name was Su Li. Although she didn’t look like my Yun, her cold temperament was the same as that of Yun. They were almost the same!

There must be no mistake this time!

“Did your mother give the name to you?” Dongfang Rui asked in a trembling voice. He covered his chest for his heart was beating fast.

Su Li bent down to give a salute to Dongfang Rui. She smiled and said gently, “The name was given by me. I am from the Su Family. That jade pendant is not mine. I think you made a mistake.”

Dongfang Rui was completely shocked. Did Ling Li deceive him?

Or Su Li did not accept him?

He had envisioned the scene of meeting his daughter for ten thousand times, but none of them was so unfeeling like today’s scene. Su Li even didn’t give him the chance to say “I am your biological father.”

Su Li slightly closed her mouth and stepped back. She lowered her head and said, “If you don’t have other things, I am leaving.”

Then, Su Li turned back and left unhesitatingly. She looked so decisive. Seeing her back, Dongfang Rui seemed to fall into a cold pool. He felt very cold.
