Chapter 417, Old acquaintance
Old Man Li and Mrs. Li knew very well that the couple, the second son's family, and the third son's family had never been in the eyes of the eldest daughter-in-law. Even the four children born by the eldest daughter-in-law looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts.
So, when Li Fuzhi returned to her parents' home, she took the initiative to visit them immediately and brought various gifts, which really surprised the two of them.
What surprised the two most was Li Fuzhi's attitude. She chatted in a normal manner. Not only did she lose her previous arrogance, but she also catered to them in every way.
Not only was Old Man Li and Mrs. Li strange, but Li Zhengkun and Zeng Yuwei were also confused.
Li Fuzhi could stay a few more days when she returned to her parents' home. Therefore, she did not ask about Shi Zhenghe's family as soon as she came back. Instead, she decided to get closer to Old Man Li and Old Mrs. Li first.
After coming out of the old lady of Li Li, Zeng Yuwei pulled Li Fuzhi back to her room, and then asked seriously: "Sister Zhi, are you back this time?"
Li Zhengkun also stood aside, looking at Li Fuzhi worriedly.
Li Fuzhi knew that she needed to learn about the situation of Shi Zhenghe's family from other people in the Li family, and she could not do without the help of her parents. She did not hide it, and told the two of them what the fourth prince had ordered her to do.
Zeng Yuwei: "Does the fourth prince want to deal with Shi Zhenghe and his family?"
Li Fuzhi nodded: "Now in the court, the eldest prince is the only one who can compete with the fourth prince. Shi Fuxin is the eldest prince's master. If you can get hold of Shi Fuxin, you can indirectly seriously injure the eldest prince."
Zeng Yuwei frowned and glanced at Li Zhengkun: "It's not that I look down on your grandparents and your grandparents. If they only care about eating, drinking, drinking, and some trivial matters, your trip will probably be in vain."
Li Fuzhi's heart tightened and she said anxiously: "Mom, when I come back this time, I must find a way to deal with Shi Fuxin's family. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the fourth prince, and then my daughter will not be able to survive her life in the prince's mansion."
Speaking, she told Zeng Yuwei and Li Zhengkun about her dissatisfaction in the Prince's Mansion.
The two of them were heartbroken and worried when they learned that their daughter had aborted a child last year and was still taking medicine to maintain her health.
Zeng Yuwei was extremely worried and looked at Li Zhengkun anxiously: "Master, please ask them quickly. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, Sister Zhi has to do it."
Li Zhengkun did not move. How many years had he been an official? He had more to consider than the two of them. Moreover, as the head of the family, he had to be responsible for the whole family, so he looked at Li Fuzhi with a serious face:
“Sister Zhi, you know more information in the prince’s residence than we do. Tell father, do you think the fourth prince can really defeat the eldest prince?”
Li Fuzhi was stunned and did not speak immediately.
But Zeng Yuwei spoke up: "Do you still need to ask? The fourth prince has been the emperor's favorite prince since he was a child, and he has the support of the Liu family. The eldest prince was a sick man before, and he only joined the government in the past few years. Regardless of whether he is in the court. In terms of reputation and ability in doing things, the eldest prince is far inferior to the fourth prince."
As he said that, he looked at Li Zhengkun dissatisfied, "Sir, we are talking about the affairs of Shi Zhenghe and his family. Don't talk about the big things in the DPRK. We don't need to take care of the big things in the DPRK."
Li Zhengkun ignored Zeng Yuwei and looked at Li Fuzhi: "Sister Zhi, what do you think?"
Li Fuzhi: "Father, I don't know much about the news in the backyard. However, every time the fourth prince and the fourth prince's concubine talk about the eldest prince, they are not in a good mood. I think the pressure that the eldest prince brings to the fourth prince should be It’s huge.”
Li Fuzhi noticed her father's shrinkage and scruples, but thinking about her own situation, she couldn't help but said: "Father, how can a concubine of mine know about such a big thing? Anyway, I know that many officials in the court support the fourth prince."
Li Zhengkun looked at Li Fuzhi: "Sister Zhi, once this matter starts, our family will get involved in the fight between the fourth prince and the eldest prince." "It's okay if the fourth prince wins in the end, but if he loses. "
After hearing what Li Zhengkun said, Zeng Yuwei felt frustrated and snorted: "Master, is it useful to say this now? Anyway, Sister Zhi entered the fourth prince's backyard. Our family is on the fourth prince's side. We just don't do anything. If If the fourth prince loses, we will also be liquidated, and the result will be the same."
Li Zhengkun sighed in his heart, it was the same. They had not received any help from the fourth princes in recent years. As long as they did not get involved in the fight, even if they were liquidated, their family would not be severely damaged.
But seeing his daughter looking at him eagerly, with even a look of pleading in her eyes, Li Zhengkun couldn't say no.
If the prince's woman wants to live a good life, she needs help from her family. He can't help his daughter. Now that his daughter has come to ask for help, he will feel bad if he doesn't help.
Zeng Yuwei was very dissatisfied with Li Zhengkun's silence: "Master, what's wrong with you? Our family and Shi Zhenghe's family are sworn enemies. Now that the fourth prince is helping us to avenge us, why are you still hesitating?"
Li Fuzhi pulled Zeng Yuwei: "Mom, father is also worried about getting involved in the fight between the eldest prince and the fourth prince. My daughter can understand."
Zeng Yuwei snorted directly and said: "What kind of excuse is this? In the past, our family had a fight with Shi Zhenghe's family. There was no push from powerful people behind it. Why are we afraid this time?"
Speaking, he glanced at Li Zhengkun lightly: "I think the master is afraid of Shi Zhengkun's family. Your spine has been bent by Shi Zhengkun's family."
Due to the bad things that happened to the Li family in recent years, Zeng Yuwei didn't have much affection for Li Zhengkun anymore, and she lost respect in her words and actions.
Seeing this, Li Fuzhi became anxious: "Mother, how could you talk to father like this?"
Zeng Yuwei wanted to refute, but when she saw Li Zhengkun pursed his lips tightly and tried hard to suppress his anger, he didn't say any more hurtful words. He just said: "Master, do you really want to be suppressed by Shi Zhenghe and be unable to hold your head up for the rest of your life?"
“Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about our children. Sister Zhi and her four children are all good children, but look at the terrible life they are living now.”
As he spoke, his eyes turned red and he began to sob.
Li Fuzhi saw Zeng Yuwei crying and thought about her unsatisfactory years in the Prince's Mansion, so she also started crying.
Looking at the mother and daughter holding their heads and sobbing, Li Zhengkun felt extremely uncomfortable: "Well, it's time for our family to fight."
When Zeng Yuwei heard this, she immediately stopped crying and looked at Li Zhengkun: "Then master, please ask them quickly."
Li Zhengkun knew that Zeng Yuwei was disgusted with them when she saw that she called Old Man Li, Old Mrs. Li and her two younger brothers as theirs.
“No need to ask.”
Just when Zeng Yuwei was about to get angry, she heard Li Zhengkun say again: "I know what happened to Shi Zhenghe and his family."
Li Fuzhi said in surprise: "Father, is there something really wrong with their family?"
Li Zhengkun nodded: "Shi Zhenghe's family and Ye Mo are old acquaintances, and their relationship is extraordinary. This news should allow you to communicate."
