The Demonic Crown Prince

Funing Garden.

At this moment, Li Feng stood by the window with his hands behind his back, listening to the report from the man in black beside him.

"Third Prince, I never expected that Li Yuan would be so fierce. He actually used the Taizu Spear to kill two top experts from the Western Wilderness Kingdom in succession. He even rejected Helan Mingyue's marriage proposal and killed her with a single spear thrust."

This fellow truly possesses the bravery of the founding emperor. The weight of the spear not only did not hinder him, but made it incredibly easy for him to wield.

He absolutely must not leave the capital; otherwise, the consequences will be dire.

Li Feng laughed and shook his head. "No, since he's so fierce, we might as well let him leave the capital."

"Third Prince, what is this...?" The man in black was taken aback.

Li Feng had previously said that he absolutely could not be allowed to leave Beijing.

Now, they've actually changed their tune again?

"Now that he has made such a great contribution, the Emperor will definitely look at him differently, and even some people in the court will begin to favor him."

Furthermore, he insidiously framed the assassination attempt on him and Jiang Zhanyue as treason.

In this way, if he were still in the capital, he would already be firmly in an invincible position and difficult to deal with.

However, things are different once you leave Beijing.

Regardless of whether he could survive the chaos in Yanbei Road, the mere act of killing Princess Helan Mingyue, the proud eagle, had already thoroughly enraged the Western Wilderness.

Therefore, the people of the Western Wilderness would never allow him to live again.

Since that's the case, let him leave the capital.

"Let's see if he still possesses such bravery in the face of the Western Wilderness people!"

Li Feng smiled slightly.

"Can the people of the Western Wilderness cross thousands of mountains and rivers to kill him?"

The man in black frowned and asked.

"That's a matter for the people of the Western Wilderness, but I think they'll find a way. Don't you think so?"

Li Feng laughed.

Suddenly, he felt much better, as if he had everything under control.

……

The Duke of Qi's Mansion.

At this moment, Xu Rui looked at the pile of pork products on the table, his face ashen, his expression contorted, and his eyes blazing with fury.

This is blatant humiliation.

But Li Yuan on the other side was still spitting as he boasted about himself.

"Father-in-law, this pig is no ordinary pig. It has been raised with great care for two years, eating rice and drinking milk every day. There are also entertainers playing music for it, and a special person massaging it. That's why it grows up so well."

Eating this pork will guarantee you a long and healthy life!

"I went through great hardship to acquire this pig, and I have specially prepared the finest parts to present to my father-in-law. I earnestly hope that you will not worry that it is too precious and refuse it; this is from my heart."

"Fuck your mother..." Xu Rui cursed angrily, almost mentally churning out black smoke from the ancestral graves of the Li family.

But he still had to put on a cheerful expression, nodding repeatedly and showing a fatherly smile, "The King of Qin has really put his heart into this."

"I'm busy with official duties and time is precious, so I'll just say it frankly," Li Yuan said with a laugh.

"Please speak, my dear son-in-law." Xu Rui's heart skipped a beat; he knew this kid's visit was definitely not for anything good.

"The reason I brought Shuying back to my parents' home is twofold: firstly, to visit my father-in-law according to etiquette, and secondly, to ask my father-in-law how you have prepared Shuying's dowry."

There's no need for you, Father-in-law, to deliver it yourself; I'll just take it back with me."

Li Yuan grinned.

"Dowry?" Xu Rui looked at Li Yuan in shock.

I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen anyone this shameless.

He clearly snatched Xu Shuying away from her, yet he still wants her dowry?

But he had no choice but to respond.

She cleared her throat lightly. "Well, this marriage was indeed arranged too hastily, and we haven't had time to prepare the dowry. How about this, Steward Wang, quickly bring two hundred taels of silver as Shuying's dowry!"

"Two hundred taels? Are you sure?" Li Yuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Xu Rui.

"My dear son-in-law, although I am a Duke, I only receive a monthly salary of two hundred taels of silver, and I still have to take care of the food, drink and other expenses of such a large family."

After this dowry of two hundred taels is given, I fear the Duke's mansion will have to endure at least two months of hardship before things improve. Therefore, I earnestly hope my son-in-law will understand.

Xu Rui sincerely tried to gain Li Yuan's sympathy.

Damn it, it's just acting, even our country can do that.

To everyone's surprise, Li Yuan smiled and shook his head. "Since that's the case, why make things difficult for my father-in-law? I won't accept the two hundred taels of silver dowry. I'll just wander around the house and take some things back to Shuying as part of her dowry."

In this way, we can pay in kind, which will save my father-in-law from having to put in such a difficult position.

"What?" Xu Rui's eyes widened.

Before he could react, Li Yuan waved his hand and shouted, "Come on, my father-in-law agrees. Take whatever you like as part of the princess's dowry."

Instantly, a group of soldiers rushed over and responded in unison, "Yes, Your Highness."

Then, a group of soldiers started moving things, while Li Yuan stood by, yelling and shouting, "Are you fucking stupid? That's a pig trough, what are you going to do with it? Pick out the valuable things, like that jade screen. Yes, yes, and that rosewood eight-immortal table, and that sandalwood bed too."

Hey, why are you carrying an old woman around like that? We're not some bandits kidnapping people...

"Damn, that's my mother-in-law, the Duchess of the State, put her down, put her down."

"Ha..." Xu Shuying almost burst out laughing as she recovered from her shock.

This guy is shameless.

But suddenly, she really liked it!

"Li Yuan, you...you actually dared to rob our own government property! What are you trying to do?"

Xu Rui was taken aback and stood in front of him, his eyes blazing with anger.

"You're wrong, Father-in-law. This isn't robbery; it's offering goods as payment for the dowry. This is an ancient custom that must be followed."

If my father-in-law has gathered enough for the dowry, then I won't take anything.

Li Yuan said with a forced smile.

Damn it, you've made things difficult for me at every turn, now I'm going to get my revenge.

"I, I..." Xu Rui gritted his teeth, if looks could eat people, he would have already chewed Li Yuan's bones to pieces.

Helpless, he could only turn to Xu Shuying, take a deep breath, and say, "Shuying, we're all family, don't be like this. If you really want a dowry, I'll prepare it for you, but you'll have to give me some time."

Xu Shuying bit her lip and gently shook her head. "I'm sorry, Father. At home, I obey my father, but after marriage, I obey my husband. Everything in the family is decided by my husband, and I can't do anything about it."

"You little bitch, you start plotting against your own family as soon as you leave home? We should have just boiled you in a basin of boiling water to kill you back then, so you wouldn't grow up to be such a traitor."

A sharp curse came from the side.

Everyone looked over and saw Lady Wang Cuilan of the Duke's Mansion pointing at Xu Shuying and cursing her angrily.

She was just standing up to a group of soldiers when one of them picked her up and carried her away. She's still in shock.

Upon hearing her curses, a glint of light, like shards of glass, instantly flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.
