After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

Just as those ministers had retorted before, someone must have instigated why a palace maid who was no match for Zhou Tengfei died to frame Zhou Tengfei.

And the person behind the scenes not only wanted to kill Zhou Tengfei, but also came towards Li Youwei. After all, Zhou Tengfei was one of Li Youwei's most capable subordinates.

If he is found guilty of murdering people in the palace, Li Youwei will also be implicated. That man has played a big game of chess.

Situ Jue was ordered to continue the investigation, and the New Year's Eve banquet continued.

Zhou Tengfei was acquitted. After today's incident, he has a long memory and will never drink anything he can in the future. It would be too much of a waste.

If he had not drank today, when the palace maid thrust the knife into his hand to frame him, he would have been able to quickly escape, and General Li would not have had to stand in the ice and snow with him to worry. He felt too guilty.

Concubine Xian bravely stood up to testify for Zhou Tengfei. Huangfu Chenyang was so impressed by her that he directly asked her to sit on his right hand side and even took the initiative to bring her food.

Nalanjiao was flattered. Although the dish was not her favorite, she still put it into her mouth with a bright smile.

Concubine De and Concubine Shu are nothing to be jealous of. As girls from a big family, they have known for a long time that their husbands will not be just one woman. Instead of fighting for favor and jealousy, they should find ways to live their own lives well.

Concubine De and Concubine Shu's current thoughts are very simple, as long as they can give birth to the child safely. As for the emperor's favor, they just want to let nature take its course.

At the seat of the Li Mansion, Li Yaozu secretly tugged at the corner of Li Dengyuan's clothes: "Dad, do you think my eldest sister and Zhou Tengfei might have misunderstood that I spilled wine on Zhou Tengfei on purpose?"

Li Dengyuan looked back at Zhou Tengfei with hatred, "Then tell me, why did you spill the wine on Zhou Tengfei?"

Li Yaozu hesitated. He couldn't tell the truth that he was jealous of Zhou Tengfei. It would be too shameful.

"Dad, I was just careless. After all, he belongs to the eldest sister. How could I deliberately target him?"

Li Yaozu said this with a guilty conscience. When the wine was poured on Zhou Tengfei, he was still gloating about his misfortune. If not for what happened later, he would have thought about making Zhou Tengfei embarrassed a few more times in the future.

There is no better son than a father, so Li Dengyuan knew a little about Li Yaozu's virtues.

"Yaozu, you and dad are still lying. You are just jealous that Zhou Tengfei fell into your eldest sister's eyes, right?"

Being told directly, Li Yaozu's face turned red.

"Dad, I really know I was wrong."

"Since I know I was wrong, I will take the initiative to apologize to Captain Zhou tomorrow."

"Dad, if this is really going to happen, I will be embarrassed. He is just my eldest sister's subordinate, so let's just forget about it."

"If you want to have a problem with your eldest sister, you don't have to go." Li Dengyuan flicked his sleeves angrily and turned his head back. Is the eldest son really useless? He should focus all his energy on the younger son. .

Mrs. Li looked a little anxious, "Yaozu, how can you refute your father's words? Just follow whatever your father says."

"Okay, I understand." Li Yaozu also saw that Li Dengyuan was angry, so he reluctantly agreed.

The New Year's Eve banquet lasted for another half an hour before it ended. The ministers respectfully sent the emperor, the queen mother and others away before leaving the banquet hall one after another.

After leaving the palace, Zhou Tengfei and Situ Wan caught up, "You Wei, please accept our respect."

Li Youwei raised his hand to help the two of them up, "Sister Wan, I didn't do anything. It was the Minister of Criminal Affairs who solved the case like a god. You should thank him."

Situ Wan shook his head, "Youwei, I understand everything."

Situ Jue is Situ Wan's younger brother, and she is very aware of his every eye movement. When presenting the jade earring, Situ Jue's eyes subconsciously glanced at Li Youwei, so Situ Wan guessed that this evidence was The discovery should be related to Li Youwei.

Zhou Tengfei's eyes began to turn red again. General Li was the best person to him since his parents left the capital.

Although General Li doesn't like to talk, she has always used practical actions to express her care for her subordinates. Li Youwei couldn't bear to see such a sensational scene, so she raised her hand and patted Situ Wan on the shoulder.

"Sister Wan, it's getting late. Let Captain Zhou take you back."

"Well, okay, You Wei, let's meet up another day."

Zhou Tengfei solemnly saluted Li Youwei and escorted Situ Wan to the carriage.

After the two left, Li Dengyuan, Li Wangshi and Li Yaozu surrounded them.

Li Yaozu first apologized for spilling wine on Zhou Tengfei at the banquet.

"Sister, at the banquet tonight, I really wanted to toast you, but I accidentally spilled the wine on Captain Zhou. I really didn't mean it."

Li Youwei nodded, "Don't make this mistake again."

"Yes, I remember."

Mrs. Li tugged at her handkerchief. She felt that Li Youwei was too strict with Li Yaozu. After all, he was still her younger brother. She was not acting like a sister.

She wanted to say something, but Li Dengyuan stopped her with a look. She shrank her neck in fright and was so stunned that she didn't dare to say a word.

Li Dengyuan's face smiled like a flower, "Youwei, today is New Year's Eve, it's the day for family reunion. Would you like to go back to Li's Mansion with us?"

Li Dengyuan asked cautiously, and no longer had the dignity and authority he had in the past when he said everything.

"Father, tomorrow, I promised the eldest princess that I would spend New Year's Eve with her tonight."

Li Dengyuan followed Li Youwei's line of sight and happened to see the carriage of the eldest princess's palace parked on the roadside, with the guards of the princess's palace standing beside the car.

Li Dengyuan was a little disappointed, but it would be good to go back tomorrow. After comforting himself, his face was full of smiles again.

"Okay, let's go back to the house first. Food and wine will be prepared and waiting for you at the house tomorrow."

"Okay, then my daughter will go first."

Li Youwei bowed, turned and walked towards the carriage at the eldest princess's residence.

Mrs. Li couldn't help but pulled Li Dengyuan's sleeve, "Master, after all, I am also You Wei's biological mother. How could she leave her biological mother alone to accompany a godmother."

Wang Li's tone was sour and astringent, which made her feel particularly uncomfortable.

Li Dengyuan glared at Mrs. Li, "It's not you who did it. I'm warning you that if you dare to act like a monster tomorrow, I will definitely divorce you."

After saying these cruel words, Li Dengyuan tossed his sleeves and left.

Li Wang was even more aggrieved. Just as he was about to ask Li Yaozu to complain, he found that Li Yaozu had already chased Li Dengyuan towards the Yuan Dynasty.

She stamped her feet fiercely and hurriedly chased after him.

The eldest princess had been waiting for Li Youwei in the carriage. When she saw her coming in, she was relieved. She saw Li Dengyuan taking Li Wangshi to talk to You Wei. She was really afraid that You Wei would choose her in the end. Mother.

"Mom, let's go back to the house."

Li Youwei leaned her head on the eldest princess's shoulder affectionately. Only in front of the eldest princess did she look like a child.

The eldest princess put her arms around Li Youwei's shoulders and said, "Let's go home. Mom has made the dumplings in advance, so you can cook them and eat them when you get home."
