After Mistakenly Binding The Matchmaker System

Tyrant's Beloved (7)

Li Shu remained remarkably composed, and Li Yang felt uneasy. However, he had already sent someone to keep an eye on this place to make sure no one had come out. With this reassurance, he felt a bit more at ease. His men were stationed outside the chamber, and the room's simple layout left no room for hiding. He was curious to see where a big living person could be concealed.

The bed chambers were not large, so you could walk around it quickly. Initially, Li Yang could still smile, but after walking around, his expression faltered. He stepped forward, grabbed Li Shu's arm, and asked, "Where is the person? Where did you hide them?"

Li Shu lightly pushed him away, "I've said I don't know what you're talking about. I am the only one here from beginning to end."

"I don't believe it! There must be someone else. You hid the person, right? Where did you hide them?" Li Yang refused to accept this outcome. After the incident with the maidservant, he had angered Father. If he left the impression of using unscrupulous means to falsely accuse his eldest brother, especially when the eldest brother had gained their father's favor, there would be no place for him in the Left Prime Minister's mansion.

No, absolutely not!

He turned his head in panic, only to see his majestic father. His lips opened and closed as if wanting to say something but choked back under Li Cheng's gaze. Reason reluctantly came back, and Li Yang knew he couldn't anger his father now.

"How do you want to deal with this?" Ignoring his visibly distressed third son, Li Cheng turned to his long-neglected eldest son. It must be said that Li Shu's recent behavior surprised him. He was neither arrogant nor impetuous, calmly composed with a hint of charisma. If he had displayed this demeanor from the beginning, he wouldn't have overlooked him for so many years.

After all, this was the child left by that person.

"It's up to Father to decide," Li Shu had seen the plot and knew what kind of person Left Prime Minister Li Cheng was. His heart was unyielding, and he wouldn't show mercy just because Li Yang was his son. Additionally, he was a person with an intense desire for control; subordinates, women, children—he enjoyed keeping them firmly in his grasp.

As expected, Li Cheng was satisfied with Li Shu's response. A slight smile appeared on his face, and his tone softened, "Li Yang falsely accused his elder brother. As a father, it is unacceptable. So..."

"No, Father, I didn't deceive you. There really is someone hidden in Big Brother's room," Li Yang knelt down with a "thud!", crawled to Li Cheng's feet, grabbed his robe, and pleaded desperately, "Father, believe me!"

"Everything must be based on evidence. You said that someone is hiding in your eldest brother's room, and it is related to Xinuo's reputation, so I came with you to investigate. Now, it's proven that there's no one else in your elder brother's room. What else do you have to say?" Li Cheng's tone was gentle, showing no signs of anger at the situation. However, those familiar with him knew that the calmer he appeared, the more intense his anger.

"Evidence, yes, I have evidence." Like a drowning person clutching at a lifeline, Li Yang clung to this last hope, "I have a witness!"

Under Li Cheng's inquiring gaze, Li Shu took the initiative to speak up, "Since Third Brother has a witness, let them testify before Father."

Li Cheng: "Who is the witness?"

"Xiao Tao, Big Brother's personal maidservant Xiao Tao." Li Yang hurriedly revealed the name.

Li Cheng instructed Yun Jing to bring Xiao Tao in. Suddenly, Li Shu spoke, "Since Xiao Tao is my maidservant, bring my other maidservants as well."

Quick reminder, Yun Jing is the Left Prime Minister's trusted subordinate.Majestic Desert Splendor0:00 / 1:07
