Chapter 497

Inside the ancestral hall, hundreds of people were shocked.

Li Jin and Li He lowered their heads in unison, as if they had no face to face others. At this moment, their own conditions that they brought up before all became a joke and a child's play.

Especially Li Ji, his complexion became more and more ugly.

Faced with such a situation, I did not panic or panic, and still maintained a leisurely posture, and said lightly: "This prince can stand here today, which is the best explanation. Whether you believe it or not, you must accept it." , the Crown Prince does not need anyone to convince him!"

Gradually, the uproar turned into silence, and the entire ancestral hall became silent.

The old man sighed inexplicably, and when he was about to speak, a person walked in outside the gate of the ancestral hall, and gently pressed Li Ji's shoulder, making him calm down instantly, with strong hope in his eyes.

The one who came was... Li Qinghao!

"Li Shaobai, you do have the strength to become the crown prince, but the matter in the south has not yet been resolved, why should the old man act too hastily? Since Li Shaobai said to destroy the Tianmen within a month, let's wait until he destroys it. A rash decision will only make people I thought you were biased, old man." Li Qinghao said.

I squinted my eyes. I didn't expect Li Qinghao to come at this moment. The reason why he said that was just to delay the time and find a way to fight back within a month, so that I couldn't be the prince.

However, the current situation is very favorable to me, and I don't need to be afraid of anyone at all. Li Qinghao's strategy of delaying the attack may not be useful.

"In that case, for the sake of fairness, let's do as you said." The old man said.

Li Qinghao smiled and nodded resolutely, "Thank you, old man, for your success."

"Let's go away, we'll make a conclusion after a month." The old man waved his hand.

But suddenly, Li Qinghao took three steps forward, looked at me with a smile, and said, "Wait, Li Shaobai, do you dare to make a bet with me? Let the old man be a notary?"

"Bet? How do you want to bet?" I raised my eyebrows lightly, thinking that the other party must have no good intentions.

Sure enough, Li Qinghao smiled more immediately, as if he was confident, and said: "If you can't destroy the Tianmen within a month, you will never be able to compete for the crown prince, and you can only be the eldest grandson, how about it?"

"Your calculation is too good, right? Just talk about the result of my loss, not the price of your loss?" I smiled, everything is under control, Li Qinghao will never allow it for Li Ji I become a prince.

Li Qinghao paused, as if he was thinking about a suitable bet, and did not immediately state his conditions.

"Why don't you just let me talk about the bet. If you lose, how about stripping Li Ji of his status as the eldest son and becoming a servant of the Li family?" I glanced around and finally landed on Li Ji, thinking to myself Li Qinghao would definitely not agree to a condition that was too big, so he might as well use his idiot son to start the game.

"Absolutely not!" Li Qinghao stared sharply and directly vetoed it, as if he cared about his idiot son.

This... is simply a strong father's love.

Even I can't bear it.

But think about it from another angle, will Li Qinghao have the heart for me?

The answer is impossible. Since I revealed my identity, I have already threatened him, and it is also a roadblock for his idiot son's future.

I couldn't help shaking my head, pretending to be a gambler but not a gambler, and said with a smile: "I am allowed to strip away the chance to compete for the crown prince, and not to strip off the identity of Li Ji's son? Could it be that competing for the crown prince is not as good as a prince? If so It’s fine if you don’t gamble, I have nothing to lose anyway.”

"Okay, this matter is fine, so it's settled. If you can't finish it within a month, you won't be able to compete for the crown prince. If I lose, Li Ji will automatically resign as the crown prince." Li Qinghao's expression changed, as if he was really worried that I would not Bet with him, actually agreed immediately.

"Father! How can it be? What if we really lose?" Li Ji panicked at the time.

Li Qinghao turned his head and stared at Li Ji with a very certain gaze, "With me here, I will not lose. Li Shaobai will definitely lose this time. The crown prince will always be yours, and no one can take it away."

At this time, the old man stood up, "Since the bet has been made, the old man can be a witness, so let's go."

After speaking, the old man waved again, and the people present began to disperse one by one.

Soon, there were only a few people left in the ancestral hall.

Li Qinghao stared at me, and said coldly: "Li Shaobai, I didn't expect you to hide so deeply that I was almost fooled by you, but this time, you are not so lucky. Even if this bet exceeds the deadline by one day, You also lose!"

"Yes, Li Shaobai, don't get complacent too early, you will regret it later." Li Ji said harshly.

I frowned, "Lee Ki? What did you say?"

"I said, you will regret it sooner or later, and you will lose completely in the hands of our father and son." Li Ji's face was full of resentment.

After hearing this, I raised my steps in silence, and slapped Li Ji heavily in front of Li Qinghao, "The following offenders should be punished, your father is qualified to say such things, but you are a little son, It's not your turn to be presumptuous in front of me."

Li Ji covered his hot face, his throat seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't speak.

"You!" Li Qinghao was angry, but he couldn't blame me. After all, Li Ji was really wrong. The slap on his face was actually on Li Qinghao's heart.

But in a blink of an eye, Li Qinghao suppressed his anger again, swung his sleeve vigorously, turned around and left, "Ji'er, let's go."

"You wait." Li Ji gritted his teeth angrily, he could only stomp his feet, and followed Li Qinghao's pace to leave.

...

On that day, my mother arranged for me to temporarily live in Wumingyuan, and it was rare for me to sit at the same table with the old man and have a reunion dinner.

The old man didn't have any extra words, and he picked up vegetables for me from time to time, and gradually piled them up into a mountain of small vegetables, full of deep love.

I didn't say much, just lowered my head to eat, and ate all the dishes that the old man had made with my own hands.

Halfway through eating, my mother suddenly felt a little dazed, and murmured: "There is still someone missing..."

I silently picked up the food, not knowing what to say.

The old man took a sip of the soup and sighed: "He has his own decision, as long as Shaobai's identity is not related to Wuming, that's enough, but... I'm very worried and looking forward to his current real strength. "

"Otherwise, I'll go back and find him?" My mother put down her chopsticks, her expression extremely worried.

"No, since I'm back, I won't look for him again. I believe that one day, he will come back." The old man raised his hand and shook his head in denial.

Having said that, the old man turned his face sideways and stared at me deeply, "Shaobai, after today's incident is reported, you must be famous. If you want to secure the position of prince, you must use tough methods. I can help you!" That's all, and the rest depends on your own wisdom."

"But since the name of the eldest grandson will be spread all over China, anyway, with Zhong Hai's help, then you might as well make a bigger fuss and let everyone know that you are the eldest grandson of my Li Tianxing and the future prince of the Li family."

"As for how to make trouble, you can think for yourself."
