Chapter 1980 The Regent Princess is about to faint again
Shi Li returned to the Su family in a carriage.
She didn't know whether her uncle had heard the news or had been waiting for her here. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw her uncle coming towards her with a smile on his face.
"Li'er, you're finally back. Your uncle has been waiting for you here for a long time." He looked so friendly and warm, as if he had always been a good uncle who doted on his niece.
It seemed that there was someone else who had threatened her and Shi Xuan and put them under house arrest.
Shi Li looked at the man in front of her calmly.
She has always been a lazy person who doesn't like to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean she can let others bully her. She immediately asked back, "Uncle, are you waiting for me? Are you trying to persuade me to obey Zhao Quan?"
While they were talking, there were several servants standing nearby and they all heard what was said.
Shi Li didn't give her uncle any face at all.
My uncle's smile froze on his face.
"Li'er... look at how you talk like that. Your uncle didn't know before... it's all for the future good of you sisters." Your uncle still wanted to save face, but his explanation was extremely far-fetched.
Shi Li tilted her head, the breeze blowing a strand of hair beside her ear, and she pretended to be innocent and said, "Really? This is such a good thing, should I tell Xie Lin and let him know that my uncle is so good to me?"
She did it on purpose.
It is wrong to bully others by taking advantage of one's power, but facing such an uncle, she had no psychological burden at all to bring Gu Jinning out to pressure him.
The muscles on my uncle's face trembled visibly.
The reason why he was standing here now was because Shi Li knew Xie Lin and they had a very close relationship.
Whether his career as an official has reached this point is good or bad, whether he will make further progress or stay here forever, to put it bluntly, all depends on a word from the Regent.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so eager to repair his relationship with Shi Li.
"Uncle, don't treat us like three-year-old children. I know who is good and who is bad."
However, Shi Li didn't want to continue dealing with him, so she restrained her smile, said this with a cold face, and without looking at her uncle's expression, she just walked past him.
After passing through the second door, I met Su Zhao by chance again.
He walked stealthily, not knowing where to go. When he saw Shi Li, he was so scared that he stood still, his face pale, "Cousin, cousin."
"If I were your cousin, even the book boy around me could be bribed. I might as well find a piece of tofu and kill myself." Shi Li was furious when he saw him. If he hadn't been stupid enough to be tricked, Shi Xuan wouldn't have been tortured.
Su Zhao was so angry that his face turned purple and he clenched his hands.
But he remembered his father's warning and did not dare to do anything to Shi Li. He could only stare at her with gritted teeth.
[Ahh, the host is so cute~]
[I'll stand as the anchor for one minute. If I have Aning's support, any dog passing by who doesn't nod and say hello to me will get a slap in the face~]
[The host is also very good. He just helped Aning. What do you call this? Mutual achievement! ]
Gu Jinning, a man who became the regent second only to one emperor in just six years, had been troubled by the disasters in various places for a long time because he could not do anything without the right ingredients.
Now with Shi Li's logistical resources, there was naturally no need to worry. Capable officials were transferred one by one to the areas most severely affected by the disaster. It took less than seven or eight days to get everything settled.
Everyone in every place knows that there is no need to worry about having no food due to this disaster.
The Shi family in various places had porridge stalls, and the government also raised a large amount of affordable food, so they could survive no matter what.
At the same time, good news came from the north.
On the border, the stalemate with the Qiangyi tribe has lasted for many years without any results. Recently, the Qiangyi tribe sent troops to harass again, but they were driven back dozens of miles by the garrison soldiers, and even their leader was captured alive.
Such great news was reported back to the capital and it excited everyone.
The young emperor even issued an order to the soldiers at the border to escort the leader of the Qiang and Yi tribes back to the capital.
On the day of entering the city, many people went out to watch the excitement.
Shi Li also took Shi Xuan with her.
The mighty army rode on tall horses and imprisoned the leader of the Qiang and Yi tribes in a prison cart. They marched along the way, winning cheers from the people all the way.
Shi Li was sitting on the second floor of a teahouse facing the street. She looked at the long queue, blinked her eyes, and turned to look at Shi Xuan, "Sister, is our brother the one leading the way?"
Everyone knew that the one who escorted the prisoners back to the capital this time was the young general who captured the enemy leader alive, but they did not expect that it was Shi Yu.
Shi Xuan looked at him in disbelief, "Is that so...?"
Perhaps it was because they were siblings, Shi Yu just raised his head and made eye contact with the two sisters in the teahouse.
He was the first to show his white teeth and smiled brilliantly.
He was taller, stronger, and darker than when we last met.
Shi Li looked at him, sniffed, and could hardly suppress the sourness between her eyes and nose.
