Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 163: No Wrong Bet

Xu Gong walked forward quickly, first looked at Xu Wenhe and Lin Muchen, then nodded to them. Then, he cast his eyes to the cell where Li Ziyan was, and couldn't help but sighed: "Your residence is more comfortable than home."

Hearing this, Li Ziyan slowly stood up, walked to the prison door, looked at Xu Gong and asked, "Uncle, why did you come here suddenly?"

Xu Gong replied unhappily: "Why am I here? If you weren't my nephew, I wouldn't bother to come and see you! Look at how you look in prison now, you are completely different from others." After saying that, Xu Gong glared at Li Ziyan.

Li Ziyan quickly apologized with a smile: "Uncle, thank you for the compliment. I wonder if you have anything to tell your nephew when you come here today?"

"If someone wants to re-appoint the crown prince, whose side will you stand on?" After saying this, his eyes swept over Xu Wenhe and Lin Muchen again.

Li Ziyan frowned slightly and stared at Xu Gong, but still had a faint smile on his face: "Uncle, are you kidding me? As a subject, I naturally serve the orthodox monarch." At this moment, Xu Gong's eyes changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

Then, he said to Li Ziyan, "Very good, then you should make preparations here. His Majesty will be present at the trial of your case tomorrow. Your parents, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Jun Ning are all very worried about you." Hearing this, Li Ziyan nodded to show that he understood, and whispered, "Thank you, uncle."

Xu Gong patted Li Ziyan's shoulder gently and said earnestly: "You dare to be a gambler at such a young age. If you lose the bet in the end, have you ever thought about how your parents and your wife will face such an outcome?" There was a hint of concern and worry in his voice.

Li Ziyan stared at Xu Gong closely, his eyes flashing with determination. He said solemnly: "Yes, uncle, you know my character. If I am not absolutely sure, I will never take the risk of gambling easily."

Xu Gong shook his head helplessly and turned his gaze to Xu Wenhe, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Okay, Wenhe, come home with me. And Mr. Lin, please come out with me. After the lawsuit is settled tomorrow, you can see each other every day." After that, he turned and walked towards the door, as if wanting to end it all as soon as possible.

In Li's house, Yuan Xinghui held Zhao Junning's hand tightly, her eyes full of concern, and said, "Junning, I didn't know you've been through so much in the past few days! During this time, my father locked me up in order to force me to marry Liang Wuxie.

Fortunately, he finally offered to let it go with me. I didn't expect that you would encounter so many things in just three days. How is your injury? Is it getting better? "

Zhao Junning smiled slightly and responded: "Don't worry, I'm fine. The dagger is not long, and the doctor's medical skills are very good. It doesn't hurt anymore, but..." When she said this, her eyes dimmed slightly.

Yuan Xinghui naturally understood that Zhao Junning was still worried about Li Ziyan, so she comforted him, "Junning, don't worry too much. I heard from my father that the Censorate will soon take over the case, and I believe Li Ziyan will be free soon.

As for you, the most important thing now is to take good care of yourself. If you continue to be so haggard, I'm afraid I won't dare to get married!" After saying that, the two smiled at each other, but they both knew in their hearts that there were still many unknowns waiting for them to face in the future.
