Chapter 489: 487

"The Lord of Rui’an County, my brother is not like that, don’t accuse him wrongly! The Tibetan mastiff probably ran towards me, the Crown Princess misunderstood, thinking it was attacking her, then she hit it with her purse, which caused the dog to chase after her." Li Mingfang couldn’t help but speak up after hearing this.

She didn’t expect that after convering with Di Shaowei, Ming Jingya would be cornered into the lake by her own Tibetan mastiff.

If anything happens to Ming Jingya, Di Shaowei would definitely not help her! Nor would the Empress, after all, Ming Jingya was carrying the future hope of the Di family.

All the offspring of the Di family are concentrated on Di Shaowei, and according to the family rules of the Di family, a man can only marry a concubine if he had no children at the age of thirty-five!

The general’s wife had already given birth to the heir, but she couldn’t bear another child, so Di Shaowei is bound to be the only son of Marquis Zhongyong’s mansion.

The entire family’s concern for the child in Ming Jingya’s belly can be predicted!

"Send for Li Mingjun and ask him exactly what happened, why his Tibetan mastiff suddenly decided to chase after the Crown Princess."

But as soon as Li Mingjun realized something was wrong, he called back the Tibetan Mastiff and left the palace.

"Ming Jun must have been scared silly then, he didn’t know to call back Tianlang. Even I, when I saw that scene, was so frightened I forgot to react." Li Mingfang explained again.

Seeing Tianlang chasing after Ming Jingya, she indeed forgot to react.

At this moment, the short and chubby Seventh Prince ran in angrily, shouting, "That’s not what happened! Li Mingjun deliberately told the beast, ’Tianlang, bite that pregnant woman once, and I’ll give you lamb leg when we go back!’ That beast then ran off to bite my sister-in-law!"

As soon as the Seventh Prince’s words came out, everyone’s views on the Li family members changed completely!

Is this young master of the Li family so cruel at such a young age?!

"Sixth Prince, who taught you to say that?" Upon hearing this, Li Mingfang’s face changed. She didn’t believe her brother would do such a thing.

The Empress hummed coldly after hearing this.

Is she trying to deny it?

"No one told me, I heard it with my own ears. I was on the rockery at the time and heard it myself. The rockery was just too high, and it took me a while to come down. That’s why I came so late! Look, the clothes I’m wearing have been torn because I hurriedly climbed down the rockery. I climb the rockery, and my mother will punish me. I said it despite the risk of being beaten! How could I lie!" The Seventh Prince pointed to the back of his clothes.

Many ladies and young ladies couldn’t help but laugh when they heard this.

Only then did everyone notice that indeed there was a place on the back of the Seventh Prince’s red brocade robe that seemed to have been torn by something, and the clothes on the Seventh Prince were a bit dirty!

Empress: You know I’ll punish you, yet you still climb the rockery.

"You must have heard it wrong!" Li Mingfang still insisted.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Li Mingfang as if she were an idiot.

"How could I have heard it wrong! I’m not hard of hearing! I ask you, is your dog’s name Tianlang?" Despite his stature, the Seventh Prince demonstrated the natural dignity and condescension of a prince once he spoke.

"Yes." Under such momentum, Li Mingfang unconsciously nodded.

"Does it love to eat lamb leg?"

Li Mingfang nodded again!

"That settles it then. Both points are correct, how could I possibly have heard it wrong! Li Mingjun did indeed use the lamb leg as bait, allowing that named beast, Tianlang, to bite my sister-in-law!" declared the chubby Seventh Prince firmly.

The ladies present heard this and all nodded in agreement, while admiring the analytical abilities of the seventh prince, who, at just seven years old, demonstrated such an impressive analytical skill!

"My little grandson never lies!" The Empress Dowager also said at this moment, why would her grandson, who is not deaf, hear wrong!

"Indeed, the tutor said: Truthfulness is the utmost sincerity, without sincerity, you cannot move people. We can’t be dishonest people! So I never lie!" The Seventh Prince affirmed seriously.

In fact, what he’s most afraid of is his cousin Xi’er saying: Telling a lie, you’ll lose your front teeth! He’s already lost his front teeth, if his molars fall out, won’t he not be able to eat anything! That’s absolutely not okay!

Hearing this, the ladies looked at this little chubby prince with new respect, their words overflowed with praise.

With the testimonies of both the Lord of Rui’an County and the Seventh Prince, Li Mingjun’s deliberate act of setting the dog to bite someone was confirmed!

"Ming Jun is just a young boy. He was just being reckless!" Seeing this, Mrs. Li couldn’t help but explain for her son.

"Enough! If you’re wrong, admit it!" Madam Li said angrily.

Seventh Prince had witnessed and heard it himself, and they still wanted to extricate Li Mingjun at this time! As the elders, they would also be said to not distinguish between right and wrong!

It’s true that Ming Jun did wrong as a child and it could be said that it was due to his ignorance. They only need to admit their insufficient discipline, then go home and punish him!

The facts are in front of them. If they also only care about shirking their responsibilities at this time, it would only make everyone think they are not disciplined and are of the same kind! It’s the family style! Who would dare to interact with the Li family in the future!

"I wouldn’t play such games." The Seventh Prince muttered.

Seventh Prince is only seven years old, and Li Mingjun is already twelve! A seven-year-old child knows not to joke about such things, but a twelve-year-old doesn’t know, who would believe that!

Although twelve years old is considered a child, there are some girls who get married at thirteen! Of course, this is due to special circumstances, such as when the male’s family has an elder about to pass away, the girl is married to bring happiness, and they are only allowed to consummate the marriage after the girl reaches her period.

Of course, this is only under forced circumstances, usually they would only get married after the age of fifteen.

"It’s my fault for not disciplining properly, allowing that unfilial child to cause such a major incident!" Madam Li bowed and apologized to the general’s wife.

"Madam Li, you all must give me an explanation for this!" The general’s wife avoided the bow with anger in her heart, she looked at Madam Li and said firmly.

If she doesn’t get a satisfactory answer, then from this moment on, all ties between the two families are severed!

Although there was a past debt of saving a life, it had been repaid long ago.

"I will definitely bring that unfilial child and personally go to your door to apologize, if the general’s wife wants to punish him, she may!" Madam Li felt that she had lost all her prestige.

"I don’t need an apology!" What’s the use of apologizing? The mansion of Marquis Zhongyong doesn’t lack anything, who wants her to make amends! She just wanted to vent her anger!

Madam Li: "..."

At this moment, Doctor Luo came out. The general’s wife no longer paid attention to her, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is the Crown Princess now?"

"Madam, rest assured, it was just a bit of a shock, she caught a bit of chill and her pregnancy was a bit disturbed. Fortunately, it has been three months, there is no big problem, I have already written a prescription, she should just lie in bed and rest for these few days."

A bit shocked, caught a chill, her pregnancy was disturbed, and you say there’s no big problem?! How can people be reassured! The general’s wife quickly ran in to see her daughter-in-law.
