Chapter 64: Grace and Righteousness

Li Jing was angry and wanted to go to the clinic opposite to find Li Xiu, intending to teach this son a lesson. He was angry but never thought about why Li Xiu would go to the clinic?

However, just as Li Jing was about to leave the gate of Li's mansion, a team of cavalry rushed towards the street. The leader was a young man with a spirit. When he saw Li Jing going out, he immediately stopped the horse and laughed, "Where is General Li going?"

"I will pay homage to His Highness the King of Qin!" Li Jing immediately bent down and saluted. This young man was Li Shimin who had been drinking with him in the palace before. But what he didn't expect was that he actually appeared here after the banquet. At the same time, Pei Ju, Hong Niangzi and others behind him all came forward to salute when they saw Li Shimin.

"Haha, there is no need to be too polite. I heard that Li Zheng has returned, so I came to visit him. I also hope that General Li, you and your son can resolve the misunderstanding!" Li Shimin said with a smile. His purpose here was actually the same as Mr. Ma, who was to help Li Jing and Li Xiu and his son make peace. Of course, his purpose was more complicated than Mr. Ma, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to win over Li Jing and his son again.

When Li Shimin heard that he came here specifically to help Li Xiu talk, Li Jing couldn't help but turn dark. He was about to go to find Li Xiu's trouble, okay?

If it were another person, Li Jing would have left long ago, but Li Shimin was not an ordinary person after all, so Li Jing took a long breath and said, "Your Highness has trouble, but Li Xiu, the rebellious son, is lawless. Today I must teach him a lesson!"

After Li Jing finished speaking, he continued to strode towards the clinic diagonally opposite, leaving Li Shimin with a confused look on his face. He didn't understand what was going on? According to the news he received, Li Xiu had been taken back to the mansion by Hongfu Nu. Hongfu Nu said that the father and son should have made peace?

Li Shimin couldn't figure out the situation, but there was a wise man next to him. Pei Ju walked up to Li Shimin and explained it in a low voice. As a result, Li Shimin also showed an incredible expression after hearing this. However, he was like Hong Funnv, thinking that with Li Xiu's personality, he shouldn't do such impulsive things for no reason.

Li Jing didn't care about that much. In fact, he was a very typical traditional parent. The way to educate his children was very simple and crude. As long as this matter was related to his own children, he would beat you up without asking the reason and ignore his children's feelings at all. Such parents were also common in later generations, let alone during the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xiu hugged Qi Niang and gently coaxed her to sleep, but at this moment, Li Jing rushed in angrily. When he saw him, he immediately shouted angrily: "Sir, you did a good thing!"

After Li Jing finished yelling, he was about to go forward to beat Li Xiu without saying anything. At this time, Li Xiu didn't even understand the situation. Seeing that Li Jing's slap was about to fall on his face, fortunately, Ma Jun next to him reacted quickly and hugged Li Jing's arm and shouted: "Senior Brother Yao, what are you doing?"

Qi Niang, who was about to fall asleep, was also awakened by Li Jing's roar. Although she hadn't seen Li Jing's father for a long time, when she saw the angry Li Jing, she was so scared that she shrank into Li Xiu's arms. Her big eyes were filled with tears, but she tried not to cry.

Seeing Qi Niang's terrified and aggrieved look, and looking at the slap that was only a few inches away from him, Li Xiu couldn't help but get angry. However, Li Jing was his nominal father after all, so he could not really fight with Li Jing, otherwise if he had reason, he would turn out to be ignored. So he suddenly sneered: "Uncle Ma let go, don't stop him!"

"Boy, you're crazy. Explain the matter quickly so that you father and son will not have any misunderstandings again!" Ma Ye shouted angrily when he heard this, and at the same time he grabbed Li Jing tightly to avoid him from really beating Li Xiu. At this time, Hongfunu and Pei Ju also stepped forward to persuade him, but Li Jing didn't listen to anyone's words, and insisted on teaching Li Xiu a lesson.

Seeing Li Jing who was about to take action without asking, even after being persuaded by others, Li Xiu was extremely angry, but at least he had not lost his mind, especially Qi Niang in his arms, trembling all over his body at this time. He was afraid that he would scare her. At this moment, he saw that Li Shimin did not step forward due to his identity, so he strode over and stuffed Qi Niang to him and said, "Please take care of his sister on your behalf!"

Li Shimin was stunned at first, then he understood Li Xiu's intentions. He nodded immediately, then hugged Qi Niang and retreated outside the door. This made Li Xiu no longer have any worries. He turned around and roared angrily: "Let me go!"

Li Xiu's roar also scared everyone. Pei Ju instinctively let go of Li Jing's hand. When Ma Ye saw Li Xiu with red eyes, hesitated for a moment and finally let go. Only Hong Fu Nu was still holding Li Jing hard at this time, and at the same time raised her head to scold Li Xiu, "Xuer, what are you doing, why don't you apologize to your father!"

"Haha, what's the use of apologizing? He isn't he going to hit me? Mother, please let go. Let him use my son as a punching bag for the last time today. It's better to beat me to death directly, just to give him my life back. If I can't beat him to death, I will have no relationship with him in the future!" Li Xiu sneered, and then said with a determined look on his face. Last time, it was Li Jing who said he would not recognize his son. Now he has gone back and no longer recognized Li Jing's father. He is not such a ruthless and unruly father!

"All beast! I'll beat you to death today!" Li Jing became even more annoyed when he heard Li Xiu's words. He broke away from the Hongfu girl and slapped Li Xiu.

However, this time, I still couldn't hit Li Xiu because Hong Fu Nu stepped forward and hugged Li Jing's arm again, and then said to him with a begging look: "Master, are you really going to make Xiu'er hate you, your father?"

"Hongfu, you have also heard that this evil beast no longer recognizes me as a father. Since that's the case, it's better to kill him directly and just pretend that I have never given birth to this son!" Li Jing felt soft when he saw his wife's expression, but then he shouted in great anger.

The reason why Li Jing was so angry was actually nothing to do with Li Xiu's big fuss about the Li family. The most important thing was that Li Xiu's performance just now was to provoke the majesty of his father. After all, in his concept, he was the head of the family and the supreme king in the family, especially his children, even his life was given by him. Therefore, no matter what he did, the children must obediently obey his arrangements, otherwise it would be disobedience and unfilial, not to mention that Li Xiu would always say that he would break his grace and righteousness from his kindness.

Li Jing's concept is not wrong. At least in the patriarchal society of the Tang Dynasty, his concept actually represents the vast majority of fathers. Unfortunately, Li Xiu was not the son who was respectful and afraid of him. He could not accept the domineering patriarchal power of Li Jing. Therefore, the conflict between the two was actually destined since Li Xiu had just traveled through time and could not stop it.

"Hahaha~, father?" Li Xiu suddenly burst into laughter, then suddenly stopped, and shouted with a sad and angry expression, "It's so ridiculous, you actually have the face to call yourself a father? When our brother and sister were bullied by others, hid in the quilt and cried bitterly, where were you? When we were wronged by Mrs. Xing and locked in that cold Buddhist temple, and were cold and hungry, where were you? When I was hungry outside the city and almost died there, where were you?"

Three questions in a row made Li Xiu completely gush out the grief and anger in his heart, and tears couldn't help but flow. If he had regarded the original Li Xiu as another person before, then now he has completely substituted himself in Li Xiu's identity. From then on, he and Li Xiu will never distinguish themselves from each other!

Faced with Li Xiu's questioning, Li Jing, who was extremely angry on the other side, suddenly calmed down and showed a somewhat awkward look on his face. It was the first time that he was questioned like this by his children. The key was that he could not answer any of these questions.

Li Jing was speechless when asked. The Hongfu girl next to her seemed to want to explain something, but she opened her mouth several times but could only sigh helplessly, and the scene became very quiet. But at this moment, a weak voice came from outside the door and said, "Brother, don't blame your father, he...he is just too busy!"

The speaker was naturally Qi Niang who was ill. She saw that she had got off the ground by herself, holding the door frame with her hands and standing outside like a quiet little flower. Her round little face still had a look of cowardice, and her big eyes looked at Li Jing with a bit of attachment. After all, in the heart of her young daughter, her father is always so tall and majestic.

Seeing Qi Niang's weak look, Li Xiu hurriedly walked over and picked her up. Li Shimin stood behind Qi Niang, and at this time he made a helpless expression to him, indicating that Qi Niang insisted on standing by herself and would not let him hug her at all.

"Xi'er, Qi Niang... Qi Niang was right. It's not that your father didn't care about you, but he was too busy and really couldn't take time to care about you!" Hong Funu also spoke out, but even she felt a little dry when she said her words.

"Mother, thank you for your care for our brother and sister in the past!" Li Xiu was so calm that he was terrible. After he finished speaking to Hongfu Nu, he turned to Li Jing and said, "No matter how great the achievements you have made for the Tang Dynasty, even if you are granted the title of marquis and prime minister in the future, you are still not a qualified father!"

After saying that, Li Xiu never looked at Li Jing again, hugged Qi Niang and turned around and left the clinic. Ma Ye’s horse was outside. He flew onto the horse and left without looking back.

Looking at the background of Li Xiu leaving, Li Jing also showed a complex look on his face, and Hong Fu Nu sighed helplessly. She knew that Li Xiu would probably never come back in the future.
