Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 365

Chapter 365: Chapter 362: Arrogance_1

Lu Ping dragged Li Mingtang over just as Left Prime Minister Li Mao’s carriage was approaching.

"First Lady, Uncle Ping is here!" Shen Qingzhu said before stepping aside.

Lu Ping nodded to Shen Qingzhu, walked to the carriage, and whispered, "First Lady, Li Mingtang is still breathing. There are many onlookers."

"I know!" She responded coldly. "Wait for Li Mao’s carriage to stop and throw Li Mingtang in front of it."

"Yes!" Lu Ping cupped his fists in response. He stood by the carriage with Shen Qingzhu, gripping his sword tightly and staring intently at Li Mao’s carriage.

Inside the Li family’s carriage, Li Mao closed his eyes, contemplating how the emperor had mentioned the disaster in Yanwo during court today. The Crown Prince’s words in favor of King Liang seemed ill-intentioned.

The Crown Prince had praised King Liang, saying that King Liang was the emperor’s son and accompanied by the eldest son, who had been carefully taught by Left Prime Minister Li Mao. General Shi Panshan was assisting him. There was never such a grand mobilization for disaster relief. He advised the emperor not to underestimate King Liang’s abilities just because he did not show his talents daily. If King Liang put his mind to it, he would surely handle the disaster.

The Crown Prince’s proud demeanor of his brother satisfied the emperor.

But the implication was that if the disaster was not handled well, it would be King Liang’s fault.

Li Mao was deep in thought when the coachman said, "My lord, the road ahead is blocked. It looks like the carriage of the Princess of Zhen."

Li Mao’s palm tightened, and he opened his eyes. Bai Qingyan had indeed come!

So, Bai Qingyan must have those letters!

No, he couldn’t be sure yet. Maybe Bai Qingyan was bluffing to scare him. Today, he had to make things clear with Bai Qingyan. If Bai Qingyan didn’t produce the letters, he wouldn’t believe she had them.

Li Mao raised his chin slightly, adjusted his collar, and sat up straight, adopting the posture of the court’s Left Prime Minister.

If Bai Qingyan refused to hand them over, he would instruct his wife to demand the Empress Dowager to issue a favor, marrying the Lord of Gaoyi into their Li family after entering the palace.

In this way, if the letters were exposed... it would be the end of the family. The Lord of Gaoyi would not be spared.

If the letters were not with Bai Qingyan, she would help him find them to save her sister’s life!

If the letters were with Bai Qingyan, they would be like waste paper. Unless she could forsake her sister.

"Stop in front of the Princess of Zhen’s carriage!" Li Mao ordered coldly.

"Yes!"

Seeing Li Mao’s carriage slowly come to a stop, Lu Ping raised his hand and made a gesture to the guards behind him.

Two guards immediately dragged the blood-soaked Li Mingtang forward and threw him in front of Li Mao’s carriage.
