Chapter 545: The Wang Family is a Stepping Stone!

"Li Laer carried his niece inside, "Mother, I'll go talk to Young Master Ye for a bit. You should head home.""Alright, I'll chop the vegetables first. When Hongying gets back, we can make the filling...When Li Lao Er saw everyone arguing, their faces flushed and necks thick, he finally said: “Distinguished guests, there is only one Golden Lotus, and I can’t chop it up to give to everyone. So, I thought of a good idea for an auction. Everyone rely on your own skills and luck, see who can take the Golden Lotus home.”

"What a good idea Tell us quickly, Master!" someone urged.

Li Laoer waved his hand and said, "There's no need to rush this. There's something else I need to take care of first. It'll also serve as a way to relieve everyone's boredom."

People speculated that the Li family had prepared dances or music. Unexpectedly, Zheng Feng and Zheng He knocked on the door of an empty side room.

Then, six guards walked out of the door one after another, escorting four men in black.

The guards had been up all night, their faces weary, but their eyes were bright.

Several men in black were still able to walk, but they seemed half-dead, their entire beings radiating fear and death.

The guards brought the men in black to their knees, then threw a few sickles and scissors before them.

What's going on What are the Lis up to

Everyone was left with a puzzled look on their faces.

But some with sharp eyes recognized the guard's origin and said, "This is a guard from the Marquis' Mansion"

Li Lao'er nodded and brought out the same set of words he had told Wen Xian Sheng last night.

Everyone immediately shifted from surprise to anger. Such a beautiful flower, and someone wanted to destroy it!

"These people are simply despicable!"

"That's right, what use do we have for their lives They should be killed immediately!"

Even Zhou, the dean who prides himself on his cultivation, spoke up. "Fortunately, Grandpa has protection, otherwise we wouldn't have the opportunity to see these beautiful flowers today, nor this precious golden lotus!"

All eyes couldn't help but turn to the dazzling golden lotus blooming from the ground, like a true Buddha seated upon a golden lotus, sheltering all the renowned flowers.

Li La Er also wore a grim expression, speaking in a voice choked with sorrow: "Our Li family has always been kind to others. I never expected that we would have such a deep feud with someone! Fortunately, the guards from Houfu were skilled and managed to get these people to reveal the truth."

Having said that, he looked at the crowd and the complex-looking Wang Zechen. With a cold face, he said: “Wang sir, these people all say they are from your Wang family, and their order is to destroy all the famous flowers in Baihuayuan and prevent us from opening today.”

"If Wang has any grievances against our Li family, please speak your mind openly. I will stand my ground and defend myself to the end!"

But how could you destroy such a beautiful flower It's a wonder of the world, a masterpiece created by heaven and earth. How could you be so cruel!

Wang Zechen's face was ashen, but inside, he seethed with rage.

These people were indeed sent by him. Originally, they thought that even if they couldn't complete the mission, there was always a chance of escape, after all, these people were all cultivated by the mansion for several years.

This morning, he didn't wait for these people to reply and thought they might be injured or just delayed in their response.

But he was afraid something might go wrong, so he followed his comrades to the Baihuayuan Garden to check it out.

The results of his visit to Bai Huayuan revealed no abnormalities. He then suspected that these people had been delayed by something and hadn't patronized Bai Huayuan last night...

As one pot of flowers after another was displayed, he grew to love them immensely and gradually forgot all about it.

To everyone's surprise, Old Li managed to hold back until now before lashing out!

His mind raced, trying to figure out how to cover his tracks, but a guard suddenly patted the back of a man in black.

The man in black seemed to be suffocated in a jar, suddenly opened, he took a deep breath and cried out for help, "Lord, save me! My mother is blind and lame, and I need to go back to support her!"

Wang Zechen almost choked on his blood.

There's nothing to hide anymore!

Everyone already assumed these people were sent by the Wang family, after all, everyone knew about the feud between the Li and Wang families.

The Wang family had too many reasons and motives to harm the Li family.

It's just like what Lao Er Li said, you can harm the Li family, win or lose depends on your skills, but don't implicate these flowers!

All present were flower lovers, especially the two celebrities who seemed to treat flowers like their lives.

If eyes could reach out with hands right now, they would all pick up the scythes and scissors on the ground to cut Wang Zecheng to pieces!

Everyone wore expressions of contempt, which only enraged Wang Zecheng further.

He was a scholar-official, supported by his family, and rose through the ranks quickly. He could be said to have enjoyed success for half his life.

Although his father is ill and his brother insane, he still doesn't consider the Li family to be a serious enemy.

He's nothing but a peasant who rose through the ranks by sucking up to the new marquis and then kissing up to the emperor.

But today, he fell right into this sycophant's hands!

This left him feeling as though his clothes had been stripped away, standing bare in the sunlight.

At this moment, he finally understood why his younger brother had gone mad...

Wang Zecheng forcibly suppressed the blood in his throat, cupped his hands and bowed to Li Lao Er and the others, putting on a bitter expression. "Li Grandpa, everyone, these people... are indeed our Wang family's men, but they usually obey my third brother's orders!"

As you all know, my third brother and my uncle's family have deep ties. Now that he's gone mad, we can't treat him like ordinary people. Perhaps hearing about the opening of Baihuayuan Garden, my third brother felt wronged and committed this grave mistake.

"I stand here to apologize on his behalf, Lord. Afterward, I will personally visit to offer my apologies. I hope you will not hold this madness against him."

Li Laoer sneered and didn't return the greeting, "Lord Wang, we both know who sent these people. But since you want to use Wang Sanye as a shield, there's nothing I can do about it.

"On ordinary days, I would certainly have a good chat with the esteemed gentleman. However, on such a fine day with such beauty before us and such renowned flowers in bloom, it wouldn't be appropriate to bring up such vulgar matters and spoil the enjoyment of all you flower lovers."

"Therefore, take the person away, Master. If any further disturbance occurs in the Hundred Flower Garden, if even a single flower or leaf is damaged, I will hold the Wang family responsible. Master Wang, please be careful!"

Wang Zeren's face was already devoid of any color.

Li Laoer berated him relentlessly, stripping him bare of all dignity. Now, he feigned magnanimity, letting the matter go, spewing nothing but empty platitudes!

Looking at the nodding heads of everyone praising, it is evident that they hold the Li family in very high regard.

Although he was standing, he had already become Li Lao Er's stepping stone!

After today, the news will spread, and everyone will know that Wang Zechen is a despicable villain, while Master Li is magnanimous and upright.

Wang Zechen could no longer bear it and turned to leave.

Several guards from the Marquis's residence escorted the man in black, seizing a sickle and a pair of scissors before following after him.

Outside the gate, several men in black were pushed to the ground heavily. Sickles and scissors were thrown beside them, and guards stood on both sides of the courtyard gate.

Outside, there were still dozens of idle people gathered, unable to enter the Hundred Gardens to admire the famous flowers. However, the roses on both sides of the wall still made people feel delighted.

Everyone had nothing important to do, so they looked at the flowers and chatted idly, making it lively.

As a result, they actually waited for a big commotion.

What on earth are all these black-clad figures and sickle-shaped scissors doing here

"Someone boldy asked, "Brother, what's going on with these people Are they here to rob us" a few times, smiling awkwardly and sheepishly, "That, I just saw it cracked all over, so I...""Master, please don't bother, quickly go have some tea, these flowers, let this old slave handle them, I...
