Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands

Chapter 875: Li Xing’an Extra (03) Unstoppable Fate (Finale)_5

The princess sent from Nanyue for a marriage alliance has gone missing and has not been found. Li Boxuan and the Wei Family have already heard about this.

When the two heard that the marriage alliance’s Pingchang Princess had been hidden in Li Xing’an’s residence for over half a month, they were stunned in shock.

"Outrageous! What is the third one up to? Is he itching for trouble?" Li Boxuan slapped the dragon chair as he stood up, "Second brother, call someone to bring the third one to the palace!"

"Father, once you summon third brother to the palace, how should we handle this matter?" Li Xingsheng glanced at Ling Yuezi and asked.

Following his gaze, Li Boxuan also glanced at Ling Yuezi.

Ling Yuezi said nothing, only lowered her eyelids, standing quietly in a composed manner.

Although composed outwardly, her heart was probably not calm.

Pingchang Princess’s alliance represents Nanyue Country, and damaging Pingchang Princess’s reputation would harm Nanyue’s image.

The Wei Family gently tugged Li Boxuan’s sleeve, quietly reminding him to consider the relations between the two countries.

How could Li Boxuan not have thought of this? He said to Ling Yuezi, "What does the Crown Princess Consort think? How should we handle this situation?"

Ling Yuezi was also waiting for Li Boxuan’s words; she bowed and answered, "Let Father make the decision to save my cousin’s reputation."

Li Boxuan said, "I will bestow Pingchang Princess to the third one, what do you think? The third one is only five years older than Pingchang Princess, and he has no bad habits, nor does he have other women in his residence. Marrying Pingchang won’t tarnish her reputation."

The Wei Family also said, "With me and your father supervising the third one, Pingchang Princess certainly will not be wronged."

Seeing both the Emperor and Empress had spoken, Ling Yuezi said, "Thank you, Emperor, for arranging the marriage. Thank you, Empress, for completing the arrangement."

Li Boxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Xingsheng, "Immediately send a message to summon the third one to the palace."

The Wei Family said, "Also invite Pingchang Princess to the palace."

Ling Yuezi acknowledged and instructed someone to convey the message.

.

Li Xing’an was summoned to the palace and heard that he was to be married to Pingchang Princess, he immediately jumped up, "I don’t want it!"

Li Boxuan coldly retorted, "You’ve hidden that girl’s whereabouts at home for over half a month. How will she marry in the future if you don’t take responsibility?"

Li Xing’an was puzzled, "Father, when did I bring someone home?"

The Wei Family grim-faced said, "That person called Luo Sheng is the one!"

Li Xing’an’s eyes widened, "Wha... what? Is... isn’t he a man?"

The Wei Family’s face darkened with anger, "Are you insinuating about marrying a man? I’m telling you, dismiss the thought!"

No wonder he brought home a boy dressed as Pingchang Princess and hid her for half a month; does the third son truly like men?

The Wei Family was so angry, her chest hurt, her head hurt, everything hurt.

Li Boxuan gritted his teeth, sneering coldly, "If you dare to marry a man, I’ll break your leg!"

Speaking this, he picked up the chicken feather duster for dusting the table, preparing to swat at Li Xing’an’s leg.

Ling Yuezi and Li Xingsheng stood aside, suppressing laughter, not stepping in.

Li Xing’an, frightened, hid behind Ling Yuezi, knowing everyone in the family respects Ling Yuezi. His father dares to hit anyone but not Ling Yuezi, not even dare to scold, "Second sister-in-law, save me!"

Li Xingsheng actually stepped aside to allow their father to strike Li Xing’an.

Ling Yuezi stopped Li Boxuan, "Father, I believe in third brother’s taste, he likes girls, he just hasn’t found one he truly admires yet."

"Yes, yes, not found yet." Li Xing’an quickly nodded.

Li Boxuan glared at his third son, returned to the dragon seat and sat down, "Summon Pingchang Princess."

Ling Yuezi walked to the palace doors, saying outside, "The Emperor summons Pingchang Princess."

Inside the palace, there were only members of the Li Family, not a single attendant.

Ling Luo’s maid couldn’t enter, nervous as she entered the palace hall.

Someone outside casually closed the door.

Ling Yuezi led her to stand before Li Boxuan, "Father, she’s here."

Li Xing’an’s eyes glazed over upon seeing Ling Luo in female attire approaching.

Before Ling Luo came close, he quickly walked over and looked at Ling Luo from top to bottom then again bottom to top, "You... you are a woman?" He even circled her twice, sniffing around her.

Ling Luo blushed, "Yes, Third Prince."

"Why didn’t you say earlier, I almost..." Almost dragged Ling Luo to bathe together.

While Ling Luo was asleep, he had secretly touched her face, curious about why a man’s face could be so smooth and fair.

If he knew Ling Luo was a woman, he wouldn’t have dared touch her, even if beaten to death.

However, in the future...

Can he touch now?

Why is her face so smooth? He could ask directly now.

Thinking that from now on he can openly touch Ling Luo’s face, Li Xing’an’s face turned red. He sneakily glanced at her and quickly lowered his head.
