After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Chapter 514 I Want to Be My Own Master

The old demon ancestor is really fertile!

This, this, this... There are five more cubs all of a sudden. When will it be his turn?

Chao Li pouted, his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.

However, Zhao Ying's family was very happy. Seeing Shangguan Qingwan resurrected, Zhao Ying hugged her and cried with joy. Then he found Chao Li and asked, "Who is this little brother..."

Shangguan Qingyue said, "He is my subordinate! Mother, you can just call him Chao Li."

Chao Li crossed his arms and raised his chin proudly.

The next second, "He is also Daddy's subordinate! Hehe," the little guy thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Mom, I know, he should be considered a slave in our family!"

Household slave Chao Li: ...It's up to you whether I laugh or not...

Zhao Ying probably understood Chao Li's position. She smiled softly and asked someone to greet her warmly, "Brother Chao Li, come and have dinner with us?"

This sentence was a critical blow to Chao Li. His eyes suddenly lit up and he had a very good impression of Zhao Ying. His rapidly working brain came up with a good idea: could he recognize this beautiful woman as his stepmother?

In this way, he is the sixth in line to the throne of the devil?

The old Duke, Shangguan Zhu, and Shangguan Dan were all there, and Shangguan Qingwan had returned. It was a proper reunion dinner, everyone was very happy, and the food was plentiful. Everyone else was used to it, and they drank wine, chatted, and ate. Then, everyone's eyes turned to Chao Li.

Chao Li swept away the remaining clouds like a whirlwind... and grabbed the mat.

Zhao Yingmei's heart skipped a beat, thinking that her Yue'er had really suffered in the past, and that Modao seemed to be really poor.

Zhao Ying looked at Chao Li lovingly and asked someone to serve some more dishes.

Chao Li looked at the endless supply of delicious food and his eyes felt a little sore. After a while, tears actually flowed out.

Shangguan Chengjing was a sincere man, so he asked directly, "Little brother, why are you crying?"

"I'm crying... I'm still not as smart as the old demon ancestor. I should go to the human world and find a beautiful and wealthy wife like a princess to support. How comfortable it would be. No wonder the old demon ancestor raised her so plump..."

The little fellow was eating his meal in the baby chair, holding his chopsticks. Hearing this, he said, "Then Daddy is not as good as me, Chong Ming. Daddy and Mommy are dead, and all the money is mine!"

Zhao Ying: ...

After the family finished their meal, they returned to their respective courtyards, and Zhao Ying took Shangguan Qingyue to sleep.

As night fell, Chao Li sat on the doorstep, looking at the moon with a melancholy look on his face.

Shangguan Qingwan and Shangguan Bailin came over and sat on his left and right respectively.

Shangguan Bailin followed Chao Li's gaze and asked, "Do you miss home?"

Chao Li shook his head.

Shangguan Qingwan said softly, "You look very sad..."

She was responded with a loud and crisp burp.

Shangguan Qingwan and Bai Lin: ...

"I...hiccup...just don't understand...hiccup...why...hiccup it's so difficult for me to get a higher position..."

Shangguan Bailin: "What position do you want to hold?"

Chao Li said disdainfully, "Hiccup... Of course it's the position of Demon Ancestor! Hiccup..."

He sobbed, "Originally, after the old Demon Ancestor died, it should have been my turn, but then, a little Demon Ancestor appeared. It doesn't matter, I can hold the emperor hostage to control the princes, but now you are here! Five of them!!"

Chao Li said this with gritted teeth and gestured with his hand.

Shangguan Qingwan and Shangguan Bailin understood. At the same time, Shangguan Qingwan felt a little embarrassed. "Well, can you say this to my face?"

Chao Li snorted coldly, "I'm drunk, I'm talking nonsense!"

Shangguan Bailin was surprised, "You didn't drink?"

Shangguan Qingwan had a better understanding of Chao Li. She explained, "I got drunk while eating."

"Oh."

Shangguan Qingwan asked, "You are already below one demon and above all others, why do you still care so much about power and status?"

"What do you care about me!" Chao Li shouted at her fiercely, "I am willing. Do you know how boring the life of a demon is? If I don't find something to do, I will be useless!"

"I want to be my own master!"

Shangguan Qingwan smiled dryly, "Okay, okay, you are awesome."

"Well, I wanted to inform you that your bedroom is ready, but after listening to what you said, I think living too comfortably will make you lose your purpose in life. How about this, you stay in the yard..."

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant..."

"Second brother, go back to sleep..." Shangguan Qingwan yawned and waved to Shangguan Bailin. Shangguan Bailin went over and the brother and sister left.

Only Chao Li and a yard full of hungry mosquitoes were left.

……

"Ah? Damn, Yue'er is so powerful?"

"you do not say!"

Zhao Ying patted the little guy's butt lovingly and listened to the little guy's day schedule. Although the little guy didn't listen to her, he apologized obediently.

Zhao Ying's heart softened, and she couldn't help but lower her head and kiss Shangguan Qingyue on the forehead. After the kiss, she asked, "Didn't you see your father?"

"No, mother..."

Zhao Ying was puzzled, "Since your father has returned to his throne, why don't you go home?"

"I don't know either..."

Zhao Ying was a little disappointed with Shangguan Shu. She missed him, wanted to see him, and wanted to talk to him. Didn't he know?

Why don't you come back?

Forget it, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t come back. She can just focus on seizing the throne!

Dingwangfu.

Qian Chengluo said, "Princess Chengqian will hold a funeral for Shangguan Shu tomorrow, so the fact that Your Highness killed Shangguan Shu cannot be concealed anymore."

Hengbi also had a serious expression on his face, "We fell into a trap. We didn't expect Shangguan Shu to set up a trap with his death in order to bring down the prince."

Qian Chengluo: "Yes, Shangguan Shu was not killed by your Highness, but by Shangguan Zhu! This despicable villain! Your Highness, I suggest that you strike first and have the Ministry of Justice arrest Shangguan Zhu and interrogate him, forcing the princess to compromise!"

Hengbi nodded, "That's a good idea, Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

Zhao Xi suddenly came back to his senses, but still looked thoughtful. Hengbi and Qianchengluo exchanged glances when they saw this. Hengbi said, "Your Highness has worked hard these days. It is my humble servant's fault for not doing his job well."

Zhao Xi waved his hands, "It's not your fault, Shangguan Shu was just too cruel."

Qian Chengluo echoed, "Yes, who would have thought that he would risk his life..."

A hint of darkness flashed in Hengbi's eyes. "Sixth brother, sixth brother, you're really amazing in killing two birds with one stone!"

I don’t know if you succeeded...

"As for what you just said about arresting Shangguan Zhu, there is no need. At this point, with Zhao Ying's feelings for Shangguan Shu, the safety of Shangguan Zhu is not enough to make her give up revenge."

"Instead of holding on to this little evidence, why not..." Zhao Xi's eyebrows were stern, "A Luo, has General Long returned to Beijing?"

General Long was once a general under Wei Fu. After Wei Fu's downfall, 200,000 of his 300,000 troops were transferred to Zhao Xi. Those generals have all defected to Zhao Xi.

Hengbi said, "Your Majesty wants to..."

Zhao Xi said calmly, "Everything is fake, only military power is real."

"I have already petitioned my father to send people to take away the wives of the four generals of the Southern Territory and put them under house arrest. If Zhao Ying wants to play this card, I'm afraid..." Zhao Xi didn't finish his words, but a trace of sadness flashed across his brows.
