Rebirth: So what if my husband is a little crazy? He loves me.

Chapter 288 Political Disagreements

(My darlings, a large part of the plot has been added at the beginning. Scroll up from here to Chapter 278. From there, you can follow the plot.)

—This is a separator expressing my love for you all—

Shen Zizai was speechless after being rebuked by his wife. After a long pause, he finally said, "Even so, a ruler is a ruler. We, as his subjects, should prioritize the well-being of the country and offer advice and assistance, rather than kicking someone when they're down."

"Shen Zizai, are you still not done yet?" Xiao Bailing had already started rolling up her sleeves.

Shen Zizai shrank his neck slightly, but thinking of the current state of the court, he straightened his chest again and said, "Facts have proven that we shouldn't have done that."

Seeing that Xiao Bailing was also relentless, Shen Yue quickly ran over and hugged her mother, while constantly giving Shen Li meaningful glances.

At this point, it's time to back down.

“Father, that man is already in Dali Temple prison. No matter what you say, he won’t come back.” Shen Li advised, “Why don’t you sit down, calm down, and have an orange?”

"You..." Shen Zizai was so angry that he paced back and forth in the room, unable to sit still for even a moment, seeing that Shen Li was still calm.

"Mother, please sit down and have some tea," Shen Yue comforted her mother.

Shen Li continued to say to her father, "The current political situation is unclear because the Yi King's lineage has lost its checks and balances. It seems that His Majesty and the Yi King have won, but do you think this can last?"

"Of course not, this is a sign of national ruin!"

Shen Li shook her head slightly: "With a loyal and upright minister like Father, our Great Zhao will surely prosper and will not perish."

"..." Shen Zizai was at a loss for words for a moment.

“Since they won’t perish, this situation won’t last long.” Seeing that her father’s anger seemed to have subsided, Shen Li continued, “Father, you must trust time. It will bring this unbalanced situation back on track.”

After calming down, Shen Zizai seemed to be deep in thought. He unconsciously sat down and became quiet.

Shen Li handed him a cup of tea, which Shen Zizai took and drank, though he seemed to be still thinking about something.

Seeing this, Shen Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She thought they would start arguing because of her father's angry expression, but her sister resolved the conflict with just a few words.

"You stubborn old man, I'll have to teach you a lesson with your daughter." Xiao Bailing was still fuming.

"Mother, have some oranges." Shen Li handed over the peeled oranges.

With Xiao Bailing smiling, the family atmosphere finally became harmonious, and they started discussing what to eat that evening.

Shen Li, immersed in the moment, slowly smiled.

If she had truly followed in the footsteps of her previous life, things wouldn't be like this now.

As for her father, she knew that arguing was useless and it was impossible to change his mind. Fortunately, their differences in political views did not prevent them from being a family.

"Shouldn't we make Prince Yi the crown prince this time?" Shen Yue said, blinking her big eyes.

Xiao Bailing nodded: "Yes, even the Crown Prince is no match for him, so who in the court can compete with him?"

“No.” Shen Zizai suddenly said, “The ancestral rules establish the eldest son as the heir and the legitimate heir. These rules cannot be broken. The fourteenth prince should be established.”

The fourteenth prince, Li Che, is His Majesty's only legitimate son.

Only by establishing him as heir can the chaos be set right and the unhealthy trend of vying for the throne be stopped.

"Huh? That little bean sprout?" Shen Yue looked up in surprise. She often thought of that little guy, but she had never associated him with the crown prince or the future emperor.

Isn't he just a serious-looking kid?

Regardless of Shen Yue's reaction, Shen Zizai looked at Shen Li and asked, "Li'er, what's your opinion?"

“Father is absolutely right, but let’s not rush to bring it up. Let them argue for a while first.”
