King Liang was shocked, deeply puzzled, not knowing if Li Mingrui was faking his surrender to Bai Jinxiu or truly betraying him.
Meanwhile, Li Mao and his son exchanged glances. Li Mao pursed his lips tightly, anger rising suddenly, but it dissipated quickly... He immediately understood his son's intent. The look in his eyes towards his son changed from anger to reassurance and appreciation.
Only by standing on opposite sides, regardless of whether King Liang or the Crown Prince became the victor, the Li family could at least ensure its survival.
To sacrifice one life for the benefit of the entire clan was a worthwhile deal.
It seemed that in this life, they would be fortunate enough to have a match, to see who bet on the right person.
Li Mao feigned anger and rebuked Li Mingrui: "Li Mingrui, how dare you falsely accuse your father! Are you even human?!"
Li Mingrui's eyes were filled with tears, his throat choked and unable to speak.
