My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 117 - 93: Certain Death Within Three Days!_3
Li Anning looked at Li Nuo with a deep gaze.
This guy clearly wasn’t as kind-hearted as he seemed.
As a first-class marquis, Marquis Yunyang’s eldest son, Li Yuan, was the heir to the marquisate; this case wouldn’t be easy to overturn.
The words she had told him at the Four Directions Hall, he really took them to heart, deciding to stir up trouble with officials and nobles, and he went straight for the First-class Marquis Mansion. She felt inferior by comparison.
She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you serious?"
Li Nuo nodded, "I’m serious."
Li Anning was a Law Practitioner; of course, she wished to bring all the evildoers in the world to justice, but it was precisely because she was a Law Practitioner that she had learned to weigh the pros and cons early on.
Marquis Yunyang was not just Marquis Yunyang; behind him stood a group of nobles.
Targeting Li Yuan would be tantamount to telling the nobles behind him that their progeny were no longer safe in the future, which would inevitably lead to their frantic retaliation.
Even as a Law Practitioner, sometimes, in order to maintain the law and serve the people for the long term, one must temporarily yield to the power.
Li Anning, looking into Li Nuo’s eyes, said, "I have to remind you, your father is your father, and you are you. You are without official rank and can judge cases at the Chang’an County Government because the court has not pursued the matter. Once things escalate, Li Yuan might not be punished, but you definitely won’t be able to continue judging cases at the government office."
Li Nuo said, "I know."
Li Anning was taken aback: "You know?"
Li Nuo honestly explained, "I can no longer judge cases at the government office. This morning, the three provinces issued an imperial decree to the Chang’an County Government..."
After hearing Li Nuo’s story, Li Anning’s pretty face grew cold with anger, "Outrageous!"
Their sect of Legalism had finally produced a talented newcomer, who had not yet entered the ranks, only to be strangled in the cradle by those people.
If he lost confidence and gave up the path of Legalism because of this, wouldn’t she be very lonely in the future?
Throughout all of Chang’an, pure disciples of Legalism were few and far between, and amongst her peers, the only one she could talk to was this one...
Li Anning immediately said, "Wait here, I’m going to call for someone!"
Li Nuo saw the hesitation Li Anning had just displayed, reached out and took her wrist, saying, "If this matter could harm Your Highness, I’d rather go to the Ministry of Justice and ask my father for help..."
He didn’t want Li Anning’s cultivation to be affected because of this incident; she had been so kind to him.
Li Anning waved her hand, "Don’t worry, a mere Marquis Yunyang is nothing in my eyes. Where is Li Yuan now? We will go and take revenge for you right now!"
Li Nuo had been keeping an eye on Li Yuan’s whereabouts ever since he decided to reinvestigate the case.
Just moments ago, Li Yuan had entered a famous building in Chang’an with a group of friends.
Tianxiang Building.
It was lunchtime, and normally Tianxiang Building would be packed, but today, the main hall of the building was devoid of a single person.
The whole building had been reserved by a prominent figure.
In a private room on the second floor, amidst the clinking of cups and lively atmosphere, Li Yuan downed a drink, feeling utterly exhilarated.
Thinking back to the scene at the entrance of the Chang’an government office, where Li Nuo looked disdainful yet powerless against him, he felt slightly relieved from the humiliation he had suffered the day before.
Although he felt it was far from enough, that was all he could do.
Even his father warned him not to provoke the son of Li Xuanjing after this incident.
As a child of Chang’an’s top elites, with the blood of the Imperial Family of Daxia coursing through his veins, the law was a joke to him.
In the past, anyone who offended him would be retaliated against on the spot.
He had never imagined that one day, he would need to resort to legal means.
And after so much effort, it served only to prevent Li Nuo from judging cases and continuing the Legalism cultivation.
It was like throwing a punch with full force, only to hit a pillow.
"How does being Li Xuanjing’s son matter? He can’t beat Brother Yuan, can he?"
"What’s a Minister of Justice? Just a dog of His Majesty. Whichever prince ascends the throne, the first one to be executed will be him!"
"Exactly, just a dog, nothing to fear."
"We’ll see how he dies when the time comes!"
...
The other young nobles present, listening to Li Yuan recount the day’s events, joined in laughing.

Everyone here was a noble of Daxia.
In their eyes, the court ministers were merely laborers who added bricks and mortar to the Li Family’s empire, whereas they were the real masters of this land.
Li Yuan sipped his drink and surveyed the crowd, warning, "Let me remind you, do not underestimate Li Xuanjing; otherwise, you won’t even know how you die, and the same goes for Li Xuanjing’s son. If you see him, steer clear and avoid provoking him, understand?"
These guys were used to being arrogant and looking down on everyone.
If they ever fell into Li Xuanjing’s hands, without the power of Marquis Yunyang Mansion to back them, they would die worse than dogs.
As friends, Li Yuan felt obliged to caution them.
Li Yuan’s solemn reminder cooled the atmosphere; the crowd looked at each other.
Someone couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Yuan, is the son of Li Xuanjing really that arrogant?"
Li Yuan snorted coldly, "Putting aside the years when he was not active, now that he has come forth, he is one of the people in Chang’an you absolutely cannot provoke. If you ever fall into his hands, don’t blame me for not warning you."
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone grew serious.
The atmosphere at the table also turned a few degrees colder.
