Chapter 252

However, after listening to Consort Ru's words, Qin felt that she was talking to a brick wall.

Does she really think Prince An is some kind of scallion on the street, someone who will be thrown into the government office if anyone gets involved with him?

Prince An doesn't have that much free time.

However, Qin knew in her heart that she probably couldn't explain things clearly to Consort Ru.

Now, Zhou Huilan is already in prison.

Even if she wanted to save someone, she would first need to find out why that person was in jail.

"You really don't know what she did? If you don't explain clearly, I can't help you save her!" Madam Qin looked at Consort Ru again and asked for confirmation.

Qin suspected that Consort Ru might actually know the truth but was deliberately keeping it from her.

"Sister, what do you mean by this? If I knew why, I would have told you long ago. Don't I know that every moment Huilan spends in prison, she is in greater danger? She is my darling!" Consort Ru said, then picked up her handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Send someone out to inquire and see if they can find out anything," Madam Qin said to Granny Chang, who was standing beside her, while rubbing her forehead.

"Sister, what about Huilan?" Consort Ru was displeased upon hearing this. It would take time to send someone to inquire, but what about her Huilan?

What should she do?

"What can she do? Just stay in jail!" Qin replied irritably.

He thought to himself, "This mother and daughter really know how to get themselves into trouble. They've only just returned and they've already offended the person in the capital who is the most dangerous to offend."

Do they really think this is Wuyang City?

Whoever they are, is someone the Zhennan Prince's Mansion can afford to offend?

Consort Ru's face turned pale, and she was extremely flustered.

At this moment, Consort Ru didn't know whether what Madam Qin told her was true or false, or whether Madam Qin was deliberately making things difficult for her.

But now, she has no choice.

The prince is not in the mansion.

She had no choice but to seek help from the Prince of Zhennan's mansion.

"Send someone to wait outside the palace. When they see the Marquis, tell him to come back immediately," Qin instructed the steward who had rushed over.

Prince An's Mansion

Just as Li Zhiwei was helping Yao Shi leave the Prince An's residence, she saw Xu Qingshi holding a bundle, waiting anxiously at the door.

Madam Yao looked at Xu Qingshi with some confusion, and then asked Li Zhiwei, who was standing to the side, with the same question in her mind, "This child has such poor judgment, why is he carrying a bundle? Where is he going?"

Madam Yao couldn't help but feel sorry for Xu Qingshi, who was still ill, yet he insisted on going out.

"Mother, let's go back first." Li Zhiwei sighed. She had a premonition that Xu Qingshi was mostly after her.

I thought to myself, why is Xu Qingshi even more clingy than his father?

Could it be that it's really because she was the one he brought back?

However, this matter was not brought to light.

Li Zhiwei tried to deceive herself by thinking that none of this had anything to do with her.

Seeing that her daughter was unwilling to talk about it, Madam Yao didn't ask any further. She just sighed inwardly, thinking that being a stepmother was always difficult.

I wonder if my daughter will suffer if she marries into the Prince An's mansion.

"Mother, are you leaving?"

Seeing that Li Zhiwei was ignoring him, Xu Qingshi felt a little sad, so he looked at Li Zhiwei with teary eyes and asked.
