Chapter 305

"If there's no other way, we'll find a way. The child is with the Zhou family now, so let Yuying spend more time with him. Later, we'll find a reason to make the child fall ill or something, and then we'll get Prince An to come. By then, we'll have made it a fait accompli. I don't believe he won't marry Yuying." Wu said to Zhou Changfeng after a moment of silence.

She thought that if Xu Heming was unwilling to marry Zhou Yuying, she would have a reason to make a scene with him.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Changfeng paused, thinking to himself, "Old ginger is indeed spicier; my mother's method is simply divine."

“Mother is indeed very thoughtful. Does Mother wish to see Qingshi?” Zhou Changfeng asked Wu Shi again.

"I'm tired, so let's just forget about the child. You can have Yuying get along with the child later." Madam Wu waved her hand. It was just a child; she didn't think she needed to please him.

As long as Zhou Yuying gets along well with him, the child will eventually be in her hands.

"yes!"

Zhou Changfeng withdrew, and neither of them had asked where Xu Qingshi lived from beginning to end.

Prince An's Mansion

"You sent Qingshi to that wolf's den of the Zhou family?" The old princess clutched her chest, angrily pointing at Xu Heming's nose and accusing him.

"Mother, I have my own plans for this matter. I will go and bring him back in a few days." Although Xu Heming felt that it was inappropriate for Xu Qingshi to go to the Zhou family, there was no turning back now that things had come to this.

It would be better to ensure that the Zhou family has no reason to ask him for anything in the future.

Thus, the only way to solve the problem once and for all was to sacrifice Xu Qingshi and stay for a few days, which Xu Heming felt was worthwhile.

"Arrangements? What arrangements? You need to use a child? I've cherished that child since he was a baby, and you want to give him to the Zhou family? Xu Heming, why don't you give yourself over there too?" the old princess scolded angrily.

"Mother, the Zhou family wants me to marry Zhou Yuying." Xu Heming said helplessly.

"Hmph, the Zhou family's wolfish ambitions have been brewing for quite some time now. You didn't just realize their true nature today, did you?" The old princess felt extremely displeased at the thought of Zhou Yuying.

Previously, because she was a member of the Zhou family, the old princess did not make things difficult for her, even though she disliked her.

But now that the Zhou family's schemes are about to backfire, how could he possibly still give them a friendly look?

“Mother, I just don’t want the Zhou family to come and cause trouble again in the future. Besides, with the Zhou family doing this, there’s no guarantee they won’t interfere with my wedding,” Xu Heming added.

"What are you afraid of? Your marriage to the girl from the Li family is an imperial decree. The Li family is now a second-rank official family, no less powerful than the Zhou family!" The old princess saw that her son was getting more and more like a senile person.

He's started to hesitate and overthink things.

Xu Heming remained silent and did not speak.

Imperial Palace, Kunning Palace

"You little rascal, you finally remembered to see your sister?" The Empress was very happy to see Cheng Qingli.

"Sister, I've missed you so much! I've decided to stay with you for a few days," Cheng Qingli said, nestled obediently beside the Empress.

"No, you should go back right now!" Zhu Hanyu said, hands on his hips, clearly annoyed.

Once this annoying aunt arrives, Mother will no longer be mine.

All she ever does is listen to her!

Zhu Hanyu therefore disliked this aunt very much.

"You little brat, this is my sister! I can stay with my sister as long as I want!" Cheng Qingli felt very happy every time she saw Zhu Hanyu's exasperated look.

Life in the palace was rather boring, so she had to find some fun for herself, and this little devil was the perfect source of that.
