On Vermilion Bird Avenue, a wedding procession stretching for miles advanced in grand splendor.
The gilded bridal sedan, carried by sixteen bearers, shimmered under the sunlight. The embroide...
"You want to stay at the Cheng family's house for a few days?" Zhu Jingchen asked his son, somewhat puzzled.
"Your subject does not wish to," Zhu Hanyu said without hesitation.
"Then I won't go," Zhu Jingchen said with a smile.
Xu Heming returned to the Prince An's mansion looking exhausted.
Qingchuan and Qingsong had been waiting for Xu Qingshi to return.
"Do you have any news from the Qing Dynasty?" Xu Heming asked, looking at the two of them.
"Your Highness, we only found the marks Qingyuan left for us, but we didn't find them," Qingchuan said with some guilt.
"Didn't return to the manor?" Xu Heming was taken aback, not expecting that Xu Qingshi hadn't come back.
He assumed that Xu Qingshi, having suffered injustice at the Zhou family's home, would surely return to complain to the old princess.
"No," Qingsong quickly replied.
"Have you looked for him at Liangqi Courtyard?" Xu Heming thought that when they went to the Grand Princess's residence last time, they secretly brought the child back and hid him at Liangqi Courtyard.
Could it be that it has returned this time, but no one has noticed?
"Your Highness, we have sent people to Liangqi Courtyard three times today, and the young master has indeed not returned," Qingsong said with certainty.
"Has anyone strange come to the manor today?" Xu Heming felt that this was not Xu Qingshi's usual behavior.
"There were two farmers today, I don't know why they went to Liangqi Courtyard," Liu Ming quickly said from the side.
"What kind of farmers?" Xu Heming asked, frowning.
“One big and one small, they look like a grandfather and grandson,” Liu Ming said after thinking for a moment.
"Where are they?" For some reason, Xu Heming felt that this person might be Xu Qingshi.
"They've left the manor. They're probably the vegetable farmers who delivered vegetables today. They needed to use the restroom but went to the wrong place," Liu Ming quickly said.
“Go and see if Liangqi Courtyard is missing anything,” Xu Heming said, frowning.
"Your Highness suspects that the two men..." Liu Ming was shocked. Could it be that the two men were thieves?
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The young master... the young master is missing!" Qingyuan rushed in, shouting as he ran.
"Qingyuan? Where is the young master?" Qingchuan asked quickly when he saw Qingyuan suddenly return.
Several pairs of eyes simultaneously turned to Qingyuan.
In a courtyard on the eastern outskirts of Beijing.
"What's going on? Didn't you say it was just the young one? Why did you bring back an old one?" Zhou Zuo looked at his younger brother Zhou You speechlessly.
"Oh, brother, they were together. I wanted to catch just one, but that old man was holding onto the child tightly, so I had to carry them both back," Zhou You said, scratching his head.
"Alright, now you deal with this old man." Zhou Zuo then looked at Xu Qingshi and Li Tianyou.
Looking at Xu Qingshi, who was dressed plainly and whose face was covered in soot.
"Are you sure this person is really the heir apparent of Prince An?" Zhou Zuo asked Zhou You with a look of suspicion.
He seriously suspected that his younger brother had mistaken the person for someone else.
“I saw him come out of the Prince An’s residence with my own eyes.” Zhou You thought for a moment, then became somewhat uncertain.
"Idiot, didn't I tell you to follow someone?" Zhou Zuo was furious.
He wanted the heir of Prince An, but he didn't even know whose child his younger brother had found.
"You caught the wrong person? Then...then I'll go catch them again?" Zhou You said, somewhat embarrassed.
