The Found Stepmother, Your Dowry Is a Bit Too Much

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...

Chapter 334 Didn't Buy It Back (2/2)

In particular, she was kidnapped.

"Grandfather, do you think this can summon my father?" Xu Qingshi suddenly pulled out a signal flare from his pocket and asked with some confusion.

"What is this?" Li Tianyou was originally just a businessman and had never seen a signal flare before.

Now, although he is an official in the Ministry of Revenue, he doesn't need to use such things, and for a moment, he really doesn't know how to use this thing.

"Hehe, this is a good thing that Brother Qingsong gave me. He said that as long as you open it, it will set off fireworks." Xu Qingshi said proudly.

"In broad daylight, even if you set off these fireworks, no one will be able to see them, right?" Li Tianyou looked at the small tube, then at the bright sun overhead, and felt that it was a bit unreliable.

"It should be possible, right?" Xu Qingshi wasn't sure either, after all, he had never seen fireworks during the day.

"Forget it, if you want to see this, we can look at it later." Li Tianyou handed the signal flare back to Xu Qing, not taking it seriously.

"But Brother Qingsong said that as long as I take this out, they can find me no matter where I am. Grandfather, let's give it a try. I don't want to leave anymore." Xu Qingshi pouted unhappily.

He has been gone for a long time.

Thinking of the delicious food in the mansion, the fish in my hand suddenly didn't taste so good anymore.

Li Tianyou frowned upon hearing this.

He didn't want to leave either, but what if he stayed and those people caught him and took him back?

"Why don't we give it a try?" Li Tianyou thought. He didn't know if this thing would work, but he figured he might as well try it out.

"Try it!" Xu Qingshi looked at Li Tianyou with bright, expectant eyes.

Li Tianyou pulled out the signal flare in his hand, and with a whoosh, it seemed as if something shot into the sky.

Before Li Tianyou could react, he only saw a few wisps of smoke rising from the signal flare.

"So, are you sure your father can still find us?" Li Tianyou said, shaking the cigarette in his hand, trying to make it float higher.

Li Tianyou thought that this must be a little gadget that Qingsong brought to make Xu Qingshi happy.

Xu Qingshi looked up at the sky. Just now, he seemed to have seen something rushing into the sky.

However, upon looking at the pipe in Li Tianyou's hand...

Xu Qingshi wasn't sure if his father could really find him.

The secret guards in the capital were taken aback when they saw the signal flare fired by Xu Qingshi.

"Your Highness, a signal flare has been sent from a neighboring county in the suburbs," Qingchuan excitedly reported as he ran into Xu Heming's study.

Xu Heming was taken aback at first, but then couldn't recall what kind of signal there would be outside.

"Your Highness, could it be the Crown Prince?" Qingchuan asked excitedly.

Xu Heming frowned; he hadn't given Xu Qingshi a signal flare.

It shouldn't be him.

"Your Highness, I think I gave one to the Heir Apparent before." Qingsong then remembered that he had given one to Xu Qingshi before.

"Go find it quickly!" Xu Heming stood up in surprise upon hearing this.

With a gloomy face, Prince Lan Huai returned to his residence.

"Your Highness, you're finally back." Huo Yunzhi had heard early in the morning that Prince Lan Huai had gone to the Cheng family to buy a shop for her.

At this moment, she was excitedly waiting for Prince Lanhuai to give her the land deed for the Qin Tower.

At that time, not only will Qingyuzhai not let me go, but I won't even want to go.

"Hmm!" King Lan Huai was in a bad mood.

He was shocked to think that he had kindly wanted to arrange a marriage with the Cheng family, but they hadn't given him any face.

Otherwise, why would Cheng Tianyuan give up Qinlou to him?

Isn't it just that they feel they don't have much power and look down on themselves?

The thought that he had gone to the Cheng family because of Huo Yunzhi made Lan Huaiwang look at Huo Yunzhi with displeasure.

"Your Highness?" Huo Yunzhi frowned, not understanding why Prince Lan Huai had such an expression.

Did they not buy the shop back?
