Chapter 351 Gift Giving (2/2)

Xu Qingshi spent a long time coaxing the old princess, and in the end, he even picked out quite a few good things from the old princess's private treasury.

"What did this boy pick out from the storeroom?" the old princess asked the old nanny, Luo, with some curiosity.

"Your Highness, the young master has picked out a few gemstones, perhaps to give to Miss Li." Granny Luo thought to herself, "Xu Qingshi is so attached to Li Zhiwei, and those are things for a girl's household; these must be for Li Zhiwei."

“This child is destined to be with Zhiwei.” Upon hearing this, the old princess did not object, since these things would eventually be handed over to them anyway.

They like it, so we'll give it to them now.

"Dad, are you really not going to rest here for a couple more days?" Li Zhiwei asked uncertainly, looking at Li Tianyou, who was determined to go home.

After all, her father's condition didn't look good.

She was really worried that her father hadn't recovered and something bad might happen to him.

"I'm fine, go home and rest. This bed isn't comfortable for me!" Li Tianyou said, making up an excuse.

In fact, he really didn't want to stay in the Prince An's mansion; he would feel more at ease staying at his own residence.

"Father, why don't you rest here first, and I'll go back to the manor to find someone to fetch you?" Li Zhiwei only took Qingyue with her when she went out today, and it would be difficult for her and Qingyue to bring Li Tianyou back.

"No need, I can get back by myself. You can have Steward Liu help me into the carriage later." Li Tianyou waved his hand. He wasn't that weak. He was just tired from running and had missed two meals. It wouldn't kill him.

"Alright, Dad, you wait here for a bit, I'll go get someone," Li Zhiwei instructed, still a little worried.

“Alright!” As long as he could get back to the manor, Li Tianyou was willing to wait a while. In any case, there was no danger in the Prince An’s manor. He would feel more at ease at home.

As soon as Li Zhiwei left Songmo Courtyard, she ran into Xu Qingshi, who was holding a stone.

"Qingshi? Where are you going?" Li Zhiwei asked, looking at Xu Qingshi with a puzzled expression.

In particular, she noticed that Mo Yu behind Xu Qingshi was carrying a box.

"Pretty sister, where are you going?" Xu Qingshi was so frightened when he saw Li Zhiwei that he quickly hid the stone in his hand behind his back.

He was speaking haltingly, clearly not expecting that Li Zhiwei was still in the Prince's mansion at this time.

He felt a pang of regret; he should have brought the stone he was going to give to Li Zhiwei with him earlier.

Now it's all right.

He was prepared to give the prettiest little heart-shaped stone in his hand to Nuonuo.

"I'm looking for Steward Liu." Li Zhiwei glanced at Xu Qingshi with a strange look, not understanding why the kid was hiding that stone.

"Grandpa Butler, he's over there. Sister Hongliang, you can go find him yourself. I have something to do, so I'll be going now!" After saying that, Xu Qingshi pulled Mo Yu away quickly.

"Young Master, aren't these things meant for Miss Li?" Mo Yu asked, puzzled. After all, he had always thought that Xu Qingshi was going to give these things to Li Zhiwei.

I didn't expect that, did I?

Who are these things meant for?

You should know that the box he was carrying contained gems the size of pigeon eggs, which are not things that money can buy.

Whom does the Crown Prince intend to give these to?

Mo Yu was very puzzled, but looking at her young master's demeanor, it seemed that he didn't want to answer her.
