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 352

Li Zhiwei got into the carriage and looked back. For some reason, she felt that Xu Qingshi seemed a little evasive just now. Could it be that he was hiding something from her?

However, upon seeing her father, she didn't ask any further questions, intending to question him when they returned.

After all, she was worried about Li Tianyou's condition. Compared to her father, Xu Qingshi was full of energy and didn't seem to be in any danger.

"What's wrong?" Li Tianyou seemed to notice his daughter's hesitation and asked, puzzled.

"It's alright, Dad, let's go home." Li Zhiwei quickly sat down next to Li Tianyou, looking at her father with some heartache.

I sighed inwardly, wondering what my father had been through.

"Well, if you have something to say..." Li Tianyou looked at his daughter's somewhat absent-minded appearance and thought that Li Zhiwei had something else to say to Xu Heming. He felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to persuade his daughter that if she wanted to see Xu Heming, she should go.

He's an old man; he can go home by himself.

"Dad, what are you saying?" Li Zhiwei glared at her father. Didn't he dislike Xu Heming?

Why has your attitude changed again?

"That kid, although he's been married once, he's not bad." Li Tianyou thought of Xu Heming carrying him down the mountain, and then awkwardly turned his head away.

He would never admit to this; he did it on purpose.

However, to his surprise, Xu Heming actually carried him down the mountain himself.

Thinking of this, Li Tianyou thought of Lin Jitong again. When the two families were discussing marriage, Lin Jitong had also gone to Li'an County. However, at that time, he was arrogant and looked down on them.

If he hadn't been forced to, he would have refused the marriage proposal at the time.

Xu Heming never looked down on them because of their status as merchants.

Even though he was his future father-in-law, a prince, he still condescended to carry him down the mountain. Li Tianyou felt that Xu Heming was still worthy of his daughter's entrustment of her life to.

As for Xu Heming buying fake alcohol for himself, he didn't do it on purpose.

He decided to let it go for the time being.

"Dad? Where have you been these past two days?" Li Zhiwei frowned as she looked at Li Tianyou, not understanding what her father had gone through that made him change his opinion of Xu Heming.

Could it be that Xu Heming imprisoned his father and did something to him?

Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei frowned even more.

"Cough! Cough cough!" Upon hearing his daughter's words, Li Tianyou felt so embarrassed that he wanted to disappear into the ground.

He really didn't want to answer that question at all.

"Dad?" Li Zhiwei first frowned and patted Li Tianyou's back, then realized that her father probably didn't want to answer her question and was just pretending to cough.

"Dad? You haven't been locked up by Xu Heming these past few days, have you?" Li Zhiwei said, trying to pry open Li Tianyou's collar to see if he had any injuries.

Did Xu Heming torture Li Tianyou to extract a confession?

"How could you think that?" Li Tianyou looked at his daughter, quite surprised. How could his daughter think that he was being locked up by Xu Heming?

Although Xu Heming is a bit cold, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who is heartless.

Thinking of this, Li Tianyou suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
