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...

Where did you hear Chapter 256 from? (2/2)

Thinking of this, Xu Qingshi felt a little reluctant.

After all, their grandmother fell ill while they were away, and she must have been very pitiful.

The old princess was amused by Xu Qingshi's childish words.

"Don't worry, your father won't be unwanted. He should be able to give you a mother soon!" The old princess thought to herself that she needed to recover quickly so she could go to the palace to see the Empress Dowager and properly discuss the marriage of the two children.

This was, after all, a marriage bestowed by the Emperor, so it was only natural to hold the wedding as soon as possible.

However, she also realized that the Li family probably still had reservations about the marriage. The old princess felt that this matter should be resolved by her son himself.

After all, whose wife is so easy to marry?

He should at least try his best so that he will know how to cherish his wife in the future.

"Grandmother, who is Father going to marry? Could it be my third aunt?" Xu Qingshi asked the old princess with a look of horror.

After all, although Zhou Yuying often came to see him in the past, he didn't know why, but he just didn't like this concubine from the bottom of his heart.

I have a feeling that she doesn't have good intentions towards me.

"What nonsense are you talking about, child? Do you want your third aunt to be your stepmother?" the old princess asked, looking puzzled.

After all, she had considered this matter before; back then, her son disagreed, but the Zhou family was very interested.

Moreover, my grandson didn't seem to like Zhou Yuying very much before, so why is he now proposing that Zhou Yuying be his stepmother?

Could it be that someone from the Zhou family has come again recently?

Thinking of this, the old princess frowned.

She certainly didn't want to marry another daughter-in-law from the Zhou family.

She thought girls like Li Zhiwei were pretty good.

"I don't want to, Grandmother. Let me tell you, my third aunt is two-faced. She's nice to me, but it's all an act!" Xu Qingshi thought of what Zhou Yuying had told others: that she actually hated him and even said that she would kill him after he married Father. Ever since he learned about this, he had disliked her.

"Then you don't like Miss Li?" the old princess asked, still somewhat puzzled.

However, she wasn't surprised that her grandson knew Zhou Yuying's true colors.

After all, if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

Zhou Yuying just thought she was clever enough to keep it from them.

Little did they know, her cleverness hadn't even fooled a child.

However, what the old princess didn't understand was that Xu Qingshi seemed to like Li Zhiwei quite a bit.

What, you don't want Li Zhiwei to marry your son anymore?

"Grandmother, are you getting senile? Didn't our pretty sister already get married?" Xu Qingshi sighed inwardly, thinking that her grandmother's illness had affected her, and her mind wasn't as sharp as before.

"Where did you hear that?" The old princess frowned and asked her grandson. Today, she didn't ask Li Zhiwei whether the matter was true or false, but seeing that her son and Li Zhiwei didn't seem to have any problems, the old princess assumed that it was just a rumor.

But now, Xu Qingshi's words have made the old princess doubt the matter again.

"Isn't that what everyone outside is saying?" Xu Qingshi asked the old princess, puzzled.

"So, you just heard what people outside were saying and concluded that Miss Li got married?" The old princess looked at her grandson strangely. Suddenly, she understood why her son had looked so angry just now.
