Chapter Seven
"Lord Ru'an, my father is not here. If you have anything to say, just tell me." Xu Qingshi, though still a little boy, knew that Lin Qihua wanted to find his father because of the dowry of that beautiful older sister.
Hmph, he won't let that person have his way.
Lin Qihua choked upon hearing this. What could he possibly have to say to this child?
Although, this person was the one that this child snatched back.
He would definitely ask the officials in the manor to stand up for his Ru'an Marquis's manor. Who knows, Prince An might even compensate them with a considerable sum of money out of remorse. Thinking of this, Lin Qihua plotted in his heart.
"I wonder if the old Princess Consort is in the manor?" Lin Qihua thought. It was understandable that Prince An was busy with many affairs of state and not in the manor. However, the old lady rarely went out, and he had not heard of her going out today.
"Lord Ru'an, how dare you be so rude! My grandmother is a woman in the household. How can you, an outsider, ask to see her? What are you up to? You wouldn't happen to have designs on my grandmother, would you?" Xu Qingshi questioned Lin Qihua without a second thought.
Supported by Li Zhiwei, the old princess, who was about to leave, paused upon hearing this, secretly annoyed. This brat, it's one thing to talk back to Marquis Ruan, but why does he have to make up stories about me like this?
The old princess, who had originally planned to go out, was now too ashamed to leave the house.
Upon hearing this, Marquis Ru'an blushed.
What kind of situation is this?
The old princess is so old, how could I possibly have feelings for her?
But at this moment, he and the child couldn't explain that he had come to ask for his daughter-in-law's dowry back, could they?
"Guards, take all these things back to the Marquis of Ru'an's residence."
After thinking for a long time, Lin Qihua gave instructions to the servants behind him.
He thought that since these things belonged to the Li family, they naturally belonged to his Lin family. He would take back what was his, and surely Prince An wouldn't be able to find fault with him.
Even if Prince An really causes trouble for me, it's because his son was at fault first, and it's also the fault of Prince An's mansion.
With this in mind, Lin Qihua held his head high, showing no intention of yielding to Xu Qingshi.
Lin Qihua didn't take the little kid seriously at all.
"Marquis Ru'an, do you want to rob Prince An's mansion?" Xu Qingshi didn't expect Marquis Ru'an to be so shameless as to actually rob Prince An's mansion.
"Stealing? Prince An must be mistaken. These are the property of the Marquis of Ru'an! I would like to ask why things from my own residence are in the Prince An's residence? Could these things have grown legs? Or do the people of the Prince An's residence just like to steal other people's things?" Lin Qihua said to Xu Qingshi with a mocking expression.
At this point, Lin Qihua practically said that Xu Qingshi was a thief.
"Marquis Ru'an, you need to have evidence to support your words. Besides, these are the property of my Prince An's Mansion. Does Marquis Ru'an think that I am young and can be robbed openly?" Xu Qingshi did not expect Marquis Ru'an to be so shameless.
He had initially felt somewhat guilty for taking someone from the Marquis of Ru'an.
But at this moment, he felt no remorse whatsoever.
He finally understood why he had brought that pretty woman back; he had done a good deed.
Otherwise, someone as pretty as her would definitely be bullied if she really entered the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingshi gave a soft hum.
Marquis Ruan did not expect that this brat from the Prince An's mansion would dare to talk back to him. If any other child had heard him say that, they would have been terrified. It seems that he underestimated this brat.
