If that's really the case, he might as well send this good mother back to the Marquis of Ru'an's residence.
"Grandmother, are you done? If you are, I need to go back and rest. I'm still sleepy." Xu Qingshi said impatiently.
"You child, you chose your mother yourself. Today is the first day your new daughter-in-law enters the family. Shouldn't you come and make her proud?" The old princess looked at her grandson, both helpless and amused.
"Grandmother, would my father beat my new mother?" For some reason, Xu Qingshi had an image in his mind of Xu Heming whipping Li Zhiwei.
Thinking that Li Zhiwei might get injured later, Xu Qingshi was no longer sleepy.
He was determined to protect Li Zhiwei, after all, she was one of his people.
"What nonsense are you talking about, child? The prince dotes on the princess so much, how could he possibly hit her?" Granny Luo said with a smile from the side.
After all, the prince called for water three times last night, so he must love this new princess very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so unable to control himself when the new princess was experiencing human relations for the first time.
“Granny, how do you know my father doesn’t hit people? My father is very kind. Outsiders say that my father can stop children from crying at night.” Xu Qingshi said with a look of disapproval.
“Your father is fierce, but that’s only towards outsiders. When has he ever been fierce towards you?” The old queen looked at her grandson with a hint of annoyance and said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Heming helped Li Zhiwei into the inner courtyard.
"Daughter-in-law greets Mother." Li Zhiwei's legs trembled as she knelt and bowed to the old princess.
The old princess looked at Li Zhiwei and then glanced at her somewhat uncomfortable son.
She thought to herself, "This man is truly lustful. Although her soup last night did have an effect, she doesn't believe that anyone can force him if he doesn't want to."
Now it seems that the son is fond of this Li woman.
"Son greets Mother." Xu Heming bowed to the old princess at the right time, reminding her that her daughter-in-law was still kneeling.
"Granny Luo?" The old princess ignored her son and instead asked Granny Luo to have someone bring tea.
Today, this old woman is going to drink the new bride's tea.
"Your Highness, please quickly serve tea to the old princess," said Granny Luo, handing the tea to Li Zhiwei with a smile.
"Please have some tea, Mother-in-law." Li Zhiwei obediently accepted the tea, respectfully raising it above her head, though she felt a little apprehensive.
In her past life, on their wedding night, Lin Jitong did not enter her room, but instead went to Zhou Yutang's room. In the morning, when she was going to serve tea to her mother-in-law, only Zhou Yutang was in the room.
It was then that she learned that the Lin family had demoted her to a concubine without her consent. She was forced to serve tea to Zhou Yutang by the Lin family's servants, who made her serve him tea as a concubine.
She wanted to resist, but the people she brought had already been dismissed by the Lin family.
But no one in the Lin family listened to her at all.
Even if she wanted to send a message to her parents, there was no one she could help her with.
Her dowry had already been moved to her mother-in-law's courtyard. Fortunately, she had hidden the key on her person, so the Lin family didn't dare to make things too difficult for her for the time being.
"Very well, now that you've entered the gates of the Prince An's Mansion, you are now a member of the Prince An's Mansion. In every word and deed, you must respect the Prince An's Mansion and never bring shame upon it. I don't care why you married into the Prince An's Mansion, but now that you are the Princess Consort of Prince An, you should quickly bear children for my son and give Qingshi a few younger brothers and sisters." The old princess consort looked at Li Zhiwei and gave her some advice.
She was afraid that Li Zhiwei would think that because she came from a merchant family, she was inferior to the noble ladies of the capital, and that she would act timidly and disgrace the Prince An's mansion.
Regardless of her original status, now that she is the Princess Consort of An, she is not someone anyone can bully.
Furthermore, she genuinely wanted a granddaughter.
"I will follow my mother-in-law's teachings." Li Zhiwei didn't think there was anything wrong with what the old princess said. Compared to Zhou Yutang's words in her previous life, these words were already very good.
"Mother, Li and I have important matters to attend to. If there's nothing else, we'll head back now," Xu Heming said quickly, worried that Li Zhiwei might not be able to handle kneeling for too long.
