"You're protecting him?" Xu Heming didn't expect his little wife to side with his mischievous son. He felt both happy and a little disappointed.
"As the Crown Prince's stepmother, I am also his mother, and it is my duty to protect him," Li Zhiwei said through gritted teeth, looking at the somewhat enraged Xu Heming.
The old princess and Granny Luo nodded in satisfaction at Li Zhiwei's performance. It seemed that this daughter-in-law knew how to behave.
"Since that's the case, then he's under your jurisdiction from now on. If he offends again, don't blame me for being impolite." Xu Heming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Zhiwei protecting Xu Qingshi like this.
Now that he had married Li Zhiwei, he naturally hoped that she would love Li Qingshi and take care of his mother.
After all, when he gets busy, he really doesn't have time for these things.
"I will teach the young master well, but I hope Your Highness and Mother-in-law will enlighten me on things I don't understand," Li Zhiwei quickly knelt down and said.
It wasn't that she said it on purpose, but it was the truth. After all, she came from a merchant family, and there were bound to be many rules and etiquette of the royal palace that she didn't know.
"Li, please get up," the old princess said with a smile.
Then, they had Granny Luo bring out a tray.
"Zhiwei, I know it was unfair to make you rush into marrying the princess, but I will make it up to you later," the old princess said, gently patting Li Zhiwei's hand.
“Mother-in-law, Zhiwei is not wronged. Being able to marry into the royal family is Zhiwei’s good fortune to be married into the royal family. It is also the royal family that saved Zhiwei and her parents from dire straits,” Li Zhiwei quickly said.
"This is the dowry my mother gave me when I married your father. Today, I am giving it to you, hoping that you can pass it down to your children and grandchildren in the future," the old princess said.
Looking at the bracelet, Li Zhiwei knew that it must be very important to the old princess.
“Since it’s from your mother, you should accept it,” Xu Heming quickly advised.
"Thank you, Mother," Li Zhiwei replied with a sigh of relief.
"Your marriage to He'er was quite sudden, and I'm sure your in-laws are unaware of it yet. Do you think we should send someone to inform them?" The old princess was actually worried that the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion might take advantage of their ignorance to demand things from the Li family that they shouldn't have.
"I will write a letter to my parents right away. I hope Your Highness will send someone to Li'an County to tell my parents that the Lin family must not be allowed to demand money or goods from them in my name." Li Zhiwei was very unhappy at the thought that Lin Jitong and the Marquis of Ru'an's family might come to the Li family to ask for money or goods.
In her past life, they often used her name to search for her parents, but in the end, her parents met a tragic end. In this life, now that she has married Prince An, such things will definitely not happen again.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will have someone take care of this matter." Xu Heming also knew the importance of this matter.
"Father, Mother, may I invite my friends to our residence?" Xu Qingshi finally found an opportunity and quickly asked.
"Whom do you wish to invite to your residence?" Xu Heming asked, frowning.
"Hmph, who told them to bully their grandson because he doesn't have a mother?" Xu Qingshi thought of Wei Herui, who had the Nine-Linked Rings that his mother had found for him. Now that he also had a mother, wouldn't he be able to have as many Nine-Linked Rings as he wanted?
"Do those people usually bully you like this?" The old princess was displeased when she heard this. Although Xu Qingshi was mischievous, he was still her only grandson. How could she let outsiders bully him like this?
“Grandmother, you don’t know, Wei Herui brags to me every day about how good his mother is to him and how she buys him all sorts of toys. I have no mother, I have nothing,” five-year-old Xu Qingshi said with a displeased look.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiwei felt somewhat displeased. That young master of the Wei family was too wicked. However, when Xu Qing mentioned the Nine Linked Rings, she realized that it was something she had grown tired of playing with when she was a child.
