Chapter Sixteen
"Who said we didn't go? That old princess didn't even see us." Zhou was quite annoyed when she thought of this.
She felt that the old princess was deliberately making things difficult for their Ru'an Marquis's family.
It was also because the Prince An's mansion didn't give their own daughter any face.
"You won't come? What about today? You didn't go?" Consort Lin looked at her parents with dissatisfaction, not understanding why they still had the mind to go to the palace today.
Isn't this just making things difficult for yourself?
"Today, we were thinking of going to the palace to ask the Emperor to make a decision for us," Zhou said with some grievance, thinking to herself, "Why is she blaming us when our daughter didn't make a decision for us?"
You should know that they did all this partly for the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion, but actually, it was mostly for their daughter.
"Alright, what brings you to the palace today?" For some reason, Consort Lin had a bad feeling at this moment.
“Of course, we should let the Emperor decide for our Ru’an Marquis’s mansion! That brat Xu Qingshi actually snatched away the wife of our Ru’an Marquis’s heir in broad daylight! Shouldn’t we get her back?” Zhou said quickly. Whether the person should be returned was another matter; the key was that the things should be returned.
"Hmph, take her back? What do you plan to do with Zhou Yutang?" Lin Changzai looked at his parents with a hint of sarcasm, then glanced at his good-for-nothing younger brother.
He was resentful, thinking that if his younger brother had been more capable, none of this would have happened.
"Sister, this isn't Yu Tang's fault." Lin Jitong didn't like his older sister blaming Zhou Yu Tang for all these mistakes.
Zhou Yutang is his unforgettable love.
He didn't want her to suffer any injustice, otherwise he wouldn't have married her so early, just to prevent Li Zhiwei from getting ahead of her.
"Not her fault? Humph, if this vixen hadn't been hooking up with you, would you have left her hanging for so long?" Thinking of this, Lin Changzai couldn't help but smash the cup in his hand at Lin Jitong.
Although Mrs. Zhou thought her daughter's words made sense, she still felt sorry for her son. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her son hadn't been hit.
"Lanzhi, now that this has happened, what do you think we should do?" Zhou was also somewhat at a loss.
"Alright, you just need to apologize to the Emperor later. I'll handle the rest." Consort Lin knew that she was partly to blame for this matter.
Prince An led Li Zhiwei into the imperial study and saw the emperor, whose expression was not very good.
"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty." An Wangchao Zhu Jingchen bowed.
Xu Heming gestured for Li Zhiwei to bow to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, this humble woman greets you." Li Zhiwei, following the etiquette taught to her by the old princess, bowed to the emperor at the head of the table.
Zhu Jingchen observed the two men's every word and action.
Unexpectedly, Prince An was captured by such a young girl.
"Li Shi." At this moment, what Zhu Jingchen wanted to know more about was whether Li Zhiwei was really willing to give her dowry to the court for disaster relief.
Kunning Palace
"You mean you snatched a stepmother for yourself?" The seven-year-old Third Prince asked Xu Qingshi in disbelief.
He just didn't understand, what's so good about a stepmother?
He hated all the concubines in his father's palace.
Xu Qingshi must have never suffered from a woman.
