Chapter Ten
“My father never said he wanted to take you as a concubine,” Xu Qingshi said bluntly.
"Huh?" Now it was Li Zhiwei's turn to be confused. Prince An wanted to marry her?
On what grounds?
She came from a merchant family, so even if she married Prince An as a concubine, it would still be a step up for her.
Now, Prince An actually wants to marry her?
Li Zhiwei felt that she must be daydreaming.
"Oh dear, Your Highness, you'd better get up quickly, the wedding ceremony is about to begin." Receiving the old princess's signal, Granny Luo quickly smiled and helped Li Zhiwei up.
Li Zhiwei and Xu Heming got married in such an unclear and ambiguous way.
Looking at the simple bridal chamber, Li Zhiwei still couldn't quite understand how she ended up marrying Xu Heming.
Cuiguo was overjoyed. Her young lady was truly blessed. She had thought it was already quite an achievement that her young lady could marry the wife of the Marquis of Ruan, but she never expected that her young lady would actually marry the Prince of An.
She became the envy of everyone, Princess An.
Lin Qihua, his face dark, had just returned to the Marquis of Ru'an's residence when he heard that Prince An and Li Zhiwei had already tied the knot.
"Prince An!" Lin Qihua angrily smashed the cup in his hand on the ground.
He went to the palace hoping the emperor would intervene on behalf of his Ru'an Marquis's family, but alas, he couldn't even get an audience with the emperor.
I just got back when I heard that Prince An had actually taken his daughter-in-law away.
"Father, what do we do now? Li Shi is married, but we can't let those thieves get their dowry," Lin Jitong said anxiously.
He had already promised to give half of those things to Tang'er.
"You beast!" Lin Qihua angrily slapped Lin Ji. If this beast hadn't insisted on leaving people outside the mansion, these things would have already entered the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion.
"Master, why are you hitting Tong'er?" Madam Zhou stepped forward to support Lin Jitong with heartache, looking at Lin Qihua with some dissatisfaction. Those things weren't carried to the Prince An's mansion by her own son.
"It's all your fault for indulging him. If he hadn't made such a foolish mistake and married your niece first, none of this would have happened today." Lin Qihua felt a pang of pain in his heart whenever he thought of Li Zhiwei's dowry.
"Master, you agreed to Tong'er marrying Tang'er back then, but now you're blaming me for it?" Zhou replied resentfully.
Thinking of this, Lin Qihua felt very regretful. At the time, he thought that Li was just a merchant's daughter and would be easy to manipulate. Who would have thought that the Prince of An would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
What angered him most was that Prince An had also married her.
"Hurry up and send someone to the Li family to tell them to send someone over, hmph!" Lin Qihua thought to himself, maybe the Li family will consider that their daughter broke her promise to them and compensate them with a considerable sum of money.
It would be best to send all of Li's dowry back to the Marquis of Ru'an's residence.
Originally intending to go in and comfort the group, Zhou Yutang turned around and went back to her and Lin Jitong's courtyard after hearing Lin Qihua's words, her face darkening.
"Miss, they wouldn't still want that Li woman to come in, would they?" Qiu'er asked anxiously as she stepped forward, puzzled.
"Hmph, they wish they could, but that Li woman is married." Thinking of this, Zhou Yutang felt a bit complicated. Originally, she had already prepared to teach Li Zhiwei a lesson.
Unexpectedly, without her doing anything, the man wisely left.
This feeling of winning without a fight made Zhou Yutang very unhappy.
Most importantly, Lin Jitong had promised her that no matter how much dowry Li brought back, he would give her half of it.
