Chapter 120
Xu Heming and Li Tianyou had been frowning ever since they entered the Liu family.
"Father-in-law, why don't you go and take a look around?" Xu Heming said to Li Tianyou as soon as he entered the Liu family home.
After all, at this point, Xu Heming only thought that Xiao Guozhi's visit to the Liu family had been discovered by Liu Bozheng.
He didn't take it too seriously, but the mission to visit the Liu family still had to continue, so he brought Li Tianyou along.
Xu Heming also had the guards beside him follow Li Tianyou to prevent any mishaps.
Li Tianyou nodded and then walked with the guards down another road.
Xu Heming then entered the main hall.
At this moment, Xiao Guozhi was getting a little anxious while waiting on the side.
He was also worried that if he stayed there, Liu Bozheng would kill him to silence him, since he had been found in the same room as his concubine.
Upon seeing Xu Heming's arrival, Xiao Guozhi excitedly cried out, "Prince An, save me!"
Xu Heming looked at Xiao Guozhi in the room with a puzzled expression. Only Liu Bozheng and a few servants were guarding him.
"Lord Liu, what's wrong?" Xu Heming didn't ask Xiao Guozhi, but looked at Liu Bozheng, who had a dark face, sitting at the head of the table.
"Your Highness Prince An." Liu Bozheng saw Xu Heming but did not stand up. He simply called out "Prince An" with some displeasure.
"Your Highness Prince An, save me!" Xiao Guozhi pleaded again when Prince An ignored him.
"I wonder, Lord Liu, what did Lord Xiao do to anger you?" Xu Heming still ignored Xiao Guozhi, that fool. He was sent to visit someone's home, and he still managed to get caught. He's more trouble than he's worth.
My father-in-law is really capable; he's done everything he was supposed to do.
Xiao Guozhi was caught at the second house he visited, after only visiting one.
“Prince An, if he hadn’t said he would only confess to his crimes if you came, I would have dealt with him long ago.” Liu Bozheng was the Minister of Justice and had often tried other prisoners.
Today, someone stole from him, and he's holding his breath, waiting here for Xu Heming.
Xu Heming frowned upon hearing this, puzzled. How could Xiao Guozhi, who wasn't very bold, have gotten himself into such a mess?
"Lord Xiao, what do you have to say?" Xu Heming asked with a frown.
"Your Highness, please save me! I really have nothing to do with that concubine. I don't know why she said I took money. She was the one who pounced on me. I didn't do anything!" Xiao Guozhi started sobbing like a woman as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Liu Bozheng's face darkened even more.
Whatever the truth was, he had already had it investigated. That concubine Lin had asked her maid to find someone to conceive with, but by chance, Xiao Guozhi came to the mansion, and the old woman had mistaken him for someone else.
Xiao Guozhi went to the courtyard that Aunt Lin had arranged in advance without any explanation.
When Aunt Zhen learned of this, she led her mistress to catch the adulterers in the act.
In truth, this matter has little to do with Xiao Guozhi.
However, it is true that Xiao Guozhi lived in the same room as his aunt.
It was true that Lady Lan and the servants in the mansion saw that the two men were disheveled.
No matter how you look at it, he lost face.
Moreover, everyone in the capital knows that although he has many wives and concubines, he has no children.
He was anxious about this, but he couldn't say it out loud.
