Thinking of this, Liu Bozheng felt his anger getting even more suffocated.
Xu Heming was completely confused by Xiao Guozhi's words.
What's going on?
How did she get involved with Liu Bozheng's aunt?
“Prince An, my wife personally caught Lord Xiao and my concubine in the same room, both of them disheveled. Tell me, how should I deal with Lord Xiao?” Liu Bozheng saw Xu Heming’s puzzled look and spoke directly without any politeness.
"Xiao Guozhi? Is this how you do your job?" Even Xu Heming, who had originally planned to come to the Liu family to bail out someone, was now at a loss for what to do.
I was on a business trip, but I ended up in someone's concubine's room and got caught.
Xu Heming thought to himself, "This Lord Liu is quite tolerant; he actually refrained from beating Xiao Guozhi to death directly."
"Your Highness, I really didn't do anything to her. I don't know why someone took me there directly. I'm innocent!" Xiao Guozhi pleaded, kneeling at Xu Heming's feet.
Xu Heming's lips twitched. How did this idiot become the Vice Minister of Revenue? Can't he even use his brain?
Liu Bozheng, who was standing to the side, turned even darker.
If this person hadn't been an official appointed by the imperial court, he would have genuinely wanted to get rid of him.
“Lord Liu, Lord Xiao was sent to the mansion for a secret investigation by order of the Emperor, but unexpectedly there was such a misunderstanding. Lord Xiao is a timid man, and he would never do something like stealing people. Could there be some misunderstanding here?” Xu Heming asked cautiously, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he felt that his words were somewhat inappropriate.
Who could calmly forgive a concubine who was found in the same room with a man with disheveled clothes?
However, Liu Bozheng also felt that this matter was unlucky.
He is also difficult to deal with.
After all, this person was sent by the Emperor.
Even though he was only a second-rank official, he couldn't punish the person.
“Lord Xiao, if you wish to visit my residence next time, you may enter through the main gate. The main gate of the Liu family is still standing; there is no need for you to enter through the side gate. As for my concubine, if you wish, I, Liu, am happy to offer her to you!” Liu Bozheng said coldly, looking at Xiao Guozhi.
"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!" Xiao Guozhi said nervously.
Although he knew that some people in the capital would give their concubines away to others, he didn't need to!
"Since Lord Liu has done so kindly, Lord Xiao must present Lord Liu with a thank-you gift tomorrow." Xu Heming glanced at Liu Bozheng, who was currently looking at Xiao Guozhi with a gloomy face, and then agreed on Xiao Guozhi's behalf.
"Prince An?" Xiao Guozhi was dumbfounded. He...he didn't want to!
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I accidentally came to the wrong place. It's quite a place for me to find Lord Liu!" Li Tianyou said somewhat embarrassedly as he walked in from outside.
"Lord Li has also come. I am so sorry for not welcoming you sooner!" Liu Bozheng originally thought that it was Xu Heming who had come, but he did not expect that Li Tianyou would also come.
Remembering Li Tianyou's earlier comment that he had gone to the wrong place, she understood immediately. This Li Tianyou had probably already explored the entire mansion.
Judging from Li Tianyou's demeanor, he should have passed the Emperor's scrutiny. Although he lost a concubine, he was relieved.
After all, women are everywhere.
"Lord Liu." Li Tianyou smiled and bowed to Liu Bozheng, then looked at Xu Heming with his eyes to ask if the matter had been resolved.
“Lord Liu, since there’s nothing else, I have official business to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now. I will definitely offer an apology for what happened today tomorrow.” Xu Heming stood up and took his leave.
"Steward, go and tell Aunt Lin to pack her things and go back with Master Xiao!" Liu Bozheng quickly said to the steward beside him.
"Lord Liu, this is unacceptable!" Xiao Guozhi was on the verge of tears; he...
Li Tianyou looked puzzled. Why did Lord Xiao send a concubine as a return gift when he came to the Liu family?
