Who told him to be so unlucky? He almost got captured and used as a sperm donor.
Even though the woman didn't say it, Xu Heming still guessed that Liu Bozheng had no children. That woman probably wanted to find a man to conceive a child and consolidate her position, but she didn't expect it to backfire.
In the end, Xiao Guozhi could only return to the Xiao family with Lin Qiao'er, feeling utterly hopeless.
"That scared me to death," Li Tianyou said, patting his chest after Xiao Guozhi and the other man had walked away.
"What is your father-in-law afraid of?" Xu Heming asked, puzzled.
"What do you think I'm afraid of? I'm afraid that Lord Liu will send me one too. I'm too old to enjoy that." Li Tianyou rolled his eyes at Xu Heming and said irritably.
Xu Heming was taken aback at first, then realized what Li Tianyou was afraid of, and said with a smile, "Father-in-law, you are overthinking it. In this capital, although it is common for men to send concubines to other men, it is not a common occurrence. Otherwise, wouldn't the capital be in chaos?"
"That's true. But how did Lord Xiao manage to miss out on such a stroke of good fortune?" Knowing that not everyone would offer a concubine, Li Tianyou became a bit gossipy again.
“He saw something he shouldn’t have,” Xu Heming said after a moment of silence.
Li Tianyou rolled his eyes at Xu Heming. Why was he being so secretive when he spoke?
However, Xu Heming didn't elaborate further, nor did he ask any more questions.
However, I wasn't in a very good mood either.
“Father-in-law, this is a pot of fine wine that I bought for you. Take it back and try it later,” Xu Heming said, picking up the “wine” from the side.
Li Tianyou nodded as he looked at the somewhat familiar wine jar.
I plan to go back and have a few drinks to see what my future son-in-law thinks.
Li'an County
Li Zhiwei, along with Xu Qingshi and Yao Shuheng, soon arrived at Ronghua Street, the most bustling street in Li'an County.
Looking at the bustling street, Xu Qingshi was as happy as a joyful little bird, touching this and looking at that.
Everything seemed incredibly strange to me.
When he sees something he likes, he always turns around happily and asks, "Mommy, can I buy this?"
Li Zhiwei nodded with a smile, while Qinghua paid the money on the side.
"Oh, isn't this Miss Li? Has she returned from the capital?"
Soon, some vendors recognized Li Zhiwei.
“Brother Liu, yes, that’s right.” Li Zhi nodded with a smile.
Now that she's back, she naturally knows she'll be recognized.
"Oh, this must be your husband from the capital, right? He's quite handsome!" The man called Brother Liu looked Yao Shuheng up and down and said with a smile.
“Brother Liu, you misunderstand. This is my cousin from my maternal family. He just happened to be in Lijia County on some business these past few days and took the opportunity to visit my mother,” Li Zhi explained with a smile.
Yao Shuheng, who was behind him, was initially delighted, but after hearing Li Zhiwei's explanation, he felt a little uneasy.
After all, the reason he let Li Zhiwei out for a walk was to give others the illusion that they were a couple.
However, Yao Shuheng frowned, not understanding why this person would mention Li Zhiwei's husband in the capital.
He hadn't heard his father mention anything about his cousin getting married.
"Oh, I see. So this adorable young master must be your cousin?" Brother Liu scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and pointed to Xu Qingshi beside him, asking with a smile.
In fact, he just wanted to smooth things over after saying that awkward thing.
"I'm not my mother's cousin, I'm her son!" Xu Qingshi said, standing next to Li Zhiwei with a dissatisfied look. I declared my identity.
He must protect his mother for his father and not let others take advantage of the situation.
"Mother?" The small merchant, known as Brother Liu, looked at Li Zhiwei and the child beside her with a strange expression, as if he had discovered something new.
After all, everyone had only heard that Miss Li had married into a family in the capital. It turns out she went to be someone's second wife.
