Chapter 138
"Yes!" the attendant quickly replied.
The man stood up, looked out the window, and silently thought, "Xu Heming, if you ruin my plans again, I won't let you live."
Li'an County
Before they knew it, it was time for the flower-viewing banquet hosted by the county magistrate's wife, Madam Tang. Li Zhiwei had no intention of coming.
However, it wouldn't be good to offend Madam Cao.
"My health isn't good either. Otherwise, I'll go with you," Yao said with heartache, looking at her daughter who didn't look well.
"Mother, I'm fine. Do you think the Cao family would eat me?" Li Zhiwei said, forcing a smile.
These days, all she can think about is Xu Heming trying to harm her father.
Now, surrounded by people arranged by Xu Heming, Li Zhiwei doesn't know who she can trust.
All I could do was try not to worry my mother.
Qinghua and Qingyue clearly sensed Li Zhiwei's recent estrangement from them.
But there was nothing they could do.
The flower-viewing banquet was held in a lively manner. Today, Madam Cao, née Tang, invited many ladies from local gentry families in Li'an County to enjoy the flowers, with chrysanthemums as the theme.
"Ladies, you may not know this, but Miss Li has just returned to Li'an County. I just happened to invite her over. I've never left Li'an County in my entire life, and I'm really curious about the capital," Madam Tang said, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, somewhat embarrassed.
"Didn't Miss Li say she was going to marry someone in the capital? Why is she back so soon?" Soon, a lady raised a question.
"Why would she marry? I heard that family didn't want her anymore, so she slunk back home." Someone quickly said.
"Really? With such a good family background as Miss Li, there are still people who don't want to marry her?" Soon, someone raised the question.
After all, in Li'an County, Li Zhiwei's status was considered quite good.
Although she wasn't a member of an official's family, the Li family was wealthy, and many men still wanted to marry Li Zhiwei.
Mrs. Tang listened with great satisfaction to the disdainful remarks others made about Li Zhiwei.
He thought to himself, "I'll see how I humiliate Li Zhiwei later."
Although Li Zhiwei resisted Qinghua and Qingyue, she also knew that they wouldn't let her get hurt now.
She still took the two of them out.
This time, Xu Qingshi didn't insist on going out with them.
After all, it was a women's banquet, and Xu Qingshi wasn't interested.
In particular, he could clearly sense that Li Zhiwei seemed somewhat distant from him.
This puzzled him greatly.
"Moyu, when do you think Father will come to pick us up?" Xu Qingshi missed her grandmother and father.
He was excited when he first came with Li Zhiwei, but after the excitement subsided, especially when Li Zhiwei began to deliberately distance herself from him, he became somewhat afraid.
"Your Highness, once the Prince has dealt with matters in the capital, he will come to pick you and your wife up," Mo Yu said, scratching his head to comfort you.
