Yang Zuo could only look at Li Tianyou somewhat awkwardly and ask ingratiatingly, "Lord Li, would you do me the favor of letting me speak a few words with the Prince alone?"
"What, what news from Li'an County is off-limits to me? Or did you order him to sell my daughter on the way?" Upon hearing this, Li Tianyou became even more displeased.
God knows how much he longed to hear news about his daughter and wife.
This servant of Xu Heming doesn't want me to listen?
"Lord Li is no outsider. If there's anything you need, just say it." Seeing that Li Tianyou was about to lose his temper again, Xu Heming sighed and quickly said.
Yang Zuo's eyes widened, wanting to tell the prince that those words were not suitable for Lord Li to hear.
But now that the prince has spoken, if I don't speak...
"Your Highness, Miss Li and the young master are doing well in Li'an County. However, a cousin of the Li family has arrived, and it seems he wants to marry Miss Li..." Yang Zuo could only say what was beneficial to his lord.
"Young Master? You mean Shuheng? Oh dear, we originally wanted to arrange for Shuheng to be our son-in-law, but unfortunately, Qujing and Li'an County are too far apart. Shuheng has finally come!" Li Tianyou said with a look of relief.
Xu Heming felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.
Does the Li family still want Li Zhiwei to marry someone else?
“Father-in-law, Zhiwei and I are betrothed by His Majesty,” Xu Heming reminded him through gritted teeth.
"I know, it's just an arranged marriage, right? We're not even married yet," Li Tianyou said nonchalantly.
Thinking to himself, once he has made a great contribution, he will ask the emperor to rescind his decree, and then the marriage will be off.
Xu Heming was speechless. He thought to himself, "Luckily, Li Tianyou doesn't know that I gave him fake alcohol. Otherwise, Li Tianyou would probably hate me even more."
“The Li family has guests, it’s not a big deal, why did you come all the way back from Li’an County just to tell me this?” Xu Heming frowned. He wasn’t that petty, he couldn’t possibly prevent any man from appearing beside Li Zhiwei, could he?
Besides, that person was a relative of the Li family.
Li Zhiwei was not the kind of person who didn't know her place.
Yang Zuo felt bitter in the face of Xu Heming's accusations.
What he wanted to say wasn't this matter, but he didn't dare say anything else in front of Li Tianyou.
"Alright, you can go now. I understand." Xu Heming wasn't in the mood to talk to Yang Zuo any further. After all, he still needed to keep a close eye on things at the He family mansion and not let anyone take advantage of the situation.
"Yes!" Yang Zuo was anxious, but dared not say more.
Upon hearing this, Xu Heming said nothing more and went straight into the He family's house.
Qingsong wanted to go in with Xu Heming, but Yang Zuo stopped him.
"What? I still have to serve the Prince," Qingsong said with dissatisfaction.
"Oh, Brother Qingsong, could you do me a favor?" Yang Zuo said with a fawning expression.
"What is it? Tell me?" Qingsong frowned. This was the first time he had seen Yang Zuo like this, and he felt that there was something strange about him.
Yang Zuo quickly pulled Qingsong to a corner.
Li Tianyou followed them as if possessed.
"Yang Zuo, what's wrong? Speak quickly. If I can put in a good word for you with the Prince, I will." Qing Song sighed, still somewhat reluctant to speak.
After all, Yang Zuo had been by the prince's side for so many years, and as long as his mistakes weren't too serious, the prince could say a few good words about him.
"It wasn't me, it was the Princess's side, something happened." Yang Zuo was extremely anxious. If Li Tianyou hadn't been there, he would have said so already.
Unfortunately, neither the prince nor Qingsong noticed that he was giving them a meaningful look.
"What happened to the Princess? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Qingsong asked anxiously upon hearing this.
If Li Zhiwei gets into trouble, the prince will definitely not let Yang Zuo off easily.
