Li Tianyou naturally noticed Qingsong's somewhat stiff expression just now.
He thought to himself, "This person probably wants to tell Xu Heming secretly, right?"
But he wouldn't let him have his way!
Xu Heming felt that Li Tianyou had been looking at him more often today.
Thinking of this, Xu Heming nodded to Li Tianyou as a greeting.
He thought to himself, perhaps his father-in-law also misses Zhiwei.
After the He family's property was confiscated, Qingsong didn't find a chance to speak with Xu Heming. Qingsong always felt that Li Tianyou was watching him. He wanted to talk to the prince, but he was worried that Li Tianyou would overhear him.
Qingsong finally breathed a sigh of relief as they were about to return home.
"Qingsong, are you escorting your prince back to his residence?" Xu Heming asked, staring at Qingsong with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, seeing the relieved look on Qingsong's face.
"Yes, Lord Li," Qingsong replied with an awkward smile.
"Where is your prince?" Li Tianyou actually knew that Xu Heming was in the carriage.
"Father-in-law, is there something you want to say to your son-in-law?" Xu Heming lifted the carriage curtain and asked Li Tianyou.
After all, Li Tianyou visited him much more often today than usual.
"Aren't you going to invite me to the Prince's residence?" Li Tianyou asked Xu Heming with a forced smile.
“Lord Li, my lord has important business to attend to today and needs to go to the palace. Perhaps you could come another day?” Qingsong quickly said upon hearing this.
"Is that what you mean too?" Li Tianyou ignored Qingsong and instead looked at Xu Heming with displeasure. Heaven knows, he had been putting up with him for a long time.
If he dared to utter a single word of dissent, he would definitely point his finger at him and give him a good scolding to vent his anger.
"Qingsong, stop talking nonsense. Father-in-law, I am fine today. If you wish to go to the Prince An's residence, please get in the carriage." Xu Heming jumped off the carriage and bowed to Li Tianyou.
Qingsong was so anxious he was jumping up and down, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Okay!" Li Tianyou didn't stand on ceremony and helped Xu Heming into the carriage.
"What are you still standing there for?" Xu Heming got into the carriage and, seeing Qingsong still in a daze, scolded him unhappily.
The pine tree felt bitter inside, but dared not speak of it.
He felt very strange about Li Tianyou's behavior, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
The way Xu Heming invited Li Tianyou to get into the carriage naturally caught the attention of others.
Everyone thought that Li Tianyou was being too pretentious.
Prince An isn't even his son-in-law yet, but he's already acting like a father-in-law.
“That Lord Li is just a fourth-rank official, yet he dares to treat Prince An like this.”
"What do you know? In the court, Prince An is the head of all the officials, but in private, Lord Li is Prince An's future father-in-law. There's nothing wrong with what Prince An did."
"You said it yourself, he's my future father-in-law, isn't he?"
Some people who saw this still harbored some covetousness for the position of Princess An, after all, what family doesn't have a daughter?
If Prince An marries their daughter, then how will Prince An treat them...?
Besides, Li Tianyou is a nobody with no connections. What right does his daughter have to become the Princess Consort of Prince An?
With this in mind, everyone's thoughts became even more active.
Li Tianyou sat in the main hall of the Prince An's mansion, speechless with Xu Heming.
After finishing his tea, Li Tianyou coldly looked at Xu Heming and asked, "Xu Heming, do you still want to marry my daughter?"
Xu Heming was taken aback upon hearing this, not understanding why Li Tianyou would suddenly ask such a question.
He naturally wanted to marry Li Zhiwei; otherwise, he wouldn't have stooped to perform that dance at the palace for her.
"Father-in-law, have you heard something that has caused you to misunderstand?" Xu Heming thought to himself that he must investigate thoroughly to find out who dared to gossip about him behind his back.
"Misunderstanding? Tell me, what misunderstanding could I possibly have? If you have any complaints about me, just say so. You didn't need to buy fake alcohol to kill me!" Li Tianyou stood up angrily, pointed at Xu Heming's nose, and cursed.
