Chapter 148
"How could I not understand? What's so great about Li Zhiwei? If she were really that good, how could she have been jilted?" Huo Yunlan was even more displeased to see her younger brother speaking up for Li Zhiwei like this.
"She's fine!" Huo Yunxuan said through gritted teeth.
After all, even though Li Zhiwei had been rejected by her fiancé before, there were still plenty of men who wanted to marry her.
What was the purpose of all this meticulous scheming against Xu Heming?
"I don't care, the only daughter-in-law in the Huo family is Xin'er. Li Zhiwei will never be allowed into the Huo family! You come upstairs with me now to see Xin'er!" Huo Yunlan said forcefully.
"If you like her so much, go ahead and marry her yourself. I'm not marrying her!" Huo Yunxuan said impatiently before leaving.
"That brat!" Huo Yunlan never expected her younger brother to be so disrespectful to her.
However, since everyone had left, there was nothing she could do. But she was afraid she couldn't underestimate Li Zhiwei.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhiwei is quite capable.
Despite being jilted at her engagement, she still manages to charm her own younger brother completely.
Thinking of this, Huo Yunlan entered the T-shaped private room with a sullen face.
"Sister Huo!" Meng Xin'er saw Huo Yunlan come in and quickly stood up, greeting her with a smile.
In fact, she had seen everything that Huo Yunxuan and his sister had done.
She believed she was no less capable than Li Zhiwei, but she was still quite dissatisfied with that.
However, Meng Xin'er's greatest strength is her ability to endure.
"Xin'er, I'm sorry, there was a slight accident that delayed me a bit. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Huo Yunlan said with a smile when he saw Meng Xin'er.
In her heart, she was still blaming Li Zhiwei. If it weren't for Li Zhiwei's shameless seduction of her own younger brother, she wouldn't have wasted so much time.
"Sister Huo, you're too kind. I just arrived myself." Meng Xin'er glanced outside the door and was a little disappointed when she didn't see Huo Yunxuan.
After Li Zhiwei led Xu Qingshi out of Wangyue Tower, they resumed their usual aloofness.
“Young Master, please don’t call me Mother anymore. Your father sent you to Li’an County with me to seek refuge. Try not to go out these days,” Li Zhiwei said to Xu Qingshi.
"Mother, why?" Xu Qingshi didn't understand. He had already called her mother, so why was she unhappy?
“There’s no reason why. Your father and I are not yet married. It’s inappropriate for you to address me like that!” Li Zhiwei said coldly.
Xu Qingshi scratched his head, puzzled. Could it be that Li Zhiwei could refuse to marry the King?
Didn't they say that the Emperor had already arranged the marriage?
Is there any change?
I must find the Third Prince and get to the bottom of this someday!
"Mother, are you really not going to marry my father?" Xu Qingshi asked, puzzled.
"Aren't you going to marry Xu Heming?" Li Zhiwei was also asked this question.
Beijing
Xu Heming stood in the imperial study, his face solemn, and said, "Your Majesty, now that things have reached the final stage, I would like to request a few days' leave!"
"Are you sure you want to take leave at this time?" Zhu Jingchen couldn't believe that Xu Heming would do something like discarding him after he had served his purpose.
Is he going to ask for leave at this time?
