"What did he do to the princess?" Xu Heming's unease grew stronger.
After all, at that time, he only sent eight bodyguards to accompany Li Zhiwei and Xu Qingshi.
It was one thing for Yang Zuo to come back, but now Li Rui has brought two more people back.
Moreover, Li Rui returned with a smelly old man, which clearly indicates that this person must have offended Li Zhiwei.
“He made the princess marry him as his concubine!” Li Rui quickly said.
"Put the man in the Ministry of Justice's jail first, and tell Lord Liu that we'll interrogate him when I return!" Xu Heming said, then left with a group of people in a great hurry.
"Oh, why did the prince leave so soon?" Li Rui asked, puzzled. He hadn't even had a chance to tell the prince the message the princess had given him.
"Hurry up and send him to the Ministry of Justice," another guard said to Cao Yunpeng.
Li Zhiwei and Shen An'an sat in a tea shop, and Xu Qingshi did not follow them for a long time. Li Zhiwei was a little surprised. When Shen An'an talked to her, she was also a little absent-minded.
"Zhiwei, is there something you need?" Shen An'an asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's alright, it's been a long time since we last met. An'an, are you alright?" Li Zhiwei quickly composed herself and asked.
"I'm fine, but my parents are planning to arrange a marriage for me." Shen An'an felt a little down when she thought of this.
She didn't want to get married because she felt that marriage would definitely affect the speed at which she could earn money.
Besides, after she gets married, she probably won't be able to show her face in public anymore.
"Are there any suitable families? Before getting married, you must have your uncle and aunt inquire about the character of the man's family," Li Zhiwei said to her friend, recalling her experiences from both lives.
"Zhiwei, I don't want to get married. What's so good about getting married? I don't understand why my parents insist on me getting married," Shen An'an sighed and said.
"If I get married, will I be confined to that small courtyard? Will I only be able to manage the household chores and the children?" Shen An'an felt very resistant to the thought.
"Not necessarily. If the husband's family is tolerant, they certainly wouldn't do it this way, would they?" Li Zhiwei wasn't entirely sure after saying that.
"Zhiwei, what about you? Is that person good to you?" Shen An'an thought to herself. Although outsiders were saying that Li Zhiwei had been rejected after her marriage to the capital, the matter was still fresh in everyone's minds.
However, she wanted Li Zhiwei to tell her this personally.
Otherwise, she wouldn't believe what others said.
"You know about what happened when I married into the capital. Back then, that family just left me standing outside their house and wouldn't let me in," Li Zhiwei said, smiling somewhat awkwardly.
"After that, my child followed me and took me back to his home." Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have been so harsh on Xu Qingshi. After all, if it weren't for Xu Qingshi, she might still be stuck in that quagmire of the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion.
"Then I should thank that child properly." Thinking of Xu Qingshi's adorable appearance, Shen An'an quickly said.
"Yes, we should thank him properly," Li Zhiwei said softly, thinking that she would definitely apologize to Xu Qingshi when she got back. No matter what Xu Heming did, it had nothing to do with Xu Qingshi. She shouldn't let a little child like Xu Qingshi bear the brunt of her anger.
"That kid just now, he looks unfamiliar. He doesn't seem to be from Li'an County, does he?"
Suddenly, a voice reached Li Zhiwei's ears.
"That child, I saw him following Miss Li around," someone quickly said.
“He’s finished. He actually dared to offend that little ancestor of the Qin family.” Another person said, shaking his head.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiwei was startled. Could something have happened to Xu Qingshi?
