Chapter 173
Ah Zhong had noticed the commotion earlier.
Although he was ordered by the young lady not to open the door, this order did not include the madam.
Butler Zhou also rushed out, intending to take Xu Heming to the guest courtyard.
As soon as Ah Zhong opened the door, he saw Xu Heming and Qingchuan following behind Yao Shi.
"Madam, you're back," Butler Zhou said respectfully.
"Hmm, take him downstairs to change his clothes first. If you don't have any, have someone go to the clothing store and get him a few sets," Yao said with a look of disgust.
She was afraid that Xu Heming's attire would bring shame to the Li family.
Xu Heming deeply sensed his future mother-in-law's dislike for him.
I sighed inwardly!
It seems that on this trip to Li'an County, I not only need to appease Li Zhiwei, but I also need to appease my future mother-in-law.
"I'll have someone prepare clothes right away," Qingchuan said quickly.
In his heart, he silently lit an incense stick for his prince.
Sitting in the courtyard with a cold face, Madam Yao said, "Chuntao, go and send a letter to the master, telling him that he must come back!"
“Madam, Master is currently serving as an official in the court, and I’m afraid he won’t be able to return for some time,” Chun Tao explained carefully.
"Let him figure something out. If that doesn't work, just say that I'm very ill and about to die, and ask him to come back so I can see him one last time!" Madam Yao said, sipping her tea.
“Madam, you can’t say things like that,” Chun Tao quickly said.
"That's how it is!" Madam Yao was furious. She had initially disagreed with her daughter marrying into the capital, but Li Tianyou said that as long as they provided enough wealth, she wouldn't suffer any mistreatment in her husband's family.
She didn't suffer any mistreatment at her husband's home because she never even entered the front door.
Thinking of this, Yao felt extremely distressed.
Right now, Li Tianyou, that scoundrel, didn't even consult me about arranging this marriage, as if my daughter were his alone.
By the time she found out, everything was already set in stone. Before today, she didn't even know whether her future son-in-law was a human or a ghost.
Li Tianyou didn't explain it to him clearly.
It's good that I saw you today!
A poor, penniless prince!
Does her daughter not deserve to eat well?
It was served with rotten fish and shrimp.
Xu Heming looked at the small and ordinary guest house that Butler Zhou had arranged for him and sighed inwardly.
The Li family doesn't like me!
Thinking about his mother-in-law's attitude towards him just now.
Xu Heming dared not imagine whether Yao would actually have someone kick him out if she knew that he had almost killed Li Tianyou.
"Father!" Xu Heming had just finished washing up when he heard a cheerful voice.
Who else could it be but Xu Qingshi?
"Father, are you here to take me and my pretty sister back to the capital?" Xu Qingshi asked Xu Heming with an expectant look on his face.
Upon hearing this, Xu Heming was somewhat puzzled. Before coming to Li'an County, didn't Xu Qingshi call Li Zhiwei "mother"?
Why did you change your tune?
"Father?" Xu Qingshi looked at Xu Heming, who was frowning, and was puzzled as to why he was ignoring him.
