Chapter 178
"Uncle, there's no need for such formalities. We're all family." Xu Heming quickly helped Yao Qisheng up, feeling smug. It seemed his uncle was quite savvy.
Hmph, let's see if he dares to steal my man again!
Li Zhiwei belongs to him; no one else can take her away.
Li Zhiwei's lips twitched slightly. Who was that putting on airs just now?
Now they know they're on their side?
"You are a prince, so naturally I should pay my respects to you." Yao Qisheng didn't know if Xu Heming was really not allowing him to bow or if he was just being polite.
In any case, he dared not cross the line.
Why can't the people fight against the officials?
Moreover, this was a top-level official; even if Yao Qisheng had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to be negligent.
"Since you are Zhiwei's uncle, you are also my uncle. There's no need for such formalities," Xu Heming said with satisfaction, seeing Yao Qisheng's tactful manner.
"Alright, hurry up and go. If you don't go now, he'll run away again. How are you going to get justice for my father then?" Li Zhiwei said, hands on her hips, glaring at Xu Heming with dissatisfaction.
She wondered why Huo Yunxuan had slipped away so quickly today.
It turns out he had done something wrong.
"Don't worry, I will definitely get justice for my father-in-law." Thinking of this, Xu Heming's eyes became even more ruthless.
Does Huo Yunxuan really think he can become the emperor's confidant and is easy to fool?
At the time, I was deceived because I trusted him too much.
"Weiwei, this must be my future nephew-in-law, right?" Yao Qisheng breathed a sigh of relief after watching Xu Heming leave with his men.
However, I thought to myself that my son was able to return safely probably because my niece pleaded for him.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Uncle. The Emperor has bestowed this marriage upon us. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be your nephew-in-law," Li Zhiwei said, nodding.
“My nephew-in-law treats you well.” Yao Qisheng thought of how Li Zhiwei had treated him badly just now, but Xu Heming was not angry at all. On the contrary, he was very humble.
"Uncle, don't let him fool you." Li Zhiwei sighed as she thought of Xu Heming.
“Okay, as long as he’s nice to us, that’s fine. By the way, where’s your mother?” Yao Qisheng asked curiously.
After all, he genuinely loved Yao Shi, his only younger sister.
While I came here partly to apologize, I also wanted to see my sister whom I hadn't seen for over ten years.
“Mother is feeling much better lately. I’ll take you to see her now,” Li Zhi said with a smile.
"Okay, so your father really became an official in the capital?" Yao Qisheng asked as they walked.
“It’s true. It was the Emperor’s favor that made my father the Vice Minister of Revenue.” Li Zhiwei nodded.
Upon hearing this, Yao Qisheng sighed inwardly.
He thought to himself, if only they had agreed to let Shuheng come to the Li family to marry Zhiwei when his sister wrote back then.
Now that my brother-in-law has gone to Beijing to serve as an official, will my son also be able to benefit from it?
