Xu Jinan was a little scared, but she didn't dare to say anything, otherwise, she didn't know how Li Zhiwei would treat her.
"Thank you ladies for speaking up for my father. My mother and I have just returned. We will invite all of you neighbors to our home after my mother has rested." Li Zhiwei ignored Xu Jin'an on the ground and said with a smile to the ladies who were watching the show.
“Miss Li, you’re too kind. Now that Madam Li has come to the capital, we will definitely come over to chat with her once she has rested.” A woman said with a smile.
Li Zhi smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with the ladies before closing the door.
"Miss, what should we do with this person?" Qingyue asked, looking at Xu Jin'an, who was bound hand and foot on the ground.
"Let it go. If I see you again, you won't be so lucky." Li Zhiwei didn't argue with Xu Jin'an. After all, this was probably her good mother's idea.
However, if she remains obstinate, she will not let her off easily.
Prince An's Mansion
Xu Heming sat down and looked at Zheng Qiaoshu, who was covered in wounds, and asked again, "Who told you to do this?"
Xu Heming's face darkened. He hadn't expected Zheng Qiaoshu to be so tight-lipped.
Even after he had people torture him severely, he still couldn't get the person behind it to reveal his identity.
He couldn't believe that the Zheng family would dare to treat his mother like that.
“Even if you beat me to death, I won’t tell.” Zheng Qiaoshu looked at Xu Heming with a smug expression.
She just wouldn't say.
Her master will surely come to save her.
“She’s a tough nut to crack!” Xu Heming said coldly to Zheng Qiaoshu.
Even if she doesn't speak, he has plenty of ways to get her to talk.
“I told you, if you marry me, I will tell you who is behind this!” Zheng Qiaoshu said, looking at Xu Heming again.
"You're dreaming!" Xu Heming refused without even thinking.
"Heh, then you just wait, wait for my master to kill all the people in your Prince An's Mansion one by one." Zheng Qiaoshu finished speaking and then laughed loudly.
“This time, the old woman was lucky. Next time, she won’t be so lucky. Now that the old woman is gone, who do you think will be the next one? Your son? Or your fiancée?” Zheng Qiaoshu finished speaking and then burst into laughter again.
"Cousin, if you marry me, I'll tell you who that person is, okay?" Zheng Qiaoshu looked at Xu Heming and tempted him again.
She couldn't believe it. She was no worse than Li Zhiwei, so why could Li Zhiwei marry her cousin but she couldn't?
"It seems the punishment was too lenient." Xu Heming's face was as black as it could possibly be. He never expected that Zheng Qiaoshu would still have the nerve to propose to him.
"Didn't you want to know who's behind this?" Zheng Qiaoshu was a little scared, after all, the whip really hurt when it hit her.
But she was unwilling to accept it. All she wanted was to marry him. If he couldn't even fulfill such a small wish for her, how could she possibly betray her master for him?
As long as I don't betray them, my master will definitely find a way to get me out.
Lanhuai Prince's Mansion
"Useless!" Upon learning that Xu Heming had already returned to the capital with Li Zhiwei and Xu Qingshi, Prince Lanhuai was furious.
"Your Highness, please calm down. We didn't expect that Prince An would actually travel by water," Shanzi said, kneeling on the ground.
"Now that Prince An has returned, those people should withdraw." The thought of Prince An's return still filled Prince Lanhuai with anger, but the most urgent matter was to figure out the next step.
"Since the pawn of Prince An's mansion is useless, let's arrange the second step." Prince Lan Huai looked in the direction of Prince An's mansion and said coldly.
