Chapter 238
Zhu Jingchen stared coldly at Huo Yunxuan, as if trying to read something from his face.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Huo Yunxuan felt the emperor's imposing aura and quickly knelt down, no longer daring to underestimate him.
"Huo Yunxuan, what crime have you committed?" Zhu Jingchen asked, but the coldness in his tone sent a chill down Huo Yunxuan's spine.
Huo Yunxuan was stumped. What crime had he committed?
He didn't actually think he had done anything wrong; he had only said a few words.
Could it be that His Majesty forbids me from telling the truth?
Zhu Jingchen looked at Huo Yunxuan, who remained silent, and gave a soft snort.
The court officials all knelt down tremblingly, crying out, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"
Seeing the officials kneel down, Li Zhiwei followed suit, but she was still somewhat uneasy. After all, although she hadn't started these events, they were still quite related to her.
These were things that had never happened in her previous life, and she couldn't predict what the Emperor would do next.
At this moment, all she could do was wait and see what the Emperor would do to them. Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei looked at her father with some worry.
Prince An's Mansion
Xu Qingshi was excitedly telling his friend about the interesting things that had happened in Li'an County.
"Xu Qingshi, your stepmother has remarried!"
Wei Herui looked at the group of people chatting happily and suddenly spoke up.
Suddenly, there was a deathly silence all around.
Xu Qingshi glared fiercely at Wei Herui.
He already disliked Wei Herui, and now that Wei Herui was making sarcastic remarks, Xu Qingshi would have loved to go up and fight him if he hadn't been still recovering.
What he said was so annoying!
"Wei Herui, what nonsense are you spouting?" Xie Yanzhi thought that Wei Herui was really lacking in tact.
Can't he tell that Qing Shi isn't feeling well and needs rest?
They actually brought this up.
Isn't this clearly an attempt to provoke Xu Qingshi?
“How am I talking nonsense? Everyone’s saying the same thing.” Wei Herui said with dissatisfaction. He didn’t think he had said anything wrong. Everyone was saying that Li Zhiwei got married. It wasn’t him who said it first.
Thinking of this, Wei Herui was still somewhat dissatisfied. He didn't understand why Xie Yanzhi always sided with Xu Qingshi. Was it because his father was a prince?
But his grandfather was the Grand Tutor!
He's no worse than Xu Qingshi, is he?
Xu Qingshi, his eyes red, looked at Xie Yanzhi and Jiang Yu beside him and asked with dissatisfaction, "Is what he said true?"
Xu Qingshi didn't know what marriage meant before, but after he stole Li Zhiwei's dowry, his grandmother explained it to him.
When a girl grows up, she will marry into another man's family; when a man grows up, he will also get married.
So now, he understands that "marrying" means Li Zhiwei is going to marry someone else.
Moreover, his grandmother had told him that Li Zhiwei was going to marry his father, and that Li Zhiwei would be his mother from then on.
He actually quite liked Li Zhiwei being his mother.
However, last time, when Li Zhiwei disappeared, he happened to overhear a woman saying that beautiful women always leave with someone. He was afraid that Li Zhiwei would leave with someone, so he said some harsh words.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingshi bit her lip.
Xie Yanzhi quickly reassured Xu Qingshi, saying, "Qingshi, don't worry, this is just a rumor. Miss Li is definitely not married yet."
