Chapter 240
Upon hearing Yao's words, Xu Qingshi momentarily forgot whether he should continue crying or stop.
Therefore, the news that Li Zhiwei got married is false; Li Zhiwei did not get married.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingshi cautiously asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
Xu Qingshi was still somewhat incredulous. After all, Wei Herui was a person he disliked, but it seemed that he had never lied to him.
Madam Yao replied irritably, "Do you think I don't know whether my daughter is married or not? Would I lie to you about something like this?"
Madam Yao was also a little annoyed. Why did those gossipy people have to spread rumors that their daughter was already married?
But this silly boy actually took it seriously. The way he cried so heartbreakingly just now, anyone who didn't know better would have thought his wife had been stolen.
"Then I want to see her!" Xu Qingshi pouted, looking aggrieved.
Xu Qingshi was also afraid at this moment. He was sure that Yao's words were a lie and that Li Zhiwei had actually married into another family. He could not feel at ease until he saw her.
"Well, that's not up to me. You won't be able to see him right now," Yao thought to herself, rolling her eyes as she spoke truthfully.
"You lied to me!" Xu Qingshi's eyes reddened again. He felt that Yao's words just now were all lies to him. Li Zhiwei must have married someone else, otherwise, why couldn't he see her?
It's obvious that she's not in the Li family anymore; she's married into another family.
"You silly child, is it really necessary? She's gone to the palace, and I don't even know when she'll be back." Madam Yao sighed inwardly, but still told Xu Qingshi about Li Zhiwei's trip to the palace.
Thinking to myself, this child is quite cunning.
"If you want to wait for her, then rest in the manor first. You'll be able to see her when she returns." Seeing Xu Qingshi's haggard appearance, Madam Yao was worried that he might not make it through.
This child had saved Li Zhiwei's life, after all. For that reason, Yao Shi didn't hold his rudeness against him. After all, he was just a five-year-old child.
In the imperial court
Huo Yunxuan collapsed to the ground, never expecting that all he wanted was for the Emperor to grant him the imperial decree of marriage.
He originally thought that even if things didn't work out, the worst outcome would be that he would return to Li'an County.
But now, the emperor actually wants to punish him.
How can this be?
He was just a merchant; if the emperor punished him again, would he have any chance of survival?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I only admire Miss Li and that's why I had such inappropriate thoughts. I have no other ill intentions!" Huo Yunxuan finally lowered his posture to the extreme.
Only then did he realize how much the Emperor had tolerated him just now.
Zhu Jingchen's face darkened. He had given him many chances just now, but this guy always took advantage of his kindness.
They didn't even respect the emperor, let alone the court officials.
If he doesn't deal with him, how can he gain the respect of the people in the court in the future?
"If you admire Miss Li, you can openly and honestly come to her door to ask for her hand in marriage. Instead, you allow someone to slander her reputation and use our entire court as a stage for you to make fun of others. Huo Yunxuan, have you thought about the consequences?" Zhu Jingchen slammed his fist on the dragon table in anger.
"It is I who have committed a crime, Your Majesty, please forgive me!" At this moment, Huo Yunxuan dared not have any other thoughts and could only keep kowtowing and begging for mercy.
