The eunuch driving the carriage overheard what those people were saying and understood why his lord was in such a hurry.
When Xu Heming arrived, the Zhou family's gate was tightly closed.
"Go knock on the door!" Xu Heming ordered the guard beside him with a cold face.
The guards knocked on the door for a long time, but the Zhou family's gate remained tightly shut.
"Your Highness, no one answers the door," the guard quickly replied.
"Go and open this gate!" Xu Heming said, pointing to the wall beside him.
Upon hearing this, the guards, without saying a word, used their lightness skills to leap into the courtyard, and immediately, the Zhou family's gate opened from the inside.
A servant was squatting nearby, not daring to move.
Xu Heming did not make things difficult for the gatekeeper. After all, this was not a matter that a servant could decide. Perhaps some people were too guilty to open the door.
Qin believed that as long as she prevented anyone from opening the door, Prince An would not be able to enter.
To my surprise, just as I was thinking this, a servant rushed in and shouted, "Something terrible has happened! Prince An has broken in with his men!"
"What? How did he get in? Didn't I tell you to guard the gate and not let anyone in?" Upon hearing this, Madam Qin stood up in alarm and scolded the servant.
"Prince An...Prince An ordered someone to jump down from the wall and open the door," the servant said tremblingly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Changfeng clenched his fists, feeling sullen.
Just now, if I hadn't listened to Qin, perhaps I could have pleaded for some leniency.
"Where did Prince An go?" Zhou Changfeng stood up and asked.
"Young Master, Prince An has led his men towards Tingyun Courtyard," the servant quickly reported.
"Qin, you'd better think carefully about how you're going to clean this up! If you can't figure it out, then get back to your Qin family!" After saying that, Zhou Changfeng turned and walked towards Tingyun Courtyard.
Tingyun Temple
Xu Heming looked at the Tingyun Courtyard, which had been burned to ashes.
My heart sank.
What about Xu Qingshi?
"Your Highness, I searched this area before the fire started, but I didn't see the young master. He shouldn't be inside," Qingchuan said quickly, hoping he hadn't missed anything.
"Go find him! I want to see him alive or dead!" Xu Heming looked at the ashes; he refused to believe that Xu Qingshi had really burned to death inside.
With this in mind, Xu Heming decided to go find it himself.
"Your Highness, be careful, some of the fire hasn't finished burning yet," Qingchuan quickly reminded him when he saw Xu Heming approaching.
"I must go and see for myself." Xu Heming said, ignoring Qingchuan, and went to check.
"Oh, brother-in-law, why did you come all this way?" Zhou Changfeng greeted Xu Heming with a warm smile.
Xu Heming looked coldly at Zhou Changfeng, who was burning with passion.
It felt like a blunt object had struck my heart.
How did he manage to appear in front of me as if nothing had happened?
His son had only been at the Zhou family's house for a day when this happened.
How dare he show his face in front of me?
Thinking of this, Xu Heming punched Zhou Changfeng in the face.
One punch wasn't enough for him, so he threw another.
"Brother-in-law, calm down, calm down!" Although Zhou Changfeng had been punched, he still thought that perhaps this would calm Xu Heming down.
Then they won't blame the Zhou family!
"Calm down? If it were your son, Young Master Zhou, staying here today, would you be able to calm down?"
Xu Heming looked at Zhou Changfeng and questioned him angrily.
