Chapter 314
When Xu Heming arrived at the old lady's courtyard, she was sitting at the head of the table, still maintaining the airs of Xu Heming's mother-in-law.
Xu Heming entered the room but did not bow to the old lady. He merely glanced at her and then asked with displeasure, "Old Madam Zhou, is there something you need from me?"
Madam Zhou frowned; she hadn't expected Prince An to be so arrogant.
This is really shameless of them.
Thinking of this, Old Madam Zhou's expression turned sour.
"I heard that something happened to Qing Shi over there?" Old Madam Zhou sighed and asked with a heavy expression.
"This is the Zhou family. Doesn't Old Madam Zhou have better access to information than I do?" Xu Heming asked bluntly.
"Ah Xin is gone. This child was also unlucky," said Old Madam Zhou, feigning sadness.
In truth, he didn't care whether Xu Qingshi lived or died; he was just an outsider.
As long as her grandson was alright, Madam Zhou felt that Xu Qingshi's death was no different from the deaths of any other family whose maid or servant had died.
Moreover, her relationship with Xu Qingshi could not be described as close.
Therefore, even though Xu Qingshi has been at the Zhou family for so long, she doesn't even want to see him.
At this moment, she even thought that if the person was gone, so be it. In this way, her daughter could marry into the Prince An's mansion and have a few more children.
"Madam, is that really all you think?" Xu Heming asked, looking at Madam Zhou with a mocking expression.
"Yes, Prince An, you don't need to be too sad. That child has gone to Xin'er's side. He has been with you for five years, and it's time for him to spend more time with his mother," said Madam Zhou earnestly.
Those who didn't know better would think that Xu Qingshi didn't die in the Zhou family, but somewhere else.
Otherwise, where would Madam Zhou get the confidence to speak to Xu Heming like that?
"Hehe!" Xu Heming was so angry he almost laughed.
Her son is gone. She tells herself not to be sad, that her child has just gone to be with his mother.
Thinking about what Zhou Yuying had just said, I thought to myself, these two are indeed mother and daughter; they say the same things.
It's really pitiful to think about Zhou Yuxin; she actually has such a mother and sister.
“Prince An, you are still young. In principle, you should have children for the Prince’s family as soon as possible. Although the Emperor has bestowed that merchant’s daughter upon you, she doesn’t seem to be destined for many children. Ying’er is Xin’er’s younger sister. I suppose Xin’er also hopes that her sister can go to Prince An’s mansion to take care of you.” Old Madam Zhou deliberately used her daughter’s name to speak to Xu Heming.
I just hope that Xu Heming can take Zhou Yuying in.
Although she cannot be his principal wife, as long as he gives birth to his eldest son soon, it's uncertain who the Princess An will belong to in the future.
Moreover, the child Yu Ying gives birth to will surely resemble Xu Qingshi. When the time comes, Prince An will be reminded of her by the sight of the child, and the benefits will only go to his daughter.
"Does Madam Zhou not know how Zhou Shi died?" Xu Heming asked sarcastically, looking at Madam Zhou's "I'm doing this for your own good" attitude.
You know, no normal mother would let the murderer who killed her daughter marry her daughter's husband, right?
But Old Madam Zhou actually did that.
"That's because Xin'er is unlucky; she can't blame anyone else," said Old Madam Zhou with a matter-of-fact expression.
