Chapter 316
Upon hearing this, Zhu Hanyu quickly stood up. He was somewhat confused; were the chairs in the Zhou family not for sitting on?
"Can't I sit on this chair?" Zhu Hanyu said, not caring what Old Madam Zhou thought, and sat down on another chair.
When Madam Zhou saw that Xu Qingshi was ignoring her, she was furious.
“Prince An, is this how you usually teach your child? He sat down on his own before the elders even asked him to?” Old Madam Zhou looked at Xu Heming with displeasure, feeling that she had finally found something wrong with him.
"Madam, you should ask your parents if that's how they taught you," Xu Heming said with a slight smirk.
He scoffed inwardly, "This old hag, does she really think I, Xu Heming, am easy to manipulate?"
"Hmph, I wondered who he took after. It turns out this is all due to the upbringing of the Prince An's mansion. No wonder the child is so disrespectful at such a young age. I wonder if the Emperor would still be willing to assign you tasks if he knew your character." Old Madam Zhou was somewhat jealous. How could someone like Xu Heming gain the Emperor's favor?
In what way are his wife and son inferior to Xu Heming?
Unfortunately, Zhou Zhonghe had little presence in the imperial court.
They couldn't even speak in front of the emperor.
Thinking of this, Madam Zhou felt resentful towards Xu Heming again, for he didn't even try to help his own son.
Thinking of her daughter who died young, Old Madam Zhou felt dissatisfied again, thinking to herself, "She's really useless."
The Zhou family went to great lengths to marry her off to the Prince An's mansion, but she only enjoyed her glory for a year or two before passing away.
Normally, Xu Heming was not seen interacting with the Zhou family.
However, Xu Heming was still very wary of them and didn't like them coming to visit the children all the time.
Otherwise, this child wouldn't have been raised to be so unruly.
Zhu Hanyu sat there for a long time, but no servants came to serve him tea, which made him somewhat dissatisfied.
"Is this how the Zhou family treats its guests?" Zhu Hanyu asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Your Highness, the tea from the Zhou family isn't very good. Please bear with it," Xu Heming reassured him.
"Looking at this disorganized state, it's understandable that there's no good tea. Uncle An, where is Qingshi?" Zhu Hanyu nodded like a little adult, and then asked Xu Heming where his friend Xu Qingshi was.
Xu Heming, who was already in a bad mood, looked at Old Madam Zhou with a rather unpleasant expression after hearing these words.
"Madam Zhou, my son entered your Zhou family without any problems, but now he is missing. Shouldn't your Zhou family give my Prince An's Mansion an explanation for this?" Xu Heming's icy voice rang out.
Madam Zhou was initially taken aback, but then looked at Xu Qingshi with some confusion.
"Xu Heming, what are you doing? Isn't your son sitting right here?" Old Madam Zhou looked at Xu Heming and questioned him angrily.
"Which eye of yours saw that this is my son?" Xu Heming rolled his eyes at Old Madam Zhou, not wanting to argue with the old woman any further.
The most urgent task is to find Xu Qingshi.
"What? Qingshi is missing?" Zhu Hanyu finally understood; Xu Qingshi was truly gone.
For a moment, he became anxious. How could it disappear?
She still had so much to say to her.
"You're not Qingshi? Then who are you? Why are you in our Zhou family?" Old Madam Zhou was already frustrated and had nowhere to vent her anger. Originally, she thought this person was Xu Qingshi, but she didn't expect that this person was not.
