Chapter 322
Li Tianyou initially thought that this matter was probably just something someone had made up out of thin air.
But now, seeing Xu Qingshi in such a disheveled state, Li Tianyou began to doubt the veracity of those words.
Could it be that Xu Heming really doesn't want this child anymore?
Although Xu Heming was about to marry his daughter, he was unwilling to see Xu Heming abandon his own son.
“Why don’t you come back to the Li family with me? Don’t worry, I can support you,” Li Tianyou said, patting his chest.
"No, if I go to the Li family, my father will definitely find out." Xu Qingshi shook his head.
He just didn't want his father to find him.
Otherwise, why would he insist on leaving the capital?
"Then let's not let him find out, okay?" Li Tianyou thought for a moment and said in a low voice.
"Can't you go to Prince An's residence to get my things?" Xu Qingshi asked Li Tianyou with an expectant look.
“It’s not that I can’t go, but look, I have to attend court and I’m quite busy. Besides, if I go to your Prince An’s residence and then go to your courtyard to get something, wouldn’t that tell others that I have something improper to do? That would be too easy to expose.” Li Tianyou said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
However, what he said was not untrue. After all, if he really went to retrieve the item in that manner, it would be strange if others didn't suspect him.
“But then I won’t be able to get my silver notes,” Xu Qingshi said with a troubled expression.
"You want silver notes? How many do you want? I'll give them to you." Li Tianyou thought that if it was just silver notes, he could give them to you.
After all, it shouldn't cost much money for a child.
"You're giving it to me?" Xu Qingshi was taken aback by Li Tianyou's words. He then began to consider how much he should ask for if Li Tianyou was really willing to give him silver notes.
When Xu Qingshi thought about how Li Tianyou's banknotes were also earned through his hard work, he felt that he shouldn't have done that.
Considering that Xu Heming is his biological father, it's not unreasonable for him to ask him for some silver notes, is it?
"How about I write you an IOU, and you can ask my father for it later?" Xu Qingshi asked somewhat uncertainly.
The reason he gave for writing these IOUs was something he heard from a gambler at the gambling den.
Although he didn't know what those words actually meant.
But a promissory note should be a good thing, right?
Otherwise, the gambling den servant who originally wanted to beat the man would have let him go.
"You even know what an IOU is?" Li Tianyou laughed in exasperation. This little brat knows quite a lot.
Most importantly, he said to ask Xu Heming for it.
Was he absolutely certain that he would dare to ask Xu Heming for it?
Thinking of this, Li Tianyou wondered how much silver he would have to ask Xu Qingshi to write down.
"I know, I know, will this work?" Xu Qingshi asked excitedly.
“That should work, but how much silver do you want?” Li Tianyou asked curiously.
Xu Qingshi thought for a moment. He needed a carriage and some food to go to Li'an County, which would cost at least a lot of money. After thinking it over, Xu Qingshi decided that he should bring more silver notes: "Ten thousand taels!"
"How much?" Li Tianyou wondered if he had misheard. After all, such a small child shouldn't cost much money. But to his surprise, the child asked for ten thousand taels of silver.
This is no small sum of money, and Xu Qingshi is such a young child that he dared not give him too many silver notes.
Looking at Xu Qingshi covered in soot, Li Tianyou wondered if the child had gotten into some trouble that required so much money.
