Chapter 326
"Alright, alright, let's leave it at that for now." Zhou Zuo rubbed his cheek, thinking to himself, "This prince probably doesn't know the Prince An's heir, right?"
He'll use this kid to fill in the numbers when the time comes.
The young master of the Prince An's mansion is now missing, as everyone knows.
When the time comes, it wouldn't be impossible to use this kid to trick Prince An.
"Brother, shall I take this old man with me?" Zhou You asked happily upon hearing this.
"Keep it for now, in case this little one starts making a fuss later, there will be someone to soothe him." Zhou Zuo thought for a moment, after all, Xu Qingshi was just a child.
"Well then, brother, I'll head back now," Zhou You said, scratching his head with a grin as he looked at Zhou Zuo.
"Alright, here's the money." Zhou Zuo knew from Zhou You's actions that he was asking him for money.
He muttered to himself, "What a shallow person."
They do good deeds and then can't wait to ask themselves for money.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zuo glanced at Xu Qingshi and Li Tianyou on the ground.
Once he takes this boy to the prince to curry favor, the prince will surely reward him with even more silver.
Prince An's Mansion
"Search! Search every inch of the capital, even if it means turning the entire capital upside down, until we find Qing Shi," Xu Heming said with a dark face.
He wanted to see who was so audacious as to kidnap his son.
"Your Highness...there is another person who disappeared along with the Crown Prince." Qingyuan glanced at Xu Heming with some difficulty, thinking of Li Tianyou who had also disappeared.
I wonder if my lord would be angry if he knew that Lord Li and the heir had disguised themselves to return to the manor to retrieve something.
"Who? Ru Song?" Xu Heming remembered that among the people Xu Qingshi brought to the Zhou family, there was also a Ru Song.
"Your Highness, Ru Song is outside the manor. Among those who disappeared with the young master is Lord Li," Qingyuan whispered.
Xu Heming was taken aback upon hearing this. He muttered to himself, "Lord Li?"
How many Lord Lis are there in the capital?
"Oh my, I knew those figures looked familiar!" Liu Ming slapped his forehead. He had said that the grandfather and grandson looked familiar and strange at the time. He wondered how they had found Liangqiyuan so accurately.
Xu Heming frowned. Could this Lord Li be Li Zhiwei's father?
"How could Qing Shi be with Lord Li?" Xu Heming asked, frowning.
"The young master originally wanted to go to Li'an County, but he didn't have any money on him, so he thought of returning to the manor to get some, but..." Thinking of Xu Qingshi's concerns, Qingyuan looked at Xu Heming with some doubt.
Isn't Your Highness being too harsh on the Crown Prince?
If the prince hadn't stopped wanting the heir, the heir wouldn't have had to suffer in the Zhou family.
"Just what?" Xu Heming looked at Qingyuan with some impatience, not understanding why this person was speaking so hesitantly.
"Your Highness, why don't we ask the young master why he is unwilling to return to the manor?" Liu Ming said, somewhat puzzled.
"Why?" Xu Heming frowned. He didn't know either. Xu Qingshi had clearly returned, so why did he leave again?
How much does he dislike his father?
"The young master was worried that the prince would send him back to the Zhou family, so he planned to have Lai Lai go to the manor to get the money. After thinking it over, the young master finally thought of Lord Li," Qingyuan said in a low voice.
"Hmph, he certainly knows how to pick his people!" Xu Heming snorted, thinking to himself, does that brat know that he will give Li Tianyou some leeway?
She's a shrewd little devil after all.
"Lord Li is not short of money, so why would he be willing to secretly come to the mansion to collect money for him?" Liu Ming asked, somewhat puzzled.
"The young master said that there was something very important to him in the mansion, and Lord Li couldn't resist the young master's pleading, so he came." Qingyuan thought of the old man and the child in disguise, and then looked at Liu Ming, whom they had met before.
