Chapter 328
"Grandfather, dressed like that, who would believe you can make money? But if you said you could farm, people would believe you," Xu Qingshi said, covering his mouth and chuckling.
"Oh, you're right. So what are they planning to do by kidnapping us?" Thinking of this, Li Tianyou really felt that it was not normal for the two of them to be captured here.
"Are you scared?" Li Tianyou asked, looking at Xu Qingshi.
“With my grandfather here, I’m not afraid.” Xu Qingshi shook his head.
“Since that’s the case, then we won’t run away. I want to see what those people are up to by kidnapping us here.” Li Tianyou didn’t keep his plans from Xu Qingshi just because Xu Qingshi was a child.
"Great! We're going to catch all the bad guys in one fell swoop!" Xu Qingshi thought to himself, feeling a little excited about their mission to catch the bad guys.
As night fell, Li Zhiwei still hadn't seen Li Tianyou return home, and she began to worry.
Where did Father take Qingshi?
"Your father still hasn't come back at this hour?" Yao asked anxiously.
"Mother, what important matters in court have kept Father away?" Li Zhiwei had no idea where Li Tianyou had gone at this moment.
However, she still didn't want Yao to worry.
"Ah, being an official is really difficult, it's not as good as before," Yao sighed, feeling a little sorry for him.
I thought it was a job with little pay and a lot of work.
"Mother, you should go and rest first. Father will be back soon after he finishes his work," Li Zhiwei comforted her in a low voice.
"Sigh!" Madam Yao sighed and went back to her room.
Li Zhiwei, fearing that Yao would worry, also returned to her room.
"Qingyue, go ask the Prince later if there's any news. My father hasn't returned yet," Li Zhiwei said worriedly.
“Yes, Miss,” Qingyue said respectfully.
Li Zhiwei sighed, hoping that everyone was alright.
Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to think about whether Xu Heming would go crazy if her father lost Xu Qingshi.
Lanhuai Prince's Mansion
"Your Highness, we've found out. The owner of that brothel is the second young lady of the Cheng family."
Shanzi bowed and spoke to King Lanhuai.
"Miss Cheng the Second?" Lan Huaiwang frowned. He hadn't expected that Huo Yunzhi would take a fancy to Miss Cheng the Second's restaurant. This was going to be troublesome.
You have to understand that the Cheng family has neither money nor power, so going to the Cheng family yourself would be a thankless task.
“Yes, Your Highness, this Miss Cheng likes to do some small businesses. Qingyuzhai is the one she set up,” Shanzi quickly said.
“Qingyu Zhai?” Prince Lan Huai tapped his hands on the table, thinking to himself that today’s events were because Qingyu Zhai had placed their residence under house arrest.
Huo Yunzhi was making a scene here.
It seems he really needs to go and meet the Cheng family.
However, Lan Huaiwang did not believe that he could bring the Cheng family under his control.
After all, the Cheng family is the Empress's maternal family, and the Empress has a third prince. No matter how much benefit he promises, the Cheng family, unless they are stupid, will not get on his side.
Thinking of this, King Lan Huai felt a little regretful.
"Prepare a generous gift; we're going to the Cheng family." Lan Huaiwang thought for a moment. Even if the Cheng family wouldn't help him, buying a restaurant from them shouldn't be a big problem.
He believed that the Cheng family wouldn't stoop so low as to disrespect him.
