Chapter Sixty-Two
"I should return those words to you. You're just a minor princess consort. Do you really think you're some kind of imperial relative? In this capital, there are countless families of officials of the second rank or higher. Are you sure we're people you can afford to offend?" Although Li Zhiwei was somewhat afraid, at this moment, she wouldn't back down. She didn't believe that anyone could be so arrogant under the emperor's nose.
"Hahaha! You mean you're someone I can't afford to offend?" Madam Luo laughed arrogantly upon hearing this.
"If you were truly someone extraordinary, how could you send those bastards to this academy? Children from wealthy families either go to the Imperial Academy or hire tutors at home. Do you really think that I'll be afraid of you just because you say a few boastful words?" Madam Luo said to Li Zhiwei with a smug look on her face.
Clearly, he didn't take Li Zhiwei's words to heart.
She felt that these people were nothing more than ants that she could suppress at will.
"The bastards you're talking about are the heirs of Prince An, the heirs of Marquis Yongning, and the eldest son of the Xie family, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Hmph, none of these three are people that you, a mere member of the family of the Princess Consort of Zhennan, can afford to offend." At this point, Li Zhiwei had no choice but to invoke the identities of these people to put pressure on Madam Luo.
"Hahaha, next, are you going to say that you are Princess An? Hahaha, do you think I'll believe that? If you are Princess An, then I am the Empress! Guards, beat these people to death!" Madam Luo said to her servants without any politeness.
Master Feng, standing to the side, also crossed his arms and watched with a mocking expression as the group was restrained by Madam Luo's men.
“My young lady is the Princess Consort of An, personally appointed by the Emperor. If you dare to harm my young lady and the young masters, the Prince of An will not let you off the hook,” Cui Guo shouted to Madam Luo while resisting the servants who came forward.
"Useless wretches, why do you give them the energy to shout here? Has the Luo family failed to feed you properly?" Madam Luo angrily rebuked the servants.
Cuiguo and Shanzi, who were already struggling, now faced even greater difficulties.
Li Zhiwei shielded the children behind her.
Prince An's Mansion
While on his errand, Xu Heming felt somewhat uneasy and finally decided to return home to check on things.
I hope nothing bad has happened to the household.
Xu Heming had just arrived at the gate of Prince An's mansion when he encountered a servant sent by the Li family.
"Your Highness, you've finally returned." The servant had been waiting at the entrance of the Prince An's residence for quite some time.
However, the gatekeeper of Prince An's residence said that Prince An was not at home.
The servant was in a panic, wondering where to find Prince An, when he saw the man return.
"Who are you?" Xu Heming frowned. He didn't recognize this young man.
I don't know which courtyard they live in.
"Your Highness, I am from the Li family. Today, someone claiming to be from Rushan Academy came to the manor and took Miss away. Sister Cuiguo said that the person's tone was not very good, and also told Miss to take more silver to the academy. I was told to come to the manor to inform Your Highness as soon as possible." The servant said quickly.
"People from Rushan Academy?" Xu Heming frowned, thinking that today was Xu Qingshi's first day of school at Rushan Academy. Could it be that he had caused some trouble?
But why would that person go looking for Li Zhiwei?
"I understand. You go back first. I'll go to the academy now." Xu Heming was also a little uneasy.
Although Xu Qingshi is mischievous, he is still his own son. Could something have happened to him?
"Send someone to the Yongning Marquis's residence to inform the Xie family, and ask them to send someone to Rushan Academy. I'll go and take a look." After saying this, Xu Heming led several guards towards Rushan Academy.
At this time, the Xie family
“Master, tell me, why would you send Yanzhi to a place like Rushan Academy? My heart has been pounding all day long. Could something have happened to Yanzhi?” Yao said to Xie Jincheng, who had just returned, with a worried look on her face.
