Chapter Ninety-Four
Upon hearing Xu Qingshi's words, Li Zhiwei's lips twitched. She thought to herself, "Good heavens, Xu Heming can't afford to raise his son, so he's sending him to the Li family to be raised."
Upon hearing this, Li Tianyou chuckled.
"Does your father agree to this?" Li Tianyou thought to himself. This Prince An didn't seem like a good son-in-law candidate, but his son was quite sensible.
Since Xu Heming doesn't want it anymore, it's not like the Li family can't afford to support him.
Thinking of this, Li Tianyou said to Zhou Tong, who was standing beside him, "Zhou Tong, quickly take the young master to settle in."
"Thank you, Grandfather!" Xu Qingshi said happily upon hearing this.
"Haha, I like that 'Grandfather' greeting." Li Tianyou was overjoyed upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "Look how quick-witted this kid is!"
It's a pity he's too young; otherwise, wouldn't it be great if this kid were my son-in-law?
“Grandfather, from now on Qing Shi will be called Li Qing Shi. If you think Li Qing Shi doesn’t sound good, you can give Qing Shi another name, like Li San, Li Si, or Qing Shi.” Xu Qing Shi said affectionately, pulling on Li Tian You’s arm.
"Haha! Okay, then from now on we'll call him Li Qingshi! He'll be our Li family's grandson!" Li Tianyou was overjoyed to hear this.
Xu Heming is not necessary, but how can one refuse a grandson who is offered to them?
"Father!" Li Zhiwei frowned. She had never heard of someone running away with another person's child after a failed marriage.
“Mother, Grandfather has already agreed to let me be a child of the Li family. From now on, I will take your surname and be included in your Li family register. Isn’t that good?” Xu Qingshi looked at Li Zhiwei with a hurt expression and said.
“Young Master, our Li family is merely a merchant family, incomparable to the An Prince’s mansion. Moreover, no matter who your father marries, it will not change the fact that you are the heir of the An Prince.” Li Zhiwei sighed, feeling somewhat touched by Xu Qingshi’s actions, but also knowing that the Li family and the An Prince’s mansion were incomparable.
Besides, Xu Heming never said he wanted to marry that Liu woman. Xu Qingshi was completely overthinking it. He is the son of Prince An, which is an indisputable fact.
"What? Prince An wants to break off the engagement?" Li Tianyou, who was unaware of the situation, became even angrier upon hearing this.
It's one thing that he doesn't want his daughter to marry Xu Heming, but it's another thing that Xu Heming wants to marry someone else.
"Grandfather, so please take Qingshi in. That wicked woman will never let me live," Xu Qingshi said, hugging Li Tianyou with a look of fear.
Li Tianyou looked at Xu Qingshi with a complicated expression.
The thought that Xu Qingshi was Xu Heming's son made it impossible for him to agree to the matter.
“Young Master, my daughter is right. My Li family’s social standing is not as good as that of the Prince An’s Mansion. Moreover, if the marriage between your father and my daughter doesn’t happen, it would be easy for people to criticize you if you stayed in my family,” Li Tianyou said with a slight sigh.
I don't know if Xu Qingshi, a child, can understand what I'm saying.
Meanwhile, Xu Heming, at the Prince An's residence, was unaware that his son was already spouting nonsense in front of his future father-in-law, even mentioning the date when he was about to marry Liu Ruyan into the household.
She just wanted to stay in the Li family.
“Your Majesty, I just had someone investigate. It is true that Consort Liu saw you before she entered the palace, but you never spoke to her alone.” Qingsong told Xu Heming everything he had found out.
"So there's no interaction between us?" Xu Heming breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; it was good that there was no interaction.
“But it can’t be said that there was absolutely no connection. I also found out some things about the late Princess Consort’s passing.” Qingsong looked at Xu Heming with some difficulty, not knowing whether he could tell the Prince this, after all, the late Princess Consort had been gone for so many years.
Now, he is about to marry a new queen.
"Speak!" Xu Heming said coldly. He had been busy and only thought that Zhou's death was really due to difficult childbirth. After all, these days, there are quite a few women who die from difficult childbirth.
