Chapter Ninety-Six
Xu Heming followed the servants to the backyard.
"Hmph, I don't believe they can cause any trouble in our house!" Lou Shi said with dissatisfaction as she watched Xu Heming and the others leave.
He thought to himself that when he turned back, he would definitely have a good talk with his daughter about how Prince An was simply too lawless.
The Liu family is not a place that just anyone can come and search!
Liu Zongcheng, standing to the side, was sweating profusely with anxiety and could only silently pray that his room would not be discovered.
Otherwise, it could be a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family, since that room was filled with gold.
Thinking of this, Liu Zongcheng felt even more uneasy.
He had no other hobbies but loved having a room full of gold. He deliberately filled the room with gold and didn't let anyone near it, so he could count his gold without a care in the world.
There, he had accumulated tens of thousands of taels of gold over the years, which were not only piled up on the ground but also stuffed into the walls.
If this gets discovered...
"Old man, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go to the palace to ask the Emperor to stand up for us!" Lou Shi said with a dissatisfied look, looking at Liu Zongcheng who hadn't responded at all after she had been talking for so long.
"What's the rush!" How could Liu Zongcheng dare to leave at this moment?
What if Prince An takes away all the gold in my room after I leave?
Thinking of this, Liu Zongcheng was even more reluctant to leave; that gold was his lifeblood!
"You old fool, someone's already shitting on your neck and you're not worried? What, you'll only get worried when they've already shit themselves!" Lou said angrily.
In Lou's view, although Prince An's actions did not harm the Liu family in any way, they still disgusted them.
How could I not swallow this anger?
"What do you know? You're just a woman!" Liu Zongcheng was getting impatient. He couldn't very well tell this woman that he had hidden a room full of gold, could he?
Xu Heming frowned as he looked at the empty room. Was this the unusual room his subordinates had mentioned?
Xu Heming looked around and found that although the house was simple, it was exceptionally clean, and did not seem like no one had ever been there.
"Your Highness, we didn't think there was anything wrong with this house, but look." The guard suddenly took a brick off the wall with his bare hands.
Xu Heming was taken aback at first, then he saw the glittering gold bars inside the wall.
"Ha! Well done, Liu Zongcheng! Smash this house open!" Xu Heming hadn't expected that there would be gold hidden in this room.
"Have someone search carefully to see if there's any gold hidden in the other rooms. Also, search the mansion thoroughly to see if there are any secret rooms." Xu Heming gave the order, and the guards quickly went to carry it out.
Originally, Xu Heming was worried that he would make a wasted trip without finding any evidence against Liu Zongcheng, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.
Li family
"Dad, you really want him to stay?" Li Zhiwei was surprised that Li Tianyou actually agreed to let Xu Qingshi stay.
"Keep him! Why wouldn't we keep him? He's been delivered to our doorstep, why not take him? We've just picked up a grandson for free!" Li Tianyou said angrily.
"Father, you don't have to force yourself. If it really doesn't work, I'll send him back." Li Zhiwei was worried that Li Tianyou would be even angrier if he saw Xu Qing, so she carefully advised him.
After all, the Li family has no obligation to raise other people's children.
"No, didn't that kid say he wanted to take the surname Li? Then he's a child of the Li family!" Li Tianyou thought to himself, he just wanted to infuriate that bastard Xu Heming!
"Father, as long as you're happy!" Li Zhiwei shook her head and said. She didn't know why her father insisted on getting angry with Xu Heming. In her opinion, since the Emperor had bestowed the marriage, it was probably impossible to change it.
However, they can postpone the wedding.
