Chapter 324
Upon hearing this, Li Tianyou frowned deeply; he had always been a doting father.
Besides, this child saved his own daughter.
“Those things, if you leave them at Prince An’s residence, I doubt anyone would dare touch them. If you really need money, I’ll give it to you, no need for an IOU, okay?” Li Tianyou felt that if he really went to Prince An’s residence like this, wouldn’t it be more like he was a thief?
If I get caught, it won't just be me who loses face, but also my daughter's reputation in the Prince An's mansion. I can't afford to ruin it.
He absolutely cannot do this.
"I don't want to, dear grandfather, please go for me. There's something really important to me there," Xu Qingshi said, pulling on Li Tianyou's hand and pleading.
He silently told himself that money was really important to him, and that he wasn't lying.
"How about I cover for you while you go back?" Li Tianyou thought about it, but he still couldn't bring himself to steal things from his future son-in-law's house.
"Grandfather, what if my father finds out if I go?" Xu Qingshi said with some difficulty.
If he could, he would like to go back and get it himself, but now, the thought that his father no longer wanted him made him unwilling to return to the Prince An's residence.
"If he finds out, what will he do?" Li Tianyou asked, somewhat puzzled.
“He will definitely take me back to the Zhou family. I accidentally burned down the Zhou family’s courtyard. Grandfather, the Zhou family will definitely not let me go. You don’t know, when I went to the Zhou family, they wouldn’t even give me a bite to eat.” As Xu Qingshi spoke, tears kept falling down his face.
Xu Qingshi wiped the black soot off his face and then onto his body. Fortunately, Li Tianyou had changed out of his robes and was now dressed in peasant clothes.
It's no longer the official robes it used to be.
However, upon hearing this, Li Tianyou learned that the Zhou family was not giving Xu Qingshi any food.
I couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
“The Zhou family has really gone too far,” Li Tianyou said, frowning.
"Grandfather, I really don't want to go to the Zhou family anymore. Those Zhou family members don't treat me like a human being at all," Xu Qingshi cried to Li Tianyou again.
“Yes, we can’t go to the Zhou family.” Li Tianyou was also a little anxious when he thought of the Zhou family.
“But those things can’t be given to my father, right?” Xu Qingshi looked at Li Tianyou, as if he was certain that Li Tianyou would help him.
After all, his father was always somewhat reserved whenever he met the King or Lord Li.
Every time Lord Li saw his father, he showed great disdain for him.
“Qing Shi, you’re right. We can’t let your father get away with this.” Li Tianyou nodded firmly and said.
"So, Grandfather, you've agreed to go to Prince An's mansion in my place?" Xu Qingshi asked excitedly.
“No, that won’t do. How about we go together?” Li Tianyou thought about it and decided he didn’t want to go alone.
Xu Qingshi looked at Li Tianyou with a wronged expression. He thought that Li Tianyou should help him.
However, thinking of the silver he had hidden, he could only grit his teeth and decide that he had to go and get it back himself.
“Then let’s go together, but I need to change my clothes,” Xu Qingshi said, looking at his own clothes.
"I think that even if you went to the Prince An's mansion looking like a little kitten, no one would recognize you, right?" Li Tianyou looked at Xu Qingshi's dirty clothes and thought that the people in the Prince An's mansion probably wouldn't recognize him as the Prince An's heir.
“Then let’s go now.” Xu Qingshi thought about it and also felt that what Li Tianyou said made a lot of sense.
He couldn't wait a moment longer.
