“Sister-in-law, what’s wrong with someone coming to get food from the kitchen for Qingshi? Does that mean Qingshi can’t eat Zhou’s food when he comes here?” Zhou Yuying continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Aren't you going to bring them food?" Zhou Changfeng asked through gritted teeth.
"They came to pick it up after their mealtime, is it my fault?" Qin retorted somewhat guiltily.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Zhou Changfeng gasped and shouted loudly.
Hu Lai is the Zhou family's steward.
Steward Hu must know what Madam Qin did today.
"Young Master, this old servant is here." Hu Lai had been waiting outside for a while, and upon hearing Zhou Changfeng's words, he quickly came in.
"Where are you keeping the young master at your residence today? Have his food, clothing, and other necessities been sent over?" Zhou Changfeng asked Hu Lai with a gloomy expression.
"This..." Hu Lai looked at Qin Shi with some difficulty, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
"Why has this family changed their surname to Qin? Does my word no longer carry weight?" Zhou Changfeng asked angrily when he saw Hu Lai looking at the Qin family.
"Young Master, please calm down. This old servant will tell you now. The Young Madam sent the young master to Tingyun Courtyard. As for the rest, the Young Madam didn't say anything else, this old servant..." Hu Lai dared not finish his sentence.
Since Qin Shi made no arrangements, he pretended not to know and did not prepare anything for Xu Qingshi.
"So, you only sent the heir of the Prince An's mansion, my nephew, to that desolate courtyard where the grass is taller than a tree? You did nothing else? Nonsense! I think you've reached the end of your job as steward!" Zhou Changfeng angrily smashed his teacup at Hu Lai.
Hu Lai dared not dodge, and a bloody hole was smashed into his head.
"Young Master, please calm down!" Hu Lai could only kneel down and beg for mercy. Otherwise, he was just a servant, and if the young master sold him off, he would probably only be able to be sold to a black kiln to do hard labor.
Thinking of this, Hu Lai felt extremely regretful.
He should have asked the eldest young master or the old lady for their opinion back then.
Qin, who hadn't thought she'd done anything wrong, was now starting to panic. She was afraid that Zhou Changfeng's anger would be directed at her next.
Zhou Yuying, standing to the side, revealed a smug smile.
She's happy as long as Qin Shi is unhappy.
Although she might not be able to marry into the Prince An's household, she knew that the Prince An probably wouldn't be willing to marry her.
"Sister-in-law, you've really managed a good household. Qing Shi, a child, came to stay with us for a few days for the first time, but he suffered terribly in our Zhou family. Now, his life is still uncertain. I wonder if our Zhou family will even see the sun tomorrow if Brother-in-law An finds out about Qing Shi's whereabouts." Zhou Yuying said to Qin Shi with a sarcastic look.
"Zhou Yuying, stop gloating. Do you think you still have a chance to marry into the Prince An's mansion after Xu Qingshi's accident?" Qin Shi retorted angrily after being provoked by Zhou Yuying.
At the Prince An's residence, Xu Heming was processing some official documents.
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The young master is in trouble! Mo Yu and Ru Feng were carried back!" Liu Ming rushed into the study and shouted.
Upon hearing this, Xu Heming looked up at Liu Ming, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
