"I hope the old princess gets well soon," Li Zhiwei replied gently.
As for the old princess and Granny Luo's implied urging for marriage, Li Zhiwei did not respond.
Seeing Li Zhiwei's expression, the old princess's heart sank to the bottom. It seemed that the girl did not want to marry her blockhead son. Otherwise, they would not have been engaged for so long and the two were of similar age. Why had they not been able to set a wedding date?
Thinking of this, the old princess was annoyed with herself for her son's lack of ambition.
"Sigh, Qingshi hasn't been seen lately either. His father is unreliable, and with my health, there's nothing I can do." The old princess felt a pang of sadness thinking of her only grandson.
Xu Qingshi was always nowhere to be found, which made the old princess even more distressed.
I can't see my son, and I can't see my grandson.
“Your Highness, Qing Shi is at the age where he loves to play. Perhaps something has attracted him. He will definitely come looking for you later.” Li Zhiwei was taken aback at first. If she didn’t know better, she would have thought that the old princess had discovered something and was deliberately trying to trick her into saying something.
However, Li Zhiwei quickly found an excuse to cover it up.
Otherwise, she was worried that the old princess would not be able to bear the news of Xu Qingshi's repeated disappearances.
"I think they just think I'm too old. One by one, they don't want to talk to this old woman anymore," the old princess said, still somewhat unhappy.
"Your Highness, it's not like that. Qing Shi's favorite person was your grandmother," Li Zhiwei quickly reassured her.
She also hoped that Xu Qingshi and her father could be found soon.
Things have long since deviated from the course of her previous life, and she doesn't know who kidnapped her father and Xu Qingshi.
Even if she were given a second chance, she still wouldn't be able to save her father and Xu Qingshi.
“You are a good child. Qingshi is also a child with a bad fate, having such a father. From now on, Qingshi will be entrusted to you.” The old princess said, patting Li Zhiwei’s hand.
This startled Li Zhiwei; why did she have the feeling that the old princess had entrusted her with an important task?
Also, what did the old princess find out?
Or was she deliberately saying this to pressure me into marriage?
"Your Highness, I am young and don't understand many things. Qing Shi and I still have a lot to learn from you," Li Zhiwei said, feigning embarrassment.
"Your Highness, when the Princess enters the manor in the future, you will surely need to give her some guidance," said Granny Luo with a smile.

Hearing voices outside, Li Tianyou quickly opened his eyes.
It seems that someone really did deliberately capture them.
"Go check if he's awake yet," Zhou Zuo said to the servant beside him.
Thinking to himself, he would take that brat to see the prince later.
Upon hearing this, Li Tianyou was startled and wanted to continue pretending to be asleep, but he was also worried about Xu Qingshi.
Li Tianyou gently nudged Xu Qingshi: "Qingshi, wake up, someone's coming."
"Hmm?" Although Xu Qingshi had slept in Li Tianyou's arms all night, he was still a little uncomfortable. After all, he had never suffered like this before.
"Shh, don't talk. Someone's coming from outside. Let's pretend to be asleep for now and be careful," Li Tianyou quickly covered Xu Qingshi's mouth and whispered.
At this moment, he had no time to worry about whether Xu Qingshi could understand him.
Perhaps, Xu Qingshi might be afraid if he knew there were people outside.
