“I’ve looked everywhere, there’s no one here,” Qingchuan said with absolute certainty.
On the other side, Xu Qingshi sat on the hilltop, quietly watching the burning Tingyun Courtyard.
I can't quite describe how I feel.
"Young Master, shall we return to the Prince's residence? I'm sure the Prince is getting impatient." Qingyuan said with some concern, looking at Xu Qingshi who was sitting quietly without saying a word.
Xu Qingshi shook his head. His father didn't want him anymore, so he didn't want to go back.
But he could no longer return to the Zhou family, and the Prince An's Mansion no longer wanted him. Where could he go?
Thinking back to that time, Li Zhiwei said that if he was unhappy staying at the Zhou family, he could go to the Li family to find her.
"Let's go somewhere." Xu Qingshi stood up; he already knew where he could go.
He's going to Li'an County!
Didn't Li Zhiwei say that he could go to see her?
He doesn't want to stay in the capital now; he thinks that going to Li'an County might be a good option.
After all, Li'an County was where Li Zhiwei had grown up, and Steward Zhou would definitely welcome her there.
"Young Master, if we leave like this, His Highness will worry." Qingyuan said with a frown, thinking to himself, where does my young master intend to go?
If Your Highness thinks that the young master died in the fire, wouldn't you be heartbroken for nothing?
“He won’t worry. If he really cared about me, why would he send me to the Zhou family? He knows I don’t like the Zhou family. Besides, look, how could the Zhou family possibly treat me well? They probably want me dead! Come on, but you can’t secretly write him a letter! Otherwise, you can go back to the Prince An’s mansion.” Xu Qingshi said to Qingyuan with a warning look on his face.
"What are you saying, Your Highness? Wherever Your Highness goes, I will go!" Qingyuan replied without hesitation.
"And this servant, wherever the young master goes, this servant will follow you too~" Ru Song quickly added.
Xu Qingshi dusted off the dust that was no longer on his body and headed towards Li'an County.
Qingyuan secretly left a mark and hurriedly followed, thinking that he would deliver the message to the prince when they arrived at their destination.
However, Qingyuan couldn't understand why the prince, who clearly cared about the heir, insisted on sending the heir back to the Zhou family.
Those people from the Zhou family clearly had ill intentions; otherwise, the burning of Tingyun Courtyard wouldn't have happened.
Zhou family
By the time the Zhou family discovered that Tingyun Courtyard was on fire, it had already been burned down.
At first, no one paid much attention, but when Zhou Changfeng found out that Xu Qingshi had been placed in Tingyun Courtyard, he was practically going crazy.
"Didn't I tell you to settle the people properly?" Zhou Changfeng said, looking at Qin Shi with great dissatisfaction.
"How could I not have made any arrangements? Didn't I arrange for him to stay at Tingyun Courtyard? Who knew that Tingyun Courtyard would catch fire?" Madam Qin was very dissatisfied. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her arrangements.
Moreover, why did the Tingyun Courtyard never catch fire before? It only caught fire as soon as Xu Qingshi moved in. In her opinion, Xu Qingshi must be a jinx!
"Does our Zhou family not have a courtyard? Why do you insist on placing people in that courtyard?" Zhou Changfeng angrily pointed at Qin's nose and cursed.
"He's nothing but a burden who's come to our household to live under someone else's roof. I'm already doing him a favor by letting him stay. Do you expect me to put him in the main courtyard?" Madam Qin didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did. Besides, she had given him a place to stay.
“Sister-in-law, that’s my eldest sister’s child. How could you place him in a desolate place like Tingyun Courtyard? What are you thinking? Tingyun Courtyard is uninhabitable!” Zhou Yuying said with great dissatisfaction.
In her opinion, Qin Shi couldn't stand to see her doing well, which was why she placed her in a place like Tingyun Courtyard.
Xu Qingshi is the heir of the Prince An's mansion, and he has been pampered since childhood. How could he possibly live in a place like Tingyun Courtyard?
Not to mention Xu Qingshi looking down on her, even she wouldn't be willing.
Besides, my sister-in-law was probably just sent to that courtyard, right?
They didn't even send anyone to tidy up the yard. How can anyone live there?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuying glanced at Qin Shi with dissatisfaction.
