Chapter 256
"Your Highness, please prepare a generous gift. I will personally go to Prince An's residence to apologize to him!"
Prince Zhennan thought for a moment. He couldn't let Prince An harbor resentment towards him over this matter, otherwise, his impression on the Emperor would probably be even worse in the future.
"Yes!" Madam Qin was not surprised by this.
Moreover, Zhou Huilan has caused such a huge disaster. It would be troublesome if the Prince of Zhennan didn't go to apologize, since she is the one who will be living in the capital from now on.
"Your Highness, what about Huilan?" Consort Ru asked, looking at Prince Zhennan in disbelief.
"What can we do? Isn't she quite capable? She dares to be so arrogant as to extort money from the Prince of An's mansion. Then let her enjoy the consequences!" Prince Zhennan said mercilessly.
"Your Highness, you mustn't! Huilan has never suffered like this since she was a child!" Consort Ru was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that the Prince of Zhennan would simply ignore Zhou Huilan.
If even the Prince of Zhennan doesn't care, then wouldn't Zhou Huilan really be stuck in prison forever?
How can that be?
"Consort Ru, this matter is beyond the Prince's control. You should pack some clothes and send her to prison!" Qin Shi advised Consort Ru kindly, seeing her still nagging about saving Zhou Huilan.
"You're talking nonsense! Huilan did nothing wrong, so why should she be in jail? Is it because you can't stand us, mother and daughter, that you colluded with the Prince An's mansion to imprison my son?" Consort Ru asked Qin Shi with red eyes.
Qin frowned upon hearing this.
He thought to himself, "Has Consort Ru gone mad?"
Does she know what she's saying?
Did she collude with the Prince An's mansion?
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint my sister; I don't have that ability." Madam Qin sighed, then looked at Prince Zhennan and said, "Your Highness, I'll go and make preparations first. I heard that the old princess is seriously ill. In my dowry, there happens to be a hundred-year-old ginseng. I'll ask Your Highness to take it to Prince An's residence later to help the old princess recover."
Qin bowed to the Prince of Zhennan and then spoke gently.
"Your Highness is so kind!" Compared to the dignified and polite Qin Shi, and now, the madwoman Ru Consort, the Prince of Zhennan's heart leaned towards Qin Shi again. He thought that having such a wife was a great blessing for him.
"Guards, Consort Ru is tired. Send her back. Keep a close watch on her. Without my permission, she is not to step out of the courtyard!"
Seeing that Consort Ru was still crying and making a fuss, Prince Zhennan gave the order without thinking.
"Your Highness, no, Your Highness!" Consort Ru was dumbfounded. She never expected that not only had she failed to save her daughter, but she had also lost the prince's heart.
Prince An's Mansion
With red eyes, Xu Qingshi looked at the frail old princess and didn't dare to insist on going back to Li Zhiwei's home with her.
However, she was still very sad, and her pouting lips were so prominent that they could almost hold a small oil lamp.
The old princess hadn't seen her grandson in a long time, and was in a rare, very good mood.
The old princess also noticed Xu Qingshi's unhappiness.
However, she assumed he was upset because Xu Heming had just dragged him in, so she teased him with a smile, "Oh, what's wrong? The oil bottle is almost falling off!"
"Grandmother, do you think that a man like Father who doesn't understand romance will be unwanted in the future?" Xu Qingshi thought about how Li Zhiwei had married someone else, and wondered if his father would be unable to find a princess in the future.
Thinking about how he would become someone's son-in-law in the future, leaving his father alone in the mansion, wouldn't that be pitiful?
