Chapter 313
Zhou Changfeng was stumped by Xu Heming's question.
He couldn't very well go back and say that it wasn't his own son who died, could he?
But even when he offered words of comfort, he felt they were somewhat insincere.
However, considering that Xu Qingshi died in the Zhou family, no matter how you look at it, the Zhou family is still involved.
Even if he wanted to pretend this didn't exist, he had no reason to, since he had personally brought the person back.
Most importantly, he felt guilty. If it weren't for that idiot Qin Shi placing him in this dilapidated little courtyard of Tingyun Courtyard, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Thinking of this, Zhou Changfeng felt extremely regretful.
"Brother-in-law, in this matter, our Zhou family has wronged you and Qingshi." After thinking it over, Zhou Changfeng realized that these were the most appropriate words he could say at the moment.
He admitted his mistake, so he shouldn't have done anything wrong, right?
"Sorry? If being sorry is useful, can you return Qing Shi to me?" Xu Heming looked at Zhou Changfeng with a sinister gaze. At this moment, he wished he could tear this despicable Zhou Changfeng into eight pieces.
If he hadn't said that the Zhou family missed their child, and if Xu Qingshi hadn't overheard him saying that, why would he have made the child go through this ordeal?
He never expected that Xu Qingshi's visit to the Zhou family wasn't for a short stay, but rather to his death!
"Is this what Young Master Zhou meant by wanting children? Your Zhou family's method of wanting children is truly unique. You actually burned your child alive in your Zhou family. Is this your Zhou family's idea of wanting children? Fortunately, your Zhou family doesn't have many children, otherwise, with such an idea, I'm afraid no one would dare to marry a daughter of your Zhou family, right?" Xu Heming looked at Zhou Changfeng and said mercilessly.
After all, the Zhou family has three daughters, and the former princess is the eldest.
The second daughter, Zhou Yuzhen, married Xiang, a physician at the Imperial Medical Academy in the capital. Unfortunately, Zhou Yuzhen has not been able to give birth to any children for Xiang Bai.
As for the third daughter, Zhou Yuying, she is still in the mansion and has not yet married. As for the other male members of the Zhou family, apart from Zhou Changfeng who has an eldest son, the other two are also not yet married.
Besides Xu Qingshi, the only other member of the Zhou family is Zhou Xingzhi, who fought with Xu Qingshi.
Upon hearing Xu Heming's words, Zhou Changfeng's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He knew that Xu Heming was upset about losing his child, but what Xu Heming said was really too harsh.
"Your Highness, we haven't found the young master in these ruins." Soon, a guard came in to report.
"It's my fault, I didn't take good care of Qingshi." Zhou Changfeng, who originally wanted to argue with Xu Heming, suddenly dared not say anything more.
If the child can't be found, could he have been burned to ashes?
Thinking about this, Zhou Changfeng felt a lingering fear.
“Brother-in-law, perhaps my sister missed Qingshi so much that she couldn’t wait to take him away,” Zhou Yuying said as she walked over, wiping away a faint tear.
Thinking to herself, Xu Qingshi's death cannot be blamed on the Zhou family, otherwise, her marriage will be in trouble.
After all, even if she couldn't marry Prince An, she still hoped that she could marry into a good family.
Unfortunately, Xu Qingshi died in their mansion at this very moment.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuying felt extremely resentful. She thought to herself, "If I had known, I would have strangled him when he was born. Keeping him alive would only bring trouble, just like his mother who died young."
Anyway, her older sister is gone, so if we pin these things on her, how can she possibly cause her any trouble?
After thinking it through, Zhou Yuying cried even louder.
She was determined to pin this crime firmly on Zhou Yuxin's head.
"Your eldest sister has a sudden change of heart? Only you would use such an excuse, right? All these years, your eldest sister has been gone, Zhou Yuying, can you sleep peacefully? Aren't you afraid that your eldest sister will come to take your life in the middle of the night?" Xu Heming looked at Zhou Yuying with icy eyes.
