They seemed determined not to give up until Li Tianyou revealed where he had been these past two days.
"No, you two should go do what you're supposed to do. What kind of behavior is this, standing around like this?" Li Tianyou said somewhat guiltily.
“Father, you still haven’t answered our questions. What have you been doing these past two days?” Li Zhiwei sighed. She knew her father was avoiding the question.
But they want an answer to this.
"My lord, if you have someone else outside, I am not the kind of person who would tolerate it, but you should never have kept it from me." After saying this, Madam Yao couldn't help but sob a few more times.
Li Zhiwei sighed, unsure how to comfort her overthinking mother.
She could only look at Li Tianyou with a hint of resentment.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you, okay?" Seeing the mother and daughter, Li Tianyou had no choice but to tell them about how Xu Qingshi had come to him for help.
After disguising themselves, Xu Qingshi and I successfully took what Xu Qingshi wanted from the Prince An's mansion. However, as soon as we left the mansion, we were kidnapped.
"Father, you said that you and Qingshi were kidnapped? Did you see what the kidnapper looked like?" Li Zhiwei asked, frowning.
“No, but I heard his voice. If I hear that person speak again, I will definitely be able to find him,” Li Tianyou said, frowning.
"Oh dear, I never imagined that the capital city would be so unsafe. I could be kidnapped right at my doorstep," Madam Yao said worriedly upon hearing this.
“Mother, Father’s situation was just an accident. But Father, did they know your and Qing Shi’s identities at the time?” Li Zhiwei asked again.
“They seem to have come for Xu Qingshi.” Li Tianyou thought for a moment before saying that, given his attire, people might have thought he was a servant of the Prince An’s mansion. But Xu Qingshi was disguised like that, so how did those people recognize him?
At this moment, Li Tianyou also realized that something was wrong.
"Does Prince An know about this?" Li Zhiwei sighed, feeling that such a difficult matter should be left to Xu Heming. She still needed to think carefully about her shop.
After all, Cheng Qingli has already given her the land deed, why doesn't she make good use of it?
As for collaborating with Cheng Qingli, Li Zhiwei felt afraid of being taken advantage of.
“I haven’t had a chance to talk to Prince An about this yet. But have you seen Prince An?” Li Tianyou thought for a moment, realizing that he hadn’t seen Xu Heming since he returned.
Li Zhiwei shook his head and added, "Perhaps the Emperor has something important to do that he needs to handle."
"Oh dear, sir, you've suffered a great deal. Let's not worry about these things for now. But Weiwei, the capital is so turbulent. If you have nothing to do, you shouldn't go out." Upon hearing this, Madam Yao said with some displeasure.
After all, in her view, as long as her daughter and husband were safe and sound, that was all that mattered.
In fact, she secretly felt that the capital was not as peaceful as Li'an County, and wondered if they should go back.
“Yes, Father, you should rest first. If anything happens, Prince An will definitely come looking for you,” Li Zhi said with a smile.
"Miss." Qingyue hurriedly walked in, looked at Li Zhiwei, and hesitated as if she wanted to say something.
"Father, you should rest first. Mother, you should let Father rest too." Li Zhiwei stood up and said to the two of them, then led Qingyue outside.
"What's wrong?" After leaving Li Tianyou's Mingyue Residence, Li Zhiwei frowned and asked Qingyue.
"Miss, Miss Cheng sent someone to tell you to be careful. The people from the Lan Huai Prince's Mansion have been wanting Qin Lou lately. I wonder what their purpose is," Qingyue said quickly.
"The Lan Huai Prince's Mansion wants Qin Lou?" Li Zhiwei was taken aback. The Lan Huai Prince's Mansion must be the one Huo Yunzhi married into, right? What do they want Qin Lou for?
Or is Huo Yunzhi deliberately targeting me?
