Upon hearing this, Zhou Changfeng choked. What the Zhou family wanted was not just a visit.
What they want is control of the Prince An's mansion.
Xu Qingshi is the heir apparent, and the Prince An's mansion will eventually fall into his hands. However, now that Li Zhiwei is about to enter the family, what if Xu Heming favors the son born to Li Zhiwei and wants him to inherit the mansion?
Moreover, Xu Qingshi is not close to the Zhou family nowadays.
Seeing that Xu Heming was about to marry someone else, the Zhou family couldn't help but get anxious.
“Brother-in-law, what we mean is that you should marry Yu Ying. After all, Yu Ying is Qing Shi’s aunt, and she will definitely protect Qing Shi.” Zhou Changfeng looked at Xu Heming and said somewhat ingratiatingly.
"What, so you want me to marry your Zhou family's daughter who can't find a husband? My marriage to Miss Li is a marriage bestowed by His Majesty. Disobeying the imperial decree is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family. Isn't the Zhou family also within my nine generations of family?" Xu Heming said sarcastically to Zhou Changfeng.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Changfeng felt both ashamed and embarrassed. It was truly unpleasant for Xu Heming to say that his younger sister was an unwanted girl.
“Brother-in-law, we didn’t mean for you to disobey the imperial decree. If it really doesn’t work out, we can let Yu Ying be a concubine.” When Zhou Changfeng heard Xu Heming’s words, he realized that Xu Heming was clearly unwilling to marry Zhou Yu Ying. He also thought that if he didn’t marry Li Zhiwei, the Zhou family would also be doomed if their entire clan was exterminated.
He then thought that he should make Zhou Yuying a concubine. In the future, as long as Xu Qingshi gets close to Zhou Yuying, the Anwang Mansion will be under the control of the Zhou family.
"Ha, what makes you think I'll listen to you?" Xu Heming thought that the Zhou family was really cunning.
“Your Highness Prince An, Qing Shi is, after all, the only bloodline left by my sister in this world. There’s nothing wrong with us not trusting outsiders,” Zhou Changfeng said, his fists clenched and his face filled with righteous indignation.
“Since outsiders are worried, you can take him back to the Zhou family.” Xu Heming knew that they definitely wouldn’t really want to take Xu Qingshi back to raise him.
After all, if Xu Qingshi went to the Zhou family, everything in the Prince An's mansion would have nothing to do with him anymore.
"What, you're unwilling? Didn't you just say you didn't trust outsiders? What, you family members aren't willing to raise your good sister to adulthood?" Xu Heming looked at Zhou Changfeng, whose face was not looking good, and couldn't help but speak sarcastically again.
“Your Highness, Qing Shi is, after all, the heir of the Prince An’s mansion. Wouldn’t it be a disservice to him to go to our Zhou family?” Zhou Changfeng said somewhat timidly.
He thought to himself, "Who wants to raise his child?"
It's not like the Zhou family doesn't have children to raise.
If that child turns around and tries to claim the Zhou family's property, who will he cry to then?
“I don’t mind letting him become a child of your Zhou family. After I get married, there will definitely be other children in the Prince An’s Mansion.” Xu Heming looked at Zhou Changfeng and said, word by word.
Zhou Changfeng's expression immediately turned sour.
This is not the outcome they wanted.
Seeing Zhou Changfeng's worsening complexion, Xu Heming felt a little better.
The Zhou family is still a long way from trying to scheme against me.
Just as Zhou Changfeng was about to leave in a smug mood, he saw Xu Qingshi and Li Zhiwei standing not far away, their faces looking rather unwell.
Seeing Xu Qingshi looking at him with red eyes, Xu Heming's heart skipped a beat.
He had a bad feeling that his son might have overheard his words about expedient measures.
Li Zhiwei was also surprised that Xu Heming would say such a thing, and for a moment she didn't know what to say to comfort Xu Qingshi.
"Father, don't worry, I'll go back and pack my things and move to the Zhou family right away." Xu Qingshi couldn't help but shed tears at the thought of going to that hateful Zhou family.
