Oh, and his mistress too.
"Father, did you bring any money?" Zhu Hanyu was happy to see that Zhu Jingchen had actually come.
Thinking that Zhu Jingchen wasn't wearing the dragon robe at the moment, he cleverly called him "Father".
"Don't worry, there will be plenty of silver notes." Zhu Jingchen patted his son's head, thinking to himself, "This kid probably doesn't have the guts to set a fire."
However, he was wondering how the fire started.
"Have you asked why the fire started in this courtyard? Or did it start as soon as Qing Shi moved in?" Zhu Jingchen asked as he walked.
"This courtyard was originally an abandoned old courtyard. The Zhou family settled Qingshi here. It had fallen into disrepair over the years. Qingshi and his companions spent an afternoon cleaning the courtyard. His servants went to the kitchen to ask for food, but were refused. The servant assigned to him was beaten with a board, and the other two, along with Qingshi, disappeared without a trace." Xu Heming recounted the whole story in a somber mood.
"That's Zhou Zhonghe! Is this how he treats his own nephew? Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. How could they do such a thing?" Zhu Jingchen was furious upon hearing this.
Xu Qingshi was, after all, Zhou's nephew, yet they not only gave him a dilapidated courtyard to live in, but also made him clean it himself.
When has that little Xu Qingshi ever suffered like this?
"Where is Zhou Zhonghe, that old scoundrel?" Zhu Jingchen asked with dissatisfaction.
"I haven't seen him since I arrived, but I did see the old lady, who mistook the Third Prince for Qing Shi," Xu Qing Shi said with a hint of sarcasm.
"So, he said that his mistress burned down his yard and asked me to pay compensation?" Zhu Jingchen finally understood that his mistress had also summoned him to avenge Xu Qingshi.
That old bastard Xu Heming is probably deliberately using his mistress to get me to punish the Zhou family.
The Zhou family's behavior is indeed outrageous.
Xu Heming remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement with the meaning behind Zhu Jingchen's words.
"You are indeed trying to use me in this matter, but don't worry, I'm on your side," Zhu Jingchen said, patting Xu Heming lightly.
However, considering that Xu Heming actually sent Azhiwei to the Zhou family just to make her happy, one can't help but think that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman!
"Your Highness." Zhou Changfeng had just come out of Madam Zhou's courtyard when he saw a man standing next to Xu Heming, who looked quite imposing.
They were still a little puzzled as to why Prince An always brought strange men to their place.
However, he didn't dare say no.
However, he didn't understand why Prince An had come to see his mother again.
"Is this Zhou Zhonghe's eldest son?" Zhu Jingchen looked Zhou Changfeng up and down, clicked his tongue twice, and said nothing more.
"Yes, it was Zhou's wife who sent Qingshi to stay in that dilapidated courtyard," Xu Heming said with a half-smile.
"He's someone who doesn't know his place," Zhu Jingchen concluded.
Zhou Changfeng's lips twitched as he stood to the side, thinking to himself, "He's still standing here."
Even if they want to humble themselves, at least wait until I'm not around to say it, okay?
However, Zhou Changfeng had his opinions, but he didn't dare to voice them.
After all, Xu Heming was already dissatisfied with the Zhou family enough. This person was his friend, so he should treat him well and not offend him.
After all, the Zhou family's reputation will likely be ruined after today. He has already sent someone to deliver a message to his father, but he doesn't know when his father will be able to return. After all, he is finding it quite difficult to deal with Prince An.
When Zhou Changfeng saw Xu Heming about to enter his mother's courtyard, he had no choice but to follow him.
He was afraid that if the old lady got angry, Xu Heming might punish her directly. He really couldn't argue with her.
Grandma Zhou was already feeling a bit guilty, and now, when she saw Xu Heming leading a dignified man in, she was taken aback. Then, she thought, "Could this man be the one that person brought to pay compensation?"
