"What did my father do?" Liu Ruyi asked, looking at Liu Shi with dissatisfaction.
"He embezzled a large sum of money, and Prince An found out! Waaah..." After saying this, Lady Lou started to sob.
"How much?" Liu Ruyan asked coldly.
"There's a whole room full of gold, and I don't even know how much it is!" Madam Lou shook her head in grievance. She had no idea how the gold ended up in the mansion.
Now, however, we have to suffer along with them!
Liu Ruyan stumbled. Having lived in the palace for several years, she couldn't possibly be unaware of how embezzlement was punished—the larger the amount embezzled, the heavier the sentence.
A room full of gold, how much silver must one have embezzled to be enough?
The Liu family is now completely finished!
"Who do you think discovered it?" Liu Ruyan suddenly asked, looking at Lou Shi.
"It's Prince An! Your father even sent people to kidnap Prince An's son!"
Lou's words made Liu Ruyan laugh in anger again; they really were father and son, thinking the same thing.
Now, it's probably just a matter of the victors taking all.
After returning from the Wei family, Li Zhiwei had a dark expression and did not respond no matter how Xu Qingshi called him.
"Mother, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Xu Qingshi felt a little uneasy looking at Li Zhiwei like this.
He didn't want Li Zhiwei to be angry.
"Stand still!" Li Zhiwei said coldly, which was still somewhat intimidating.
Xu Qingshi stood obediently, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect this stepmother to get angry."
It's kind of scary.
"Tell me honestly, does Young Master Wei really like the Four Treasures of the Study and those books?" Li Zhiwei asked Xu Qingshi with dissatisfaction.
"No!" Xu Qingshi didn't expect Li Zhiwei to find out about this so quickly.
Thinking back to what Wei Herui and Li Zhiwei had said to each other alone at the Wei residence today.
It must have been Wei Herui, that tattletale, who complained to his stepmother.
"Then why did you lie to your mother?" Li Zhiwei wasn't worried about the few coins, but she felt that it was wrong for a child to lie.
Although Xu Qingshi is not her child, he is now by her side, and in the future, he may become her stepson. Li Zhiwei feels that she has an obligation to teach him well.
We can't let him go astray and become a bad child.
"Mother, I was wrong. I just wanted to play a trick on Wei Herui. I didn't mean for you to spend money." Xu Qingshi was a little scared, thinking that Li Zhiwei was unhappy because she had spent more money.
"Am I worried about spending a few coins?" Li Zhiwei suddenly realized that educating a child well is not an easy task, especially now that her role is somewhat awkward.
Even if she married Xu Heming, she shouldn't be the one to teach Xu Qingshi.
“I think lying is a bad habit. Only bad kids like to lie. Our Qing Shi isn’t a bad kid, right?” Li Zhiwei noticed Xu Qing Shi’s frightened expression and softened her tone, looking at Xu Qing Shi cautiously as she spoke.
"Mother, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again next time. Will you still like me if I do that?" Xu Qingshi really wanted a mother. Li Zhiwei had protected him several times.
It gave him the feeling of having a mother, and at this moment, he was very afraid that Li Zhiwei would abandon him.
"Don't worry, a child who knows his mistakes and can correct them is a good child!" Li Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the child bravely admit his mistakes.
Just as Li Zhiwei was about to say something to Xu Qingshi, she saw Li Tianyou and Xu Heming return together.
However, the expressions on their faces were somewhat serious.
"What happened?" Li Zhiwei asked the two of them, puzzled.
