Chapter Twenty-Two
"No, where are you going? Why are you sending me away?" Xu Qingshi complained.
"Young Master, let's hurry back." Mo Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself, "This little brat really dares to say anything."
"No, I'm going to find my stepmother." Xu Qingshi crossed his arms and looked at the spot where Xu Heming had disappeared. He had a feeling that his father must have gone out to do something bad with so much money.
Li Zhiwei simply stood by the window, looking outside, remaining silent.
"Miss, is there some trouble?" Cuiguo asked Li Zhiwei with concern.
He wondered, could it be that the Lin family wants Miss to go back?
Thinking about what the Lin family had done, Cuiguo was furious.
Since he has no intention of marrying his young lady, why bother proposing to the Li family? His young lady's bridal sedan chair is already at the door, yet he's acting all high and mighty.
"It's nothing." Li Zhiwei was just thinking to herself, by now, her father should have received her letter, right?
Thinking of her mother's health, Li Zhiwei was really worried that her mother would be upset because of this.
However, given the Li family's current situation, she has no choice but to do so.
Thinking about the ending of her previous life, Li Zhiwei felt suffocated.
In this life, now that she hasn't married into the Lin family, has that already changed the ending of her previous life?
This time, hopefully, my parents won't die a tragic death again.
She has now donated most of the Li family's fortune to the imperial court.
The Li family had become quite well-known to the Emperor.
It won't be so easy for the Lin family to deal with the Li family.
Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young Master, His Highness wants you to return to Liangqi Courtyard," Mo Yu said with a worried expression, following behind Xu Qingshi.
"Bride!" Xu Qingshi ignored Mo Yu and instead shouted into the courtyard.
"Young Master, what brings you here?" Li Zhiwei was taken aback when she heard Xu Qingshi's voice, then smiled and came out to greet him.
“I say, stepmother, how can you be so useless?” Xu Qingshi said, looking at Li Zhiwei with a dissatisfied expression.
"Huh?" Li Zhiwei was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure how to respond to the child.
Looking at Xu Qingshi's serious expression, Li Zhiwei inexplicably felt like laughing.
"Young Master, what do you mean by that?" Li Zhi asked with a smile as he squatted down and looked at Xu Qingshi.
Seeing Li Zhiwei squat down, Xu Qingshi looked at her triumphantly, finally no longer having to look up at people.
"Tell me, how could you be so useless? You just married into the royal family, and your dowry has been completely taken away. My father told you to hand over your dowry, and you didn't keep a single thing." Xu Qingshi rubbed Li Zhiwei's forehead with his hand, feeling disappointed in her.
The people in the courtyard were taken aback at first, but then they couldn't help but chuckle.
"Young Master, you misunderstand. I handed over those things voluntarily, and it has nothing to do with Your Highness," Li Zhiwei said with a smile, hearing the concern in Xu Qingshi's words.
"Then why don't you leave some for yourself?" Xu Qingshi said again, acting like a little adult.
"It's alright, we can earn more if we lose those things," Li Zhiwei added to herself. What use is money if you're dead?
If it can protect the Li family, what do these things matter?
"You're something else, let's go!" Seeing Li Zhiwei's expression, Xu Qingshi wanted to take her to the storeroom to see the things he had left for her.
