Xia Houting was in a good mood.
Princess Changying, who had been waiting for eight years, was finally going to marry her.
Thinking of Cao Ying's beautiful face and graceful figure, his mouth almost watered. What's more, the glory and power she represents behind her?
With Cao Ying, not only will she gain a peerless beauty, but she will also gain an irreplaceable status. The position of the heir to the Xiahou clan has been stable since then.
Not to mention other brothers, no one can do anything to him even if the aunt who has just entered the house and is loved by thousands of people has ten or eight children.
The only thing that bothered him was that there had been rumors from the outside world that Princess Changying had some unexplainable relationship with King Xiaoyao of Qin. After all, countless people saw King Xiaoyao holding Cao Ying while racing in the street.
This incident almost made him go crazy at first, not only because of the feeling of being a cuckold, but more importantly, if he could not get Cao Ying, the loss would be too great.
For this reason, after that incident, he secretly made great efforts to spread the news, trying to show that he was just in a hurry to save the princess that day.
Not only that, he also spread the word that there was discord between Qin and Wei, and that there was absolutely no chance that the two would wait.
In fact, it played a big role, but the people of Wei felt more regretful.
Many people hope that this goddess who protects the country and is loved by the people as a treasure can marry King Xiaoyao. The two of them are so talented and beautiful, so well matched. Of course, many people believe that this can ease the relationship between Qin and Wei.
Naturally, these will inevitably make Xiahou stop holding back his anger.
Now, although King Wei and the princess agreed to this matter, he still felt awkward in his heart. He thought about it and struggled for a long time. He always felt that after all, Jiang Fan was just a fisherman with no background. How capable could he be? It was very likely that the empress admired his literary talent, so she finally couldn't help but send someone to secretly assassinate Jiang Fan while he was in Xia Kingdom.
But after just a brief trial, he gave up the idea in horror. The water in Xiaoyao Wang is too deep to reach the bottom.
Therefore, although he did this matter secretly, he was still uneasy for a long time. Fortunately, no one has bothered me until today, and it seems that I have not been exposed.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and gained beauty and status at the same time. Xia Houting was so happy that he went crazy.
Therefore, for the first time, the eldest son of Xiahou, who was always willing to spend money, rewarded everyone in the house with a lot of money.
He even made a special trip to visit the eighth aunt who had just entered the mansion.
Because as far as he knew, the reason why the old man worked so hard this time was because the aunt said a lot of nice things behind his back.
This surprised Xiahou Ting. You must know that everyone including him was very resistant to this person at first.
I never expected that this aunt would be very helpful. Therefore, he also generously gave Ba Yiniang a large cart of gifts, and she also treated him to a meal, and everyone was happy.
For him whose mother died young, gaining the friendship of this much-loved aunt is also a big gain.
The proud Xia Hou was drinking and having fun with a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe.
"Congratulations, eldest son."
The middle-aged man cupped his hands and said.
"Haha... Come, come, thanks to my husband's idea to urge the marriage at this juncture, I got my wish. Come, come and drink!"
The middle-aged man also said happily: "Now that the wedding date has been decided, the third day of next month is the master's wedding day. I will drink the master's wedding wine in advance."
"Hahaha, good, I will definitely be rewarded when the time comes!"
While he was feeling happy, a servant suddenly ran in with a panicked expression.
"Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Master, something happened!"
Xia Houting leaned on the recliner with his plump body: "What's all the fuss about?"
The servant's expression changed and he said: "...Eldest Young Master, I don't know who made up the news. Now there is something spreading outside, saying... saying..."
"What did you say?" Xia Houchun said impatiently.
The servant looked at him timidly: "Sir, you assassinated King Xiaoyao. The evidence is conclusive..."
"What?!" Xia Houchun trembled all over, and his fat body suddenly jumped up. He reached out and grabbed the man's collar.
"Where did you hear that?"
The servant stammered: "It is being spread everywhere now. Jian'an...Jian'an is almost spreading...many people are saying...all saying..."
"What are you talking about!" Xia Houting said angrily.
"It is said that the young master was jealous and resentful, and deliberately destroyed the relationship between Qin and Wei..."
Xia Houchun immediately became furious. It is understandable that he was jealous and resentful. What was going on with this deliberate destruction of the relationship between Qin and Wei?
When he asked loudly, the servant said tremblingly: "It is said that Wei State finally signed a friendly trade treaty with Da Qin and was able to withdraw the Western Army to fight against Jin Xia. But the Western Army belongs to Cao Zhang, and now Cao Gong's military exploits are shining, threatening the world. Commander's position, the young master's actions are... he deliberately annoys the Qin State so that the Western Army can withdraw and consolidate his position as commander..."
"What a fucking fart!"
Xiahou Ting's Qiqiao was filled with smoke, and he was so angry that he pushed the servant to the ground and kicked him violently.
The servant held his head and begged again and again: "Master, please spare your life. This is not what the villain said. I just gave you a message..."
"Send a message, send a message, send a bird message!"
After saying that, he picked up the wine flask and smashed it on his head and face. It wasn't until the man slowly became silent that he dropped the bloody wine flask with an angry groan.
The middle-aged man stepped forward and said: "Eldest Young Master, please calm down. Eldest Young Master, please calm down. There is something fishy about this matter."
Xia Houting said angrily: "This is pure nonsense, who is trying to frame me!"
The middle-aged man said: "I have never heard of this news before. It should have broken out suddenly, but it spread so quickly. It is obvious that someone is behind the scenes. We have to find the root cause, otherwise we will be very passive."
Xia Houting said anxiously: "I understand this, but you can tell me, who is the most likely?"
The middle-aged man pondered for a while and said: "My eldest son, if he can do such a thing, he must be extremely at odds with you. Think about it, who is most likely?"
Xiahou Ting walked back and forth, as restless as an ant on a hot pot.
"Discord, discord, discord with me..." He thought for a long time before saying, "There are many..."
The middle-aged man was also speechless: "Think about it, which one is the most likely?"
Xia Houting frowned and thought hard: "There are indeed two people, but they don't seem to look alike."
The middle-aged man said: "Then the other party is very likely to destroy the marriage. Think about it, who is most beneficial to this matter?"
Xia Houting said: "There are too many people who are beneficial, some are overt and some are covert, how can we guess!"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment: "If this is the case, we have to trace the source. Young Master...if I'm honest, have you...ever done this?"
Xia Houchun's face was gloomy and he was just pacing back and forth.
Looking at his state, the middle-aged man obviously already knew what he was doing. I couldn't help but sigh to myself, I was so confused, how could I do such a stupid thing?
No wonder people say that Xiahou Ting looks like a pig but is as stupid as a pig.
But as the proprietor of his own food and clothing, the middle-aged man could only curse in his heart, but still came up with a plan.
"My lord, this is not going to be easy... unless we can... create some evidence to prove that this news is false and is nonsense.
"Creating evidence?" Xia Houting frowned: "It's not easy. Those people are all charlatans and have very cunning ideas."
