Liu Yingxue was in the room picking up the clothes and accessories she would wear tomorrow. Her usual gentle and elegant look was no longer there. There was only coldness in her eyes, which added a bit of coldness to her originally beautiful face.
The maids in the house who were busy with the affairs at hand were all silent and did not dare to speak out. No matter how friendly their ladies were on weekdays, in reality, only the maids who served them knew best. If you are not careful, you may end up with a fate worse than death.
At this time, Liu Yingxue was obviously in a bad mood, so the maidservants who served her were even more cautious in their movements, for fear of attracting the attention and dissatisfaction of their own ladies and causing trouble for themselves.
Looking at the several sets of elegant or delicate expensive dresses in front of her, Liu Yingxue's face was not happy at all, because she had not seen Wu Zechen for several days! Even if she took the initiative to invite them, they were all rejected. This had never happened before!
Although Wu Zechen was cold and cold in the past, he didn't always accept invitations, and he didn't reply to every letter he wrote, but he wasn't like now, as if he was deliberately missing him!
She believed in her intuition. Wu Zechen had been deliberately avoiding her recently, and all of this must have something to do with the Xia family daughter who was newly married into the palace! Because according to her long-term investigation, apart from this matter, there is no other person or thing that can affect the relationship between herself and Wu Zechen!
Liu Yingxue's eyes were even colder, and a sinister look flashed across her face.
Why isn’t this bitch of the Xia family still dead? ?
Tomorrow, the daughter of the Xia family was going back to the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Rites to visit her relatives. Mrs. Li, the minister's wife, invited her to attend the banquet. She wanted to see what the daughter of the Xia family looked like! What's more, I can still see Wu Zechen...
Just as I was thinking about it, a maid suddenly came to report from outside: The young master is here.
The eldest young master of the Liu family in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and Liu Yingxue's biological brother is none other than Liu Zimo, one of the two heroes in the capital.
"What are you doing here?" Liu Yingxue looked at Liu Zimo who stepped in the door with a cold tone. Looking at this brother who was born from the same mother, there was no hint of intimacy on his face, but only indifference.
As soon as he entered the door, he was met with such a cold attitude towards his sister-in-law. Liu Zimo didn't seem to care at all. He still had the warm smile of the past on his face. He glanced at the various clothes hanging in a row on the shelf beside him. There was a flash of understanding, but the answer was unexpected: "You are picking out clothes? But you are going out to a banquet?"
A hint of impatience flashed across Liu Yingxue's brows. She looked directly at Liu Zimo and said straight to the point: "Yes. What are you here for? Just tell me."
She knew very well that her brother would not step into her yard if nothing happened. If nothing happened between them, they would not visit each other to get close to each other on weekdays, unlike other brothers and sisters.
Liu Zimo didn't care about his sister's indifference, and still maintained the gentle look that had remained unchanged for thousands of years: "It's tomorrow's wedding banquet for the Xia family of the Minister of Rites, right? Did Mrs. Li invite you to it?"
"So what?" Liu Yingxue asked quietly, not knowing what kind of medicine Liu Zimo Gourd sold.
"Do you like Wu Zechen and want to marry him?" Liu Zimo asked again.
"What do you want?" Liu Yingxue asked coldly, frowning.
Liu Yingxue neither admitted nor denied it. Liu Zimo looked at her expression and understood clearly in his heart. The smile on his lips widened a little, and he suddenly said: "Tomorrow's Xia Mansion banquet, you'd better not go."
"Can you control me?" Liu Yingxue suddenly put down the tea cup in her hand, her tone completely displeased.
"You must know very well what you want to do when you go to Xia Mansion tomorrow, but have you ever considered whether Wu Zechen will be displeased if you do this?" Liu Zimo still had a smile on his face, but what he said was slightly different. Not gentle either.
The Liu family members all know who each other is, so there is nothing to hide.
Liu Yingxue didn't feel angry when Liu Zimo exposed her thoughts. Instead, she paused because of his words, frowned and started thinking.
Liu Zimo smiled and continued: "Li's invitation to you is nothing more than to embarrass Wu Zechen and his princess. It would be better if you could make some noise and get her eldest daughter out of nowhere. With regard to the substitute marriage, it can already be seen that Xia Mansion does not want to marry Prince An Mansion at all, this is clearly an enmity."
"In recent days, Xia Zhihe has been pressing Wu Zechen step by step in the court. He said that Wu Zechen abused his daughter. Today Wu Zechen personally took the Xia family's daughter back to visit the family in order to retaliate against Xia Zhihe's remarks. So tomorrow he will tell Wu Zechen It's still very important." Liu Zimo didn't care what Liu Yingxue's reaction was, and just continued, "The gossip about you and Wu Zechen has spread all over the capital. If you show up at the provincial banquet of Xia Mansion, you will be in trouble. Do you think Wu Zechen will be happy if he causes trouble?"
After Liu Zimo said this, Liu Yingxue thought about it. She had neglected this point before. She didn't want to hinder Wu Zechen and make him unhappy.
However, she had not seen Wu Zechen for several days since the last time they parted on the boat. Although letters could still be sent to the palace, she had only received one reply so many times, and the content of the letter only contained a few sentences. It seemed so perfunctory, how could she not be anxious and irritated?
Otherwise, she would not have made such an omission and wanted to see him in such a hurry.
Although Liu Yingxue had figured this out, no matter how anxious she was, she could only be patient for the time being, but...
"Why are you so kind to remind me of this?" She looked at Liu Zimo, her eyes full of suspicion.
Based on the weak relationship between their brother and sister, she didn't believe that her brother would suddenly care about her. If that was the case, there must be something up his sleeve.
Sure enough, Liu Zimo raised a smile and said without any warmth of family affection: "Of course it's not for you, I have my own plans, but as long as you know one thing, it's enough that I approve of you and Wu Zechen being together. And I will also take action to promote your good deeds when necessary."
Liu Zimo was not going to tell Liu Yingxue that the truth was that he was thinking about Princess An himself, so he planned to help her get together with Prince An Wu Zechen.
Based on his understanding of Liu Yingxue, if this sister knew about this, if she could achieve her own goal one day, she would definitely take action against him without hesitation, and stabbing him in the back would be easy. He would not Hope something happens to his kitten.
When Liu Yingxue heard what Liu Zimo said, she actually believed him. At least he was definitely planning something, and it certainly wasn't for her own good anyway. She just thought he had some other plan, but she still said it casually out of curiosity. He asked: "Why do you want me to be with Prince An?"
