Xia Zhilu has always been quite confident about her appearance. Even in a place like the capital where noble ladies gather, she thinks her appearance is excellent. But now when she saw Xia Luotong walking out of the carriage, she couldn't control herself. A strong feeling of jealousy arose on the ground, and even his expression almost became tense.
This damn country bastard! She is getting more and more beautiful!
The night Xia Luotong was first brought back to the Xia Mansion, that is, the night before her wedding, Xia Zhilu ran to see Xia Luotong out of curiosity and dissatisfaction. Although she was beautiful at the time, she could not hide her meanness and rusticity. There is no spirituality in Zhong Ye, and he is as dull as a puppet at the mercy of others. How can he be as dazzling as he is now? It’s hard to take your eyes away!
At that time, Xia Zhilu laughed at Xia Luotong when she saw him like that, and she felt extremely comfortable in her heart, because although this bastard suddenly appeared and took over the identity of her eldest daughter that she had used for sixteen years, she looked like that How can you compare with yourself? !
But who would have thought that today I would have to go to the gate of Xia Mansion in person to greet this bastard who appeared out of nowhere? It made her feel so ashamed!
However, what made Xia Zhilu jealous the most was Prince An Wu Zechen who stood next to Xia Luotong and "gently and considerately" helped Xia Luotong get out of the carriage!
Where is the rough, filthy, foul-smelling, bloodthirsty and cruel man we promised him? !
If her parents hadn't been telling her what an unbearable man Prince An Wu Zechen was every day, plus the rumors spreading wildly about how cruel and bloodthirsty Prince An was, how could she have agreed to let this country bastard take her place? Marry into the palace? Not only did she become the extremely noble Princess An, but she even took over the identity of her eldest daughter? !
Looking at the handsome, god-like man beside the carriage, the two emotions of jealousy and obsession intertwined crazily in Xia Zhilu's eyes, and she even stood there and forgot to move.
As soon as Xia Hongzhang took a step, he saw his sister beside him was still stunned. He couldn't help but frowned and called in a low voice: "Sister, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and say hello!"
Wu Zechengui was the only prince of the Zhou Dynasty. He was not only the grandson of the Queen Mother, but also a dignified Pingxi general with a large number of troops. He had been fighting on the frontier for more than ten years without a single defeat. His high prestige was not something that the two of them could take lightly.
Xia Hongzhang's call made Xia Zhilu come back to her senses instantly. Thinking that she had to go to greet that bastard, she was so angry that she almost wrung the handkerchief in her hands!
However, no matter how reluctant she was, she still had to follow Xia Hongzhang to greet Wu Zechen and Xia Luotong, and stood in front of them and bowed honestly.
Naturally, the polite matters were left to Xia Hongzhang, his legitimate son. Xia Zhilu glared at Xia Luotong with jealousy in her eyes, and when she turned to quietly look at Wu Zechen, her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably again.
It looks even more handsome up close...
The majestic aura around Prince An and the deep-set eyes all attracted Xia Zhilu. A blush crept onto her cheeks, making her whole mind uncontrollably affected by Prince An.
Xia Luotong on the side was paying attention to the so-called younger siblings, so Xia Zhilu's series of reactions naturally did not escape her eyes. Seeing the latter's intoxicated look, she couldn't help but feel amused.
It seems that my so-called younger sister has fallen in love with the cold-faced prince?
But this is normal. After all, with Wu Zechen's appearance, even she was stunned for a moment when they first met her, let alone Xia Zhilu? In addition, it was originally Xia Zhilu who was supposed to marry into Prince An's palace. Now that she has met the man who almost became her husband, it is hard not to be moved, right?
But my heart is still in my heart, it doesn’t matter if I want to hook up with you, as long as I don’t mess with myself, let Wu Zechen’s big piece of fat be left to all the ladies in the capital to fight for it, I just don’t know if I can win over the sweetheart of the cold-faced prince. Miss Liu?
Only Xia Luotong noticed Xia Zhilu's strangeness. Wu Zechen and Xia Hongzhang didn't pay much attention to her. They simply exchanged a few polite words and prepared to enter the mansion and went to the flower hall to sit down.
The foundation of Xia Mansion is still shallow, and she can only be regarded as a new rich in the capital. Mrs. Xia was originally just an ordinary widow in Anyuan Town. There is no way a tree could have the status it has today.
Therefore, everything in Xia Zhihe, even this mansion, can be said to be provided by the Li family.
The Xia Mansion occupies a small area, and the population is relatively simple. There are no collateral lines, and Xia Zhihe's concubines do not have many children, so the mansion is not very big, but it is decorated quite exquisitely, and the Li family is there. The government has worked hard to at least be worthy of Xia Zhihe, the second-rank official of the Ministry of Etiquette, and it will not be considered a loss of face when guests come to the house on weekdays.
Walking through the corridor, Xia Luotong looked at the scenery around her, with neither appreciation nor envy on her face, because in her heart, this place was not her home at all, and there were no relatives for her either.
In her opinion, even Zhuxuan, whom she had only been with for two months, was closer and more trustworthy than the Xia family.
The wealth of Xia Mansion has nothing to do with her. She will take back everything that is owed to her and what is due to her. She also disdains to worry about those that do not belong to her.
Xia Luotong walked calmly, but he didn't know that Wu Zechen beside him had calmly taken in all her reactions in his eyes.
It's not distrust, but simple curiosity, curious about how she views this group of blood relatives deep down in her heart. Is it just hatred on the surface, but actually there is hope in the heart? Or is it the same as him...?
However, along the way, looking at the wealth that should belong to her, her face was always calm, so calm that she didn't regard this place as her home at all, so calm that she didn't have the slightest expectation or attachment...
He felt that he probably understood.
There was an imperceptible smile in his eyes, and he suddenly had some expectations for today's banquet.
While Wu Zechen was secretly sizing up Xia Luotong, Xia Zhilu, who was one step behind, was also looking at the two people walking side by side in front of them.
The tall and handsome back filled her mind, and the handsome face kept flashing in front of her eyes. She just felt that she could no longer tolerate others in her eyes at this time.
However, the person beside her always comes into view. That position should have been hers!
Before this, others had no idea who Xia Luotong was. They only knew that the eldest daughter of the Xia Mansion was her, Xia Zhilu! And this marriage was originally given to her! She was the one who should have stood beside Prince An, and she was the one who should have become Princess An!
