Seeing Xia Luotong give him a meaningful smile, Xu Caidi couldn't help but frown and hesitate.
She didn't expect that Xia Luotong could be so calm and composed after seeing her, and could even be said to be confident. That look in his eyes was provocative, and it didn't look like what a guilty-minded person should look like.
Is there any other secret behind this matter?
Xu Caidi felt that it was better not to act rashly and to investigate carefully after the banquet was over. Anyway, now that she knew Xia Luotong's identity, she didn't have to worry about not being able to find out any information.
In addition, I have to tell He Jingyao about this. Although the two of them failed to cooperate last time, there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future, and they can discuss this matter in detail.
As for Xia Luotong's relationship with Liu Zimo now that she is married, these are not important to Xu Caidi. She only knows that Liu Zimo actually rejected her invitation in order to hang out with this woman! This is enough for me to teach her a lesson!
What's more, it doesn't matter how beautiful this woman Xia Luotong is? So what if she carries the identity of Prince An and Princess An now? After all, he is just a bastard from the Xia family! If it weren't for this Yuci marriage, the identity of this daughter of the Xia family might not even be recognized!
Just because of his status, he was paired with her to preach? !
Thinking of Xia Luotong's retort to him that day at Jinguang Lake, and how humiliated he was in public! The cold look on Xu Caidi's face flashed away, she would not let this bastard of the Xia family have an easy time!
Xia Luotong did not miss Liu Zimo and Xu Caidi in the crowd. She glanced around calmly and felt relieved after confirming that among the many guests present, they were the only ones they knew. Somewhat surprisingly, Liu Yingxue did not come to the Xia Mansion to attend the wedding banquet. Even Liu Zimo came. Presumably the Liu Mansion must have received the invitation.
But since no one came, she didn't worry too much. After all, it was a good thing that they didn't come to cause trouble for her. She would not have nothing to do and hope that she would be troubled all day long. Besides, she had other things to do today. of.
The identity of Prince An Wu Zechen was displayed there. Even though he was much younger than many court officials present, everyone in the flower hall still stood up to greet him. Regardless of whether they were willing or not, they did not lose their courtesy.
Xia Zhihe, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward and personally introduced Wu Zechen to sit at the main table. Although the two of them exchanged a few polite words, in the eyes of others, they did not look like Weng's son-in-law. Prince An, Wu Zechen He looked the same as before, with a look of indifference and alienation on his face. The whole body exudes the aura of keeping strangers away.
To be honest, if Xia Luotong hadn't combined everyone's reactions and Xia Zhihe's words, she wouldn't even be sure whether this man was her nominal biological father. After all, she had never met Xia Zhihe, not even on the day of her wedding. Came to see her.
Perhaps, he felt that she was bound to die anyway, so there was no need to waste time...
Because it was a wedding banquet, the direct descendants of the Xia family and Prince An and his wife were sitting at the main table. The other guests were men and women sitting separately, not sitting at the same table like them.
The host arrived and the banquet began. Xia Zhihe stood up and spoke the opening words without hesitation.
It was normal to say nothing at first, but when Xia Zhihe said, "...when he went home for the first time two months after getting married," someone at the banquet finally spoke up.
"Is it possible that Princess An was so happy in the palace that she even forgot to go home to visit her relatives? You must know that the bride will return home on the third day."
This voice sounded suddenly. Although the tone was full of laughter, as if he was joking, Xia Luotong knew that this was someone from Xia Zhihe's side starting to cause trouble.
Xia Luotong looked at the speaker. He was a man about forty years old. He seemed to be an invited official.
As soon as this person spoke, everyone's attention was instantly diverted to Xia Luotong. This was a question that everyone wanted to know.
But everyone wants to know that Xia Luotong did not intend to respond, because she had already agreed with Wu Zechen before that if she encountered the current situation, Wu Zechen would handle it by herself, so she listened to the man's question After saying this, he just smiled lightly but did not speak.
Then I heard Wu Zechen next to me speak: "My princess is naturally enjoying a comfortable life in her own palace. Is it possible that she must pamper her concubines and kill her wives like some officials do in their palaces? I am the legitimate wife of the royal family. You actually have to live by your concubine's face, and her life is worse than that of your maid."
As soon as Wu Zechen finished speaking, everyone present subconsciously turned their attention back to the middle-aged man who had just spoken, because the things exposed in Prince An's words were obviously used to retaliate against him. Is it possible that this really happened?
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw that the middle-aged man's face darkened instantly, and his expression was gloomy and slightly suspicious. Apparently, he did not expect that Prince An Wu Zechen would know these things.
The middle-aged man's reaction fell into the eyes of everyone. What else doesn't everyone understand? It seems that the information exposed by Prince An is actually true! ?
For a moment, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man never thought that this fire would actually burn him. What made him even more confused was how did Prince An know about this? ! This matter is obviously very hidden. His wife is as timid as a mouse and her family is weak, so it is impossible to publicize it!
However, this is not the time to dwell on this matter. The fact that he did not hold back his expression just now has already given people clues. It would not be wise to continue talking about his own affairs at this time, as it would only draw attention to the focus of everyone. They all focus on themselves, so the best way is to redirect everyone's attention back to Prince An and his wife!
"Since Prince An loves the princess so much, why didn't he bring the princess with him during the tea ceremony on the second day of the wedding and when he returned from the three dynasties?" The middle-aged man suppressed the anger in his heart and hurriedly changed the topic.
Fortunately, everyone is paying more attention to the affairs of Prince An's Mansion at the moment. In addition, many of the guests are from Xia Zhihe's camp. They are here for Prince An's Mansion today, so many people immediately appeared in the crowd. Voices of agreement.
"The princess has been unwell since the wedding day and has been resting in the palace. Naturally, I will not be like some people and completely disregard my wife's life and death." Wu Zechen glanced at the middle-aged man indifferently.
Although Wu Zechen returned to Beijing not long ago, his strong and cold temperament is already known to everyone, and his sharp words are not surprising.
