It can be said that without the Sun family, there would be no Xia Zhihe today, but he treated the biological daughter of the Sun family in this way, and even took possession of all the Sun family's property. Once such behavior was exposed by Prince An, Xia Zhihe would not only be unable to lift him up, but At first, he will be looked down upon by everyone.
An ungrateful person will be despised no matter where he is.
Wu Zechen did not expose this matter in the main hall today. Firstly, it was because he had not found any evidence for this matter yet. Not only had it been seventeen years, but most of the insiders at that time had been cleared out by the Li family. .
Secondly, it's not yet time to completely break up with Xia Zhihe. Although he doesn't take Xia Zhihe seriously at all, touching him will alert him.
As for the last point, the main reason is that Xia Luotong doesn't want to expose this matter yet.
Whether it was out of care for Xia Luotong or for his own plans, Wu Zechen did not expose Xia Zhihe.
It's just that he thought it was showing mercy, but the other party obviously didn't think so.
At this time, Xia Zhihe was not only afraid of Wu Zechen's intimidation, but also secretly hated Wu Zechen's ruthlessness. He also hated and despised the eldest daughter who had caused him so much trouble and lost his face. Complained.
"Prince Don't worry..."
Xia Zhihe was trying hard to say something to save his face, when a voice suddenly came from outside the crowd.
"Why are you all gathered here, sir?"
The voice was a little soft, and they knew it was a father-in-law. Everyone followed the voice and found out that it was Eunuch Chang Xi, the chief eunuch of Cining Palace and the most useful personal eunuch around the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was also a hero among women in her early years, and her strategic skills were no worse than those of men. The late Emperor's ability to defeat all the princes and ascend to the throne was largely due to the Queen Mother and the Si family behind her, so even though the Queen Mother has now retired to Cining Palace, Although she asked about the affairs of the previous dynasty, her iron-blooded demeanor back then was still remembered by many veterans, and they did not dare to look down on the Queen Mother at all.
Eunuch Chang Xi has been following the Queen Mother for decades, and his status is extraordinary. Naturally, others dare not look down upon him.
Seeing Eunuch Chang Xi appear, all the ministers did not dare to put on airs and greeted him one after another. Eunuch Chang Xi also returned the greetings with a smile on his face. He looked kind-hearted and seemed to be a person who was easy to get along with, but no one Dare I really think he is a kind and easy-going person.
Who can climb to such a position, who is simple? Especially in this deep palace that eats people without spitting out bones, it also experienced a battle for the right to inherit the throne, and became the final winner.
Chang Xi's appearance turned everyone's attention to him, including Prince An and his wife, Xia Zhihe and others, which invisibly eased the tense atmosphere in the venue.
Walking up to Prince An with a smile on his face, Chang Xi had no intention of showing off, and bowed politely, not caring at all about the tense atmosphere between the two parties just now.
In fact, he didn't pay much attention to Xia Zhihe, his eyes only stayed on Prince An, and he didn't even look at Xia Zhihe. This attitude said a lot.
"Prince An, the Queen Mother is talking about you and the princess. Do you have time to go and see her?" Eunuch Chang Xi smiled and glanced at Xia Luotong behind Wu Zechen, and saw the latter smiling at him. He smiled and returned the gesture kindly.
Although he has never met Princess An, he has heard a lot about her, and the most important point is that she can detoxify Prince An. This alone is enough. Let him think highly of her, and the Queen Mother also attaches great importance to this.
As the most confidant around the Queen Mother, he also knew about Prince An's poisoning when he was young.
"I originally wanted to take the princess to pay respects to the Queen Mother, but Master Xia stopped me and planned to lecture the princess." Wu Zechen said softly.
When Xia Zhihe heard this, his heart suddenly dropped. He obviously didn't expect Wu Zechen to do such a trick. Before he could explain, he saw Chang Xi looking over. Although the latter still had a smile on his face, the smile was But it was obviously much lighter.
"Princess An is now the daughter-in-law of the royal family and the direct grandson-in-law of the Queen Mother. Even if she wants to preach, the Queen Mother should personally come forward. Has Master Xia forgotten the rules?" Chang Xi looked at Xia Zhihe, his tone was still gentle, but no matter who You can all hear the meaning inside.
Although according to the rules, daughters like Xia Luotong who married into the royal family and had high status were not qualified to be reprimanded by their natal family, but from the perspective of family ties, it was also a matter of mutual benefit and reciprocity with the natal family. From a perspective, most people don't pay too much attention to this. At most, they only consider face when outsiders are around.
But this obviously does not apply to the relationship between Princess An, Xia Luotong and the Xia family. Chang Xi knew this, so he pointed it out directly when he opened his mouth.
"Look at what the father-in-law said, I dare not forget it. I just haven't seen the princess for a long time, so I just stepped forward to say a few words. Since the queen mother has summoned her, I must not dare to delay the queen mother's affairs. , father-in-law, please excuse me." Xia Zhihe said with a smile on his face, biting his back molars.
Chang Xi smiled when he saw this, and then led Prince An and his wife away, towards the direction of Cining Palace.
Looking at the three people walking away, Xia Zhihe secretly clenched his fists, and only he knew the anger in his heart. And the faces of those who were traveling with him were not very good either.
The handsome man who had never spoken a word from beginning to end glanced coldly at the courtiers with different expressions around him, lowered his voice and said to the people around him: "Leave first, find a place and then discuss the matter further."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Everyone, including Mr. Li Ge and Xia Zhihe, responded, obviously looking up to this handsome man with respectful expressions, and then the group went directly out of the palace gate.
Cining Palace is not close, so Wu Zechen took the initiative to talk to Xia Luotong on the way: "Do you know about the Sun family's property?"
"I don't know. I don't know anything about it except the house in Anyuan Town. I just heard a little bit from the wet nurse that my grandfather has shops in many towns, but she doesn't know the specific situation." Xia Luotong didn't hide it, he said it bluntly.
Ever since the cold-faced prince apologized to her about the sachet, they had gotten along much more harmoniously, and they could talk from time to time. There was no problem in chatting calmly like this, which made her very happy. satisfy.
If we can maintain a good cooperative relationship like this, that would naturally be the best. After all, no one wants to continue to cooperate in a stalemate relationship, which can affect their mood every day.
