"What's going on with Xia Mansion? Are they hosting a banquet and inviting you over?" Mu Jinyu shook the post in her hand, with a look of disgust on her face.
"Of course the beating was not done with good intentions. Mrs. Li is very evil. I don't think she will give up until she kills me. As for Xia Zhihe, she probably doesn't want me to stay in this world." Xia Luotong said casually. He said with a look of indifference.
When Mrs. Li poisoned her, Xia Zhihe ignored her. Later, he pushed her out to marry into the prince's palace, and even made up his mind to give up on her. Now she has taken back the Sun family's property and cut off their financial path. , let alone hope that she will get better.
"By the way, there's Xia Zhilu." Xia Luotong suddenly thought of what Xia Zhilu had said to him at the last banquet hosted by Princess Xu Side, and couldn't help but look meaningfully at Wu Zechen, who was sitting quietly drinking tea next to him. He said, "Maybe she doesn't want me to live a happy life. Maybe she has other plans."
Wu Zechen noticed the special meaning in Xia Luotong's words and couldn't help but raise his head to look at her. There was some confusion in his eyes, obviously he didn't quite understand what she meant.
Before Wu Zechen could ask, Mu Jinyu took the lead and spoke curiously: "Xia Zhilu? Who is that? Is she also from the Xia family? What's the problem with you?"
"Xia Zhilu is the legitimate daughter of the Li family. She was originally supposed to marry into the palace, but later she was replaced by me." Xia Luotong couldn't help laughing as he explained, "But now it seems that she is probably the one who married into the palace." I regret it. Before I got on the sedan chair, she laughed at me a lot, and by the way, she said that the prince was a slovenly man with beards!"
"Now that I have met the real person, are you surprised to find that you are a heavenly being and regret it?" Mu Jinyu couldn't help but laugh. He had also heard some rumors about Wu Zechen that had spread wildly in the capital when he first returned to the capital.
"Isn't that right? Last time at the banquet in the West Courtyard, she came to me and chatted for a long time just to inquire about the prince." Xia Luotong also smiled.
regret?
The look on Wu Zechen's face couldn't help but become a little cold. Although he couldn't remember what Xia Zhilu, the legitimate daughter of the Li family, looked like, he had a lot of information about her in his hands, all from the time she was given the marriage. When I collected them, I didn’t have any good feelings at all. It could even be said that I only had a bad feeling.
But he really wanted to thank these people from the Xia Mansion. If not for their actions, how could he have met Tong'er? So he will definitely "repay" them properly.
Mu Jinyu glanced at Wu Zechen's expression and knew that Xia Zhilu was definitely out of luck. His junior brother, his heart and eyes were full of his little junior sister, so how could there be room for others?
"It's a pity, she has no chance." He thought so and said the same.
"I think so. Your Majesty's taste should not be that bad." Xia Luotong also smiled and glanced at Wu Zechen, not missing the look of disgust in his eyes when he heard those words just now.
Hearing what she said, Wu Zechen had a look of helplessness on his face, but he didn't say much. Instead, Mu Jinyu on the side spoke meaningfully: "Junior brother has a very good sense, isn't he?"
Wu Zechen glanced at him wordlessly, with a hint of warning in his eyes, telling him not to talk too much.
Xia Luotong glanced at the two of them in confusion, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and said again: "It's a pity that Meng Han and Han Yan didn't receive the invitation and can't go to the banquet. It's so boring."
General Dingnan's family had only returned to Beijing for a short period of time, and they were not familiar with Xia Mansion. Therefore, the Xia Mansion did not invite anyone from General Dingnan this time, and Si Hanyan was not invited either. Si Jia Chang He has been stationed at the border for many years and has not returned to the capital. The Xia Mansion and the Si family have no friendship at all, so it is naturally difficult to send out an invitation rashly.
Seeing Xia Luotong curling his lips with a bored look on his face, Wu Zechen couldn't help but smile a little and said, "I will accompany you to the banquet then."
Xia Luotong was stunned. She obviously didn't expect that Wu Zechen would take the initiative to bring up this matter. She originally thought about asking him what he meant, but when she thought about how he hated people in Xia Mansion, she finally gave up the idea.
"Don't you hate the people in Xia Mansion? And are you free that day? If it's inconvenient, I can go alone. Anyway, Lindong and Zhuxuan are with me, and Wu Qi is secretly protecting me." She thought He was worried about going to Xia Mansion alone, fearing that the Xia Mansion's gang would harm her.
"I'm always free to accompany you." He looked at her and said in a soft and soothing tone.
Xia Luotong was stunned for a moment, as if a feather had fallen from the lake in his heart, causing ripples in circles, and a faint joy spread. Although this feeling was not intense, it made people want to immerse themselves in it.
Looking at those dark eyes, she felt as if she was about to be sucked in. For the first time, she had the idea of not daring to look directly. She subconsciously averted her gaze, feeling some inexplicable panic in her heart, which was extremely strange but unfamiliar. Not annoying.
"Since you are free, let's go together." Xia Luotong's eyes were a little wandering, he raised his fingers and gently scratched his cheek, and said unnaturally, "It just so happened that Xia Zhilu wanted me to take you to the Xia Mansion for a banquet. Let’s see what she wants to do.”
The familiar feeling appeared again. She tried hard to clear away the fog and see the answer behind it, but the panic at the moment left her with no clue.
Xia Luotong's strangeness was immediately noticed by Wu Zechen and Mu Jinyu. Both of them were extremely shrewd and keen people, so her reaction that was different from usual did not escape their eyes at all.
At that moment, Wu Zechen's heart surged with ecstasy, and he managed to restrain it without any abnormality on his face, but the joy in his eyes became more intense.
Did she finally respond?
However, he was happy, but Wu Zechen knew very well that this was just the beginning, and he still needed to work harder.
Mu Jinyu on the side was really happy for her junior brother when she saw him. He was finally no longer disliked by his younger junior sister! He had seen the changes in Wu Zechen during this period, and even he did not expect that in order to pursue his junior sister, this junior brother who was almost paralyzed from childhood to adulthood, and cold-hearted and cold-tempered, would actually have such a side.
"It's just right, maybe we can also watch the excitement." Sensing the discomfort on Xia Luotong's face, Wu Zechen knew that the matter could not be rushed and was not willing to push her too hard, so he took the initiative to change the topic.
"Busty? What's the buzz?" When Xia Luotong heard this, he became interested. Even the discomfort he felt just now was instantly forgotten, with a look of curiosity on his face.
