Mrs. Xia was indeed aroused by Xia Luotong's words. Although she hated Xia Luotong very much, she had to admit that Xia Luotong was absolutely right.
Xia Zhihe is now nearly forty years old. If he doesn't have a few children as soon as possible, who knows whether he will be able to have children when he gets older?
If it hadn't been for Li's obstruction these years, how could Xia Zhihe have only two concubines brought up by maids? Still so vulgar and mediocre, without any appearance at all.
There are only three or four children. Xia Luotong is as evil as a debt collector. How long has it been since he returned to Beijing? They took away all the money-making property from their mother and son! It will only make them angry!
As for the other concubine's concubine, she is like nothing else. Not only is she sick, she is also talentless and beautiful. Even if she wants to use it for marriage in the future, she may not be able to find a worthy family!
Other families have many children, and marriage can bring benefits to the family. However, their Xia family has very few children.
The more Mrs. Xia thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became with Mrs. Li, and even her face became a little ugly.
How could Mrs. Li on the side not see the change in Mrs. Xia's expression? Even for a while, my blood was surging and I was burning with anger!
This damn bitch! Make trouble for her as soon as she comes back!
Xia Zhilu, who had been sitting quietly next to Mrs. Li, finally couldn't help but spoke angrily: "Sister, as a daughter, how can I take care of things in my father's house? Father and mother will take care of it, sister. Don’t worry.”
As Li's daughter, how could Xia Zhilu not be angry? If she hadn't considered that Xia Luotong was still useful to her and needed to use Xia Luotong's identity to get close to Prince An, she wouldn't have said it so tactfully! He must have directly accused him!
Unexpectedly, Xia Luotong smiled at Xia Zhilu, looking quite kind, as if she had a good relationship with her: "My sister is right, my mother is a lady, so she naturally understands this."
Xia Zhilu couldn't help but feel happy when she saw Xia Luotong being kind to her alone. It seemed that the show of kindness to her at the concubine's banquet last time was indeed effective! But the second half of the sentence was quite threatening, and she couldn't help but frown.
But now she had finally gotten closer to Xia Luotong, and she wanted to use this to achieve what she wanted. Naturally, she didn't want to destroy the "relationship" between the two of them so quickly, so she just frowned. But he didn't say anything more.
Xia Zhilu fell silent, but Xia Luotong did not finish her words. She seemed to be talking to herself, murmuring in a voice that only Mrs. Xia could hear: "Father is now a minister, a dignified second-rank scholar Now that he is an official, he is not as shackles by others as he was with a lowly official position, no power and influence. If he can connect with a few good marriages, he will definitely be a help to his father, and maybe this position can be moved up a little bit. It’s not impossible to be an extremely human minister, but it’s a pity.”
When Mrs. Xia heard this murmur, her heart couldn't help but become excited, and her mind suddenly became active.
Nowadays, she is no longer the commoner woman who didn't understand anything before. Naturally, she can understand the meaning of Xia Luotong's words, so she can't hold back anymore.
yes! Xia Zhihe is no longer the little-known official he used to be, he is now the Minister of Rites! Why do you need to watch Mr. Li Ge's expression eagerly anymore? Besides, it's not that he wants to take away the position of Li's head wife, it's just to take over a few concubines, so what can Mr. Li Ge do?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xia suddenly relaxed, and there was also a rare smile on her face. But such a change in her expression when she saw it in Li's eyes made Li's heart skip a beat, and she suddenly felt... There was a slight crisis, but his expression became more and more cold.
At this time, Xia Luotong became like a man who had nothing to do, sitting aside and playing with the handkerchief in his hand as if nothing had happened, as if the pattern was particularly attractive.
Naturally, she saw all the expressions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law beside her, and she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. This kind of feeling has been buried.
With an idea in her mind, Mrs. Xia also had an idea to chat with the other ladies. She also smiled a little as she spoke, as if what just happened never happened at all.
Which of the ladies and ladies here are not experienced in these situations for many years? Naturally, it was time to talk and laugh at the moment, and never mention what happened just now. As for whether they would gossip with others about today's banquet after leaving Xia Mansion, only they knew.
The subsequent chat became much more normal. Most of the time, Xia Luotong just sat quietly and listened, and occasionally spoke a few words.
But whenever she opens her mouth, she always says, "Miss so-and-so looks so gentle and polite," and "Miss so-and-so is so pleasing to the eye." Whenever she says this, she must follow it with, "Who can You would be really lucky to marry Miss So-and-so", and sometimes even directly ask questions like "Is Miss So-and-so married?"
Such straightforward and purposeful words made everyone confused for a moment. Does she want to impress her father, Mr. Xia, or her prince?
But no matter who they were looking at, many of the ladies here couldn't help but get excited. The people attending the banquet today had high and low official positions, and those with slightly lower positions naturally had some ideas about this. After all, no matter whether they entered An Whether it is the Prince's Mansion or the Xia Mansion, it is a good thing for their family. As long as they send the concubine of the family to be a concubine, they can bring help to the family. Why not?
Not only these ladies, but also Mrs. Xia became energetic. After all, although Xia Luotong was annoying, what she just said was true, and Xia Zhihe's backyard should be expanded! It is more convenient for children to add more!
She did not expect Mrs. Li to take a concubine for her son, and she was even dissatisfied with Mr. Li. She felt that any girl from any family was good to her at the moment. Even the ones Xia Luotong mentioned were extremely suitable!
If anyone in the hall is in the worst mood at the moment, it's probably Li. Can she still tell what her mother-in-law is thinking?
However, unlike Mrs. Li, Xia Zhilu did not pay attention to the chats and plans of Mrs. Come to Xia Mansion for a banquet! He's in the front hall right now, and you'll see him at the banquet soon!
Ever since she came up with this idea, she has been thinking of Prince An from time to time in her mind recently, remembering his handsome and flawless appearance, and even his tender look when facing Xia Luotong. And her jealousy and hatred towards Xia Luotong are increasing day by day, and she always wants to snatch back the position of Princess An that should belong to her from Xia Luotong!
