Why? !
Why could Prince An be so gentle and considerate when treating Xia Luotong, a vulgar and despicable woman, but he was so disgusted with her, a truly noble girl? ! She is not convinced! Not willing to give in!
He is hers! The position of Princess An is also hers! She won't give up so easily! She will definitely let him see how good she is and find that she is better than that woman Xia Luotong and more suitable for him!
Xia Zhilu roared angrily in her heart, but her face became more delicate: "I'm sorry, Zhilu didn't mean it. She just saw that the prince was alone here, so she came to inquire."
Seeing that Prince An was still frowning, she couldn't help but continued angrily: "Why did my sister leave the prince alone here? Why don't you let Zhilu lead the way for you?"
In just a few words, Xia Zhilu started to think about applying eye drops to her sister-in-law. She finally understood that her despicable sister had already confused the prince. If she didn't I am afraid that I will have no chance in the future, so I have made up my mind to weaken Xia Luotong's influence on Prince An from now on, so that Prince An will start to hate Xia Luotong little by little!
Wu Zechen saw through Xia Zhilu's intentions at a glance. With Xia Luotong's previous reminder, he still couldn't figure out what Xia Zhilu was reporting? His eyes immediately turned cold, and the air pressure around him dropped a bit.
How dare you slander his princess in front of him?
"What about your sister? You are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks. Is this how Li taught you about etiquette and respect?" Wu Zechen's voice was slightly cold, and the displeasure on his face became more and more undisguised.
"No, Zhilu just cares about the prince and wonders why the prince is here alone." Xia Zhilu was startled and quickly explained.
But she was filled with resentment in her heart. She never thought that Xia Luotong would be so important in Prince An's heart. She just mentioned it briefly, and it immediately aroused Prince An's dissatisfaction. It seemed that If you want to weaken Xia Luotong's position in Prince An's heart, or even make Prince An hate Xia Luotong, you can only use other methods.
"Why is this king here? It's not your turn to ask. Tong'er is the eldest daughter from the original wife, and she is also your eldest sister. It is disrespectful and disrespectful for you to slander her. What's more, she is now the dignified Princess An, and her status is noble, so you can't judge her at will." Wu Zechen said coldly.
How could Xia Zhilu not notice his protective attitude? But what made her feel most humiliated was that Prince An said that Xia Luotong had a noble status. Doesn't that mean that her status was inferior to Xia Luotong's and that she was the humble person? !
This is completely unacceptable to Xia Zhilu, who has a high self-esteem and has always felt superior to others, especially nobler than Xia Luotong! What's more, in her eyes, the position of Princess An should have been hers! It was Xia Luotong who took away what should have been hers!
Although she was unwilling to accept the humiliation, Xia Zhilu became more and more determined to take back the positions of Prince An and Princess An!
While Xia Zhilu was trying various methods to get close to Wu Zechen, at the pavilion on the other side, the conversation between Xia Luotong and Sun Jiaolan continued. The main thing was that Xia Luotong talked and Sun Jiaolan listened.
Sun Jiaolan was very cautious and had not said a few words from the beginning to now, but Xia Luotong didn't care. She didn't intend to hear anything from Sun Jiaolan's mouth, because she had already heard it from Sun Jiaolan's face. Got the answer I wanted.
Sun Jiaolan's heart was moved, and her desire to enter the Xia Mansion became even more determined.
"...Although my father had a smoother career with the help of the Li family in the beginning, with his father's ability, he could have reached his current status even without the Li family, it just took a little more effort. That's all." Xia Luotong deliberately showed a look of admiration. God knows she felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.
But disgusting is disgusting. In fact, Xia Luotong also knows very well that Xia Zhihe still has some abilities. Otherwise, with the help of the Li family, he would not be able to climb to the position of Minister of Rites.
Of course, in addition to the Li family, there was also money from the Sun family's property to pave the way. Otherwise, how could Xia Zhihe have so much money to win over other officials and curry favor with the superior?
Xia Zhihe's greatest skill was neither his talent nor his own ability, but his communication skills, which allowed him to maintain good relationships with many aristocratic families. But now that he doesn't have the support of the Sun family, it may be difficult for him to maintain these relationships as well as he did.
"My father has accumulated so many connections over the years, and coupled with his current status, it may not be impossible to advance further. After all, my father is still very young, and there is still a long time to come." Xia Luotong remained calm. He glanced at Sun Jiaolan's face and did not miss the flash of light in the latter's eyes.
She couldn't help but smile in her heart, as long as her heart moved, she would act only when her heart moved...
Before Sun Jiaolan could reply, she showed a look of distress and regret, and continued: "It's just that my father worked too hard. After so many years of hard work, he was responsible for the prosperity of the entire family, but on weekdays he didn't even have a single person. There are no confidants who can talk to him. The two aunts in the mansion are both madam's maids and are very dull on weekdays. How can they relieve father's fatigue? Madam is such a strong person, and she doesn't know how to be considerate of her father. You said, relying on your status as the legitimate daughter of the Li family, you suppress your father everywhere, how can you look like a married woman?"
"But I can't blame Madam entirely. After all, she gave birth to our Xia family's only son, which can be regarded as a great achievement for her hard work. However, there are still a few men in this mansion. If there can be more brothers to help Xia Mansion and the It will be good if father shares the worries." Xia Luotong didn't even bother to hide her dissatisfaction with the Li family, and at the same time pointed out the problem of the Xia family's heirs to hint at Sun Jiaolan.
Finally, she said slowly: "Actually, my father's current status is not much worse than that of the Li family. Moreover, he has the attention of His Highness the Crown Prince..."
What Xia Luotong said was just to remind Sun Jiaolan that she still had a chance to overthrow the Li family! Li is not as unshakable as before!
She didn't believe that Sun Jiaolan could bear such a huge temptation. Besides, Sun Jiaolan had hugged and kissed Xia Zhihe just now. If she didn't have this idea, how could she possibly do that?
After thinking about what he had to say, he glanced at Sun Jiaolan who was deep in thought. Xia Luotong smiled faintly and stood up: "I didn't expect that I could have such a good conversation with Miss Sun. It almost happened. I forgot the time, the prince is still waiting, so I went to look for the prince first."
Seeing Xia Luotong suddenly getting up to leave, Sun Jiaolan quickly stood up to see him off, looking at the figure slowly walking away, she fell into deep thought.
