After Xia Luotong lit the fire, he immediately stopped talking and sat aside with a look on his face as if he were watching a show. The next moment, he saw that one of the family couldn't help but take the lead in attacking Concubine Xu.
"Concubine Xu, isn't it too unethical of you to do this? You even withheld the dowry?" The family member said through gritted teeth, with unconcealable anger on their faces.
But the other family didn't even say anything about the situation, and spoke angrily: "Princess Xu Zong, when I asked you for help, I gave you a lot of gifts and silver coins. I finally got you to order it. I sent my daughter to the prince to be his concubine, but now it’s good. My daughter entered the prince’s palace but became the concubine of the second prince. Even my daughter’s dowry went into your treasury. What’s the point? You must do it today. Give us an explanation! Otherwise, this matter will be brought to the emperor, and we will be responsible!"
Hearing the word "you" in this family's mouth, Xia Luotong raised his eyebrows and realized that the Xu family, the Minister of Household Affairs, was obviously involved in this matter, but he didn't know that the Xu family's actions were serious. Is it the will of higher-ups or something caused by yourself?
However, the Xu family is very courageous. Regardless of whether it is the will of the superiors or not, it is a fact that the Xu family uses this opportunity to make money with their concubines. And judging from what this family means, do they still want the one with the highest price to get it? Is this an open bidding for concubines? It’s so arrogant!
There was a slight coldness in Xia Luotong's eyes. It seemed that the Xu family and Concubine Xu had been happy for too long and needed to be dealt with!
Do they still think that Wu Zechen is the young prince who was easy to bully?
Concubine Xu Chou was forced by the two families, and a look of anxiety flashed in her eyes. She naturally knew that even if she brought this matter to the emperor, she would be unreasonable, and she might be punished, but what could she do? Are you willing to admit defeat?
She turned her eyes and looked at Xia Luotong as she spoke: "You can't blame me for this. Your daughter was indeed sent to the prince's yard, but she was stuffed into the second young master's room by the princess. , it’s still late at night, what can I do about this?”
Concubine Xu tried to divert the attention of the two families and let them focus on the transfer of the second concubine. It was best not to pay too much attention to the dowry.
In fact, if she really wanted to talk about it, she didn't want her son Wu Zhengqing to take in that second concubine!
Although these two families also have some status in Beijing, she still doesn't like her very much. Moreover, Wu Zhengqing has not yet married his wife. If he just lets his concubine pass through the house like this, many people will be worried about it. I gave up the idea of getting married. After all, real aristocratic families are still very taboo about this.
It is because of this that Wu Zhengqing has not yet married a wife at the age of twenty-two, in order to wait for a young lady with good family background and high family status to become his wife, so that she can also help Wu Zhengqing. .
When Xia Luotong saw that Concubine Xu Side dared to bite her, she immediately spread her hands and kicked the ball back with a look of helplessness on her face: "You can't blame me for this, Concubine Xu Side, you can do it yourself You can't blame me for not being honest. You didn't even tell us in advance. Suddenly, two women came over and said they were concubines for the prince. You didn't even show your face. You just gave it to the two adults. A worker? If I hadn't stopped him, the prince's anger wouldn't have gone away so easily yesterday."
After saying that, she turned to the two families and said: "You two, I am not talking about you, Concubine Xu is the concubine. Is it possible that you have seen a concubine from another family? She is not a concubine, and she has never taken care of my prince, so how come you two approached Concubine Xu to do this?"
Although Xia Luotong's words meant to ridicule the two families, the one who was really angry was Concubine Xu.
Concubine Xu's chest was heaving violently, and her eyes were filled with anger when she looked at Xia Luotong. How dare this bitch compare her to a concubine!
The faces of the two families were not very good-looking, but it was not because of Xia Luotong's ridicule, but because they overestimated Concubine Xu Tong!
They thought that Concubine Xu could handle the matter. She and the Xu family were convinced at that time. Otherwise, how could they have spent so much money to send their daughter over? I just didn’t expect that it would end up like this!
One of the family members looked at Xia Luotong unwillingly and said, "Princess, is it really the prince who is so angry that he refuses to keep anyone?"
Looking at the man's unconvincing look, Xia Luotong snorted coldly, and the expression on his face became a little colder: "If this gentleman doesn't believe it, you can ask my prince, but I would like to remind you. , it’s best to ask after a few days, after all, my prince has not calmed down yet!”
The man was choked. Seeing that the expression on Xia Luotong's face didn't seem to be fake at all, and then thinking about the scenes when Prince An and his wife showed up several times, he immediately believed most of it.
Seeing that the man was silent, Xia Luotong said again: "You two, this man is no longer with me now. He is already with the second young master. In addition, the dowry is also in the hands of Concubine Xu Side, so You don’t have to worry about me anymore, whether you want people or money, you can only go to Concubine Xu."
After hearing these words, Princess Xu's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, she saw that the two families had turned their attention to her again. She gritted her teeth with hatred, thinking of the dowry that her second concubine had brought with her, and she felt reluctant to part with it. But it’s really rich!
There are a lot of things that can make Concubine Xu Chou think about it, but it also means that the two families will definitely not give up.
"What the princess said makes sense." One of the family members spoke immediately, obviously reluctant to part with the dowry, "Tranny Xu, since the trouble has reached this point and the second young master has touched the little girl, you should give an explanation, and All these dowries should be returned to us."
Concubine Xu was immediately unhappy when she heard this. The other party actually wanted her to spit out the fat meat that she had eaten in her mouth? That's absolutely impossible!
I thought that she was just a concubine. Since everything was done, I just took over the backyard. Moreover, the strength of these two families was also good, so it could be a bit of a help.
Thinking of this, the look on Concubine Xu's face immediately became much kinder: "Look what you said, since Zhengqing and the two daughters have become, it is also their fate. Since God's will is like this, then why not... Let them live their lives.”
Concubine Xu thought she was relieved, and the two families would agree happily. After all, this is Prince An's Mansion no matter what. She was the concubine given by the emperor back then, and her son is also Prince An's Mansion. The second young master, such a status is not something ordinary people have the opportunity to achieve.
Even in her heart, the position of Prince An will belong to her son Wu Zhengqing sooner or later!
However, what she didn't expect was that the two families refused without hesitation!
And he looked quite disgusted with it!
