"In my opinion, it is not necessary. My daughter and the second master are not suitable for each other. Concubine Xu should return the dowry." One of them immediately refused without any hesitation.
The other family then added: "My daughter will also be taken home and she will not stay with Concubine Xu."
These two people were actually unwilling to leave their daughter to Wu Zhengqing, and wanted to take her back with her dowry!
In the eyes of these two families, Wu Zhengqing was already twenty-two years old. So what if he was the second master of Prince An's residence and the only concubine of Prince An?
If he has a good relationship with Wu Zechen, then he can still consider it, but the relationship between the two brothers is obviously not good. When the two appeared on the same occasion several times, Prince An regarded Wu Zheng as pure air. How can people be worthy of their daughters and large sums of money?
Seeing them refuse without hesitation, even wanting to take away all the people and property immediately, and not wanting to talk to her at all, made Concubine Xu side angry to death.
She was a dignified concubine of the late king, and she was once a famous noblewoman in the capital. Her brother was still the current Minister of Household Affairs. When had she ever been so disliked? !
But now she really needed money. If she was asked to just give back what she had got, she was unwilling to do so, so she could only grit her teeth and smile with a forced look on her face: "They have already consummated their marriage, if they just take it back like this , how can they remarry into a good family? I think they are indeed good people. Since it is God's will, why not let them stay with Zhengqing."
The two families frowned, with a hint of disgust and impatience on their faces. Even Wu Zhengqing's wife was disdainful, let alone a concubine. Although she is no longer perfect, if she becomes a concubine, there are still many people to choose from, and it can bring some benefits to the family. It is better than giving it to Wu Zhengqing.
At this time, they even disliked Concubine Xu Bei. She really couldn't figure out how much she weighed, and she even dared to say such things.
"I don't need Concubine Xu to worry about it. I will find another marriage for my daughter." One of the families immediately refused.
Another family immediately followed up, not even hiding the anger and impatience on their faces: "We sent our daughter to the palace, but something like this happened. We can't just return the dowry and send it back to her family. This compensation But nothing less!”
The family was not easy to get along with at first glance. At this time, they actually proposed to compensate for the losses. Obviously, they did not intend to evaluate the face of both parties anymore. Even Xia Luotong, who was watching the excitement, did not think of it.
Concubine Xu's eyes widened, her face filled with anger, she pointed at the family member with trembling hands and screamed: "You are so bullying! This is Prince An's Mansion! I am the concubine of the late king, how dare you?!"
"So what about the late king's concubine? You have to be reasonable after all, right? My daughter is destined to be a concubine for someone else in the future. I've ruined you like this. Don't you need to compensate me?" The man said nothing. He pushed back without giving in, "When you and Mr. Xu were collecting the money, you said well that the little girl entered the palace to be a concubine for Prince An, but now she has become your son's concubine. I didn't go. It’s okay to accuse you of fraud, so hurry up and compensate us for our losses!”
The man was obviously planning to quarrel with each other, and he said whatever he said without hesitation. Xia Luotong, who was watching on the side, immediately became happy and mended his knife beside him.
"Yes, Concubine Xu, although you are the concubine of the late king, you can't be so unreasonable, right? Not to mention that my prince will never allow such a thing to happen, even when my father is still alive. I definitely can’t agree to it.”
Xia Luotong ignored the cannibalistic look of Concubine Xu Concubine at all, and reported several shop names to the two families, and then said with sympathy on her face: "These are all under the name of Concubine Xu Concubine." Shop, Concubine Xu Bei will definitely compensate you two, you can rest assured that Concubine Xu Bei is definitely not that kind of person!"
After she finished speaking without stopping, she no longer cared about other people's reactions, and immediately stood up to leave: "Let you continue to negotiate the details. I will go back first, so that the prince will not be able to see me when he comes back later. Maybe he will I was so worried that I came here to look for him personally.”
The fire has been burning brightly enough, and it's time for her to leave. Otherwise, how could they negotiate compensation if she was still there?
After saying that, she led Lindong and slowly left the hall with a cheerful smile on her face under the gloomy gaze of Princess Xu.
Once he heard that Prince An might come to look for him personally, who would dare to stop Xia Luotong? Prince An's reputation was not something to be talked about casually. Everyone could only watch her leave with brisk steps.
As soon as he returned to his own territory in Shaoguang Pavilion, Lindong couldn't help but smile: "I'm afraid Princess Xu is going to be angry to death, the princess is really powerful!"
"It's better to be angry to death. She is so bold that she even dares to care about my man. She doesn't even say hello and directly sends her concubine here? Who gives her the face and rights?" Xia Luotong is obviously concerned about this matter. She was a little annoyed, but fortunately Wu Zechen's reaction did not disappoint her.
Zhuxuan listened on the sidelines and couldn't help laughing. Who would have thought that not long ago, their princess was lukewarm towards the prince?
Xia Luotong couldn't help but blush when she saw Zhuxuan's smile. She naturally knew what Zhuxuan was laughing at and couldn't help but glared at Zhuxuan in shame. Zhuxuan wasn't afraid at all, she just pursed her lips and continued to laugh. .
Xia Luotong sighed helplessly, and then turned to Lindong and said: "Send someone to pay attention to the movements in the west courtyard and see how they deal with it later. I caused such a big incident and was tricked by me. Come back, Concubine Xu will never give up."
Lindong immediately accepted the order and retreated, but in the evening, she did not report back. Instead, Wu Zechen, who came back, told Xia Luotong the situation.
Wu Zechen now wished he could stay by Xia Luotong's side all the time. Even if he didn't speak, he would be satisfied with just looking at her occasionally, so he took over Lin Dong's errand without hesitation.
"The two families took their daughters back. Not only did they get back their respective dowries, but they also made a fortune out of that woman's hand." Wu Zechen sat next to Xia Luotong, watching her sorting out the medicinal recipes. Playing with the ends of her hair, he kept wrapping it around his fingertips, his eyes filled with tenderness.
