Even though Xia Zhilu didn't completely believe Xia Luotong's words, she still had this idea at the first moment.
Fortunately, she was well prepared when she came this time, just in time to cope with the current situation.
Fortunately, her father and grandmother helped her, which was the most important purpose of her coming to the palace this time!
Thinking of what she had agreed upon with her father and grandmother, the anger in Xia Zhilu's heart suddenly subsided a lot, and she sneered in her heart.
She did not follow Xia Luotong's wishes and call Prince An her brother-in-law, but suddenly changed the subject and took out a food box she had just brought into the house.
"No matter what you call me, I am Zhilu's eldest sister." Xia Zhilu vaguely mentioned, then looked at Xia Luotong with an innocent and charming smile, and opened the food box she brought as if she was offering a treasure, "Sister, this is The pastries Zhilu brought here are newly created by the chef at home, and they are delicious."
Xia Luotong pretended to be interested, but asked casually: "Why did you suddenly think of bringing something to eat for me?"
"At the previous banquet, my sister saw that my elder sister seemed to like snacks, so when she saw the cooks coming up with new products, she thought of bringing them over for her to try. If she likes them, she will often bring some to her in the future." Xia Zhilu pretended. Speaking simply.
She looks like a good sister who cares about her sister wholeheartedly, but in fact Xia Zhilu despises Xia Luotong in her heart. She just feels that this woman has never seen much of the world. She can be seen eating non-stop at every banquet, which is really embarrassing. Very, how could Prince An like such a vulgar woman? !
However, Xia Zhilu chose to forget one thing. Prince An had been feeding Xia Luotong at the palace banquet...
"You are thoughtful." Xia Luotong looked like an elder accepting the filial piety of a younger generation, and made Xia Zhilu so angry that she secretly gritted her teeth.
With a faint smile quietly, Xia Luotong looked at the food box that Xia Zhilu brought.
The food box is divided into two layers and contains four kinds of pastries. The portions of the pastries are not large, but they are all exquisite and cute. Just looking at them will make people move their index fingers.
"It looks pretty good." Xia Luotong said casually. Suddenly his eyes moved and he noticed something subtle and special.
One of the cakes is made in the shape of a cherry blossom, but the colors at the stamens are divided into two types, one yellow and one pink. The two different colors divide the cake into two parts. If you don’t look carefully, it may not be obvious. You can see this subtle difference.
Xia Luotong raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, then looked at the other three kinds of pastries, and found that they all made such small distinctions.
Is this just for decoration, or does it have an ulterior motive?
Although Xia Luotong has not yet made a conclusion in his mind, he has already made some guesses.
Xia Zhilu on the side saw Xia Luotong's interested eyes, and she despised this greedy and vulgar woman. Sure enough, she couldn't help it when she saw something delicious, but she said with enthusiasm on her face: "Sister, try it quickly, it's so good." I ate it.”
As she spoke, Xia Zhilu picked up the cherry blossom-shaped cake with pink stamens with serving chopsticks and placed it on the plate in front of Xia Luotong.
Xia Luotong calmly picked up the piece of pastry, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it as if curious: "It smells like flowers, which is really nice."
Although there was nothing unusual on his face, Xia Luotong felt a sneer in his heart.
There is indeed something wrong with this pastry!
Her good father, her good grandmother, and this good sister in front of her really didn't look down on her at all!
Last time at the banquet at the Xia Mansion, they spent a lot of effort to give herself the medicine to kill the child. Perhaps they were worried that she would not take enough medicine and the medicine would not be effective enough, so this time they specially gave her the medicine. Jue Zi Yao's cakes came, and it seemed that she had made up her mind and would never let herself get pregnant with Wu Zechen's child!
"Yes, it's not only fragrant, but also delicious. Sister, try it quickly." Xia Zhilu saw Xia Luotongguang looking at and asking questions curiously, but never took the pastry into her mouth. She was angry at what happened to this country bumpkin. So much, he kept urging.
Xia Luotong looked at Xia Zhilu's eager look, suddenly stopped, looked at Xia Zhilu and said with a smile: "Second sister, why don't you eat it? You should use some with me, otherwise I would just let me eat it alone." I’m a little embarrassed.”
Is this woman doubting herself? Or is it just being cautious?
Xia Zhilu looked at Xia Luotong calmly and saw that the look in the latter's eyes was very natural. Then she secretly thought that she might be suspicious. What could a stupid woman born in the countryside know?
"Okay." Xia Zhilu immediately agreed with a smile, stretched out her hand without hesitation, and picked up a cake shaped like a cherry blossom, but with yellow stamens.
She opened her mouth to eat naturally, but she didn't know that Xia Luotong looked at her with a deeper look.
After swallowing the pastry, Xia Zhilu still had a smile on her face: "It's really delicious. Sister, please try it."
Xia Zhilu's eyes fixed on the cakes fell into Xia Luotong's eyes. What else didn't she understand? Xia Zhilu obviously knew that there was something wrong with this pastry, but she still couldn't wait to eat it.
Originally, she was thinking that although Xia Zhilu was Li's daughter, if she didn't provoke her, she might as well let Xia Zhilu go when she targeted the Xia Mansion later.
But after this incident, she finally understood that her thoughts were unnecessary, and Xia Zhilu was already rushing to harm her.
If that's the case, then she doesn't have to be polite to Xia Zhilu in the future, not to mention that she has never thought of repaying kindness with kindness against those who attack her.
Facing Xia Zhilu's burning gaze, Xia Luotong smiled and ate the pastry. After finishing it, he nodded and said, "It tastes good."
This little trick couldn't hurt her at all, so she didn't worry about eating cakes in front of Xia Zhi at all, just like she did in Xia Mansion.
When Xia Zhilu saw Xia Luotong eating the pastry, her eyes became hotter and hotter, and a sense of joy spread in her heart!
This woman always showed her affection in front of her, calling her "my prince" at every turn, and even calling her "my concubine" as if to show off her status. She had been holding her breath for a long time, but now she was finally a lot happier!
She even began to look forward to it, looking forward to the day when this woman would discover that she was infertile! I don’t know how broken and painful it will look!
Just thinking about it made her so excited that she even wanted to laugh out loud!
Xia Zhilu, who was in a happy mood, gave Xia Luotong three other kinds of pastries one after another, and watched Xia Luotong eat them one by one, with the smile on her face getting brighter.
Xia Luotong looked at the smile on Xia Zhilu's face, but her heart felt cold. There really was no one in the Xia family worthy of her keeping her hand.
