"Madam is picking out clothes with the young lady. In a few days, the Spring Festival banquet will be held at Duke Fengguo's mansion, and we have also received an invitation." While waiting for Xia Zhihe to come back, the young man had already inquired about Li's family in advance. At this time, I was able to answer the question, and then added, "Madam seems to be in a good mood."
When Xia Zhihe heard that Mr. Li was in a good mood, his own mood suddenly became even worse. He was working hard for the Xia family outside, but this woman turned out to be a good person. She only cared about spending money to satisfy her needs and did not consider his feelings at all. Such a woman was not worthy at all. Not worthy of the word "good wife".
But after hearing what the boy said, Xia Zhihe felt that Li was doing something right. Otherwise, how could the terms "outer room" and "madam" appear? If it is so accurate, does it mean Feng Qianqian and Li?
As for whether it was a coincidence, Xia Zhihe felt that it shouldn't be the case. After all, the possibility of such a coincidence was too low.
Although Xia Zhihe didn't know why Li didn't come to trouble him, he wished it was so. It would be better not to cause trouble for him, so he wouldn't go to his door and talk to Li about it. Wouldn't that be asking for it? Not happy?
As for Feng Qianqian whose whereabouts were unknown, Xia Zhihe still felt a pity. After what happened yesterday, he had really considered bringing Feng Qianqian into the Xia Mansion to be his aunt in the future, but he didn't expect that something would happen just one night later.
But it's just a pity. There is no sadness at all, and it is even more impossible to go through a lot of trouble to find someone, because based on his understanding of the Li family and the treatment of the Li family over the years, including the grandson of Xia Luotong's mother's family. With the help of his family, he estimated that Feng Qianqian was already in danger.
Therefore, Xia Zhihe just told the young man: "If Madam did not mention this matter, then it will be treated as if it has never happened and will not be mentioned again. As for Feng Qianqian... just look for it, if you can't find it, forget it." Yes, but remember not to disturb the lady."
The servant has been with Xia Zhihe for many years and has served him personally. Why can't he understand what Xia Zhihe means? This dispensable attitude naturally means that he has basically given up looking for Feng Qianqian. Therefore, although the boy said yes, he had already made up his mind not to look for Feng Qianqian.
Seeing that the boy agreed, Xia Zhihe nodded, and then thought of another thing he mentioned just now: "You just said that there was a banquet at the Fengguo Duke's mansion?"
The boy said hurriedly: "Yes, the invitation has been sent to the house. Time is a bit tight. It is said that the banquet was held at last minute."
Xia Zhihe raised his eyebrows, suddenly thought of something, and immediately understood the purpose of the banquet held by Fengguo Duke's Mansion.
The Lei family of Fengguo Gongfu is the queen's maternal family. Lei Guogong is the queen's father. The current Crown Prince is the biological brother of the queen's mother. Even the eldest daughter of Lei Crown Prince is the crown prince. The princes are cousins.
Such a close relationship further proves that Feng Guogong is a staunch princeling. As people of the same camp, it is normal for the Duke's office to send invitations.
The Fengguo Duke's Mansion is different from Li's natal family, the Li Mansion. It is the prince's mother's family and is the one Xia Zhihe needs to please, so he still attaches some importance to this banquet.
Suddenly remembering something, Xia Zhihe said to the servant: "Go to Madam's house later and tell her to take Hongzhang with her that day and pack everything properly. I heard that the Crown Princess's biological sister is the direct descendant of the Duke's Mansion. The second young lady has not yet decided to get married."
If you can become an in-law with the Duke of Fengguo, wouldn't that mean you are also related to the prince? Naturally, Xia Zhihe didn't want to miss such a good thing, and he believed that Li wouldn't miss this opportunity either.
The boy was smart and immediately understood Xia Zhihe's intention and took the order to leave.
As for Xia Zhihe, he glanced at the study and found that the depression in his heart had not dissipated at all, but now that Feng Qianqian was missing, he could only find another place to relieve his stress.
Thinking of Mrs. Li, he felt irritated again, and immediately decided to find Sun Jiaolan. This matter had to be done as soon as possible...
Xia Luotong waited for a whole day before Wu Haoying came to report the Xia family's affairs. She knew it must be because there was no movement in the Xia Mansion, and even Xia Zhihe didn't look for Feng Qianqian, so Wu Haoying didn't come.
She expected Xia Zhihe's indifference. After all, how could such a profit-seeking and extremely selfish person care about a mere outsider? I am afraid that he may not pay much attention to his close relatives such as Mrs. Xia, Xia Zhilu and Xia Hongzhang.
Xia Luotong waited until Wu Zechen returned home after finishing his work at night, and at the same time brought two pieces of news back to him.
"The prince has asked for a marriage, and the emperor has agreed and issued a decree. Zheng Chunhua, the legitimate daughter of the Zheng family of the Northern Army, will marry the prince as his concubine. The marriage will be completed when the Qin Tianjian chooses a date." As soon as Wu Zechen came back, he This matter was told to Xia Luotong.
Xia Luotong raised his eyes, but he was not surprised. In fact, many people in the capital had already guessed the marriage between the two.
As the legitimate daughter of the Zheng family, it was only a matter of time for Zheng Chunhua to marry the prince in order to have a closer relationship with the prince. Just as Zheng Chunhua's aunt married Prince Lei, Zheng Chunhua's aunt is now the crown prince's concubine in the Duke's Mansion.
Just thinking of Zheng Chunhua, Xia Luotong suddenly raised the corners of his lips and revealed a sarcastic smile: "It's hard work, Your Highness the Crown Prince. He loves beauty so much, but now he has to marry Zheng Chunhua, who is completely out of his reach." A woman with a bottom line in aesthetics.”
Zheng Chunhua is actually not ugly, but compared with the pretty ladies in the aristocratic circle, he is really not good-looking, let alone the extremely beautiful prince.
However, Xia Luotong had no other thoughts about this except ridicule. This prince really disgusted her and even thought about her. How could she not hate him?
Wu Zechen gently stroked Xia Luotong's cheek, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes, because Xia Luotong, whom the prince missed, was his woman.
He continued: "There is another matter, which is related to this. In five days, Fengguo Duke's Mansion will hold a Spring Festival banquet. One of the purposes is to celebrate Zheng Chunhua's upcoming marriage to the prince as a concubine. At this banquet, The Duke's Mansion invited many people, and also sent invitations to the Prince's Mansion, do you want to attend?"
Wu Zechen did not force Xia Luotong. If she was unwilling to go, then he would refuse the invitation. For him, Xia Luotong's wishes were more important.
"A lot of people were invited?" Xia Luotong raised her eyebrows, but did not refuse immediately because she thought about how many accounts she had yet to settle!
"Yes, in addition to announcing that Zheng Chunhua is about to marry the prince, this banquet at the Duke's Palace also has the purpose of selecting someone for the second daughter of the Duke's Palace, so many people have been invited to the banquet."
