Xia Zhilu is said to have a lively temperament, how can she sit in this waterside pavilion? He should have chosen to play with the gentlemen and ladies outside. Why did he follow in?
Xia Luotong had just sat down and was wondering why Xia Zhilu was acting strange today, when Xia Zhilu revealed the reason herself.
"Sister, did you come to the banquet alone today? Why didn't the prince come with you?" Xia Zhilu asked pretending to be innocent, carefully concealing her thoughts.
Although they were close and she didn't speak loudly, there were still many ladies around. She didn't want to attract too many people's attention before attracting Prince An's attention.
So it was for Wu Zechen?
Xia Luotong raised her eyebrows, her heart full of ridicule. She didn't expect that Xia Zhilu was really focused on identifying her man?
"Your Majesty is busy with something, but he will come to take me back later." Xia Luotong deliberately showed a sweet look and said with a smile. At that moment, Xia Zhilu's face was a little stiff.
Xia Luotong sneered inwardly, and then asked casually: "Second sister, what's the matter? But you have something to ask my prince? I told my sister the same thing, and I will help you convey it to the prince later."
As soon as Xia Luotong said these words, the atmosphere suddenly became uncomfortable. Some of the ladies and ladies around who heard the conversation between the two of them looked at Xia Zhilu calmly, with some inexplicable expressions in their eyes. means.
Not to mention anyone else, even Mr. Li, who was sitting next to Xia Zhilu, couldn't help but frown and looked at her biological daughter next to her with a hint of suspicion.
Xia Zhilu never expected that Xia Luotong would say such words, which instantly made everyone think that way, which really made her very angry!
She doesn’t want others to know her thoughts yet! Especially Li! Because she knew very well that if Mrs. Li knew that she had such thoughts about Prince An, she would definitely try her best to stop him!
Xia Zhilu secretly gritted her teeth and hurriedly said, "My sister has nothing to do with the prince. She was just thinking about the love between her and the prince. Why did the prince not accompany her today? I was curious, so I wanted to pay attention to my sister."
As she spoke, she carefully looked at Xia Luotong's expression. She couldn't help but wonder, had Xia Luotong already noticed her thoughts? That's why you said that on purpose?
However, Xia Zhilu couldn't tell any clues from Xia Luotong's face. Xia Luotong's face always looked like she wanted to show off her excellent relationship with Prince An.
Xia Zhilu couldn't help but secretly thought, maybe she was overthinking.
Xia Zhilu's statement made sense. After all, this was indeed the case when Xia Luotong went to the banquet before, so everyone accepted her statement and stopped gossiping. Even Li Shi also withdrew his suspicious eyes.
Xia Luotong looked at Xia Zhilu quietly breathing a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sneered inwardly. Xia Zhilu really took herself as a fool!
Several times before, Xia Zhilu clearly wanted to get close to Wu Zechen. Could it be that he still couldn't tell what Xia Zhilu was thinking?
I only thought of covering it up at this time. Is it too late?
However, Xia Luotong did not dwell on this matter anymore, but turned to talk about another matter, which was also one of the purposes of her coming to the Fengguo Duke's Mansion for the banquet.
"When the second sister said this, I remembered something." Xia Luotong suddenly spoke, his eyes falling directly on Mrs. Li, which made the latter's heart skip a beat, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose.
Xia Luotong paused deliberately and saw a slight change in Mrs. Li's expression. Then she chuckled and said, "Last time when Lingshan Pavilion opened, I happened to meet my second sister in Lingshan Pavilion. Why?" Looking at my sister, I don’t know that Lingshan Pavilion is my property? And from what my second sister said, Mrs. Xia doesn’t know about it either?”
As soon as these words came out, Li felt even more uneasy. She couldn't figure out why Xia Luotong mentioned this matter at this time. After all, Xia Luotong should know very well that Xia Zhilu had already told her about it. That's it.
Just listen to Xia Luotong continue: "Didn't Mr. Xia tell you that Lingshan Pavilion was originally owned by the Sun family of my natal family? Not long ago, the emperor spoke, and Mr. Xia transferred the properties that originally belonged to the Sun family. Return it to me."
Xia Luotong deliberately put on a curious look and asked: "I heard that Mrs. Xia is taking care of the Xia family's property. Is this all misinformation? The Sun family's property is not handed over to Mrs. Xia. Take care of it?"
As soon as these words came out, they once again attracted the attention of many ladies around them. Everyone pricked up their ears and paid attention to the conversation here.
You must know that Mrs. Li has always been the object of envy in the circle of ladies in the capital. Mrs. Li even likes to show off wherever she goes. Either how Xia Zhihe dotes on and respects her, or how her children are filial. She is really envious of bad people. He has met many ladies, after all, there are many troubles in most high-end mansions.
When they suddenly heard the news, all the ladies immediately became interested. Could it be that Mrs. Li has been bragging? In fact, are they the same as everyone else?
At this time, Mrs. Li also noticed the changes in the people around her, and felt very angry in her heart. She didn't expect that Xia Luotong had such a thought? Do you want to make yourself a laughing stock in front of everyone and embarrass yourself?
I won't let Xia Luotong get her wish!
Mrs. Li immediately smiled and said quite naturally: "Of course your father told me, and the Xia family's property was indeed handed over to me. It's just that the shop in Lingshan Pavilion is owned by Sun." Your father originally wanted to hand over the family property to me, but I refused to avoid suspicion. Therefore, your father has been taking care of it himself all these years, and we did not let your younger brothers and sisters know about it. .”
When she said these words, the expression on Ms. Li's face was as if she was dealing with an unreasonable person. But on her face, she looked generous and decent, but in fact, she was already so angry that she wanted to pounce on the woman in front of her and tear her face off. !
Because of this matter, she almost quarreled with Xia Zhihe. Although Xia Zhihe later coaxed her away, she always felt that something was different about Xia Zhihe, but she couldn't tell what it was.
And for several days afterwards, Xia Zhihe slept in the study. Although this had happened before, she felt that this time was different.
