Wu Zechen's expression froze, and he quickly explained: "I'm not sure, I just feel that she wanted to approach me, and when she faced me, her attitude was a little different from others, so I made a guess. It might just be Lei Guogong and others. Maybe someone has some agenda."
He paused and then hurriedly added: "I only have you in my heart, and I definitely didn't look at her twice."
Xia Luotong raised her eyebrows and looked at Wu Zechen. It was extremely rare for her to see a nervous look in Wu Zechen's eyes. After all, this man usually looked like he was facing a huge collapse without changing his expression.
She couldn't help but chuckle, and the look on her face instantly softened. She actually knew very well in her heart that even if Wu Zechen didn't explain, she believed that Wu Zechen couldn't have any intention towards the Lord of Ruirong County.
She is not a cold and heartless machine. She can clearly feel Wu Zechen's feelings for her, and she also believes that he treats her wholeheartedly, at least for now, so she is willing to give Wu Zechen enough trust.
"I know, I didn't doubt you." Xia Luotong reached out and pinched Wu Zechen's cheek in a funny way. He found that the touch felt surprisingly good, so he couldn't help pinching it again, and then continued, "So, you also think It’s more likely that this is the Lord of Ruirong County, right?”
"Yes." Wu Zechen responded frankly.
He allowed Xia Luotong's little hands to make trouble on his face, but he didn't show any displeasure at all. He even let her do it with a smile in his eyes, without moving a muscle, let alone resisting.
The usually stern and unsmiling person gave her all his tenderness and smile. No one else except her would have had the chance to do such a thing, not even Mu Jinyu.
Looking at the good-tempered Wu Zechen, Xia Luotong's eyes were filled with smiles, and the slight displeasure that had just arisen suddenly disappeared.
After all, it is not a pleasant thing for a man to be taken care of again. Even if he trusts Wu Zechen again, he will still be unhappy if he should be unhappy.
What Xia Luotong didn't expect was that the head of Ruirong County would actually be interested in Wu Zechen. Such a cold and aloof lady, who seemed to look down on everyone, actually fell in love with Wu Zechen.
However, Xia Luotong didn't notice anything strange about Ruirong County Lord towards him today. Maybe he was focusing on those people, so he didn't pay too much attention to Ruirong County Lord, but he didn't expect it. Such a situation.
However, the identity of Ruirong County Lord...
Thinking of this, Xia Luotong couldn't help but say: "If the Lord of Ruirong County is really interested in you, then does she mean that she is in Cao's camp and her heart is in Han?"
As she said this, she couldn't help but laugh.
Wu Zechen looked at Xia Luotong helplessly. Although he could not fully understand what she said, the meaning was there. He was obviously talking about the Lord of Ruirong County, Feng Guogong, who was in the prince's camp, but he was thinking about it in his heart. Regarding Prince An.
"Nowadays, several forces are still maintaining superficial peace. Even if they take any actions, they are all private. Therefore, Ruirong County Lord Xu is not aware of the relationship."
What Wu Zechen said is true. After all, not all women in the inner house are as knowledgeable about the affairs of the court as Xia Luotong, Xi Menghan and others. In fact, most of them only care about the affairs of the inner house and are trapped in the inner house. Within that square inch.
Wu Zechen thought for a while and then said, "However, we cannot rule out another possibility. The Lord Ruirong approaching me may be the intention of Duke Lei Guo, and he may have other plans."
This possibility does exist, but it is unlikely. Wu Zechen and Xia Luotong both know this.
As the head of Ruirong County, marriage can bring greater benefits to the family. This is the most common among large families, especially a family like Fengguo Gongfu who is obsessed with climbing up. The plot is very big, otherwise it would not be possible. After they gave birth to a queen, they also sent their daughter to the palace as the crown princess. They would love their daughter, but they could not overcome this hurdle.
As for using Ruirong County Lord to infiltrate the forces of Prince An's Mansion, this is also possible, but for Fengguo Palace, it does not seem to be very cost-effective, and Ruirong County Lord's origin has destined her to be impossible. Gaining the trust of Prince An, not to mention other things.
In particular, now that Prince An's Mansion already has a mistress, it is impossible for the Lady of Ruirong County to be a concubine. Unless Xia Luotong's name is removed from the royal jade plate, even if the Lady of Ruirong County enters the palace, she will not be able to become a concubine. It can only be a step-in-law. It is naturally impossible for the Duke of Fengguo to do such a thing.
But no matter what the possibility is, Wu Zechen will not take it lightly when it comes to Xia Luotong's safety: "I will find out about this matter and tell you the specific situation when the time comes."
Now that Wu Zechen said this, Xia Luotong felt relieved. Then he thought of tonight's incident and asked: "Since Li has done this, I think he will arrange for the person who reported the news to go back. What did you do to that person?" ?”
"Don't worry, that person has gone back to report the news." Wu Zechen knew that Xia Luotong would be thinking about this, so he smiled and scratched her small nose and replied.
"So, Mrs. Li should be bringing someone here soon, right?"
As Xia Luotong was talking, he suddenly heard a lot of noise coming from outside the house. When he heard it, he knew that many people were walking towards the house.
With this movement, Xia Luotong had a slight sneer on his face, and he really couldn't help but think, isn't this coming?
At this time, a large number of people were approaching outside the house. Many ladies, ladies, and even many young men also came. At this time, they were following two servants of Fengguo Duke's Mansion, all the way. It refers to the wing room in this secluded place.
"This place is really remote. Even people from the Duke's Mansion don't usually come here, right?" A young lady in the crowd said pointedly.
She didn't deliberately lower her voice, so most people on the trip heard it, but this was exactly what everyone was thinking at this time. For a moment, everyone's faces looked a little weird, and they were hesitant to leave. , there are also some who look excited and want to wait for a good show.
In fact, the two groups of people were not together at the beginning, but they happened to come to one place during the search process, and found that they seemed to be heading in the same direction, so they chose to go together.
During the banquet just now, a group of young masters discovered that one of the young masters was missing and couldn't find him, so they went out to look for him together. As a result, they met a servant of the Duke's mansion who said he had seen the young master. Following the servant's search, he met these ladies and ladies who were also looking for someone.
