Xu Caidi's incident was suddenly exposed, and there was an uproar in the capital. After all, no one expected that such a charming person would turn out to be a snake-hearted person dressed in the skin of a beautiful woman. Everyone had been kept in the dark before. Out of the blue!
As soon as the evil deeds Xu Caidi had done were exposed, it immediately caused an uproar. After people spread it by word of mouth, it soon spread throughout the capital. The path found out about this.
After the initial shock, what followed was burning anger. Some aristocratic families who were not inferior to the Xu family immediately came to the Xu family to ask for explanations, and those whose family backgrounds were slightly weaker than the Xu family's When people see someone taking the lead, they follow suit.
For a time, the Xu family's courtyard was very lively, but this liveliness was not what the Xu family wanted. It was even like a nightmare to them. At this time, the entire Xu family had only one thought, and that was that they wished Xu Caidi died. !
When Xia Luotong got the news from Wu Manying, he was studying in the room a handkerchief with dried poisonous blood that Wu Zechen had given him. The bloodstains on this handkerchief were exactly what Prince Lao An vomited when he was dying. poisonous blood.
When she was in Anyuan Town before, Xia Luotong had said that she would help Wu Zechen check on the poisonous blood. These days, she has been busy doing this whenever she has free time.
However, even if the dried blood stains were extremely well preserved, after more than ten years, what could be found was very limited, and Xia Luotong could only do his best.
After hearing the news about Xu Caidi and the Xu Mansion, Xia Luotong asked with a smile on her lips: "How is Xu Cadie? Has the Xu family made any arrangements?"
"Not yet. I only know that they are temporarily locked up. But I heard that even if they are not sent to a nunnery, they will be expelled from the family and left to fend for themselves. After all, it is not easy to get over these two situations." Wu Manying's face was full of excitement. said.
Generally, if a noble girl from a big family makes a mistake, being sent to a nunnery is a relatively severe punishment, while being expelled from the family is a punishment that can only be imposed if she commits an unforgivable mistake.
In Xia Luotong's view, if something like today happened and so many families came to the Xu family to ask for an explanation, the Xu family would have to pay a lot of money to appease these people.
And more importantly, after this incident, the Xu family has lost a lot of face, and the subsequent negative impact is that it will be difficult for the Xu family's daughters to find a family in the future. The Xu family wants to grow stronger through marriage. The idea of establishing a stable position was basically in vain.
The various adverse consequences that Xu Caidi has brought to the Xu family are destined to not end well for her. At least in Xia Luotong's view, such an "extremely light" punishment of being sent to a nunnery is unlikely to appear in this world. On Xu Caidi's body.
Xia Luotong lightly tapped the table and suddenly asked: "What is Concubine Xu Zong doing now? Do you know these things?"
Wu Manying had just come back and was not aware of the situation, so Zhuxuan on the side stepped forward and replied: "Concubine Xu Side held a banquet today and invited some people to the house, and the ladies of those families brought their young ladies and The young masters are here, and the banquet has not yet ended, so Princess Xu Side may not know about this yet."
Zhuxuan's words made it very clear that Concubine Xu was looking at her son and daughter again.
Xia Luotong sneered, showing a lot of disgust. It was typical of Concubine Xu that she didn't have a clear understanding of herself and her children. She felt very good about herself, and those with slightly worse family backgrounds couldn't look at it. But she has never considered what her children actually have, and whether they are worthy of the families she likes?
Wu Zhengqing only had the reputation of being a concubine of Prince An, and had no talent or official position. Wu Qingqing did have a lot of ideas, but he didn't use them to enrich himself, and he had almost no talents that he could use.
However, he disliked it, so Xia Luotong immediately started to pack up the things on the table, and at the same time told Zhuxuan and Lindong: "Let's go and tell Concubine Xu Tong the good news, so that she can also be 'happy' .”
From Xia Luotong's point of view, it didn't matter whether Concubine Xu knew about it or not. What was important was that she wanted to tell Concubine Xu in person...
When Xia Luotong rushed to the west courtyard in high spirits, Concubine Xu was talking with a group of ladies in the pavilion in the garden, while the young ladies and gentlemen were playing games outside the pavilion. Being far away actually made the smile on Xia Luotong's face brighter.
"Princess An has arrived!"
Concubine Xu's brows twitched fiercely when the servant's call came out. When she heard the name of this woman Xia Luotong, she gritted her teeth with hatred. She had been humiliated repeatedly, so how could she still do it today? Have the nerve to show up uninvited?
But the incident with the concubine last time had given her a very bad reputation. It was not easy to invite so many people as guests today. Even she felt lucky, so she must not let Xia Luo Tong shows up again!
As soon as Consort Xu adjusted her expression, she saw Xia Luotong walking into the pavilion with a bright smile on her face. Her already extremely beautiful face was now as dazzling and eye-catching as the scorching sun in the sky.
Just by looking at Xia Luotong's smile, one can guess that she must be in a good mood. She even returned the salutes to several of the ladies who saluted her after entering the room.
Before Xia Luotong arrived, the highest-status person present was Concubine Xu Side. In addition, she was the host, so she only had a seat at the head. But when Xia Luotong arrived, Concubine Xu Side just smiled. , but there is no intention of letting people sit down.
Xia Luotong didn't care at all. He chuckled and raised his hand. Lindong, who was beside him, immediately ordered someone to move a chair to the side of Concubine Xu. Then she stepped forward and sat down slowly, with a smile on her face. It didn't move at all from beginning to end, and it was so stable that people couldn't help but admire it.
In this regard, Xia Luotong would never lower his status, especially when facing someone like Princess Xu, because sometimes showing weakness would only make the other party think that he was weak and could be bullied, and then he would be suppressed one after another.
Although Princess Xu was displeased when she saw Xia Luotong acting like this, she was not surprised because it was not the first time that Xia Luotong had done such a thing.
But she still couldn't help but said with a bit of sarcasm: "So the princess is in the palace today? I thought the princess was not here, so I didn't send an invitation to the princess. I didn't expect the princess to come over after hearing the news."
Concubine Xu's words were very clear, she almost said directly: I didn't post to invite you, but you actually rushed over on your own.
