After all, what happened to the Jiang family not long ago was not a big deal, but who would have thought that it would actually drag the entire Jiang family into a state of despair? The dignified young master of the prince has now been reduced to the position of county magistrate in a border town. He has been demoted thousands of miles away. He will never return to the capital again in this life!
Nowadays, there is an undercurrent surging in the capital. Several forces are watching each other, waiting to find out the mistakes of others at any time. Therefore, in order to prevent the Xu family from repeating the mistakes of the Jiang family, prevent the Xu family from becoming the target of siege by other forces, and let the prince's camp suffer further Impact, this time the queen took action very decisively.
Xia Luotong, who had figured this out, naturally didn't think anything of it. He leaned back in his chair with a leisurely look on his face, and even admired the completely stunned look of Concubine Xu Bie in a very good mood. .
Concubine Xu Zong really didn't expect that this happened so suddenly. ! Only one night has passed, less than half a day has passed today, how come it has already developed to this point? Not only did his niece die, but his eldest brother was also implicated? !
In fact, the fact that Xu Caidi's matter developed so rapidly is really due to Xia Luotong's contribution, and of course He Jingyao's contribution. If it weren't for the large number of people at the scene last night, Xu Caidi's previous evil deeds There are too many, too many people are involved, and this matter will not spread quickly throughout the capital with the combined efforts of many people...
Since both the imperial edict and the imperial edict have arrived at the Xu family, Xu Caidi is expected to be gone by now.
Everyone immediately started talking about it, but everyone had been in the west courtyard of Prince An's Mansion all morning and didn't know much about the situation at all. All the news they got was brought by Princess An.
Just when Concubine Xu was still in shock and had not come back to her senses, Mrs. Jin started shouting loudly. With red eyes, she wanted Concubine Xu to give an explanation. Her excitement was evident in the past few days. I was often saddened by the scars on Miss Jin’s face.
Xia Luotong was very sympathetic to the Jin mother and daughter. She had some impressions of the mother and daughter. Mrs. Jin often attended banquets and seemed to be a very gentle and easy-to-get-to person. This was the first time she met Mrs. Jin. I guess it’s because of my damaged appearance, so I don’t like to go out very much on weekdays.
She had been a little puzzled before. After several banquets, she found that Mrs. Jin seemed to be very anxious to set a marriage for her daughter. When chatting with other ladies, she mostly talked about this topic.
She didn't pay much attention at first, because there was no dispute, so she didn't ask too much. It wasn't until Xu Caidi's maid mentioned it last night that she finally understood. It turned out that Miss Jin had scars on her face, so Jin That's why Madam would take such great pains to find her husband's family.
At this time, Xia Luotong felt a little emotional when he saw Mrs. Jin, who was usually very gentle, making a fuss. After all, there were not that many ladies from aristocratic families who truly loved their daughters like Mrs. Jin.
When Mrs. Jin made a fuss, Consort Xu woke up, but she had no idea at this time. After talking for a while, she finally had to shirk: "Mrs. Jin, I have been married to Prince An's palace for more than 20 years, not to mention Xu Caidi is a girl from the Xu family, not the lady of our Prince An's Mansion, nor is she my daughter. If you ask me for an explanation, there is nothing I can do!"
Although Concubine Xu's words were meant to be evasive, they were indeed true. Mrs. Jin was just angry, so she grabbed Concubine Xu, who was also a daughter of the Xu family, and held on to her. When the concubine said this, she realized what she was doing.
At that moment, Mrs. Jin didn't stay any longer. She didn't even say hello to Concubine Xu. She directly took the hand of the daughter next to her and walked out of the pavilion angrily. Apparently she planned to go straight to the Xu Mansion to ask for an explanation.
Seeing that Mrs. Jin was so disrespectful to her, Concubine Xu's face was not very good-looking, but thinking of being so embarrassed in front of everyone, she was in an extremely bad mood, and she wanted to tear Xia Luotong aside. It was all caused by this woman on purpose!
Otherwise, why would he choose to hold a banquet and come here to talk about this when there are so many guests? ! Isn't it just to embarrass myself? !
Just as the Jin mother and daughter left in a hurry, and Concubine Xu was secretly annoyed, the guests present calmly exchanged glances with the people around them, and they all began to think about retreating.
Obviously, the Xu family is now at the cusp of the storm. Although Dowager Xu has been married for many years, she is still the daughter of the Xu family. She has always had a close relationship with the Xu family and often visits each other. At this time, she is also interacting with the Xu family. I'm afraid it will cause others to look down upon me!
If people think that they have a good relationship with the Xu family, or even that their children have a good relationship with Xu Caidie, wouldn't it mean that Xu Caidie's reputation is in vain? !
Thinking of this, some people immediately couldn't sit still, and immediately said to Concubine Xu: "Concubine Concubine Xu, I'm really sorry. Just now I suddenly remembered that I had something to do at home that I forgot to deal with. I will come to visit you another day. Today I will start. Farewell."
How could Concubine Xu not see the twists and turns here? Although she was extremely unhappy in her heart, it was impossible for her to seriously break up with others, not to mention that it was impossible for her to detain others in the house.
So she could only smile very reluctantly and responded: "Since you still have something to do, go ahead and do it first."
Since someone took the lead in this matter, the others no longer hesitated, and even seemed to be afraid that they would be in trouble if they left late. They said goodbye one after another, and the reasons were basically the same. Obviously, everyone was too lazy. I have to think of another reason. After all, no matter how fanciful the words are, Princess Xu is not really stupid. How can she not know the real reason?
Later, Princess Xu didn't even have time to reply. She just nodded and sent away all the guests one by one with a smile that was uglier than crying. No one wanted to stay at such a time!
When the last guest left, Xia Luotong slowly stood up, took one last look at Concubine Xu's ugly face, and the way Wu Zhengqing and Wu Qingqing turned their heads with a groan, and then slowly spoke.
"Today's banquet was really lively! Concubine Xu Zi will have to hold more banquets in the future!"
After Xia Luotong said this, without waiting for Concubine Xu Tong's response, she chuckled and walked out of the pavilion.
Just when he was about to step out of the pavilion, he suddenly stopped and turned back slightly to add: "Just remember to pay for the banquet yourself. After all, a concubine doesn't have that much money to spend."
