"Mom, please don't be angry. How can you still not know how your father has treated you over the years? Moreover, my father is now the Minister of Rites, so he has a lot to do. Maybe he was busy with official business and was delayed for a long time. There were times like this in the past." Xia Zhilu tried to persuade her, which was a rare opportunity to speak up for Xia Zhihe.
In fact, in the past, she would have helped Li and would not speak for Xia Zhihe at all. Recently, the reason why she has turned more and more towards Xia Zhihe is because Xia Zhihe supported her plan to enter the palace and even gave her advice, so Only then did she change the direction.
Ms. Li didn't notice anything strange about her daughter. She was just immersed in the anger of being deceived for so many years. She couldn't listen to the advice of others. She didn't even go to greet Mrs. Xia today and didn't even send someone to inform her. No, he directly ignored Mrs. Xia.
Although the greetings before were just a show, and she looked down on that old woman with a rough background at all, she was not as straightforward as today. Even the old lady sent by Mrs. Xia to inquire was dismissed by her. Don't give Mrs. Xia face.
The angry Mrs. Li was too lazy to pay attention to so much and just followed her own heart. In her opinion, what would happen even if Mrs. Xia was angry with her because of this?
The entire Xia family relies on the Li family to be what they are today. The entire Xia family should support her. How dare they do anything to her?
"What's wrong with the Minister of Rites? Isn't it the position that our Li family helped him occupy? He did such a thing and lied to me for so many years. Doesn't he have any idea in his heart? If he doesn't come back and explain to me clearly, what else can he do? What could be more important than this?" Li said irritably, with such a sharp voice that even Xia Zhilu couldn't help but frown.
This was the first time that Xia Zhilu felt impatient because of Li's appearance. Although she had seen her many times before, Li would be so emotional whenever Xia Zhihe made Li displeased.
But now Xia Zhilu is feeling increasingly impatient. Now all she can think about is Prince An. How can she care so much about the Li family? What's more, it was Li who made her unable to marry into Prince An's palace!
If Mrs. Li hadn't blocked the substitute marriage, wouldn't she be Princess An now? And isn’t Prince An’s only favorite person also himself? Why does she need to put in so much effort now?
The more she thought about it, the more angry Xia Zhilu became with Mrs. Li, but she couldn't show it. Seeing Mrs. Li's irritable appearance, she finally resigned impatiently: "Mom, it's late at night, Lu'er. Back to the house."
After hearing this, Mrs. Li waved her hand casually and took it as a yes. At this moment, her mind was completely focused on the fact that Xia Zhihe had lied to her and had not returned home. How could she still have the leisure to care about her daughter? how?
When Xia Zhilu saw this, she became more and more dissatisfied. She bowed angrily and left the main room.
As soon as she returned to her courtyard, she thought for a moment and finally called the maid, and asked the maid to go find Xia Zhihe's confidant who stayed in the house to send a message and explain the Li family's situation.
Looking at the leaving maid, Xia Zhilu gritted her teeth secretly and made up her mind.
She didn't feel it before, she just thought that Mr. Li loved her and her twin brother equally, but since Xia Luotong married into Prince An's palace, she no longer felt that way.
After careful observation during this period, she found that Li still loved her brother Xia Hongzhang more than herself. Although it was not obvious in front of her, she still felt it.
Li's partiality made Xia Zhilu, who originally felt that her good marriage had been disturbed, even more angry. Her father, who was only "thinking about" herself, apparently gradually gained Xia Zhilu's trust.
Since Mrs. Li doesn’t value her rear half, it’s up to her to fight for it!
At the same time, in an elegant house in a deep alley somewhere, Xia Zhihe had just gotten up from the bed and was putting on his middle coat when a servant came outside the door to ask for an audience.
When Xia Zhihe heard the voice, he found out that it was his servant who stayed in the house, so he let the servant in and went to the other end of the room alone to talk privately.
After hearing the boy's low reply, Xia Zhihe's face suddenly turned cold, and his originally relaxed and cheerful eyes were suddenly stained with a sinister look.
"Is this the message sent to you by the young lady?" he asked the boy with a cold face.
"Yes, it should be true. There was a lot of fuss over Madam's side. The servants in the mansion have heard about it. Madam has arranged for people to wait for the Master at the two gates." The young man lowered his head. He replied carefully.
In fact, he didn't dare to tell the whole story, for fear of angering the master and walking around without food.
Nowadays, most of the servants in the house are from the Li family, and some of them don't take the master's words to heart. After all, the master listens to his wife in everything. In the long run, who will really take the master's words to heart? They even secretly joked that the master really relied on the Li family.
Although the boy said it in a vague way, how could Xia Zhihe not understand it? Immediately, his face became a little gloomier again, and he clenched his fists tightly!
What a Li! I really don’t take him seriously! How could he, the head of the family, be spoken of like this in front of his servants? Where is his majesty? Where is the face? !
It seems that it is time for me to let Mrs. Li know who is the head of the family! In this family, who should we listen to?
The remaining inexplicable feeling towards Mr. Li that remained in Xia Zhihe's heart finally disappeared completely, and there was no trace of affection in his cold eyes.
"I know, you go back to the house and keep an eye on it first. If anything happens, come back and report it. I won't be going back to the house today!" Xia Zhihe waved his hand and said coldly.
The boy was stunned after hearing this, and subconsciously looked up at Xia Zhihe. He felt that something was different about his master, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.
Realizing that his move was inappropriate, the young man quickly lowered his head again, bowed and walked out, closing the door behind him.
Xia Zhihe stood there and calmed down, turned to look at the bed curtain on the other side, his expression finally calmed down, and he slowly raised a proud smile.
Walking back to the bed again, taking off the middle coat he had just put on, Xia Zhihe returned to the bed again, hugging the shy and tender person into his arms: "Jiaojiao, my so Jiaojiao, you are still the best." Know how to feel sorry for others.”
"Master~! You can say good things to make Jiaojiao happy." Sun Jiaolan buried her head in Xia Zhihe's chest and asked with a twinkle in her eyes, "Why are you here again? Aren't you going back?"
