"because……"
The maid showed hesitation and glanced secretly at Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li's heart suddenly tightened and she felt an ominous premonition.
really……
The maid seemed to have mustered up the courage and said, "Because at the banquet just now, the lady did not allow my aunt to sit down and asked my aunt to stand aside to serve. Maybe she was hungry after standing for a long time, so..."
Although the maid didn't finish what she said, Xia Zhihe understood what it meant. Looking at the ladies and ladies sitting at the same table with Mr. Li, they all looked like they were watching the fun. It was obvious that what the maid said was true, and what happened just now was indeed true. That's it.
He never imagined that Mrs. Li could ignore the overall situation to such an extent. At such a banquet, she would be so petty and jealous. It was really an embarrassment to the Xia family!
At this time, not to mention Xia Zhihe, even Mr. Li Ge's face became more gloomy. He looked at Mr. Li with a look full of hatred. Even he felt that any woman like this would be dishonorable!
"You bitch! Who gave you the courage to talk nonsense?! When did I..."
Li hurriedly defended herself, trying to ease the situation, but Xia Zhihe didn't give her this chance at all.
At this time, Xia Zhihe's face was extremely gloomy. He picked up Sun Jiaolan and walked out of the palace on the spot. He didn't want to listen to Li's excuses. There had been enough commotion in the house recently, how could he still not know what happened today?
Xia Zhihe walked away, followed closely by Mr. Sun and Mr. Li Ge. No one paid any attention to Mr. Li who stayed there, and they were all gone in the blink of an eye.
Mrs. Li watched helplessly as her husband and father left. No one was willing to listen to her. She almost overturned the table out of anger, but luckily the last trace of reason brought her back.
She is also pregnant with Xia Zhihe's flesh and blood! Why is there such a big difference? ! Sun Jiaolan is just a cheap concubine, how can she compare to the legitimate son in her belly! ?
Seeing that Xia Zhihe and others were gone, the ladies who had no dealings with Mr. Li started laughing unceremoniously.
"Oh! So this is Mrs. Xia's special pet! Then I really can't compare to it!"
"Isn't that right? The husband carried his concubine and left in public, but he left his wife on the spot without giving him any good looks. We don't dare to ask for such special favor, and suddenly we feel that our life is quite comfortable. of."
"If I were a man, I wouldn't be able to stand a wife like this."
In the past, Mrs. Li often showed off this matter in front of these ladies, and even showed off while mocking the ladies who were not having an easy time in the house. So now she took the opportunity to show off the ladies who had been stepped on by Mr. Li. Naturally, he will come back with ridicule.
Ms. Li, who was already so angry with Xia Zhihe that she couldn't keep her expression straight, was now being pointed at by everyone again. She just felt embarrassed and humiliated. However, the anger in her heart was of no help. There was no way she could retaliate against so many people in public. .
Finally, Mrs. Li, who no longer had the shame to stay at the banquet, left the East Palace with a pair of children, as if fleeing.
Even after Ms. Li had left for a long time, the banquet was still discussing what had just happened. I was afraid that Ms. Li would not dare to go out for a long time this time.
Xia Luotong sat leisurely in his seat eating and drinking. Thinking of Xia Zhilu who had been dragged away by Mrs. Li with a face full of reluctance just now, she felt that the whole family was living like a joke.
After eating eighty cents full, Xia Luotong closed his hands with satisfaction. He looked up again and found that Wu Zechen was nowhere to be seen.
Are you busy with something?
Xia Luotong was a little surprised, because Wu Zechen said that he would stay near her today because he was afraid that something would happen to her, but now he was nowhere to be seen.
Xia Luotong looked around and didn't find Wu Zechen, but she didn't care too much, because Wu Zechen did have a lot of things to be busy with. Maybe he happened to encounter something important, and it wasn't necessary to leave for a while.
Originally, I wanted to wait in the palace until Wu Zechen came back, and then take me out of the East Palace, but maybe because I had eaten a lot just now, I wanted to clean the room now.
Taking Lindong with him, Xia Luotong went all the way to the clean room, but unexpectedly he heard some news in the clean room.
"Did you just see it? Prince An and County Lord Ruirong were having a private meeting in that secluded place!"
As soon as the words came together, Xia Luotong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Is this directed at him again? Why does it start like this every time?
This reminded her of the New Year's Eve palace banquet. It was also in the clean room of the palace. He Jingyao and Xu Caidi designed to seduce her. As a result, both of them have now returned to the underworld.
She raised the corners of her lips, showing a silent smile, and quietly listened to the conversation in the clean room next door.
"I saw it! I didn't expect that Prince An and Princess Ruirong were at odds with each other! Don't they all say that Prince An only favors Princess An?"
"What do you know! What is Princess An's background? What is the background of Lord Ruirong? Can the two be compared? Princess An is just a temporary novelty. After all, the princess is indeed beautiful, but when it comes to status, Prince An will naturally choose the head of Ruirong County!"
"That's right. I just saw that Prince An and County Lord Ruirong were very close to each other! What stage do you think they have reached?"
"Maybe we have reached the last step!"
"Oh! How embarrassing!"
…
The two men left the clean room while talking. Xia Luotong didn't come out until the voices completely faded away.
"Do you know whose lady those two people who went out next door just now belong to?" Xia Luotong looked at the end of the path where no one had been seen, raised a faint smile, and asked Lindong softly beside him.
Lindong had been standing outside the clean room just now, so he naturally saw the appearance of the two people. As for the content of the conversation between the two, the sound insulation of the clean room was not good. For Lindong, if he wanted to hear what they said clearly, Nature is not a problem.
Lindong understood what Xia Luotong meant and immediately replied: "I will confirm it later."
Xia Luotong nodded and said nothing more.
Lindong looked at Xia Luotong carefully and relaxed a little when he saw that there was no abnormal color on her face.
Xia Luotong naturally noticed Lindong's little movements and couldn't help but laugh: "Girl, are you afraid that I will believe it?"
"The princess is wise! Of course she won't believe the words of such villains!"
Lindong replied quickly, but Xia Luotong was amused and gave her a funny look.
"There is still a little bit of trust between the prince and I. Naturally, I won't believe their lies. I just don't know what the purpose of their move is and who instigated it." Xia Luotong thought for a while and then said, "You We will investigate this matter together later, and now we should go back to the banquet hall."
