Yue Qinglu, who suddenly thought of this, immediately became nervous, and there was more urgency in his eyes that even he himself was not aware of.
"Senior brother has no intention of Han Yan, and Han Yan doesn't want to pester him anymore. If that's the case, it's natural to have less contact with him. This will be better for everyone. As time goes by, when Han Yan lets go of his heart, everything will be fine. Xia Luotong said with raised eyebrows.
Somehow, when Yue Qinglu heard Xia Luotong say the words "let go", his heart suddenly tightened and he felt a little depressed.
Almost subconsciously, he said: "How about Senior Brother go comfort her..."
"No need."
What Yue Qinglu didn't expect was that Xia Luotong interrupted and rejected the proposal without hesitation.
"Senior brother, if you go over to comfort Han Yan at this time, it will give her a feeling that there is still a chance, making her immersed in unrealistic fantasies and making it even more difficult to get out of it." Xia Luotong looked at Yue Qinglu seriously and said. , "Too much gentleness can sometimes be cruel."
After hearing what Xia Luotong said, Yue Qinglu was completely stunned, but the next moment, he woke up again.
"So, if senior brother really doesn't have such thoughts about cigarettes, then just forget about cigarettes. This will be good for everyone."
"Forget, forget her? Why?" Yue Qinglu didn't even realize that he was having trouble even speaking, and there was only chaos in his mind.
Xia Luotong saw Yue Qinglu's strange behavior and decided to add fuel to the fire: "Because after the emperor's birthday banquet, Hanyan is going to go back to the northwest Si's house."
At this time, Yue Qinglu was really shocked. He stayed in place blankly, looking at Xia Luotong with straight eyes, but without any focus.
Is she leaving the capital and going back to the northwest?
Will we never see each other again after that?
At this time, Yue Qinglu's mind went blank, his heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible big hand, and a faint feeling of suffocation emerged.
"Why is it so sudden? Suddenly... I want to go back..."
He spoke subconsciously, but his voice was already hoarse.
"It's not sudden, it's something I've planned for a long time. If there's no result, I'll go back to the northwest. After all, Hanyan is already seventeen years old, and it's time to plan for marriage. Rather than being cared about by many princes in the capital, it's better to Leave the capital, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible."
Although Xia Luotong didn't explain clearly what the so-called "no results" meant, Yue Qinglu naturally knew it.
But when he thought that Si Hanyan would get married after returning to the northwest, Yue Qinglu became uneasy, and there was a dense tingling feeling in his heart. It was not obvious, but it could not be ignored...
"she……"
When Yue Qinglu wanted to speak again, he found that he was the only one left in the room. It turned out that Xia Luotong had left before he knew it, and he had stood there in a daze for a long time without realizing it.
He raised his slender hand and put it on his heart. The feeling just now had not dissipated yet, it was so real...
He suddenly remembered what Xia Luotong asked him not long ago——
"Do you really just treat Han Ci as your sister?"
His answer at the time was yes, but now, he is not so sure...
Do you really treat Si Hanyan as your sister?
If not, then could it be that I really...
Yue Qinglu fell into confusion. He was vaguely aware of the voice in his heart, but he still couldn't be sure.
Although Xia Luotong wanted to push Yue Qinglu, he also knew that going too far would not be enough, so he didn't say too much and just stopped talking.
Compared to Yue Qinglu's confusion, the Li family was in dire straits, not only because of Sun Jiaolan's pregnancy, Xia Zhihe and Mrs. Xia were all concerned about Sun Jiaolan's affairs, but also because of the recent serious situation in her trousseau shop.
Before the prince's wedding banquet with his concubine, rumors of shoddy goods had been exposed in Li's jewelry shop.
At that time, several guests made trouble, but they were all suppressed by Li secretly. I thought that the matter would just go away, but I didn't expect that the situation would happen again, and it would be more serious than before, because This time, several partners started making trouble!
These partners came to the door one after another and accused the jewelry store of shoddy products. As a result, the partners' reputation was damaged and they lost money after being criticized by customers.
When the partners came to make a fuss, it was a good time for business in the store. There were many customers coming and going, and the matter immediately became a big deal.
Something happened to the jewelry store a few days ago. Now that something happens again, even if it is a time-honored brand, it will inevitably make people suspicious.
The cooperator made such a fuss that many customers who had heard about it and had bought items in the jewelry store went home and took out the items they had purchased. As a result, they took them to other shops for appraisal. Among them were Many items are actually sold as shoddy goods!
This was a complete blow-up. Individual customers who discovered that there was something wrong with the items they purchased also came to ask for explanations, making the matter even worse.
More and more people came to the door, and the situation immediately got out of control. At this moment, a certain official wife with some status also sent her housekeeper to the door, which finally became the last thing that broke the camel's back. straw.
"...Everyone, our store has been operating with integrity for so many years, but it is a time-honored brand in the capital. How could we do something like this and pass it off as a shoddy product? There must be some misunderstanding!" The shopkeeper of the jewelry shop had his head full. He was sweating, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes, but he did not dare to answer the charge of shoddy goods, and he still defended without giving up.
"According to the shopkeeper, it's us who lied and came to make trouble?" The housekeeper spoke back first, with a look of anger on his face, "My wife has an official position, is it possible that she still likes her?" Can't you compensate me for this? If you don't give me an explanation today, we will have to go to the government!"
As soon as the butler's words came out, many onlookers were amazed. Even the shopkeeper was shocked. He never thought that this matter would become such a big deal!
A wife with a royal title must be above the fourth rank. Even in the capital, her status is not low.
Moreover, not just any official can ask for a royal decree for his family, so there is really no need for a person with such status to pay attention to the compensation from such a jewelry store.
But the shopkeeper was even more confused because of this. Ordinarily, these people with some status would never dare to pass off inferior goods. Those things that were deceived by others were all sold to people with ordinary status and whose masters could suppress them. how come……
With such a housekeeper of Mrs. Gaoming's family here, others were even more convinced that the jewelry shop had engaged in shoddy goods. Seeing that the commotion was getting more and more out of control, and when some people were even clamoring to report it to the official, the housekeeper finally became anxious. Already...
