As Zhang Yuhang revealed everything, everyone in Yangxinju who heard this suddenly looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
But Xie Ming, who was accompanying him, immediately stood up and said to the old lady: "Old lady, that's not what you said. Tonight, my heir apparent and Mr. Liu hit it off, and we specially invited him to drink and have fun together. He wasn't the only one who drank it, my heir apparent also drank it.
Moreover, when I later saw Miss Liu Shuxuan from your mansion sending someone to take Mr. Liu back to the house, my eldest son did not refuse. Even if there was a conflict between this uncle and the eldest son, we never neglected Mr. Liu.
This dynasty attaches great importance to filial piety. Although Mr. Liu is not an elder in our Hou family, he is an elder after all. We still know the etiquette we should have. We cannot let your uncle wantonly slander the character of our prince with just a few words. "
The old lady frowned: "Are you from Zhan Ninghoufu?"
"Yes." Xie Ming responded very frankly: "In the presence of Prince Xu, my prince asked me to come here to explain to you. He drank some wine tonight and treated your uncle poorly. Please forgive me."
Then he looked at Zhang Yuhang and said: "As for what my uncle said about my eldest son specifically targeting Mr. Liu, we cannot admit it and we absolutely dare not admit it."
When Xu Wei saw this scene, he also came forward to explain: "Old lady, what Xie Ming said is true. Before I came here, I asked someone to inquire at Fengming Tower. It is true that a servant came to see Prince Xie. He is indeed I claim to be here under the orders of your Marquis Liu Shuxuan. Not only me, but also the boy in charge of reception at Fengming Tower can vouch for this."
All the drama was done. Now that he has mastered the servants around Liu Shuxuan, how could Zhang Yuhang not take advantage of them? The people came, and the boy from Fengming Tower did see them, but he only saw the scene of coming to see him, but from I didn’t see them leaving together.
When the old lady heard this, she turned to look at Sun and said, "What's going on? Shuxuan shouldn't be in Zhang's house. Why did she suddenly come into contact with my brother?"
Mrs. Liu's mind was confused when she heard this. She had told her daughter about the clan elder's recent visit, but hadn't she been seeking the Qihuang technique?
How could I suddenly be involved in this matter?
But when faced with the old lady's inquiry, she did not dare to say anything, so she could only respond: "My daughter-in-law doesn't know, but maybe it was Shuxuan who heard the news about the arrival of the clan elder and wanted to fulfill her filial piety, so she took the clan elder over." Went back.
I will go to Zhang Mansion to find Shuxuan, ask for details, and then bring the clan elder and Shuxuan back together. "
After Mrs. Sun finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave directly, but was stopped by the old lady.
"Stop." The old lady called Sun, and then said to Xu Wei: "Prince Xu, I'm really troubling you tonight. Now that the matter is clear, I won't bother you any more. I will kiss you some other time." Your mansion would like to express its gratitude to Duke Cheng Guo."
Xu Wei also bowed his hand and said, "Old lady, you're welcome. I will naturally handle the matters that Father personally ordered. Since the matter has been resolved, I will not bother you anymore and take my leave."
After saying these words and saluting the old lady, Xu Wei took his people and left the Hou Mansion directly.
Seeing Xu Wei leaving, the old lady immediately turned to Mrs. Sun and said, "Take someone to bring your brother back immediately. I will ask the people from the Hou Mansion to go with you. Go and come back quickly."
For some reason, she always had a very bad premonition tonight. If the elder of the Liu clan was not brought back as soon as possible, he would really not feel at ease.
But as she glanced around, she saw that even the Sun family had left, but the person in the Zhan Ninghou Mansion was still there. She immediately said angrily: "Why, why are you still staying in our Hou Mansion? Is it possible to return the favor?" You want us to provide you with a midnight snack?"
No matter what happens now, the relationship with the Zhan Ninghou Mansion has reached a freezing point, and she will naturally not be polite when speaking.
Xie Ming also wanted to leave, but the things the prince had told him were not finished yet. How could he just leave? He immediately said: "Old lady, the prince said that no matter what, Mr. Liu was picked up in front of him." Yes, I have to see Mr. Liu come back with my own eyes before I can go back and explain to the prince, and I also ask the old lady to let me stay for a while."
It was impossible to see. Xie Ming knew this very well. Not to mention going to Zhang Mansion to find someone, even if he went to search their Hou Mansion, he would definitely not be able to find anyone.
Then he secretly glanced at Zhang Yuhang's expression at this moment, which still looked aggrieved. If he didn't know the truth, he wouldn't believe that all this was secretly planned by this poor son-in-law.
As expected of someone who can get together with his own eldest son, he is really evil-minded.
The old lady snorted coldly when she saw this. At this moment, compared to others, she was also puzzled. If it was really Shuxuan who took away her brother, then why did Crown Prince Xie go to such great lengths to fight with Zhang Yuhang and others? What do you want?
Is it really a drunken impulse?
Why doesn't she believe it so much?
About half an hour later, Sun and his people hurried back.
"How about it, where are the people?"
The old lady asked hurriedly when she saw him for the first time.
At this moment, Mrs. Sun said coquettishly: "Old lady, I went to the Zhang Mansion, but not only did I not find the clan elder, but I didn't even see Shuxuan. I heard from Ji'an that Shuxuan didn't come back after leaving this afternoon. Mansion."
When the old lady heard this, her hand holding the cane unconsciously squeezed hard, something was wrong.
This was her first reaction in her heart, and then she immediately looked at Xie Ming with a frosty face and scolded: "Is this the explanation and result given to me by your Marquis Mansion?" Where is my brother? Where has he gone? '
Xie Ming pretended to be in disbelief, stood up directly and said to Sun, "No way, your daughter personally sent someone to pick her up. How could this be wrong?"
Mrs. Sun also looked at Xie Ming with a look of hatred: "Has your eldest son seen my daughter? If not, why would you let him take her away just because of a servant's words?"
"Old lady, this is indeed the negligence of my heir apparent." After hearing Sun's question, Xie Ming immediately clasped his fists and apologized to the old lady, and then said categorically: "But don't worry, the person was lost from our heir's hands. Yes, we are absolutely responsible to the end.
In the entire Kyoto, no one dares to plot against us, the people of Zhan Ninghou Mansion, in this way. We will be responsible for this matter to the end, and we will give you an explanation as soon as possible. "
After saying this, Xie Ming ignored the reactions of these people, turned around and left.
Seeing everyone leaving, the old lady felt even worse. It looked like it was designed.
