At that time, Li Xutang was sitting on the imperial concubine's couch and talking to Si Wan.
Si Wan was generous and knew how to answer questions appropriately, but from time to time he would show a bit of arrogance.
She had been held high by others since she was a child, but now she was rejected for the first time, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Li Xutang advised from the side, "The third brother is a stinking stone. Don't take it to heart. He treats everyone indifferently. You don't know if you are not here. He treats your sister the same way."
"Isn't he also treating Aning?"
Li Xutang didn't understand Si Wan's thoughts, but as someone who had experienced it, she knew very well what Si Wan's expression meant when he talked about Lu Hanxiao.
Si Wan did not hide it deliberately. Li Xutang was very sure that she wanted to break into the house.
She hated these vixens who stole other people's husbands, but after peeking into Si Wan's thoughts, she felt lucky that maybe Si Wan could restrain Si Ning.
After all, Si Ning was an unpopular concubine when she was in Zhenguo Palace, which shows that Si Wan has some abilities.
She placed all her hopes on Si Wan, so she was very sincere when she comforted Si Wan.
The maid hurried in and told the two of them what had just happened with a panicked expression.
Li Xutang frowned and turned to look at Si Wan.
Si Wan didn't react at all. The previous embarrassment had been forgotten by her. After calming down, she was able to think normally, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Hanxiao's words.
Instead, Lu Hanxiao's words aroused some greed in her heart.
"He should like his sister, right?" Si Wan asked.
She was not familiar with Lu Hanxiao. Before he was injured, he had been away from home all year round and returned to the capital only a handful of times. Even if there were palace banquets, he would not attend most of them. Even if he did, he would sit in the back and have a few drinks with the emperor. Show less.
The only time I saw Lu Hanxiao was when he went on a military expedition before he was injured.
Si Wan was dragged to watch the army march out. She felt bored, but she glanced at the person at the front.
How to describe the feeling at that time?
With a startling glance, fear of being a person took hold in my heart.
But later he was told by the imperial doctor that he might never wake up, and Si Wan knew that they were not destined for each other.
She is the legitimate daughter of the Si family, and there is absolutely no way the Si family would marry her to such a living dead.
She actually...
But now that people are awake, this matter is a different matter.
But now there is some trouble. Lu Hanxiao seems to have some affection for Si Ning.
Li Xutang listened to her words, waved his hand at the maid, and emptied the room.
Seeing that she had something to say, Si Wan did not speak immediately, but waited for Li Xutang's next words.
Sure enough, Li Xutang leaned forward and got a little closer to her before speaking in a low voice.
"Don't worry, my third brother will never like your sister."
Si Wan raised his eyebrows, with confusion in his eyes, and heard Li Xutang continue.
"Han Xiao always had a sweetheart when nothing happened..."
boom……
It started to rain inexplicably, and Si Ning lay on the bed too lazy to move.
Qiu Ju brought her hot tea and snacks, while Si Ning fiddled with the teacup in boredom.
"What about him?"
She asked Lu Hanxiao, and Qiu Ju replied.
"Those who went out in the morning should be busy."
Si Ning has been nursing her miscarriage for half a month now, and it's time for Lu Hanxiao's anger to subside.
Nowadays, the affairs of the Ministry of War are piling up, and the emperor has sent people to remind him several times. Lu Hanxiao should not go too far.
He went to court, and when he went to court, the emperor pretended to care about Si Ning and gave him many rewards.
Si Ning's meritorious service in disaster relief spread throughout the capital, and she did not need too much glory to gain a foothold in the capital.
And the child in her belly was aborted, which was enough for the emperor to forgive her a lot.
Si Ning is the biggest winner this time.
Lu Hanxiao thanked her for the reward and went to the Ministry of War.
The Ministry of War now has subordinates to help. In fact, things are still going on in an orderly manner, but they just look chaotic.
For Lu Hanxiao, these things can be handled easily.
The most difficult thing is not these matters, but the dirty tricks of the DPRK.
After handling the matters at hand, Lu Hanxiao went to Hongyifang.
When the waiter saw it was him, he hurriedly led the person to the box at the back.
The shopkeeper came to greet Lu Hanxiao in person and saluted him respectfully.
"General, why are you here? Do you have any orders?"
Everyone in Beijing knows that the dresses of Hongyifang are worth a thousand dollars, so ladies and ladies flock to them.
Naturally, some people are jealous of the prosperous business, but Hongyifang is backed by a strong backer, so no one dares to touch it.
Many people are spreading rumors about the fifth prince's property in Hongyifang, and some people have personally seen the fifth prince coming to Hongyifang. In fact, they don't know that Hongyifang belongs to Lu Hanxiao.
Although his people don't know how to do business, they are not useless at all. At least the Hongyi Fang is well run, and they are also good at misleading others, leading their backers to the fifth prince.
Lu Hanxiao took out a pattern from his pocket and handed it over. The shopkeeper took it and looked at Lu Hanxiao in confusion, asking what he meant.
"Follow this pattern and quickly make a dress. The measurements are written on it."
After hearing this, the shopkeeper carefully put away the tricks and turned around to get the account book for Lu Hanxiao to read.
In his opinion, Lu Hanxiao should be here to check the accounts, and secondly, what kind of gifts should he give.
The pattern was very complicated, and it didn't look like something ordinary women would wear. I didn't know who it was for.
While thinking wildly, Lu Hanxiao stood up.
"I'm going back."
The account book was held in the hands of the shopkeeper, who was a little confused about the purpose of Lu Hanxiao's visit today. Was he really just here to give away gifts?
Once again, I was curious about who the skirt was for, and I saw the daughter-in-law of the Si family walking in.
She was still wearing yesterday's dress, and the hem of her skirt bloomed in different colors as she moved around.
The shopkeeper's thoughts changed slightly, and he stepped forward with a look of enlightenment on his face.
But he didn't say anything rashly, but said tentatively.
"Miss, this dress is really special. I have never seen it before."
Si Wan replied perfunctorily, "I hired a craftsman to make this specially. There should be only one like this in the capital. I originally wanted to get another one, but the other party ran out of time."
The shopkeeper felt even more certain when he heard that, so that was the case.
But isn’t General Lu marrying the concubine of the Lu family? How could he be in love with this legitimate daughter?
"The shopkeeper?"
His thoughts were interrupted, and the shopkeeper smiled apologetically.
"What kind of dress does Miss Si want to see? I'll introduce it to Miss Si."
Si Wan noticed the subtle changes in his mood before and after, but did not pay attention to it. Instead, he took out a piece of silver from his waist and handed it over.
The shopkeeper looked flattered when he saw this, "Miss Si, this is impossible. If you have anything to do, just ask me."
Seeing this, Si Wan stuffed the money into the shopkeeper's arms and said in a low voice.
"There is indeed something I would like the shopkeeper to answer to Si Wan."
"General Lu must have been here just now. I wonder what the purpose of his coming here is?"
