Chapter 596: Xia Lian, Do You Know This Person?
When Liu Jingcun arrived, he saw that Mu Lingluo and Liu Haoxuan were already sitting on the side, with King Min and Princess Min sitting on the top, and Su Zimo and Xiao Minghan sitting on the bottom.
"Hehe, we, as guests, have been sitting here for a long time, and you, the host, are late. Could it be that Liu Guogong doesn't look down on our Min Wangfu now? Xiao Minghan smiled coldly. For most of the day, I didn't even have a cup of hot tea, which is really enough. ”
This can't be said by the elders of King Min and his wife, otherwise it would be an insult to their identity, let alone something that Su Zimo and other juniors can say, and in the end, only Xiao Minghan was left to speak out.
Liu Jingcun hurriedly bowed down and said: "It's really sluggish, it's all because the little brother-in-law just went back to the house to change his regular clothes, but he didn't expect his father-in-law and mother-in-law and King Chen's brother-in-law to come." As he spoke, he asked people to prepare tea, and scolded Mu Lingluo and Liu Haoxuan next to him, "How do you entertain people, don't you know how to let the maid send tea first?" ”
Mu Lingluo blinked, "Mother is in control of this house, how can I overstep my bounds, and if I come again, I can't call these maids?" ”
Liu Jingcun was choked by her, and he was only secretly annoyed, he ate too much before arguing with Mu Lingluo.
King Min's index finger curled, knocked on the Nanmu table, and said coldly: "You don't have to blame Ah Luo for everything, she is just a girl's family, isn't this matter of entertaining people what the housewife in your mansion should do?" You're really a good stepwife! ”
"That, I'm not feeling well, that's why I didn't come out in time to entertain, and I ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law to forgive me!" Liu Jingcun broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and cleverly chose an excuse.
"This Libo Mansion is even a delicate concubine!" Princess Min glanced at him and said lightly.
The housewife of this ordinary family, where is the male master of the house out to entertain guests, even if the female owner is sick again, as long as she can get out of bed, she will do her best. This is basic etiquette, otherwise it will be a tendency to make enemies with others!
Liu Jingcun's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, which is not only about Xia Lian, but also about his bad vision.
"It's just that even if she is sick in bed today, she has to be carried out by this princess. This princess has something to ask her! Princess Min spoke.
"Isn't it my mother-in-law? This, this cheap inner ......" Liu Jingcun couldn't figure out Princess Min's thoughts, so he could only ask clearly.
"Are you still afraid that this princess will eat her?" Princess Min raised her eyebrows, and her eyes turned cold.
"When, of course not." Liu Jingcun hurriedly shook his head.
Princess Min snorted coldly, "Then call her out." By the way, I said last time that let her hand over my daughter's dowry, because Ah Luo had not been engaged before, a few of us didn't urge, and gave her enough time and face to prepare, but I didn't expect her to delay it again and again. Now, Ah Luo has been given a marriage, and it is estimated that he will have to prepare for the marriage next year and after the wedding, and it will be less than a year away, and now the dowry must be handed over! ”
Liu Jingcun was secretly relieved when he saw that Princess Min was mentioning the dowry. Although he also wanted to keep the dowry first, it was just because of Xia Lian's framing of Mu Lingluo that he was a little weak in his heart, and now when he saw them coming to the door, he could only bow his head and say: "Yes, the son-in-law will let the cheap one prepare." ”
"Let her come over first, this princess still has something to ask her." Princess Min was also not happy to stay in the Liu family for long, if it weren't for Liu Haoxuan and Mu Ling falling here, she really wouldn't want to step into this place again in her life, looking at Liu Jingcun's hypocritical face.
She only hated now, how could she think he was a good person back then, and she agreed to marry her daughter to such a wolf-hearted thing!
Liu Jingcun had no choice but to let someone inform him and let Xia Lian come quickly.
When Xia Lian came in, the maids also served the tea, and she respectfully greeted King Min and them, and then sat down and said, "I don't know why the princess and princess are looking for a concubine?" ”
King Min turned his eyes to look at Su Zimo, Su Zimo clapped his hands, and immediately someone dragged a man who was beaten and covered in blood and couldn't see his face clearly, and threw him into the main hall, and the hall was suddenly filled with a strong smell of blood.
"This, what does the prince mean by this?" Liu Jingcun didn't expect to come here suddenly, he was so shocked that he stood up from his seat, and his tone was slightly annoyed.
"Don't be annoyed by Liu Guogong, let's have a good time with your wife first, do you know this person?" Xiao Minghan said lightly.
"Look up." Su Zimo ordered in a cold tone.
The man on the ground seemed to be extremely afraid of Su Zimo, and he could hear his voice, even if it was difficult for him to move his body now, he still slowly raised his head, revealing his ordinary face, his obscene little eyes were full of horror, although his face was a little dirty, it did not prevent others from seeing his facial features clearly.
"I don't know this person at all." Liu Jingcun really didn't know Fang Qiang. But he wasn't a fool either, and he vaguely guessed something.
"Xia, what about you?" Princess Min turned to look at Xia Lian, who was slightly pale.
As soon as Xia Lian saw Fang Qiang's face, she couldn't help but be shocked, but she immediately suppressed the panic in her heart and said categorically: "No, I don't know." The concubine lives in the inner house for a long time, how can she know a foreign man? The princess doesn't have to make fun of the concubine. As she spoke, she secretly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
"Really? It doesn't matter if my mother doesn't know him, I have someone here, and my mother must know him. Mu Lingluo smiled softly, clapped her hands in fear, and Xiangyun, who had been standing behind her with her head down, walked out trembling and fell to her knees. Can you know your mother? ”
Xia Lian was shocked, she didn't expect that one day, they would come to the door. She gritted her teeth and smiled, "Isn't this your maid?" But this maid is not well served, if you don't like it, in a few days, the house will buy the maid again, you will personally pick it up then? ”
Mu Lingluo saw that Xia Lian was still talking about him at this time, and he didn't panic at all, and secretly admired her acting skills in his heart. "This is the maid my mother gave me, her name is Xiangyun. It's a good service, but the hands and feet are a little unclean! ”
"It's a big sin if your hands and feet aren't clean, you just have to deal with it." Xia Lian followed up and said.
"She's stealing something she shouldn't have stolen. Hmm, let Xiangyun say it himself. Mu Lingluo turned to look at Xiangyun, "Xiangyun, you repeat the words of the day again." ”
Xiangyun's small body trembled under Xia Lian's needle-like sharp eyes, bit his lip, and his heart was so flustered that he only crawled on the ground for a long time before he slowly said.
