Chapter 55: Taking Charge of the House
The next day, the main hall of the Fuyang Hou Mansion.
Li Xingzhao sat on the main seat, cleared his throat and glanced at the people below, "Now that the Liu family is a concubine, this family power should be returned." Liu sat on the side, his face couldn't help but turn pale, his hands tightly grasped the corners of his clothes, and he didn't say anything.
Hearing this, Li Luoyao's eyes lit up slightly, and she looked at Li Xingzhao with even more excitement, since ancient times, the eldest daughter inherited the power of the family, and her father meant......
She stood up unhurriedly, saluted Shi Shiran, and her movements were generous, "My daughter is willing to share her father's worries ......"
"Qiu'er, you will be in charge of the affairs of the Hou Mansion for the time being." Li Xingzhao glanced at Li Luoyao coldly, then looked at Li Qiuchi and said with a smile.
Li Qiuchi stood up slowly, but his face was expressionless, "Thank you, father." After she sat back, Chu Jinrong next to her frowned at her, laughed and teased in a low voice, "Now you are a person with power, you can kill whoever you want." ”
Hearing this, Li Qiuchi was immediately amused, and his heart was even warmer. She smiled, her smile was as pleasing as a flower fairy, which made Chu Jinrong dazzled, and after seeing Li Qiuchi's gaze, he didn't look back, "Seriously, you look good when you laugh, you still have to smile more." ”
Li Qiuchi raised his eyebrows, didn't say anything more, and his heart was not so cold.
Li Luoyao's smile froze on her face, she felt that her whole person was frozen, and the jealousy in her heart rolled even more. Why? What is this Li Qiuchi? Why is everything good to be left to her alone?
Li Xingzhao looked at Li Luoyao's behavior and couldn't help frowning, "Yao'er, what are you doing here?" What kind of system? Sit down yet! ”
The unhappiness in Li Luoyao's heart was suddenly overturned, and her eyes were red, "Father, but what did my daughter do wrong?" ”
Thinking of what happened before, Li Xingzhao was still very unhappy, and said in a deep voice, "No, it's just that you are ......"
Suddenly, the family outside rushed in to report, "Master, Mrs. Shen of the Shen family outside the door asks to see you." ”
Li Xingzhao heard this and hurriedly stood up and went out to greet him, the Liu family was also full of excitement, this Shen family is one of the four great families, with a strong background, Li Luoyao and the son of the Shen family have a marriage contract, and they are even more close, such a backer cannot be neglected.
After inviting Mrs. Shen to sit down, Li Qiuchi saw her face clearly, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the gold threads around her were even more luxurious, well maintained, and she looked like a twenty-year-old flower girl, with a high bun, and the whole person looked noble and elegant.
Li Xingzhao smiled and said, "I don't know that Mrs. Shen is here, and I don't want to be welcome, I hope you will forgive me." ”
Mrs. Shen smiled lightly and took a sip of tea, bowing her head slightly, "Master Hou is polite." ”
Li Luoyao was also very excited when she saw Mrs. Shen, but she saluted Mrs. Shen with a shy face, "I've seen Mrs. Shen." ”
Mrs. Shen didn't look at her, only lowered her head and sipped tea, her gentle gaze was obviously sharper, and the corner of her eyes caught a glimpse of Li Qiuchi who seemed to be looking at her, and couldn't help but look back at the past.
"But the second lady of the Hou Mansion?" Mrs. Shen suddenly asked her with a smile.
Chu Jinrong suddenly became alert, he smiled gently, and spoke for Li Qiuchi, "Yes, she is also the crown princess of this palace." ”
When Mrs. Shen heard his words, she was immediately surprised, "His Royal Highness the Prince? After seeing the tacit gazes around her, she hurriedly saluted, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Her heart suddenly became anxious, and she hurriedly explained, "The courtiers don't know that she is the crown princess, and she is offended, so I hope you will forgive me." ”
Chu Jinrong smiled warmly, "It's okay, just pay attention next time, the crown princess of this palace doesn't want anyone to worry about it." ”
"Yes, yes." Mrs. Shen's heart was up, and she hurriedly responded, lest the prince punish her.
"Poof!" Li Qiuchi couldn't help laughing, seeing that this Chu Jinrong was seriously jealous, she really wanted to laugh and swell?
Suddenly, Chu Jinrong held her hand and looked at her affectionately, his eyes were sparkling, "What is Qiu'er laughing at?" Can you share it with Hongu? ”
Li Qiuchi: "......"
She silently withdrew her hand, choosing to ignore his middle two plus brainless eyes.
Li Luoyao was on the side, and the jealousy in his heart was even stronger, this Li Qiuchi was always so good!
"That's right," Mrs. Shen suddenly remembered, and then she smiled and spoke to Li Xingzhao, "Master Hou, I came here this time for the marriage contract." ”
Li Xingzhao agreed with a smile, "Indeed, the two children are not young, and the marriage is about to be put on the agenda." ”
"No......" Mrs. Shen said awkwardly, her embarrassed eyes made Liu's heart chuckle, she hurriedly walked up to Mrs. Shen with a smile and held her hand, "What's wrong, in-laws?" Is something wrong? ”
Mrs. Shen was disdainful in her heart, withdrew her hand, and glanced at Liu's lightly, Liu's smile froze on her face, she was satisfied, turned her head to look at Li Xingzhao, and her voice was firm, "Master Hou, I came this time to withdraw from the marriage." ”
Li Luoyao was stunned as if she had been struck by a lightning bolt, like a thunderbolt in the sky, and her heart suddenly exploded.
Liu suddenly became anxious, "Mother-in-law, this marriage is good, why do you have to quit?" We Yao'er have to have a good look if we have talents, why can't we? ”
Mrs. Shen sneered, "At that time, the marriage contract was clearly written, it was the concubine of the Fuyang Marquis Mansion who married the son of our Shen family, but now that you Li Luoyao is no longer the concubine, this marriage contract will naturally be invalidated." ”
The Liu family was not happy when they heard it, "Mother-in-law, I don't like to hear what you say, what do you mean that our Yao'er is not a concubine?" Why isn't she a concubine? Even if you want to get into contact with the marriage contract, you shouldn't say such things to slander her! ”
Li Luoyao's face was even more pale as paper, and her heart was surging with anger, almost devouring her.
Mrs. Shen sneered, "Is it a concubine, don't you Fuyang Marquis Mansion yourself know?" Everyone knows that the Liu family in the Fuyang Marquis Mansion has done all the ugly things and was demoted to a concubine, what else is there to argue with? Our Shen family was originally going to marry this serious daughter, Li Qiuchi. ”
Liu's eyes widened, "I've done all the ugly things?" What do you know? Can only listen to other people's nonsense? Where is my daughter not a concubine? She turned her head, looked at Li Xingzhao's voice urgently, and cried and said: "Master, look at what she said!" actually said that Yao'er is not a concubine! This is clearly a malicious attempt to repent of marriage! I think their Shen family doesn't look down on our Fuyang Marquis Mansion at all! ”
