The narrow fox eyes squinted for a long time. Rong Zhao glanced at Xu Li, and asked Xia Wanhua again: "Then have you thought about what to do next?" ”

"Although Qiu Changkai is dead, there are still four cities to be rectified. The process is not that easy. I'm going to wait a little longer for Shen Dajiang to become king on his own. ”

"Let him set himself up as king, and what about you? Can you still control him? Rong Zhaoyi frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Xia Wanhua smiled slightly and sat down according to Rong Zhao. "The Shen family is my father's old department, but outsiders don't know about it. If he wanted to disobey me, he would have ignored me a long time ago. Why does he need to save Eunuch Cui and help me run Yunzhai. Although I have mistrusted people, I still believe that people are different. Just like you, I believe! ”

"Good. Since you are willing to believe me, I still say the same thing at the beginning. I Rong Zhao is willing to saddle your horse and smear your liver and brain for you in the future! ”

"Good!"

The big and small hands are tightly held and their eyes are facing each other.

That night, Xia Wanhua held a banquet to celebrate Rong Zhao's achievements.

As soon as the banquet began, Yu Donghai led people into the Xia Mansion.

Xia Wanhua put down the wine glass and looked up and down at Yu Donghai. After many years of wine and meat offerings, the edges and corners of military generals have long been gone, and there is more sophistication of officialdom.

"I didn't expect Lord Yu to come uninvited. I don't know what adults do? ”

Xia Wanhua's face was calm. Rong Zhao has already destroyed Qiu Changkai, so Yu Donghai has no backer, so it is naturally not enough evidence.

Yu Donghai naturally knows this truth. He strode up to Xia Wanhua and knelt at Xia Wanhua's feet with a flirtatious robe.

"Late Hua Gongzi, Yu Donghai is here to make amends to you! Before, Yu Donghai had eyes and didn't know Mount Tai, and collided with Gongzi, Yu Donghai deserved to die, and I hope Gongzi will forgive him! ”

Xia Wanhua looked at Yu Donghai, and then looked at Xu Li, who was walking slowly behind his back in the crowd.

Majesty.

These two words immediately flashed in Xia Wanhua's mind. That's not what he should be at his age. Even Rong Zhao, who is four years older than him, does not have that kind of momentum after several battlefields.

Xu Li, after all, is not a thing in the pool.

The Xu family will be her stumbling block in the future. But if she makes good use of it, maybe the Xu family can help her get rid of the control of those people. The pros and cons of this depend on how she balances it.

He looked down at Yu Donghai again. Xu Li, you are really not simple!

"Lord Yu, where is this! Hurry up, please! Xia Wanhua got up and hurriedly helped Yu Donghai up. Since Lord Yu is a friend of Xu Sangongzi, he is my friend of Xia Wanhua, and it is nothing to learn from each other! Come on, give Lord Yu and the third son a seat! ”

Yu Donghai stood up and secretly wiped the fine sweat on his hands.

Xu Li sat down, and Yu Donghai also sat down next to him.

As soon as the wine was drunk, the atmosphere was different again. And there is also the poplar who can pick the atmosphere, and this table will inevitably be more lively. Don't say that Ji Dafu and Chen Xiao both drank a lot. Even Eunuch Cui was pulled by the poplar and shouted "old man" and "old man". Sun Ling and Yu Donghai were getting together and scolding Qiu Changkai.

Rong Zhao was drunk by everyone, and he had already fallen asleep on the table. Only Xia Wanhua and Xu Li are sober as usual.

Xu Li glanced at Xia Wanhua, and the two of them left the hall and went to the side hall to sit down to drink tea and gossip.

"Ashin has written to me."

"What did he say?" Xia Wanhua actually didn't want to hear news from the Xu family. Actually, it's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare.

Sometimes she feels that going to live in the Xu family should be her biggest mistake.

Xu Li pondered for a while before speaking in a low voice. "Mother, she helped you get revenge. One of the eldest brother's legs is wasted. ”

"What!" The teapot in his hand fell, the tea was spilled on the ground, and the heat slowly rose, as if in a dream.

"Are you alright?" Xu Li hurriedly squatted down, took off Xia Wanhua's wet shoes, and took off her socks to check her burned feet. "Such hot tea, you have to quickly cool it down."

"Yuke hurry up and get some cold water, your son-in-law burned his feet."

Yuke, who was waiting outside the door, heard the sound and pushed the door to take a look inside, turned around and ran out, and quickly brought a basin of cold water.

Xia Wanhua let this Xu Li help her deal with her scalded feet, and her thoughts had already flown to Xu's house.

Mrs. Wang is also the daughter of a famous family. No one knows why she chose to marry Xu Qingfang, a martial artist. Xu Qingfang was able to survive from the most ordinary soldier to today's status, and many people said that Mrs. Wang was credited. But Xia Wanhua knew something. Although Mrs. Wang is carefully running this family, she and Xu Qingfang do not agree. Since I had a concubine, Xu Xiao, I didn't get along. Madame Wang is a gentle person, but she is also very strong, no, strong. Xia Wanhua saw tenacity and generosity in Mrs. Wang. She disagreed with Xu Qingfang, was disappointed in Xu Qingfang, and put all her thoughts on her sons.

The names of the five sons of the Xu family were all given by her. Even if it is a concubine, she has never been harsh, she has invited a famous master to enlighten and teach. This is what Xia Wanhua saw with his own eyes. It can be seen that Mrs. Wang pinned everything on her sons. Now she has ruined one of Xu Ren's legs. That's the end of everything for Xu Ren. It was not only Xu Ren who was hurting, but also Mrs. Wang.

"Madame, why bother." Xia Wanhua's voice was a little choked.

Xu Li whispered while helping her apply the medicine: "Ashin said in the letter that my mother only said one sentence, and she should know what the consequences will be before doing something. ”

Xia Wanhua was silent for a long time, sitting there quietly, no one knew what she was thinking.

The candlelight was enough to reflect on the delicate face. Xu Li tilted his head and watched quietly. It had been a long time since he had looked at her so quietly. Xia Wanhua didn't know why his mother did it, but he knew it very well. But he didn't dare say it. Speaking out is another bloody choice in front of Xia Wanhua.

The choice is left to him! His Ah Wan has what she wants to do.

But Xia Wanhua is Xia Wanhua after all. Since Mrs. Wang gave the hairpin, she understood Mrs. Wang's intentions. But after all, her surname is Shen, and she has the blood of the Sun family in her body after all. After all, she doesn't want to be tied down and wants to live from her heart.

She raised her head and looked at Xu Li calmly. I have to say that Xu Li is very good, at least there are few men she has seen who can surpass him. Although the appearance is not as peerless as Rong Zhao, it looks very comfortable, steady and steady, and a pair of peach blossom eyes are irresistible. He has his silence and low profile, but he also has his unique way of warming people's hearts.

But what Xia Wanhua praised the most was his intelligence and character. At the age of twenty-two, he is clean and self-conscious, which is extremely rare for the children of the family. Intelligence, many children of the family are not bad, but only on top of women makes Xia Wanhua disdainful.

"Third brother, why don't you go back to the Xu family?"

A "third brother" made Xu Li stunned, but his heart was warm. "Why didn't Rong Zhao return to the Rong family, isn't the reason the same?"

"It's different!" Xia Wanhua scolded him. "I'm not stupid, don't bluff me with those lies! I want to hear the truth today. ”

"Honestly?" Xu Li's eyebrows rarely smiled. At this moment, the smile in the corner of his eyes is about to overflow.
