Chapter 69: Say What You Believe
On the way to the front hall, Xia Zhixue asked the person next to her softly, "Did you invite the prince here?"
Lotus replied in a low voice: "How dare I, I only said that something happened to the Hou Mansion, and the girl went back alone, so the prince packed up his things and asked me to invite the Duke and Mrs. Huguo to come together."
Bei Fang bit his lower lip slightly, and caught a glimpse of the man walking at the back. Quietly slowed down and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
Ouyang Huaiyu just didn't see her cautious appearance, so he just walked his own and didn't squint.
"Lord Wang," hesitated for a long time, and then lowered his voice: "This is a matter in the boudoir, why don't you find a place to sit for a while, I see that the handling is almost done, come to you, go back to the house together, do you think it's okay?" Blinking her big eyes, the moonlight fell on her eyes, flickering.
Hua Cheng was in a place where others couldn't see on the side, and stretched out his hand to pull the lotus flower that followed Xia Zhixue: "You are ignorant, I didn't see that our prince had something to say to the girl, what are you doing with it?" I don't have the eyesight to see it. ”
Lotus raised her head and glared at him: "You have it!"
Hua Cheng couldn't cry or laugh.
Walking on his own, he didn't follow her words, he was angry in his heart these days, but he couldn't hear her.
Xia Zhixue was anxious: "Lord Wang, I burned myself with soup before just to prove that I was not wrong, not to make a temperament, at that time, I was angry, and what I said was not good, please forgive me."
Seeing that she was about to walk to the front hall, Xia Zhixue gritted her teeth, reached out and pulled the man's sleeve, and tugged: "Zhixue knows that she is wrong."
Why is this person so stubborn, she has apologized, what else?
Ouyang Huaiyu sighed and stopped with her strength: "You are always like this." Does she really apologize, he doesn't know in his heart? just looked at her pitiful appearance, and couldn't bear it, so I only explained to her: "I invited the Guogong couple to come today, that is, I have already intervened in this matter, if I hide at this time, how will others think of me?"
Xia Zhixue bit her lower lip and looked at her without speaking.
"I always feel that you are the most calm, and now it seems that you are also pretending, in fact, the person who is most likely to swing in your heart is you." Shook his head helplessly: "Let's go, your father is still in the front hall, you still have to think about it, how to explain to your father that the third watch ran back to the Hou Mansion in the middle of the night."
This can be regarded as a temporary reconciliation between the two.
Xia Zhixue slowed down and walked behind Ouyang Huaiyu, looking at his generous back, her heart was inexplicably stable, as if no matter what happened in the future, she would not be afraid.
Vestibule.
"It's so late and bothering my in-laws to run, I can't help it." As soon as he entered the door, Xia Huaiqing greeted him and smiled at the protector.
Su Shi was not there, and wanted to come and go to Mingru's courtyard to comfort their mother and daughter. Fortunately, Mingru has her mother's support in the house, and she is not too worried.
Shen Wei cried and knelt in the hall, and Xia Huaiqing didn't even look at her.
"In-laws," Xia Huaiqing personally served him a cup of tea: "It's all because I have no way to teach, so that Mingru has suffered a great grievance."
The face of the protector was twisted to the side, not giving him face, and his body did not move at all.
The hand holding the teacup stood awkwardly in mid-air, and Xia Huaiqing was in a dilemma.
took a step forward, took the tea from his father's hand, and comforted: "All the mistakes are the fault of our Xia family, and I also ask Guogong to take Zhixue's cup of tea for the sake of Mingru's face." She lowered her posture, bent over, and lifted the teacup above her head.
Snorted coldly from his nose, he didn't want to take it, thinking about the way this girl was helping Mingru in the house, the protector took it with a cold face, put it heavily on the coffee table, and the lid of the cup jumped a few times.
Xia Zhixue retreated and sat down next to Ouyang Huaiyu, quietly watching the development of the situation.
I saw the protector slash the teacup on the coffee table in front of Shen Wei with one palm, and the tea spilled from it splashed on her face.
Shen Wei screamed in fright, her face was pale, and she bent her neck and didn't dare to speak.
"The family is angry." Xia Huaiqing's heart was pounding, this protector of the country danced with knives and guns when he was young, although he didn't go into battle to kill the enemy now, but the blood on his body still couldn't stop it.
The Protector didn't speak for a long time with a cold face, and then pointed to the woman kneeling on the ground and shouted: "I am in the mansion on a vegetarian day, and I am reluctant to touch a hair of her, why is it your turn to practice like this?" He turned his head again and glared at Xia Huaiqing: "Or do you Hou Mansion not take the old man in your eyes?" A palm slapped on the pear blossom wood table, and the table leg rubbed against the ground with a screeching sound.
Shen Wei shrank her neck in fright, completely lacking the arrogance when she insulted Mingru.
Xia Huaiqing was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly waved her hand: "Where are you talking about this?" We are a family, where are you and me? I thought that Shen Wei, this kid, just listened to the words of the thief in the Taoist temple, and I was confused for a while, we never neglected Mingru's thoughts. ”
Mingru was so bullied today, and it was obvious that she had taken away her child, and the eldest lady of the country, who was in the limelight in the past, actually knelt on the ground, begging bitterly, Xia Zhixue was indignant in her heart, and because of the intolerable things that Shen Wei did to herself in the previous life, her eyes looked at her with even more disgust, and snorted coldly: "I saw that my younger brother and sister just threw a doll on the ground, but someone brought it?"
Looking around, the subordinates lowered their heads and did not say anything.
Xiao Fang, who had been following the Duke of Protector on the side, stood up timidly: "The slave and maid were frightened when they looked at the things on the ground, and they were afraid of disturbing the lady and the duchess of the country, so they picked it up casually."
"I'll take a look." Reach out and take the doll.
After looking left and right, Xia Zhixue sneered: "I look at the needlework of this puppet and look a little familiar."
Anyway, he also lived in the previous life, and in this life, he has a heart for the people in the house.
"Familiar?" Shen Wei's voice trembled, as if she just remembered that she was reasonable, knelt a little straighter, and burst into tears at Xia Huaiqing: "Father-in-law, it's not the meanness of being a daughter-in-law, but her sister...... She did harm to me. As he spoke, he wiped his tears with a silk silk.
"You fart!" Huguo Gong is a rough person, and his words are inevitably mean: "What is the old man's daughter like, the old man knows best," he dragged the doll in Xia Zhixue's hand, and pulled a knee pad from his body and threw it on the ground: "Take a good look, what does Ming'er's needle and thread look like?" Dare to frame my Ming'er, I think you have eaten the guts of an ambitious leopard. Looking at Shen Wei, her eyebrows were coldly raised.
Xia Zhixue wanted to stand up and pick up the two things, but Ouyang Huaiyu grabbed her, looked at her, and shook her head slightly.
Holding back the anger in her heart, Xia Zhixue sat on the stool and stopped making a sound.
She is now in the palace, and she has not seen many things in the family, and the words she said are not enough to convince people.
Xia Huaiqing sighed: "Shen Wei, Su Ri I see that you are also clever, why do you believe what that Taoist person says?"
