Although Mrs. Dou knew in her heart that what Prime Minister Xiao Cheng said was reasonable, she didn't want to, because she didn't like Xiao Xu from the beginning.

Coupled with the news that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng sent someone to inquire about, the more Mrs. Dou listened, the more frightened she became.

Before, everyone knew that Prince Zhaojing was clean and self-conscious, and there had never been any scandal for so many years, but now there is such a thing, and at this juncture, how can Mrs. Dou not be suspenseful?

Xiao Xu walked in with the servant, last night because he saw Jiang Jiang and Prince Zhaojing together, he had already been frightened, this time seeing Xiao Cheng and Mrs. Dou sitting there, their complexions were not good, Xiao Xu only felt more and more empty.

"Uncle asked you, did you go out to see Prince Zhaojing yesterday?" Xiao Cheng asked Xiao Xu.

"My nephew went to the Changliu River yesterday and did see Prince Zhaojing," Xiao Xu didn't dare to lie about this: "But he only went up to see him and left." ”

"Who was there with the prince at that time?" Prime Minister Xiao Cheng meant something, but he didn't make it clear.

Xiao Xu didn't dare to hide it, carefully examined the faces of Prime Minister Xiao and his wife, and said expectantly: "It's just a few attendants." ”

"No one else?" Mrs. Dou couldn't bear it and said: "There are no outsiders here, you said it happily, what kind of bend are you going to do with us!" ”

Mrs. Dou said so, and Xiao Xu couldn't hide it anymore, so she had to say: "There is also a maid waiting for the prince by the side." ”

"How do you know it's a maid? Isn't it some kind of kabuki and the like? To be honest, Mrs. Dou didn't have a good impression of the woman who was with Prince Zhaojing at all, and she felt that she was thinking about her.

But Xiao Xu has his own opinion: "It shouldn't be like what my aunt expected, I went to the palace to meet the prince before, and I also saw the prince behaving intimately, but I didn't see the face at the time, and now I think it should be the same person." ”

"You already knew?" Hearing him say this, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng couldn't hold his breath anymore: "You are really confused! ”

Mrs. Dou just sneered when she heard this: "The good nephew raised by the prime minister didn't report it, but waited until everyone outside was clamoring against the sky before we got the letter, which is really an afterthought." ”

Of course, Xiao Xu could hear the anger in Mrs. Dou's tone, he had no choice but to shrink his neck, the reason why he chose not to say it was because he felt unnecessary, and secondly, because he was afraid of involving the festival between him and Jiang Jiang at the beginning.

Once this matter is known to the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mrs. Dou will naturally make a big fuss, accusing herself of misconduct and affecting Xiao Liuli's marriage.

"After all, Xu'er is a child's family, I don't know how important it is," Xiao Chengxiang couldn't bear to blame Xiao Xu anymore after all, of course, the premise was that he knew in his heart that Xiao Xu definitely didn't mean to do this: "You go down, don't run around anymore." ”

Xiao Xu couldn't wait for this, as if he had been in the hurry of Lao Jun, and went out in a hurry.

"Prime Minister, what should I do about this now?" Mrs. Dou is the most anxious, and it is a major marriage event related to the pearl of her palm, how can she not be in a hurry.

"Don't panic yet, we can't mess around and let people see the jokes," Prime Minister Xiao Cheng was quite calm, and told his wife: "If outsiders don't mention the premise, don't listen to it, maybe how many people are waiting to see our jokes now!" As for Liuli, don't tell the people around her to serve well, and don't let a word fall into her ears. ”

A sentence reminded Mrs. Dou, and she couldn't help but nod her head again and again.

"If the prince is just playing with this woman, it won't take long to throw away his hand, it's not a big deal," Xiao Cheng can also see this, perhaps because he is accustomed to people's amorous nature: "As long as it doesn't hinder our daughter from being the princess, you don't have to worry about this matter." ”

But Mrs. Dou has a different opinion in her heart, no matter what, Prince Zhaojing's behavior always makes the Xiao family's face gloomy, especially Xiao Liuli's laughing stock.

The world treats men and women differently, especially for men in high positions.

Nostalgic fireworks can also be interpreted as elegant, and frequent concubines are only said to be amorous.

On the contrary, it is much more difficult for women, even if they can lose weight and be decent, but their husbands misbehave, everyone will say that this woman is not good at entrapping her husband, or that she is not respected.

In short, if a man makes a mistake, it will be attributed to the woman.

Mrs. Dou herself was burdened by Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, so she naturally knew the suffering. She didn't want her daughter to suffer the same sin.

But there is no way, the prince of Zhaojing is high, and it is not something they can control. What's more, now that she is just a queen, the emperor showed some meaning slightly, and he was not determined.

Xiao Fu is what he wants, and he is also a teacher, so he can only suffer a dumb loss.

"I'm tired too, so I'll go and rest," Xiao Chengxiang said, standing up and going to Aunt Seven's house.

Mrs. Dou only felt that her chest was stuffy, but she could only endure calling the maid over and asking her to quietly call Mei Xiang from Miss's side, and she was not allowed to alarm Miss.

Mei Xiang came to see Mrs. Dou, and Mrs. Dou knocked on the side and asked her, "What is Miss doing?" ”

"Read in the house," replied Mei Xiang, who did not doubt him, "what does Madame command?" ”

"Where did you go down the street in the morning? It didn't take long to come back. Madame asked again.

"Miss said that she came back with nothing to do now," Mei Xiang said: "I went to Count Su's house to sit down for a while, talked to the sixth lady of her family, drank a bowl of tea, and then took my leave." ”

"What did Miss Six say to Miss?" Mrs. Dou asked with concern.

"It's just gossip," Mei Xiang said, "When I mentioned Prince Zhaojing, Miss took her leave." I think it's to avoid suspicion. ”

The custom of the Great Qin State is that whenever a man and a woman talk about marriage, they must avoid suspicion, let alone meet.

Mrs. Dou naturally panicked when she heard this, and she didn't care about interrogating Mei Xiang, so she stood up and said, "It's still early for lunch, I'll go to Liuli to have a look." ”

He also said, "Mei Xiang went to the room to have a look and asked them to make some favorite pastries for the young lady." ”

After that, Mrs. Doudou led her personal maid to Xiao Liuli's residence.

Xiao Liuli was reading a book at this time, with a serious face, and she couldn't see anything wrong.

Seeing that his mother was coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him, and his face was still the same as usual.

"Kid, why did you go out and come back so soon?" Mrs. Dou is inconvenient to say.

Xiao Liuli smiled and said, "Originally, it was just to return a book from Miss Six, so naturally there was no need to delay for too long." ”

"I see," Madame Dou smiled reluctantly, "I thought I would stay at the Earl's Court like every time, and come back after lunch!" ”

"Mother, don't worry, I'm fine." Xiao Liuli's heart was like a mirror, knowing why Mrs. Dou was in such a hurry to see her, and the sixth lady of the Earl's Mansion had already made her words very clear.
