"What did you say??"

Wu Anhou thought that Xia should at least deny it.

He thought that Xia Shi didn't come forward to clarify the matter because she was sick, or maybe it was because she hadn't heard those rumors outside. However, he never thought that Xia would admit it so frankly in front of him!

"So, you weren't pregnant?"

Thinking of this possibility, Wu Anhou's face was gloomy as if it was going to rain.

Xia shook his head, "Master Hou thinks it's bad!" The concubine was indeed pregnant back then! ”

Wu An was stunned for a moment, "Then why are you-"

Xia Shi let out a long sigh, and carefully talked about what happened back then, and at the end, she looked at Wu Anhou with red eyes, and said, "Back then, it was the concubine who was confused and did such a wrong thing. Now that Xuan'er is older, Jin'er's relationship with King Kang is imminent, and the concubine is worried that Jin'er's life experience will be exposed in the future, and the emperor will think that our Houfu will deceive his son with an abandoned girl, so ...... The concubine is also forced to do so! ”

After saying this, Xia Shi covered his face with a handkerchief and cried!

Wu Anhou was stunned for a long time before digesting the news.

He glared at Xia fiercely and said angrily, "It's just stupid!" He didn't know whether it was stupid to say that Xia was stupid to come back with an abandoned baby and give birth to his own daughter, or that Xia is now making trouble all over the city because of this incident.

Xia Shi cried and said, "Yes! Concubines are stupid! But, Master Hou, Xuan'er is our biological daughter! You said, King Kang is such a good family, I don't plan for my own daughter, who am I planning for? I'm doing this for the sake of our house!! ”

Wu Anhou looked at the Xia family with some disappointment, thinking in his heart, but he hadn't seen him for three years, but the Xia family could no longer give him the gentle and lovely, intelligent and knowledgeable feeling he had back then!

Moreover, he unconsciously remembered the eldest daughter Chu Peijin whom he had loved since he was a child.

Back then, after he got the news of his wife's childbirth, he led the army to kill the enemy in one go, leaving not a single piece of armor behind! That battle not only made him more prestigious in the army, but also promoted. Therefore, he has always pampered his eldest daughter as his lucky star.

It's just that he suddenly recalled that his eldest daughter always seemed to be not very close to him when she was seven or eight years old, and every time she saw him, she always looked like she wanted to be close but didn't dare.

At that time, he didn't think about it deeply, he just thought that his daughter was strange because he hadn't seen him for a long time, or because his daughter's family was born more timid.

Now it seems that after the emperor gave the eldest daughter a marriage, Xia's attitude towards the eldest daughter has changed, but he has never cared much about the affairs of the back house, so he ignored the past!

When he came back yesterday, he didn't seem to have paid attention to his eldest daughter's emotions at all, and although he sent someone to send a gift, he didn't ask her if she liked it......

"Jin girl, she ...... Are you okay? ”

When Wu Anhou asked this, he still felt a little guilty about Chu Peijin in his heart.

Xia Shi lowered his head slightly, his eyes flashed lightly when he heard this, and he whispered, "She...... Naturally, it is sad. She has also come to see me in the past two days when I am sick, but she is ...... She...... She refuses to admit the fact that she is no longer the eldest daughter of Houfu, so she begs me to accept her as the eldest daughter of Houfu again......"

After Xia finished speaking, he quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Anhou. Wu Anhou had been sitting there expressionlessly, but at this time, he was slightly frowning and looking serious. The corners of Xia's lips are slightly hooked.

"Master Hou, you also know, at that time, the assassin rushed over with a sword, and the concubine was also forced to ...... As a mother, the concubine's natural first reaction is to protect her children, so ...... Hou Ye, the concubine is really not the kind of ruthless person...... If Jin'er has a relationship with the concubine in the future, it will also be the bitter fruit of the concubine's body...... However, Master Hou, you have to believe in the concubine body, the concubine body really didn't mean to let this matter come out, after all, the concubine body has also raised her for more than ten years......"

Wu Anhou's expression loosened slightly. Xia Shi said this even to himself a little empathetic, he was thinking, if he was in Xia's position, when the assassin came over, maybe he would also subconsciously protect his own daughter, this is a mother's instinct. Just like on the battlefield, if there is danger, soldiers often choose to protect the person closest to them first......

"That's it! Since the matter has happened, it is irreparable, it's just that from now on, you have to treat Jin girl well, be kind to her, although she is not our biological daughter, but after all, she grew up in Houfu, don't treat her slowly! ”

Hearing Hou Ye say this, Xia's heart was relieved, and a trace of joy flashed on his face. It seems that she has passed the hurdle of Hou Ye!

"Yes, the concubine will obey the orders of the master!" After Xia finished speaking, he paused, and then said thoughtfully: "Master Hou, even if Jin'er's life experience has been exposed, what should we do with the family affairs between Houfu and King Kang?" ”

Although the Xia family had already made up her mind to put this family affair on her biological daughter Chu Peixuan, she knew that it was not suitable for her to say it.

Wu Anhou thought for a while and said to her, "How can you and I decide this matter?" This is a marriage given by the emperor, and now there is an accident on our side, which is already a bully! If it's not good, it will be reprimanded by the emperor for a small matter, and if it is demoted because of this, it will be worth the loss! ”

Wu Anhou said it seriously, now that he is in the midst of a long reign, and his three-year exploits in the border are also clearly displayed there, the emperor is categorically unable to embarrass Wu Anhou because of this matter. It's just that Xia's doing this is really irrational, so Wu Anhou plans to take this opportunity to warn Xia's one.

Xia was indeed taken aback! She only thought about how to exchange Chu Peijin's family affairs for her Xuan'er, so what she thought about the most was how to get Chu Peijin to quit, but she didn't think about what the consequences of quitting would be.

"Hou Ye, concubine body...... The concubine was terrified......"

Wu Anhou shook his head secretly, "That's right!" That's it, this matter will be explained to the emperor in person, as for the future of this marriage, it still depends on the emperor's intentions! ”

When Xia heard him say this, his heart began to feel uneasy! If in the future, this family affair not only does not fall on Xuan'er's head, but also turns yellow, then won't she be a bamboo basket to draw water - an empty one?

Thinking of this, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly looked at Wu Anhou pleadingly: "Master Hou, this matter is not done by the concubine, you can talk to the emperor well, if you can let Xuan'er take on this family business, the concubine will definitely give more dowry in the future......"

"It's too early to say that. You can rest, I'm going to see Jin'er. ”

Wu Anhou got up as he spoke, stopped looking at Xia, and turned to leave.

"Madam, look, do you want to send someone to take a look?" Mama Hu asked in a low voice.

Xia Shi shook his head, looked at the bead curtain that was still shaking at the door, and said faintly: "I still know a little bit about that person, since he has accepted this fact now, then, no matter what that girl does, there will be no room for this matter to turn around!" ”

Mama Hu stopped speaking as soon as her expression was relieved, anyway, as long as Madame really untied the knot in her heart.
