Look, a concubine's daughter has no status and a powerful Dou Houye, who will people believe?
It is not shameful to accept sympathy, but those who do not even get sympathy are the most miserable!
Xia Jie pursed his lips and smiled. He seemed to be the only person in the room who was not affected by Yi Fang's pitiful posture. He turned his head and looked at Dou Wei, who was blushing under the crowd's discussion, and said: "Dou Aiqing, how can you force a girl to perform?
Woolen cloth?"
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen..." Dou Wei was anxious and was about to explain that he didn't do this, but Yifang beat him to it.
Of course, Yifang would not let Dou Wei tell the whole story. She had already seen that Xia Jie was ten times more difficult to deal with than she thought. At least beauty was completely useless to him.
A man's heart is as hard as iron and as cold as ice. Even if she had clearly seen the flash of predatory desire in his eyes at the moment of dancing just now, Yifang would never think that Xia Jie would show mercy to her at this moment.
Predation is not even possessiveness, it is just an interest similar to the prey. Who would show mercy to the prey?
Judging from Xia Jie's posture, Yifang judged that he was now on guard against him and suspected that everything today was not an accident. Of course, out of the emperor's instinct, maybe Xia Jie would think that all this was caused by the Dou family or others
The purpose of the deliberate arrangement is to make her confuse Xia Yunshen or himself. In short, Xia Jie has determined that this is a conspiracy, and what she has to do now is to implement this conspiracy! However, it is another version of the conspiracy.
"Your Majesty, what I did today was all of Yi Fang's own free will and has nothing to do with my father." Yi Fang folded her hands and got down on her knees, performing the most important etiquette in Daxia to express her sincerity.
"Oh, then why did you sing this song on your birthday?"
Sure enough, she asked. Yi Fang secretly clenched the hands in her sleeves. Her judgment was correct. Xia Jie was a very suspicious person. He was doubting her!
Without changing his expression, Yifang secretly took a few deep breaths, then suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the king.
"I report to the Emperor that my daughter sings this song, but there is a reason. I dare not deceive the emperor. I only hope that after the emperor listens to my words, whether he is angry or punished, I will bear all the consequences."
"Tell me." Xia Jie nodded uncertainly, and at the same time noticed that Xia Yunshen, who was sitting on the lower left, had changed his expression several times just now, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
"Yifang's mother is the concubine of the seventeenth room of the Hou Mansion. She was originally the third daughter of the Nanshan Hua family!"
As soon as Yi Fang said this, the sad aura around him suddenly changed, his eyes were burning with brilliance, and he also cast his eyes on Dou Wei. There seemed to be half hatred and half helplessness in his eyes. Such a clear and complicated gaze coupled with Yi Fang
What Fang said instantly shocked people greatly and attracted people's attention. Discussions started, and they were confused as to how the daughter of a dignified and elegant family could come to the Douhou Mansion to be a concubine.
Even Xia Jie, who seemed casual at first, was attracted and put down his wine glass.
The stunning beauty covered with a veil smiled faintly, as flawless as a pear blossom, "Twenty-three years ago, my mother went out for a wedding, met my father, fell in love with her, and promised her a three-life alliance. My father promised my mother that he would accept her.
My mother is an equal wife and shares the honor with the eldest lady, but..."
Yifang's tone became sharp, and her eyes when looking at Dou Wei were full of resentment and unwillingness, "But my grandfather refused. At that time, my grandfather knew that there were many concubines in his father's house, and he was afraid that my mother would be wronged. And my father told my mother,
You can go home with him to get married first, and then come back to apologize to your grandfather. Who would have known that when they arrived at the Marquis Mansion, the eldest lady and my father actually took my mother as a concubine in the name of marrying him as his wife and concubine.
They kept her under house arrest and did not allow her to contact her grandfather. It was not until the concubinage ceremony was completed and her eldest brother was born that her mother was released and served as a slave. But even so, her mother still remembered the old covenant.
She hopes every day that her father, who has completely neglected her, will change his mind."
