The smile on the corner of Xi Honglei's mouth turned a bit sarcastic. She had never been afraid of a person's threat in her life, but the smile disappeared in an instant, and there was a layer of worry in her heart. She walked with Ran Yunpo in the palace for a long time, and the two of them
The topic of conversation has never left Shui Rongyan. It can be seen that Prince Chu has a lot of feelings for Shui Rongyan, and it is not that easy to really separate them. Although there is such a thing as "stoking discord"
, it is not difficult for Xi Honglei, but this matter is not easy to deal with. No matter whether it is successful or not, it is very likely that he will lose his head.
She still likes her head very much and doesn't want to get rid of it for this. But she will not show weakness in front of Ran Yunpo. She can only suppress the worry in her heart and stay with Ran Yunpo with a smile until she
Ran Yunpo happily sent him away, and then she rubbed her stiff face while smiling, and walked towards her courtyard with gloomy eyes.
After Xi Honglei and Ran Yunpo walked around the house, Xi Honglei understood that even if she and Lin Wanru's status and situation here could not be changed all at once, it would more or less make some people have scruples and not dare to return.
Just like before, he bullied them unscrupulously.
The current situation in Xifu was not formed in a day or two. Xi Honglei cannot change it all at once, nor can he do so. If he is too public, he will cause unnecessary trouble sooner or later. Xi Honglei does not want to
Before you have your own power, you will bring yourself some kind of fatal disaster.
Back in the courtyard, Xi Honglei saw Lin Wanru and Hua'er waiting at the entrance of the courtyard from a distance. She walked over and Xi Honglei called out "Mother" softly, then helped Lin Wanru and walked into the courtyard.
He sat on the stone bench in front of the house.
"Leier, Mom heard that you and Prince Chu went to the palace today? Nothing happened, right?"
Lin Wanru looked at Xi Honglei worriedly and was stunned for a long time before she asked such a question cautiously.
"It's nothing, don't worry, mother." Xi Honglei smiled helplessly, met Lin Wanru's concerned gaze, and said, "I just went to see the emperor to terminate the engagement between me and the prince. Nothing else happened.
"
"Oh, that's good." Lin Wanru's hanging heart was relieved.
"Where's my dad?"
"The master went to check the accounts, and he should be back now..."
Before Lin Wanru finished speaking, she saw Xiyuanshan walking towards Xiyuanshan outside the yard. She stood up quickly. Lin Wanru lowered her head and bowed to Xiyuanshan in a polite manner. She stepped aside.
Looking at the red tears, I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"Dad." Xi Honglei walked to Xi Yuanshan's side with a smile and greeted him obediently. Listening to Xi Yuanshan asking him about the visit of Prince Chu just now, Xi Honglei glanced at Xi Yuan without leaving a trace.
The housekeeper beside Shan had a light flashing in his eyes.
Xi Honglei told Xi Yuanshan about Prince Chu's attitude in detail. Xi Honglei carefully observed Xi Yuanshan's expression, suddenly stopped, looked at Xi Yuanshan cautiously, and asked: "Dad,
Are you worried about something?"
Xi Yuanshan was obviously stunned by Xi Honglei's question. After stiffening for a moment, he shook his head seriously at Xi Honglei and said: "You are a girl, so don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
!”
"Dad, even though Honglei is a girl, she also helped her handle things that maybe even boys can't handle, right?" Xi Honglei cleverly explained that she helped Xi Yuanshan ease the relationship with Ran Yunpo.
He came out, then hugged Xi Yuanshan's arm and said coquettishly: "My daughter is older, so she wants to help her father share some things. Even if she can't help her, her words will make her feel better. Here again
There are no outsiders, so just tell me!"
Xi Yuanshan looked down at the coquettish Xi Honglei, with a slight smile on his face. He reached out and rubbed Xi Honglei's hair, and Xi Yuanshan said in a low voice: "There is something wrong with the store's account book, but for a while
It took me a while to find out which shop the problem was with."
"Dad, how much silver is the difference?" Xi Honglei sat up straight, looked at Xiyuan Mountain with twinkling eyes, and asked straight to the point.
"It's tens of thousands taels at least." Xi Yuanshan sighed and replied quietly.
Xi Honglei's heart skipped a beat: He really deserves to be the richest man in the capital. It turns out his business is so big.
