I took the initiative to come to the door, but was turned away!
Such a shame and humiliation!
Li Xiangru was so angry that smoke almost came out of his head, and he returned home with a dark face. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
Not to mention that she is now the seventh prince's concubine, even when she was in the boudoir, she was also the noble legitimate daughter of the Li family. No matter where she went, she was looked down upon by others. After marrying the fourth prince, wherever she went
, everyone respects the three points. The competition with the sisters-in-law is mostly verbal.
It was the first time in my life that I was "invited back" simply and directly like today.
It’s so irritating!
Wait, what happened when the porter said that Lu Chi and the fourth prince no longer walked around?
The anger in Li Xiangru's heart subsided a little, but was replaced by thick doubts.
Two nights ago, Lu Chi came to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. After just a cup of tea, Lu Chi left. After that, the Fourth Prince didn't see anyone and stayed alone in the study all night.
In the past two days, the fourth prince did not set foot in the inner house. She was not able to see his face. She only knew that several servants in the study had been beaten for poor service. One of them was beaten to death on the spot...
…
Thinking back to Lu Chi's unusual behavior today, a thought suddenly came to mind.
Could it be that Lu Chi and the fourth prince really had a falling out?
How can this be?
Lu Chi and the fourth prince have been classmates for several years and have a close friendship. Lu Chi is as gentle as jade and has a generous temperament. He can be called a humble gentleman and has never been against others. The fourth prince, who has a cold and harsh temperament, is also extremely kind to his good friend Lu Chi.
To put it bluntly, the fourth prince was not as kind to his brother-in-law Li Mo as he was to Lu Chi.
What could make these close friends turn against each other?
Li Xiangru frowned and opened his mouth to give instructions: "As soon as His Highness returns home, he will immediately order someone to deliver a message to me."
This cloud of doubt is really uncomfortable sitting in my chest.
She must ask clearly!
…
At dusk, when the night was getting darker, the fourth prince returned to his house smelling of alcohol.
Today is the baptism ceremony for Lu Tianyou, the great-eldest grandson of the Lu family. Lu Chi invited a group of classmates and new scholars of the same year to the house for a drink. Li Mo, Zhao Qi, Chen Zhan and others all went, and Sheng Hong was also invited.
But he didn't receive any invitation.
Of course he could bite the bullet and go on his own initiative...
But when he thought of Lu Chi's angry and cold eyes, he felt pain in his heart.
The pain was not severe, but slow and long-lasting. It was as if a dull knife was cutting back and forth in his heart, causing unbearable pain all over his internal organs.
He had never been afraid of anything, but now, he was afraid of confronting Lu Chi with cold eyes.
He knew Lu Chi's temper very well. Lu Chi's gentle temper did not mean he was bloodless. Once Lu Chi made up his mind to break up with someone, no one could hold him back...
The fourth prince stopped, raised his head slightly, and pushed back the warm liquid from the corners of his eyes. Then, he deeply exhaled the turbid air in his chest.
Let Lu Chi calm down for a while. Later, he would give in and lower his head and coax Lu Chi... If this didn't work, he could only use the power that Lu Chi hated most to suppress him.
I just regret that he failed in the fight for the throne. He has been quite ostracized in the court recently and his popularity is far less than before. Otherwise, even if it hindered his status, Lu Chi would have to send the invitation.
"Your Highness," a familiar female voice said, "After waiting for so long, I finally waited for Your Highness to come back."
The fourth prince was in a gloomy and depressed mood. He was in no mood to deal with Li Xiangru. He didn't look back and said, "If anything happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
How could Li Xiangru endure it for the next day? He quickly walked up to the fourth prince, his voice full of grievance: "Your Highness, today I went to the Lu Mansion to congratulate me. Unexpectedly, the concierge of the Lu family was so bold that he stopped me.
Outside the door, you also said something stupid about Mr. Lu no longer interacting with His Highness and asking me to invite him back."
"I really can't swallow this breath!"
"No matter how high the Lu family's status is, it can't be higher than the prince's palace. How does Lu Chi, a new champion, have the qualifications to say such outrageous things?"
"Lu Chi is humiliating me and His Highness. No matter what, I will definitely vent my anger..."
The fourth prince's body stiffened, and a series of complicated emotions flashed through his eyes. He opened his mouth to interrupt Li Xiangru, who was full of indignation: "Shut up! Since Lu Chi has such an attitude, you will not go to the Lu family in the future."
Li Xiangru: "..."
She was the one who was humiliated and wronged!
Why should she be patient and give in?
Li Xiangru was shocked and aggrieved, and a glimmer of water quickly flashed in his eyes: "I have been humiliated so much, is it possible that Your Highness doesn't intend to support me? And he doesn't go to Lu Chi to settle the score?"
What an account!
The fourth prince glanced at Li Xiangru coldly: "Remember what I said."
"From today on, you don't have to go to the Lu family anymore. If you meet Lin on other occasions, you are not allowed to have a verbal conflict with her. When you see Lu Chi, you are not allowed to speak coldly to her!"
Li Xiangru walked away without waiting for any reaction.
Li Xiangru stood blankly for a moment, then suddenly ran to catch up and grabbed the fourth prince's sleeve: "Your Highness, what is the conflict between you and Lu Chi? Why did the quarrel suddenly turn against each other? Why does Your Highness want to do everything?
Give in?"
Why?
A series of questions burst out of his mouth.
Unfortunately, the fourth prince had no intention of responding at all. He pulled back his sleeves forcefully and left without looking back.
Li Xiangru was pulled abruptly and staggered, almost falling to the ground, and she was particularly embarrassed. When she managed to steady herself, the fourth prince was no longer in sight.
Li Xiangru's eyes turned red and tears came out of his eyes.
…
Lu Mansion.
The banquet lasted until midnight.
The guests dispersed one by one, but Li Mo stayed until the end. Apparently he had something to talk to Lu Chi in private.
Lu Chi knew what was going on, and led Li Mo to the study. The servants retreated, leaving only one person standing facing each other.
"Did you have a conflict with His Highness the Fourth Prince?"
Li Mo got straight to the point and asked directly: "Today, Tianyou's baptism ceremony, you invited all your friends, but you did not invite His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince's Concubine, who came to congratulate you in person, was not able to step into the Lu family's doorstep."
"Ziyu, this is not like your behavior. What happened between you and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?"
Lu Chi's handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and the coldness was overwhelming: "Li Mo, don't ask any questions. I have severed our former classmates' friendship with the fourth prince, and we will never communicate with each other from now on. If you feel sorry for the fourth prince
Concubine, if you don’t want to come to the door of my house again, it’s up to you.”
Li Mo: "..."
Li Mo had a bad temper, and after a night of drinking, his mind was not clear enough. And then being treated with such cold eyes and cold words by Lu Chi made him furious.
"Lu Chi!" Li Mo glared and shouted angrily: "What do you mean by that? We are classmates and we are friends, and you don't even have an explanation, so you want to break up with me?"
