"Report! Xia Shang, the young master of Xia Family Winery, asks to see His Highness."
The family will enter the hall to announce.
Li Shou was still trying on the Li Jin gown that Boss Tong had given him earlier. He kept changing his figure in front of the bronze mirror and asked casually: "Xia Shang? Which Xia Shang?"
"It's Xia Shang who robbed Miss Yazhi at Liuyue Tower with His Highness ten days ago."
"It's him?! Why is he here?" Li Shou was furious. It was this boy who caused him to lose all face that day. If the Xia family hadn't been dead, he wouldn't have given up. "By the way, didn't the rumor say that he was dead?
?”
"This...servant doesn't know."
"Stop talking nonsense and kick him out. I don't want to see this person."
"yes!"
Just as the family member was about to leave, a voice came from upstairs again.
"Wait a minute."
Following the sound, a woman in gorgeous clothes walked down from the second floor. Her steps were small and her posture was dignified. Every step she took looked graceful and luxurious.
This woman was only in her early twenties, but she looked calm and measured in every frown and smile.
Seeing this woman, even Li Shou stopped joking and walked up to her quickly, smiling and holding her hand: "Madam, what are your orders?"
"Let Xia Shang come in."
"This...isn't this not good? He has a grudge against me, and I don't want to see him. Besides, his family all died because of me, so I don't know the purpose of coming here this time."
The woman frowned and glanced at Li Shou, as if she hated iron and said, "Hey! As a prince, are you even afraid of a merchant's son?"
"Madam, I'm not afraid..."
"Shut up! Xia Shang knew that his family died because of you, but he still dared to come here today. This is by no means as simple as revenge. Since he dared to come, something must be fishy, so why not invite him in and listen to what he has to say.
"
"Then...then it's up to Madam's wishes."
…
Outside the building, Xia Shang had been standing for a long time, surrounded by a group of servants. The slightest movement would be punished with a stick. The discussion behind him never stopped, just waiting for a good show.
No matter what Xia Shang's thoughts were, if he showed up at Prince Yong's Mansion at this time, it was clear that he was aiming for the point of a gun and would be blasted out of the house. He was afraid that His Highness Prince Yong would have murderous intentions, and that would be terrible at that time.
Amidst the buzzing discussion, the general came out to announce that Xia merchants were invited to enter the building.
Xia Shang entered the building calmly, ignoring the comments behind him.
Such a calm and calm attitude actually made people around him unhappy.
"Look at that boy, he still looks so arrogant. Could it be that he thinks he is the young master of the Xia family?"
"If you really don't have any self-awareness, is it possible that you still want to resolve the grudges between the Xia family and His Highness King Yong by giving gifts?"
"His Royal Highness, Prince Yong, is interested in curiosities. His Xia family has been uprooted. What treasures can he come up with?"
"As soon as he goes in, he doesn't know whether he can come out or not? Let's just wait and see the show."
…
Inside the building——
"The common people of Xia and Shang have met His Highness King Yong."
Standing in the middle of the hall, Xia Shang slightly cupped his hands. Although he had always remained calm and composed, he was a little surprised to see a woman in the hall.
Considering Xia Shang's potential danger, several servants followed him in and kept an eye on Xia Shang's actions, making the atmosphere in the hall a little tense.
Li Shou was playing with the objects sent by someone unknown and ignored Xia Shang.
On the other hand, the woman beside him walked towards Xia Shang step by step, with a graceful posture, one step at a time, her round buttocks drew a graceful S-line, her gorgeous long-sleeved pleated skirt rolled like flowing clouds, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.
The smile is like a fairy coming slowly.
"I am the wife of King Yong, Mrs. Li. This is very polite."
"It's polite." Xia Shang was a little confused. This was a situation he had never thought of. Why didn't King Yong say anything, but a woman came to receive him?
Could it be that King Yong felt that he was not worthy to talk to him?
This doesn't make sense. If that's the case, King Yong shouldn't have appeared in the hall.
And this Ms. Li is breathtakingly beautiful. Compared with the women I have seen before, this woman obviously gives people a bottomless aura. Although she is often charming, she seems to want to refuse and welcome her, but her words are soft and charming.
It is also airtight, like a mystery that draws people deeper but cannot penetrate it.
This kind of woman is extremely dangerous!
"It is rumored that Young Master Xia was once a well-known playboy, but it is different from the rumors today when we meet him? With such a magnanimous temperament, he deserves to be called a hero. He must be a man with a strategic mind and extraordinary courage. Tell me, why do you dare?
Are you here alone? Don’t you forget the grudges between our two families?”
"Mrs. Li is so complimentary. Xia is a mortal with nothing extraordinary. I only know that His Highness King Yong did not intend to embarrass our Xia family, but was just being used by an adulterer. To put it bluntly, His Highness King Yong and my Xia family are both
They are victims. Since they are all victims, Xia naturally wants to come and take a look."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Even Li Shou, who had no intention of paying attention, put down the things in his hands and looked at Xia Shang in surprise.
How did he know?
Speaking of the Xia family's annihilation, Li Shou couldn't tell the truth. He was an idle prince who had just arrived, and he would only take action against the local big family when his brain went crazy! It was just that someone took advantage of the Xia family's property under the guise of venting his anger on Li Shou.
He just took it for himself. Now he has not benefited at all. Instead, everyone in Yangzhou thinks that he destroyed a wealthy family in an instant because of jealousy.
If this matter spreads, Li Shou's reputation will definitely not get better, but the blame cannot be thrown to anyone. The main reason is that he is powerless. He dare not throw the blame, and he cannot throw it away, so he can only suffer the consequences of being dumb.
Li Shou was the person involved and the reason for his natural way. But how did Xia Shang know? How could an ordinary person who didn't know the inside story see the secret?
Li Shou stepped forward quickly, his eyes changed when he looked at Xia Shang, as if he had met a close friend, and he looked very excited: "You..."
After saying just one word, Mrs. Li interrupted: "Who can tell whether it's true or false? Since Mr. Xia can put aside his grudges, Prince Yong's Mansion will naturally be happy to turn over this article. There is no need for gifts. Please come to Mr. Xia's courtyard.
Take a seat."
"You two, are you sure you don't want to see the gift Xia carefully prepared?"
Seeing that Xia Shang spoke so mysteriously, Li Shou became interested and said, "Oh? Could it be some kind of rare treasure? Let me see it quickly."
Xia Shang reopened the package and handed the two brocade boxes over, with a serious expression on his face and whispered:
"These two items are of great importance. They must not be seen by outsiders before His Highness opens them. The items in the first brocade box can be used by Your Highness for five years, and the items in the second brocade box can be used by Your Highness for fifty years. But this is not
I give it to His Highness. Your Highness can look at it first. If you like it, you can exchange it for something."
"Hey! What a loud tone, I would like to see it alive!"
Li Shou's curiosity was completely aroused. He placed the brocade box on the table and was about to open it. The servant beside him hurriedly stepped forward: "Be careful! If this person hides a trap in the brocade box..."
"Don't worry, he won't." Li said.
Xia Shang smiled: "Since Madam is relieved, it is best to send everyone out of the hall. It is really not good for outsiders to see this thing."
"As you say, everyone will get out." Li Shou was a little impatient. After everyone in the hall left, he immediately opened the brocade box.
one look!
Li Shou was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What the hell is this? Are you fooling me?!"
I don't know what he saw, Li Shou was about to have a seizure, but the face of Mr. Li next to him changed.
The woman who had been calm and composed from the beginning immediately turned pale when she saw the brocade box opened. She didn't know what terrible object she had seen, and she shouted sternly: "Come here, close the door!" (To be continued!)
