Chapter 069: Is this the place to vent your anger?
"What is he doing here?"
"What do you think?" Chu Zhenxuan smiled faintly.
"Ask for a position for his sister?"
"Maybe more."
"Then grandma can't handle it. Maybe she will waver again, allowing the eldest wife to take advantage."
Chu Zhenxuan took a sip of tea and asked, "You have so little confidence in Old Madam Xia?"
"That's not the case. My grandmother has been in charge of the Xia family for so many years, and the other families have been so obedient. She must have some ability. But from her recent actions, I always feel that my grandmother is cautious about this and that." Xia Xue frowned.
"When people get old, they inevitably think too much, which will make them be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives. In all the games between you and the eldest wife, which one of them was not taking advantage of Old Madam Xia's mentality?"
Xia Xue curled her lips and poured herself a bowl of tea.
The aroma of tea fills the air.
"This tea?"
"This tea is called red leaf tea, and it was tributed from the eastern coastal areas." Chu Zhenxuan said.
"This tea smells so good." Xia Xue said from the bottom of her heart, and this time she was not flattering.
For some reason, Xia Xue felt that this tea was very familiar.
"We've donated a lot this year. Part of it has been sent to the palace, and some has been sent from the Prime Minister's Mansion. If Madam likes, my housekeeper will send them all to Fuyun Pavilion." Chu Zhenxuan has always been generous to Xia Xue.
"Okay, let Yuqing taste it too."
Xia Xue was not polite either. If a man is good to you, you have to appreciate it. If you don't want anything, he will take it for granted that you don't need anything, and then you will be the only one who suffers.
The two chatted for a while, and Xia Xue said she was tired and wanted to go back to her room to rest.
Chu Zhenxuan followed directly in.
Xia Xue's mouth twitched.
Can you move in right away?
Even though you are husband and wife, it is better for you to have your own privacy.
Looking at the same face every day will make you bored after a few days.
Chu Zhenxuan's face was filled with black lines.
Chu Zhenxuan: Is my true face so easily disgusting?
Chu Zhenxuan: When did the charm of the real face become so bad!!!
Chu Zhenxuan: +50+50+50.
Xia Xue:?
What other points can be added?
I don’t know what the miser is thinking of.
Are you regretting giving me all the red leaves?
There's no way to regret it, a real man should never regret it, huhuhuhu.
Chu Zhenxuan: Am I really that stingy?
Chu Zhenxuan: +50.
Damn, I really guessed it right.
Chu Zhenxuan grabbed Xia Xue's waist and pulled her into his arms.
Xia Xue was stunned.
The next second, warm lips covered it.
Mm, the smell of tea.
Xia Xue sniffed lustfully.
No, why does it seem like there is garlic?
Chu Zhenxuan:!!!
"Cough cough cough"
Chu Zhenxuan suddenly let go of Xia Xue and started coughing.
Xia Chun grinned and patted him on the back.
He can even choke me when kissing. Your Prime Minister is becoming less and less useful.
Chu Zhenxuan didn't stay overnight in the end because he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he might get so angry that he vomited blood and died.
The next morning, Chu Zhenxuan went to the morning court very early. It was said that Cai Deqijia came to Da'an with a large array this time, and he brought more than 3,000 attendants with him.
Due to the laws of Da'an, most of the people he brought were settled in Seabuckthorn City and were not allowed to enter the capital. The remaining fifty people were approved to enter the capital, thirty of whom were issued official clearance discs, and the remaining twenty servants and maids followed him into Da'an City.
When Xia Xue was having breakfast, she received a letter from Jia Congrong, saying that Cai Deqi had sent more than 20 people to stay at Xia's house.
The old lady temporarily rejected it.
But these people did not leave and still stood guard at the gate of Xia's mansion. The common people were talking about it, and it had a very bad impact.
The old lady hesitated a little, as if she was preparing to invite them in.
Xia Xue slammed the table and said, "They are rebelling against them."
He sneered and told the messenger, "Go back and tell mother, and tell the old lady, that these people must not be allowed into the Xia family. I'll change my clothes and come right away."
The messenger nodded quickly and ran out.
"Xiachun."
"I am here."
"Go to the police and make as much noise as possible."
"yes!"
Xia Xue changed into a lake blue palace dress and wore the Eight Treasure Chicken pearl necklace bestowed by the emperor on the prime minister's residence. In addition to the original accessories, her headdress was embellished with nine bestowed pearls.
Meng Ya looked at Xia Xue's dress. It was indeed luxurious, but it also felt a little out of place.
"Miss, this treasure given by the emperor has been used up by us. Isn't that a bad thing?"
Naturally, it doesn’t look good either.
But Meng Ya didn't dare to say it too bluntly.
"It's okay. The more decorations you put on it, the easier it is to spoil."
Meng Ya:?
Meng Ya did not ask any more questions. The young lady always had her own reasons for doing things. And it has been proven countless times that the young lady is always right. She just needs to obey.
"Meng Ya, ask the housekeeper to send someone to wait outside the palace. As soon as the Prime Minister comes to court, invite him to the Xia family."
"yes!"
After settling down in the mansion, Xia Xue got on the carriage and went to the Xia family.
When they arrived at a place one street away from Xia's house, they were already surrounded by people and couldn't get in or out.
"What happened to the Xia family? Who did they offend?"
"I don't know. I heard from the people in front that the people surrounding the Xia Mansion don't look like people from Da'an. I don't know if the Xia family has too many businesses and offended the wrong people."
"Hey, I heard that the eldest wife of the Xia family married a concubine. She was a princess from somewhere, but the Xia family only gave her the title of concubine. The country is not happy with these people and is here to settle accounts."
"But after all, this is within the territory of Da'an. These foreigners are so brazen in surrounding the Xia Mansion. Isn't this a bit too much?"
"Who knows, the Xia family is in big trouble this time."
People were talking about it.
"Go in through the back door." Xia Xue ordered.
The carriage went around several streets and finally stopped at the back door of Xia's house.
Xia Xue went in smoothly.
At this time, the Xia Mansion was in chaos.
The fourth wife and several concubines all requested the old lady to "invite" the first wife back to solve the problem.
Only the second and third rooms insisted that these people could not be allowed in.
Because Old Madam Xia cares most about her reputation, if she invites him in, she is afraid that someone will say in the future that their Xia family has connections with foreign races. If she doesn't invite him in, the atmosphere will be there and others will think that the Xia family has done something shameful and that's why they are surrounded and their property is confiscated.
So Old Madam Xia was at a loss for a moment.
"grandmother."
Hearing Xia Xue's voice, Old Madam Xia hurriedly came down from the main seat, grabbed Xia Xue's hand, and was almost crying.
"Has the Prime Minister arrived?" The old lady looked back hurriedly. If Chu Zhenxuan was here at this time, it might help to stabilize the morale of the army.
"The Prime Minister hasn't left the court yet, but he has sent someone with a message, asking him to come over immediately after the court session, telling us to protect the Xia family and not let in anyone who has nothing to do with it." Xia Xue said loudly.
The fourth room and several side rooms looked at each other.
"Xue'er, what are you talking about? You should have seen the situation outside when you came in. If we don't let them in, our Xia Mansion will probably be drowned in saliva."
"It's better to be drowned in saliva than to be accused of collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country in the future." Xia Xueling looked at the fourth wife sternly.
"Xue'er, what did you say?"
"Auntie, it's better for you to call me Madam Chu."
When Meng Ya saw Xia Xue's attitude, she knew that she was going to deal with someone again.
