People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

Mrs. Xie, who didn't know anything about it, sent a letter of worship to Princess Yide's residence after a few days, but it was returned back unexpectedly.Mrs. Xie couldn't figure it out, she didn't know where she was dissatisfied with the princess, so she made a special trip to ask to see her the next day.Elder Princess Yide is soft-hearted, she invited Mrs. Xie into the mansion because of her past affection, and could not stop complaining: "Mrs. Xie, I treat you as a friend, yet you are playing tricks on me like this!" ! You can’t see Ben Gong’s daughter well, can you?”

Xie's face was blank: "What is the princess talking about?"

Eldest Princess Yide snorted coldly: "Your son cut off his sleeves so thoroughly, you still want Chunjia to marry him and become a widow, what are you so worried about! Come and see off!"

Mrs. Xie was "invited" out of the Princess Mansion, and asked Zhaohua to inquire about it, only to find out what had happened, and immediately became furious, and went straight to Chao Chao Pavilion after returning to Xu Mansion.Seeing her, Xing Nong rushed to greet her, "Mrs. Xie."

"Where is the second young master?"

"Second Master is still in the barracks, and he won't be back until about half an hour later, Mrs. Xie..."

Xie said coldly: "I'll wait for him right here."

Xing Nong saw that Mrs. Xie's expression was unkind, and was anxious. She finally looked forward to Xu Xilu's return, and ventilated him in advance, "Mrs. Xie is so angry for some reason, Second Master, you..."

Xu Xilu said: "Don't worry, I know it well."

He was in the barracks today, and many of his colleagues looked at him strangely, and Yu Rongbei also seemed hesitant to speak. Under Xu Xilu's coercion and temptation, Yu Rongbei told the truth: "Xi Lu, don't Sleeves are not a rare thing, but you don't need to publicize it so much, it's all on yesterday's "Best in Beijing"! In the future, is there any good family who is willing to marry their daughter to you? Your sister heard Finally, I was so anxious last night that I didn't sleep all night. Oh, speaking of which, are you really bad at women?"

Xu Xilu looked confused, and instinctively retorted: "You can't do it." He did prefer men to women, but he never told anyone about it, and how did it spread widely in Beijing? ?However, although this matter is strange, it can be regarded as a solution to his urgent need. At least Princess Yide will not think about marrying her daughter to him.Thinking of this, he even offered flowers to the mastermind behind the scenes to express his gratitude.

Yu Rongbei told him about this in advance, and he was prepared in his heart, and he also knew that Mrs. Xie would not let him go easily.When Xu Xilu entered the room, Mrs. Xie cast her cold eyes. Before she could say anything, Xu Xilu lifted up her clothes and knelt down, "My son is unfilial, please punish me."

Xie was taken aback, "What did you call me?"

Xu Xilu lowered his head docilely: "My mother is so kind to me, she has done her best for me, and her plans are far-reaching. But I let my mother down, I am sorry for my mother."

Xie's eyes turned red in an instant, he turned his head away and wiped away his tears quietly, his tone subconsciously softened, "Xi Lu, are those rumors outside true?"

Xu Xilu remained silent.

"But you are going to marry a wife and have children in the future!" Xie said anxiously, "Are you planning to live like this for the rest of your life?"

Xu Xilu smiled and said, "I'll talk about the future. Mother, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and it will be a while if it can be dragged."

Xie couldn't laugh or cry, "You can still laugh! If your father finds out about this, see how he will deal with you!"

Xu Xilu muttered: "I'm open to folk customs, and breaking my sleeves is not a big deal..."

"You're still stubborn!" Xie said with a sullen face, "Is it a big deal to break your sleeves, but having no heirs is a big deal! Which of those high-ranking officials who have raised male favorites obediently married a woman as their regular wife?"

Xu Xilu shrugged, "But things have come to this, even if I want to marry, no girl is willing to marry me."

Mrs. Xie shook her head, "You can't say it so absolutely. Although the news of your broken sleeve has spread throughout Shangjing, some girls from small families are still willing to see you as the young master of the Xu family. Even a girl like that won't have any sincerity towards you..."

As she was talking, Mrs. Xie became irritable again. Seeing that Xu Xilu was still kneeling, she said, "It's alright, alright, get up quickly."

"Oh!" Xu Xilu stood up, bent down and patted the hem of his clothes, and asked, "Mother, do you know where this news came from?"

Mrs. Xie sighed: "Princess Yide said it."

Xu Xilu raised his eyebrows, "How does the eldest princess know?"

"I heard that Prince Duan told her personally."

Xu Xilu: "...Okay."

Mrs. Xie was right, Xu Taihe was furious when he found out about this, and wanted to discipline Xu Xilu, an unfilial son, but he didn't expect Xu Xilu to admit his mistakes very sincerely, with a resigned appearance, and kept saying that he was willing to marry a wife.Is it a question of whether he wants to or not?Now even if he is willing, other girls are not willing either!Xu Taihe felt that his fist was hitting the cotton, limp and weak, and he was very unhappy. In the end, he was only asked to kneel in the ancestral hall for a night.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the girls who had thoughts about Xu Xilu stopped, and the others started to move again.Shen Zixian posted a message to Xu Xilu for three days in a row, inviting him to visit Duke Ning's mansion; Princess Ning personally invited Mrs. Xie to visit Prince Ning's mansion, holding her hand and saying, "To tell you the truth, I am The third son of the palace and the second child of your family are in the same problem. He never remarried after losing his wife. It is pitiful for me to see him alone all these years. How about you let Xilu come to my house and be with him, okay? As long as The two of them are doing well, and their status is naturally not important, don't you think so?" Mrs. Xie was stunned, declined and fled in despair.She didn't expect that there are so many broken sleeves in Shangjing, and those people usually hide them too well!

When this matter spread to Prince Duan's mansion, Song Yanqing was also shocked, and she didn't know how many times she had been secretly jealous—is there such an operation?Why didn't Concubine Ning come to propose marriage with the dowry? !

Xu Xilu stood at the gate of Prince Duan's mansion, pointed at the closed gate, and asked Jiu Dong: "What does this mean?"

Jiudong scratched his head, "Uh, it probably means thanking guests behind closed doors."

Xu Xilu laughed and said, "Now that I know I'm guilty, why did I go when I was slandering me?"

Jiudong said honestly: "But you have broken sleeves, my little prince, this is not a slander..." Seeing his young master cast a cold eye, Jiudong hurriedly covered his mouth.

Xu Xilu walked back and forth at the door a few times, beckoning to Jiudong, "Jiudong, come here."

Jiudong jumped up to Xu Xilu like a rabbit, "Master, what are your orders?"

Xu Xilu bent his lips and smiled, "Since the little prince doesn't want to see us, let's just go back. Let's go, my master will take you to Qinghui Building for a drink."

On the other side, Song Yanqing was in the inner hall of the palace, neither sitting nor standing, pacing back and forth distractedly.Seeing Xuan Mo walk in, he asked, "Where are the others?"

Xuan Mo spread his face, "Let's go."

"Gone?" Song Yanqing was stunned, "He, why did he just leave?"

Xuan Mo was a little confused, "The prince didn't see him, why didn't he leave?"

Song Yanqing was anxious: "Won't he knock on the door a few more times and wait a little longer?"

Xuan Mo was puzzled, "Since the lord doesn't want to see Second Young Master Xu, why would he go so far?"

Song Yanqing turned around abruptly, and glared at the innocent Xuan Mo: "Who said this king doesn't want to see him anymore! Where did he go?"

Xuan Mo said: "It seems to be going in the direction of Qinghui Tower."

Compared to before, the popularity of Qinghui Building is slightly more.The business was not good before because of some unspeakable reasons. Xu Xilu knew that Xie Qingshen would be useless in politics, so he suggested that he just put aside other things and devote himself to researching wine and dishes.Nowadays, most of the guests who come to Qinghui Building are for the good wine and food inside, and more and more repeat customers follow.

Xu Xilu did not enter the private room, but sat down after finding a seat in the lobby.He ordered a few new dishes and was eating happily when Jiu Dong suddenly said: "Master, the little prince is here."

Xu Xilu turned his head to look, and saw that Song Yanqing had a sulky face, but when he met his gaze, he turned back, as if he was a little guilty.

Song Yanqing walked to Xu Xilu's side, coughed lightly, and was about to speak when Xu Xilu stood up, "I'm sorry little prince, I'm leaving now."

Song Yanqing quickly grabbed him, "What are you doing?!"

Xu Xilu looked innocent, "Doesn't the little prince not want to see me? I will only hinder the prince's eyes when I am here."

"My lord, not my lord. You... You come with me." Song Yanqing said awkwardly. He grabbed Xu Xilu's wrist and led him to the private room on the third floor.
