Report! Xia Shang, the young master of Xia Family Winery, wants to see His Highness. "
A family general entered the hall to report.
Li Shou was still trying on the Li Jin long gown that Boss Tong had sent him earlier. He kept changing his body shape in front of the bronze mirror and asked casually: "Xia Shang? Which Xia Shang?"
"It's Xia Shang who robbed Miss Yazhi from His Highness in Liuyue Tower ten days ago."
"It's him? ! Why is he here?" Li Shou was furious. It was this kid who made him lose face that day. If the Xia family had not been destroyed, he would not have let it go. "By the way, isn't it rumored that he is dead?"
"This... I don't know."
"Don't talk nonsense, kick him out, the king doesn't want to see this person."
"Yes!"
The family general was about to leave when a voice came from upstairs again.
"Wait. "
Following the voice, a woman in gorgeous and noble clothes came down from the second floor slowly. She took small steps, had a dignified posture, and looked graceful and elegant with every step.
This woman was only in her early twenties, but her smiles and frowns were all calm and measured.
Seeing this woman, even Li Shou stopped joking and walked up to her quickly, smiling and holding her hand: "Madam, what do you want?"
"Let Xia Shang come in."
"This... this is not good, right? He and I have always had grievances, and this king does not want to see him. Besides, his family died because of me, and I don't know what his purpose is this time."
The woman frowned and glanced at Li Shou, looking like she was disappointed with him: "Hey! As a prince, are you afraid of even a merchant's son?"
"Madam, I'm not afraid..."
"Shut up! Xia Shang knew that his family died because of you, but he dared to come here today. It's definitely not as simple as revenge. Since he dared to come, there must be something fishy going on. It would be better to invite him in and listen to what he has to say. "
"Then... then let's do as Madam wishes."
...
Outside the building, Xia Shang had been standing for a long time, surrounded by a group of servants. Any movement would surely lead to a beating. The discussion behind him never stopped, just waiting to see the show.
No matter what Xia Shang was thinking, appearing in Prince Yong's mansion at this time was clearly a step into the trap. It would be good if he was kicked out of the mansion. The only thing to worry about was that His Royal Highness Prince Yong would have the intention to kill him, which would be terrible.
Amid the rustling discussion, the family general came out to announce that Xia Shang was invited to the building.
Xia Shang calmly entered the building, ignoring the discussion behind him.
Such a calm and composed attitude aroused the dissatisfaction of the people around him.
"Look at that kid, he is still so arrogant now, could he still think he is the young master of the Xia family? "
"He really has no self-awareness. Could it be that he wants to resolve the feud between the Xia family and His Royal Highness Prince Yong by giving gifts?"
"It's all because His Royal Highness Prince Yong likes antiques. His Xia family has been uprooted. What treasures can he take out?"
"I don't know if he can come out after he goes in? Let's wait and see."
…
Inside the building——
"I am Xia Shang, a humble man, meeting His Royal Highness Prince Yong. "
Standing in the middle of the hall, Xia Shang bowed slightly. Although he remained calm, he was a little surprised to see a woman in the hall.
Considering that Xia Shang was potentially dangerous, several servants followed him in and kept an eye on his actions, making the atmosphere in the hall a little tense.
Li Shou was playing with an item sent by someone and ignored Xia Shang.
But the woman next to him walked towards Xia Shang step by step, with a graceful posture, pausing with each step, her round buttocks drew a beautiful S-line, and her gorgeous long-sleeved pleated skirt rolled like a flowing cloud. With a faint smile on her lips, she seemed like a fairy who was coming slowly.
"I am Li, the wife of King Yong. I am here to show my courtesy."
"You are polite. "Xia Shang was a little confused. This was something he had never thought of. Why didn't King Yong speak, but a woman came to receive him?
Could it be that King Yong felt that he was not worthy of talking to him?
This did not make sense. If that was the case, King Yong should not have appeared in the hall.
And this Li, she was so beautiful that she was breathtaking. Compared with the women he had seen before, this woman obviously gave people a bottomless taste. Although she was charming, she seemed to be reluctant to accept. Her words were soft but airtight, like a mystery that attracted people to go deeper, but could not be seen through.
This kind of woman is extremely dangerous!
"It is rumored that the son of the Xia family was once a famous playboy, but today I see that it is not exactly the same as the rumors outside? With such a demeanor, he deserves the word "junjie". He must be a man with strategy and courage. Tell me, why dare you come here alone? Don't you forget the grudge between our two families?"
"Mrs. Li is too kind. Xia Shang is just an ordinary person, with nothing special about him. He only knows that His Royal Highness Yong Wang did not intend to embarrass our Xia family, but was just used by villains. To put it bluntly, His Royal Highness Yong Wang and our Xia family are both victims. Since we are both victims, Xia Shang naturally wants to come and see. "
When these words came out, everyone was shocked, even Li Shou, who was not interested in paying attention, put down the things in his hands and looked at Xia Shang in surprise.
How did he know?
Speaking of the extermination of the Xia family, Li Shou had a hard time saying it. He was a newly arrived idle prince, and he would have to be crazy to attack the local wealthy families! It was just that someone took the Xia family's property for himself under the banner of venting Li Shou's anger. Now he didn't get any benefits, but let everyone in Yangzhou think that he was jealous and destroyed a wealthy family in an instant.
This If the news spread, Li Shou's reputation would definitely not be good, but he couldn't blame anyone for it. The main reason was that he had no power and influence. He dared not and could not blame it, so he could only suffer in silence.
Li Shou was the person involved, so he naturally knew the reason. But how did Xia Shang know? How could an ordinary person who didn't know the inside story see the trick?
Li Shou stepped forward quickly, and saw that Xia Shang's eyes had changed. He seemed to have met a soulmate, and he was very excited: "You..."
Li interrupted after saying a word: "True or false, who can tell? Since Mr. Xia can let go of the grudge, the Yong Palace is naturally happy to turn over this chapter. No need for gifts, please take a seat in the courtyard."
"You two, are you sure you don't want to see the gift that Xia prepared carefully?"
Seeing Xia Shang speak so mysteriously, Li Shou became interested: "Oh? Could it be a rare treasure? Let me see it quickly. "
Xia Shang reopened the package and handed over the two brocade boxes. He said in a serious voice:
"These two items are very important. Your Highness must not let outsiders see them before opening them. Your Highness can use the items in the first brocade box for five years, and the items in the second brocade box for fifty years. But this is not a gift from me to your Highness. Your Highness can take a look first. If you like it, you can exchange it for something else."
"Wow! What a big tone, I want to take a good look at it!"
Li Shou's curiosity was completely aroused. He put the brocade box on the table and was about to open it. The servant beside him hurried forward: "Be careful of fraud! What if this person hides a mechanism in the brocade box…"
"Don't worry, he won't." Li said.
Xia Shang smiled: "Since Madam is relieved, it's better to send all the people in the hall out. This thing is really not good for outsiders to see."
"Just as you said, everyone get out. "Li Shou was a little impatient. After the servants in the hall left, he immediately opened the brocade box.
One look!
Li Shou was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "What is this? Are you kidding me? !"
I don't know what he saw, Li Shou was about to get angry, but Li's face beside him changed.
The woman who had been calm and composed from the beginning turned pale when she saw the brocade box opened. I don't know what terrible object she saw, and she shouted loudly: "Come on, close the door!"
