Ident.i.ty Question
Su Li eyes flash, not less than two words to speak; she is already having no good impression to her father. He does not even allowed Su Chun to speak, however he does not know Su Qin conducts and deeds are all saw by Dongfang Ze. At the moment, Dongfang Ze face is expressionless, raising his hand to stop: “This is not the first meeting of Second Miss and Ben w.a.n.g, so no need to be polite. It is hard to imagine Second Miss chamber, I’am surprise…… It seems that the relatives of Prime Minister First Wife was apart to the daughter of a Concubine, entirely different! “
When it comes to the last sentence, his tone already have a hidden meaning to chill.
Su Xiang expression suddenly change. Dongfang Ze outstanding talent, at Chao Zhong frequently have make a contribution, but because of one party the Impress used numerous people to go to follow, in many ways to suppress. As the most powerful supporters of Dongfang Ze, Su Xiang always choose to advocate the virtuous person, but now he can’t comply to the last sentence; he must won Dongfang Ze trust. Today, in his house the First wife and the daughter of a Concubine is clearly separated, it is hard to avoid suspicion.
Su Xiang face become pale, no way he will tell, how he will say that it is a mistake.
Atmosphere becomes awkward at the moment.
Small room, as if no air flow and secretly flee. Not a moment, such as Su Xiang forehead slightly sweating. Ashamed to pending the answer, Su Li got up and said: “Ben w.a.n.g you misunderstood! Father are always busy of official business, First Madam manage the family matter at home, Madam pity my weak body, since I cannot stand the noisy, she specially brought me here, so there is no other meaning.”
She smiled and explained, although hard to believe, but the undercurrents easily turned into nothingness. Not only Su Xiang as a father and the son was surprised, Dongfang Ze is also strange.
Considering the eyes that inspecting her. Dongfang Ze carry a smile: “If so? Ben w.a.n.g is really wrong to accused the Prime minister!”
“This lowly official not dare to! This matter is also strange to me, although my wife give a thought to my daughter, the arrangement is improper. This simple and remoted place, is no wonder for w.a.n.g Ye to misunderstand.” Su Xiang immerse as if officialdom, having one step, he plainly seized an opportunity, to say the truth with more than lie is better. He hurriedly summoned the housekeeper to come, to command: “Immediately order a people to tidy up and properly rearrange the courtyard in the next door, tomorrow the Second Lady will be move and reside there .”
“Yes.” Butler accepted the order, and he is just about to withdraw, when he was stop by Su Li.
Su Xiang eye brow slightly wrinkled, as if to say, are you not satisfied?
Su Li respectful replied: “Thank you father for concern and care! Daughter have become accustomed to everything here, I’m afraid changing place is not suited for me, I asked my father to take back the order!”
She bow her head to request, with sincere words; make the people in the house surprised. As a Xiangfu daughter, more than ten years bent to reside here, finally she have the opportunity to improve the shelter, and opportunity to improve the status, that most people wishing for, but she didn’t expect and refuse it! Dongfang Ze eyes lightly flash, eyes with full of interest, are getting stronger.
Su Xiang haven’t force it to do, just order the servant to rearranged everything in the courtyard, try to make her stay more comfortable. Also order more people to send to serve the Second Miss, Su Li request are rejected. Changing a courtyard is not difficult for her. The reason for her to stay here, is because the place is secluded for everyone, to facilitate her martial arts at night time. So having a few servants is just asking for a trouble.
Su Xiang requested Dongfang Ze to the lobby of banquets,that properly set up. Dongfang Ze glance at Su Li’s face, smiled and said: “Second Young Lady, come with us.”
Everyone are slightly surprised, but n.o.body dare to speak to oppose him.Dongfang Ze large strides to go out of the door and saw Wan Xin, footstep slightly stop, not a word or movement Dongfang Ze turn to leave.
***Xiang Fu Flower Hall.
Gold goblet jade cup, food and wine, are expensive and extremely arranged because of visitor
Air, filled of fragrant of food and wine aroma. Everyone are all seated, Su Chun temporarily want to go outside, Su Xiang is aware that his son is not fond to a.s.sociate with Dongfang Ze, although unhappy, but also give up. So the banquet is between five people, to reject a cup is exchange from small cup, noise of talking and laughing are scattering in the wind, the atmosphere was completely harmonious.
Su Qin changed into a red dress, extremely gorgeous. face are painted with many layers of cosmetic powder, clearly opposite to Su Li , dress is plain , and face without make up, that looks more natural.
Su Xiang toast and smile: ” For w.a.n.g Ye, to agree to visit the house of this lowly official, I am extremely honored. This wine, cheers to w.a.n.gYe . “
Bottoms up the cup in the air, without a single drop left. Dongfang Ze slowly drink the single cup, insipid smile, without a word.
Su Xiang as complex and laughed: “Qin Er, not quickly pour wine for w.a.n.g Ye?”
Su Qin is rejoicing, and quickly hold up the wine pot, and walk to Dongfang Ze side, to pour him a wine, while not taking her eyes to cast a glance at him.
w.a.n.g Zhenning Dongfang Ze is the most handsome and brilliant prince in Sheng country, just one glance, he is capable to drop off their guard right away to take the woman soul, and to lose their hearts. Really deserved for his reputation ah! This is a golden opportunity; Su Qin absolutely won’t miss the chance!
“w.a.n.g Ye, Qin Er, offer you one cup.” turn to glance, toast and lightly drink. Su Qin seems completely forgotten, that she was caught by him, the scene in the garden .
Su Li could not help lip to sneer, lower the head and silently eating her foods, her lips is cover of mockery.
Dongfang Ze eyes is bright and face with smile, while slowly drinking, the flat area of forehead between the eyebrows is like a spring sunshine, elegant and outstanding, such as breathtaking view. Su Qin widely stared at him; look is indeed foolish, and to blurted out: “w.a.n.g Ye smile is really nice! This is a wonderful thing, certainly w.a.n.g Ye cannot compare to any other man!”
The smiling face suddenly close, cold eyes that make you tremble, is like an icy needles crossed to her face. Su Qin immediately felt cold, scared and legs felt weak, “splash” she kneel on the ground, the atmosphere become heavy.
Su Xiang complexion is extremely ugly, for failing to meet expectations and impatient to see improvement forcefully reprimand: “Qin Er is bold! Babbling nonsense, to offend w.a.n.g Ye, still not in a hurry to kowtow to apologize humbly! “
Su Qin really knock on the floor, trembling and almost cry out, “Qin Er….. aware of mistake, ask w.a.n.g Ye to please forgive me !”
Dongfang Ze faint glance at her, playing the small jade cup with his hands, not saying a word.
Atmosphere at the reception hall, in the very instant is become sluggish, the hot and exotic delicacies is now suddenly become cold and tasteless.
Everyone in the banquet, the heart’s of everyone fell, and at the same time no one dared to break the silence to start to talk.
Su Li quietly looked up, Su Qin who is very excited before is now slightly trembling. As well as Mrs. Su, for several times. Failed to spit out a word. But this person is extremely powerful and hard to deal, all of them, in front of Dongfang Ze are become timid.
Su Li can not help but secretly sneer, eyes slightly forward, suddenly got up and smiled and said: “My father is too serious!”
The number of gazed at her direction, Su Li is seem unconscious, gently smile and said: “w.a.n.g Zhenning looks is a celestial being, among the world is unparalleled. Older sister only speak the truth, even though somewhat offend, is not deliberately, w.a.n.g Ye broad-minded, how can possibly blame? Older sister quickly get up, ok! “
Su Qin half-doubt, stare at her.
Dongfang Ze gla.s.s down, watching her for a half-moment, suddenly he smiled.
