Chapter 326 My sister is coming back to Beijing
Wen Xi didn't say anything, but Zhao Keke said generously, "It's okay, we are family, right, husband?"
"Yeah," Wen Xi replied to give face. If Zhao Keke hadn't called him, he wouldn't have paid any attention.
"Fifth brother's wife is really something. She didn't even share such a big happy event with me." The second prince also interrupted. Chu Tunan was a little too rude today.
"Okay, second brother, Qi'er has already said that she forgot." The fifth prince protected Wen Ziqi's belly, while Wen Ziqi looked at the second prince with an apologetic look, which made the second prince say nothing. Instead, Chu Tunan quickly recovered.
When she saw the pair of rings, she was firstly surprised, and secondly... secondly, she felt uncomfortable, but she was married, wasn’t she?
Never mind, fate has its own destiny
Zhao Keke saw everything, clenched and unclenched her hands, and smiled bitterly. Why force yourself? Didn't we agree on this? But how would he end up like this today? Was he angry with that person?
Seeing that the nobles in the room were a little panicked, Zhao Chengyin secretly helped him up and then went forward to greet
"Thank you all for not being mean. Please take a seat. Today is also the return banquet for Ke Ke. All of you are witnesses of the happy event. Come, wait for your seat." The words of the Earl of Loyalty and Righteousness were loud and clear. Those who were interested could only give up. After all, he was the Earl of Loyalty and Righteousness who had just been canonized by the emperor. Everyone, even many officials, knew the meaning of the Earl of Loyalty and Righteousness, but so what? After all, that person was the Son of Heaven.
Marquis Zhongyi invited the prince to sit in the upper seat, but was interrupted by Wen Xi, "Father-in-law, although the prince is the most honorable one present, today is Coco's return home..."
"Master Wen, do you know what a crown prince is?" The Crown Prince's concubine Xue Daihua raised her eyelids slightly, and a sense of oppression came over her. It seemed that the palace maid's teaching was effective.
"Hua'er..." The prince interrupted
Wen Xi smiled slightly and said, "The concubine interrupted me before I could finish my words. I should listen to you first..." Xue Daihua's face turned red as soon as he finished speaking. Was he saying that she was uneducated?
Wen Xi glanced at him and said, "I am just going to explain to my father-in-law. After all, he just got out of jail, and he has never seen so many nobles suddenly come to congratulate him, nor has he seen so many nobles come to his daughter's homecoming. I am afraid that he will mess up the etiquette and make the nobles unhappy. That's why I am going to explain it to him and ask him to sit down in order according to the etiquette."
This not only meant that it was the royal family that made Earl Zhongyi suffer so much after being released from prison, but also made him donate so much money, and even came to the door without informing them in advance and handing in a visiting card, and also disrupted the other party's return visit. The royal family's upbringing made it impossible for them to sit down, at least they would not sit in the upper seat, and for a while they could neither stand nor sit.
"Cheng Yin asked someone to go to Xiaoyao Tower to buy more signature dishes. How could they be so tactless? Didn't they see that the dishes were not enough? Zhao Keke looked apologetic and kicked Zhao Cheng Yin on the butt.
"I'm sorry, I'll go right away, you take a look at me" and then he ran down and gave the order...
Looking at the busy and chaotic Earl of Loyalty Mansion, Fu Yichen chuckled.
"No need. I remembered that I have an appointment today. Hua'er, let's go back first." The prince left with a wave of his sleeves.
"Farewell to the Prince"
Then, the second prince, the second prince
"Farewell to the Second Prince"
"Farewell to the Fifth Prince"
······
Chu Tunan didn't want to leave, but there was no point in staying here.
But Shui didn't expect Chu Tunan to come back again.
"Keke, I wish you all the best. Can I have a word with Wen Xi?" Chu Tunan asked, but Wen Xi had already walked out.
"Okay." Zhao Keke felt bitter in her mouth. She saw their backs. Wen Xi walked with big steps, and seemed to stop when he saw that she couldn't catch up. Zhao Keke didn't watch any more, and returned to her old affection. She turned around and greeted Fu Yichen and Shuangshuang who were still staying in the mansion.
Seeing that she looked calm, several people started chatting. Soon Wen Xi came back. Seeing her talking and laughing with them, he couldn't help but feel a little bitter: She is really kind-hearted...
"Brother-in-law, please sit down and have a drink." Zhao Chengyin quickly stood up to greet him.
Wen Xi sat next to Zhao Keke. The more he looked at her, the more satisfied he was. At the same time, he felt a little worried. Zhao Keke noticed this but didn't say anything.
"Master, what are you doing here today?" Wen Xi asked
"Can't I come to see Lord Zhongyi and congratulate you?" Fu Yichen said with a smile
"You don't usually make friends with others, and you wouldn't deliberately get close to us at this critical moment. Besides, if I hadn't told you about my relationship with Coco today, you probably wouldn't have known about it!" Wen Xi poured him a glass of wine.
"You..." Fu Yichen looked at him with some surprise. The last time he saw him, he still had an expression of, well, hard to describe. Finally, he said, "Jiu'er may be back. The purpose of his visit this time is also to urge donations under the order of the emperor."
"My sister is coming back? Then..."
"Let's not meet for now. Just tell her that everything is fine with us. Tell her that this is what she wants from me." Fu Yichen finished speaking and raised his wine glass, with deep longing in his eyes. Wen Xi looked at him with dazed eyes.
His sister was already married. Even if he liked her, he shouldn't have gotten engaged. He would have ruined another girl's heart in vain. But it didn't seem to be the case. It must be something he didn't know. He glanced at Shuangshuang again and saw that her eyes were clear.
"Okay, I will tell you exactly what's going on." This will just make Xiao Jue angry and let him know that his sister is a very good person.
"Father-in-law, it's really Xi who is ignorant. It was just that the situation was urgent at the time, so I had to do it. Please forgive me, father-in-law." Wen Xi picked up the wine glass, stood up, and bent over at a ninety-degree angle.
The frightened Zhongyi Bo quickly stood up and said, "It's okay, it's okay, as long as you love each other and are happy. Daddy doesn't have much, but he has money. If you are out of money, come to me. I will ask the housekeeper to bring your dowry to you. This is what I prepared originally, hid it and dug it out again." The last sentence was said secretly, which was very cute.
"Don't worry about it yet." Wen Xi thought about separating the house and then pulling it over.
But these words had a different meaning to Zhao Keke and the others.
"Brother-in-law, a woman like this will always come with a dowry. Are you planning to divorce her for convenience?" Zhao Chengyin immediately covered his mouth as soon as he made this joke.
Zhao Keke quickly said, "Dad, why are you in such a hurry? There are still some things that have not been dealt with in the mansion, and the dowry has to wait until I return to the mansion for a spot check. Don't be in a hurry."
Wen Xi regretted saying this with a mild and slightly playful accent. "That won't do. I said I'll ask the Prime Minister's Office to bring them over. How can I ask my father-in-law to find someone to bring them over?"
Earl Zhongyi heaved a sigh of relief. He was really worried that the Prime Minister's son would look down on them as a merchant family, and that he would temporarily marry his precious daughter because she was his sister.
Zhao Keke smiled bitterly...
"And Cheng Yin is such a idiot. He keeps talking nonsense all day long." Lord Zhongyi slapped Zhao Cheng Yin on the head.
He was in so much pain that he dared not say a word. He glanced at his sister and hated his mouth.
"Didn't you order the food?" Zhao Keke asked
"No, I know it's just a show." Zhao Chengyin didn't dare to say another word
Zhao Keke nodded with satisfaction
That night, the Duke of Zhongyi’s mansion brought back Zhao Keke’s dowry in a grand manner, so much that it looked like they were transporting supplies!
And Earl Zhongyi didn't care at all if the emperor knew. He was just a father who loved his daughter. After all, he was still needed to revive the imperial merchants and make up those millions of taels!
