Xiahou Residence The street at the entrance is now packed to the brim, with the common people showing no signs of stopping, their discussions growing increasingly intense.
However, logically speaking, Consort Mei has lost all face for the royal family and the Liang Family in public, yet there has been no response from either the palace or the Liang Family, as if Consort Mei had no connection whatsoever to either.
If we say that the Empress Dowager is not intervening, it could be explained as her using Consort Mei and then distancing herself. However, the attitudes of the Emperor and the Liang Family are perplexing. The only explanation is that both Xia Yingba and the Emperor are aware of this situation, and the Liang Family understands that the Emperor intends to take this opportunity to eliminate Consort Mei as a stumbling block in the harem. The Liang Family, unable to compete with Gu Family Hong Ye, also cannot gauge the intentions of the recently returned Liu Yuren. Coupled with the events in the Imperial Garden, where three princes saved each other at Huxin, which was still related to matters concerning the Liang Family, they have experienced many storms over their hundred-year history. If they cannot see through this little scheme, they would not have lasted until now.
Thus, knowing that today’s visit by Consort Mei to the Xia Family is a trap, the Liang Family dares not intervene lightly.
Thinking of this, Huxin unconsciously narrowed her eyes at the cold and stubborn face of Xia Yingba. Her father, with his foul temper and unpredictable moods, is certainly not as simple as he appears! Otherwise, someone like Jing Tian'ao would not have so many reservations about him!
Huxin couldn’t help but turn her head to glance at the grim-faced Jing Tian'ao, immediately curling her lips in disdain. This scene was particularly glaring in the eyes of a certain gentleman inside the Palanquin. Even though Huxin wore a look of disdain, General Liu did not appreciate her looking at Jing Tian'ao for even a moment longer.
“The truth of right and wrong lies in people's hearts. Miss Xia, your complexion remains unchanged; I am quite relieved. Could you lead the way ahead? This general is tired and wishes to rest in the residence.”
The steady voice of Liu Yuren rang out calmly, carrying a hint of laziness that momentarily silenced even the sobbing cries of Consort Mei sitting on the ground.
If we say that Gu Family Hong Ye captivates hearts with a nine-tailed fox's enchanting aura, then Liu Yuren’s calmness mixed with laziness presents another kind of chilling presence; the more composed he is, the harder it becomes to find any weaknesses to exploit.
Huxin was still waiting to see more drama from Consort Mei, but was suddenly interrupted by Liu Yuren. Just as she was about to roll her eyes at him, a booming voice from Xia Yingba exploded in her ear,
“Foolish girl! What are you still doing standing there? Your master is calling you!”
Calling?
Huxin's delicate eyebrows furrowed fiercely, as if she were a little dog that needed to be called. Damn Liu Yuren! Why did he have to be so talkative? He enjoyed being a master and training the three hundred thousand troops at Border Defense, so why come back to bother her?
“Xiahou Gang'er's words were indeed somewhat inappropriate. However, given my current status, if I were to say that Huxin would come when called and leave when dismissed, I believe... Huxin would certainly cooperate fully,” Liu Yuren once again communicated with Huxin through Mind Transmission, a voice only they could hear.
Initially, Huxin merely frowned, but upon hearing Liu Yuren's words, the corners of her eyes and mouth twitched.
Just as she was about to explode, Xia Yingba's lion's roar erupted again, “Pig Girl! Are you going to make the General wait until tomorrow morning? Does the Xia Family not have enough to treat the General to dinner?”
Seeing that Huxin was slow to respond, Xia Yingba puffed up his cheeks in anger, looking as if he wanted to swallow Huxin whole.
Yet, Liu Yuren's calm and gentle voice came slowly from within the Liuli Soft Sedan,
“Xiahou, what are you saying? Huxin has dealt with me before and knows that my appetite is not large; a simple congee and side dishes will suffice. There’s no need for the lavish meals like those at Prince Ping's Mansion, where every meal is a feast of delicacies, shark fin soup for rinsing the mouth, and bird's nest as water. Even three years ago during the drought in the capital when the people suffered from hunger, Prince Ping still feasted in luxury, his residence never lacking in music and entertainment, nor did his meals ever change.”
While the first part of Liu Yuren's words seemed to mock Huxin, the latter part took a sharp turn and directly exposed Jing Tian'ao's background. Even someone as calm as Huxin couldn't help but admire what Liu Yuren had said.
“Huxin, I’m here to help you take revenge! Hehe…” Liu Yuren’s Mind Transmission once again reached Huxin's ears. Huxin blinked her eyes; the clarity in her gaze showed no signs of disturbance. She slightly parted her lips and used lip language to say something to Liu Yuren inside the opposite Palanquin, believing he could see it.
