However, she had spent so much effort to plan for Xia Kingdom, and in the end, she did not end up well.
Xia Li was like this now. His expression was burning, begging and pleading.
He knew what kind of person he was under the surface, and he knew that Xia Li had already set a marriage contract with his future daughter in Xia Kingdom.
Xia Ling watched coldly as he put on an act. She would not be affected by him at all. She was just waiting to see how a clown would jump up and down in front of her.
And she would play along, and she would definitely gain the greatest benefit for herself.
*
Xia Ling did not say a word.
She stood there with her eyes lowered, looking as if she was deep in thought.
"Cough"
Around the corner, Ying Chun's cough suddenly sounded.
Xia Ling glanced to the side from the corner of her eyes. A few young ladies came in groups. The one in the lead seemed to be the first daughter of the Lin family. She walked in the middle and was surrounded by a group of young ladies. They were talking and laughing together.
Xia Li was beside Xia Ling. The sound of laughter could be heard. Xia Li knew some martial arts, so he could see more clearly than Xia Ling.
There was a deep look on his handsome face. Xia Li turned around and stared at Xia Ling with a meaningful expression.
"Madam Xia, aren't we avoiding suspicion? "
Avoiding suspicion?
Ha, was he using this matter to threaten her?
Xia Ling curved her lips and smiled casually. "Crown Prince Xia, do as you please. I'm just a pet concubine anyway. It's not a big deal if my reputation is a little bad. As long as I can use my body to serve others, it's enough. "
If someone saw her alone with Xia Li, even if there was nothing between her and Xia Li, this man and woman would be known by everyone.
However, if the news of her meeting Xia Li alone spread, Xia Ling believed that she wouldn't be the one who would be affected the most.
Hadn't Xia Li suffered enough at Gu Yan's place Damn
Did he feel that he had been enjoying himself too much recently in the capital and that no one was trying to stop him?
"Mrs. Xia, I didn't expect you to come here. I wonder if Mrs. Xia has met Crown Prince Xia. The banquet is about to begin. I don't know where Crown Prince Xia has gone. A servant said that he's heading this way. "
Lin Qian walked over slowly and bowed with a smile.
Whether it was etiquette or posture, from the surface, Lin Qian's actions didn't seem to be beneath the Lin public house's dignity.
But, from the way she looked at Xia Ling, Xia Ling could still sense hostility.
This hostility lowered Lin Qian's graciousness and made Xia Ling feel that she wasn't the same type of person as Lin Qian and the other girls.
They were obviously the same age, but she didn't have as many fantasies about love as Lin Qian and the others.
A few simple lines of poetry, a beautiful skin, and a few men's generous methods were enough to make a young girl fall in love.
Xia Li's tricks were shallow and useful.
As for Xia Ling..
Before Lin Qian came over, she heard Xia Li's voice as he flew past her.
He's so powerful, don't hide if you have the ability?
Xia Ling secretly curled her lips. She despised Xia Li for being so calm on the surface, but he was actually so cautious on the inside.
She thought that he was really going to stay and get entangled with her in the rumors In the end, wasn't he still concerned about his gentle and refined reputation as a young master?
Xia Ling said calmly to Lin Qian, "we just met and parted ways after a simple greeting. Miss Lin, if you want to look for him, you can bring some people to look for him again. "
"I'm not... " Lin Qian's face turned red. She wanted to explain, but she stopped herself. "sorry to bother you, Mrs. Xia, but the banquet is about to begin. Please go to the main hall. I've already asked the housekeeper to make the arrangements. "
