After the reconciliation, the villainous stepmother has blessed the world!

Xiahou Huaixin had always been so arrogant that he would not allow himself to suffer losses, and now he was not afraid of embarrassment.

However, as soon as the housekeeper came forward, he said honestly: "My lord, I can call you, but the eldest lady has said that you will not be allowed to vent your personal anger..."

"???" Xiahou Huaixin was startled, "What do you mean? Did she already know?"

"The eldest lady said that you need to be more observant and use your brain in everything, so that you can avoid being plotted by others. It is not easy for our Xiahou Mansion to be inherited to this day. If you can't distinguish even this little thing and can't bear your temper, Then sooner or later you will suffer a loss." The butler said seriously even though he was heartbroken.

Xiahou Huaixin was speechless.

If she was just a wife, he would have cursed her a long time ago, but now... my sister is probably worried that he will be bullied because he is not tactful and smart enough...

Although it is very depressing, but...

It's also a well-intentioned thing. If you feel guilty, doesn't it seem a little ungrateful?

He had a tangled look on his face, full of resentment. After hesitating for a while, he finally ran to Su Xin.

Suxin was practicing calligraphy, and her hand holding the brush was very steady, and she could control every stroke just right. Xiahou Huaixin was originally impatient, so he didn't dare to express his anger. After she finished writing the chapter, she paused for a while. , then spoke: "Sister, do you think our Xiahou family is having a hard time? Let me tell you, you are wrong! You are absolutely wrong."

Suxin looked up at him.

"Our family is the most comfortable in the whole capital. I don't need to be as careful and vigilant as you said. Really." Xiahou Huaixin felt that it must have been the short-lived incident that scared her, so she thought It's not easy to get along in Beijing.

This capital city is the most comfortable place!

"Look, our family is protected by His Majesty. Although the princes are not close to our family, none of them are against us, just like Prince Lin. You snatched someone from him a few days ago, but After sending several doctors to treat the princess, the prince accepted it very politely, and even asked someone to send a thank you gift... So, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, our family will be as safe as a rock! "Xiahou Huaixin said.

"What if someone forces you to take sides in the future?" Su Xin asked.

"How could it be? Our family has no real power, it's just a title. Who cares?" Xiahou Huaixin was quite proud.

Suxin smiled helplessly: "Is it possible that they have already thought about asking you to take sides, but... you don't understand?"

"Although you have no real power, none of the dignitaries in the capital are as famous and popular among the people as Zhenguo Gongfu. Even if you used to love gambling and idle work, the people talk about Zhenguo Gongfu. , there are still no bad words, this alone is enough to make several princes want to recruit you."

"You said Prince Lin returned the courtesy and thanked you, why did you say that? Naturally, I hope you think he is generous and kind. If you show respect to him, what do you think others will think?" Su Xin asked again.

"???" Xiahou Huaixin was confused, "Isn't it just a return gift... normal?"

"Think about it, what did he give?" Su Xin said.

"Isn't it just some tea leaves, a mat, two old ginseng sticks, a few pieces of nanbu..." Xiahou Huaixin was dumbfounded. When he saw his sister's expression, he panicked a little. Could it be that there was something here that he couldn't accept? ?

"That tea is for the royal family. I guess the concubines and princes don't have much in their hands. He gave it all to you. The mat is made of ivory. It takes more than a hundred elephants to make one mat. Those pieces of nanbu cannot be bought in the market, and they are still not even available to the concubines in the palace. Brother, do you still think that this thank you gift is very ordinary?" Su Xin sighed.

Xiahou Huaixin was startled: "Why does a shabby mat need so many ivory?! I don't know!"

"This gift was carried directly through the door and caught your eyes. At that time, you simply heard it and asked someone to accept it. My sister-in-law couldn't go against your wishes. When you mentioned it to me afterwards, I realized that such a thing was harmful to the world. Things." Su Xin said again.

Xiahou Huaixin's brain was buzzing.

He did hear about the ivory mat at that time, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He just thought that it might be woven from something, and it looked as white and smooth as ivory. After all, who would have thought that this ivory could be used to make mats?

"Prince Lin, Prince Lin, is he..." Xiahou Huaixin wanted to say whether the prince was sick.

To give such a rare thing...

"The Xiahou Mansion has not held any happy events for many years, and the old lady is keeping an eye on it. Even when you got married, it was said that it was just a small event and no big gifts were confiscated. They couldn't give you some fun things. It would be bad if His Majesty knew about it. It's not easy now. If we have an opportunity to interact, we wouldn't let it go." Su Xin said frankly.

Xiahou Huaixin has become accustomed to being dissolute these years. He only thinks about how to spend the rest of his life in a free and easy way. How can he consider those princes?

He didn't even notice the goodwill shown by others, and thought that all the princes were extremely friendly and treated him like a family member.

Maybe, those princes were also scolding him in their hearts, they only knew how to take advantage of him and not let anything go.

Xiahou Huaixin touched his head and began to recall the past.

Several princes... seem to have given him things?

He felt that His Majesty treated him well and the princes treated him well, so he really didn’t think much about it...

So, this gift is not just a gift, but actually, you want him to make a statement?

Suddenly, a feeling of being stupid came to mind.

His face was burning.

"Sister, you know, I didn't care about this before... I will be smarter from now on!" Xiahou Huaixin's confidence became even less confident, and he completely forgot why he came here.

I didn't have time to blame Suxin for not telling the truth, but instead I felt guilty...

"Brother is simple-minded, so it's inevitable that he doesn't understand. Just learn more in the future." Su Xin smiled at him, "Brother, is there anything else you can do?"

"No more...I originally planned to use this mat for you." Xiahou Huaixin also knew Su Xin's preferences. She would definitely not like this kind of thing. After thinking about it, he said: "I will collect it in the warehouse first. In the future, Find an opportunity to return it to Prince Lin."

"You can tell what kind of person you are in his eyes from the gifts he gave you." Su Xin added before he left.

Xiahou Huaixin paused and thought for a while: "You mean, in King Lin's eyes, I am extravagant, love enjoyment and even... waste my life, so he sent this object, thinking that I would like it?"

After saying that, Xiahou Huaixin himself fell silent for a moment.

I guess I feel a little uncomfortable.

Suxin didn't answer, and Xiahou Huaixin walked away in silence.

"Why didn't you tell him about your identity?" Song Xuezhen felt that the duke was a bit stupid and pitiful.

"Sister Xuezhen, how many more relaxed days can he have?" Su Xin smiled, "Now he is using his brain a little bit, trying to improve the relationship with his sister-in-law, and taking care of the family affairs, so that he can be able to worry more about other people in the future. of."
