Kuang Xiong didn't dare to stop him, so he had no choice but to go to Lixiang Tower to meet those brothers. He was very depressed, he didn't invite his eldest brother, and he couldn't do business with those brothers!
When he saw his brothers talking about it, none of them believed it. Kuang Xiong swears to the sky that no one will believe him, saying that he can't speak, and he must have angered the elder brother, so the elder brother refuses to come.
The mad bear was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
He is wronged!
Li Huaide returned to his courtyard and had dinner alone. All the women in the courtyard were sent away, and now it is very quiet around him.
His close maid Yingxiu felt that now that all the other beauties were gone, she was the one who was closest to the eldest son. This opportunity was really once in a lifetime.
She pretended to be careless, tripped herself, and wanted to fall into Shizi's arms.
In the past, Guo Shizi used to tease her from time to time, and she fully thought that Shizi would go along with the flow and hug her. Then, with half-push and half-do it, good things will happen tonight. Those seductive vixens are gone, maybe I can be a concubine.
Li Huaide reacted quickly, seeing that she was about to fall, he dodged and left.
Ying Xiu fell on the chair firmly, and Li Huaide said coldly: "You don't need to wait here, go out!"
Yingxiu Huarong stood up without a sound, Li Huaide called Guo Shou and said: "Send her to another courtyard, she is not needed here."
Guo Shou sighed, hey, she looked clever at first, why is she so stupid? The prince has just sent away so many beauties, and you are jumping up, aren't you courting death? Can't you wait for ten days and half a month? At that time, I'm afraid you won't need to jump up.
Ying Xiu was frightened half to death, plopped on the ground, crawled towards Shi Ziye, and shouted: "Shi Zi, slaves don't dare anymore!"
Li Huaide hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand cruelly. Guo Shou stepped forward and dragged Ying Xiu out.
Huaixiu watched from the side, secretly rejoicing, luckily she rushed first, luckily I didn't have time.
After that, she waited on Li Huaide calmly and carefully, not daring to mess around.
The eldest maid next to Shi Ziye is also a very decent job.
Xu Susu heard the noise here, and sent someone to inquire. After learning that it was this, she couldn't help being secretly surprised.
She thought to herself: Holding the grass, has he really changed his mind? Don't eat what is brought to your mouth
She ordered Lilac and Haitang, who were close to her, to guard the door tightly and not let the prince slip in and make tricks.
Ding Xiang's two maids took turns to watch over the night, and nothing happened.
Shizi never came.
When paying his respects the next day, the Marquis of Jeju knew that his son had read the information for a day, so he picked some questions to test his son.
Li Huaide answered fluently and put forward some far-sighted suggestions, and Jeju Hou nodded again and again.
He looked at this son, the more he looked at it, the more he fell in love with him, and thought: It really is my son, he was just playing around before. When he got serious, he was much better than those guys' sons.
Li Huaide had breakfast and went to work again.
He began to make friends with officials of the intelligence department and even generals of the army.
The Marquis of Jeju saw it, but didn't take it seriously. On the contrary, he felt that this was a sign of his son's progress.
Mrs. Hou looked even more delighted. In the past, she was so worried that the Hou Mansion would fall into the hands of the concubine. Now that her son is promising and knows how to seize power, she raises her hands to support her, and keeps saying good things in front of Lord Hou. I wish the Marquis would pass on the title to his son now.
On the fifth day of the Intelligence Department, Li Huaide led people to catch a big spy. The spy sent by the neighboring state has been lurking in Jeju for more than ten years, and now serves as the Hou Ye's staff.
This time, not only Lord Hou looked at the prince with admiration, but also the civil and military officials in Jeju were shocked.
With this credit, Li Huaide began to win over the civil servants and generals of Jeju. It is not easy to do this kind of thing as his son.
It seems that Li Huaide still doesn't go home until late at night every day as before, but in the past he did bullying, drank flower wine and stayed in brothels. Now he is busy with official business during the day, and he makes friends with either civil servants, generals, or the deacons and elders of Chunshui Temple. In the eyes of Jeju Hou and others, this is completely normal entertainment.
It is worth mentioning that Li Huaide respects Xu Susu very much. As long as there is nothing wrong, I will go home to eat and live. Occasionally, if something does not come back, someone will be notified.
In the public occasions where she appeared together with Xu Susu, they all treated her with respect and gave her enough face.
People in the upper echelons of Jeju all said that Shizi was a real prodigal son, and that Mrs. Shizi had good means and good fortune.
After Elder Xu heard about it, he couldn't believe it and ran into the Hou Mansion from the inner courtyard on the mountain to see it. He was a little dazed when he saw his son-in-law, who was upright, respectful and decent, and in high spirits.
Holding the grass, this change is also a bit big.
After personally testing the cultivation base and spells of his apprentice and son-in-law, Elder Xu said to his daughter with joy, "Susu! Look, dad did not choose the wrong son-in-law! It's not my bragging, there are not many disciples in the inner courtyard now. He is comparable to Demin. You have to live with him well and stop being petty."
What can Xu Susu say
Everyone saw Guo Demin's change, she could not argue with it, and nodded lightly in embarrassment.
Elder Xu gave his son-in-law a large bottle of elixir, and returned to the mountain happily.
That night, Xu Susu thought that the son would take advantage of the heat and sneak into her room.
As a result, she lost her mind.
Li Huaide respectfully sent her back to the inner room, turned around and went back to his own room.
Xu Susu felt a little lost.
Haitang pouted and said, "What's the matter, my son? Today is such a good opportunity, I don't know how to fight for it."
Lilac is sweating, hold the grass! When did the good sisters rebel? How did you stand on Shizi's side
Haitang complained again: "Miss, you are too, the prince has already sent you to the door, so you won't invite him in for a cup of tea."
Xu Susu was speechless. Please, I made an oath before, not to step into my room this year. I didn't have time to prevent him from sneaking in, so I opened the door to invite him in? Are you out of your mind
Ding Xiang said thoughtfully: "The son has changed a lot. According to his current performance, it is not wrong for the young lady to marry him."
Haitang hurriedly said: "That's right! In the past, the prince was very attractive to women, but now the prince goes out, I don't know how many young ladies secretly look at him!"
Now Guo Demin's image in the upper class society in the city has greatly improved. It is completely a model of the prodigal son returning to the gold.
The wives and ladies are all rumoring that in order to win Xu Susu's favor, he changed everything and dismissed all the beauties. He is really infatuated and enviable.
It was passed around, Xu Susu didn't believe it, but Ding Xiang and Haitang already believed it.
Now Guo Shizi really guards his body like a jade, and there is no woman around him. It's just unbelievable.
If it was a month ago, they would never believe that Guo Shizi would become such a person.
Looking at Guo Shizi now, Ding Xiang and Haitang feel that they are witnessing a miracle every day.
Just like a living person who has undergone a great transformation, the adulterous son of the eldest son has turned into a gentle and noble son who is as gentle as a orchid and a jade tree.
He was not only very polite to Xu Susu, but also very kind to the servants in the courtyard.
