Before he could think of what to say, Xu Mian looked at Xia Houchang sharply and said, "Miss Xiahou, Duke Xiahou is dead. You don't seem to be sad at all."
Xia Houchang suddenly choked.
Xu Mian continued: "It doesn't matter that I didn't mourn in the mourning hall, but now I am only thinking about my little master, which makes my subordinates puzzled."
Yin Lei was startled when he heard this, and then looked at Xia Houchang carefully, and indeed he did not see the slightest sad look in his eyes.
Even the haggard look on his face didn't seem to be caused by this incident.
Faced with Xu Mian's questioning and Yin Lei's scrutiny, Xia Houchang's expression turned ugly.
"You don't have to worry about whether I'm hurt or not? He is my father. If I'm not sad, you're sad? Who stipulated that when a father dies, his daughter must be mourned in the mourning hall? And what time is it? I don't want to sleep?! As for Ye Xuan, if I want to be with him, what does that have to do with you?!"
Xu Mian said: "My master is Emperor Yin, and my mistress is Emperor Yin's grandson. How come it doesn't matter? Also, I would like to advise you, forceful melons are not sweet."
"You! Presumptuous!" Xia Houchang's chest heaved up and down with Xu Mian's anger. He looked at Yin Lei and said, "Emperor Yin, you just let your housekeeper insult me like this?!"
"Amian!" Yin Lei turned around and scolded him again, "Shut up!"
Xu Mian: "...Yes."
Yin Lei turned to look at Xia Houchang, "Xiao Shang, I don't even know where Xiao Xuan is now, so you can't change..."
"No!" went to Xia Houchang to interrupt him, "I told you that you want to negotiate terms with me. You only have Ye Xuan as a bargaining chip. I don't want anyone else. How to send him to me is your business. You If you don’t agree, I will release the news about my father’s death tomorrow!”
Yin Lei almost broke his teeth when he heard this, "I agree, but you have to give me some time."
Xia Houchang said: "His poison has been cured and he may run away soon. I only give you two days. If you can't send him to me within two days, you will bear the consequences."
After saying that, she ignored the two of them, turned around and walked upstairs.
Xia Houchang's back disappeared behind the corner of the stairs, and Xu Mian said: "Emperor Yin! Can you tolerate such a yellow-haired girl being domineering in front of you?!"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Yin Lei said: "To master the armed forces of a country is to master the lifeblood of a country. I am accommodating to her in every possible way, not only because I want to block this news. She is the owner of the entire Xia Kingdom. The firearms designer whom all military forces rely on, I can’t offend anyone if I offend her!”
Xu Mian said: "But the poison in the little master's body has been cured, how can he be controlled by you again?"
"Let me think about it first." Yin Lei raised his hand and walked out.
After walking a few steps, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, "Yes!"
Xu Mian's eyebrows twitched, "What?"
Yin Lei said: "Order to bring Xiao Qi over. Quick, act now!"
Seeing the excitement in Yin Lei's eyes, Xu Mian shuddered all over.
"Emperor Yin, you won't threaten the Third Young Master with the Seventh Young Master, right?"
Yin Lei clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly: "If he had obeyed and made me worry-free, I wouldn't have made such a move."
Xu Mian felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, "But Emperor Yin, how did you know that the Third Young Master would give in for the Seventh Young Master? He loves Miss Qiao so much, how could he give up his lover for a half-brother?"
