What Li Xiao said was absolutely right. The reason why Alexandra brought Friedrich Karl to the door was to prevent Li Xiao from directly rejecting her. Because Li Xiao could refuse to give her face, but he would never refuse to give her face.
Friedrich Karl's face.
It has to be said that the Alexandra sisters are both smart enough and are really unfavorable on small issues. However, the two sisters have a much different view of the overall situation, especially Augusta who often suffers from small problems.
A big loss is typical of choosing sesame seeds and losing watermelons.
"Madam, Karl, welcome!" Li Xiao gave Friedrich Karl a warm hug, and then asked: "I was not prepared for this sudden visit. Did something happen?"
In fact, Alexandra is not particularly willing to deal with Li Xiao. She hates everything. She always feels that it was because of Li Xiao that Augusta made such a big mistake. If Li Xiao hadn't interfered with everything, nothing would have happened.
It won't happen. So if there is no other way, she really doesn't want to see someone.
She could only reply with a reluctant smile: "The main reason is that Karl hasn't seen you for a while, and he still wants to have a long chat with you!"
Friedrich Carl also probably knew the purpose of this trip. After all, he was considered a hero in the family, and he would probably be notified of important matters. Although he was impatient with politics, he also knew what happened to his second aunt suddenly having chickenpox.
If it looks weird, there must be something wrong.
So this time the old mother forced him to come to Li Xiao's place. Although he was confused, he still agreed honestly. But now the old mother pushed him to the front desk. He couldn't really let him have a long talk with someone!
Of course, Frederick Karl not only did not object to this, but was also very happy about it, but he knew that the old mother must have another purpose, but Alexandra did not tell him what the purpose was, and she could not let him just care about himself.
Let’s chat and leave the old mother’s business aside, right?
So he knocked on the old mother's door. The intention of consulting was obvious, but Alexandra had no intention of speaking immediately. Instead, she pretended not to see it. Now Frederick Karl was even more confused: [You
What exactly does it mean? Can you give me some accurate information!]
Watching the performance of the mother and son, Li Xiao became more and more convinced that something big must have happened within the Hohenzollern family, otherwise his cousin would not be so hesitant. But he was not in a hurry, and would just wait and see.
, it will taste better then.
So Li Xiao pretended not to know anything, and warmly and thoughtfully entertained Alexandra and her son for tea and chat, looking completely at ease.
After an hour or two like this, Alexandra finally couldn't help it anymore, because her idea before was to whet Li Xiao's appetite first. She believed that the other party could definitely see her intention, so that Li Xiao could
If you take the initiative to speak, it will be more natural for her and the other one to avoid being passive.
Why? Alexandra felt that if she took the initiative to ask Li Xiao, she would be in absolute passivity. What if Li Xiao refused? Then she wouldn't be able to get things done and would lose face.
To take a step back, even if Li Xiao didn't refuse, what if this guy asked for a high price and made a condition that made her uncomfortable?
All in all, Alexandra felt that it was better to stabilize herself first, at least not to let Li Xiao know that she was too anxious.
It's a pity that this is of no use, because Li Xiao really doesn't know what happened, and he is really not in a hurry. He believes that Alexandra will take the initiative to explain her intention since she is here.
In this regard, Alexandra really couldn't defeat Li Xiao. She soon discovered that this cousin was very difficult to deal with, just like a good fisherman who would exhaust all the fish's energy little by little. Finally, she waited
Unable to hold on any longer, I could only take the initiative and ask:
"...Have you ever visited Augusta?"
Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, but his face remained calm and he asked calmly: "What, is the prince's wife sick? I have been so busy negotiating recently that I really have no time to pay attention to other things. Is the situation serious?"
Alexandra spat in her heart again. She didn't believe Li Xiao's words at all. The previous leaks had caused quite a stir. How could someone as the main negotiator not know anything?
Alexandra felt that Li Xiao was pretending to be stupid on purpose, and she could tell from what someone said just now that he didn't mean what he said. When most people heard that Augusta was sick, in addition to asking about his condition, they would definitely express something.
, at least say that you want to visit Yi Er!
But a certain person showed no sign at all and made it clear that he didn’t want to visit the doctor. Why didn’t he want to visit the doctor? It was because he knew that Augusta was not sick at all but was under house arrest!
【You slippery little fox!】
Alexandra cursed secretly in her heart, and could only say: "It seems to be chickenpox! William strictly isolated Augusta in order to prevent infection..."
Speaking of this, Alexandra gave Li Xiao a meaningful look, as if to say: "You should understand!"
Of course Li Xiao understood this look, and since the strict quarantine for chickenpox was implicit in his words, he roughly understood the current state of Augusta after a moment's thought - most likely, he was under house arrest.
But why William I put his wife under house arrest is thought-provoking. However, Li Xiao is also a smart man, and he quickly thought of the leak case. He was also a little embarrassed by this leaker before, and the secret cooperation between them and Prussia
It almost got mixed up.
However, Li Xiao really didn't expect Augusta to be the leaker. He felt that Augusta was not that stupid. He thought it was probably Augusta who inadvertently leaked the news and was implicated.
"Chickenpox?" Li Xiao's mind was running at high speed, but he said haha: "This is troublesome, it really needs good care..."
But these words made Alexandra even more unhappy: [Nurse, you really don’t know whether Augusta is sick, and you still fight me, you are sincere!]
Alexandra hoped that Li Xiao would say "Let's take some time to visit Augusta", so that she could agree to it. Then Li Xiao would come to visit in person. She didn't believe that William I could still be rigid.
His face shuts people out.
It's a pity that Li Xiao didn't understand this at all, because he was not stupid. He knew that the water here was very deep, so how could he step in stupidly.
Li Xiao knew very well that Alexandra's purpose at this time was by no means simple. If he foolishly followed her rhythm, he would have to help count the money after being sold, so the best way was to pretend to be stupid and force him to
The other party explains what he said. Once he explains it, he can analyze the pros and cons and negotiate terms...
