Chapter 722

What Li Xiao said was right. The reason why Alexandra brought Frederick Karl to the door was to prevent Li Xiao from directly rejecting her. Because Li Xiao may not give her face, but he will definitely not give Frederick Karl face.

I have to say that the Alexandra sisters are smart enough to be invincible in small issues, but well, the two sisters have a much different outlook on the overall situation, especially when Augusta often suffers from small problems. Big loss, typical picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon.

"Madam, Karl, welcome!" Li Xiao warmly gave Frederick Karl a hug, and then asked, "I didn't prepare for the sudden visit. Did something happen?"

Actually, Alexandra is not particularly willing to deal with Li Xiao. She hates the house, and she always feels that it is because of Li Xiao that Augusta made such a big mistake. If Li Xiao didn't disturb everything will not happen. So if it's not impossible, she really doesn't want to see someone.

She could only reluctantly reply with a smile: "The main reason is that Karl hasn't seen you for a while, and he still wants to have a long talk with you!"

Frederick Karl also probably knew the purpose of this trip. After all, he is considered a hero in the family, and most important things will be notified to him. Although he is impatient with politics, he also knows why the second aunt suddenly got chickenpox. See how strange, there must be a problem.

So this time he was forced by his old mother to come to Li Xiao's place. Although he didn't understand why, he still agreed honestly. But now the old mother has pushed him to the foreground, so he can't really have a long talk with someone!

Of course, Frederick Karl is not only not against it, but also very happy about it, but he knows that the old mother must have another purpose, but Alexandra didn't tell him what the purpose is, so he can't let him only care about himself Chatting will leave the old mother's business aside, right?

So he knocked on the old mother, and the meaning of consultation was obvious, but Alexandra didn't mean to speak immediately, but pretended not to see it. Now Frederick Karl was even more inexplicable: [What do you mean, can you give me a confirmation letter! 】

Watching the performance of the mother and son, Li Xiao became more and more convinced that something serious must have happened within the Hohenzollern family, otherwise his cousin could not be in such a hesitant manner. But he wasn't in a hurry, he simmered slowly on a small fire, and the taste would be better by then.

So Li Xiao pretended not to know anything, and warmly and thoughtfully entertained Alexandra and her mother to drink tea and chat, completely in a leisurely manner.

An hour or two passed like this,

Alexandra finally couldn't bear it anymore, because her idea was to whet Li Xiao's appetite first, and she believed that the other party would definitely be able to see her intentions, so that Li Xiao would take the initiative to speak, and her side would be more natural The second is also better to avoid being passive.

why? Alexandra felt that if she took the initiative to ask Li Xiao, she would fall into absolute passivity. What if Li Xiao refused? Then she couldn't do things well and lost face.

Taking a step back, even if Li Xiao didn't reject it outright, what if this kid asked for a price that made her uncomfortable?

All in all, Alexandra felt that it was better to stabilize first, at least not let Li Xiao know that she was too anxious.

It's a pity that this is useless, because Li Xiao really doesn't know what happened, and he is really not in a hurry. He believes that since Alexandra came, she will take the initiative to explain her intentions.

In this regard, Alexandra really couldn't exhaust Li Xiao. She soon found out that this cousin was very difficult to deal with, just like a skilled fisherman would exhaust all the energy of the fish little by little. Finally, she couldn't wait any longer, so she could only take the initiative to ask:

"...Have you ever visited Augusta?"

Li Xiao was taken aback for a moment, but his expression remained calm, and he asked calmly, "Why, is the Prince's wife sick? I've been busy negotiating recently and really don't have 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. There was a lot of noise about leaks before. How could someone who is the main negotiator know nothing?

Alexandra felt that Li Xiao was pretending to be stupid on purpose, and from what someone said just now, he could tell that his words were insincere. When people hear that Augusta is sick, they must express something besides asking about the condition. , At least say that you are going to visit Yi Er!

But a certain person didn't say anything at all, and made it clear that he didn't want to visit the doctor. Why don't you want to visit a doctor? It is because he knows that Augusta is not sick at all but is under house arrest!

【You slippery little fox! 】

Alexandra cursed secretly in her heart, and could only say again: "It seems to be chickenpox! William strictly isolated Augusta to prevent infection..."

Speaking of this, Alexandra gave Li Xiao a meaningful look, as if to say: "You should understand!"

Of course Li Xiao understands this look, and because the strict isolation of chickenpox is inherent in his words, he roughly understands the current state of Augusta after a little thought-it is almost impossible to be under house arrest.

But why did William I put his wife under house arrest? This makes people think deeply, but Li Xiao is also a smart person, and he quickly thought of the leak case. He was also a little embarrassed by the leaker before. The secret cooperation between them and Prussia It almost got mixed up.

However, Li Xiao really didn't expect that Augusta was the leaker. He didn't think Augusta was that stupid.

"Chickenpox?" Li Xiao's brain was running at high speed, but he said haha: "This is troublesome, and it really needs to be taken care of..."

But these words made Alexandra even more upset: [Nursing the wool, you really don't know if Augusta is sick, but you still fight with me haha, you are sincere! 】

How much Alexandra hoped that Li Xiao could answer "Let's take some time to visit Augusta", so that she could agree with the situation, and then Li Xiao would visit the door in person. She did not believe that William I could still be rigid. The face shuts people out.

It's a pity that Li Xiao doesn't understand this question at all, because he is not stupid, knowing that the water here is very deep, how could he step into it foolishly.

Li Xiao knows very well that Alexandra's purpose at this time is by no means pure. If she foolishly follows her rhythm, she will have to help count the money if she is sold, so the best way is to pretend to be stupid and force The other party explained. This statement shows that it is easy to analyze the pros and cons and negotiate the conditions...
