Chapter 3
Early the next morning.

"Yu'er."

Seeing Xie Lingyu coming, Mrs. Li from the first house greeted her politely.

Xie Lingyu had a decent smile on her face: "Hello, sister-in-law."

He didn't care at all about Li's indifference.

Two children were sent to her for no apparent reason, so she should be a little dissatisfied.

Maybe he thought she was being sarcastic.

Mrs. Hou hadn't appeared yet, and the twins were following her, dawdling.

Li was only accompanied by Dafang's only heir, Xu Zhizhi.

The little girl was raised very well by Mrs. Li.

"This is Zhi'er, right? Yuxue from Chuluo is cute. I have a nephew who is about the same age as Zhi'er. He can walk around more in the future."

Xie Lingyu winked with a smile, and He Yue took out a jade pendant and handed it to Xu Zhizhi.

"This is a greeting gift from my aunt to Zhi'er, just take it and play with it."

Xu Zhizhi is soft and cute, but also very polite. Seeing that her mother had no objection, she stretched out her chubby hand and took it.

Ruanhuhu said: "Zhi'er, thank you, aunt."

When Mrs. Li saw Xie Lingyu casually giving her daughter the fine Hetian jade pendant, she immediately calmed down her original expression.

Yesterday at the wedding, she only glanced at Xie Lingyu from afar.

Now I took a closer look and couldn't help being surprised.

She originally thought that the rumors about how good the legitimate daughter of the Xie family was, were all created by the Xie family in order to seek a good marriage.

Unexpectedly, at first glance, Xie Lingyu was clearly more dazzling than the rumors said.

She is obviously a woman who has just stepped out of the palace, but her aura is no weaker than that of the head mistress.

Mrs. Li thought for a moment and then motioned to the maid beside her to take Xu Zhizhi into the carriage.

Xie Lingyu also asked Taoyue Heyue to take Xu Jiaxu away first.

Mrs. Li looked at Xie Lingyu, trying to see what she really thought.

Their eldest son's status was low in the Marquis Mansion. For so many years, his eldest son had only held a casual position in the Hanlin Academy and was idle at home all day long.

It is clear that the uncle is the eldest son of the Hou family, but because of the intervention of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Song, he cannot even enter the Sixth Division.

If they can get married to the Xie family, their eldest family...

How could Xie Lingyu, a second wife, help them?

Xie Lingyu naturally saw Li's doubts.

"Leng Yu has just entered the Marquis's house, and he will need a lot of help from his sister-in-law in the future. I also need my sister-in-law to take care of the twins. The children are somewhat similar to the prince, and my mother loves those two children very much."

"Sister-in-law said that if the child is entered into the family tree as soon as possible, everyone will be happy!"

There were no outsiders around, so Xie Lingyu naturally didn't shy away.

Meeting Li's surprised eyes, Xie Lingyu said word by word, "The old lady and I are both happy."

An old lady from the Hou family and a legitimate daughter from the Xie family.

Mr. Li immediately agreed.

"What Yu'er said is absolutely true. When I return from Kaibao Temple, I will gather the clan members to create a genealogy for the child."

"There will never be a slight difference!"

Li paused and added.

Xie Lingyu also nodded with a smile.

Li is a smart person, so Xie Lingyu is naturally willing to help her.

"what's the topic?"

Song's voice came from far away.

She came with a pair of twins.

Xie Lingyu glanced at Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li immediately took two steps forward, pulled the twins over one by one, and without waiting for Ms. Song to react, she stuffed the children into her carriage.

"You, what are you doing?"

"Mother, I love these two children. The old lady also let them live in my big house. Naturally, they want to ride in the same carriage as me and Zhi'er, so that we can cultivate our relationship."

Grandma Zhou was preparing to snatch the child.

"Mother Zhou, my mother doesn't look good. Why don't you send her to the carriage quickly?" Xie Lingyu said lightly.

Grandma Zhou turned around and saw that Mrs. Song's face was indeed pale.

But it was obviously out of anger.

But Li had already boarded the carriage.

Xie Lingyu also turned around and got into his carriage.

Watching one or two of them turn around and leave.

Mrs. Song was furious.

It was only with the support of Aunt Zhou that I could barely stand.

"Look, these two people don't even have me as their mother-in-law in their eyes."

"Ms. Li has always been timid and cowardly, but now she dares to resist me. It must be Xie Lingyu who instigated her. Poor Huai'er, who married such a poisonous woman!"

"Madam, let's get on the carriage quickly and don't miss the time to pray for Prince Huai."

Aunt Zhou reminded in a low voice.

Mrs. Song took a deep breath and said, "Yes, praying for Huai'er is the most important thing."

Her movements of lifting her feet were frozen in place.

There is a carriage at the end of the motorcade, which is incompatible with the front. It is inlaid with gold and jade, and even the curtains are made of high-quality silk and satin. It is many times more luxurious.

The grooms driving the car have extraordinary temperament.

Mrs. Song glanced at her carriage and then at that one.

"That is……"

"That's the dowry of the Crown Prince's wife, brought from the Xie Mansion."

Greed flashed in Song's eyes.

"Since it is a dowry, it belongs to my Marquis Mansion, and it belongs to Huai'er. I am Huai'er's mother, so naturally I should use this carriage. Let her get down!"

The ancestors of the Song family were also famous for a while, but they have long since declined. When it comes to the Song family, they have long been no different from ordinary people.

It was only because of the name of Qingliu's descendant that he reluctantly entered into a marriage with the Hou Mansion.

Although the Hou Mansion is a lord, it has only been passed down for three generations since the old Lord Hou, and the Hou Mansion does not have much property at all.

The family has a big business but not a big one. The Marquis can only support such a big family with a decent salary and can barely make ends meet.

There were some real estate shops, but Ms. Song had no talent in management, and those she took over were unable to make ends meet.

Later, the old lady couldn't stand it anymore and took charge of the middle school of the house again.

Whether it was before or after the Song family got married.

I haven't seen anything good.

In short, it is a low vision.That makes him look greedy.

Aunt Zhou looked troubled: "Before Mrs. Shizi got married, the Marquis Mansion promised that the dowry would be used for one's own use without confiscation."

The crown prince was able to marry the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, which was already a high achievement. How could the Hou family dare to take advantage of others?

"what?"

Song screamed.

"Why didn't I know about such a big thing?"

"The old lady agreed."

"Confused!"

Mrs. Song rolled her eyes and almost fainted.

Nanny Zhou, with quick eyes and quick hands, hurriedly helped Ms. Song get into the carriage.

In the carriage, Mrs. Song's eyes were wide-eyed.

"My grandson is gone, our money is gone, Huai'er will blame me as my mother when she comes back."

"No, Aunt Zhou, hurry up and fix the book and let Huai'er rush back to Shengjing as soon as possible."

Aunt Zhou lowered her head: "I was sent away yesterday. Prince Huai should be able to return to Shengjing in less than a month."

Mrs. Song glanced at Aunt Zhou with satisfaction: "You are still smart. You know what to do before I even tell you."

Aunt Zhou's real name was Zhou Ying, and she was her dowry maid. Originally, the Song family planned to give Aunt Zhou to the Marquis as a favor during her pregnancy, but Aunt Zhou refused to obey and even asked to leave the house.

After she gave birth to a child, Grandma Zhou also gave birth to children one after another.

She was too busy, so she asked Aunt Zhou to come back to the house.

After this experience, Mrs. Song naturally had more trust in Aunt Zhou, and Aunt Zhou became her confidant in one fell swoop.

Aunt Zhou's eyes flashed, she bent even lower, and she just smiled.

"Girls don't matter. Brother Qi must be recorded in Xie Lingyu's name and become the eldest son. Brother Qi is smart, and with the help of the Xie family, he will definitely have a smooth career in the future. And the dowry must be obtained, Zhou Mammy, please think of a way for me."

Mrs. Song gritted her teeth and said.

The dowry was not just a small amount. On the day of the wedding, the carriage containing the dowry circled the Hou Mansion three times.

Countless treasures and several boxes of gifts from the Queen Mother.

How could she not be jealous?
"Madam, don't worry, everything in the Hou Mansion belongs to Prince Huai, and no one can touch it." Aunt Zhou smiled.

Xie Lingyu leaned against the car window, her posture was wanton and lazy, but she still had grace.

The wind blew by and rolled up the hair on her temples.

What a beautiful picture.

He Yue felt that his wife seemed to have changed.

In the past, when ladies were very polite, how could they talk back to their elders, and how could they be as free and unrestrained as they are now.

But this kind of lady seems more alive, more like her when she was a child.

Xie Lingyu asked casually while peeling the lychees sent by Lingnan Kuaima in his hand.

"He Yue, what happened to what I asked you to check yesterday?"

He Yue frowned: "Madam, I sent someone back to my house yesterday to find out that many people have died in the Zhuangzi where the third lady grew up, and a few have disappeared. After some investigation, it turned out that there was actually a person in that Zhuangzi. No one knows the third lady, and no one knows what the third lady went through in those ten years."

Xie Lingyu nodded without surprise.

If she could find out so easily, she wouldn't have been deceived for so long in her previous life.

"Let me continue the investigation and notify me immediately if there are any clues."

Xie Ling's jade-white fingers pinched slightly with force.

Juice bursts and splashes.

The lychee was peeled out completely.

She handed it to Xu Jiaxu beside her.

The carriage shook, and Xu Jiaxu sat upright without moving at all.

Even his eyes were blank.

I didn't dare to look around, I just kept my head down.

From the moment he got on the carriage, he clutched his sleeves tightly, fearing that he would break something.

He held it tightly, then suddenly let it go, and hurriedly smoothed the folds of his clothes.

These are the clothes that Xie Lingyu ordered to prepare for him yesterday. There was no time to cut the cloth and make clothes. It is a round-neck gown that Taoyue bought in a hurry when she was out. The material is the best Shu brocade that he has never worn before.

Xu Jiaxu treated this piece of clothing very carefully.

My walking pace in the morning is not as fast as before, for fear of wrinkles.

At this moment, he was struggling with a fold that couldn't be opened, when a round, white and tender lychee suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

He was stunned.

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Xie Lingyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Don't you like Jiaxu? There are other things."

"No." Xu Jiaxu interrupted her quickly.

He took it carefully.

"The kids like it very much."

I took a small bite of the lychee.

He took a bite and looked up at her.

Xie Lingyu looked at him with a bit of heartache in his eyes.

This child has lived in such hardship since he was a child, but he still maintains a kind heart.

If he hadn't risked being discovered by giving her medicine and food, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to preserve her last trace of dignity before her death.

The legitimate daughter of a prominent family was starved to death.

How ridiculous.

how sad.

Xie Lingyu stroked the mustache that Taoyue had tied for him.

It seemed like a promise, extremely firm.

"Jiaxu, you will become my eldest son."

Xu Jiaxu was stunned. The juice was flowing down his fingers, but he didn't notice it at all.

He just looked at Xie Lingyu blankly.

unbelievable.

If he becomes a concubine or an adopted son, his life will be much better than before, and he will no longer have to eat scraps.

He never dreamed of becoming a legitimate son.

Still the eldest son.

This means that even if Xie Lingyu gives birth to a child in the future, his status will not be shaken.

Even Xuanwuhou Mansion might...
