The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

Chapter 1: Bringing up a baby before getting married

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Shangyuan Festival.

The city of Yanjing was bustling with activity.Everywhere in the streets and alleys, families of all ages are having fun, setting off lanterns, admiring fireworks, and guessing crossword puzzles, creating a scene of harmony, beauty, and reunion.

Even the officials who have been sitting in the imperial city for a long time are in high spirits and are particularly happy today.The curfew was temporarily lifted, and taking advantage of the peace of the group, he took the Queen and his wife to parade through the streets with hundreds of officials to enjoy themselves with the people.

But the noisy laughter and laughter falling on Qingduhou's house made the house feel particularly lonely.

While the eldest maid Xuanhe was standing outside the Nuanxiang Pavilion waiting respectfully with a light in her hand, Xu Yaqin, the matron of the house as the wife of the Marquis of Qingdu, sighed slowly and then walked slowly from the room to the courtyard.

Today is the 38th day that Xu Yaqin came through the book.

She had nothing to do on the weekend, lying at home and reading novels. Who would have thought that just after she posted a comment about her heartache for the male co-star, her vision went dark.

When she woke up again, she had already entered the ancient novel "Power to the World".

Wearing books means wearing books. The headache for Xu Yaqin is that she has to raise cubs for others.

Let her take care of the baby alone?

Exciting to think about.

Xu Yaqin remembers the plot of the original book. She is now the wife of the Marquis of Qingdu in Yandu City.

To be precise, she is the popular person next to the current emperor, a general who has stabilized the country and made great achievements in war, and is known to everyone as the Marquis of Qingdu Sheng Lixuan - the new wife's second wife.

Xu Yaqin could only take one step at a time, but if she couldn't, she might as well run away.Anyway, she was sent as a surprise by the Xu family.

It was only because the Xu family was quite powerful, and their father Xu Zhi was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so he was better informed. He was the first to be carried into the Marquis Mansion in a sedan chair. Only then did Xu Yaqin win the first place among the ladies who were sent there, and Xu Yaqin was able to sit there. In the position of the eldest lady.

Although this Qingdu Marquis may seem quite popular, in the end he was just reduced to cannon fodder in the original work. He was used as a chess piece and became a victim of court struggles. Not only did he die on the battlefield, but his head was chopped off and hung in the palace. Corpses were exposed on the city tower for three days.

According to the progress of the plot, this world-famous general should be recuperating in the imperial city at this moment.

Sheng Lixuan was attacked by aliens at the border. Due to the delay in the arrival of reinforcements, he was left alone and helpless. He forced his way out with only a dozen cavalry, but was seriously injured and almost died.

Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor summoned famous doctors from various places and placed Sheng Lixuan in the imperial city to recuperate and treat his illness.According to the news, the situation is not optimistic and Sheng Lixuan is still unconscious.

So now all the housework inside and outside the Qingdu Hou Mansion falls on Xu Yaqin alone.

She has been too busy these days just to be familiar with all the big and small things.Now I still have time to take care of this three-year-old young master I have never met before.

If this young master was just an ordinary three-year-old child, he could still try to coax him.

But she is familiar with the plot of the original work. This young master is not an ordinary child. He has the ability of telepathy and can detect other people's inner thoughts.

This is what troubles Xu Yaqin the most.

"Let's go, Xuanhe, let's go take a look too."

"Why has this young master refused to eat for a whole day? Why is he still crying and insisting on seeing his father?"

"Who says it's not the case?" Xuan He sighed, "Madam, you don't know that our young master is very stubborn. If he is not satisfied with what he is determined to do, he will not listen to anyone's words. We really don't have it. I figured it out, so I thought I’d ask you to come over and have a look.”

"Didn't those two people pass by early?" Xu Yaqin's lips curled up slightly.

She knew in her heart that from the first day she entered the mansion, the second lady and the third lady had been eyeing the position of her mistress. They had long wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get closer to the young master, so that everyone in the mansion could Let's see who can take good care of the young master.

There were several young ladies from wealthy families who were sent to the Qingdu Marquis Mansion at the same time as her.Some of them are people who, like the Xu family, want to get close to the Qingdu Houfu, but most of them are political opponents of the Qingduhou.For example, the second wife, Liu Manwan, was the youngest daughter of the Minister of Rites. Because she wanted to advance in her official career, she rushed to send her daughter to the Marquis Mansion in order to obtain better political resources.

The purpose of the third lady Jiang Yuwei is different.Everyone in the court didn't know that her brother was also a general with outstanding military exploits, but he had been outshone by the Marquis of Qingdu in recent years, so it was difficult to go further.Naturally, she came to the Marquis Mansion to cause havoc. She wanted to seize the opportunity to mess up the Marquis Mansion, and preferably seize the hereditary title and huge family property of the Marquis of Qingdu.

Xuanhe looked at her nose and heart with her eyes and answered respectfully:

"Really, nothing can be hidden from Madam's sharp eyes."

"That's all, let's go join in the fun." Xu Yaqin put on a snow fox fur cloak and hurried to the courtyard where the three-year-old young master lived.

Xu Yaqin had a lot of fun as soon as she arrived. The gorgeous second lady was begging Song Wentong, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion.

"Uncle Song, give me another chance. Let me get closer to the young master, and he will definitely accept me!"

"It's better not to trouble the Second Madam."

"Didn't you see that this young master started smashing things? Second madam, please come back."

"This... alas!" The second lady could only lament.

Next it was the third lady's turn to show off her power.

The third lady, Jiang Yuwei, is a mature and steady person. She is also relatively close to the young master on weekdays. She also carefully investigated the young master in advance and learned about the young master's temperament and hobbies. Therefore, she was not like the second lady who was bombarded as soon as she entered. come out.

Xu Yaqin stood at the door carelessly as if watching the excitement.

I saw the third lady carefully showing off her loving motherly appearance, with a smile on her lips and lowered eyebrows. She put her hand on the young master's soft head and whispered softly as if she understood his thoughts very well:
"Master, be good, master, as long as you are obedient, daddy will be back soon. Now drink the ginseng soup and warm yourself up and have a good sleep."

"I'll take you for a walk on the street tomorrow to relax, okay?"

The young master seemed to realize that this was just a way to coax him. He waved his hands angrily, broke free and opened the arm of Mrs. Sanfang holding him, and jumped up and down on the bed angrily, obviously venting his heart. dissatisfaction.

"Here, young master..." The third lady was unwilling to do so and wanted to continue.

Over there, the words of Uncle Song, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, came out.

"Alas! Third Madam, you'd better come out. It seems that the young master doesn't want to get close to you today, so let the eldest madam give it a try."

Immediately, everyone looked at Xu Yaqin.

Xu Yaqin immediately calmed down after watching the excitement.

The two ladies before had even cast contemptuous looks at her. They absolutely did not believe that this young lady could coax this eccentric young master.

In their opinion, Xu Yaqin is just a little girl, how can she coax children?

So they didn't go out, but waited silently, preparing to see how the lady in charge would make a fool of herself later.

Xu Yaqin is a woman who has read the original book. She naturally knows that the telepathy of this three-year-old young master is limited and can only sense people within three meters.

I think the two ladies who came before must have seen through this young master's thoughts, so they were not accepted.

Xu Yaqin already had a way to deal with it.
