The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

"After all, the ladies in the prince's mansion have never been close to me. Only Mrs. Xu is willing to play with me without disdain. I am already very satisfied."

"Mrs. Xu gave me something, and I really deserve it."

Xu Yaqin, however, has made a firm decision.

She said with firm eyes: "No, I'll give you something as a courtesy. That's settled."

"Alas, Mrs. Xu..."

Madam Zhu just wanted to say a few words, but seeing Xu Yaqin's attitude that could not be vetoed, she did not say anything after all, and just smiled lightly.

The two of them were talking and laughing there.

This time, Shen Rulan seized the opportunity.

She stood up slowly and walked to Xiao Shengze's side pretending to be nonchalant.

Xiao Shengze is currently alone in the back garden, admiring the colorful flowers.

This little guy seems to be particularly interested in flowers.

I was collecting them one by one in my hand, not knowing what to do.

Of course, during this process, Xiao Lanhua, the personal maid who has been taking care of the young master, has been following the young master, never leaving.

Shen Rulan walked over at this time.

Little Lanhua saluted respectfully and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shen."

Shen Rulan nodded towards her and said kindly:

"Little Lanhua, you have worked hard these days serving the young master."

"There are so many ladies here. Seeing that it is rare for everyone to gather together today, you can go to the kitchen and ask them to make a few and bring snacks over."

Xiao Lanhua frowned slightly after hearing this, and there seemed to be something unspeakable in her heart.

She hesitated for a moment and then said: "But Mrs. Shen, I still have to take care of the young master."

Shen Runanlan thought of the words.

At this time, she said smoothly:

"It's okay, I'll take care of you for a while."

"It just so happens that I've been in the Marquis' Mansion for so many days and I haven't gotten to know the little guy well yet. It's just a good time to get acquainted with him. You'd better go early."

Seeing Shen Rulan's innocent smile, Xiao Lanhua's mind sank, but she nodded and said:

"Well, I'll excuse you, Mrs. Shen. I'll come as soon as you go."

Until I saw the little orchid disappearing gradually.

Shen Rulan took a breath and calmed down.

Then he looked at the young master and asked in a gentle tone:

"Young Master, what are you looking for?"

Xiao Shengze raised his head and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, feeling that she did not mean any harm.

He thought for a while and then said in a sweet voice:

"Flowers, find flowers."

Shen Rulan squatted beside the young master, put a hand on her head, and asked with confusion:

"Looking for flowers, what are you doing, young master?"

Xiao Shengze seems to be in a very good mood now.

He can also speak calmly to other people in the Hou family.

He stretched out his plump finger, pointed at Xu Yaqin who was sitting in the pavilion, and said slowly:

"Give it to the green pig, give it to the green pig."

When the young master said this, Shen Rulan's face showed a hint of displeasure.

But this unpleasant feeling passed quickly.

Shen Rulan's face returned to a bright smile.

She stretched out her finger and pointed at a particularly bright flower further away.

He said to the young master thoughtfully: "Young master, look at the flower over there, which is more beautiful."

"If it's for Mrs. Xu, it should be collected in different colors. We'll go over there to pick it and give it to Mrs. Xu."

"She will be very happy, don't you think?"

As soon as Xiao Shengze saw the extraordinarily bright purple flower blooming near the lake, he became interested in it.

His eyes lit up, and before Shen Rulan could finish speaking, he ran over alone. At this time, a smile appeared at the corner of Shen Rulan's mouth.

Seeing this little guy finally taking the bait, he ran alone to an unnoticed corner of the lake.

Getting ready to pick that bright flower.

At this time, Shen Rulan had already quietly arrived behind Xiao Shengze.

While he wasn't paying attention.

The young master was uprooting the purple flowers and holding them in his hands.

I thought happily in my heart: "Huahua."

"Give it to the green pig, give it to the green pig."

At this time, Shen Rulan stood behind him, her face suddenly turned upside down.

She decisively reached out her hand at the right moment and pushed the young master out.

After all, little Shengze was still a child, and she pushed him like this.

While he was at the lake again, his center of gravity suddenly became unstable and he fell into the water with a splash.

Shen Rulan's expression suddenly changed, revealing a panicked and frightened expression.

She put one hand to her mouth and jumped on the spot. Then she pointed at the lake with a trembling hand and suddenly shouted:

"Someone, come quickly, I've fallen into the water, I've fallen into the water!"

"The young master fell into the water!"

"Ah, young master?!"

This movement quickly attracted the attention of the ladies in the back garden.

Xu Yaqin was sitting in the stone pavilion and heard the news clearly.

When she saw Xiao Shengze falling into the water, she suddenly looked panicked and got up.

Mrs. Zhu's expression also changed after hearing this.

Suddenly everyone started to gather towards the lakeside.

Seeing that everyone's attention had been focused, Shen Rulan sneered without hesitation.

She immediately jumped into the lake with a splash, shouting: "Young master, don't be afraid!"

Then everyone heard another splash, a sound of falling water that was louder than before.

Because all the ladies were closer, when they arrived, all of them looked surprised, hurriedly running around in circles, and kept saying:

"What should I do? Mrs. Shen also jumped, Mrs. Shen also jumped!"

At this time, Xu Yaqin and Mrs. Zhu had also rushed here in a panic.

They pushed everyone aside and stood at the front. Everyone just kept saying:

"Mrs. Xu, you fell into the water. The young master fell into the water! Mrs. Shen went to save him and jumped in!"

Several other ladies started talking and said anxiously:

"What should we do? Madam Shen doesn't know how to swim. Wouldn't she die in vain if she jumped like this?"

"Xiao Shengze..."

Xu Yaqin was thinking about the young master's safety at this time. She was about to run out to save people, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhu and Xuan He.

"What are you doing? Get out of the way! I'm going to save Xiao Shengze."

Xu Yaqin now hopes that nothing will happen to little Shengze.

Where can I take care of myself?

At this time, the personal maid Xuanhe stood in front of her and said:

"Ma'am, you're not good at water. Jumping down won't help."

But once the matter involves Xiao Shengze.

Xu Yaqin seemed a little confused.

Mrs. Zhu was still awake at this time and had already gone out to shout loudly, hoping to find some people to come over.

What a coincidence, Lu Jingming happened to be passing by the back garden right now.

Mrs. Zhu met Lu Jingming as soon as she came out.

Not caring about anything else, she hurriedly grabbed Lu Jingming's arm and said anxiously:

"General Lu, the young master has fallen into the water, go and have a look!"
