The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

Sheng Lixuan was looking after Xiao Shengze and Mrs. Shen in the room.

Although he was worried about his little one's physical condition, Sheng Lixuan was not an unreasonable person.

Today, my wife, my concubine, whom I have never even laid eyes on, is so desperate today, regardless of the danger to her own life, and jumps into the middle of the lake to rescue Xiao Shengze.

This kind of behavior seemed to Sheng Lixuan, and he was slightly shocked.

Of course, Shen Rulan's personal maid was also waiting nearby, taking care of his wife.

Although both Xiao Shengze and Mrs. Shen had temporarily regained consciousness, they had just drowned and their bones were trembling with cold.

Curled up on the bed.

Sheng Lixuan couldn't care about anything else at this time and could only push away everything.

Take care of these two first.

The two clan elders looked on, and they couldn't help but look at the ordinary Mrs. Shen.

After Shen Rulan woke up on the bed.

Seeing that there were two imperial doctors taking care of little Shengze, Sheng Lixuan had some free time and looked at Mrs. Shen.

He came over and asked in a gentle tone:

"How are you, madam? Your body is fine, but is there anything you don't feel comfortable with?"

The maid on the side was hurriedly reaching out to help Shen Rulan sit up.

Seeing the rare concern of the Marquis for his wife, she took a few more glances, then she paused and said aloud:

"Hui Houyue's surname is Shen, and my wife's surname is Shen."

"Mrs. Shen..."

Sheng Lixuan's eyes were a little wandering. After thinking for a moment, he found some useful information and asked again:

"Shen...could he be the daughter of Mr. Shen's family?"

Sheng Lixuan still had some impressions of Minister Shen.

Many times at court meetings, there were times when hostile bureaucrats disagreed with me.

The Minister Shen always stood on his own side, thinking about issues from the perspective of national interests and making impassioned speeches.

Therefore, in Sheng Lixuan's opinion, the daughter of Shilang Shen's family should take more care of her.

In the past, it was just his first time back home, so he didn't care about these trivial things. Now that he thinks about it, he really didn't take good care of it.

Shen Rulan nodded, her face gradually turned ugly. After all, she had just drowned, and was still slightly pale. She stood up forcefully, as if she wanted to get out of bed.

Her personal maid showed an anxious expression again.

He quickly helped her steady and said:

"Madam, you are currently weak and have just suffered from the cold. If you don't lie down and have a good rest, why are you getting out of bed?"

Shen Rulan coughed twice and said in a low tone:

"Now in front of the Marquis, when the Marquis asks questions, I should bow and answer."

Seeing that this Shen Rulan is so polite, knows the rules, and knows the directions.

Sheng Lixuan was also slightly moved in his heart.

But in this situation, how could he let Mrs. Shen behave like this again?

Sheng Lixuan immediately helped her up and said softly:

"No need. Madam Shen just saved the young master from drowning. I haven't had time to repay this kindness."

"Now that things are unexpected, there is no need to perform this ceremony."

Shen Rulan then faked an ugly expression.

She thought for a moment and then said: "Since the Marquis said so, I am offended, so I will reply here."

Sheng Lixuan paused and confided, "Mrs. Shen doesn't have to be so polite, but it doesn't matter."

Shen Rulan's face showed an expression of pity. She said respectfully:

"Looking back, my father is indeed Minister Shen. I am really flattered that the Marquis is thinking about my little girl."

"Shilang Shen...is that the upright Shilang Shen?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Lixuan had not yet reacted, but the tone of an elder standing behind him became obviously excited.

His eyes lit up, he walked quickly to Shen Rulan and said:

"Speaking of which, I was involved in a case a few years ago and was suppressed a lot. It was Minister Shen who said a few words for me."

"With the above-mentioned memorial, we can overcome this difficulty."

"I have never repaid Shilang Shen well for this opportunity. I didn't expect that his daughter would be in my Qingdu Marquis' mansion!"

Shen Rulan was surprised and happy when she heard this.

Because she had never heard her father mention this old incident.

Yes, Shen Rulan thought about it carefully, just because of her father's temper. Naturally, he would not let this clan elder open the back door because of his own affairs.

Seeing that this elder also had a favorable impression of him, his favor suddenly increased a lot.

Shen Rulan suppressed her inner excitement and said calmly:

"My father has always been like this, elders don't need to worry about it."

The clan elder waved his hand, smiled and said:

"Hey, Mrs. Shen doesn't have to be so polite. Mr. Shen is upright, and Mrs. Shen is so brave."

"If you hadn't jumped into the lake in time to rescue this little Shengze this time... I'm afraid, I don't know what unexpected situation would have happened at this time."

Sheng Lixuan nodded, echoed the words of the clan elders, pursed his lips, raised his eyes, and said:

"Indeed, Mrs. Shen, for now you can rest in peace and recuperate. Now you are too thin to move around too much."

Shen Rulan, on the other hand, showed an image of being knowledgeable and sensible.

The expression on her face changed slightly, and then she said quietly:

"Master Marquis, the fact that this young master and I are safe and sound is entirely due to General Lu. If you want a reward, you should reward General Lu."

"At that time, I was anxious when I saw the young master falling into the water, so I jumped in. But after all, I am not good at water, so I didn't help much. Instead, I got myself in..."

"Not water-based?" Sheng Lixuan was stunned again when he heard this.

He thought that Mrs. Shen, who risked her own life to save Xiao Shengze, should know something about water.

Looking at it now, it turns out that Mrs. Shen doesn't understand the nature of water, so she dares to jump into the lake to save the young master.

It can be seen that in her heart, she attaches great importance to the young master.

Hearing this, Sheng Lixuan couldn't hold it any longer.

Shen Rulan's personal maid nodded at the right time and added:

"Yes, Mr. Marquis, you don't know. I was frightened by the scene at that time, but Madam didn't listen to anything she said and went straight to save the young master."

"By the time I came to my senses, my wife had already jumped into the water with a splash, and I could only move around anxiously on the shore, not knowing what to do."

"Mrs. Shen, you..."

After hearing the whole story, Sheng Lixuan gradually became more fond of Mrs. Shen.

Several people are chatting here.

Seeing that her goal was achieved, Shen Rulan now performed such a painful trick to save Xiao Shengze.

Now the Marquis and the people in the Marquis' mansion think highly of themselves.

I am preparing to get acquainted with Mr. Hou again.

At this time, Sheng Yue had already led Xu Yaqin and Mrs. Zhu into the room.
