The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

This news has now reached the ears of the two clan elders.

Zhu Huixin remained in the room as if nothing had happened and was kept in the dark.

But in the hall of Qingdu Houfu.

The two clan elders were so anxious that they came to Qingdu Marquis Sheng Lixuan to discuss the matter.

Sheng Lixuan was leaning on the window seat, playing a game of chess with Sheng Yue.

"Master Hou, Second Master!"

The two elders came over with serious expressions.

I saw the Marquis playing chess with the Second Master.

Sheng Yue did not take the lead in attacking, but respectfully greeted him.

Ever since I woke up in the morning, I was called over by my eldest brother to play chess.

Therefore, he is not aware of the rumors in the Marquis Mansion.

The same goes for Sheng Lixuan.

These days, things in the Hou Mansion are gradually getting on track.

His mood also improved a lot, and he felt relaxed and elegant.

On a whim, I wanted to find someone to play a game of chess with.

Now the chess game has entered a fierce stage.

Go to mid-game.

Once either side reveals its weakness, it will definitely lose.

Sheng Yue's expression changed, and he quickly stood up and looked at the two clan elders.

He nodded respectfully and asked:

"Two elders, what brought you here?"

Sheng Yue knew that these two clan elders were the masters who would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything.

Since I came to this hall to look for my eldest brother for no reason.

That definitely means something happened in the Hou Mansion.

Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't know where to hide and relax at this time.

Even Sheng Yue could think of this.

How could Sheng Lixuan, who was still sitting there observing the chess game, be unclear?

He slowly turned his eyes and looked at the two clan elders standing beside him, and asked calmly:

"You two, what happened? Is it possible to disturb your presence?"

The two clan elders looked at each other.

No more selling things off.

He revealed the matter directly and said:

"Master Marquis, do you know that Mrs. Shen was in the back garden last night, entertaining all the ladies?"

Sheng Lixuan has not yet had an attack.

Sheng Yue on the side became even more confused after hearing this.

He said bluntly:

"Two elders, what's all the fuss about?"

"Now that eldest brother has put Mrs. Shen in charge of the affairs of the female family members in the Hou Mansion, there is nothing wrong with her gathering all the ladies together for fun."

"The two elders won't even interfere in this matter, right?"

The two elders looked at Sheng Yue with a look of complete ignorance.

I couldn't help but become anxious.

The tone of his speech gradually became heavier.

Don't argue with him either.

Instead, he looked straight at Sheng Lixuan and continued:

"Master Marquis, this matter is of course very reasonable. But there are some rumors circulating in the Marquis Mansion and Yandu City."

"It is said that at last night's banquet, Mrs. Zhu got drunk and even lowered her status to dance with a famous male dancer in Yandu City!"

"It's bad for our Qingdu Marquis' Mansion and your reputation to be embellished by well-meaning people right now."

"I think this matter should be reported to the Marquis. Let the Marquis see how to handle it."

Hearing this, Sheng Lixuan's hand holding a white chess piece slowly stopped in mid-air.

His face changed slightly, and the white chess piece landed on the chess card.

Disrupted the original layout.

"Is this serious?" Sheng Lixuan's expression became tense.

Although he has no interest in these concubines and wives.

But if so, one or two of them did something so unruly.

That would damage the reputation of Qingdu Houfu.

He, the Marquis of Qingdu, has a disgraceful face when he talks about it.

This matter can be big or small, but it must be handled with care.

Sheng Lixuan suddenly lost interest in playing chess. He straightened up, walked slowly to the main seat in the hall and sat down.

His eyes were a little gloomy and he was silent for a while.

Sheng Lixuan did not express his attitude.

But Sheng Yue clenched his fists.

He hit the chessboard with an indignant look on his face.

The chess pieces jingled.

"Humph, Mrs. Zhu, which Mrs. Zhu?"

"Have my eldest brother ever treated them badly in this prince's mansion? He actually broke the rules and caused such a ridiculous thing with a male dancer!"

"This will let the ministers in the court and your majesty know what they think of our Qingdu Marquis Mansion?"

Seeing Sheng Yue reacting so fiercely.

The two clan elders behaved the same way as him.

But he still replied with some embarrassment to Sheng Lixuan and said:

"This... Lord Hou, we only heard about it from the servants in the Hou family. As for whether it is true or not, we don't know yet."

"But after asking about Mrs. Zhu, she should be Zhu Huixin."

"Zhu Huixin..." Sheng Yue murmured to himself.

Suddenly his eyes narrowed.

As if he thought of something, he blurted out:

"Oh, I remembered! This Mrs. Zhu must be the Mrs. Zhu who has a good relationship with Mrs. Xu."

"She came to visit the young master with Mrs. Xu last time, and that was the time she fell into the water."

"Is it her?" Sheng Lixuan murmured to himself.

Although he had never noticed this Madam Zhu in the Hou Mansion.

But last time I threw pot with this little guy at the banquet of Qingdu Marquis Mansion.

Sheng Lixuan still had some impressions of this paragraph.

But judging from my own observations, Mrs. Zhu behaves very maturely and steadily.

She doesn't look like the kind of woman who would do such debauched things.

But as the saying goes, if flies don't bite seamless eggs, there will be no storm without fire.

Rumors never arise without foundation.

Sheng Lixuan frowned, stood up and said:

"We have no basis for discussing this matter here."

"Just wait here. I'll go find Madam Zhu and ask. Then it will become clearer."

The two clan elders shook their heads, feeling that this approach was very inappropriate, and gave thoughtful suggestions:

"Master Marquis, this... if you ask Mrs. Zhu, she will definitely refuse to admit it even to death."

"If I want to see it, I have to invite the ladies attending the banquet, Mrs. Shen, and the male dancer to come and confront each other, so that the truth can be revealed."

This time, Sheng Yue also sided with the two clan elders.

He nodded, thought for a moment, and agreed:

"Yes, that's right."

"Brother, I think what the two elders said is true, and this is how it should be handled."

Sheng Lixuan shook his head directly.

He coldly rejected their idea.

"That's enough, no need to say more. I have made my mind up on this matter."

"Two elders, if there is nothing else, please go back and rest first."

"As for the truth of this matter? I will ask Sheng Yue to inform you two later, so there is no need to wait here for too long."

"But...Master Hou!"

The two clan elders were a little confused.

Such a disgraceful thing to the family

Why does my Lord Marquis look so indifferent?

But Sheng Lixuan didn't say much to them and just left.

Although the two clan elders have many things to puzzle over.

But the Marquis didn't care, so how could they interfere?

All I could do was lament.

Sheng Yue couldn't understand this either.

But he felt that since Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Xu were on good terms.

Mrs. Xu has always been smart.

Then Mrs. Xu should be asked to come forward in this matter.

Without saying a word, Sheng Yue turned around and went to Cuilan Xuanli.
