The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

In the next period of time, life in the Qingdu Houfu finally got on the right track.

Although Shen Rulan has been favored even more heavily in this Hou's mansion since she took charge of the female family members.

But fortunately, she is a person who knows how to do things appropriately.

He didn't do anything extraordinary.

Her daily behavior is completely in line with the norms of a good wife and mother.

The purpose is to shape his image well in front of Sheng Lizuan.

Because of this, there were no other incidents in the Hou Mansion.

Shen Rulan was a bit bad, but under her leadership.

The concubines and ladies of the Qingdu Marquis Mansion are finally living a peaceful life.

Xu Yaqin usually spends her days relaxing with Mrs. Zhu.

Then I went to the young master and the martial arts training ground twice.

Although the life is dull, it is better than fulfilling.

On this day, the young master was about to come out of the martial arts training ground.

Xu Yaqin and her personal maid Xuanhe were waiting at the entrance of the martial arts training ground early.

Soon after, little Shengze was jumping up and down.

The whole person was very happy and walked out of the gate of the martial arts training ground.

Under the leadership of the personal maid Xiao Lanhua, he ran straight towards Xu Yaqin.

Xu Yaqin praised the little boy as usual.

Then his eyes raised.

I saw Zhao Wuyang and Lu Jingming coming out together.

Zhao Wuyang smiled at Xu Yaqin as soon as he saw her.

He quickly stepped forward, expressed his intention, and said:

"Mrs. Xu, those words could have been written. I have been listening to the young master tell some stories intermittently these past few days. I, Old Zhao, feel that they are very fresh."

Xu Yaqin knew that Zhao Wuyang was talking about Journey to the West.

She nodded and glanced at her personal maid Xuanhe.

Xuan He quickly took out a storybook from his sleeve.

First, he showed it to Zhao Wuyang for review and said:

"Master Zhao, my wife can always remember this."

"This was sorted out just now. Master Zhao, you are the first one to see it, so you should cherish it."

Zhao Wuyang did not put on airs and nodded slightly to Xuan He.

He patted his chest and promised:

"Don't worry, Mrs. Xu, don't worry."

"This is a favorite of mine, Lao Zhao. I will definitely treat it with care and return it to its original owner immediately after reading it."

Xu Yaqin didn't care about this matter.

Just a script.

But judging from Zhao Wuyang's reaction, he is indeed quite interested in this aspect.

Xu Yaqin smiled lightly and stopped asking.

I saw Zhao Wuyang holding his script.

Although Lu Jingming on the side looked unmoving.

But it has already caused a wave of fluctuation in my heart

He thought for a while, but the pestle didn't move.

Zhao Wuyang on the side came to his senses.

Realizing that something was wrong with General Lu's eyes, he rolled his eyes.

He immediately guessed what he was thinking.

He was also outspoken and continued to say to Xu Yaqin:

"Mrs. Xu, General Lu has been reading The Romance of the Three Kingdoms for a long time. I wonder if he has finished what he said?"

"of course."

Xu Yaqin just finished speaking.

The personal maid Xuanhe finally took out a storybook and handed it to Lu Jingming.

Lu Jingming's eyes lit up.

Although he was extremely excited in his heart, he remained calm on the outside.

Show a calm expression and only salute respectfully.

He said seriously to Xu Yaqin:

"Thank you, Mrs. Xu."

Xu Yaqin knew this guy's temperament and no longer argued with him.

Then he followed Xiao Shengze back to the room.

She was preparing dinner with the young master.

But at this time, Sheng Yue stood at the door.

He barged in at an inappropriate time. Xu Yaqin looked up.

Sheng Yue's face changed slightly.

Because as usual, unless something happens.

Otherwise, this second master Sheng would never come to the young master's room.

With this thought in mind, Xu Yaqin looked blank and asked directly:

"Second Master, are you here to see the young master or me?"

Sheng Yue's face looked a little uncertain.

He said slowly: "Of course I'm looking for you, Mrs. Xu."

"Mrs. Xu is telling you the truth. The Marquis invites you to go to the hall to discuss something important."

Hearing this, Xu Yaqin's expression changed again.

She raised her head and looked at her personal maid Xuanhe.

After thinking for a while, he turned to look at Xiao Lanhua, the personal maid who was taking care of the young master, and told her:

"Little Lanhua Xuanhe, you two stay here and take care of the young master first. I'll be back as soon as I can."

I heard that my father was going to find Xu Yaqin.

Although Xiao Shengze is young, he is also very well-behaved and sensible.

What's more, after spending these days together, he became familiar with Xiao Lanhua and Xuan He.

The two girls could barely control this little guy.

Xu Yaqin no longer worried about things here and exchanged a few hasty greetings.

Some notes were given.

Then he followed Sheng Yue to the hall of the Hou Mansion.

In the hall of the Hou Mansion, Sheng Lixuan looked a little melancholy.

I couldn't detect what he was thinking.

He just sat motionless in the main seat with a gloomy look on his face.

Let people know what is on their mind.

Sheng Yue followed Xu Yaqin and walked over, saluted his eldest brother and said:

"Brother, Mrs. Xu has already brought it."

Xu Yaqin looked at the scene in the hall.

Except Sheng Lixuan.

Even two clan elders have arrived.

The elders of the clan looked very serious.

It seems that something big happened in the Hou's mansion.

Otherwise, these two old guys would definitely not look like this.

However, major affairs in the Qingdu Marquis Mansion have always been handled by the Marquis and the clan elders.

I am just a concubine, why did you call me here?

Xu Yaqin was confused.

Sheng Lixuan slowly raised his eyes at this time, watching Xu Yaqin's brows change slightly.

He looked at Xu Yaqin coldly, then changed his tone and asked with concern:

"Mrs. Xu, how is everything going with the young master?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Marquis, I will take care of the young master and nothing will go wrong."

Xu Yaqin answered slowly.

She looked at Sheng Lixuan and asked this suddenly.

It's absolutely impossible that Xiao Shengze's incident caused such a commotion in the Hou Mansion.

There must be something else important.

Seeing that Sheng Lixuan refused to reveal it directly.

Xu Yaqin was quick to speak quickly, but she preemptively asked:

"Master Hou, what happened in the Hou's mansion?"

"Even the elders are here. If anything happens, Lord Marquis, it's okay. If I can help you, I will do my best to help."

Sheng Lixuan was silent after hearing this.

The two clan elders looked at each other.

Since their Marquis didn't want to say anything, they would just say this.

One of the clan elders sat up, looking a little anxious.

Looking at Xu Yaqin, she said in a deep voice:

"Mrs. Xu, this is actually what happened."

"Just an hour ago, the father-in-law from the palace suddenly came to the Marquis Mansion to deliver an edict. What we are having a headache right now is this edict."

Imperial decree? Xu Yaqin looked stunned.

In the eyes of this human being, the Marquis has done nothing wrong. Why is the palace issuing imperial edicts so smoothly?

She also found this strange, thinking in a low voice.
