The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

Chapter 35 Secrets in the Assessment
This sudden excitement almost hit Zhao Wuyang's waist.

He frowned, turned his face and corrected: "No, the young master is not about rice, but about archery. It's time for us to do archery."

"It's still early, it's not time to eat yet."

If Zhao Wuyang dared to yell at him like this in normal times, the young master would have gone crazy long ago.But after some guidance from Xu Yaqin during breakfast, the young master calmed down a lot.

The little boy said "Oh" and nodded, then he reacted and repeated:
"Good archery, good archery."

Then, Zhao Wuyang started archery lessons.

This young master has been quite cooperative all morning and has not been naughty at all.

This made Lu Jingming, who was watching the fight on the sidelines, nodded and became more confident in his afternoon martial arts class.

But as for Xu Yaqin, she returned to Cuilanxuan. She had finally finished handling the matter, and now she was free. She had half a day to relax and unwind.

But before her butt was even hot, Xuan He came to report:
"Madam, the third lady is here again."

Xu Yaqin replied: "Let her come in."

Not long after, Jiang Yuwei and her personal maid came in. As soon as she saw Xu Yaqin, Jiang Yuwei's expression became nervous. She obviously had something on her mind.

Xu Yaqin noticed something was wrong with her at a glance and asked directly:

"What are you doing here? I don't think you look good, but what's on your mind?"

Jiang Yuwei hesitated and struggled in her heart for a long time. She felt that if she didn't tell this matter, she would have trouble sleeping, eating, and even sleeping. After making enough mental preparations, she exhaled and said slowly:

"There is something I think I need to tell you, madam."

Xu Yaqin regained her composure. Looking at Jiang Yuwei, it seemed that this matter was quite serious.

She adjusted her state and made sufficient mental preparation before asking:
"It's okay to say anything."

Jiang Yuwei said eloquently: "It's about the entrance examination, and there are some secret things in it. I always feel that something is wrong, and I want to ask the eldest lady to help me enlighten me."

Xu Yaqin was stunned. Aren't the entrance examinations over? What else can happen?
She instantly became energetic:
"No problem. If you have anything to say, just say it."

After receiving Xu Yaqin's approval, Jiang Yuwei felt a lot more at ease. She continued: "The thing is like this, Madam, someone heard the Second Master and Butler Song talking outside the room this morning."

Xu Yaqin was startled and suddenly interrupted and asked:

"Third Madam, how do you know so clearly about the Second Master and Butler Song?"

Jiang Yuwei smiled, said nothing, and did not answer directly.

Xu Yaqin immediately understood that it was obvious that the third lady had an internal liaison in the prince's mansion and was managing some relationships.

In fact, these are normal. None of the women sent to the Hou Mansion are cheap, and they have infiltrated some of their own people into the Hou Mansion.Even Ye Mansion is no exception. Xu Yaqin has long been used to this kind of thing.

"That's not important. What's important is what you heard." Jiang Yuwei quickly changed the subject.

Xu Yaqin simply let her temper pass, regardless of the matter, and continued to ask: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Yuwei's expression condensed, she leaned down and whispered in Xu Yaqin's ear:

"It's like this. It seems that the second master is talking to Butler Song about the entrance examination. It seems that the third level test questions are given to the second master by Butler Song."

"The second master was still happy at that time, but now the problem is not only unresolved, but also involved in the case of the imperial court official. The second master is in the room, giving Butler Song a good scolding." Xu Yaqin's expression changed and she asked further:

"Are you sure you heard correctly? Butler Song suggested this test question to the Second Master?"

Jiang Yuwei nodded very confidently and said:
"This matter is absolutely true. My source of information is absolutely reliable, otherwise I would not trouble you, Madam."

Xu Yaqin lowered his head and thought about it. It seems that Sheng Yue is not the guy who can come up with such difficult test questions. Someone should have suggested it in his ear, but Butler Song...

How could it be Butler Song?

Xu Yaqin clearly remembered that night when she talked with Butler Song about the content of the third level assessment. Butler Song made it clear that he didn't know. It seemed that the old guy was deliberately concealing it and refusing to reveal the truth to guard against herself.

As expected of the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, he seems to be very wary of the eldest lady like her...

She didn't take it to heart, after all, the tips she gave Song Wentong were useless.

But Xu Yaqin's brows immediately frowned. She looked at Jiang Yuwei, wondering why she suddenly mentioned this.

Jiang Yuwei looked at Xu Yaqin's confused look and then said:

"Madam, you don't know something. The first time I saw Butler Song when I entered the mansion, I felt that he looked familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere. I thought about it carefully in the past few days, and then I was sure that I had indeed seen him before. .”

"So what?" Xu Yaqin didn't understand that it was normal for the dignitaries in Yandu City to have family contacts, but Jiang Yuwei's expression was really wrong, as if she had some secret?
For a moment, Xu Yaqin smelled a smell of gossip.

Jiang Yuwei nodded and said:

"That's it. I bumped into Butler Song before. He secretly sold the valuables of the Marquis Mansion. I saw him in the shop under my house."

"so……"

"So you suspect that this matter has something to do with Butler Song?"

Xu Yaqin spoke her mind for her.

Jiang Yuwei's face was uncertain, hesitant, and said:

"I don't know, but it's impossible for Butler Song to ask this kind of test question for no reason. I'm thinking of the bandits we met. If it weren't for Xuan He's skills, I'm afraid we would all have died, and we would have been together on the road to hell. .”

Xu Yaqin thought about it calmly. Suddenly, she thought for a moment, suddenly raised her head, and a terrible idea suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Could it be that Butler Song started this incident and wanted to use the assessment as a pretext to kill people with a knife and get rid of you, the third lady?"

"Ah, how is it impossible?" Jiang Yuwei explained innocently: "Butler Song and I don't know each other, and we don't have much contact on weekdays. Just because of this incident, he wants to kill me and then hurry up. Madam, you can't help it. It’s too intense.”

Xu Yaqin said seriously:
"You must be on guard against others. Otherwise, don't you think the test questions set by Butler Song are too difficult?"

"If that's the case, what should we do?"

Jiang Yuwei suddenly panicked and couldn't think of any solution in her hurry.

Xu Yaqin's mind sank, but there was another thing on her mind.

It would be okay if Butler Song just wanted to get rid of Jiang Yuwei, but she was afraid that Butler Song wanted to get rid of her as well, otherwise there was no need for him to deliberately conceal the third level of the assessment.

The more she thought about it, the more Xu Yaqin concluded that this was definitely a conspiracy that was premeditated and prepared in advance.
