The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

Chapter 50 Entering the Ancestral Hall
To be honest, Lanhua is very tired from taking care of the young master these days. She has to stay in the ancestral hall and cannot rest when the young master is in the ancestral hall. She also has to comfort the young master and take care of the young master's diet. She also wants to rest...

But this maid of the Qingdu Marquis Mansion could never break the rules.

Facing Xu Yaqin's eager and expectant eyes, Xiao Lanhua shook her head repeatedly and said:

"Mrs. Xu, it's not like you don't know the rules of the Marquis Mansion. According to the regulations, you are not qualified to enter the ancestral hall. If you are discovered by the Marquis and the elders of the clan, you will be dealt with according to the family law."

"The light punishment is thirty sticks, and the severe punishment is to be directly expelled from the Marquis' Mansion."

"I know, Mrs. Xu, you love the young master very much, but you won't go to this extent..."

Xu Yaqin shook her head and replied firmly:
"No, I have to go in and see what kind of temper the little kid has."

"Now the relationship between him and the Marquis has dropped to a freezing point. Maybe I can help them reconcile by talking about it."

"Lanhua, if you are doing it for the good of the Marquis and the young master, then you should let me in. If something happens then, if you pass the responsibility to me, just say that I forced my way in. It's okay if you can't stop me. Absolutely not It’s dragging you down.”

"This...Mrs. Xu, you don't have to do this." Lanhua was still hesitating, obviously not wanting Xu Yaqin to lie in this muddy water.

Xu Yaqin has made up her mind and no one can change it.

She reached out directly, grabbed the food box from Lanhua's hand, and said, "You don't need to say anything, my mind will not change."

"Okay... Madam, since you insist on this. Then I can't refute Madam's kindness. The young master is inside, so go quickly."

Lanhua was finally moved by Xu Yaqin's true feelings.

Although as a maid in the Hou Mansion, she was originally hostile to these women who came to celebrate the occasion, but during this period of time, she observed every word and deed of Xu Yaqin and the young master together, and the intimate time gradually made her dispel her feelings. Concerns about Xu Yaqin.

She thinks that Xu Yaqin is different from other women in that she really cares about the young master. With her here, maybe the gap between the young master and the Marquis can really be melted.

It’s just a bit painful for Mrs. Xu...

Lanhua thought quietly, looking at Xu Yaqin with more recognition in her eyes.

At this time, Xuanhe, the personal maid who had been following Xu Yaqin, was unhappy and jumped out to stop her:
"Madam, please think about it..."

Xu Yaqin's attitude was different from her previous submissive attitude, but she directly said: "I know!"

Xuan He was a little confused when she saw Xu Yaqin's uncharacteristic attitude, but she was still very anxious and said:

"Madam, you have also heard that breaking into the ancestral hall without permission will be punished by family law!"

Xu Yaqin said calmly: "I know too."

"Can you withstand the [-]-pound force? Not to mention us women, even strong men can't bear the [-]-pound force." Xuanhe felt that these things would definitely put her down.

But Xu Yaqin's face remained calm, not moved at all, and her eyes were full of sincerity, without a trace of impurity.

Perhaps Xu Yaqin was annoyed, so her tone became more intense.

"I know it all! That's enough, Xuan He, please stop talking."

"This is my business alone. You can just wait outside the door. When the time comes, whether it is the Xu family or the Hou family, I will bear all the culpability alone."

"You..." Xuan He finally wanted to say something to persuade her, but she really couldn't think of any good reason. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Xu Yaqin in front of her, Xuan He was a little stunned for a moment.

Why is this person... different from before... Is she crazy? She even ignored such a severe punishment for this little brat?Regardless of the consequences!
What are the benefits of doing this and is it worth it?
Xuanhe still didn't give up and finally asked:
"Madam, let me say one last thing, have you thought about it, is it worth it?"

Xu Yaqin turned around, looked at her with a firm tone and a calm expression, and said:
"I always do things with a clear conscience. I never ask whether it's worth it, only whether it's appropriate."

Xuanhe's pupils dilated and she was stunned for a while, unable to recover for a long time.

Xu Yaqin walked straight into the ancestral hall, only to hear the door open and close again with a bang.

In the ancestral hall, Xu Yaqin saw the young master kneeling listlessly on the futon. His small figure was not much bigger than the futon...

When he heard someone coming in, the young master thought it was his personal maid Xiao Lanhua coming to deliver food, so he didn't even look back and said:
"If you don't want to eat, I won't eat. Take it, take it, take it all!"

"Why, the young master is still angry with Mr. Hou? Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't eat such delicious food?"

Xu Yaqin's tone was gentle. Seeing the pitiful look of this little kid, she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart, and she wanted to love this child more and more.

As soon as he heard that it was Xu Yaqin and not Lanhua, the young master's face suddenly regained some vitality, but when he was angry, he looked arrogant, turned his head and looked at Xu Yaqin and said:
“If you don’t eat, don’t eat, you just don’t eat.”

Xu Yaqin wasn't angry either. She knew that the young master was angry and couldn't confront him.

She didn't say much to advise, but sat in front of the futon next to the young master again, and was with him in the ancestral hall.

The young master was confused by what she did and asked:

"You, what are you doing? Yaya, let's go."

Xu Yaqin shook her head, smiled and said:
"How can I leave? Master, isn't it all the reason for the anger between you and your father because of me? Now you are being punished in this ancestral hall. I am the most loyal person, how could I let you be alone? What about here?"

The young master was slightly moved in his heart, but he turned around and thought about it, and said to Xu Yaqin:
"No, you lied...you lied."

Although he was young, he had been taught the rules of the Hou family since he was a child. He shouted to Xu Yaqin:
"You can't enter the ancestral hall. You lie to others. You lie to others."

Xu Yaqin was slightly surprised that this little kid actually knew these things. She thought that the little kid only played and ate.

It seems that she still doesn't know enough about this guy.

Xu Yaqin smiled, touched his head and said:

"Yeah, but I still came in."

The young master was stunned and said:
"Daddy, I will punish you, I will punish you."

"How can you punish me?" Xu Yaqin didn't care at all and continued: "I'm here to bring you food. If you don't eat and you're hungry, it's not fun to be hungry."

Upon hearing that Xu Yaqin came to let him eat, the young master immediately regained his angry expression and said angrily:
"If you don't want to eat, I won't eat."

Xu Yaqin smiled and said nothing, knowing that this boy was angry with Mr. Hou. The more he was asked to eat, the more he would not eat. If pressed, it would have the opposite effect.

Xu Yaqin turned around and stopped talking to him.

She looked up and was facing a portrait. The woman in the painting was gentle and beautiful. At first glance, she looked like a serious lady.
