The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

Chapter 52 The consequences of breaking into the ancestral hall privately

Although he only met Xu Yaqin briefly, Sheng Lixuan somehow had an inexplicable trust in this woman, and she would definitely not hurt Sheng Ze.

He couldn't control where Xu Yaqin went. What he was thinking about most was whether something happened to Shengze?

Thinking of this, Sheng Lixuan frowned, showing an angry mood. He exuded the majesty of a general and made everyone fearful and silent.

Sheng Lixuan stretched out his hand, and with a bang, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open again.

"Aze!" He shouted, fearing that something might happen to his son, but the scene in the ancestral hall surprised everyone standing at the door.

Sheng Lixuan looked up and saw his son kneeling on the futon, eating rice with big mouthfuls, with two grains of rice still left in the corner of his mouth.

And Xu Yaqin was right next to Xiao Zaizi, and the two of them were talking and laughing, which was very comfortable.

"Ok?"

This scene made the two clan elders and Song Wentong puzzled. They thought that Xu Yaqin must have some other plans when she came to this ancestral hall to find the young master. How could it be just a simple...

To feed the young master?

When Sheng Yue saw this scene, he showed a surprised expression.

He knew that Xu Yaqin would not harm the young master. He must be worried about the young master's health before he came to advise her.

When he saw this scene, he was afraid that his elder brother would misunderstand Xu Yaqin, so he quickly said to Sheng Lizuan:
"Brother, look, I know that Mrs. Xu will not do anything to the young master. She is just worried about the young master's health."

Sheng Lixuan did not answer him, but there was a faint twitching between his eyebrows, and his eyes turned gently, looking at the happy little Shengze in front of him and Xu Yaqin next to him.

"Mrs. Xu, what are you doing here?" Sheng Lixuan was stunned for a moment, frowned, and asked Xu Yaqin, ignoring Xiao Shengze who was eating next to him.
"Hou...Master Hou, why are you here?"

Obviously, Xu Yaqin was slightly surprised by Sheng Lixuan's sudden arrival, but her face was calm, as if she had expected this situation.

Xu Yaqin seemed particularly calm when asked by Sheng Lixuan.

She said softly: "I heard that the young master didn't eat, so I came to see him. The young master is just growing up. What can he do if he is starving?"

Xu Yaqin's answer made Sheng Lixuan's expression change slightly. Although he didn't look at Xu Yaqin as if he was lying, he didn't believe it. This woman broke into the ancestral hall just for such a thing. Could it be that the young master in her heart Is portion size so important?

Sheng Lixuan pondered, he always had doubts about this.

Is the woman in front of me pretending to be too perfect, or is she really thinking about it? It's just that simple.

Sheng Lixuan was never sure about this.

The kid on the side pulled Xu Yaqin's sleeves and said to her in a sweet voice:

"Duck, eat... eat..."

The young master pointed to his mouth, indicating that Xu Yaqin should continue to eat with him.

However, seeing that Xu Yaqin had no intention of paying attention, the little boy turned his attention to the door. When he saw his father suddenly standing there, his face suddenly became angry.

He hid behind Xu Yaqin with some fear, looked at Sheng Lixuan in horror, and said, "Bad daddy, bad daddy, go away, go away."

"Nonsense, Aze, what are you talking about?"

Seeing that the estrangement between father and son was getting worse, Sheng Yue quickly spoke up and stopped the young master.

Xiao Zai was still reluctant and kept pointing at Sheng Lixuan:
"Bad dad,, bad dad."

Sheng Lixuan knew that he was just angry for a moment, and he did speak a bit harshly to this little guy. It was reasonable that he now aroused the resentment of this little kid.

The two clan elders looked at each other.

They couldn't let this matter go away, so they exchanged opinions, smiled secretly, nodded, and said to Sheng Lizuan together:
"Master Marquis, no matter what, even if Mrs. Xu came to the ancestral hall because she was worried about the young master, you can tell us that we are not such unreasonable people and will definitely be tolerant."

"However, she actually broke into the ancestral hall without telling the rest of the family. This broke the rules of our family and should be dealt with according to family law."

Another clan elder nodded and said:

"Yes, you must be punished for thirty years. Then you will be expelled from the Hou Mansion to set an example. It will also let the people in the Hou Mansion see what happens if you break the rules."

Song Wentong was keenly aware of the dissatisfaction on Sheng Lixuan's face. He knew that the Marquis obviously did not agree with what the two clan elders said.

Realizing this, Butler Song did not stand with the two elders. He showed a kind-hearted look and said to Sheng Lizuan:

"I think it's better not to delve too deeply into the matter of the Marquis. After all, Mrs. Xu is worried about the young master, which is understandable. If she is too harsh, I'm afraid others will think that we, the good people in the Marquis' family, are all bad." Being so unkind will also damage the reputation of the Marquis."

Hearing Song Wentong's speech, the two elders were stunned. No, isn't this kid on our side?Why are you turning your elbows outward and helping that little girl Xu Yaqin instead?
These words had a different meaning in Xu Yaqin's ears.

She had long seen through that Song Wentong was a complete hypocrite. To put it nicely, he wished he could be kicked out of the Hou Mansion as soon as possible.

"That's enough. I have my own judgment on this matter."

Naturally, the family law of the Hou Mansion cannot be abolished. Logically speaking, those who violate the family rules must be punished according to the family law.

Sheng Lixuan didn't finish his sentence. He turned to look at the two elders and asked:
"It's just that the two elders, according to the family law, can break into the ancestral hall and give them thirty sticks. There is no need to expel them from the Marquis Mansion. What do you think?"

The elders of the clan just wanted to make Xu Yaqin suffer a little, and they had other questions about whether to expel her from the Hou Mansion. They also knew that with this little thing, they could not bring down Xu Yaqin, a little girl.

What's more, thirty spanks are not easy to bear. If they spend some money to bribe the servants who make the boards, Xu Yaqin's life will be killed if these thirty spanks are taken.

Anyway, the result was the same. There was no need for them to confront Sheng Lixuan, so they relaxed and said with a smile:

"Since the Marquis has said so, it's not hard for the two of us to say anything. Thirty boards will be thirty boards. It will also help Mrs. Xu's memory."

The little boy seemed to understand what they meant, and he jumped out quickly, shook his head, and shouted:
"No, no, we can't beat ducks and ducks, we can't beat ducks and ducks."

"I don't agree, I don't agree, I don't agree!"
