The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

Chapter 55 The proud father and son

The conversation between Sheng Lixuan and his son broke up unhappily again.

Shengze continued to be pitifully imprisoned in the ancestral hall, and the gap between father and son was still not resolved.

Xu Yaqin had already heard about this from elsewhere in the Hou Mansion.

After Sheng Lixuan's interference yesterday, the two clan elders' plan to punish Xu Yaqin by forcing her way into the ancestral hall and reward her with thirty pieces of banquet and expel her from the mansion has come to nothing.

It was so quiet all night in the Qingdu Hou Mansion.

The next morning, the aftermath of this incident gradually calmed down.

Xu Yaqin's current focus is to find a way to resolve the knot between Sheng Lixuan and the young master.

There is no way for the two of them to keep arguing like this. After all, the young master is only three years old. With such a small body, he has to kneel in the ancestral hall all day long. What is the problem?
Xu Yaqin had already flirted with the young master in the ancestral hall before, but judging from the boy's response.

Xu Yaqin felt that if she wanted to solve this matter, it would not work with the young master. She had to work mainly on Sheng Lixuan.

In her opinion, this matter was originally caused by Sheng Lixuan, the Marquis, who misunderstood the young master's meaning, as long as she could explain it clearly.

When the knot between father and son is resolved, they will naturally get back together.

Out of this idea, Xu Yaqin got up early the next morning at dawn, preparing to meet Sheng Lixuan in person and explain the matter properly.

Now, Xu Yaqin is sitting in front of the dressing table dressing up.

After all, she is now also the concubine of the Qingdu Marquis Mansion, the dignified Mrs. Xu.

When you go to see the Marquis, you must dress up carefully, otherwise others will look at you and think you are neglecting the Marquis, which will inevitably lead to others taking advantage of you.

After traveling to Qingdu Houfu for so many days, Xu Yaqin found that the decorations and clothes of the ancients were quite good.

Although there are not as many modern styles, this ancient costume combined with her face shape makes her feel that she is very suitable.

Xu Yaqin was chosen among so many women in the Xu family and sent to the Qingdu Marquis' Mansion to celebrate her beauty. Her appearance was extraordinary.

If she is dressed up so carefully, she is really a beautiful woman in ancient costume.

Xu Yaqin is very satisfied with her current appearance.

After she finished doing this, she was just about to leave and knock on Sheng Lixuan's door.

The personal maid Xuanhe on the side stopped her again and said:
"Madam, what are you doing now?"

"This is a troubled time in the Hou Mansion. The two elders and Butler Song are obviously targeting you, Madam. We should keep a low profile at this time and not cause any trouble. Where are you going this early in the morning?"

Xu Yaqin didn't hide anything and said to her directly:

"I went to see the Marquis. He and the young master have been sulking at each other. There is no solution. Someone must be able to enlighten them."

"No, no, ma'am, you can't go."

Xuan He's attitude was tough. She would never let Xu Yaqin take such a risk again. She almost lost her life when she forced herself into the ancestral hall and was almost beaten to death.

Even if it's not to complete Xu Mansion's mission.

She couldn't watch Xu Yaqin rush over so stupidly. If they didn't have a good chat with Qingdu Hou Sheng Lixuan and bumped into the prince, then they would not be able to stay in the prince's mansion at all.

Xu Yaqin was not the one to be threatened and said directly to her:

"Xuan He, get out of the way. Only I can do this. Otherwise, if the young master and the marquis keep fighting like this, the final result will not be beneficial to anyone."

Xuanhe lowered his head and thought seriously for a while, feeling that what Xu Yaqin said made sense.But she was still hesitant. After all, it was too dangerous for Xu Yaqin to come forward now. "But Madam, with so many people in the Hou Mansion, there will definitely be someone who will come forward to explain this matter. Your current status in the Hou Mansion is very dangerous. I think we should just continue to live our own lives."

Seeing that Xuan He didn't listen to her, Ye Qingzhu stopped talking in a nice tone, even though she and Xuan He were both women who entered the Qingdu Marquis' Mansion from the Xu Mansion.

But even if Xu Yaqin is a concubine, her status is still much higher than that of Xuan He.

She directly adopted Madam's style and said seriously to Xuan He:
"That's enough, Xuanhe, don't say any more."

"It was true that I was reckless last time, but this time I am sure that I can convince the Marquis and the young master to open up, so don't stop me."

"To put it bluntly, if we want to survive in this Marquis Mansion, we must leave a good impression on the Marquis and the young master, and the key point is the young master."

"If he hadn't shown up in the ancestral hall, you and I would have been attacked by two clan elders and Butler Song, as well as various women and wives from other families. What kind of overt and covert attacks were there?"

"If you don't even have a backer, how can you live peacefully in the future?"

Xuanhe didn't say anything after hearing this.

Indeed, Xu Yaqin's words are indeed true. The two of them are now fighting alone in Xu Mansion.

If there is anyone who can be won over, it can only be the young master and Qingduhou.

Therefore, we must do our best to serve these two masters well, so that they can survive in the Qingdu Marquis Mansion for a long time and complete the tasks assigned to them by the Xu Mansion.

After Xu Yaqin said that, she went directly to find Sheng Lixuan without talking nonsense to Xuan He.

As the Marquis of the Qingdu Marquis Mansion, Sheng Lixuan naturally had his own separate courtyard to live in.

Because of his health, there are now two imperial doctors, Sheng Yue and the clan elders, as well as Butler Song.

They all gathered around Sheng Lixuan's courtyard to see how the marquis was injured and to take care of his daily life.

Sheng Lixuan had just gotten up at this time and had just had breakfast.

I was about to take stock of the recent situation in the Hou Mansion with the two clan elders and Butler Song, so that I could have an understanding.

At this time, a servant came in to talk.

"Master Marquis, Mrs. Xu is here."

Sheng Lixuan hasn't spoken yet.

When the two clan elders heard that Xu Yaqin was coming, they immediately felt angry and said directly:

"Humph, what is she doing here? She can just stay in Cuilanxuan as a concubine. Why come to see the Marquis? I wonder if the Marquis is inconvenient now and it is inconvenient to see guests?"

"Let her go back and stay well."

"Isn't this obviously causing trouble for the Marquis?"

After successive observations, Sheng Yue's favorable impression of Xu Yaqin gradually increased. He could also see that the two clan elders were still complaining about Xu Yaqin's previous report on steward Song's corruption and bribery.

This is an opportunity to knock Xu Yaqin.

Sheng Yue saw things clearly and could not let this old man's conspiracy succeed.

He directly interceded for Xu Yaqin and said to Sheng Lixuan:

"Brother, since Mrs. Xu is here to see you, she must have something to do. Why don't we meet you? How can we just drive people away? If there is something important, wouldn't it be delayed?"
