The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

Chapter 56 Is there something on my face?
Seeing that Sheng Yue actually spoke up to defend Xu Yaqin, the two clan elders responded:

"As a woman, what important matter can he have? It's just a scheming act to show off his face in front of the Marquis and deepen his impression so that he can ascend to the position of the mistress and wife of our Marquis' mansion. What other important matter can there be?"

Sheng Yue couldn't bear it anymore and directly showed his cards and said:
"Two elders, I don't understand why you are targeting Mrs. Xu everywhere?"

"Targeting? What do you mean targeting? We are just discussing the matter! Second Master, don't throw dirty water!" An elder was a little anxious and said directly.

Another clan elder nodded and said aloud:
That is, we are only thinking about the health of the Marquis. Now the Marquis' recovery is the top priority. How can he have any free time to meet her?If the woman who was sent to the Marquis's house to celebrate the occasion was as thoughtful as she was and wanted to see the Marquis, would the Marquis see him or not? "

"You are using strong words to make excuses!" Sheng Yue was obviously angry.

Song Wentong could see clearly from the side that the two groups were obviously attacking each other, and he didn't want to take sides.

When he saw Sheng Lixuan watching coldly with no emotion on his face, he decided to play the role of a good guy and stood up to break up the fight and said:

"Let me tell you, everyone should stop making trouble and ask the Marquis for his opinion on this matter."

At this time, Sheng Yue and the two clan elders all looked at Sheng Lixuan.

That's right, they don't have the right to decide, it has to be decided by the Marquis.

Sheng Lixuan slowly took a sip of porridge and put down the jade bowl in his hand.

He was also quite curious that Xu Yaqin wanted to see him at this time.

But for this woman whom I have never met a few times.

But Sheng Lixuan was still unsure whether she meant to attract his attention or whether she was really as generous as she appeared.

In any case, Xu Yaqin's sudden visit had aroused Sheng Lixuan's interest.

He slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Since Mrs. Xu has something to do with me, let her come in."

"Although I have just recovered from my serious injury, my body is not that weak. If there is really something important, it would not be good if it was delayed."

Sheng Lixuan waved his hand and asked his servants to bring Xu Yaqin in.

He wanted to see what medicine Xu Yaqin was selling in the gourd when he came to visit him at this time.

"Master Hou..."

The two clan elders were about to say something louder, but when they saw the look in Sheng Lixuan's hand, they immediately shut up.

In their opinion, no matter what purpose Xu Yaqin had in visiting the Marquis at this time, she undoubtedly wanted to show her face in front of the Marquis of Qingdu.

Within a few days of entering the mansion, Xu Yaqin had already managed the young master obediently. If she could still win the favor from the Marquis, her position in the Marquis' mansion would be even more difficult to shake in the future.

When the time comes, Song Wentong's corruption and bribery will definitely be revealed, and the two elders of their clan will take advantage of Song Wentong.

If this matter is made public by then, both of them will be completely ruined.

But seeing Sheng Lixuan's resolute attitude, the two of them couldn't find any reason to refute, so they had no choice but to eat coptis.

Xu Yaqin was brought to Sheng Lixuan by her servants.

Among the people waiting, Sheng Lixuan was sitting on a chair.

He was neatly dressed, with black hair hanging on his shoulders, brows as bright as stars, cold eyes, and beautiful appearance.

His long and powerful arms were placed on the table, holding a jade bowl in his hand.

The first thing Xu Yaqin saw when she entered the door was Sheng Lizuan's profile.

The Marquis of Qingdu was not only a general who fought bravely against the enemy, but also had a handsome appearance. Seeing Sheng Lixuan's appearance, Xu Yaqin's mind not only had fragments from the original novel:
"I saw the eyes of the legendary Qingdu Marquis Sheng Lixuan slowly lowered."

"He was in a depressed mood and raised his glass to the night sky to get drunk." "Looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, revealing a beautiful arc."

"Snow-white skin matches a handsome face, and under the moonlight, a bright and lonely back is revealed."

"Sheng Lixuan was leaning sideways and sitting alone in the garden. The marquis obviously had something on his mind that he couldn't talk to anyone about."

Xu Yaqin felt inexplicably that the scene in front of her was similar to the description in the original novel.

Looking at it this way, Sheng Lixuan can really be regarded as an ideal and perfect male god.

It would be better if the head wasn't so round.

Xu Yaqin's thoughts were still here, and she didn't know that they had drifted to the sky.

Sheng Lixuan saw Xu Yaqin staring at him stupidly, not knowing what he was thinking, so he directly asked:
"Mrs. Xu, what do you want to see me for so early in the morning? Just tell me."

"Why are you staring at me like this? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Hearing Sheng Lixuan suddenly called her name to speak, Xu Yaqin was brought back from her sleepwalking mood. She quickly looked at Sheng Lixuan, waved her hand, and explained:

"No, no. Mr. Hou's face is very clean."

Sheng Lixuan was puzzled and continued to ask:
"Then why do you keep staring at me?"

When asked like this, Xu Yaqin couldn't explain why, her face turned red and she didn't know what to do.

With so many people, she couldn't say that she was temporarily attracted by the handsome appearance of the Marquis, right?
After all, she is a reserved little woman.

Xu Yaqin had no choice but to change the topic, deliberately changed the topic, and made it clear to Sheng Lizuan what her purpose was:
"Master Marquis, I am here to talk to you alone this time. To talk about the young master's issues."

When Xu Yaqin said she wanted to talk to herself alone, Sheng Lixuan's first reaction was to refuse.

Although he didn't have much dislike for Xu Yaqin, he felt that the relationship between the two was not that good.

Mainly, Sheng Lixuan felt that he had nothing to talk about with this wife whom he was not familiar with yet.

He was originally a cold master and rarely spoke in front of strangers.

But when Xu Yaqin said the second sentence, she said that she wanted to talk to herself about the young master.

Sheng Lixuan has obviously changed his mind. Any topic related to the little boy is a top priority for him.

Sheng Lixuan's heart ached when he thought that the little boy was still keeping vigil in the ancestral hall.

But he didn't want to give in on this matter either.

So the matter hangs there.

Sheng Lixuan is sulking here, and the young master is sulking in the ancestral hall, but the matter still has not been resolved.

The appearance of Xu Yaqin is obviously a turning point.

Sheng Lixuan confided softly:

"Okay, since Mrs. Xu wants to talk to me about the young master, I will talk to you alone."

The two clan elders jumped out immediately. They thought that Xu Yaqin was talking to Mr. Hou alone because he wanted to talk about Butler Song's corruption and bribery and found some key evidence.

He stood up immediately and stopped him:

"Master Marquis, the identity of this woman is not clear yet. Master Marquis, you have just recovered from a serious illness and are talking to her alone... If this woman has any disadvantage to you, what should you do?"
