The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

Chapter 58 Letting go of the cub
Outside the courtyard where Sheng Lixuan lives.

Two clan elders, Song Wentong and Sheng Yue, were waiting outside the door.

Suddenly I heard movement inside, the door was opened, and Xu Yaqin walked out alone.

Everyone's eyes turned to her.

Sheng Yue looked even more anxious and asked aloud:

"Mrs. Xu, what did you tell eldest brother? How is little Shengze?"

Xu Yaqin's face was expressionless and she didn't answer.

Behind her, Sheng Lixuan walked out of the room.

He was as calm as water, glanced sideways at everyone, and said slowly:

"Release the young master from the ancestral hall and bring him to see me."

"Okay! Brother, he is a child after all. Even if he makes a mistake, it is not a problem to stay in the ancestral hall for so many days. I will go now, I will go now!"

I heard the elder brother finally let go.

Without saying a word, Sheng Yue immediately happily went to the ancestral hall to pick up Xiao Shengze.

In front of the two clan elders and Butler Song, Sheng Lixuan looked at Xu Yaqin and issued an order:
"Okay, both clan elders are here. I, I, have something to say."

Xu Yaqin was about to leave, but was stopped by Sheng Lixuan.

"Mrs. Xu, you also stay."

Xu Yaqin slowly turned her head to look at him and asked with some confusion:

"Master Marquis, please discuss important matters with the elders. Is it not good for me as a concubine to stay here?"

Sheng Lixuan shook his head and said:
"No, what I'm talking about is related to you."

"Is it related to me?" Xu Yaqin frowned.

The two clan elders glanced at each other and slowly glanced at Song Wentong, with vague suspicions in their hearts.

Sheng Lixuan lit up his voice and said loudly:

"I have decided that from today on, Mrs. Xu will be fully responsible for all matters related to Xiao Shengze."

"The two clan elders don't need to continue to criticize Mrs. Xu and Butler Song for this matter. In this prince's mansion, you have to cooperate with Mrs. Xu and take care of the young master's daily life. Do you understand?"

When the two clan elders heard the news, they felt like a thunderbolt hitting their heads, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Sure enough, what they feared most came to pass.

Xu Yaqin finally showed her face in front of the Marquis.

Letting her take charge of all matters related to the young master, doesn't this mean that she has greater power in the Hou family?
This made the two clan elders, who had always regarded Xu Yaqin as a thorn in their side, itch with hatred, but they had no choice but to find a way to attack.

Song Wentong was very unhappy in his heart, but this guy was very good at hiding his appearance and remained as calm as water. He replied respectfully:
"Yes, Lord Hou."

"In the future, I will definitely help Mrs. Xu and take care of the young master's daily life. The Marquis will not have to worry about him in the future. Recovery is the most important thing."

Sheng Lixuan looked at Xu Yaqin and nodded slightly.

When he first returned to the Hou Mansion, the situation was still unclear, but after these successive events, he saw a lot more clearly.

The two clan elders were obviously dissatisfied with Xu Yaqin.

I wish I could expel Xu Yaqin from the Hou Mansion immediately.

At first, Sheng Lixuan was not at ease with Xu Yaqin, but after these days of observation, he gradually relaxed his guard against Xu Yaqin.

Although as a woman who was sent in for a wedding, Xu Yaqin's trust in Sheng Lizuan's mind... has always been basically nonexistent.

But through my observations these days.

Sheng Lixuan found that she had always cared for the little boy, cared about him in her heart, and showed her true feelings. It didn't look like she was acting.He gradually recognized Xu Yaqin.

He has just recovered from a serious illness and has made many enemies in both the government and the public. He still needs to focus on big things and not let these trivial household matters disturb his mind.

I made this announcement in front of everyone today to stop everyone's mouths and prevent anyone from making a fuss about this matter in the future.

Hearing the news, Xu Yaqin was stunned for a moment and blinked:
Um?Does Sheng Lixuan mean to approve of her?

No, judging from his frosty expression, it seems unlikely...

Or maybe it's just that he simply doesn't want to be annoyed by that little brat, Xiao Shengze.

No matter what the reason was, Xu Yaqin thought it would be much more convenient to act in the Hou Mansion in the future.

After Sheng Lixuan said this, he turned to Xu Yaqin and asked:
"I wonder if Mrs. Xu is satisfied with my arrangement?"

Xu Yaqin came back to her senses, smiled at him, and said:

"Since the Marquis said so, I will take over this burden. Don't worry, Marquis, I will definitely take good care of the young master. You don't have to worry about him."

"So much the better."

Sheng Lixuan turned around, glanced at her sideways, and said coldly:
"However, I leave the young master to you and you have to take responsibility. If something goes wrong with him, I have to test it with you. Do you understand?"

"I know." Xu Yaqin replied with a smile.

She couldn't be more excited at the thought of seeing that lively little cub again.

Sheng Yue took little Shengze out of the ancestral hall.

Although when Sheng Yue went to the ancestral hall to pick up someone, the little kid kept yelling and refused to come out. He wanted to stay with his mother all the time and stayed in the ancestral hall refusing to leave.

But he was just a little kid after all, so how could he defeat the taller uncle?

This little guy had a very bad temper and had to cry and shout for Sheng Lixuan to come and take him out in person.

In the end, Sheng Yue had no choice but to pick up Xiao Shengze and drag him out.

In the hall, Sheng Yue put the little kid down.

Then he looked up at Sheng Lixuan, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a heavy face:
"Brother, you have to take the time to talk about this little guy."

"This little kid was thrashing about happily all the way, and it was not easy for him to torment me."

"I used hard and soft tactics to get him out of the ancestral hall."

Sheng Lixuan looked up at him with gentle eyes and said:

"Thank you for your hard work. Go down and rest first. I have something to say to Xiao Shengze alone."

Sheng Yue knew that Xu Yaqin must have said something to Sheng Lixuan before, which solved the knot between father and son, and then he forgave the brat and let him go.

But Xiao Shengze was still angry, so it would be a good thing for the Hou family to let the father and son talk and talk to each other alone.

"Bad dad, bad dad."

"Go to the ancestral hall, stay with your mother, stay with your mother!"

The little boy was still sulking, muttering angrily, crossing his hands and looking at Sheng Lixuan with his eyes raised, and kept muttering in his mouth.

"Alas..." Sheng Lixuan looked at the little cub who was still having a tantrum, shook his head with some emotion, then looked up at him and said softly:
"Aze, come here."

The little boy tilted his head further away, still arrogant, and ignored his father.

After Xu Yaqin's guidance, Sheng Lixuan had already thought about it and calmed down.

He knew that this little kid just had a stubborn temper. As long as he lowered his head and admitted his mistake, things would go away.

There was no way, who could have misunderstood his son.
