The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

Chapter 59 The Man in Black

Sheng Lixuan stood up and walked over, looked at Xiao Shengze with a loving face, touched his head and said:
"Aze, don't be angry with dad, okay?"

"I know I misunderstood you before. You have not forgotten your biological mother, but missed her too much, so you said those words, right?"

This little kid was touched, and tears were already in his eyes. He pursed his lips and wiped his eyes with his hand.

Then he threw himself into Sheng Lixuan's arms aggrievedly, beat his body with his chubby little hands and said:

"Daddy is bad, daddy is bad."

"You have wronged Xiao Shengze, you have wronged Xiao Shengze."

Sheng Lixuan looked at you with rare kindness.

He held little Shengze in his arms and said:
"This is Daddy's fault. Will Daddy make it up to you? Remember to tell Daddy if you have anything to say in the future. Daddy will never be like this again. Can Xiao Shengze give Daddy a chance to change his ways?"

Xiao Shengze nodded, put his finger to his mouth, paused and said:
"Daddy, I'm hungry."

Well, it seems that this little kid didn't eat well in the ancestral hall, and he lost some weight due to hunger.

Sheng Lixuan immediately ordered his maid to cook a lot of food that little Shengze liked from the kitchen and served it all to him.Then the father and son spent a cozy night together.

The feud between father and son in the Hou family was finally resolved.

Back at Cuilanxuan, everyone in the Hou family had known about the Marquis's will for a long time. Now that Xu Yaqin had shown her face in front of the Marquis, her status was naturally different from that of other women.

Although she has not yet regained her status as mistress, being able to get Sheng Lixuan to speak and win his appreciation is already something that every woman in the family dreams of and dares not even think about.

Personal maid Xuanhe looked at Xu Yaqin and said excitedly:

"Ma'am, you are so awesome."

Xu Yaqin shook her head, refusing to listen to her flattery, and suddenly asked her seriously:
"Why did you come to me so late? What's the matter?"

"Is there any news about what we are asking about?"

Xuan He was slightly surprised and said:

"Madam, you are really good at predicting things. Yes, there are clues about that matter."

"Miss Jiang is waiting for Madam at the back door. There are some things she wants to tell you in person."

"Okay, let's go and have a look together."

Xu Yaqin's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the news about what she asked Jiang Yuwei to inquire about.

Not caring about anything else, she immediately took Xuanhe and quietly came to the back door of the Hou Mansion in the dead of night and opened the door a crack.

After letting Jiang Yuwei in, the two had a long chat in the back garden.

Speaking of Jiang Yuwei, ever since she was discovered by Sheng Yue in the Hou Mansion.

Not only Jiang's underlings were expelled from the Hou's Mansion and punished, Jiang Yuwei was also expelled from the Hou's Mansion and sent home.

This incident is not a bad thing for Jiang Yuwei.

She originally didn't want to be sent to the Marquis Mansion to be someone's concubine, but now that she was sent home for such a reason, she ended up feeling free and at ease.

What's more important is that if you stay in this prince's mansion, you will inevitably suffer revenge from Song Wentong. You will not be able to sleep well and eat uneasily.

After being sent home, Jiang Yuwei didn't have to worry about these things and could just let go and do what she wanted to do.

As for the matter that Xu Yaqin asked Jiang Yuwei to investigate.Of course, the purpose is to collect evidence of Song Wentong's corruption and bribery in the Hou Mansion, and his deception.

"Mrs. Xu, this way, this way."

Xu Yaqin and her personal maid Xuanhe came to the back garden. Before they had time to observe, they heard Jiang Yuwei's call from the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Xu Yaqin immediately walked over and was really shocked when she saw Jiang Yuwei's current outfit.

This Jiang Yuwei was wearing a black dress and black dress, with her face covered and a black hat. Next to her was Jiang Yuwei's personal maid, also dressed in black.

If Jiang Yuwei hadn't said hello, Xu Yaqin would have almost mistaken her for a thief who broke into the Hou Mansion without permission.

Xu Yaqin wondered:
"Miss Jiang? Why are you dressed like this?"

Xu Yaqin really couldn't connect the woman dressed as a thief in front of her with the dignified Jiang Yuwei. The two were totally incompatible.

Jiang Yuwei pulled off the black gauze on her face, revealing her true face, looked at Xu Yaqin, and said seriously:
"My attire is normal, but it's you, Mrs. Xu. We should be more cautious when we meet privately in this prince's mansion. Madam, if someone looks at you in this attire, wouldn't it mean that Song Wentong has been exposed to you again?" What’s the reason for those people to attack you?”

Xu Yaqin was speechless.

Compared with Jiang Yuwei's dress, Xu Yaqin's dress is considered normal.

Miss Jiang...if someone really caught her meeting in the Hou Mansion, this outfit would attract more attention, right?
Xu Yaqin complained silently in her heart, then smiled and explained to Jiang Yuwei:
"Miss Jiang, there is no need to be so nervous. We are just meeting normally. You look very eye-catching in this outfit. Others may misunderstand you if they find out."

Jiang Yuwei shook her head and said innocently:

"No, no, no, don't worry about this, Mrs. Xu."

"It's getting late now. My black clothes and skirt are the safest way to hide. I won't be discovered."

Hmm... Seeing Jiang Yuwei frowning and explaining seriously, Xu Yaqin couldn't bear to tell the truth and hurt her heart.

Who taught her to dress like this?
Highlighting a guilty conscience, right...

But these are not the point of the problem.

Compared with Jiang Yuwei's outfit, Xu Yaqin was more concerned about Jiang Yuwei's purpose of calling her here for a meeting.

Regardless of these trivial matters, Xu Yaqin suddenly looked serious, raised her eyes to Jiang Yuwei and asked:
"Miss Jiang, you came to me so late, but what's the emergency?"

Jiang Yuwei didn't answer, looked around, and then asked Xu Yaqin:

"Mrs. Xu, is it really safe here and won't be discovered suddenly?"

I can't tell that Miss Jiang has a very high safety awareness, but she looks silly and a little cute...

Xu Yaqin hasn't answered her yet.

The personal maid Xuanhe beside him said:
"Miss Jiang can rest assured about this. I have bribed the servants who will be keeping watch in the back garden tonight. No one will find us. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Xu Yaqin nodded and said:
"That's right, Miss Jiang. It's safe here. Don't worry. Tell me what you discovered?"

Jiang Yuwei felt a sense of security after receiving the affirmative answer.She calmed down, pursed her lips, suddenly her face darkened, and she said seriously:

"To be fair to Madam Xu, I have found the evidence that Song Wentong cheated and sold off the property of the Hou Mansion."

"Oh, is it true? Where is it?" Xu Yaqin's spirits suddenly lifted after hearing this exciting good news.

Jiang Yuwei glanced at the maid next to her and signaled the maid, who was also dressed in black, to take out a small and exquisite wooden box from her arms.
