The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

Xu Yaqin's eyes immediately fell on these idle ladies of the Hou family.

I just took this opportunity to get closer and closer to them.

Otherwise, in this huge Marquis mansion, with no one to talk to except Xuan He, wouldn't my life be boring?

Shen Rulan was so happy and proud just now, covering her mouth and laughing.

But now that she saw Xu Yaqin coming, she was immediately frightened and her face turned pale, and she regained her composure.

Together with the other ladies, they respectfully walked up to Xu Yaqin, bowed and said kindly:

"Madam Xu."

These people are still a little afraid of Xu Yaqin.

Even the second lady Liu Manwan's profound background couldn't defeat her.

They knew they were no match for Mrs. Xu in front of them, so they all treated her respectfully.

Xu Yaqin stated her intention straightforwardly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am here this time because the young master intends to participate in the Hou Mansion's pot throwing competition. We are currently short of someone. I wonder which lady is willing to form a team with us?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the ladies changed slightly.

Although they want to get close to the young master, if they team up with Mrs. Xu, let alone being in the limelight in front of the Marquis.

I'm afraid that even if I get a good ranking, the credit will only be attributed to Mrs. Xu, and I won't get any benefit at all.

Moreover, they had no contact with Xu Yaqin on weekdays, so they couldn't figure out her temper.

I'm afraid that I won't be able to get along well with Mrs. Xu. If there is a small friction in daily life, and I am targeted by Mrs. Xu in this prince's mansion, then the days to come will not be peaceful.

But now that Mrs. Xu spoke in person, they couldn't refuse directly, so they all had to say against their will:

"Since Mrs. Xu shows her love, of course we are very grateful. It is really a blessing for us to be able to team up with Mrs. Xu."

Xu Yaqin greeted them gently.

Then he glanced at the young master aside and asked, "Shengze, let's go and see who you want to team up with."

Shengze pressed, nodded and ran over.

Carefully observing the ladies, I want to find a helper who suits my needs.

The ladies are also quite afraid of this little overlord in the prince's mansion.

After all, no one could stop this guy from losing his temper.

If being with this young master makes him unhappy and loses his temper, let alone attract the attention of the Marquis.

It's okay if the Marquis doesn't blame himself.

Everyone suddenly turned pale, and could not help but slowly stood back.

He was just afraid of being chosen by this young master.

Shen Rulan knew that Xu Yaqin was in great favor now.

But she was also afraid that she would become the unlucky one, so she still mustered up her courage and spoke up to help everyone:
"Mrs. Xu, now we have formed a team and are planning to participate in the pot throwing competition by ourselves. If one person is taken away, then we will lose one spot."

"Mrs. Xu, do you want to look elsewhere?"

When saying this, Shen Rulan also felt slightly guilty.

She was afraid that Mrs. Xu would have a sudden attack and embarrass herself.

But they obviously judge Xu Yaqin with a villain's heart, and think Xu Yaqin is terrible.

Xu Yaqin was slightly surprised to learn the news.

She really didn't expect that these concubines were also interested in the pot throwing competition. She really didn't take this into consideration.

"Have you already formed a team? Alas, young master, it seems we have to find help elsewhere."

Xu Yaqin sighed slightly. At this time, Shen Rulan's mind moved, and she suddenly showed a meaningful smile and shouted:
"But...Mrs. Xu. There is a lady who hasn't formed a team yet. You can ask her to be your helper."

"May I ask which lady it is?" Xu Yaqin's expression perked up.

Shen Rulan pointed at Zhu Huixin, who was almost unnoticed in the corner, and said attentively: "That's Mrs. Zhu."

All the ladies nearby knew Shen Rulan's intention, and they kept talking to the side to help:
"As for Mrs. Xu, let Mrs. Zhu go. Mrs. Zhu is free."

It seemed that no one was willing to do this job, so they had to give up this thankless position to Zhu Huixin.

Zhu Huixin was pushed out.

Look, everyone is saying this. In fact, she couldn't make up her mind about Mrs. Xu.

She was about to wave her hands in a hurry to politely refuse, but Xu Yaqin had already pulled the young master to look at her.

"I, I can't do it, Mrs. Xu."

"I don't know much about this pot throwing thing. If I join, I'm afraid I will only be held back by you and the young master, Madam."

Xu Yaqin didn't care at all. She walked over very familiarly, patted her shoulder, looked at Shengze and asked, "Young master, how do you like this?"

After looking carefully, Shengze's expression changed slightly and he looked at Zhu Huixin.

Of course he wanted to find a helper who was good at throwing pots, but now there was obviously no other candidate, so he could only nod reluctantly.

"Huh? Me?" Seeing that he was really chosen by the young master.

Zhu Huixin looked a little nervous and waved her hands unconsciously.

Xu Yaqin noticed that she was a little panicked, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her with kind words:

"It doesn't matter whether Madam Zhu wins or loses. The main thing is to have fun. As members of the Marquis's family, it's important for us to participate in this banquet."

"Let's have fun together with the Marquis, otherwise it would be boring to just watch from the side, don't you think?"

Zhu Huixin looked at Mrs. Xu, who was very enthusiastic, and the young master smiling brightly at the side.

Then I thought about the sisters who were waiting to see my joke.

She pondered for a moment, then made a decision and said: "Okay, since Mrs. Xu and the young master think so highly of me, then I will show my disgrace."

Seeing that a three-person team to participate in the competition has been formed.

Xu Yaqin and the young master high-fived each other in perfect agreement.

After the team was established, Xu Yaqin’s biggest headache now was the naming issue.

She has never been as relaxed and comfortable as she is now since she entered the book. She finally had entertainment projects, and of course she put more energy into it.

Right now, he, the young master and Mrs. Zhu are discussing the name of the team.

Shengze was the first to express his opinion, raising his hand and babbling:
"Duck-Duck, Duck-Duck."

Xu Yaqin didn't even think about it and rejected the team name!

It’s okay if this little guy can’t tell the difference.

When the time comes, on the day of the dinner, the duck team will be called to enter.

Xu Yaqin couldn't even imagine how embarrassed she was.

She didn't have any good ideas at the moment, so she turned to Zhu Huixin and asked, "Mrs. Zhu, do you have any good ideas? I'd like to give you some ideas too."

Zhu Huixin thought about it carefully, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she said aloud:
"Mrs. Xu, I think we might as well call them Team Qingyun?"

"Team Qingyun?" Xu Yaqin thought this name was good.

The young master also clapped his hands: "Team Qingyun!"
