Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 2
The last girl, only five years old, is Sixth Miss Huo Lingfang, who is cute and innocent.

"Greetings to my wife." The servant girl took three cushions and placed them in front of them, and the three girls knelt down to salute Su Wan.

"Get up, sit down!" Su Wan looked at the three of them carefully for a while, then said in a gentle tone, and signaled their maid to help their young lady up.

"Mrs. Xie!" The three of them stood up and sat in a row of chairs along the west wall one by one.

Su Wan simply asked them about their homework and female celebrities, and all three of them answered. They seemed to be respectful to her aunt.

Su Wan doesn't care if they really respect her or not, as long as she maintains a respectful face.

At this time, the three young masters also came to pay their respects to Su Wan. The oldest of them was eight years old, and the youngest was only four years old. Su Wan met them, asked a few words, and let them go back.If they stay for a long time, I'm afraid there are still some people who are worried!

The three of Huo Lingyun also planned to resign.

The young ladies of the Hou's mansion were raised by Mrs. Tai's side, and usually ate in Mrs. Tai's courtyard. When Mrs. Tai fell ill, they went back to her own yard to eat, so Su Wan didn't keep them.

However, before leaving, Huo Lingyun hesitated to speak, as if she had something to say.

Su Wan asked the others to go back first, leaving only Miss Huo Lingyun behind.

"There are no outsiders here, just say what you have to say." Su Wan said lightly.

Huo Lingyun was not polite, and said directly: "When my daughter came, I happened to see Zijing kneeling in the court. My daughter didn't know what big mistake Zijing had made to let his wife punish her so severely. Waiting for the big girl, she has a reputation in the Hou's mansion. If the wife does this, won't she lose face and face others? Not only the servants are chilled, but even outsiders will say that the wife treats the servants harshly, please think twice."

Su Wan smiled slightly when she heard the words, and said: "I know that the eldest lady has good intentions, but since I punished her, I naturally have my reasons. I can't just let a mere servant bully me for a little reputation and act as a domineering So, wouldn't that mess up the dignity?"

"But..." Huo Lingyun wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Su Wan raising her hand, and said: "Missy is still young, and she has a mellow mind. She only knows how to be lenient to others, but she doesn't know how to bully the master. If you blindly indulge, you don't know how to restrain yourself." , sooner or later they made a big mistake, and I did it for her own good."

Now that this is all said, what else can Huo Lingyun say, but she has no choice but to resign and leave.

When she came out of the room, she saw Zijing kneeling in the yard looking at her with hope.

She shook her head slightly at Bauhinia, expressing that she was helpless, and then she took her maid and left.

Seeing this, Bauhinia's face immediately became very ugly. After a while, she touched her face, gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "Su Wan'er, don't be complacent, let's wait and see."

After Huo Lingyun left, Su Wan stretched, stood up, and asked someone to set the meal.

Originally, she should have gone to pay Mrs. Tai's peace, but Mrs. Tai has recently suffered from an old illness and is recuperating in peace of mind, so she saved everyone from waiting for morning and night.

"Ma'am, Aunt Chen and Aunt Wu are here." Lu Fu came in from the outside and said softly to Su Wan.

"Only the two of them?" Su Wan raised her eyebrows.

Lu Fu lowered her eyebrows and explained pleasingly: "Aunt Wang wants to preside over Zhongfu, and she doesn't need to make up for the wife. This is also agreed by Mrs. Sun. Aunt Sun is not very cheerful, so she will not come when she is sick. Aunt Yu She was pregnant, and Mrs. Tai let her raise her baby with peace of mind, so..."

Su Wan nodded expressionlessly, and said, "In that case, let them go back too, just kowtow outside the door, I won't let them serve you here."

"Yes." Lu Fu bowed her knees and saluted, and then went out to spread the word.

Su Wan simply ate her breakfast, retreated from everyone, leaned on the kang, frowning and meditating.

Her body is named Su Wan'er, she is only 17 years old this year, and she is the stepmother of Huo Yuan, Marquis of Changwu.

Su Wan'er was born in a side branch of the British government, but her father was just a down-and-out man and passed away early. It was her mother who worked hard to bring up their siblings. Her younger brother Su Wen, who was five years younger than her, was a little bookworm. His only wish is to inherit his father's last wish, to pass the Jinshi examination, and to shine on the family lintel.

However, blessings and misfortunes never come singly. Two years ago, Su Wan'er's mother suddenly became seriously ill, which cast a shadow over their already not well-to-do family.

With no other choice, Su Wan'er had no choice but to seek help from her distant uncle, Su Yao, the British Duke.

What Su Wan'er didn't expect was that Duke Ying not only hired an imperial doctor to treat her mother's illness, but also sent her younger brother to study ethnology, free of all training, and monthly payments.When Su Wen was selected as a scholar in the future, he would invite famous teachers to teach him. The only requirement was that Su Wan'er marry into the Hou's mansion and become the successor of Marquis Changwu.

And Marquis Changwu's original partner is Su Qingqian, the eldest daughter of the British government.Unfortunately, a year ago, Su Qingqian died of a blood collapse during childbirth, one dead body and two lives.

I heard that recently the wife of the Marquis of Changwu is looking at the candidates for the successor. The wife of the Duke of England, the aunt of the current emperor, Princess Shouning, feels sorry for the two children left by her daughter in the Marquis. She is afraid that the successor will enter the door. After being abused, he fell in love with the Hou's successor.

The best way is to marry a concubine, but the Eldest Princess is jealous, the Duke has never taken concubines in his life, and has no concubines and concubines. If it is her, she also has a concubine and a second daughter, who is still in her boudoir.

However, it would be too uneconomical and too inferior to let the daughter of the dignified Duke's mansion be the successor to a marquis' mansion, and she would inevitably be laughed at, and besides, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess would also be reluctant.

Just when the Duke's Mansion was frowning, by coincidence, Su Wan'er bumped into it by herself.

Su Wan'er was hit by this huge pie.Surprised, but also a little apprehensive.

Although she was the successor to Marquis Chang Wu, such a good marriage was beyond Su Wan'er's imagination.

After all, Marquis Changwu is not the kind of nobleman who has a title but no real power. He is also the governor of the left army and the governor of the right. I don't know how many rich officials and eunuchs lined up to marry him!How could it be her turn?
Until the British government prepared the dowry and dowry candidates for Su Wan'er, she was still a little dizzy, as if she was in a dream.

But before she got married, what Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said woke her up from her dream, and she fell from heaven to hell in an instant.

The eldest princess made Su Wan'er drink sterilization soup.From now on, Su Wan'er will no longer be able to have any children.

Su Wan'er's sole purpose of marrying into the Marquis' Mansion was to take care of the two children left behind by Su Qingqian. If anything happened to them, the Duke's Mansion would not only cut off her mother's decoction, but also remove Su Wen from the ethnology. Get out.
