Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 28 Collision
The British government sent someone to inquire about the crime, which was naturally the meaning of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.

"What if I don't go?" Su Wan said.

"If the wife doesn't go," Lu Fu bit her lip, "then your mother and younger brother may..."

"Okay! That's really good!" Su Wan laughed back angrily, "As expected of Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, she is really domineering, no wonder she taught such an arrogant and domineering daughter."

"Mrs……"

"Lu Fu, you go down first! I want to be alone for a while."

Lu Fu looked at Su Wan worriedly for a while, then went away quietly.

Su Wan closed her eyes, her heart writhed with anger, aggrieved and unwillingness, her chest was congested, and she coughed violently again, coughing and coughing, counting her nose, tears also fell down along with her.

Su Wan coughed and coughed, and suddenly raised her eyes, and found a person standing in front of the bed at some point. He was still wearing a crimson military uniform, with a majestic lion embroidered on the patch on his chest. Huo Yuan, Marquis of Changwu.

I don't know how long he has been here.

"...Master Hou..." Su Wan suppressed the cough that was about to reach her mouth, and called out softly.

At this moment, Su Wan's already small face became smaller due to her illness, but her eyes grew bigger, and those black and white pupils became more pure after being washed by tears. .The eyelashes are like crow feathers, dense, black, and slender. With a slight trembling, the water droplets on the eyelashes will slide down the cheeks, as if dripping into the heart of a person. The morbid blush on the pale face is even more touching. beauty.

Huo Yuan's hand behind his back tightened unconsciously, and then he walked forward, bent down and reached out to wipe her tears, touching the soft skin, making his hand linger endlessly, reluctant to leave, his expression suddenly softened a bit After a minute, he asked, "What? Is your body uncomfortable?"

Because of his actions, Su Wan blushed slightly, and shook her head lightly.

"Where have all your maids gone? Why aren't you around to serve them? Why are you keeping them for such incompetent maids? It's better to get rid of them early." Thinking of Su Wan coughing so badly and no one came to serve her, Huo Yuan His face immediately turned cold.

The maids who came over because of Lord Hou's arrival, wanting to show their presence, were shocked when they heard this, and quickly knelt on the ground, not even daring to say a word to beg for mercy.

"Master Hou, calm down. I didn't let them wait in front of me. Don't blame them." Su Wan reached out to hold Huo Yuan's hand, took his hand off her face, and said softly, " Moreover, before you came, Lu Fu stayed by the bed to serve me, guarding me for three days, and I just let her go to rest."

"She is a loyal girl." Huo Yuan said, being held by Su Wan's soft little hand, and seeing her look at him with attachment eyes for the first time, Huo Yuan only felt that his heart was suddenly soft, soft The sour feeling made him feel a little strange, but not very repulsive.

"However, it is also true that these girls are not doing their duty. Since you pleaded for her, let them be spared once, and only pay two months' monthly fine. If there is another time, they will be kicked out of the house directly. Don't be too soft-hearted. , these people can’t be used, and then pick new people to serve.”

All the maids were silent when they heard the words, they were obedient, and even said they would never dare again. Afterwards, they thanked Su Wan respectfully, and then slowly retreated.

Seeing how much the Marquis attached to Su Wan, they didn't dare to belittle Su Wan anymore.

Even people from the British government would not dare to disobey Huo Yuan's order. If Huo Yuan let them die, the British government would never intervene. Besides, since they married with Su Wan, they would naturally be Chang People from Wuhou Mansion.

Huo Yuan said a few more words with Su Wan, and then he planned to go to Songhe Courtyard to pay his respects to Mrs. Tai.

Because it was already a bit inappropriate for him to visit Su Wan as soon as he returned to the mansion.Now that she knew that Su Wan was awake, she was relieved.

He was about to leave, but Su Wan held his hand and looked at him pleadingly, as if he was afraid that he would not come back after he left.

If other women were so ignorant of flattery, he would definitely reprimand her in a cold voice and leave without mercy. However, facing the lovely and pitiful Su Wan, he couldn't express what he reprimanded, but he felt a sense of nostalgia for her. He was a little happy, so he shook Su Wan's hand back and said, "You take good care of your illness, don't worry, I will come to see you again."

After hearing his assurance, Su Wan slowly let go of his hand, with a hint of joy in her eyes, she nodded silently.

Huo Yuan suddenly had an urge to stay, but in the end reason prevailed and he turned around and left.

Songheyuan.

"You went to see Xiao Su's again?" Mrs. Chang Wuhou looked at Huo Yuan with complicated eyes.

Huo Yuan did not hide anything, nodded and said: "No matter what you say, she is still my wife, so it is always right to care about her."

It's right to care about her, but you care too much, even surpassing her as a mother.

Although Mrs. Chang Wu Hou Tai was dissatisfied, she didn't want to create a quarrel with her son because of this matter, so she could only put this account on Su Wan's head.

She said in a light tone: "This little Su family has become more and more disrespectful recently. Some time ago, she dared to disrespect her nanny. I thought she was the first offender, so she let it go after a few words. Who You know, she has become more and more lawless, and dared to offend the county magistrate. If this continues, won't even I be ignored?"

Huo Yuan frowned at first when he heard the words, but when he thought of Su Wan's pitiful little appearance, he was still a little soft-hearted, and said: "Mother is serious. Although Xiao Su made mistakes, she has also been taught a lesson, and she will definitely correct herself in the future. And , she is young and always impulsive, so she still needs to be taught and restrained by her mother in the future."

Hearing that Huo Yuan defended Su Wan, Mrs. Tai became more and more dissatisfied with Su Wan in her heart. She felt that she had seduced her son and urged him to separate from her, but she never showed it, and still smiled kindly and generously: "I Don't worry, Xiao Su's family background is not high, and it's not surprising that she doesn't know the rules of etiquette. Even if it's not for her, I will teach her well for the reputation of the Houfu. Otherwise, if she makes a fool of herself outside, The one who is shameless is our Changwuhou Mansion."

Huo Yuan took Mrs. Tai's words seriously, and he was naturally very relieved that his mother would teach Xiao Su, and he respected his mother even more in his heart.

Seeing Huo Yuan's expression, Mrs. Tai's expression became more relaxed, and her smile became more sincere, and she said: "In two days, when Xiao Su's health is better, let her go to the British government to report to the Lord Baoling County. Apologize, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is not a petite person, so I think she won't make things difficult for her."
