Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 29
Thinking of the arrogant and domineering temperament of His Royal Highness, Huo Yuan couldn't help but frowned, with a trace of hesitation on his face, "Mother, this seems a bit..."

"I know you are worried about Xiao Su's being blamed." Mrs. Tai interrupted him, "It's just that since she dared to make a big disaster at the beginning, she should bear the consequences. Besides, if nothing else, it's because she has seen For the sake of the deceased Su family, you shouldn't stop it. Otherwise, what will the British government think? What will your legitimate son and daughter think? Don't forget, the British government is your serious in-law family, Xiao Su Shi is just a puppet, that's all, you have to be measured in this regard."

Hearing this, Huo Yuan frowned even tighter, but he is an extremely rational person after all, so he quickly figured out the pros and cons, stretched his brows and said: "My son understands what mother said, don't worry, My son will not fight against the British government for Xiao Su's sake."

Mrs. Tai knows that Huo Yuan is a person who keeps what he says, and she can't help nodding with satisfaction when she got his assurance. Unexpectedly, Huo Yuan said again: "Although Xiao Su's fault in this matter, the Lord Baoling County is not innocent. The reason is that there is no imperial seal on Xiao Su, otherwise, they would not dare to treat her like this. Therefore, the son thought about it for a while, and after the matter subsides, he will ask for an imperial order for Xiao Su, not to mention, there is no imperial order In the body, whether it is to enter the palace to invite An Chaochen, or to go out to socialize, it is not very convenient."

Mrs. Tai's face froze when she heard this, but after thinking about it, she felt that Xiao Su should be given a conferment. After all, she is already the step-wife of Marquis Changwu. , then nodded and said: "You can figure this out, as long as you have a sense of proportion."

Su Wan naturally didn't know the conversation between their mother and son, and only focused on recuperating from her illness.However, she found that after Huo Yuan got angry that day, the maidservants in Wangqiu Courtyard didn't dare to neglect their duties, and they respected her a lot more than before.

Su Wan was very satisfied with this, and didn't have the energy to subdue them, as long as they were willing to do things honestly.

During Su Wan's convalescence, those concubines of Marquis Chang Wu, as well as her cheap sons and daughters, all visited her.

However, Su Wan didn't have any unpleasantness with them.Although those children are young, they are all human beings, and they will not be disrespectful to their aunt.

And those concubines, although they would sarcasm a few words in a subtle way and occasionally say some acid words, they would not sneer at her openly.If they dare to be disrespectful to their main wives, no matter whether it is the well-mannered Mrs. Tai or the unkind Marquis Changwu, they will not show mercy.

In fact, Su Wan sometimes feels that she is lucky. At least the Marquis of Changwu has strict rules, and the Marquis is not a person who favors concubines and destroys wives. Even if these concubines want to do something, they probably have no power.

What's more, Su Wan is barren and has no background, so she doesn't pose much threat to their lives and children. They would rather let Su Wan occupy the position of main wife than have a powerful mistress who can bear children and put pressure on them. on the head.

All kinds of reasons combined, the relationship between Su Wan and them is quite harmonious.

I just don't know, when Su Wan is more and more valued by Lord Hou, will the backyard of Hou's mansion be as peaceful as it is now?

Today, the sun is shining brightly and the spring breeze is warm.

Su Wan felt better physically, so she planned to take a walk in the yard to bask in the sun.

Lu Fu was worried about Su Wan's body, so she followed her every step of the way.

The three big girls, Bauhinia, Hongxiao and Qingling, have all gone about their own affairs. Although they still look down on Su Wan, they still have to do what they should do. She didn't dare to belittle Su Wan as usual.

Qingling has always had no sense of presence, and she doesn't take matters into her own hands. This matter has no effect on her, as it was before, it is still the same now.

It's just that her needlework is the best among the four of them. She was originally in charge of the needlework in Wangqiu Courtyard and was responsible for sewing clothes for Su Wan, but Su Wan'er never asked her to do it before. Su Wan didn't want to just do it. Let her go and let her make some clothes for herself.

After Su Wan fell into the water, the Marquis of Jinxiang sent a lot of compensation, and there were also a lot of valuable silk and satin. Huo Yuan also specially asked Aunt Wang, who presided over the gift, to open a warehouse, and gave Su Wan a lot of valuables such as tonics, jewelry, and silk. Things come, so Su Wan is still relatively well-off, not as stretched as before.

Bauhinia and Hongxiong are also more honest and bloody than before, they don't dare to blatantly run around, or go to the eldest lady to find a sense of presence, although they are not too close to Su Wan, but they still stay in Wangqiu Courtyard obediently Yes, and occasionally help Qing Ling do some sewing.

Wangqiu Courtyard was unexpectedly calm and calm like never before, giving Su Wan a relatively good environment for recuperating from illness.

While Su Wan was taking a walk in the yard to bask in the sun, Liandong, the second-class girl of Wangqiu Courtyard, suddenly ran into the courtyard with a face full of excitement. When she saw Su Wan, she couldn't help being surprised. She probably didn't expect her to leave the courtyard. , hurriedly restrained his expression, stepped forward to salute nervously and said: "I have seen my wife, this servant is reckless, and almost bumped into my wife, please punish me."

Lu Fu frowned, and reprimanded: "Where did you learn the rules? Don't you know that running and making loud noises are not allowed in the inner courtyard? If you are so reckless and offended the master, you will bear the responsibility." up?"

"I know I was wrong, I don't dare to do it anymore." Liandong knew she was wrong, she didn't dare to argue, and kowtowed to admit her mistake.

"Okay, Lu Fu, since she knows she's wrong, let her go!" Su Wan thought that this girl is usually honest, so she decided to spare her once, but what should be beaten still needs to be beaten, so she said sternly: "Just, But one must not be two, if there is a next time, you don't have to beg for mercy, just go out."

Lufu also had a good impression of Lonicera, and she also wanted to win Su Wan's heart, so she nodded reluctantly and said: "It's just that my wife is good-natured, so I don't care about you, why don't you thank my wife."

Lu Fu is the eldest girl in charge of Wangqiu Courtyard. After Hu's mother left, she was the eldest, so she naturally had the right to deal with these little girls.

"Yes, I have remembered, I will thank my wife." Liandong heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately kowtowed, showing gratitude.

Su Wan asked her to get up first, and then asked: "You ran so fast and excited just now, but what happened in the mansion?"

Lian Dong stood up after thanking her, and said honestly: "Returning to Madam, there are a few girls who came to the mansion, all of them are outstanding in writing, and they are more beautiful than flowers. Hit the wife."

After Su Wan dismissed Lonicera, she stopped basking in the sun and went straight back to the room, frowning slightly.

Some time ago, Mrs. Tai specially ordered Aunt Wang to prepare a guest house, just to welcome these delicate guests, but I don't know the purpose.
