Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 42
Therefore, she could only comfort her and said: "Madam, there is no need to rush this matter. As long as you can win Lord Hou's heart all the time, and when the time is right, if you ask him again, Lord Hou will definitely help you out. Then Even the British government has to show face to Lord Hou, and when the time comes, we will bring the old lady and the young master to the Hou's residence, and with the protection of Lord Hou, the British government will have nothing to do with you."

What Lu Fu said was right, it was also Su Wan's original plan, and it was also the most suitable way for Su Wan.

However, Su Wan couldn't wait any longer.Moreover, this matter depends too much on Lord Hou. If Lord Hou disagrees, what can she do.

Who can guarantee that she will be favored by Lord Hou?
Even if Lord Hou dotes on her, would he really offend the British government because of her?
This kind of hope is too slim, and she doesn't want to pin all her hopes on Marquis Changwu.

Just like she couldn't put all her eggs in one basket, she had to think of another way out.

Thinking of this, a bright yellow figure suddenly flashed in Su Wan's mind, she couldn't help reaching out to touch her empty earlobe, her eyes narrowed slightly.

That night, Marquis Changwu came to Wangqiuyuan again.

Because Su Wan's health has recovered, Huo Yuan planned to stay overnight.

Last night Huo Yuan originally planned to stay in Wangqiu Courtyard, but unfortunately he was called away by Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Wang cut off his beard, which made Aunt Wang very proud.

This time, Aunt Wang is going to repeat the old trick, and intends to use the name of Mrs. Tai to lure Lord Hou to her yard. Unfortunately, Mrs. Tai had a rest early because she was too tired. She had no choice but to watch helplessly. Lord Hou stayed in Wangqiu courtyard.

The other concubines also bit their veils and looked sourly in the direction of Wangqiuyuan, wondering if this stepwife was about to stand up——

First he was summoned by the concubine Xian, and then he was suddenly favored by Lord Hou. This momentum, no matter how you look at it, is very fast.

Seeing Su Wan being favored, the others were nothing but bitter and jealous, but they also accepted this fact, but this Aunt Yu, who had just entered the mansion, felt a little anxious.

Who made her offend Su Wan'er as soon as she entered the mansion!
It's not that she doesn't know that Su Wan'er deliberately saved her own white japonica rice for her sick mother, but she still took action to keep Su Wan'er's rice, all she relied on was Lord Marquis' favor and love. Su Wan'er has no children, no favor, and no status.

If she wants to establish her own position in the Hou's mansion, she has to take someone to do it, and this step-wife is the most suitable one.After all, everyone knows that persimmons need to be picked softly!
But she never expected that the world would change so quickly!

Because of her pregnancy, Master Hou has not come for a while.However, Xiao Su got a lot of attention from Lord Hou because of an illness.Moreover, the number of stays in Wangqiuyuan has also increased, which makes Aunt Yu feel very uneasy.

Even if Xiao Su's family is the second wife, even if she has not been conferred, she is still the daughter-in-law of the Hou family's official matchmaker. For concubines like them, she has a natural advantage. It's fine if she is not favored. Besides Madam, who else can overwhelm her?
She could even imagine her miserable end after Xiao Su's favor.

It is absolutely impossible to continue like this, she must find a way to regain favor as soon as possible.If you wait until the baby is born, the day lily will be cold.What's more, she might not be able to give birth to a boy yet. At that time, without this amulet, wouldn't she really be slaughtered?

Not to mention that Aunt Yu tried every means to win the favor, but here in Wangqiu Courtyard there is a happy spring.

Ever since Huo Yuan saw Su Wan cry that day, her shadow has left a shallow mark in his heart. Although he doesn't know whether he feels pity for her or something else, it is undeniable that he does treat Su Wan very well. It's a little different, at least not as indifferent as before.

Even the bed was much gentler than before. She no longer only cared about her own refreshment, but also knew how it felt to take care of Su Wan, and her actions showed a sense of caring and tenderness.

Su Wan, who was treated gently by him, was not so tense anymore. Apart from the initial discomfort, she was immersed in it faster than before, and felt the real happiness between husband and wife for the first time.

After the matter was over, Su Wan leaned against Huo Yuan's generous chest, calming down her slightly shortness of breath, her long hair was spread out behind her, scattered messily on the pillow and bed, against her sweaty forehead, There is a different kind of enchanting.

Huo Yuan knew that he had exhausted her this time.

He has always had great self-control, he would never indulge himself in any woman's bed, but this time, he didn't know what was wrong, he just didn't want to stop, and as a result, he indulged once for the first time.

Su Wan has just recovered from a serious illness, and her body is still a little weak, how can she resist his plundering again and again?In the end, he was so tired that he didn't even want to move his fingers.

Although Su Wan really wanted to fall asleep immediately, but she couldn't sleep without taking a bath.

It was Huo Yuan who ordered the water himself, and the two of them took a mandarin duck bath together.

Su Wan was a little shy and resisted at first, but because she was too tired, she couldn't resist him, so she could only let him go.

After they finished bathing, the messy beds had been tidied up and the mattresses were replaced with new ones.

While sleeping, Huo Yuan stretched out his arms and hugged Su Wan into his arms.

Just when Su Wan was about to fall asleep, Huo Yuan's sudden words woke Su Wan up, and she looked up at Huo Yuan in disbelief——

"Master Hou, what did you just say?"

Huo Yuan looked at Su Wan staring at him with disbelief, and suddenly felt very satisfied in his heart, even the corners of his lips could not help but slightly curled up, and he didn't feel the words that he said out of impulse. Regretted, he repeated softly: "Don't be in a hurry to go to the British government tomorrow, I will go with you after I leave court tomorrow."

Huo Yuan is quite familiar with the character of Princess Shouning, if Su Wan goes by herself, she will definitely encounter unimaginable difficulties.

The Eldest Princess has always been extremely protective, and she loves County Master Baoling the most. In the capital, there are few people who can make her fearful. She has always acted arrogantly and without any scruples. If Su Wan had an imperial order, she would still give her some points. Face, but Su Wan is only in vain now, how can she show mercy?
If he went with Su Wan, the Eldest Princess would not go too far.

Su Wan was really knocked out by this pie from the sky, she stared at Huo Yuan blankly, as if she hadn't reacted yet.

To be honest, she never even thought about Huo Yuan going to the British government with her, because she felt that it was really impossible.
