"Finally, the young master played on the swing in the yard."

"Would he play such a boring activity as a swing?" Xu Wan suspected that it was not an oversized swing.

Once the rope broke, he would not fall to death.

"The young master does not play on the swing." Cui Liu replied.

"?"

"The birds and cats are swinging on the swing. There are eight cages hanging on the rope, four of which are birds, and four of which are cats. There is a cat staring at each bird. When the young master swung the swing again, the birds screamed in fear for the whole afternoon."

Xu Wan: "..."

There is already a picture, it's really a living devil online!

"But don't worry, Madam, these birds have been raised in the young master's yard since they were young, and their vitality is very tenacious. Not a single one fainted after screaming for an afternoon."

Xu Wan: "..."

It is worthy of being the birds raised by Zong Jincheng.

The ability to withstand pressure is also first-class.

Xu Wan asked again: "Then he has no other serious work to do? Doesn't he study or practice martial arts?"

At this point, Cui Liu suddenly fell silent.

Xu Wan turned to look at her.

But she heard: "The young master likes martial arts very much. General Zhao said that he is very talented. If he is well trained, he will definitely become an outstanding general in the future. But the old lady changed her face when she heard it, and forbade the young master to contact any martial arts again."

The ancestors of the Yuanyang Marquis's Mansion were all military generals, and the title of Marquis was also won by their ancestors on the battlefield. But in the battle eight years ago, the second son of the Marquis's Mansion died in the battle. The eldest son was said to be missing, but it was more because the body was not found.

Everyone actually knew the truth.

Fortunately, Zong Zhao brought back Zong Jincheng before going to the war, otherwise the entire Yuanyang Marquis's Mansion would have almost been extinct.

No matter how strong the old lady is, she is just a mother. Losing her son in middle age is a pain in the ass. If her grandson dies on the battlefield in the future, it will probably be a devastating blow to her.

Xu Wan quickly figured this out and understood the old lady's approach. If she were in his place, she would probably choose the same way.

"Besides martial arts, does he like polo or horse racing?"

We still have to find out what he's interested in.

Cui Liu said, "Just now, housekeeper Liu reported that the son of the Minister of Rites came to see the young master and wanted to invite him to play at the polo field, but the young master refused."

"Ah?" Xu Wan was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

Cui Liu didn't find it funny at first, but seeing that she didn't react and she was the culprit, she couldn't help laughing: "Madam forgot that you just reduced the young master's servants from six to one. The young master is probably embarrassed to go out and play now."

"Pfft, childish thinking, no matter how people laugh at him, he is the only grandson of the Marquis's mansion! What's there to be embarrassed about? If I had his treatment, I would be confident to go out and play every day." Xu Wan rolled her eyes to the sky. She didn't expect the little devil to know about face.

Cui Liu said: "Children's ideas are indeed different from adults, especially the young master who has had a smooth life since childhood and has never suffered any hardship. It is easy for him to be hurt by others' ridicule."

Xu Wan nodded: "I understand, it's just a flower in a greenhouse."

Cui Liu: "..."

It seems that this is not what she wanted to express.

While the two were talking at cross purposes, Cui Zhi came over with a purple dress on a tray in her hand.

"Madam, this is the dress for tomorrow's return visit. Can you try it on to see if it fits?"

Xu Wan then remembered that as a new bride, she had to return home in three days, even if she was not accompanied by her husband, she had to return to the Shangshu Mansion.

She was probably the first new bride in the capital to return home without a husband. She knew what she would face just by thinking about it.

Cui Zhi was a capable maid, and naturally understood the situation of her own wife, so she chose a dark purple dress for Xu Wan to return home. Unlike the light-colored clothes she liked, the dark purple represented the absolute status of the mistress of the marquis's family, and it could give people pressure just by the momentum.

Xu Wan touched the material of the dress, which was smooth and soft, made of the finest mulberry silk.

"Not bad, I'll try it."

The next day.

The wife of the Marquis returned home after three days of worship, and many people gathered in front of the door to watch the excitement, waiting to see the new bride's joke.

"I heard that the Marquis's wife took over the power of the Marquis's housekeeper on the day she got married. It can be seen that she is very capable and must have a powerful appearance."

"That's right. After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Minister of Justice. How could she not have learned some true teachings from the Minister? Maybe she used some unsightly means."

"I'm just curious. When the young Marquis got married, he could only find a rooster to worship in the hall. Did the Marquis's wife go home by herself?"

"I also heard that the old lady and the old Marquis went to other villas. There is indeed no one else in the Marquis's mansion who can accompany them. She must have gone back by herself."

"After all, she is a new bride. How can she live like a widow..."

"Looks bright and beautiful, but in fact lonely and desolate."

"Alas..."

Xu Wan wore a hairpin in the mansion and dressed noble and decent. Her eyebrows were slightly slender, her red lips were slightly pursed, and she was wearing a dark purple mistress's dress. When she raised her eyes, her almond eyes were clear and her aura was fully open, just like a mistress of the house.

"Cuizhi, let's go."

Cuizhi followed Xu Wan out, and before she had gone far, she heard the clear voice of the young boy behind her:

"Wait, I want to go too!"

Cuizhi turned back in surprise.

The little boy wearing a snow-white tiger skin cloak, isn't he the little devil in her family?

He came at this time, wouldn't he make trouble again?

Cui Liu was a straightforward person. She stopped him and refused mercilessly: "Young Master, this is the Madam's return banquet. She has always gone back with her husband, not with her child?"

Besides, he is not Xu Wan's biological son. If he goes back with her, it will definitely be a show of force. If others hear it, they will not know how to discredit the Madam.

Although they don't have such deep feelings for the new Madam, they think she is a good person after spending the past two days together. Moreover, she is valued by the old lady, so they naturally do their best to protect Xu Wan.

It was the first time that Zong Jincheng saw Cui Liu being so rude to him. He wanted to yell back, but when he saw Xu Wan's face, his eyes turned and he immediately changed his expression.

The little devil cleared his throat, shook his big round head, and said in a pretentious and cold voice, "I just think it's too pitiful for you to go home alone, so I am merciful to accompany you back! If you know you are wrong, return the people and things to me, and I may consider giving you a way out."

The little guy's voice became smaller and smaller, and it was inaudible at the end. It was obviously that he was not confident enough and had no confidence in himself.

Xu Wan looked at him shaking his head, his nose was slightly red from the cold, his little face was white and beautiful, and there was an imperceptible dimple not far from the corner of his mouth. If he smiled, it would definitely be very obvious.

At this moment, she once again understood why the Marquis's Mansion indulged him so much. He was so good-looking and cute, it was really easy for his three views to follow his five features.

Xu Wan turned around and walked out with her back to him.

It would be better if she didn't look at him. If she didn't see him, she wouldn't be soft-hearted!
