Houfu Key Class

The little guy ran after them, shouting as he ran, causing the maids on the road to turn their heads.

But the housekeeper Liu, who received the order, was as hard as iron.

The little devil's roar could be heard from time to time in the courtyard:

"This can't be moved, this is my favorite recliner!"

"This pillow is not okay, what can I use as a pillow if you take it away!"

"Shoes! Shoes! Can I be so poor that I have to sell shoes!"

"You... shameless!"

The little devil tried to stop them frantically, but he couldn't jump as high as them, and he didn't know how to fight, so he could only jump up and down in vain.

When Xu Wan came to call him for dinner, she saw that the little devil's voice had been hoarse, and he sat on the doorstep, muttering non-stop: "You bastards... you are so good to people... you are disloyal... I was so good to you before..."

Looking inside, the whole house was looted, and the poverty was shocking.

Xu Wan stared, she didn't expect that housekeeper Liu would be so straightforward, and really moved away all the valuables as she said.

"You want to take away the clothes too? Are you going to force me to go out naked!!!"

Zong Jincheng was tired of scolding, he was so hungry now, he wanted to eat a lot.

At this moment, a burst of fragrance came, the little devil turned his head and saw Cuizhi holding a plate with two big fragrant chicken legs on it.

He swallowed his saliva and turned his eyes to the side, and saw Xu Wan's unkind face.

Bad woman, that pretty face wasted.

"Young Master Jincheng, you must be tired of shouting, eat something." Xu Wan leaned out and reminded, "It's dark, it's time for dinner."

Zong Jincheng rolled his eyes at her and stretched out his hand, Cuizhi quickly brought the plate over.

The little devil usually pays great attention to table manners, but today he was so angry and tired that he didn't even wash his hands. He just grabbed the chicken leg with his bare hands and ate it.

Cuizhi has watched him grow up since he was a child. This is the first time she saw the little master being defeated. She couldn't help but laugh.

Just such a small smile was discovered by the little devil and glared at him fiercely. This kid now regards the entire mansion as Xu Wan's people.

Fortunately, Xu Wan still has a conscience. She didn't force him to go to the study room or not to eat. She waited until the little guy finished eating both chicken legs, and then slowly opened her mouth: "The food is in the lobby. If you want to eat something else, go there and eat at will. From now on, you will eat three meals a day there. Eat whatever is cooked in the kitchen. Don't be picky. Otherwise, you will solve your own food and drink."

Xu Wan spoke slowly and seemed to be non-threatening, but in fact, she set the rules well.

Zong Jincheng was arrogant, difficult to serve, and of course picky, but now he was in Xu Wan's hands. He was isolated and helpless. A head-on confrontation would only make him have no food to eat.

The little guy rolled his eyes and said, "I know." Then he stood up and went to the hall to eat.

This night was very peaceful. Xu Wan went back to her room to rest after dinner. The maids helped her take a bath and lie on the bed. She slept alone on the extra-large luxury bed, and it was comfortable no matter how she rolled.

Xu Wan looked at the top of the bed and the red in the room, and then she remembered that today was her wedding night with Zong Zhao, but Zong Zhao had been missing for many years, and she was afraid that she was the first bride in history to stay alone in an empty room.

But it was better this way, so she didn't have to deal with more people.

She was almost exhausted after a busy day today. Although everyone in the Marquis's Mansion cooperated with her actions, from taking over the house keys to fighting wits and courage with the little devil, too many things happened, and she really couldn't bear the energy...

The next day.

Xu Wan rarely slept until noon, and the sunlight came in through the window and shone on her eyes.

"Cuizhi, what time is it?"

"Madam, it's 4:40 in the morning."

Xu Wan was in a daze. When she heard this reply, she sat up in shock.

It's ten o'clock!

In ancient times, people didn't have a rich nightlife, so they all paid attention to going to bed early and getting up early. Her father went to court at four or five in the morning, and the women in the family also got up early.

This was the first time she woke up so late since she came here.

"Today... is there nothing? Why didn't you call me?" It was the first time that Xu Wan woke up so late, and she was a little embarrassed.

Cuizhi smiled and said, "Today should be the day for the bride to offer tea to her parents-in-law, but the old marquis and the old lady are not here, so you don't have to get up early."

Xu Wan thought about it and agreed.

So, she lay down again.

Cuizhi asked again: "Madam, are you hungry? Do you want me to bring you some porridge?"

Xu Wan waved her hand: "No, I'll wait... By the way, where is Zong Jincheng? Did the boy go to the hall to eat properly?"

"Yes, the young master went there very obediently." Cuizhi praised, "Madam is still a good person. In the past, the old lady called the young master but he didn't go. Now he comes when it's time for dinner without being reminded."

Cuizhi's praise was very useful, but Xu Wan felt that something was wrong.

Especially before leaving yesterday, the little devil rolled his eyes. That look... How could he be so obedient?

"No, it's a trick."

Xu Wan lifted the quilt and got up. She got out of bed quickly and put on her clothes and shoes. The maids who wanted to serve her next to her had no room to intervene.

They were not allowed to go on stage until the last moment, but Xu Wan was not idle: "Cui Liu, go check where Zong Jincheng went after getting up, who he met, what he did, and come back to report everything to me."

"Yes." Cui Liu accepted the task and went to carry it out.

Cui Zhi smiled as she tied her hair: "Madam, are you worried that the young master might have some bad ideas?"

Xu Wan snorted and said, "That kid is very clever. In the past, he only had to act like a spoiled child and cry to deal with his grandparents. Now that I am a strange stepmother, I am afraid that it will arouse another kind of evil in his heart."

"Another kind of evil?" Cuizhi frowned.

She felt that this word was a bit serious. Although her little son was naughty, he was simple-minded and would not have the intention to harm others.

Xu Wan looked at the two hairpins on the dressing table. One was a jade hairpin, which was simple and generous, and the other was a gold hairpin, which was elegant and luxurious.

Before the change, she would choose the jade hairpin because it looked neat.

But now...

The woman picked up the gold hairpin and handed it to Cuizhi: "Everyone has evil thoughts in their hearts. The difference is their bottom line. Some people have a low bottom line and do whatever it takes to achieve their goals; some people have a high bottom line and have evil thoughts but do not have the courage to implement them."

Little bastard, let me see where your bottom line is.

After getting dressed, Xu Wan walked out. She usually ate in her own yard, but she was inevitably isolated from the news, so she followed Cuizhi to the lobby.

At this time, the lobby was already empty.

Xu Wan sat in her seat, drinking porridge intermittently, occasionally looking up to observe the maids coming and going outside. She could see clearly from the main seat.

Cui Liu came in to report: "The young master got up at noon, came to eat after waking up, and went to the horse farm after eating. During this period, he did not contact anyone outside his courtyard."

"Not in the mansion..." Xu Wan turned her neck, put herself in Zong Jincheng's shoes, and began to think about what this kid was thinking now.

He should be thinking...

He is penniless now, and it is difficult to ask for money from his stepmother. Only when his stepmother leaves the mansion can he return to his previous position in the mansion.

Or if his stepmother takes the initiative to give up the right to manage the house and asks his grandmother to come back for support, he will have the opportunity to ask his grandmother to cancel this boring teaching plan.

Just as Xu Wan was thinking of the second possibility, several maids rushed in from outside and reported in a hurry:

"Madam, something happened in the backyard, two maids were fighting in the laundry room!"

"Madam, Hong Yi Niang from the second room lost something, and they said it was given to her by the second master before he died!"

"Madam, the newly recruited maids gathered together for fun and burned down the fire room!"
