The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Wan Lianxing smiled and stretched out a finger, gently touching the child's face. The touch was smooth and delicate. It was the first time he touched such a small baby, and he was afraid of hurting it. "I missed the full moon banquet, I should be able to attend the one-year-old banquet." As he spoke, Wan Lianxing's eyes stayed on the child's face and studied it carefully. After a pause, he said, "Your daughter looks a lot like Boss Qian!"

Actually, what he wanted to say was that the child was a little ugly. But when Boss Qian talked about his daughter, he became confused and looked lost. He couldn't understand the hidden meaning behind Wan Lianxing's words. Boss Qian smiled and nodded hurriedly, saying, "Uncle, I have always thought that my daughter looks more like me. She just looks like me. But those people said that she looks like Bai Qian. Uncle, you have good eyesight."

Hearing what Boss Qian said, Wan Lianxing tried to suppress his laughter. He wanted to say: What good is it for this child to look like you? He is ugly. But on the surface, he still followed Boss Qian's wishes and said, "Well, he looks like you, not very much like Bai Qian."

At this time, Madam Wan, who was standing by, took a step forward with Zhong Siyu, stretched out her hand and blocked Wan Baiqian and Boss Qian behind her, and scolded: "When can't you talk to your uncle? Your uncle hasn't seen Siyu yet, let Siyu talk to your uncle."

Zhong Siyu, who had not been seen for a long time, was wearing a light blue dress and holding a silver handkerchief in her hand. Because she had not seen Wan Lianxing for a long time, she looked down at the ground tenderly, and her hand holding the handkerchief was a little too strong. The white jade hairpin hanging low on her bun swayed gently with her movements. With a bit of reserve on her face, she first gave Wan Lianxing a greeting.

Wan Lianxing's eyes fell on Zhong Siyu, his brows slightly furrowed, and he asked, "Is it because the housework in the mansion is too heavy? Why have you lost so much weight?"

Zhong Siyu gently shook her head, parted her red lips and whispered, "Not tired."

Wan Lianxing obviously didn't believe her words. He pressed on, "Is the food in your house bad? It's only been a few months since we last met. How come you've become so thin?" His tone unconsciously became a little heavier.

Madam Wan, who was standing by, saw this and patted Wan Lianxing on the shoulder in a reproachful manner, complaining: "It's all because of you! You didn't stay at home, but had to go out to lead troops to fight. You've been gone for nearly a year, who wouldn't miss you? Siyu worries about your safety all day long, and you don't eat well or sleep well, so how can you not become thinner day by day?" Madam Wan said to the others: "Okay, don't stand at the door and talk, let Lianxing go in and rest. Lianxing must be exhausted from all the hard work on the way, let's talk inside if you have anything to say."

As she spoke, Madam Wan pulled Wan Lianxing towards the courtyard, and Zhong Siyu followed silently behind.

Boss Qian, who was walking just a few steps behind them, walked slowly forward while whispering to Wan Baiqian and Shang Xi beside him: "Look at you guys, only Zhong Siyu has good vision."

Hearing this, Shang Xi retorted in a very low voice: "Humph, how can she be considered discerning? Having an uncle is like going through a tribulation."

Boss Qian lowered his voice quickly, fearing that the people in front of him would hear him: "You are too young. You and your sister, no one will ever be able to compare to Miss Zhong."

Shang Xi was not happy when she heard this. She immediately widened her eyes and raised her voice, "Hey, I admit that I am not as gentle and elegant as Miss Zhong, but my sister and I are not bad, right? Why are you belittling me and my sister today?"

Shang Xi was not convinced, because she felt that among these women, Zhong Siyu was the one who had a bad life. She looked at Wan Baiqian, but saw that she was smiling softly with her lips pursed, so she quickly said: "Sister, why are you still smiling? Why don't you deal with my brother-in-law? He is belittling the two of us."

However, Wan Baiqian just smiled and shook his head, and also lowered his voice to respond to Shang Xi: "You can belittle her if you want to. It's because we two don't have the same vision as Miss Zhong."

"Huh? What's going on? Sister, why are you still belittling yourself?" Shang Xi asked puzzled.

At this time, Boss Qian laughed softly: "Shang Xi, haven't you figured it out yet? Miss Zhong has quickly transformed herself into more than just a Marquise."

Shang Xi's eyes rolled and her mouth opened wide, "Ah! Is this what you are talking about?"

Boss Qian said, "What do you think I'm talking about? You're a lucky woman. You'll get whatever you want in the future."

Shang Xi thought about it and felt that this Zhong Siyu did have some vision. Judging from the current situation, Wan Lianxing was not just a good-looking man, he also had some real skills. In just less than a year, this man had already seized the military power of one side. Shang Xi couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. This man was really terrible.

At this time, Shang Xi turned around and said to Boss Qian and Wan Baiqian: "You go to the hall first, I will be there soon."

Boss Qian asked, "Where are you going?"

Shang Xi said, "I have to find Cheng Youning. My uncle has asked him by name. It would be so rude if I don't call him."

……

Shang Xi didn't know where the child had run off to. She searched several places and finally found Cheng Youning's trace in the garden of the prefect's mansion because she saw Qiao Rong standing there.

Shang Xi called out, "Qiao Rong, where's Cheng Youning?"

Hearing Shang Xi's cry, Qiao Rong hurriedly turned around and quickly put a finger to his mouth, making a silencing gesture, and whispered: "Shh - Madam, keep your voice down, the young master is catching katydids, if you scare them away, he will be angry."

Shang Xi heard this and quickly walked over, then lowered her voice and asked, "Why does this kid always like to catch katydids?"

Qiao Rong said, "Madam, the young master has also caught the cricket."

Shang Xi couldn't help but feel helpless after hearing this, "He really doesn't let go of anything, where are the others?"

Qiao Rong pointed to a patch of grass and whispered, "It's hiding right there."

Shang Xi stretched his neck to look in the direction Qiao Rong pointed, but couldn't find even a single person.

After about a cup of tea, there was a rustling sound in the bushes, followed by Cheng Youning's giggling. He poked his head out of the bushes in high spirits, holding one hand high in the air, his face flushed with excitement, "Mom! Qiao Rong! Look, I caught a big katydid. It must be very ferocious!"
