After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

Since these two people didn't know what politeness was, the nerd Zhao Bogao next to them seemed very polite and courteous.

"Mr. Lin, I am sorry to bother you."

Since you knew you were disturbing me, why did you come uninvited?

Lin Youan waved his hands tiredly, looked at his second brother who stayed in the hall to entertain the guests and looked uneasy, and quickly put a smile back on his lips.

"Second brother, you've worked hard. But did it delay your study? Otherwise, you can go back first and I will take care of you here."

He knew his second brother's academic level, and thought that studying in a school in the capital must be more difficult than studying in his hometown, and he would need to spend more time and energy to consolidate and review.

"Sixth brother!"

Lin Youwen, who was feeling uneasy being surrounded by these powerful children in his own home, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his younger brother coming back.

"Then you entertain the guests. I'll go back to study first."

After happily handing over the task, he nervously bowed to several people in the hall.

"Please forgive me, gentlemen and ladies, I will take my leave first."

"Brother Lin, you're too polite."

"Walk slowly."

For the sake of Sister Chuchu and the petty-minded Lin Youan, Wu Zhongzhao and Pei Dingyang said goodbye politely. As a lady from a rich family, Zhao Jiuniang nodded very modestly, which was also a greeting.

After Lin Youwen left, there were no outsiders in the room, and these bad friends immediately showed up.

"Xiao Anzi, how come your family doesn't even have a servant? After all, it's such a big house, how can it work without servants to work and serve? Otherwise, I'll send you a few later."

Wu Xiaopang picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took two bites. He thought it tasted good, and kept talking while eating.

"Even food can't stop you from eating. Just worry about your own family. Why are you worrying about mine? You've already broken my heart!"

The kid raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, then sat on the chair and drank while retorting. Wu Xiaopang was always generous and fat, and he would not argue with petty people.

"Isn't it for the good of your family? Look at you, I sent servants to serve you, but you're not happy? Pei Dingyang, please be fair. Is it because Lin Youan is too narrow-minded this time?"

"Ah."

Ye Xiaoer, who was cold and taciturn, had become more cautious in his words and deeds since he took the position of the Prince of Ding. His tongue, which was already rare, became even more precious now, and he would not speak if he could.

But today I am very honored. After all, we are friends for life and death, and our friendship is different from that of others.

"Gou Sheng really has good intentions. It is inevitable for wealthy families to have slaves and attendants. It is not just for the sake of having someone to serve them, but more often it is a symbol of status and face."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Zhongzhao refused to do it!

"Ye Xiaoer, if you dare to call me Gousheng again, I will get angry!"

This down-to-earth nickname was forced upon him because he had lost many older brothers and sisters.

From childhood to adulthood, every time others heard his father call him like that, they would laugh so hard that their whole body would shake. Wu Xiaopang's heart breaks every time he thinks of it!

Finally he grew up, and after strong protests, his family gradually stopped calling him that. But now these bad friends often bring up this name to tease him!

After all, Wu Zongzhao would be the future Duke of Wu. How could he have such a cheap name attached to him? If the news got out, would he be able to gain a foothold in the court when he grew up?

Wu Xiaopang's anger was obvious, and several guys in the room were laughing unkindly. Zhao Jiuniang was wiping Xiao Kankan's mouth while trying to smooth things over.

"Pang Wu is right. It's not kind of you to call him that, Ye Xiaoer. We will never call him that again in the future. Don't worry, Wu Zhongzhao."

Pei Dingyang rarely smiled like a child, nodded his head several times, and promised again and again that he would never do it again. Only then did Wu Gousheng's anger subside.

Lin Youan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. Having a few good friends around him made him feel a little more relaxed.

"Don't worry about it. My family doesn't hire servants not because we can't afford them. It's because the elders in my family were used to working hard in their hometown. They are a little uncomfortable coming to the capital. They always have to do something to feel at ease.

Anyway, my family is not that big, and if the elders want to take care of me personally, then let them do it for now. If there is a need in the future, we can buy it later, it is not a big deal. "

He raised his eyebrows with a smile, met Pei Dingyang's eyes, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"My family is small and we haven't produced any officials, so why should I bother with the pomp and ceremony?

Unlike you, the dignified Prince Ding, who is so unrefined to come here with yourself. Be careful of someone's evil hands again, or we will need to pry you away from the human traffickers one day!"

The words were not nice, but the intention was good.

Pei Dingyang smiled appreciatively.

"I will be more careful. No matter what, I am the prince of Ding, who was given to me by the emperor. No matter how unwilling the Zheng family is, they will never dare to take action in public."

"You are also hard to guard against in secret!"

Zhao Jiuniang frowned in disapproval. She always knew more about the secret tricks in the inner chamber than these men.

"In terms of status, Princess Ding is indeed superior to Concubine Zheng, but I am afraid that Prince Ding will be partial to her. I seem to have heard that your half-brother is extremely favored by Prince Ding? You should be more careful."

Some things cannot be said too bluntly, otherwise it will go beyond the line of being friends. A reminder to stop at the right time will be understood by those who should understand.

Zhao Jiuniang, who was educated as a daughter of an aristocratic family, would never tell you whether your father would favor a concubine over the legitimate wife and find a way to deal with you. Although, judging by the behavior of the unclear-minded Prince Ding over the years, he might really be able to do it.

"I know, I'll be careful."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little unpleasant, Zhao Bogao abruptly changed the subject.

"Mr. Lin, your mother doesn't seem to be at home?"

"Correct."

Lin Youan explained with a smile.

"I heard from the elders last night that they seemed to be going to the manor to take a look today."

"Yes, they all went without me!"

After understanding what her brother said, Lin Xianxian, who had been squatting obediently on the side eating cakes, puffed her mouth in anger.

She definitely didn't say that she overslept that morning, so she was carried to her eldest sister-in-law's room to keep company with that silly little kid Lin Dabao. She just knew that her sisters went out to play, but she didn't go, and she was unhappy!
