After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

"Can these two be trusted? Especially the one called Hongyu, who has a seductive look. The people I sent to inquire found out that she entered the merchant's house, and within three months, she was exiled to the farm, and was taken back a year later."

Mu Qingyun was still a little worried, fearing that Xiao Yunxi would bring a wolf into the house.

"One year?"

Xiao Yunxi pondered for a moment. Could it be that Hongyu had given birth to a child?

She blinked, tilted her head and said, "Sister Yun, you probably don't know that our prince loves to help others raise children."

Mu Qingyun looked at Xiao Yunxi speechlessly. What did this mean? Could it be...

She was stunned for a while, then sneered, "This Lu Jingting is really a fool!"

"As for whether it's reliable or not, there's no need to worry about it for now."

"That Cuiwei and her biological brother were abused by their stepmother when they were young, and were sold to human traffickers by their biological father and became slaves. With her beauty, she was able to protect herself from being bullied for so many years, and she was also able to protect her brother. She must have some ability."

In her previous life, Cuiwei was a concubine of a minor official. Her brother was even more amazing. As a slave, he could not take the imperial examinations, but he could join the army. He fought his way out and became the first general in the Dali period who was born a slave.

Afterwards, she and her brother were freed from slavery. After the death of the wife of the first wife, she was promoted to the position of legitimate wife. She never treated the young son and daughter left by the first wife harshly, and was known for her virtue.

It’s a pity that he died of illness when he was less than 25 years old.

"If you really help her brother escape slavery, she will definitely be devoted to you, but it's clear that Hongyu is not a person who will settle down."

Mu Qingyun still looked down on Hongyu.

Xiao Yunxi smiled indifferently and said, "It turns out that Hongyu is the maidservant beside Lu Jingting. She is more precious than the young ladies of ordinary families."

"Two years ago, she relied on Lu Jingting's love to oppose me in every way. The old lady used her as a stick to intimidate me and beat her up and sold her out."

"I asked someone to check. She and our cousin were once the prince's Hongxiu and Tianxiang. They seemed to be as close as sisters, but they were secretly competing for each other."

"She felt that Lin Wan'er was driven to the countryside and Lu Jingting didn't like me, so she had evil thoughts."

"She herself may not have thought that Lu Jingting never cared about her at all, let alone looked for her."

"A woman full of hatred and disappointed in men is a sharp sword."

"Her indenture is in my hand like the hilt of a sword."

"What can she do even if she has a lot on her mind?"

"Besides, I'm afraid she doesn't have much in mind!"

Mu Qingyun thought about it carefully and realized that it was true, so he didn't say anything more.

"Mother, Aunt Yun."

Lu Zhan walked in sweating profusely, his face red.

Xiao Yunxi smiled and said, "Go wash up, change clothes, and prepare for dinner."

"Yes."

A group of people happily ate barbecue, played the flower drum, and played until very late, and then returned to their room to rest with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

The next morning, Xiao Yunxi looked at Lu Zhan who came to pay his respects and said gently, "I sent someone to bring your grandmother here. The doctor said that her chronic illness is suitable for recuperation in hot springs. I asked someone to clean up Tingfeng Garden for your grandmother to live in."

"Just spend the next two days with your grandmother. You don't need to come over to pay your respects."

With tears in his eyes, Lu Zhan lowered his head, but he never dared to respond, let alone turn around and leave.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunxi walked forward and gently touched Lu Zhan's head.

"Go ahead. Mother knows your concerns, but mother believes that you are a good child."

Lu Zhan's heart was slightly warmed, and he choked up and said, "Thank you, mother!"

During the remaining two days, Lu Zhan still visited his grandmother every morning and evening without interruption. He would accompany her in the morning, practice calligraphy and read in the room in the afternoon, have dinner with Xiao Yunxi and Mu Qingyun, and then go to accompany his grandmother again.

On the day of return, Xiao Yunxi wanted Lu Zhan to stay for a few more days, but Lu Zhan shook his head firmly.

He looked into Xiao Yunxi's eyes and said, "You and grandma are my only relatives in this world. Grandma lives in this hot spring villa and has someone to take care of her. I am not worried."

"I am more worried about your days in the palace."

"I'm still young, there's not much I can do, but I will always stand by your side and accompany you."

Xiao Yunxi was somewhat shocked. This child...

Lu Zhan bowed and went out to move things with the servants.

"This kid is thoughtful and honest. He really doesn't treat me as an outsider."

Mu Qingyun felt a pang in his heart when he saw Xiao Yunxi's slightly stunned expression.

"Yunxi, there is still a long way to go. Just hold on and everything will be fine."

Xiao Yunxi came back to her senses, looked at the pain in Mu Qingyun's eyes, and thought about Lu Zhan's thoughtfulness, and smiled from the bottom of her heart, "You are right, Sister Yun, everything will be fine."

The two agreed on the next day to meet and left in separate cars.

At sunset, Xiao Yunxi returned to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.

After resting his feet and drinking a sip of tea, he said to Cuiwei and Hongyu who were standing by his side, "Come with me to pay respects to the old lady."

The two of them nodded obediently and followed Xiao Yunxi respectfully towards Shou'an Hall.

When they arrived at Shou'an Hall, the two of them, at Xiao Yunxi's signal, kowtowed to the old lady and greeted her in a very proper manner.

The old lady ignored them and did not call out to them. Instead, she turned around and discussed the affairs of the mansion with Xiao Yunxi.

The two did not dare to move and continued to kneel with their heads down.

The old lady glanced at them a few times and seeing how well they knew the rules, she couldn't help but admire Xiao Yunxi's good vision.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yunxi took her leave and left with the two of them.

After returning to Feiyu Pavilion, Xiao Yunxi found the two men looking timid and helpless and found it somewhat amusing, "You have passed the old lady's test."

Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She was really afraid that the old lady would ask someone to throw her out again.

Cuiwei seemed much calmer. After all, few wealthy families would want to be a beautiful, well-behaved concubine.

Hongyu bit her lip and spoke hesitantly, "Princess, when I left just now, I saw Lin Wan'er. She was hiding behind the pillar in the corridor and peeking."

"I'm afraid she won't let us servants become the prince's concubines so easily."

Xiao Yunxi put down the teacup and glanced at her coldly, "She used to be the prince's concubine, and now she is the 'guest cousin' of the mansion. What qualifications does she have to take charge of the affairs of the mansion?"

"To tell you the truth, the prince has never summoned her since she entered the palace."

Seeing the two of them looking up at me in surprise.

Xiao Yunxi looked at the two of them, "In terms of beauty, you are both much better than her. In terms of intelligence and scheming, Hongyu you have lost to her, and Cuiwei has not fought with her yet."

Seeing the embarrassment and resentment that flashed across Hongyu's face, Xiao Yunxi smiled knowingly.

"I will give you a legitimate identity, but whether you can gain favor depends on your ability."

"After all, men are lustful and unfaithful."

"Of course, let me give you another piece of advice. If a woman in a mansion loses her heart, it's the same as losing her life!"

"I will follow the instructions of the county lord!"
