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

Hongyu and Cuiwei came to pay their respects to Xiao Yunxi. After Lu Zhan bowed, he stood directly behind Xiao Yunxi.

After Hongyu sat down, she said directly to Xiao Yunxi, "Princess, last night Master Ze and Miss Yuan blocked the prince in the front yard and begged him to go see Lin Wan'er."

"The prince had no choice but to go to Shou'an Hall, but Nanny Li did not let him see Lin Wan'er."

Hongyu was happy when she thought that Lin Wan'er's plan had failed.

Although Cuiwei didn't hate Lin Wan'er as much as Hongyu, she was always happy when her enemy failed.

Xiao Yunxi didn't want to discourage them because she knew that last night Lu Jingting not only climbed over the wall to have a secret meeting with Lin Wan'er, but also agreed to take her as his concubine.

"Okay, you all go back first. I'll find you when I'm free."

"I'll take my leave."

Hongyu left with a smile on her face. If she wasn't afraid that the princess would be angry, she really wanted to run to the gate of Canliu Courtyard and have a few more words with the old women to ensure that Lin Wan'er would be successful.

They were both slaves before, so why was she the prince's treasure and she was just grass on the ground?

Things have changed, and now she is the legitimate concubine of the prince, while she, a "widow", can only be a mistress who cannot be seen in public!

Lu Zhan looked at Xiao Yunxi worriedly, "Mother..."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yunxi turned around, "Why are you looking at me with such pity on your face?"

"Three women make a scene. There will be some excitement in the mansion from now on."

"You will stay with me at the welcoming banquet later and watch carefully. First, you will leave a good impression on the Dong family, and second, you will see the methods of the women in the backyard."

"From now on, you will be the master of the house, and you won't be fooled by your own wives and concubines!"

Lu Zhan's face flushed, "My son will never be like his father."

Xiao Yunxi shook her head in amusement and didn't take it to heart.

She ordered Chunxiao to help Lu Zhan change into new clothes and wash him up, and she also changed her clothes with the help of Xia He.

Half an hour later, someone from Shou'an Hall came to invite them, saying that the banquet was about to begin.

The mother and son walked towards Shou'an Hall, talking and laughing, and halfway met Lu Jingting who had returned from outside.

"Father."

Lu Zhan was the first to see him and bowed to greet him.

Hongyu also hurriedly greeted him.

When Xiao Yunxi saw Lu Jingting, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and she called out indifferently, "Prince."

The purple wide-sleeved fairy dress made Xiao Yunxi look even more gorgeous and dignified. Lu Jingting's eyes were deep and his lips were slightly raised, "The princess looks very good."

Xiao Yunxi snorted coldly, "I eat well and sleep well, and my son is doing well, so naturally I look good."

Lu Jingting looked at his eldest son standing beside him. He looked like a young master from an aristocratic family. He was indeed very good. "The child you raise is naturally good."

Xiao Yunxi was too lazy to pay attention to him, "Prince, the banquet is about to begin. If you don't leave now, it will be too late."

Lu Jingting didn't think Xiao Yunxi was rude, instead he found her cute.

He curled his lips slightly, nodded, and strode forward, "Let's go together."

When they arrived at Shou'an Hall, they greeted each other and then took their seats.

Madam Dong looked at Lu Zhan and said to Xiao Yunxi with admiration, "Children raised by county governors are good. I heard that even Grand Tutor Xiao praised them highly."

The old lady smiled proudly, "Yes, this child is studious and motivated. He goes to the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion to study every day, rain or shine."

Lu Guifang glanced at Xiao Yunxi and Lu Jingting, and said jokingly with a smile: "Brother and the princess are really a perfect match. Even their adopted son is so outstanding. If it was your own biological son, how outstanding would he be?"

Ruan also nodded in agreement, "Sister Fang is right. I hope they can have a son or daughter soon to bring honor to the family."

Lu Jingting's heart moved slightly. If he was Xiao Yunxi's son, he would be outstanding in both appearance and intelligence. With the background of Ningguo Mansion, his future would be limitless.

When he thought about agreeing to let Lin Wan'er enter the mansion as a concubine last night, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

He looked at Xiao Yunxi's cold expression and suddenly felt his crotch tighten. He was afraid that he would be kicked more than once.

"Don't you have a son and a daughter?" Lu Guifang asked suddenly, "Why didn't they come with you?"

"Could it be that the princess is partial to Zhan'er and doesn't like Ze'er and Yuan'er, so she is unwilling to bring them here to meet the guests?"

She looked at Xiao Yunxi in disappointment and said, "As a parent, you should treat everyone equally."

Lu Jingting just remembered at this moment that Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er didn't come, but he didn't dare to question Xiao Yunxi. Instead, he explained to Lu Guifang, "They should be on their way. After all, they are young and walk slowly."

Lu Guifang glared at her brother, "Brother Zhan is only one year older than them!"

"The princess can bring Zhan'er with her, so why can't she wait for Ze'er and Yuan'er?"

"Eldest sister, you don't know that Zhan'er has been visiting me every morning and evening without interruption, so he was naturally brought along. Ze'er and Yuan'er have never greeted me since they came to the mansion. How can you wait?"

Xiao Yunxi's words made Old Madam Dong frown. She had never seen a child who did not visit his stepmother morning and evening.

Lu Jingting also frowned. These two kids really went too far.

Lu Guifang still refused to give in. Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er were Jingting's biological children!

"They are still young, so it is inevitable that they will neglect some rules. As their stepmother, you still have to guide them well. How can you just let them go?"

Xiao Yunxi smiled coldly, "Eldest sister is right, Xia He, go and fetch Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er."

Xia He turned around and left.

When the old lady saw Xiao Yunxi instructing Xia He to pick someone up, she shuddered in her heart, because that girl was very cunning.

But since all the Dong family members were there, the old lady couldn't stop them.

Xia He came back soon and replied in the direction of Lu Guifang with an expressionless face: "Princess, I didn't meet Master Ze and Miss Yuan along the way just now. Instead, I met a sneaky servant at the gate of Shou'an Hall. I interrogated him and he said that Master Ze asked him to keep watch here, while Master Ze and Miss Yuan went to the courtyard of the cousin of the Lin family in the northwest corner."

The old lady and Lu Jingting both felt nervous and thought that something bad was going to happen.

"Interrogation? How can a little maid like you interrogate that boy?"

Lu Guifang laughed out loud. Xiao Yunxi's maid was really interesting.

"When I asked him, he not only refused to answer, but also tried to escape, so I broke one of his arms."

Lu Guifang suspected that she had misheard, and then she heard Xiao Yunxi whispered: "Since this boy is so unruly, give him ten strokes of the cane and send him to the stable to feed the horses."

Lu Guifang took a deep breath and continued to ask unwillingly: "Who is the cousin of the Lin family? Why have I never heard of her?"

"She is the prince's distant cousin, the mother of Ze'er and Yuan'er. My mother-in-law and the prince couldn't bear to see her living alone in the countryside, so they brought her to the mansion to be raised. Don't you recognize your cousin?"

After hearing what Xiao Yunxi said, Lu Guifang looked at the old lady in disbelief, then looked at Lu Jingting and cursed inwardly: Stupid!
