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

Early in the morning, Lu Zhan had just finished practicing calligraphy and was about to go and pay his respects to Xiao Yunxi after washing up.

Then I heard the maid come to report that Master Ze and Miss Yuan had arrived.

He frowned and thought to himself: What are they here for?

"Brother, be safe."

Lu Ze and Lu Yuan greeted him politely, which surprised Lu Zhan.

He pursed his lips and asked, "What are you doing?"

Seeing that Lu Ze lowered his head and did not reply, Lu Yuan had no choice but to step forward and grab Lu Zhan's sleeve: "Brother, my brother and I are here to pay our respects to mother. Let's go together."

Lu Zhan pulled out his sleeves coldly and glanced at the two of them.

"Then let's go quickly."

Lu Ze and Lu Yuan looked at each other and followed him out the door.

Xiao Yunxi raised her eyebrows when she saw the brother and sister behind Lu Zhan. Is the sun rising from the west?

"Have Brother Ze and Sister Yuan had their breakfast?"

"Replying to mother, not yet."

Lu Yuan's stomach also happened to make a "gurgling" sound.

Seeing them shyly lowering their heads, she smiled.

"Xia He, go prepare two more sets of bowls and chopsticks."

"Yes."

Xiao Yunxi took the three children to the dining room and had breakfast quietly.

After dinner, Xiao Yunxi asked Lu Ze, "What are you learning these days?"

"Mother, Mr. Hu is teaching the Hundred Family Names."

"Mother, Madam Wei has also helped me finish studying the "Rules for Women"."

Lu Yuan looked at Lu Zhan flatteringly, "Brother is more diligent and intelligent than us, so he should learn faster."

Lu Zhan smiled and said, "It's indeed faster than Ze Ge'er."

He looked at Lu Ze and said, "I heard that Mr. Hu is very strict and often slaps people's hands. If you don't understand anything in the course, feel free to ask me."

"I'll teach you privately, so you don't have to worry about him testing you in class, and you won't get beaten."

"really?"

Lu Ze didn't expect Lu Zhan to offer to help him, and he was really excited for a moment.

Lu Zhan patted his shoulder sincerely, "Mother said that fathers and sons fight together in battle, and brothers fight together to fight tigers."

"Since the day we were adopted, we are real brothers. As an older brother, of course I have to help my younger brother."

"After dinner every day, I read books and practice calligraphy by myself. You can come over at that time."

Lu Yuan watched from the side, looking a little lonely.

"What happened to Sister Yuan?"

Lu Yuan looked up at Xiao Yunxi and said softly, "Mother, grandmother and Wei Mama all said that 'a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent'. They only let me study the "Female Rules" and "Female Rules". It's enough for me to learn a few words and not be a blind man."

Xiao Yunxi smiled faintly.

"When I was young, I lived in a farm family in the countryside. They would laugh happily for buying a piece of pork, and the girls would blush for receiving a box of cheap rouge. Their happiness was simple, but it came from the heart. I had never seen it in the palace or in the Ningguo Mansion."

“But I don’t like that kind of life.”

"I can't stand having to get up before dawn to do farm work and handicrafts, and go to bed after dark, just to save a few coppers for lamp oil."

"If you had stayed in the countryside, Brother Ze could have been a farmer, and Sister Yuan probably wouldn't have even had to learn the Women's Rules and would have married a long time ago."

"But you are now the young masters and young ladies of the Zhennan Palace. You don't have to work hard for a living, with clothes and food provided for you, and servants around you."

"Birth determines life, but knowledge determines destiny."

"Born in a noble family, it may be difficult and hard to learn to read and write and practice martial arts, but you will also enjoy wealth and splendor that ordinary people cannot imagine."

"Besides, the purpose of studying is to make oneself wise and sensible, and there should be no distinction between men and women."

"I think 'women should not be inferior to men, and beauties can also be passed down through the ages'."

Lu Yuan nodded, not quite understanding.

Lu Ze pursed his lips tightly. He seemed to understand why his great-grandmother and father respected his mother so much.

He pulled Lu Yuan to salute Xiao Yunxi, "Thank you for your teachings, mother."

Xiao Yunxi smiled distantly, "Go ahead."

"My son (daughter) is leaving."

My stepmother, who is knowledgeable and outstanding, is much more attractive than Lin Wan'er's biological mother.

If they get closer to me, will Lin Wan'er vomit blood?

If they knew in the future that they were pushed into hell by me, would they also vomit blood?

I vomited blood several times in my previous life, so in this life I have to drain the blood of you and your three children bit by bit!

Xiao Yunxi turned around, looked at Lu Zhan who seemed to be thinking about something, and asked with a smile: "Are you wondering why I told them this?"

Lu Zhan shook his head. "My son trusts his mother and doesn't need to know this."

"Oh?" Xiao Yunxi became even more curious, "Then why did Zhan'er take the initiative to show his goodwill to Lu Ze?"

Lu Zhan lowered his head and whispered back: "My second uncle said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. You must know how to play the pig and eat the tiger..."

Xiao Yunxi twitched her lips. Second brother is really good at teaching.

Seeing that his mother was not angry, Lu Zhan continued, "My son will not actively harm them, but he will not be used as a knife by them anymore."

"My son will not disturb his mother anymore and will go back to study."

As soon as he left, Xiao Yunxi couldn't help laughing and said to Xia He and Chun Xiao beside her, "Will he look more and more like my second brother as he grows up?"

Chun Xiao said, "That would be great. Our second young master is a well-known handsome man in Dali."

Xia He also nodded, "Then the ancestral tombs of the Zhennan Palace must be smoking."

For a moment, Feiyu Pavilion was filled with laughter.

Over the next month, Lu Ze and Lu Yuan came to Feiyu Pavilion to pay their respects on time every day.

If they were reluctant at first, now they are more sincere.

Because Xiao Yunxi is not only beautiful and gentle, but also wise and intelligent. She often teaches them the principles of how to behave in the world inadvertently, making them want to get close to her.

During this period, Feiyu Pavilion was as lively as Canliu Garden was deserted.

After recuperation, Lin Wan'er was able to get up and walk again.

It was a sunny day, and she went to the yard with Liu'er's help to bask in the sun.

"Master Ze and Miss Yuan now go to Feiyu Pavilion every day, and their relationship with the princess is getting closer and closer."

"It's all because of the princess' kindness that she is willing to teach them with all her heart, regardless of past grudges. Let's not talk about Master Ze, let's talk about Miss Yuan, she is becoming more and more like a lady from a noble family, and her every word and action has the shadow of our princess."

"How wonderful! Although they are not biological children, they have been together for a long time and their feelings have naturally deepened. Our princess is also the best stepmother. Master Ze and Miss Yuan should have been like this a long time ago."

Lin Wan'er listened to the conversation of the grandmothers outside the yard with an expressionless face.

After a while, she asked Liu'er softly, "Haven't Ze'er and Yuan'er come here once in these days?"

Liu Er comforted him, "Maybe he's busy studying."

Lin Wan'er's smile was a little forced, and her tone was a little hoarse, "Is it that they can't come, or they don't want to come?"

Liu'er was choked and speechless.

Lin Wan'er looked into the distance with her shoulders drooped and her eyes dull. Her eyes were so empty that they revealed her fatigue and weakness.

She had never hated herself as much as she did now. Thinking of Lu Jingting's ruthlessness and the children's estrangement, all the strength in her body seemed to be drained.

After a moment, Lin Wan'er slowly stood up, her face calm, her expression indifferent, her eyes full of cold resentment, and she walked forward step by step with difficulty.

Liu Er looked at Lin Wan Er like this, and a chill surged in her heart...
