Reborn to be a mistress, she went crazy killing the legitimate daughter

Xu was unhappy, and when she saw that Old Madam Bo had been holding Shen Yiran's hand and had never let go, the two of them talked about Shen Yiran's deceased mother. She had no say in the conversation, so she simply found an excuse to go out.

When I walked out of the moon-shaped door of Jingxin Hall, I saw two little heads hiding behind the bamboo, trying to hide themselves.

Xu was immediately upset and scolded, "How can you play outside the old lady's house? Don't you know the rules? Both of you come out now!"

Ji Sicheng could only pull the dodging Ji Siyue out and stand still, with both of their little heads lowered, looking as if they were waiting for their fate.

It turned out that Ji Siyue was in a bad mood because she hadn't seen Shen Yiran for half a day. She lay on Shen Yiran's pillow and refused to get up. Until she heard the news that Shen Yiran had returned, she immediately asked her brother to take her to see her mother.

Ji Sicheng could only ask the maid for information and go all the way to Jingxin Hall.

Although the old lady was strict, she was very kind to the two children, so Ji Sicheng was not afraid and brought his sister along all the way.

Who knew that when they reached the door, Ji Siyue saw Xu cursing, and without thinking much, she pulled Ji Sicheng and hid behind the bamboo.

Who knew it would be discovered.

Xu had never liked these two children. Thinking about what the old lady had just said, implying that she would be childless, she became even more angry and slapped the two children a few times.

Ji Siyue immediately started to sob. Ji Sicheng stopped her sister and said, "Madam, I was naughty and played with my sister. If you want to punish someone, punish me alone."

Xu was even more furious when she heard this. She snorted and said, "I think you are the most cunning sister. A girl should pay more attention to rules from a young age. I punish you for your own good!"

After saying this, his face darkened and he shouted, "Both of you go kneel on the bluestone in the hall and don't get up for an hour!"

The bluestone of the flower hall is by the lake, without any shelter. It is exposed to the sun and rain, and the bluestone is hard, so kneeling on it is very painful.

"Don't be angry, sister-in-law. I was just joking with them. I said that if I caught them today, we would recite the Three Character Classic together. So they avoided me. I didn't mean to offend you."

Ji Siyue immediately ran out from behind her brother and threw herself into Shen Yiran's arms.

Just as Xu was about to make some sarcastic remark, she saw the old lady with a dragon-headed cane standing at the doorstep and watching her.

I could only say with a straight face: "Sister, you should also see that this is in front of the old lady's house. How can you hide and play around casually? I didn't see it. If I saw it and didn't discipline him, do we still need to follow the rules of our mansion?"

Shen Yiran knew that the old lady would not blame the children for such a small matter, so he took the blame from Xu: "Sister-in-law is right, it is my fault for not disciplining them strictly. I will take them back to learn the rules now."

As he spoke, he pulled Ji Siyue and went over to hold the hand of Ji Sicheng, who was still standing alone timidly, and turned around to salute the old lady: "Hurry up and apologize to the old lady."

When the two children heard this, they immediately knelt down and apologized, very politely.

The old lady called out kindly, "Hurry up and be careful of the stones on the ground. Xu, the children are still young, and it will make the house more lively if they make some noise. You will understand when you take care of the children yourself. You all go now."

Xu returned to the Jianjia Pavilion angrily and sat down to sulk. Just then, Bo Jinxiu came in with a bird cage in his hand and walked past her as if he didn't see Xu sitting there.

He pulled open the thin bamboo curtain, hung the bird cage on the moon-shaped window, and played with it with a straw in his hand.

"I am actually a dead man, and you can't even see me sitting here!"

Bo Jinxiu heard this and knew that Xu was angry again. He came over and sat down to pour her a cup of tea. "Why are you so angry all day?"

Xu sneered, took the teacup and put it heavily on the table.

"Why am I angry? I'm angry that our first wife is about to be trampled under the feet of the third wife, and you still only know how to be a rich and idle person!"

Bo Jinxiu looked nonchalant: "You are just talking nonsense. How can this family be inferior to our eldest house? Do you want me to risk my life to win face for the Marquis's Mansion like my third brother?"

Xu's ears were callused from hearing Bo Jinxiu's comments like this.

Knowing that Bo Jinxiu was only interested in enjoying himself and having enough food, drink and fun in his life, she secretly made up her mind to take control of the family business in her own hands.

Who knew that Shen Yiran from the third wife was so difficult to deal with. She took over the power of the family just three days after marrying into the mansion. From now on, the first wife will have even less presence!

"I've always told you that the old lady favors my third brother, but you never believed it. Now look, the power to run the family has been taken away from you. You should be more careful in the future, and there's no need for me to be so angry!"

Xu's family was not well-off, and marrying into a marquis's mansion was considered high-class marriage, so she did not dare to blame Bo Jinxiu too much, and could only persuade him.

When Bo Jinxiu heard this, his mind began to turn. However, when he thought of Shen Yiran's unparalleled beauty and saw how she felt about him, he began to have another consideration.

Even if Shen Yiran is the head of the family, as long as he holds her heart in his hands, she has no choice but to support and take care of him.

Although Bo Jinxiu had nothing to do, he was extremely confident. Even before anything was decided, he was already certain that this was how things would turn out.

Facing Xu's stinky face, he couldn't stand it anymore, stretched, stood up and said, "In this case, I'll go to the old lady to test the waters and see if I can help you keep the power of the head of the family."

When Xu heard this, she felt relieved and delighted. She walked forward, took Bo Jinxiu's hand, and gave him some instructions.

In fact, Bo Jinxiu went over to greet them and had a few words with them, but he didn't even mention this matter. He turned around and slipped out through the back door to go to the teahouse to listen to a story.

Ren Dong came back and reported: "Madam, the master went out through the back door."

Xu snorted coldly and said with a sullen face, "I knew that a dog will always eat shit. If I rely on him, I'm afraid I can only wait for my family property to be divided up!"

After hearing this, Honeysuckle dared not say anything.

Xu was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes and asked, "Where are those two little bastards?"

Ren Dong replied, "He must be in the Third Madam's room, learning the Three Character Classic!"

It was time for the two children to start their education, especially Ji Sicheng, as the time had passed. However, Bo Jinnian was busy with work and had always planned this way, and had no time to find a good teacher, so things were delayed.

Xu accepted Bo Jinnian's request, but never took any action. She just made excuses that she had not found a good husband, and it has been delayed until now.

It was only when Shen Yiran spent time with the children on a daily basis that he realized that the two children could not read or write. He chatted with the maids Liangxia and Nuandong in the room and found out the reason, and then took the initiative to take charge of this matter.

Ji Sicheng has always longed for books. When he was free on weekdays, he always saw Bo Jinnian reading books. He was very excited to be able to study at this moment, but he did not show it. He was just very serious and hardworking.

Shen Yiran saw it but did not point it out. He just smiled in his heart and taught more patiently.

The sound of reading was very pleasant to the ears. Shen Yiran felt comfortable and peaceful, forgetting the scars in his heart.
