stepson

When it was the turn of Su Zhaoxue and Ming Bao to have a vegetarian meeting, it was already around three or four o'clock in the afternoon.After the two had eaten, they put twelve taels of sesame oil money in the merit box and walked down the mountain.

On the way down the mountain, he unexpectedly met Su Shunyu, Marquis of Weiyuan, who was drinking tea with the royal family in the tea house on the mountainside.Ming Bao clamored to go in and rest, and saw them.Now Su Zhaoxue didn't even have a place to hide.

Su Zhaoxue actually didn't want to see Weiyuan Marquis Su Shunyu.This ex-husband's son who could tolerate an aunt grew up in the Hou's mansion, and he is quite broad-minded. Su Zhaoxue has a good impression of him, but that's all.The bullying and humiliation he had suffered since he was a child in Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion made him not like this Marquis.He has only seen this marquis a few times since he was a child, and has never had direct contact with him, and he doesn't want to have any interaction with the people in the Marquis of Weiyuan. Thinking of this, Su Zhaoxue decided to pretend not to know him.

He raised the teacup and took a sip of tea, and when he heard the sound of the teacup falling to the ground, Su Zhaoxue turned his head and looked at Wei Yuanhou and the middle-aged man looking at him in horror.Su Zhaoxue frowned, put down the teacup, and said to Ming Bao: "Okay, let's go back to Su Garden to drink again, let's go back."

"Oh." Ming Bao also noticed the strange gaze of Marquis Weiyuan, trembled, and put down his teacup.

After putting the tea money, Su Zhaoxue led Ming Bao out of the tea shed, her back tensed.The two were still looking at him, and Su Zhaoxue felt uneasy in his heart, unable to explain clearly.It stands to reason that he sold Su Shunyu's son, Su Shihui, and no one knew about it, so why was he a little afraid to face Su Shunyu? Could it be that he had a guilty conscience?

It wasn't until they were far away that Su Zhaoxue let out a sigh of relief. He hated those two people a little, and felt a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

Back in Su Garden, the rare Su Zhaoxue was a little tired, so she went to rest early.The days went on like this day by day, during which he checked from the plane trader that Sima Lingyun traded the body repair fluid again.Thinking of the treatment he might receive for molesting that noble lady, Su Zhaoxue smiled unkindly.After this transaction, Sima Lingyun's trading device was finally upgraded, and he could find someone to trade by himself.

"My lord, there are people coming from the Weiyuan Marquis." Li Fusheng, the steward, entered the backyard and saw Su Zhaoxue practicing sword in a bunt.

When Su Zhaoxue heard this, she stopped the sword in her hand, frowned and asked, "Who's here?"

"It's Liu Shan, the Chief Steward of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion." Li Fusheng secretly glanced at Su Zhaoxue's face, and said softly.

Liu Shan is the confidant of Su Shunyu, Marquis of Weiyuan, who is in charge of the social affairs of Weifu, who welcomes and sends him outside, even Mrs. Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Hou can't easily move him. How could he come here?

Su Zhaoxue took the handkerchief Ming Bao handed over, wiped the sweat off her brow, and said, "Let Steward Liu go to the flower hall first, and I'll be there later."

"Then the little old man will prepare tea for Steward Liu first." Li Fusheng bowed and stepped back.

"Young Master, why do you think Liu Shan came to you?" Ming Bao asked, and then guessed: "Could it be that time when you went to the vegetarian meeting, Lord Hou saw Young Master, and asked Young Master to return to the Hou Mansion?"

"I'm not his own son. Does he need a big butler to invite me back in person? To be courteous for nothing is to rape or steal." Su Zhaoxue sneered.

After changing her robes, Su Zhaoxue took Ming Bao into the flower hall, and watched an old man in his fifties sitting there drinking tea.Liu Shan is thin and thin, with a few strands of goatee beard and narrowed eyes.Seeing him coming, he showed a kind smile.

"Liu Shan pays his respects to the young master." Seeing Su Zhaoxue coming, Liu Shan had a flash of surprise in his eyes, and looked at him without any trace.

"Butler Liu is too polite. It should be the boy who greeted you." Su Zhaoxue didn't miss the surprise in the old man's eyes, he said with a smile. "I don't know why Butler Liu is looking for the boy?"

"Oh, it's like this. The Hou Ye only heard that Mr. Xue moved out of the Hou Mansion a few days ago. The Hou Ye also watched the young master grow up and treats you as his own son. This is not because he is afraid that Mr. Xue will live in this village. I'm not used to it, I want to take you back to live in the Houfu. The Houye has already ordered his servants to tidy up Luomeixuan, and you can move in as soon as the young master returns."

See what this says, dear son?Hmph, he doesn't want to be a father to that sleazy Su Shihui!

Luo Meixuan is of the same standard as Su Shunyu's eldest son, who also lives in Songtao Courtyard where Su Shihui lives. How could Su Shunyu let him live in it?Su Zhaoxue wondered in her heart, just met once in the teahouse on Bailong Mountain, they hadn't talked yet, why did Su Shunyu send his confidants to invite him back?

"Thank you Lord Hou for me. I live here very comfortably, so I don't bother Lord Hou. Housekeeper Liu also knows that, after all, I am not the father and son of Lord Hou. I will inevitably gossip if I live in Hou Mansion."

"If you think it's inappropriate to live in Hou's mansion again, Lord Hou said, you can prepare a house for you in the capital, and you can move in. It's inevitable that living in the countryside is inconvenient." After all, he is a housekeeper and he is very busy on weekdays. , that is, I saw him a few times when I was a child, but I haven't seen him since I grew up.Liu Shan had heard the rumors and gossips from the servants. Before meeting Su Zhaoxue, Liu Shan secretly looked down on him, but after seeing him, he never dared again.

Su Zhaoxue frowned, wondering: "This is not allowed. The Hou Ye has no relatives or reason with me, how can I take over his house? Besides, Aunt Liu never wanted to see me, if she knew that I took over the house of the Hou Ye , I’m afraid it will add disgust, so let’s forget it. Let’s keep this house for my younger brother Su Shiliang.”

Liu Shan was so choked up by his words that he had no relatives and no reason. Although Mr. Xue lived in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, all his food and clothing came from Aunt Liu's dowry.Lord Hou had never looked him in the eye, it would be too abrupt to ask him to go back so suddenly, and he would definitely not want to.Liu Shan lowered his eyelids, thought for a while, and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then I'll take my leave first."

"Please pass on a word to Master Waiting, Xue Xin accepts his kindness. Mingbao, see off the guests."

Ming Bao escorted Liu Shan out of the flower hall, looked at Liu Shan's back, Su Zhaoxue stroked his chin, thinking to himself, why Weiyuan Hou Su Shunyu wanted him to return to the capital?This Steward Liu is obviously flattering, it's not like he can't see it.After ignoring him for 16 years, how could he suddenly care about him?What's the trick here?Did he know that he sold his son Su Shihui?Do you want to cheat yourself back so that you can get revenge?

But this is impossible, he is a majestic marquis, he has no power and power, it is too convenient to deal with him, and he will not make such a big circle.Butler Liu's attitude has something to do with Marquis Weiyuan.Please him, why please him?Su Zhaoxue only felt that this matter was endless, and now she could only see that Wei Yuanhou wanted to return to the capital, and he would not give up until his goal was achieved.

Sure enough, Su Zhaoxue's guess became a reality. Three days later, his mother, Aunt Liu, came to the door in person.
