stepson

Aunt Liu got the news that Su Zhaoxue was back, so she took her son Su Shiliang to Luomeixuan. Originally, her daughter Su Wanxin was also going.Aunt Liu knew that Su Wanxin and Su Zhaoxue had a bad relationship.When he left the mansion, he slapped Su Zhaoxue because of Su Wanxin.If Su Wanxin went, wouldn't she remind Su Zhaoxue that she hit him before?In order to be on the safe side, Aunt Liu didn't let Su Wanxin go, she let Su Shiliang go because Su Zhaoxue had always been kind to him.

But Luomeixuan was very lively at this time. The housekeeper Liu Shan led ten handsome servants and ten enchanting maids to send to Su Zhaoxue, saying: "Master Hou knows Mr. Zhaoxue, and there are not many nice people around him." Servant, let me pick out a good one for Mr. Zhaoxue and bring it to you."

Su Zhaoxue glanced around at these servants, thinking that he would leave early anyway, and he didn't bother to argue with Liu Shan over this matter, he said, "Butler Liu will thank the Marquis for me."

Liu Shan said a few words politely, gave a thousand blows and withdrew.Ming Bao felt uncomfortable when he saw the servants sent here. Relying on the young master's love for him, he put one hand on his waist and pointed at them, pretending to be majestic, "You are now my young master's people, so you have to work hard!" Don't be lazy, or you will be kicked out."

These twenty servants should respectfully claim that since they entered the house, they all lowered their heads, did not glance around secretly, did not whisper to each other, and their expressions were all carved out of the same mold, obviously well-trained , is different from those servants in the mansion who have become idiots, and I don't know where Su Shunyu found him.

"Okay, you guys go down, don't appear in front of my son if you have nothing to do, he doesn't like a group of people around him." Ming Bao waved them out.After everyone had gone out, Ming Bao ran to Su Zhaoxue's side and said with a smile, "Young Master, am I majestic? Do you have the style of Liu Shan's housekeeper?"

"Why not." Su Zhaoxue patted Ming Bao's head with a smile, and he said, "Ming Bao, you can go to the bag I brought back and get some broken silver in a while, and go play dice with the boy you usually make friends with. , By the way, ask the young master if you know the details of these people sent today, remember not to be too deliberate."

Ming Bao rolled his eyes and asked, "Is there something wrong with these people?"

"Don't you think these people are too well-behaved? Are they far different from the servants in the mansion who only hide from traitors, gossip behind their backs and speak ill of their master?" Su Zhaoxue grew up in Weiyuanhou's mansion since she was a child. He is clear about the virtues of servants in the mansion.In the past, it was always strange to have received a lot of stares from the servants who looked down on people with dog eyes, but today they suddenly became respectful to him.

"Well, my lord, I'll be there in a while." Ming Bao immediately patted his chest to reassure, "I have a good time with Zhang Nanny's grandson in the madam's yard, so I'll ask him when the time comes."

Su Zhaoxue smiled and asked him to inquire, and stood at the door watching Ming Bao go out. As soon as Ming Bao left, she saw Aunt Liu and Su Shiliang coming.

"Zhaoxue, where have you been in the past six months?" Aunt Liu brought Su Shiliang and two maids into the house, and grabbed his hand with an intimate and gentle expression.She looked at Su Zhaoxue carefully, and said, "Well, I haven't grown taller in half a year, and I'm even more beautiful than before."

pretty?This is not a good word, Su Zhaoxue was unhappy, he is a man and not a woman, doesn't Aunt Liu know?He withdrew his hand without showing any signs and asked: "Auntie and brother Shiliang, please sit down, I will ask the servants to show tea to Auntie."

"No. Shiliang, I haven't seen you for half a year, and I've been thinking about seeing my brother. I didn't hear that you went back to the mansion today, and you didn't even go to the ethnology study, so you followed your mother to see your brother." Aunt Liu pushed Pushing Su Shiliang beside him, he nuzzled: "Shiliang, don't you miss your brother? Hurry up and go."

Su Shiliang frowned and glanced at Aunt Liu, walked up to Su Zhaoxue, bowed and saluted, and accused, "Where has my brother been for the past six months? Father asked mother to invite you back in person. It's fine if brother refuses to come back." , without explaining to mother, you disappeared for half a year without saying a word, you are really easy for mother to find. Brother is an adult, how can you act so rashly?"

Su Zhaoxue was already upset by Aunt Liu's beautiful words, and she was even more upset when Su Shiliang, a brat, pretended to be a lesson to me.Without raising his eyelids, he pointed to the door and said, "Your brother should go to school, lest I miss my studies because of my brother who acts rashly, it's not good."

Su Shiliang didn't know if he really heard Su Zhaoxue's sarcasm and got angry, or he just took Su Zhaoxue's words seriously and was about to go out.Seeing this, Aunt Liu grabbed him and refused to let him go.

Aunt Liu cast a reproachful glance at Su Shiliang, and explained lightly: "Zhaoxue, don't be angry with Shiliang, he is just too worried about you, so his tone is a bit aggressive. By the way, where have you been for the past six months?"

"I didn't go anywhere, but I met Shang Xuanlie, the son of King Bei'an, who had a good talk with him. He just happened to have something to go back to the northwest. My son wanted to visit the northwest. He said that he had never left the capital since he was so old. The opportunity was too rare. His Royal Highness is in a hurry and I followed, and left before I could say a word to my aunt. Auntie won't blame her son, will she?"

Is this bringing the prince of Bei'an to suppress me?Aunt Liu sneered in her heart, but she didn't show any difference on her face: "How could it be, your child went to the Northwest suddenly and silently, and there was no news for half a year. Mother is very worried. You, you are still too old." I'm too young, and I'm too inconsiderate. Now that Zhaoxue is back, let's go back to Houfu. The servants you brought back from Bei'an Palace have already been sent back. No matter what, you are ours. People in the waiting mansion, how can they use the servants of Bei'an Wangfu? No, when the waiting master heard about this, he sent twenty servants to serve you."

When Su Zhaoxue heard this, she was furious, didn't she stretch her hand too far?When he left the palace today, Shang Xuanlie was worried that he would be bullied when he came back, so he specially called a team of guards to come back with him.He didn't expect to be sent away in a blink of an eye. He said angrily: "Why didn't Auntie tell her son to make the decision? Anyway, they are from Bei'an Palace. The son kindly asked them to send his son back. I don't know why Shizi is angry after being sent away by my aunt like this."

Aunt Liu took a deep breath, ignored his words, turned her head and patted Su Shiliang's hand, and said, "Good boy, go to the ethnology school, mother has a few words to say to your brother."

Su Shiliang didn't just leave, he stared at Su Zhaoxue angrily and said, "What do you mean by brother? Mother just sent a few servants away for you and you scolded me like this. Are you still in your eyes?" Is there a mother, and is there a word of filial piety? You really let my brother down."

Su Zhaoxue ignored Su Shiliang and pointed at the door to let him leave.Su Shiliang turned pale with anger, and screamed: "This is my home, if you want to leave, you have to go."

Aunt Liu was so angry that she stepped forward and covered Su Shiliang's mouth: "What nonsense are you talking about? He is your brother, how could you let him go?" Her heart was pounding, if Su Zhaoxue ran away in anger, she would not be able to finish the job. With the confession, wouldn't Shiliang's position as the son of the world be lost?Thinking of this, Aunt Liu was so angry that she patted Su Shiliang on the back a few times.

Su Shiliang stood up for Aunt Liu, but he didn't get a word of support from her. Instead, he was hit on the back a few times. The boy's glass heart was shattered on the ground. He was so angry that he pushed Aunt Liu away and ran away. Zhaoxue rolled her eyes.

"Shiliang..." Seeing her son getting angry, Aunt Liu felt very uncomfortable, and her tone became harsh towards Su Zhaoxue: "Zhaoxue, he is your younger brother, how could you treat him like this?"

It's great, finally I don't have to quarrel with them anymore, Su Zhaoxue's eyes are dark when she sees them now.Seeing that Aunt Liu patted Su Shiliang lightly a few times, she looked like a loving mother who was distressed. She immediately stood up and said with a sneer, "Why is Auntie beating my brother? He didn't say anything wrong. Who Tell me that I am not the son of Lord Hou. Auntie should go after Shiliang, otherwise, if she loses her heart because of such a trivial matter, the loss outweighs the gain."

"Zhaoxue, there are a few words, mother still wants to say. These words are also for your own good. Mother is very happy to know that you have a good relationship with the prince of Bei'an. It's just that the palace of Bei'an has always been a thorn in the side of His Majesty. Look at it Look, which family in the capital will go to and from Bei'an Prince's Mansion? On weekdays, I would like to walk around him. Although my mother is in the deep house, I have heard that even Princess Yilian, the future princess of Bei'an King, is the emperor's daughter. The daughters in Beijing don't play with her, so you have to think about it too. Don't get too close to Prince Bei'an, it won't benefit you or the Houfu at all." Aunt Liu was thinking of him Hearing this, Su Zhaoxue was extremely disgusted, what's wrong with Shang Xuanlie?Although King Bei'an was often reprimanded by the emperor, which time was it not just talking?When did you see the emperor take it seriously?The ministers at the court have changed several times, and the Bei'an Palace has not collapsed. Didn't anyone see that the emperor of the Bei'an Palace can't move at all?

"My son has his own plans, so I don't need my aunt to care about her. In the past, my aunt didn't care much about her son. My son is used to it. From now on, my aunt will treat her like before." Su Zhaoxue's cold words made Aunt Liu choke She was speechless for a long while, she never expected that Su Zhaoxue would hold grudges like this.He always thinks that he is his mother, what should he do, because of the filial piety in this world, he dare not not listen to his own words, it seems that he has miscalculated.

"Is Zhaoxue angry with your mother?" Aunt Liu immediately changed her strategy, her eyes were filled with tears that could not be dropped, she was so pitiful, and her tone changed from the previous strong and cold, softly said: "Are you A piece of meat that fell from my mother's body, how can my mother not feel heartbroken. You also know that you are not the father's son, and my mother can't treat you too well, because she is afraid that the waiter will feel uncomfortable and that the wife will take advantage of the opportunity. The lady is kind Jealousy, my mother has always been loved by the Lord Hou. Madam has nothing to do with her, and she can make you suffer if she picks a fault at random. For you, my mother suppressed my son's indifference to you. You can't help but understand your mother's painstaking efforts. If you don't act like this, how can Zhaoxue grow up in the Houfu safely?"

Aunt Liu was sobbing as she spoke, she took out her handkerchief to wipe away her tears, the makeup on her face was completely bare.Seeing Su Zhaoxue's surprised look, he was secretly proud that Su Zimo was the one who liked her the most back then.She shed a few tears at will, Su Zimo will give whatever she wants!

Seeing Aunt Liu's heartbroken look, Su Zhaoxue was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a while.What happened to his incomparably cold Aunt Liu who looked at him as if she saw the air?It looks like a white lotus, and it is said that the women in the back house are actresses, and now he has learned a lot.

"Zhaoxue, you didn't forgive mother?" Aunt Liu stepped forward and took his hand and said: "My son has suffered for more than ten years, and now the Lord Hou is kind, thinking that you are so old, let you leave Hou's mansion is not a problem either. Because mother asked you to leave, Master Hou scolded mother when he found out, saying that although you are not his own son, but after all, he watched you grow up, how can he just let you go? What? Mother just wanted to bring you back. No matter what, you still have to call him father. The marquis has an extraordinary status in the court, so you have to listen to him and don’t make him angry. Give mother a chance, too. Make up for the suffering you have suffered all these years, okay?"

"Okay." Su Zhaoxue said with difficulty.

It has to be said that Aunt Liu lowered her attitude, which prevented Su Zhaoxue from being tough. He wanted to leave the Hou Mansion just because Su Shiliang asked him to leave.But with Aunt Liu like this, he couldn't go away in anger anymore, no matter how wrong Aunt Liu was, she was still his mother in this world.

Seeing that he agreed, Aunt Liu showed a relieved smile on her face, took Su Zhaoxue's hand and said a few more words, then hurried away with her maid, presumably to go to find Su Shiliang.

Su Zhaoxue pinched his chin and looked at Aunt Liu's back and thought for a moment. He was sure that Su Shunyu wanted to use him to plan something, otherwise Aunt Liu would not persevere in wanting to keep him.He wanted to stay and see what the hell Su Shunyu was up to.
