Houfu Key Class

Zong Wenxiu said: "The results of the monthly exam will be released the day after tomorrow. Do you want me to let my brother rest tomorrow?"

"He got the monthly silver. I'm afraid he won't come to the study again. He will just wait for the results of the monthly exam the day after tomorrow." Xu Wan asked again, "How did you do in the exam? Did it go well?"

Zong Wenxiu replied: "It's not bad, it shouldn't be too different."

Xu Wan nodded: "It's the first time you take an exam. No matter how many tests you take, it's a starting point. You studied so many years later than them. It's normal for there to be a gap. Otherwise, they would be stimulated to tears."

Zong Wenxiu was amused by her and responded: "I know, thank you, madam."

Xu Wan always felt that this title was a bit foreign, not like a family, but when she remembered Zong Zhao, the eldest child, Zong Wenxiu called her not aunt, but uncle.

This title makes her feel ten years older, so let's forget it...

The night he got home, Zong Jincheng started eating like crazy again.

Due to overuse of the brain all day long, even Zong Wenxiu's appetite increased.

However, children eat well, and adults feel good looking at them.

Cuizhi asked the kitchen to prepare more easily digestible food to prevent them from eating too much and being unable to sleep at night.

Early the next morning, the little devil wanted to sleep until noon, but after waking up early for two months in a row, his biological clock had developed and he couldn't fall asleep until early in the morning.

He pounded the edge of the bed and cursed in a low voice: "This is such a disgusting physical reaction!"

Shunzi came in with water to serve him, with a smile on his face: "Master, Madam has given us this month's silver, and she's back without saying a word."

Zong Jincheng glanced outside and saw Wu Yan's figure.

He climbed out of bed excitedly, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and ran up to Buyan and said, "It's so hard for this family without you!!"

Silently: "..." Mr. Cheng, you have too many dramas.

Zong Jincheng finally ended this hard life of studying. Taking the fifty taels of silver he got back, he quickly dressed up and asked Bu Yanshunzi to go to the slums to see Jingzhe and take a look at Zhai Yao's hard life.

Xu Wan didn't expect that this kid was so energetic. He sneaked out to play early in the morning. With such strong energy, he still had the nerve to let Wen Xiu take care of him?

This little bastard...

Thinking like this, Xu Wan thought of another thing: "Cuizhi, how about that martial arts called Wuyan?"

Cuizhi said: "It goes without saying that I used to practice martial arts with the young Marquis. His martial arts are very strong and he has few opponents in the capital."

"Practice martial arts with the young Marquis?" Xu Wan knew that Zong Zhao was the top martial arts scholar and his sparring partner was absolutely reliable.

but……

"Just the three of them going there? Where's the groom?"

"Buyan knows how to drive."

"..." It's really a decathlon. No wonder the little devil is howling for people every day.

Xu Wan pondered for a moment and then said: "Let Cuiliu follow them secretly."

The people in the slums are complex. If someone has a wrong idea for the little devil, I'm afraid even one person can't handle it.

What's more, Zhai Yao is also there.

Last time, the housekeeper of the Zhai Mansion was robbing children in the slums. Although she didn't understand the key, she was always beating in her heart.

"Yes, I will make arrangements right away."

As soon as Xu Wan finished speaking, someone came in from outside and announced: "Madam, Mrs. Zhai from Weiyuan's Mansion wants to see you."

"Huh? She came to see me?" Xu Wan thought about it, and it was probably because of Zhai Yao.

She stood up and went to greet them.

Before Mrs. Zhai entered the door, she heard her cries, "Mrs. Zong, please save my son!"

When Xu Wan saw Mrs. Zhai who was wearing plain clothes and looking haggard, she was thinking secretly. How could she be like this after only one night's work?

It is said that it is normal for mothers to worry about their children and feel haggard, but looking at Mrs. Zhai's appearance, she always felt that something was wrong.

Cuizhi behind her tugged at the hem of her clothes and whispered: "The whitening powder on my face was applied."

Xu Wan: "..."

Because there is no lip balm and a lot of powder, the person will look extremely haggard.

No wonder she felt weird.

Mrs. Zhai seemed to be well prepared before coming to the door.

Xu Wan looked worried and said: "Mrs. Zhai, please sit down quickly. Why are you like this?"

Mrs. Zhai refused to sit down, and even had to kneel down for her. Xu Wan pulled her from kneeling down.

She cried: "It's all my fault that my Yao'er is ignorant and said those unpleasant words, which made His Royal Highness the Prince angry. But Yao'er is only nine years old and has been raised in fine clothes and food since he was a child. How can he bear to go to the slums? Ah! Madam Zong, please intercede with His Highness and let us Yao'er come back. If you want to beat or punish him, let me do it for him."

Xu Wanwei wondered: "What are you saying, Mrs. Zhai? The order was given by the prince. None of the men in charge of my family are in the palace. How can I, a woman, intercede in front of the prince? Madam, why don't you invite Mr. Zhai to come and try?" ?”

Mrs. Zhai's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and impatience flashed in her eyes, which Xu Wan accurately caught.

It was indeed an act.

The next second, Mrs. Zhai continued to cry and beg: "My master doesn't want to beg. I really have no choice, so I thought of asking you for help. After the banquet that day, everyone knew that the prince liked your Jincheng. If you let Jin Cheng ask, His Highness will definitely be willing to bring Yao'er back."

Xu Wan sighed and said: "Madam, it's not that I don't want to help, but that I'm powerless. I'm just a newly married stepmother. How can any biological mother's words be helpful? It's not like you don't know the reputation of Jincheng's child in the capital. , It’s good if he doesn’t cause trouble for me, how can he listen to my request?”

She said this against her will.

Although Zong Jincheng didn't get along with her, as long as she was willing to use her brain, there were plenty of ways to force the little devil to agree.

But why?

Zhai Yao deserved to be taught a lesson by the prince.

And the lady in front of her had a face full of signs of acting, and she might turn her face against him in the next second.

Why should she waste her impression value on the little devil for such a mother and son?

Seeing that she had said it, the displeasure on Mrs. Zhai's face became more and more obvious. She stopped crying, took a step back, and said coldly: "It seems that Mrs. Zong is unwilling to help?"

Xu Wan sighed silently, and sure enough, her face changed.

She couldn't even hold on for a cup of tea.

Xu Wan said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "It's really powerless."

Mrs. Zhai said coldly: "My master is the only son of Princess Pingyang. It's not as simple as offending an ordinary baron's mansion to offend our Zhai family."
