Houfu Key Class

Xu Wan silently sighed: This Crown Princess is really good-tempered. She silently shouldered a lot of infamy for the Crown Prince, and she seemed to be content with it.

The Crown Princess walked down and said softly: "His Royal Highness knows little about the slums, and did not expect that Zhai Yao would not be able to survive there. I will tell him about the situation later. I think with His Highness's soft heart, I will also I will agree to take the Zhai child back."

Xu Wan hurriedly stood up and said, "Thank you very much, Crown Princess."

The Crown Princess stepped forward, held her hand in an approachable manner, and said softly: "I heard that you have cooperated with Baili Xi recently to improve Jin Cheng's studies rapidly, but it's been a hard work."

Xu Wan thought to herself, of course it was hard work. It was more tiring to take care of a brat like Little Devil than to take care of ten literary cultivators.

But he still said modestly: "This is what I should do."

"You always say this, but the actual hard work is visible to others." The princess changed her voice and suddenly asked, "By the way, when is Jin Cheng's birthday?"

Xu Wan said truthfully: "June 16th."

"Oh... that was the one conceived at the end of August..." the Crown Princess murmured.

Xu Wan calculated and said, "It's this time."

The Crown Princess asked her again: "Do you know who Jin Cheng's biological mother is?"

Xu Wan's heart thumped, and she understood even if she didn't want to understand.

That day, the prince showed a special liking for Jin Cheng, and said that he had hugged the newborn Jin Cheng when he was a child, which was too easy for people to misunderstand. As expected, the prince began to think too much.

The Crown Princess only married into the East Palace five years ago. Three years later, there was no one waiting in the Crown Prince's palace, but...who knows if there would be someone else?

The Crown Princess had been thinking about it these days, but she never thought that any noble girl in the capital suddenly disappeared eight years ago for a year to get pregnant and give birth to a child, so she planned to ask Xu Wan.

The mother is reluctant to see her child, but if she visits Jin Cheng secretly, she will definitely be noticed by Xu Wan, the head mother of the family.

Xu Wan lowered her head and said: "I don't know anything about Jin Cheng's biological mother. I only know that my husband has asked his father-in-law to give him the genealogy of his eldest grandson since he brought him back to the Hou Mansion eight years ago. No matter how detailed it is, Maybe you have to ask your father-in-law.”

When it came to the prince, Xu Wan didn't even dare to think in this direction.

Knowing that he was the child of the Marquis, she could discipline him without any pressure; if he were the child of the royal family, even a laborer would not dare to deal with such a naughty child if he had 800 courages!

The Crown Princess was silent for a few seconds and did not ask any more questions.

Xu Wan stood for a long time and didn't hear her speak again, so she had to say goodbye: "Empress, I have something to do at home, so I won't bother you anymore."

The Crown Princess smiled and said, "Go back. The Crown Prince will hold a hunt in Qiuyang Mountain at the end of the month. You can bring Jin Cheng and the others over to play."

"Yes, thank you, ma'am."

Xu Wan thanked her and left the East Palace. As soon as she left the house, she ran into the Duke of Jin's wife.

The lady I just offended at the last banquet.

In the end, if it weren't for the pressure from the crown prince and crown princess, the Duke of Jin's wife would not have apologized to them.

When the Duke of Jin saw that it was Xu Wan, her eyes were so wide that they looked like they were on top of her head. She mocked, "He's come to the East Palace to curry favor with the Crown Princess again."

Xu Wan stopped, looked in the direction where Jin Guogong's wife was going, and asked: "Isn't it the Duke of Jin's wife?"

The Duke of Jin's wife was so angry that she wanted to take action, but the maid next to her stopped her.

Finally, she heard her say: "An unfavored legitimate daughter married into a prince's house that valued merchants. She didn't get any good results. I don't know how she had the confidence to dare to challenge this lady!"

Xu Wan smiled and said: "I don't dare. As long as the Duke's wife doesn't embarrass us, we don't want to offend the Duke's government."

The Duke of Jin's wife snorted coldly: "You are glib, you and your simple sister are not even the slightest bit different!"

Simple sister...

Xu Wan remembered that Xu Lian'er's marriage had been decided at the Duke of Jin's Palace, and the wedding would be completed next month.

But the word innocence can also be associated with Xu Lian'er? The Duke of Jin's wife was still too little deceived.

Knowing her past relationship, Xu Wan felt pity when she looked at Jin Guogong's wife. She hoped that this firecracker mother-in-law could withstand Xu Lian'er's gentle sword in the future.

Return to the Hou Mansion.

Xu Wan then asked: "Is Jincheng in the study?"

Although it’s impossible even if you think about it, what if it happens?

What if he just doesn't want to sleep, doesn't want to walk the birds and play with the cat, and wants to fly in the ocean of knowledge...

Cuiliu said with a dull expression on her face, "The young master has gone out to play."

Xu Wan: "..."

Well, he just refuses to study.

This bastard brat.

Xu Wan asked again: "Where did he go to play? Did he go to find Jingzhe again?"

Jin Cheng has been running to the slums frequently recently, which caused an uproar in the slums. Fortunately, with his intimidation, no one dared to bully the Jingzhe family.

Cuiliu's face became even more stern, and she said, "I went to Master He Zheng's house in the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion."

"He Zheng? It sounds familiar." Xu Wan was somewhat impressed, but couldn't remember who it was.

He seems to be the little devil's friend.

But the little devil’s former friends were all like that...

"One of the four little dandies." Cuizhi reminded.

Xu Wan: "..."

Well, the hanging heart is finally dead.

Xu Wan lay tiredly on the imperial concubine chair, closed her eyes and said, "Come on, tell me what a bastard this He Zheng is."

Ever since she met the Little Demon King and Zhai Yao, she had no fondness for the four little dudes. Any one of them she picked would cause headaches for a lifetime.

Fortunately, they are still raised by four powerful and noble families. If they were all spread to one family, it would really be a disaster for the sky and the earth.

Cuiliu came over holding the booklet and handed it to Cuizhi to read:

"He Zheng, nine years old, is the third son of the Minister of War. He broke his arm for climbing over the wall of the Shangshu Mansion, broke his arm for the second time for climbing over the wall of the Academy, and broke his arm for the third time for climbing over the wall of the martial arts field. I broke my arm because I rolled..."

"Stop, stop, stop..." Xu Wan opened her eyes and shouted, "Did you take the broken arm book from the medical clinic by mistake? He is the legitimate son of the Shangshu Mansion, not a martial artist who practices juggling. With such a noble status, he has to work every day. If he breaks his arm, can he still have his arm?"

Cuiliu explained rigorously: "After an arm is broken, it becomes fragile. If it is stimulated again, it will easily break again. This is normal."

Xu Wan: "..." God is damn normal!

She held her forehead and couldn't help but feel a headache for He Zheng's parents. Raising a child who wanted to play with his own death would scare him even if he didn't have a heart disease.

Xu Wan took a deep breath and asked: "Then why does he climb over the wall every day? Does he have a habit of climbing over the wall?"
