Houfu Key Class

Xu Wan asked, "Are you conjoined twins? You stick to your brother every day."

"I..." The little devil subconsciously wanted to refute, but soon caught a strange word, and asked curiously, "What are conjoined twins?"

Xu Wan explained, "It means that when the twins grow in the mother's body, their bodies grow together and share the same body."

Little devil: "!!"

How terrifying! !

Xu Wan continued, "I remember there is a book in the big study that specifically talks about this, called a collection of strange stories. Every rumor is true, novel, and unheard of."

The little devil's eyes lit up and he became interested.

Xu Wan was still pretending to have a headache and said, "I can't find it. I should read a few more pages so that I can show it off to people who haven't seen it."

The little devil ran away, and he shouted, "I'll find it first, so that you will never see it again!"

Looking at the back of the little devil, Xu Wan was relieved.

The child is older, but he is not as easy to deceive as before, and he needs to have good acting skills.

Fortunately, there are many books in the study room, and it takes the little devil a long time just to find a book. It will be dark at least when he finishes reading.

Xu Wan breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down.

I thought it was not her turn to participate in this melon-eating drama, and there was no one familiar to ask, but after a while, Cuizhi said that the old lady wanted to see her and asked her to judge.

Xu Wan stood up and walked over, asking: "What are you judging? Did the old lady and Hong Yi Niang quarrel?"

Cuizhi said with a smile: "No, it was quarreling with the old marquis."

Xu Wan: "..."

She was silent for a long time, and then she remembered: "Didn't they say that the old marquis never won a quarrel?"

Cuizhi hummed and said: "But every time there is still a process of fighting back."

Xu Wan: "…………"

These two really know how to play.

But it's good this way, there is a chance to eat the rich melon up close!

Xu Wan quickened her pace and hurried over. Cuizhi thought that the Madam was a good daughter-in-law, seeing how much she cared for the old lady.

The battle in the house was so fierce that Xu Wan heard the roar of the old marquis inside as soon as she arrived outside the courtyard: "Although it is legal in our dynasty to make a concubine a wife, it is a loss of face to make a concubine of such a low birth a wife. Which wealthy family would do such a thing?"

The old lady roared even louder: "Which is more important, face or child? If Hong Yi Niang does not make the wife the wife, Wen Xiu cannot mention the legitimate son. That is Yan Er's child, and that is his only child. Do you have the heart to let Wen Xiu be a bastard for the rest of his life!"

Xu Wan listened attentively at the door. After just two sentences, she roughly understood that the two wanted to record Wen Xiu as the legitimate son, but the old marquis took into account the etiquette and tried hard to refute her idea.

But this time, it seemed that the attitude was a bit tough, not like a desperate resistance, so the old lady called Xu Wan to ask her to judge.

Xu Wan turned her head back and saw Cuizhi waving her hands in fear and going out, obviously looking like she didn't want to eat the big melon of the rich family.

Xu Wan: "..."

Well, it turns out that the melon is not so easy to eat.

Seeing her coming, the old lady said repeatedly: "Wan'er, come and tell me, is your father-in-law unreasonable? This is called prejudice, prejudice of family status, and pedantry."

The old marquis said: "How am I pedantic? If I were pedantic, would I agree to let him be recorded under Zong Yan's name when Wen Xiu's identity was not confirmed at that time?"

"The child only followed Hong Yi Niang, and he would die in the slums without his mother. Didn't you think so at the time? Did you think he would be Zong Yan's child?"

"Then you didn't think about it. When Wen Xiu was conceived, Zong Yan was only fourteen years old and had just passed his birthday. Don't you also believe that he would do such a ridiculous thing?"

"I..." The old lady was refuted and speechless.

Xu Wan understood. The old couple originally came back with Zong Yan's concubine, but they didn't expect that there was a little Wen Xiu. They thought that this was the child that Hong Yi Niang had before she met Zong Yan.

She said weakly: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, if you think Hong Yi Niang's status is too low to be promoted, then you can consider only promoting Wen Xiu? Didn't Jin Cheng have no legitimate mother at the beginning, so he was recorded as a legitimate son?"

The old lady was reminded, and she hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Jin Cheng also has no legitimate mother, he can do Wen Xiu!"

The old marquis said with a dark face: "No! Jin Cheng was brought back by Zong Zhao himself at that time, and he is his certified biological son. I thought he had some hidden secrets and would be able to marry Jin Cheng's mother home soon. Who knew that I waited for eight years and became the only joke in the capital."

Xu Wan: "..."

It turned out to be another old bad debt.

She suddenly felt a little sorry for the old marquis. These two sons were really troublesome, but the old couple had to plan for the future of these two grandsons.

"Why not? Do you think our precious grandson will be looked down upon as a bastard wherever he goes? That's Yan'er's only child, the only thing he left for us!" The old lady's eyes were red again when she said this.

The old marquis choked, paused a little soft-heartedly, and remained silent.

Xu Wan asked tentatively: "Then how about... keeping Wenxiu in my room?"

She knew that this idea was not very feasible, but it was the best solution at present. If Hong Yi Niang could not be promoted, then Wenxiu would need a legitimate mother. And Zong Yan was gone, and the marquis's mansion could not marry another legitimate wife just for Wenxiu, which would be even more of a joke.

The old lady shook her head and said stubbornly: "No, Wenxiu must be registered under Yan'er's name, he is Yan'er's child."

Xu Wan thought about it and agreed. She decided to continue to argue for the promotion of Hong Yi Niang to the position of the concubine. This was the easiest thing to achieve at the moment.

The two women formed a united front and looked at the old marquis. The old marquis said with a stern face: "Impossible, I don't agree."

The old lady said firmly: "You have to agree even if you don't agree. I will record Wen Xiu as the legitimate grandson."

The old marquis was so angry that he blew his beard: "I am the head of this family clan. Only I can put the child on the family tree!"

"Then you go and put him on the family tree."

"I won't."

"You go!"

"I won't go."

"..."

The two quarreled again. Xu Wan, a junior, listened here and felt that the taste was different.

Although the two argued fiercely about Wen Xiu's identity, they did not say bad words. Even in the quarrel, tolerance and love could be seen, which were the characteristics of couples with good feelings.

Xu Wan's attention was focused on the couple when she heard the last sentence. Her eyes were full of envy and peace of life.

After a long while, she finally reacted and asked, "Mother-in-law, what is Hong Yi Niang's background? Is she really from the slums?"

Based on Xu Wan's understanding of Hong Yi Niang, the mother taught Wen Xiu to be so well-behaved and sensible, and she didn't care about the affairs of the mansion at all. She knew when to advance and retreat, and understood human nature. She didn't look like a woman raised in a poor family.
