Houfu Key Class

The young man was soaking wet, shivering with cold, and his words were unclear.

But Xu Wan still understood.

But...

"Isn't Aunt Hong in the West Courtyard? What happened to her?"

Although Aunt Hong was the only widow of the second house, she was found after the second master died, and her identity was somewhat questionable. The old lady only placed her and her son in the West Courtyard to serve them well, but the monthly salary was more than that of ordinary concubines.

Xu Wan had not seen Aunt Hong for a few days since she got married. According to the rules of the officials of the Great Chu State, Aunt Hong should have taken the initiative to see her, but because Cuizhi said that she was always weak, she did not ask in detail.

Now looking at it again, is there any hidden secret?

Although the little devil was also soaked, the attention of the boy was attracted, and his big eyes stared at this side without blinking.

"The doctor in the palace said that my mother is already terminally ill and there is no hope of treatment, but I heard that as long as we invite the imperial physician from the palace to the palace, there is also... there is also a glimmer of hope," Zong Wenxiu pleaded, "As long as you promise to save my mother, I am willing to repay my mother with my whole life!"

The young man's promise was so firm, but in reality it was not convincing at all.

Not to mention that he is only ten years old now, even if he grows up, he is just a bastard, and the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion does not need his repayment at all.

The little devil tilted his head and reminded: "The imperial physicians in the palace are all for the emperor and his wife. How can it be so easy to invite them? I haven't seen an imperial physician since I grew up, let alone a concubine."

After saying that, he looked up.

It happened to meet Xu Wan's face that had bullied him for several days.

This bad woman would never agree.

He said that it would be better for Zong Wenxiu to ask him than to ask her.

Xu Wan knew the process of inviting an imperial physician. When her stepsister was sick before, her father sent people to the palace to invite her.

——Need to ask in the name of an important official.

And the important official of the Marquis's Mansion is naturally the old Marquis, so he can only send someone to pass on the message to the old Marquis to ask for the imperial physician for Hong Yi Niang.

Xu Wan winked.

Cui Zhi, anxious to show her loyalty, immediately understood and went out in the rain to make arrangements.

The servants in the house were still busy, Cui Liu had brought thick clothes and ordered people to wipe the bodies of the two young masters.

Cui Liu herself even pulled the little devil to take him to take a hot bath, and she couldn't let anything happen to the eldest grandson of the Marquis's Mansion.

Before leaving, the little devil kindly tried to pull Zong Wenxiu.

The latter was unmoved, thinking that Xu Wan did not agree to him, and continued to kneel on the ground with his head down: "Please, Madam!"

The little devil rolled his eyes to the sky.

He crossed his arms and said coldly: "Don't beg her, it's useless. Come with me to take a bath, otherwise you will catch a cold and die of illness."

The little devil's words were not painful.

He had been without a mother since he was a child, and his father had never been around. Even with his grandparents, he had a cold feeling towards his parents.

What's more, Aunt Hong had nothing to do with him.

Xu Wan stopped talking about her explanation.

This opportunity was suitable for dealing with the bad boy.

"I didn't say I couldn't help."

Zong Wenxiu looked up in surprise, and his face regained color: "Thank you, Madam!"

The little devil was stunned.

What's going on? This bad woman is willing to help her half-brother?

She, she, she... what does she mean? ?

She's so good to a half-brother, but she bullies him, the eldest grandson!

It's not fair!

The string in the little devil's mind broke, and he stretched out his hand and threw the newly put on clothes to the ground, angrily saying: "You have the kindness to help him, but you deliberately target me alone, and you catch me and bully me alone?"

It's unfair! ! !

Xu Wan glanced at the little chicken that exploded at the slightest provocation, and teased him with a smile: "Little friend, please understand clearly that you have been acting like a big boss from the beginning to the end. Look at Wenxiu, and then look at yourself. If you can be half as obedient as he is, how can our stepmother-son relationship be so stiff?"

Zong Jincheng's face was full of dissatisfaction.

He turned his head and continued to sulk.

Xu Wan turned to Zong Wenxiu and said: "You just said that you are willing to repay me with your whole life. A lifetime is too long, so it's not necessary. I just want you to accompany me to complete a small task."

"Madam, just give your orders." Zong Wenxiu said.

Xu Wan pointed at the little devil with one hand, and in the surprised eyes of the boy, she arranged: "I want him to follow you to study in the mansion."

She thought it over, she was not at ease leaving the little devil in the academy outside.

It's more reliable to keep him under her nose.

In addition, with a classmate like Zong Wenxiu who loves to study, it will not only provide positive help, but also prevent Zong Jincheng from learning bad things from other little dandies.

"I promise." Zong Wenxiu almost immediately responded, fearing that she would regret it.

This matter is indeed a trivial matter for him. If just accompanying others to study can exchange for his mother's safety, then he is willing to accompany Zong Jincheng to study for a lifetime.

Zong Jincheng: "???"

Excuse me! !

Have you asked for my opinion! ! !

He didn't agree to it! ! !

"I won't study!"

The little devil almost refused immediately. He reached out and plugged his ears on both sides, fearing that he would hear the two people's face-to-face conspiracy, "This matter has nothing to do with me. You two must get the consent of the parties to discuss things, you know? Anyway, I didn't hear it. I won't go. I won't study. I will just stay at home."

Zong Jincheng, who refused to be arranged, tried to play deaf and dumb.

But unfortunately, it was useless.

Standing opposite was the cold-blooded, unmoved and conscienceless stepmother Xu Wan.

The mother and son were in a stalemate, neither of them was willing to give in. In the end, it was Zong Wenxiu who moved first. The child saw that the little devil did not agree, and his mother's life was in danger, so he did not have time to waste with them.

So, he turned around, lifted his skirt and was about to kneel down. This time, he knelt down in front of Zong Jincheng.

The little devil was of noble status and had been kneeled down since he was a child, but those were servants, but not Zong Wenxiu. He was his eldest brother after all, and even if he was a bastard, he should not kneel down to him.

Zong Jincheng hurriedly dodged to the side and bumped into a warm embrace.

When he reacted and looked up, he saw the beautiful face that he hated so much recently.

"..." Shame on him, why did he hide beside her.

Realizing that something was wrong, he quickly jumped far away, far away from both of them.

Zong Wenxiu was pulled by Xu Wan and did not kneel down.

Xu Wan said softly: "A man has gold under his knees, how can he kneel down easily?"

Zong Wenxiu's tears rolled in his eyes, and he suddenly said: "But I want my mother to live."

He is different from Zong Jincheng, who has been without a mother since childhood. He has lived with his mother since childhood, and they depend on each other in a slum. The relationship between the two is closer than that of an ordinary mother and son.

Although he lived a life of luxury during the days when he was taken back to the Marquis's Mansion, he knew that people here didn't like them very much. If he didn't even have a mother, he really didn't know how he would hold on.

Perhaps his words were too lethal, Zong Jincheng was stunned for a moment, and the pampering on his face disappeared a lot.

Xu Wan quickly noticed his abnormality.

So he said another sentence to continue to stimulate him: "Think of another way, Zong Jincheng will not study for you, I think it's easier for you to break his legs."
