Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Du Yushu followed her gaze and smiled.

"The person you asked just now is the housekeeper of our mansion. He was picked up by his father since he was a child. He is a few years younger than Brother Pingchuan, but he is reliable in his work. His name is Fang Houde, and everyone calls him Fang Butler."

"It turns out that General Lin is a kind person. He first recognized the son of his relatives and friends as his adopted son. Although the child he picked up now has not been given a title, he is not inferior to others."

Xia Bai'an smiled lightly, and touched the cup wall with the back of his hand, feeling that the tea inside was getting colder. He tapped his fingertips on the table and called the servant girl, "Madam's body is cold, and you shouldn't drink herbal tea in autumn. You should heat it up for two hours." Send it."

"Yes."

The maid left respectfully.

Du Yushu's eyes lit up: "Sister Bai An can actually see that my body is cold?"

"I'm a doctor. If my sister-in-law doesn't mind, I can take a look for you."

"So good."

Du Yushu generously handed out his wrist.

Xia Bai'an took her pulse and breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister-in-law is suffering from depression every day, and her body is also getting weaker. Compared with daily tonics, it is more important to cultivate quietly, supplemented by soothing incense."

"There are so many things in the mansion, how can we not be bothered." Du Yushu sighed for a long time, glanced over the huge Lin Mansion, his eyes filled with tears again, "I haven't seen many people in this huge mansion for a long time. "

Xia Bai'an was dumbfounded for a moment.

The men of Lin's family are all trapped now, and the only mother and daughter seem to be unable to protect themselves.

Women in this era are attached to men, and if something happens to a man, they can't do anything.

Xia Bai'an was sad, and comforted her a few more words, but he heard laughter from behind, and the voices of the servants: "Miss, you can't run around..."

"Miss, the room is clean and there is nothing!"

Xia Bai'an followed the sound, and saw a cute and cute porcelain doll with braids, running towards them crying, and threw herself into Du Yushu's arms.

"Mother, Miaomiao saw that ghost again just now, and she passed by my door!"

Du Yushu's expression changed in an instant, and he wiped away tears for his daughter with distress, and glanced sideways at the nuns.

"How do you take care of Miao Miao? Where can you see anything unclean under the blue sky?"

Several nuns lowered their heads one after another: "This...the only one who passed by the lady's door just now is Steward Fang. I'm afraid the butler is dressed in black today, and the lady just woke up from a nap and misread it, so... ..."

"That's right, everyone is guarding in front of the door in this blue sky and broad daylight, so you don't dare to come if you see such a strong yang energy in pickled things."

Du Yushu listened to the earnestness of the mothers, and then carefully hugged Lin Miaomiao, coaxed her to stop crying, and comforted her: "That's Steward Fang, not some ghost."

Lin Miaomiao clenched Du Yushu's skirt, her lips trembling slightly: "But, but I really saw..."

"There are no such things in the mansion." Du Yushu emphasized again.

Lin Miaomiao lowered her head aggrievedly, buried herself in Du Yushu's arms and stopped talking.

Several nuns still wanted to reach out to pick it up: "Let's take the young lady down, don't disturb the conversation between the young lady and the distinguished guest."

"It doesn't matter if a child is listening nearby."

Xia Bai'an suddenly made a sound, waved his hands to the nuns, and took out some candy from his pocket, which was always prepared for children, stuffed it into Lin Miaomiao's arms, and smiled slightly, "Your mother is a little tired, sit by yourself Would you like to eat next to me?"

"I'm not tired." Du Yushu retorted subconsciously, and wanted to hug the child.

But Lin Miaomiao glanced at the sugar in her arms, then at Du Yushu who was full of exhaustion, broke free from her arms, and climbed up the edge of the stone bench.

Xia Bai'an supported her, adjusted her dress, and asked someone to take a wet handkerchief to wipe off all the tears on her face.

Lin Miaomiao looked at her obediently: "Who are you?"

"My name is Xia Bai'an, and I'm your Uncle Ao Pingchuan's friend. You can call me Aunt Xia." Xia Bai'an tidied her hair.

Lin Miaomiao thought for a while, then looked at Du Yushu again.

Du Yushu saw that his daughter didn't cry or make trouble, she was obedient and clever, and she didn't plan to continue talking about ghosts and gods, so she just nodded: "It's your Aunt Xia."

"Aunt Xia, thank you for the candy." Lin Miaomiao said obediently, unwrapped the candy wrapper and ate the candy, sniffing and staring at the pastries on the table with rounded eyes, "I can also stay Do you listen?"

"of course."

Xia Bai'an nodded, waved his hands to dismiss all the nuns, and then briefly chatted with Du Yushu about the affairs of the house.

Du Yushu watched Xia Bai'an tease Lin Miaomiao from time to time, and went over to Lin Miaomiao just in time to say a few words about whether the pastry was delicious or not, and he looked at her with admiration.

"I didn't expect Sister Bai An to be so good at taking care of children at such a young age. Miao Miao always cries dully on weekdays, but when she comes to you, she doesn't cry much."

Xia Bai'an laughed: "There may be too many nuns in front of the child."

"Oh?"

"A little girl at this age just loves to play, make noise and cry. In the middle of playing, a group of nuns stepped forward to stop her and asked her, so she must not lose her temper."

Xia Bai'an is well aware of this.

When she was a child, she was also most afraid that her relatives would see her as a genius, so she carefully followed behind.

She fell while reading a book in the bookstore, and relatives came over one by one to ask for their health.

In the eyes of the child, the appearance of relatives gathered around eagerly to please them is tantamount to being surrounded by a jungle giant, very suppressed, they can't listen to the words of flattery at all, and just want to leave quickly.

Du Yushu thought about this question seriously.

After a while, she saw that Lin Miaomiao had slipped into Xia Bai'an's arms, and wanted to taste her tea, so she asked tentatively, "Sister Bai'an, can you do me a favor?"

"Sister-in-law, tell me." Xia Bai'an poured her a small cup.

Lin Miaomiao took a sip, stuck out her tongue in pain, and pushed the cup back.

Xia Bai'an couldn't help laughing and pinched her face.

Du Yushu couldn't help laughing, and continued: "Miao Miao always said that she saw ghosts at home. I'm afraid the atmosphere in the mansion is too depressing, which is not good for children. Look, can you please take Miao Miao out for a few days, loosely and loosely?" ?”

"This……"

"I'm afraid there is something wrong."

A steady voice cut off Xia Bai'an's words from behind.

Xia Bai'an was about to turn his head back, but Lin Miaomiao shrank back in his arms, crumpling the candy wrapper into a ball.

Very strange.

Xia Bai'an frowned for a moment, then turned around, and saw Fang Houde coming in black, followed by Mo Che and Ao Pingchuan who were empty-handed.

Looks like nothing was found.

Thinking so, Xia Bai'an hugged the frightened child tightly, and looked at Fang Houde in front of him.

"What does Steward Fang think is wrong?"
