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

"You are not a member of Young Master Ao's family, how can you entrust Miss to you so easily?" Fang Houde frowned deeply, wanting to raise his hand to hug Lin Miaomiao back.

But Lin Miaomiao grasped Xia Bai'an's skirt tightly, and said in a low voice: "Aunt Xia, don't want ghost shadows."

"..."

Fang Houde's face turned red immediately, and he looked down at himself in black at a loss.

Ao Pingchuan who was behind heard the sound also came forward, patted Fang Houde on the shoulder, and laughed out loud.

"Ever since Miao Miao knew how to look at people, why hasn't your identity as a ghost been revealed?"

"Master Ao, this...isn't this a black dress that is resistant to dirt?"

Fang Houde's face was obviously redder. Seeing that Lin Miaomiao didn't want to get close to him, he quickly stepped back a few steps, just watching helplessly, looking very pitiful.

And Ao Pingchuan walked over to hug his niece, but saw Lin Miaomiao blinked and leaned against Xia Bai'an's chest.

"Be soft."

"..."

Xia Bai'an's ears turned red.

Ao Pingchuan was embarrassed for a moment, then coughed and moved his eyes away.

Du Yushu was also angry, and grabbed Lin Miaomiao into his arms to teach him a lesson: "Where did you learn these words, don't talk nonsense to women next time."

"Oh, Miaomiao knows. No matter how soft Aunt Xia is..."

"Miaomiao."

Xia Bai'an couldn't help raising his voice slightly.

Lin Miaomiao quickly covered her mouth, blinking at Xia Bai'an innocently.

Xia Bai'an lost his temper in an instant, and only coughed a few times in embarrassment, and felt the back of his neck being gently rubbed, and the next moment, his whole body was pulled up, and the side of his waist was pinched gently.

She immediately glanced at the culprit.

Mo Che's expression didn't change, he just said, "You're so thin, you're panicking."

"...I can use my fist too." Xia Bai'an threatened with bulging veins on his forehead.

Mo Che just hugged her a little tighter, and took her away temporarily: "Let Ao Pingchuan handle the matter of the Lin family."

Hearing this, Ao Pingchuan's face darkened slightly, and he was ready to discuss Lin Miaomiao's matter with Du Yushu.

Mo Che took Xia Bai'an to the front hall, and he could vaguely hear Fang Houde's dissuasion: "Miss is still so young, how can you rest assured if you leave it to outsiders?"

"Mo Che and Xia Bai'an have three children under their knees, and if Miao Miao passes by, I will naturally come to live with them. It's also because I haven't married for a long time, and there is no female family member at home, so I can't take Miao Miao alone..."

Ao Pingchuan's voice gradually faded away.

Xia Bai'an didn't notice the raging fingers on his waist, but grabbed Mo Che's arm as usual.

"Actually, it's good to have one more child. Qian'er and the others didn't have many friends of the same age in the village before."

"It will be all right."

Mo Che didn't mind either.

The two sat in the front hall for a while, and Ao Pingchuan carried Lin Miaomiao out, followed by Fang Houde, who was dissatisfied: "Master Ao, then you must take good care of Miss, and you can't let Miss always see black clothes. It’s impolite to call you a ghost.”

"How old are you, and you are just like my old man."

Ao Pingchuan picked out his ears, picked up Lin Miaomiao like a little chicken, and put it beside Xia Bai'an, "Hold your Aunt Xia, and I'll have a word with your Uncle Mo."

Lin Miaomiao blinked and hugged Xia Bai'an's calf.

Xia Bai'an didn't move, and seeing the two of them leave, she looked Fang Houde up and down: "If there is anything Miaomiao needs to pay attention to, just tell me."

Fang Houde glanced at her, then lowered his head at a loss.

The butler, isn't he a little too shy?

The corner of Xia Bai'an's mouth twitched, and he didn't ask any more questions. He followed Chu Bo to clean up Lin Miaomiao's burden, and introduced Lin Miaomiao to the other three children in the family.

Lin Miaomiao was still a little nervous, her face wrinkled into a ball: "If my brother and sister hate me, what should I do?"

"Then Aunt Xia will take you out to find other playmates."

Lin Miaomiao opened her mouth wide: "I don't have to be a little more obedient, so I can please my brother and sister?"

"Whether you like it or not is fate. You can't force it. If you like it, play together. If you don't like it, don't force it."

"Miao Miao knows."

Lin Miaomiao leaned forward, lying in Xia Bai'an's arms and smiling sullenly.

Xia Bai'an directly picked him up and went to the carriage to wait for him.

Behind her, Fang Houde kept staring at her.

When Xia Bai'an lowered the car curtain, the corner of his mouth twitched: "I'm too nervous."

After a while, Ao Pingchuan climbed into the carriage and told Xia Bai'an: "Just now we went to the study again and found nothing usable at all."

Mo Che followed closely behind, and nodded slightly: "I don't know, maybe when Lin Qingya was convicted, the soldiers who came to the gate did something."

"The study is an important place. If someone comes to search, it is naturally impossible to let go of the clues. If there are no clues here, let's rely on witnesses from outside the tribe."

When Xia Bai'an was speaking, he inexplicably felt Lin Miaomiao grabbing his clothes.

After finishing speaking, she looked down at Lin Miaomiao's red eyes, and hugged her: "What's wrong? Miaomiao?"

"There are also ghosts in the study." She sobbed, her voice trembling before the tears fell, "The house is full of ghosts, it's scary."

Xia Bai'an frowned, hugged Lin Miaomiao into his arms and patted her back gently, covered her ears with the other hand, and looked at Ao Pingchuan.

"Has Miao Miao always been like this?"

"One or two years."

Ao Pingchuan sighed, and gently rubbed Lin Miaomiao's hair.

It has always been like this.

Xia Bai'an felt a little distressed for no reason, no wonder Du Yushu entrusted the child to him just after meeting him today, there is probably no way to solve it.

A few people went to Ao Mansion, took some things that Ao Pingchuan usually used, and then went back to Xia Mansion.

On the road, Xia Bai'an heard many people say that the epidemic seems to be rampant again.

Back at the mansion, she hurriedly changed into clothes that were more convenient for her to move around, introduced Lin Miaomiao to the three children, and carried the medicine box to go outside: "I'll go and see the situation of the epidemic."

Just as he walked to the gate of the mansion, a familiar figure just got off the carriage.

Mo Lan, who was dressed in brocade clothes, saw Xia Bai'an, stepped on the footstool and got off the carriage in a panic, and hurried up the steps to come to her.

"Sister Bai An, this is..."

How did she come?

Xia Bai'an was puzzled, and then glanced at the two men in the yard behind him. They must have come for one of Mo Che and Ao Pingchuan. She stepped aside a little: "I'm going to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask about the situation of the epidemic. Let's go first." One step, Miss Lan Xin can do as she pleases."

After speaking, she left in a hurry.

Just stepping into the sunset, Xia Bai'an always felt uncomfortable.

She was walking on the way to the prime minister's mansion, she hit her heart hard twice, and muttered to herself.

"Mo Lanxin also obeys his father's orders to do things. What am I doing here to be depressed and unhappy? It's not that a three-year-old has been robbed of a toy, so why do I have to be depressed?"

After she finished speaking, she felt calmer and hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But, who is she looking for?

Xia Bai'an was still thinking about it.
