After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

In terms of status, Mrs. Yunhou was naturally not as good as Mrs. Zhenguo, so she didn't dare to quarrel with her, so she resorted to the pretentious tricks she was good at.

"What the Duke's wife said is that you have to be generous...ahem...I often teach my servants like this." Mrs. Yunhou showed a delicate and pure look. After saying this, she looked at the maid who had just beaten someone. , "What do I teach you on a daily basis? Be kind and courteous to others, and don't let others make a fuss out of a molehill and throw dirty water on my face."

The maid was probably used to taking the blame. Without any hesitation, she lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "Yes, I was wrong. I didn't keep in mind Madam's previous teachings."

"Why don't you quickly apologize to this lady?"

The maid apologized to the woman who had just beaten her. The woman did not dare to cause trouble, so she waved her hands quickly and left quickly.

Mrs. Yun Hou coughed again, and then looked at the Duke's wife, "Madam, I have always been generous to others. I'm afraid you may have some misunderstanding about me."

The Duke's wife saw Mrs. Yunhou's behavior and frowned, "Mrs. Yunhou has a reputation for being gentle and courteous. How can I have any misunderstandings? Madam is overthinking."

"Then I must be overthinking."

Mrs. Yunhou smiled, then turned to look at Liu Yunxiang and the others, pretending to be surprised, "Oh, isn't this the Seventh Princess and the Third Princess and Mrs. Xiao? The three of them were hiding there, and I actually saw them. ."

After saying that, Mrs. Yunhou nodded at them.

Mrs. Xiao gritted her teeth, "What do you mean by hiding? Do we look down on people or something? How does this person talk?"

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows. When he saw Mrs. Zhenguo looking over, their eyes collided, and then they bowed and saluted each other.

"The three young princes are not in the Imperial College, and my brother An even said that he misses them."

"So is my cute child." The second lady, who had been unable to get in a word, added hurriedly, then covered her mouth and smiled.

This was clearly a provocation, and Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves again.

Liu Yunxiang said lightly: "Mrs. Yunhou is kind and generous, but it just so happens that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. That is not entirely true."

Mrs. Yunhou's face turned green, then she said with a smile: "Look at what the Seventh Princess said, even though the young prince hit someone and lied, he is not wrong."

"I know whether my house is crooked or not, but Mrs. Yunhou probably doesn't know."

"The Seventh Princess... really loves to joke." Mrs. Yunhou secretly gritted her teeth and said.

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "It's not that funny. Children can be a blessing or a disaster for their parents. Mrs. Yunhou is just waiting."

"you……"

"Oh, seventh brother and sister, we wanted to find a quiet place, but this place is not clean at all!" Su Rumeng interrupted Mrs. Yunhou's entanglement.

Liu Yunxiang smiled: "It's really noisy."

"My ears are really hurting. Let's go sit in the pavilion over there for a while." Mrs. Xiao suggested.

"Alright."

The three people stood up, said goodbye to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, and then walked out of the corridor.

As soon as she walked out, Mrs. Xiao burst out laughing, "Did you see that woman's face turned black with anger?"

Su Rumeng also laughed, "She thought everyone would fall for her tricks."

"There's no need to get entangled with people like this in the future." Liu Yunxiang said speechlessly.

When the three of them were walking towards the pavilion, Mrs. Xiao saw something and quickly pointed it out to Liu Yunxiang and Su Rumeng.

"Look, is it Xue Kong?"

Liu Yunxiang looked over and saw that it was not Xue Kong. He was brought here by an older nanny. The child looked timid and hesitated for a long time before walking towards the hanging flower door in the backyard. He folded his body and lowered his head, not daring to look at the people on both sides.

"This child was really not like this before." Mrs. Xiao sighed, and when she thought of something, she turned to Liu Yunxiang and asked, "By the way, how is his mother's case?"

Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly, "The death penalty may be avoided, but you will definitely be imprisoned. It depends on how long the sentence is."

"Then this child, under the torture of the Duke's Mansion, can only hope to grow up safely."

The children here entered the backyard. Since it was still a while before the lecture started, Qin Yan and the three of them were playing around in the garden. Yan'er learned a new boxing technique from Guan Xu and excitedly showed it to Qin Yu and Xiao Yuchen. The two children also became interested, watching him practice and following along with the gestures.

"Hey, the three-legged cat is not afraid of embarrassment even with his kung fu."

Hearing this sound, Qin Yan and the others turned around and saw Liang Wen'an and Xue Meng.

Xiao Yuchen got angry when he saw them, and immediately rolled up his sleeves, "The three-legged cat's kung fu is right, do you want a fight? I'll see if I don't beat you to pieces!"

"Blow it!" Xue Meng shouted, "I'm older than you, be careful to make your body smell like powder!"

"you!"

Xiao Yuchen was about to rush forward, but Qin Yu held him back.

"Forget it, we're here to learn. It won't be good if we disturb the old priest."

Liang Wen'an and the others proudly raised their chins at Qin Yan and the others, and then walked towards the garden inside.

Qin Yan and the others didn't take it too seriously and were still playing happily in the garden. When passing by a bamboo forest, they heard the faint sound of crying. Out of curiosity, the three children walked inside.

Behind the bamboo forest was a pavilion. Liang Wen'an, Xue Meng and two other children were inside. They surrounded a thin child, punched and kicked him, and laughed at him.

The child on the ground was curled up, crying softly because of fear.

"Ah, it seems to be Xue Kong." Qin Yu was the first to recognize it.

Xiao Yuchen took a closer look and saw that it was really him.

"Hmph, deserve it!"

Last time they rescued Xue Kong, they were bitten by him, which caused a lot of damage to their little hearts. Therefore, seeing this scene, none of the three people had the idea of ​​​​stepping forward to help him.

"Hey, I even changed into new clothes!"

"What, this is the rest of my clothes!"

"I heard that his father is the murderer!"

"His family must be a den of murderers!"

The children surrounded Xue Kong and taunted him. One of them suddenly thought of a bad idea.

"I'm holding my pee, but I don't have a urinal right now. What do you think I should do?"

Liang Wen'an immediately understood what the child meant. He smiled and pointed at Xue Kong on the ground, "Isn't there a ready-made one?"

"Pee on him?"

"How can he come with us to study when his urine smells like a doctor!"

"Yes, why should a murderer's son pee on him when he comes to study with me?"

After saying that, the child really unbuttoned his pants, Xue Kong was so frightened that he wanted to run away. Liang Wen'an kicked him back and at the same time pressed his foot on his back to prevent him from moving.

Xue Meng hesitated again, "Is this too much?"

"Hey, do you feel sorry for your cousin?" Liang Wen'an raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue Meng.

Xue Meng hurriedly cleared the relationship with Xue Kong, "Bah, he is not from our Duke's Palace!"

"I don't believe it unless you peed on him too."

Xue Meng gritted her teeth and said, "Just pee, I'm holding it in!"

Xue Kong couldn't break free and cried and shouted in despair.
