Reborn to be a mistress, she went crazy killing the legitimate daughter

The one who has a headache is Ji Siyue.

She was young and only wanted to play, so she was reluctant to study. Shen Yiran was more patient and set up a reward mechanism. If she memorized a certain amount of content, she would get candy or play. Ji Siyue then studied hard.

Bai Zhi came in with the clothes that had been hung out to dry, and placed them on the carved wooden rack in front of the screen, and ironed them with the incense burner, saying, "Miss, I just saw Honeysuckle from the Madam's room sneaking around outside our yard. I wonder what bad things she's up to!"

Shen Yiran heard this and told the two children to continue reading. He walked to the screen and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what you are doing?"

Seeing that Shen Yiran took it seriously, Bai Zhi nodded and said, "It seemed like he was asking what the young master and young lady were doing. I listened for a few words, and when Ren Dong saw me, she ran away."

Shen Yiran nodded and supported his chin with his hand as he thought.

Bai Zhi doesn’t understand, is this important?

Shen Yiran looked back at the two children who were reading books that were bigger than their faces, and he immediately guessed what Xu was thinking.

Although the old lady had already ordered Xu to hand over the power of managing the family, Shen Yiran also knew that Xu would not let go easily. Shen Yiran naturally had ways to deal with her delaying tactics.

I just never expected that Xu would actually set her sights on the child!

Xu probably saw how the old lady defended the child just now, so she came up with this idea.

"Xu probably wants the old lady to think that my kindness to the child is fake, so that the old lady will suspect that I am trying to gain the power to manage the family and take back my words."

Bai Zhi frowned when she heard this: "But the child knows about this, right?"

Shen Yiran said: "These two children are already pitiful enough, we can't let them get hurt, tell the maids in the room to be alert."

Bai Zhi nodded and saw Shen Yiran turned around and stared at the child reading. She couldn't figure out what Xu would do.

After Ren Dong returned, she told Xu about the two children. Xu immediately said, "Very good, Shen Yiran is handing the whip to me!"

Xu controlled the power of the Marquis' Mansion and had many connections. After making some inquiries, she found the strictest teacher who didn't like children and immediately invited him to the Marquis' Mansion.

After the old lady met the old man, she felt that he was calm and composed and was suitable to be her husband, so she agreed.

Xu asked Rendong to come over and take the two children to see the teacher.

Shen Yiran knew that the trick was coming.

Ji Siyue immediately shook his little head like a rattle and refused to go.

"Mom, I want to learn from you. I'm afraid if I don't go!"

Shen Yiran comforted him, "Sir, you have to go and pay your respects, otherwise you will break the rules of the Marquis' Mansion. Don't worry, your mother will go with you."

Ji Sicheng's heart finally settled down, and the two of them walked over holding Shen Yiran's hands.

Xu was sitting behind the screen receiving the old gentleman. Ren Dong came in and reported: "Madam, the child is here, and -"

Before he could finish his words, Shen Yiran came with two children.

When the old man heard the children coming, he slowly turned around, but he didn't expect to see a beautiful young woman walking towards him. When he saw two children pestering the woman, he knew that it was the marquis's wife and turned away immediately.

When Xu saw Shen Yiran coming, she was about to explode, but she saw the old gentleman stood up, trembling with anger, and said fiercely: "The rules of the Marquis' Mansion are very strict. I am not worthy of being a gentleman. I will take my leave now!"

Xu immediately asked the housekeeper to stop him and said, "Why did the old man suddenly get angry? Come, sit down and talk."

"How can a woman show up in public like this? I don't understand this kind of rules. I think it must be the rules of the Marquis' Mansion. I don't understand this set of rules. I'm afraid I can't do the job, so I resign!"

Hearing this, Xu curled up the corners of her lips and laughed coldly: "We don't have such a rule in our mansion. It must be the rule of the Taifu family."

When Shen Yiran heard the pedantic and old-fashioned words, he felt angry and amused at the same time.

I met a lot of people in my previous life, and I know that no matter what this kind of people say, they will not listen to anything.

He did not speak to him, but said to the housekeeper: "Since the old gentleman has made up his mind to leave, we cannot treat him unfairly. Give him more money for the journey and carriage, and send him off respectfully!"

Xu was furious, but when she saw the old man walking away, she could only rush out from behind the screen and point at Shen Yiran and curse, "You have offended such a respected teacher. How can you hire a teacher in the future?"

Shen Yiran was neither anxious nor impatient, and said softly: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, such a teacher is so pedantic, and he accuses without listening to the reason. The child can only learn some outdated knowledge and old-fashioned principles in his hands. This is what ruins the child!"

Xu narrowed her eyes and said, "Sister, are you saying that the gentleman I found is not good? This is the old lady's intention. Are you saying that the old lady's vision is not good?"

When Ji Sicheng heard the accusation in these words, he immediately looked at Shen Yiran nervously, but found that Shen Yiran was still smiling.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will go and apologize to the old lady in person later. I'm sure she will agree with my judgment after hearing about it."

Of course, Xu knew that the old lady favored Shen Yiran, so she could make a fuss about it and the matter would naturally be resolved.

"What about the child's enlightenment? Who will take care of his reading and writing in the future? I'm afraid my third brother doesn't have the time, right?"

"I come."

Xu sneered and cast her gaze into the fearful eyes of the two children: "Sister, what you said sounds good now, but what will happen when you have children in the future? Will you still have time to take care of them then?"

Even Ji Siyue let go of the little hand that was pulling Shen Yiran and stuck behind her brother.

The two children learned to read people's expressions early on in the Marquis's Mansion, and they also understood these principles.

Whose mother doesn't love her children? They are already living under someone else's roof, and how much love they get depends on how much charity the adults give them.

Shen Yiran felt distressed by the children's eyes. He squatted down and held the two children's hands and said, "Although I am not your biological mother, we are very happy together, right?"

Ji Siyue and Ji Sicheng both nodded but said nothing.

"Although I have never had children, and I can't guarantee that I won't inadvertently favor my own children in the future, I can guarantee that I love you, want to protect you, and take care of you until you grow up and get married. This feeling will not change. Do you believe me?"

The two children nodded hesitantly.

"Besides, if I give birth to a child, it will be a little baby. You two are so good to him, you will definitely like him more than me, right? Then it will be you two brothers and sisters who will favor him, giving mother a headache!"

Ji Siyue suddenly smiled: "If mother gives birth to a child, I will be the elder sister, not just the younger sister?"

Seeing Ji Siyue turning around, Shen Yiran was moved and his eyes moistened: "Yes, you have to protect your brothers and sisters, Yueyue will definitely be a good sister!"

After that, he took Ji Sicheng's hand and shook it, saying with a smile: "Chengcheng is already a good brother. From now on, you can only be a brother. Thank you for your hard work!"

Ji Sicheng believed Shen Yiran's sincerity and nodded vigorously: "I will be a good brother!"
