At this time, there was a faint sound outside, and I heard the woman's voice soft as boneless, "Ling Yu came to say hello to the young master." ”

Xiao Fengming frowned, and said in a deep voice while putting away the wooden box and hosta in his hand, "Come in." ”

A moment later, a woman dressed in white and plain yarn arrived. Shang Lingyu stood in front of the desk with his hands folded, and was very respectful to Xiao Fengming. Xiao Fengming glanced at her, and saw that this woman was still the same as before, with that indelible melancholy between her eyebrows, and said indifferently, "Is that thing difficult?" ”

Shang Lingyu shook his head, "What the young master explained, I will also do it, and there is nothing difficult or difficult." ”

Xiao Fengming's face sank even more when he heard this, "Then what are you here to say?" ”

Shang Lingyu looked embarrassed, looking very hesitant about what he wanted to say. Xiao Fengming was a little surprised when he saw this, although this Shang Lingyu looked like a weak woman, but he knew that since the old man who he called his father would put her in a prominent position in the imperial city of Wuqi Kingdom, he would naturally trust her ability. In the past period of time, Shang Lingyu has indeed done a lot of things that seem very difficult for Xiao Fengming. It can be said that this woman's appearance is completely different from her heart.

Xiao Fengming stood up, came to Shang Lingyu, slowed down his tone, and said, "Ling Yu, although you and I have been together for a short time, we have already done a lot of things together. If you have something to worry about, but it doesn't hurt to say. I have taken care of you before, and I will compensate you in the future. ”

Shang Lingyu was shocked when she heard this, when she first saw the man in front of her, she only thought that he was just a teenager with royal blood, but after this short period of time, Shang Lingyu already had a sense of awe for Xiao Fengming. He is like an abyss with no bottom in sight, in such a short period of time, he has sorted out so many disintegrating battles, and he has firmly occupied his place in this big chessboard that is related to the fate of countless people. If it weren't for Xiao Fengming's ability and courage to frighten the heavens, those people in the Xuehan Kingdom would not have been so anxious to send the killer to the realm of this Wuhan Country.

Shang Lingyu had already decided in his heart that Xiao Fengming would definitely become her real master in the future, so when Xiao Fengming said the word "compensation", Shang Lingyu suddenly understood that Xiao Fengming was telling her that he had not yet regarded her as his confidant. In his heart, she Shang Lingyu is still the emperor's person after all.

Shang Lingyu was anxious in her heart, what she wanted to say just now didn't seem to be so important compared to her current situation.

There was no way, Shang Lingyu had no choice but to take a step back and change the topic, "I heard that in the past few days, those children of royal princes, nobles and rich families will return to the imperial city from Halfe Academy one after another, and this imperial city must be lively again." Young master, Ling Yu is worried that your current status will be ...... by the mouth"

Xiao Fengming heard her say this, and knew that she was not ready to say those words that she hesitated about. Xiao Fengming glanced at her and said coldly, "You don't have to worry about these things, you just need to find out about the affairs of Chufu Building." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and drove Shang Lingyu away.

Sitting back at the desk alone, Xiao Fengming couldn't help but sigh lightly. Shang Lingyu's thoughts of asking for the protection of the Lord had already been seen through, and he didn't want to pay attention to them at all now. Compared with these bad things, Xiao Fengming cares more about Xiao Lingxiao's opinion of him.

If that person doesn't give him his sincerity, even if everyone in the world cries and looks forward to following him, it is meaningless.

What should I do to make her look at him more and have more attachment to him...... What was going on in her mind......

"Master, tell me, what does that kid think in his heart? I, as a stepmother, have some things that are really not good for her, and I can't fulfill my responsibility of discipline, so I really have my difficulties......" After the eldest lady said this, she deliberately held her waist and sighed, making some painful expressions.

Xiao Shuyong was originally a little irritable, but looking at the eldest lady's upright stomach, he immediately forced himself to show a smile, stepped forward to help the eldest lady sit down on the upholstered chair, and said, "I will deal with the IOU by myself, and I will also go to my mother's side to explain this matter, it has nothing to do with you." You are in charge of the appropriate size of the family, and your mother sees it in your eyes, if you can add a boy to the Xiao family, your mother will naturally no longer bother you about those trivial matters. ”

The eldest lady scolded in her heart when she heard this, but she made a sympathetic expression on her face, "Mother blames me, too." It's all Ling Xiao, this kid is too out of line...... Master, if you want me to say, she dares to disrespect her elders like this, all because she has such a large sum of money in her hand. She bought her own property, arranged a group of unidentified men in her yard, and even socialized with some hermit and miracle doctor, these things were spread out, but they were the laughing stock of the Xiao family...... Master, you are the prime minister of the dynasty and the emperor's right-hand man, is there nothing you can do with such a daughter in the family? ”

When Xiao Shuyong heard this, his heart felt like he had been pierced with countless cactus, and he became even more irritable. If this is to treat an outsider, of course he has a way, but for his daughter, he is like he is bound hand and foot, and he can't move at all. He used all the secret tricks that could be used, and people said that tigers were poisonous and didn't eat children, and he even sent out assassins, can he still say that he didn't think of a way? In the final analysis, he still has to take into account his own and the Xiao family's face, and can't let outsiders know that he has the intention of killing his daughter and wants to swallow his daughter's huge property.

"I didn't expect that Fengming's child was blessed with a great life, and he was saved by the third brother passing by. This million taels of silver, in the final analysis, was also lost for Feng Ming, and when I have time, I will go to the third brother to talk about it. The property in Ling Xiao's hand has always been handed over to Feng Ming, she seems to be very close to the third brother, and the third brother is the most capable of dealing with such tricky things, so this matter is all handed over to him to deal with. ”

Xiao Shuyong doesn't want to get entangled in this anymore, now that the two countries are at war, the things in the court are enough to give him a headache, and no matter how much trouble there is in the inner house, it will definitely not turn the sky upside down.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shuyong bent down and reached out to touch the eldest lady's bulging belly, and said softly, "When this child is born, it will definitely bring auspiciousness." ”

Xiao Shuyong stayed with the eldest lady for a while and left. Since the eldest lady was diagnosed as pregnant, Xiao Shuyong has never spent the night at the eldest lady's place. The eldest lady sat at the table, listening to Xiao Shuyong's footsteps go away, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. She glanced down at her high bulging abdomen, and her face involuntarily showed deep disgust.

Several times at night she dreamed that the ugly man pressed on her body, squirming desperately like a puddle of rotten stinky meat, and the most disgusting part entered her body deeply, and the feeling, that breath, were haunted by her like a demon, and she couldn't get rid of it.

Waking up in the middle of the night, she could feel the occasional fetal movement in her abdomen, and every time at this time, it was as if the man was chasing after her, which made the eldest lady frightened and frightened.

Auspicious sign? The eldest lady gritted her teeth fiercely, pressed the high bulge of her abdomen with her hand, and thought to herself that this child was not an auspicious person, but the lowest evil seed. And the reason why this evil seed is in his stomach is all the fault of that slut Xiao Lingxiao! This account, she must be clear on Xiao Lingxiao!

The failure to kill Xiao Lingxiao last time was really unexpected by the eldest lady, but she didn't expect that even King Mu De and Concubine Qi would shoot together, so Xiao Lingxiao would be able to escape by taking advantage of the loophole. However, seeing that the New Year is approaching, it is time for this house to be lively.

The eldest lady glanced at her bulging belly, and her eyes were full of cold determination.

In the next few days, the eldest lady deliberately ran back and forth a few more times with her stomach back, and the old lady who saw it was a little unbearable. Although the third aunt and the eighth aunt have been following, they don't know why, as long as it is something they handle, something has to go wrong. On weekdays, the eldest lady always pretends to be virtuous and virtuous, and has never said a few aunts in front of the old lady, but this time the eldest lady seems to be unbearable, and in front of the old lady, the two aunts are counted straight to tears.

"Mother, let your daughter-in-law say something unpleasant." When the old lady drove away the third aunt and the eighth aunt, the eldest lady sat next to the old lady, lowered her voice and frowned, "This person from a small family can't afford the affairs of the mansion." On weekdays, it passed with one eye open and one eye closed, but this year is different, this year our Xiao family can no longer be laughed at in the usual etiquette. Mother, what do you say? ”

The eldest lady's words hit the old lady's heart, she frowned and sighed, and asked, "That's it for the two of them, there is no one in this mansion who can help you Zhang Luo...... How do you say? ”

The eldest lady hesitated and whispered, "Originally, Huanyu and Huanxue could help me every year, but ......" Speaking of this, she deliberately lowered her head, and it took a long time before she raised her head again, and said, "Although Lingxiao's child doesn't know the rules very well, I see that she speaks and does things very properly, mother, it's better to let her help me, so that she can make her more or less sympathetic to this family." ”

As soon as the old lady heard the eldest lady mention Xiao Lingxiaolai, she was secretly angry in her heart. But when she thought about it, what the eldest lady said was not unreasonable. In the past six months, Xiao Lingxiao has passed a lot of hurdles, but she doesn't know how to do things. In addition, the old lady touched her nose last time in order to get the business in her hands, and now there is no way to watch her run out. If she is asked to help the family, she may be chained.

"Ling Xiao is stubborn and difficult to control, if you think she can help you, you can send someone to inform her, just say that I said it, no one from the descendants of the Xiao family can stand idly by and watch this matter during the New Year." The old lady sighed again.

The eldest lady also sighed lightly with the old lady, but the corners of her mouth involuntarily raised slightly.

Xiao Lingxiao, you have tens of millions of abilities outside, but in this house, you are just a yellow-haired girl. The eldest lady thought to herself, this time I will personally take action to see if you die or not!
