Shi Niang shook her head slightly, and immediately denied her inference.

Three years ago, Xu Lingyi was in Miaojiang...... The timing is wrong!

Moreover, since this child is kept outside, there must be someone around to take care of him. As long as he provides money in time, who dares to hit the child. Besides, he's not a stingy person when it comes to money.

Or is it that something happened to the biological mother?

Thinking together, Eleven Niang shook her head again.

That's even more impossible - if something happened to the child's mother, it was impossible for the people serving around him not to tell Xu Lingyi. Looking at the child's small clothes, it is obvious that no one has taken good care of him for a long time.

Moreover, at that time, Yuan Niang did everything possible to catch Xu Lingyi's handle, so that Xu Lingyi could comply...... It is impossible for Xu Lingyi to act without a trace, and Yuan Niang is not such a person who is easy to be fooled.

After thinking about it, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this child was unlikely to be Xu Lingyi's.

"How did Shadow react to that kid?" Eleven Niang groaned.

"Shocked." Amber said, "I haven't come back to my senses for a long time. Young Master Feng Qing has a short temper, thanks to Zhaoying's help. During this period, he stared at Young Master Fengqing's eyes several times. ”

In other words, I didn't know there was this child!

"What other marks do you have on the child?"

Amber was puzzled for a moment.

Eleven Niang reminded her: "I hung a jade pendant, or wore a small bracelet or something." ”

Amber understood: "No, nothing. After thinking about it, he recalled, "The clothes are ordinary red silk for two or two or three cents, and inside is cotton cloth for one or two or eight cents...... They are all the colors on the market. The shoes are very delicate, and either the people who make the shoes are very good at craftsmanship, or they buy them in shoe shops. ”

In other words, everything on this child can be bought with money.

Eleven Niang pondered, and was about to ask again, when a little maid said through the curtain: "Madam, Master Hou is back!" ”

She hurriedly glanced at Amber, put on her shoes while getting off the kang, and whispered to Amber: "Look and talk." ”

Amber glanced at Eleven Niang deeply, nodded and said, "Madame, don't worry, the slave can save it." It will definitely not make Hou Ye angry. ”

She has always been steady, Eleven Niang put her mind at ease, and just put on her shoes and stood up, Xu Lingyi walked in quickly.

His expression was awe-inspiring, but there was a faint tiredness between his eyebrows.

"Master Hou is back!" Eleven Niang stepped forward and bowed, personally helped him untie his cloak, and welcomed him to the window kang to sit down.

Amber took the cloak and handed it to the little maid, went to make hot tea and came in, and heard Eleven Niang whispering to Xu Lingyi: "...... People are in Banyuepan, and Holly and Hama Ju are taking care of them over there. Amber just came over to talk. Hou Ye is going to take a look? Or do you want to ask Amber? ”

"Half Moon Pan?" Xu Lingyi's face was full of consternation, "Why did you put the child there?" ”

Amber's heart tightened.

Eleven Niang looked very embarrassed: "Such a big living person, and it's not an object, I want to hide it from everyone, and the concubine has thought about all the places in the house that can and can't live, except for Banyuepan, there is really no better place." Speaking of which, this is still borrowing the prestige of the Hou Ye - at least no one dares to break into that place casually. The voice was a little squeamish.

Amber couldn't help but raise her eyelids and glance at Eleven Niang.

She rarely heard Madame speak to Hou Ye in such a tone.

I saw that although Shi Niang's expression was a little heavy, her eyes were shining, and she looked a little gloating.

Her heart jumped, and she hurriedly looked at Xu Lingyi.

I saw Hou Ye frowning helplessly: "Forget it, the person has already been placed there, so he will be raised there temporarily, right?" Anyway, they will send people away in two days. ”

Then she saw her wife and was stunned: "Send people away in two days?" Where to send it? ”

Hou Ye didn't answer, but only instructed his wife: "After running all morning, let Amber give me water to clean my face!" ”

Hearing Xu Lingyi call out his name, Amber hurriedly restrained her mood, bent her knees and said "yes", and went to fetch water as instructed.

Eleven Niang hurriedly said, "Has Master Hou eaten?" Do you want the concubine to tell the small kitchen to make some food and send it over? ”

Xu Lingyi shook his head: "No need, I've eaten it." Then he asked about the child: "Is there any noise?" ”

When it is time to complain, you should complain.

Eleven Niang gave a general explanation of the situation.

When Xu Lingyi heard Feng Qing bite Holly's hand, she snorted coldly, looking very displeased; When he heard that the child was injured, although his expression was calm, there was a stunned look in his eyes that could not be concealed, obviously he did not know that the child was beaten; Hearing that the child had fallen asleep without eating, he frowned again.

"I'll reward holly with twenty taels of silver. As for the child's injury, I'll let Mr. Bai take care of it. You don't have to worry about it. ”

Eleven Niang whispered "yes".

The amber had already been fetched, Xu Lingyi went to the clean room to freshen up, and changed into a half-new blue brocade forged cotton straight jacket that she wore at home.

"What did my mother say?" He asked, taking off his shoes and putting on the kang.

Eleven Niang squatted down to help him take off his shoes, and said, "My mother only said that I would go to her old man's house when you came back." ”

Xu Lingyi nodded, and leaned on the big pillow that Eleven Niang was leaning on just now.

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

Isn't he going to discuss such a big matter with Mrs. Tai?

The residual heat on the mattress made Xu Lingyi's tense expression relaxed, and the fragrance of tea that pointed to the bottom of his heart flashed with a trace of satisfaction and comfort in his eyes. But looking at Shi Niang's confused gaze, and then thinking of the child in the half-moon pan, he couldn't help but show a little embarrassment.

"Eleven Niang." He looked at her sincerely, and his tone was a little deliberate, "I was confused. The child's affairs were not well thought out. I just thought that since he was a child of the Xu family, he couldn't be allowed to grow up in that pickled place, and finally become a prostitute and the like......"

Eleven Niang's heart was shocked.

There is really something wrong with this child's biological mother!

And Xu Lingyi saw that his wife's face changed slightly, and he was a little uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "This matter should have been discussed with you in advance." But the situation at that time was special, the child's biological mother died early, and they hid it from us, just blindly asking for money. This year, I owed gambling debts and borrowed usury, and I took a risk to sell my child and prepare to run. If I hadn't arrived in time......" he said with a bitter expression on his face, "I dare to shout when I see it, I'm afraid that the person who buys the child is also a caring person." I was afraid that it would not end well if the matter spread, so I had to take it back for the time being......"

Xu Lingyi came back with a child like this, and there was no word of explanation, and Eleven Niang was indeed a little uncomfortable. Now that I see him bowing his head, and the matter has come to this point, it's not good not to buy his face. Just be a good person to the end. smiled and said: "Master Hou's mood can be imagined. In any case, it is always your own blood and bones, if you are good at giving birth and raising, even if you don't recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, you can just have something to eat seriously. But if you fall into an unbearable place because of this, you can't help but feel pain in your heart. ”

Xu Lingyi saw that her tone was softened, and she was greatly relieved: "What Madame said is extremely true. ”

Eleven Niang had other thoughts.

He cut it first, and when he thought about it, it was because he had limited trust in himself. Otherwise, the child will explain to himself as soon as he brings it back. Judging from the current situation, he will be in charge at the beginning of spring next year. At that time, there will be more things, and it will inevitably involve or endanger the interests of the old people in the house, I am a stepfamily, a concubine, and there is a lady on top of my head, it is difficult to overwhelm those mothers who are in charge of affairs from the identity, and I can only win with ability. But when it comes to his position, his ability only accounts for three points, and it mainly depends on whether Mrs. Tai and Xu Lingyi support it or not. She has also observed carefully during this time, if she wants to get Mrs. Tai's support, she must get Xu Lingyi's support, and if she wants Xu Lingyi's support, she must let him trust himself without a bottom line. Otherwise, if there is a contradiction, explain it, even if Xu Lingyi is not tired, he will feel tired. Why don't you take this opportunity to show yourself and see how he reacts. can be successful, can't be successful, and I know how to get along with Xu Lingyi in the future.

The idea is certain, she immediately smiled and said: "The concubine is just worried, this child is not the Hou Ye after all, and we will make our own decisions without asking the fifth master...... I'm afraid, but the good intentions have done a bad thing! ”

Before her words fell, Xu Lingyi's face was already full of shock.

He stared at her with a pair of big phoenix eyes: "You ......"

There was no turning back from the bow.

Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi with a smile: "I don't dare to say anything else." But if it is Hou Ye's child, no matter how bad it is, Hou Ye will protect him thoroughly, and no one will dare to beat him like this......"

Xu Lingyi smiled bitterly, but her gaze gradually turned into relief: "Silent words......"

Very embarrassed and sighed.

Eleven Niang smiled slightly.

I'm still a little lucky.

She continued to play the role of heart-to-heart: "There are five brothers and sisters there. Sooner or later, the matter would reach her ears. She's a double now. If there is a case, how can we explain to the Marquis of Dingnan......"

"You don't have to worry about that." Xu Lingyi said, "I went to the Dingnan Hou Mansion early this morning. After all, it's a love affair before marriage. Although the old marquis was a little unhappy when he found out, he later heard that Xiao Wu broke off after marrying Danyang. That's why the other party is dissatisfied. The old marquis's anger also disappeared. He also took the initiative to discuss with me and temporarily concealed this from Danyang in advance. I'll talk about it after she gives birth. ”

The son-in-law had an illegitimate child, and the father-in-law not only did not blame, but thought that the son-in-law was lost and felt happy, and took the initiative to help the son-in-law hide from his daughter......

Although she knew that this was caused by the atmosphere of this society, Eleven Niang still felt a little awkward.

"However, how do you know that this kid is Xiao Wu?" Xu Lingyi looked at her with interest, her expression was very relaxed, as if she was chatting with an old friend. Since his wife has already guessed Xiangzhen through a few words, it makes no sense for him to hold on to his brother's face in front of her, "I also specially instructed Xiao Wu that I will help him do this matter, and he will do whatever he wants." I'm afraid that he will be scared in his heart, so he has been holding back and not losing his temper...... "That's what he said, but when he mentioned this matter, his face still darkened.

"The child looks exactly the same as the Xu family." Eleven Niang said, "The third master is a proper person, and he can't do this kind of thing." Our fourth master is arrogant, if you fancy any young lady, it is still possible......" She was half joking and half coaxing him, "then it can only be the fifth master." ”

Looking at her with a few ridiculous smiles, Xu Lingyi suddenly thought of Qiao Lianfang.

I don't know why, he blushed and explained unconsciously.

“…… At that time, I drank a little fumigation, and I was at my own home, so I didn't pay much attention to it...... Later, I heard a woman talking in the hall, as if her skirt was torn, and a little maid led someone here to change her skirt...... At that time, I just thought that since I could come to this small courtyard, it would naturally be a good thing for the family. The person has already entered the house, the maid has left again, and I will speak again, but I am afraid that others will not be able to get off the stage...... hurriedly hid behind the screen, thinking that when she changed her skirt and went out, she would naturally pass without a trace...... Who knew that Aunt Qiao suddenly exclaimed...... I had to report myself through the screen, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside. I was in a hurry, and I didn't listen carefully, so I scolded and tried to scare the people away...... And then you know, it's ......"
