"What, Mrs. Xi summoned me to see you?" Fang Zhou'er couldn't help but be taken aback when she received Xiao Cui's message.

Fang Hazy's wife, probably after his mother died of illness many years ago, Xi Manyun is Fang Hazy's second wife and has a son with Fang Hazy.

I heard that Xi Manyun is an indifferent person, after marrying into the Fang family, he did not choose a good position in the core, and deliberately chose a secluded corner to send servants to plant flowers and grass all day long, and he stayed at home all day long, neither mixing with the Fang family's business, nor almost dealing with anyone other than the maid, and he had been safe for more than a year, and it was a bit strange to suddenly summon himself this time.

Another thing that has to be mentioned is her identity, which is also the most important reason for Fang Hazy to marry her.

Xi Manyun is Xi Baili's only daughter, and Xi Baili is the current head of the Dushengmen, who has huge social resources and monk power, and even the federal president has to respect him for three points when he sees him.

Looking at it this way, she is not only the young master of Dushengmen, but also Fang Zhou'er's stepmother, so even if she is reluctant, but it is reasonable, Fang Zhou'er has to go.

After finishing the dressing, Fang Zhou'er followed the bamboo forest path to the Jiuqu Corridor, crossed the stone bridge and turned right and walked for about ten minutes to Xi Manyun's residence.

"Zhou'er meets her mother. At the gate of the small courtyard, Fang Zhou'er respectfully entered the door.

She is extremely slanderous in her heart, after all, she grew up in an orphanage, and she is used to living a fatherless and motherless life, and now she has a cheap father, but her biological mother has long since passed away, and she has to call this unknown person "Mother" under the constraints of this so-called etiquette, which makes her feel very false, but in order to be recognized by the Fang Mansion and to see her partner as soon as possible, she maturely knows that she must do this.

"Zhou'er meets her mother. No one responded for a long time, so Fang Zhou'er shouted again.

"Where did the country girl come from, shouting at the door? The viper stepped out of the room and glanced obliquely at the ark.

"Are you Mrs. Xi?" Fang Zhou'er looked at the graceful woman in front of her, the viper pattern tattooed on one of her arms looked a little evil, and it was difficult to associate her with the indifferent Xi Manyun in everyone's mouth.

"I am Mrs. Xi's personal bodyguard, and she has stopped from suddenly feeling unwell today. Viper said.

"In that case, the boat will come back another day. Fang Zhou'er Bingxue was smart, and he had already seen some clues, so he turned around and left.

"What a rude girl, just come and go, you think this is your backyard?" the viper retorted in a raised voice.

In a way, this is indeed my backyard...... Fang Zhou'er muttered in her heart, but she was not stupid enough to say it directly, so she just stood there and waited for her next words.

"Filial piety comes first, Mrs. Xi is now your stepmother, now she is unwell, since you are here, you should be filial piety, take good care of her food and clothing, on the one hand, you can cultivate feelings, on the other hand, you can change your habits, after all, there is always a process of adaptation from the countryside to the big city. ”

"Let's change into this outfit, it's not appropriate for you to dress like this now. Viper looked at Fang Zhou'er's lily skirt and couldn't help frowning, only to see her take out a set of coarse cloth clothes worn by servants and throw them in front of Fang Zhou'er.

A little grievance and sadness surged into her heart with the insulting action of the viper, although Fang Zhou'er wanted to explode in her heart, but she understood that this was exactly what the other party was happy to see, and she didn't understand why Mrs. Xi was so difficult for herself, but it was obviously already obviously hostile.

"Zhou'er doesn't know where she did not do well to offend Mrs. Xi, please correct. Instead of looking at the viper, Fang Zhou'er raised his voice and said loudly, trying to get the sound into the room.

"You country girl is quite high-minded, after a period of time, do you really think that you have become a swan? Or do you think Sect Master Fang will support you and cheer you up?"

"If you don't want to be filial, I won't force you, anyway, I didn't expect you to know how to be polite and grateful. The viper snorted, a contemptuous smile on his lips.

"You ......" Fang Zhou'er was angry, he really couldn't say it, and tears suddenly welled up, rolling in his eyes.

"You have to think about your partner, you can't be angry......"

Trying to control her emotions, she bowed to the hut with the doors and windows closed, and turned away, repeating the same sentence back and forth with a blank head, until she went home and closed the door, and the tears "snapped" down like broken threads.

"Zhou'er can't fall into the hands of others, you must become strong quickly, and take Yang Ji, Donggua, Xiaohu, and Ayi into Fangfu to live a good life in the future, you can bear this grievance. She clenched her fists, looked at herself in the mirror, and said silently.

Half a month later, rumors began to ferment in the Fang Mansion.

"Have you heard? The daughter that the head of the family welcomed back last year turned against Mrs. Xi, and Mrs. Xi was unwilling to take care of her when she was sick. ”

"What's more, I also heard that she was an ordinary little girl when she was picked up, when did Fang Mansion get into it so well?

"Don't say it, don't say it! If the head of the family blames us, we ......will lose our jobs."

Such a secret and ubiquitous conversation finally reached Fang Rui's ears.

"How can this be reasonable!Why do everyone have to abide by the rules of the Fang family, but Fang Hazy's daughter can come as soon as she comes?!" In the Zuoqiu Palace, Fang Rui shouted loudly.

"Young master, Fang Hazy is the head of the Fang family, what he says is naturally what it is, and besides, he just picked up a girl to come in, and it didn't hinder ......anything," Uncle Zhong said bitterly, and he had already scolded the person who spread the rumors thousands of times in his heart.

"What's in the way, the head of the family also has to abide by the rules, our family has always had more rules than the people, when did it turn upside down!"

"What's more, I heard that the girl didn't know anything and didn't contribute anything to the other party's family, but she directly arranged the best position after entering the mansion, and Uncle Zong Yu took care of it directly, so favoritism, aren't you really afraid of chilling the hearts of the rest of the Fang family?!" Fang Rui became more irritable the more he spoke, and when he kicked over the seat next to him, his whole face was gloomy and terrifying.

"Oh, young master, don't take this matter too seriously, the city government of the head of the family must have considered many factors before making such a decision, no matter how ridiculous it seems, there must be reasonable reasons in it, besides, what are you and a girl talking about?" Uncle Zhong shook his head and sighed as he took it slowly.

"I'm going to ask the head of the house, and I must let the girl who broke the rules move out of the house, and I can't enter the house until I meet the assessment conditions. ”

Fang Rui obviously didn't listen to Uncle Zhong's words, and with a wave of his sleeves, he walked straight out.
