After the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion awakened, she no longer wanted to be the mistress o

"A ten-year-old?"

Xiuzhu paused, then shook her head, "Madam, I haven't seen any children coming in or out. Is there an outsider in the yard?"

"How dare you! What outsider? He is our young master. If you want to talk about outsiders, then you are the one here, right?"

"Madam, calm down!"

Cui'er's words made Xiuzhu very unhappy, but she still had to endure it. Now a maid dared to shit on her head. She swore that the moment she became the mistress, she would be the first to take action against this dead girl. Let's see if she dared to yell at her again?

"Are you sure you didn't see any children?"

Li Qingwan's words made Xiuzhu bow even more, "Madam, I really didn't see it!"

"So where did you go before this?"

what?

"You are not in the courtyard. This lady asks you, where have you been?"

Sure enough, Li Qingwan was going to cause trouble for her, which made Xiuzhu very nervous. She hesitated a little. After all, she was not there before, she had secretly gone to see her son!

But Li Qingwan must not know about this, otherwise she will be dead!

"Madam, I am a poor nun..."

"How dare you! I told you to stay in the courtyard, but you dared to run around. I won't tolerate you this time. Someone, come here!"

"Madam, please don't do that. I know I was wrong!"

Xiuzhu kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, but Li Qingwan insisted on punishing her. "Take the young master away and give him thirty lashes!"

What, thirty lashes?

Isn't this going to kill her?

At this moment, Xiuzhu panicked, "Madam, please spare me, Madam, please spare me!"

"take away!"

Li Qingwan wanted to have Xiuzhu taken away for punishment, but she didn't look for her brother Hu'er, which made Cui'er confused, "Madam, shouldn't we look for the young master?"

Li Qingwan seemed to know where Hu'er was, "Why don't you drag him away?"

"Let me go, let me go!"

Just as Xiuzhu was about to be dragged away, suddenly, an anxious voice came from not far away, "Madam, calm down, the old lady wants to see you!"

"Madam, please save this poor nun!"

Nanny Zhang brought people over. When she saw Xiuzhu was about to be dragged away, she immediately walked to Li Qingwan and said, "Greetings, madam. Madam, the old lady wants to see you. Please go to the hall immediately."

"Madam Zhang, I have to deal with this little nun who likes to run around first. After I deal with her, I will..."

"Madam, you should go to the old lady first. Maybe the person you are looking for is there too."

Sure enough, Li Qingwan guessed correctly. The Sima Mansion was very small, and Hu'er would not run around on his first visit. The only possibility was that he was taken away by the old woman.

And she was deliberately making trouble for the mistress, with the purpose of using this incident to force the old woman to submit!

Unexpectedly, she really cares about the mistress!

So, she went with the flow and asked, "You mean, Hu'er is with the old lady?"

Aunt Zhang was a little embarrassed, "You'd better go and take a look, the old lady is very angry!"

"What a coincidence! My wife is also very angry now!"

After saying this, she immediately ordered the servants, "Take this little master with you."

In the main hall of Sima Mansion, when Li Qingwan brought people in, she saw Hu'er kneeling on the ground trembling with fear. At this moment, her heart was broken.

"Tiger!"

"Sister!"

When Hu Er saw his elder sister coming, he immediately stood up and ran into her arms, "Where have you been, elder sister? I'm scared!"

"Don't be afraid, my elder sister is back."

Li Qingwan gently let go of Hu'er, and then led him in front of the old woman. The old woman felt it was unlucky to see the brother and sister holding hands.

"Tiger is here to meet the old lady!"

As soon as Li Qingwan arrived, she asked Hu'er to pay respect to the old lady. Hu'er was a little afraid of the old lady, but he still paid respect to the old lady according to her wishes, "Hu'er pays respect to the old lady."

"Qingwan, what's going on? This child calls you elder sister?"

The old woman didn't expect that she would bring her family members without saying a word. Doesn't she take her, the mother-in-law, seriously at all?

Therefore, she had to give Li Qingwan a warning. Although she wanted to coax her into being a stepping stone, it did not mean that Li Qingwan could ignore her existence.

In the Sima family, she still has the final say!

"Mother, this child is my eldest uncle's son and also my cousin. My eldest uncle and aunt have passed away. I felt sorry for him and wanted to take him in. Of course, I wanted to bring Hu'er to meet you, but I didn't expect you to meet the mountain first."

The meaning of this was very clear. The old woman looked down on her family and wanted to bring the people here to be looked at first. The old woman was naturally a little embarrassed, so she coughed. She glanced at the pale and skinny Hu'er and felt disgusted no matter how she looked at him.

This child is only a few years older than Run'er, so she can't let her stay. Otherwise, what if Li Qingwan favors her own brother in the future and doesn't care as much about Run'er as before?

"Qingwan, is this child really your brother? Don't make the mistake. There have been many disaster victims coming in these days, and they all carry the plague virus. To be on the safe side, you should first..."

"Don't worry, Hu'er doesn't have the virus. I've checked his body. Besides, if he really has the virus, he has been here for several hours. Wouldn't everyone in our Sima Mansion be sick?"

"This……"

The old woman was speechless. "How are you going to settle him?"

Li Qingwan said that she wanted to stay in Sima Mansion, but the old woman pretended to be dumb and didn't hear her. However, she would not do as she wished. No one could stop her from doing what she wanted!

"This is what my wife thinks. Hu'er only has me as his relative now, so naturally I have to raise him well. He is not much different from Run'er. When the time comes, let them learn etiquette together and grow up together. What do you think?"

When Madam Sima heard this, her brows furrowed even more. She had wanted Li Qingwan to give up, but she didn't expect that she was determined to take her to the Sima Mansion.

This made the old woman unhappy. "He is just your cousin, not your biological brother. It may not be appropriate to keep him in the Sima family like this. Qingwan, what do you think?"

The old woman wanted to force her to send Hu'er away, but how could Li Qingwan do as she wished? She had harmed Hu'er in her previous life, and in this life, she would do anything to protect her.

"Mother means that after I marry into the Sima Mansion, I will no longer have anything to do with the Li family. So, I dare not go to see my uncle anymore. After all, I am now a member of the Sima family, and it is no longer appropriate for me to ask my uncle for help. Is this what you mean?"

"Qingwan, how can you say that? When did mother tell you that you can't have anything to do with the Li family? You misunderstood what mother meant. I just wanted to say..."

"Someone, bring her up!"

what?

When the old woman heard this, who should she bring?

"We will discuss Tiger's matter later. Now I have to consult you first and then deal with the disobedient little nun!"

what?

"Little nun?"
