The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

After returning to Qingshan Courtyard, Huan Ge'er did not go back to his room directly, but followed Su Li to the side room.

As soon as he entered the door, Huan Ge'er said:

"Why are you helping me!"

Su Li smiled and said:

"That's ridiculous. You're my son, so of course I'm on your side. I told you, after I get here, I won't allow anyone else to bully you. If they dare to bully you again, I'll fight them to the death!"

Huan Ge'er's lips trembled.

In today's situation, the lightest punishment would be a beating and then being locked up in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights. The adults would not listen to his explanation of what they had decided.

In this marquis's mansion, the grandmother is hypocritical, the grandfather is utilitarian, and the ancestor is blind. There is no good person in the family.

Only this woman, whom I have only known for two days, is willing to believe in me and protect me unconditionally.

Today, he finally felt protected.

"You and I……"

He hesitated whether to call out "mother", but when the words came to his lips, they suddenly became:

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

"Disappointed? Why?"

Su Li blinked and waited for Huan Ge'er to talk about the Liujing River, but he didn't mention it at all, only saying:

"I'm afraid I won't get first place."

Well, for this matter!

Don’t be afraid, my dear son, you will be the top student in the future!

This little final exam is no problem at all!

Seeing that he didn't want to mention the matter of Liujing River, Su Li didn't plan to bring it up.

Moreover, there are techniques to raising a child.

For a kid like Huan Ge'er who has a strong internal drive, she chose to do the opposite.

So, she pretended to be fine and said calmly:

"It's okay! Don't feel pressured about this. It would be best if you could get first place. If you can't get first place, just don't be last."

"But...but you just spoke so confidently in Songhe Hall, even saying you'd sign a military order, saying you'd break my legs if I didn't get first place. You also said you'd take the exam to become a scholar in three years, and then you'd take the top spot in the imperial examination in the future..."

"Hey! We were just lying to them. If we hadn't tricked them a little bit in that situation, how would we have gotten away? Don't take it to heart!"

"Then...what if I don't pass the exam?"

"What should I do? Just leave it alone! Don't worry, I have plenty of ways to deal with them. Okay, go to bed quickly. You're tired after a day of school. Go to bed early."

Su Li started to drive people away.

She is really tired.

I worked hard for half the night last night, had a fight at night, and now I have to prepare to go back home tomorrow.

Huan Ge'er looked at her tired face and yawned continuously. He wanted to say something but swallowed it back.

This woman thought so highly of him, and fought tooth and nail to protect him, even at the cost of his reputation. He couldn't let her lose face in front of those people, no matter what.

Isn't the final exam still three months away? If I work a little harder, I'll definitely get first place and let her show off in front of those people.

Having made up his mind, Huan Ge'er bowed and took his leave. Before leaving, he said shyly:

"The boy you bought for me is quite good. I named him Stone."

After saying that, he left.

Su Li smiled and said, "Little brat."

……

In the main house, the marquis's wife was so angry that her face turned black and purple.

I really didn't expect that Su Li and Huan Ge'er, who were like enemies to each other yesterday, would fall in love with each other in just two days.

Su Li actually defended that brat so bravely!

And that little brat seemed to be very impressed by Su Li!

Originally, she wanted to deal with Huan Ge'er, humiliate Qingshan Court, and then take advantage of this momentum to talk to the Marquis about the title of Crown Prince.

Today she went to the palace and mentioned it to Concubine Wen, who said she would speak well of her to the Emperor.

But right now, the Marquis was completely bewildered by Su Li, and was still immersed in the beautiful dream that Huan Ge'er would become the top scorer in the future examination and bring fame to the Marquis' Mansion. He still had great hopes for Qingshan Courtyard, and I was afraid he would not be willing to listen to me talk about the title.

Marquis Jinyuan drank a few more glasses that night and came in groaning. Seeing his wife sitting in front of the dressing table in a daze, he said:

"Li'er is coming back tomorrow. Have you prepared any gifts for her to take back?"

What?

Gift?

The Marquis's wife didn't take this matter to heart at all.

When asked by the Marquis, he hurriedly smiled and said:

"Don't worry, my Lord. I've already asked people to prepare for such a big event as Li'er's return. Would you like to review it?"

"I trust you to do the job. Li'er suffered a great injustice when she married Heng'er. Originally, I should have taken that bastard to their house to apologize in person, but the thought of that bastard gives me a headache. I have to go there in person. Also, the gift I bring back tomorrow cannot disappoint my in-laws."

"My Lord, that's what I thought."

The Marquis' wife couldn't help but curse in her heart. The little bitch Su Li had just received 100,000 taels of silver from her, and it had only been a few days, and now she wanted her to open the treasury and bleed money!

She had to pay for this bloody meal!

There is really no point in making sense.

Seeing the Marquis talking about his son, the Marquis's wife said carefully:

"My Lord, Yan'er has been having a miserable time outside these days. Look, that incident has passed, and I think Li'er is doing well. How about letting Yan'er come back tomorrow?"

"Come back? He still has the nerve to come back? What did he say when he left? If he has the guts to leave, he should have the guts to make a living out there!"

When Marquis Jinyuan thought of his second son, he became drunk and his voice became much heavier, which frightened his wife and she kept saying:

"Yes, yes, yes, your Majesty is right. But, your Majesty, Yan'er has also been bewitched by that vixen, hasn't he? Your Majesty, Yan'er is thick-skinned and it doesn't matter if he suffers, but the child is innocent."

Speaking of children, Marquis Jin Yuan's heart softened.

Even though Pei Yan was a jerk, the child was still the bloodline of the Marquisate. He couldn't just wander around in the open without a clear understanding.

He has few offspring, so at this time he especially hopes to see his descendants flourish.

The Marquis's wife saw that there was something interesting going on and began to describe the child:

"My Lord, to be honest, I went to see him secretly yesterday. That child looks exactly like Yan'er when he was little, not to mention how cute and smart he is. If my Lord saw him, he would definitely like him."

“…” Marquis Jin Yuan lay on the bed without saying a word.

"My Lord, the child is not feeling well. He traveled all the way here from the border with his mother, and he caught a cold a while ago. I don't think he's recovered yet, and he still coughs from time to time..."

"Humph, you can take the child back. But forget about that woman!"

Marquis Jinyuan finally gave in.

The Marquis's wife quickly followed his instructions and said:

"That's for sure. I don't like that woman either. I went to the palace today to see Concubine Wen, hoping she would persuade the Emperor to issue an imperial decree granting Yan'er marriage."

Marquis Jinyuan opened his eyes and turned to look at her:

"Which girl do you like?"

"I met the daughter of the Zhenbei Marquis family at the flower viewing banquet at the Ninth Princess's residence at the end of last year. Her character and appearance are beyond reproach. Most importantly, she knows martial arts. I believe she will be able to deal with Yan'er in the future!"

Marquis Jinyuan nodded.

The Marquis of Zhenbei is a military family, and is a good match for the Marquis of Jinyuan's mansion.

I heard that his daughter has been wielding swords and guns since she was young. He used to think that such girls were really rude, but now he thinks it is just right!

That bastard should have a fierce wife at home to take care of him!

He nodded and said:

"It's up to you to handle this matter."

After saying that, he turned around and fell asleep without paying any attention.

Although the Marquis's wife was exhausted, she thought that the return gift for Su Li had not been prepared yet, so she had to drag her tired body out and work for half the night.

……

Back at Qingshan Courtyard, Nanny Li wanted Su Li to have sex with the prince again, but Su Li refused to do so. It wasn't until she promised to do it the next day when she returned home that Nanny Li finally let her go.

Since they were going back home the next day, Su Li had to make some arrangements in the evening.

Let Ya Nu and Song Zhi stay behind to look after the house.

He called Shitou over and gave him some serious instructions, asking him to follow Huan Ge'er well.

As for Xijie'er, she would naturally be taken back to her parents' home.

Su Li returned to the room and helped Pei Heng finish his important tasks as usual. After washing him, she lay on the bed and gave him a massage, reporting in a disjointed manner what happened at the banquet.

It wasn't long before she fell asleep glued to her pillow.

Listening to the steady breathing sound beside his ears, Pei Heng couldn't calm down for a long time.

He recalled that he had been drowning in illness and despair for the past three years, and had completely ignored Huan Ge'er and Xi Jie'er.

I thought that since the two children were raised in the main house, their father and mother would not treat them unfairly.

But it was just his wishful thinking.

Since Xiao Wen treats herself like this, how can she treat his children sincerely?

Now, Huan Ge'er was being framed and oppressed by them, and he could do nothing but let Su Li, a weak woman, charge forward and stand in the front. He felt extremely guilty.

He secretly vowed to get better as soon as possible and make those who treated his wife and children harshly pay the price.
