Anyone who encounters this situation will panic!

Xu Lingyi was feeling annoyed, and didn't pay much attention to Shiyi Niang's strange behavior. He just said coldly: "Don't ask so many questions. Just follow my instructions and find a few tight-lipped mothers to take care of him!"

Eleventh Lady calmed down all of a sudden.

What's the point of asking these questions now?

The important thing is what does Xu Lingyi want to do?

"Where should I keep it?" She heard her own voice calm and composed, rational and cool. "There are many people in my house, so I'm afraid it might be inconvenient. How about we find a place in the garden temporarily? The Fifth Madam lives in the northwest corner, and Banyuepan is in the northeast corner. The Fifth Madam's place is bustling with people coming and going..."

It suggested to him that the northeast corner was the quietest and least risky.

"Just do whatever you want." Xu Lingyi said solemnly, "Just keep it a secret from your family for now."

Keep it a secret from the family for now... That is to say, the rest of the family doesn't know yet. Considering that he carried the child in a bundle like carrying something and handed it to her, can it be said that Xu Lingyi still trusts me so far!

It seems that I worried for nothing before!

Shiyi Niang felt relieved. Then she thought that there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world, not to mention a living person, or a child who knows nothing about the world, crying is normal... But this is the task Xu Lingyi gave her.

She said seriously: "I will do my best."

Xu Lingyi looked at her face and said, "Change my clothes. I need to go out for a while."

Is it about this child?

Eleventh Lady guessed and reminded Xu Lingyi quietly: "My Lord, your foot paralysis..."

"I know what's going on!" Xu Lingyi said in a deep voice, "Just take good care of the child!"

His attitude was already very clear. Eleventh Lady said nothing more, but she was worried that the two of them would go to the bathroom and the child would run around.

"Do you want to ask someone to come in and look after the child?" She stepped forward to help Xu Lingyi take off his coat.

Xu Lingyi nodded: "Who do you think you can trust the most? Just call her in!"

Eleventh Lady responded softly and asked someone to call Dongqing over.

It's not that she thinks the others are not loyal enough, but Dongqing has many brothers and sisters, and she has experience in raising children. When Dongqing walked in and saw a child with the same phoenix eyes as Xu Lingyi, she was so scared that she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Eleventh Lady herself didn't understand the situation, let alone explain it to Dong Qing, so she could only tell her: "Take good care of the child, don't let him cry, and don't let him run around and alarm the people outside."

Dong Qing looked at her and nodded blankly, as if she had not yet fully recovered from her shock. Shiyi Niang was a little worried that she could not control the situation, but she could not delay any longer as Xu Lingyi had already strode into the bathroom, so she could only emphasize again, "Don't let anyone outside know that there is a child in the room," and then hurriedly followed him in.

During this time, she tested Xu Lingyi: "What is this child's name? How should we address him?"

Xu Lingyi's face was tense, and after a while he said, "Say Feng Qing!"

Feng Qing... Is she a girl? I don't think so. Or is she a boy? She seems a little unstable.

She boldly asked, "How old is the child? Is it a boy or a girl? Why didn't you bring the nurse with you?"

Xu Lingyi pursed his lips tightly, his eyes flashing with coldness, and lowered his head to wash his face.

Eleventh Lady knew what was going on when she heard it, so she stopped asking questions and helped him change into a dark blue silk robe engraved with precious flowers, then sent him out of the brothel.

Beside the kang, Dongqing and the child were still staring at each other in the same posture as when they entered the bathroom.

Seeing the two men come out, Dong Qing was obviously relieved and hurriedly explained: "He didn't let me touch him, and I was afraid he would make a scene, so I had to watch from the side." He explained why he had been standing by the kang.

However, Eleventh Lady discovered that the child's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Lingyi, and there was some joy in his eyes.

She remained calm and smiled, "He just came here, so he's a bit shy. It's a good thing as long as he doesn't make a fuss." She was also explaining to Xu Lingyi in a tactful way that raising a child was not an easy task. If something happened in the future, it wouldn't necessarily be all her fault.

Xu Lingyi listened and nodded, accepting Shiyi Niang's explanation. He told her, "You don't have to send me off. Just take care of the child. If I'm not back by noon, tell mother that I went to Lord Wang Li's residence early in the morning and will be back later."

Eleventh Lady nodded and escorted him out of the inner room. When she turned around, she saw the child with tears in his eyes, staring at the still shaking door curtain.

Her heart moved, and she stepped forward softly: "The Marquis said your name is Feng Qing. What does your mother usually call you? Is she Feng Qing directly? Or does she have another nickname?"

The child, however, looked frightened and moved towards the window nervously - as if she was a bad guy who was going to bully him.

"Then can I call you Feng Qing?" Eleventh Lady sat down on the edge of the kang with a gentle smile.

The child suddenly hugged the pillow beside him and held it against his chest, taking a defensive stance.

"Madam, your question is useless." Dong Qing said with some dissatisfaction, "I just asked him for a long time, but he didn't say a word."

"Not a single word?" Eleventh Lady asked curiously.

Dong Qing nodded: "He didn't make a sound." Then he looked surprised, "Madam, do you think he is a mute?"

Eleventh Lady thought that Xu Lingyi had carried him in in a bundle, and he seemed to be motionless when he was in the bundle.

A two or three-year-old child, being carried in a bag and going nowhere, but not saying a word... This is too strange. Is there really something wrong? But looking at his lively eyes, it doesn't seem like there is a problem?

As Eleventh Lady was thinking, she saw Dong Qing reaching out to pull the child: "Madam is asking you a question! If you don't answer well, you won't be able to eat candy later?" The amplitude of the action was quite large.

The child suddenly screamed and kicked Holly.

Both of them were startled.

Immediately, a maid asked through the curtain: "Madam, do you need my help?"

Dongqing no longer cared about anything and went forward to cover the child's mouth, and the sharp screams turned into soft whimpers.

Eleventh Lady was also afraid of attracting people, so she did not stop him. She just replied to the maid: "I have something to do here, please let Amber in."

The little maidservant responded and left.

Holly let out an “Ouch” and let go.

When Eleventh Lady looked over, she saw that the child had actually bitten Dongqing's palm so hard that it caused blood to form.

This kid is so cruel!

Eleventh Lady was stunned. She took a handkerchief to wrap Dongqing's hands, and then glanced at the child named Feng Qing.

He was staring at her fearfully and fiercely, like a small animal caught in a trap.

"Madam, this child needs to be taught a lesson!" Dong Qing's face turned pale. "I have seven or eight brothers and sisters in my family, and none of them bites people when they see them..."

As she was talking, Amber came in.

Seeing the scene in the room, he also stood there: "Madam, what is going on?"

Eleventh Lady smiled bitterly and briefly recounted what had happened. During this time, Feng Qing had been hiding in front of the window, holding the large pillow against his chest and looking at them warily.

"Could it be the Marquis's child?" Amber looked at the child's facial features carefully.

"What should we do?" Dong Qing became anxious when she heard this. "The child is only two or three years old. At this age, the eldest aunt is very ill... No wonder the Marquis is reluctant to bring the child into the mansion!"

Eleventh Lady felt a severe headache.

It’s not that she was afraid that the child was Xu Lingyi’s. Although Xu Lingyi only brought the child and not the mother, and even did not bring back the servants around the child, it showed that the child’s mother was not in the limelight, and her family background might not be as good as Xu Siyu’s. He was not the eldest son, and he could not threaten Zhun Ge at all... She was worried that she would not be able to explain to Xu Lingyi - since he asked her to keep it a secret from the family for the time being and brought the child back, it meant that he wanted to acknowledge the child, but there were certain obstacles, so she could not let the child return to the family openly at this time. He ran away despite his foot paralysis. In all likelihood, he went to run around for the child’s affairs, and he might even fabricate a false identity for the child. So before the matter is resolved, of course, the fewer people who know about the existence of this child, the better...

Eleventh Lady was lost in thoughts.

But how can I hide it from my family? Apart from other things, how to get the child to the back garden is a big problem. She doesn't have Xu Lingyi's strength to carry the child in with one hand. Even if she has this strength, how can she explain it to others... She thought about it. Why not learn from Xu Lingyi's method and use something to carry the child to Banyuepan.

Thinking that there was suddenly a child of unknown origin in Banyuepan, which was regarded as a holy place by Xu Lingyi... she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, with a kind of mischievous pleasure.

Yes, that’s what we do!

Anyway, I have already said that the northeast corner is the quietest...

Shiyi Niang ignored Dongqing's chattering and discussed with Amber: "Is there anything like a rattan basket? Put the child in the rattan basket and have the maid carry it to Banyuepan. Say that the Marquis asked to send some daily necessities. Then find an honest and reliable person to serve in Banyuepan. We'll talk about it after the Marquis comes back!"

"Banyuepan?" Dongqing's face turned even paler. "Isn't that the Marquis' study? No outsiders are allowed to enter. If the Marquis knew about this, he would probably get very angry. Besides, Banyuepan is only a quarter of an hour away from here. It's not difficult to let my mother serve there, but what about the meals? What about the daily laundry? It's unacceptable that children's clothes suddenly appeared..."

Amber pondered and said, "Madam, I think your idea is good. Anyway, ordinary people don't dare to go to Banyuepan. Even if there is any noise, no one dares to run in casually. As for food, the last time I went to look for the marquis, I saw a small kitchen over there. The east corner door leads directly to the alley of the outer courtyard. We can cook there. As for daily laundry, find a way to hang it behind the house. There will always be a sheltered place!"

"No, no." Dong Qing still felt it was inappropriate, "That's the Marquis's study..."

Eleventh Lady smiled and said, "He can leave us a child like this, why can't we use his Banyue Pan... Is this the trouble I caused?"

Seeing the smile on Eleventh Lady's face, Amber couldn't help but smile too. But she was still a little worried: "Madam, why don't you discuss this with the Marquis?"

For men, this is a romantic debt... If handled well, it might even be passed down as a good story. Eleventh Lady had no room to speak.

But she could secretly cut a hole in the brocade robe to make Xu Lingyi a little distressed!

Thinking of this, she suddenly became more energetic: "Amber, go and find a rattan basket!"
