Only Shiyi Niang, Dongqing, Binju and Fengqing were left in the room.

Dongqing and Binju were both a little uncomfortable, but Shiyi Niang was the only one who looked calm and told the two of them, "Go and help Zhaoying pack up. I'll be here."

"But Young Master Feng Qing..." Bin Ju looked at Feng Qing, who was gradually running out of strength, and was very hesitant.

"I'll call you if there's anything." Eleventh Lady said lightly.

When Dongqing and Binju saw this, they had no choice but to kneel down and say "yes" and then retreat.

Shiyi Niang ignored Feng Qing, clamped his legs between her legs, and held his hands with her hands. No matter whether he struggled or was quiet, Shiyi Niang held him tightly in her arms... until he gradually lost his strength and began to breathe slightly.

"This is the last time I will ask you this." Eleventh Lady, who had mastered absolute power in the wrestling match, still spoke in a gentle voice, but it sounded full of majesty in Feng Qing's ears. "If you sit on me obediently, I will let you go. If you agree, just nod your head."

Feng Qing pursed her lips tightly and nodded after a long while.

Eleventh Lady slowly let him go.

Feng Qing moved immediately.

Eleventh Lady said coldly: "Feng Qing, we have an agreement. If you don't move, I will let you go. Otherwise, we will be on our own."

Feng Qing hesitated for a while, but finally did not move.

Eleventh Lady gently held him in her arms: "Feng Qing is so good. I like Feng Qing!" As she spoke, she stroked his back warmly.

Feng Qing's little body gradually relaxed, adjusted its posture, and lay obediently on her.

Eleventh Lady breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the snacks scattered on the floor that had not yet been cleaned up, she asked him gently, "Feng Qing, do you want some water?"

Feng Qing hesitated for a moment, then pecked the little head resting on her shoulder gently.

Eleventh Lady held Feng Qing in one hand, poured him a cup of tea with the other, and then sat on the armchair beside her to feed him water.

He gulped down the whole cup of tea in one gulp, then looked at Shiyi Niang eagerly.

Eleventh Lady smiled and asked him, "Do you want to drink more?"

He nodded.

Eleventh Lady poured him another half cup.

He drank it all in one gulp, then craned his neck to look at the snacks.

"Want some snacks?" Eleventh Lady followed his gaze.

He shook his head and then nodded.

"Do you want to put the snacks away and eat them later?" Eleventh Lady guessed.

Feng Qing nodded, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and his whole person brightened up.

Eleventh Lady smiled slightly and called Dong Qing in - Feng Qing's body immediately became a little stiff.

"Don't be afraid, she's a very good person." Eleventh Lady touched Feng Qing's head with pity, "She will take care of you in the future."

Feng Qing nodded.

"Madam," Dong Qing saw Feng Qing lying obediently in Shiyi Niang's arms, her face full of surprise, "This..."

Eleventh Lady smiled and just pointed at the messy bed: "Put away those snacks."

Holly put the snacks into the lunch box with confusion.

"Give it to me!" Eleventh Lady ordered Dongqing to give her the food box.

Dongqing handed the food box to Shiyi Niang in confusion.

Feng Qing immediately reached out and held the food box in his arms.

"Master Feng Qing..." Dong Qing opened his eyes wide.

Feng Qing thought about it and handed the food box to Shiyi Niang - he blinked his big eyes and looked at her ingratiatingly.

Eleventh Lady's heart was so soft that water seemed to drip out of it.

For Feng Qing, having enough to eat and warm clothes is the highest ideal in life. And now, he is willing to give himself the opportunity to have enough to eat, which is a trust entrusted with his life.

She shook her head and said with a smile, "Feng Qing, take the food box. When I want to eat, I'll ask Feng Qing for it. Okay?"

Feng Qing thought about it, nodded, and smiled brightly.

Eleventh Lady smiled and patted his head, saying, "Let's sit somewhere else—you broke the Marquis's bed, you need to fix it quickly."

Feng Qing nodded, and just as Shiyi Niang stood up with him in her arms, Bin Ju came in: "Madam, the Marquis is here!"

Before she finished her words, Xu Lingyi strode in. Behind him were Amber and Lin Bo.

Seeing Shiyi Niang holding Feng Qing, he was startled, and then seeing the mess on the bed, his eyes opened even wider: "What's going on?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Eleventh Lady smiled, "The bed fell down accidentally." Then she recounted what happened in a light-hearted manner.

During this time, Feng Qing kept looking at Xu Lingyi with her big eyes. Unfortunately, Xu Lingyi was listening to what Shiyi Niang said and didn't notice him at all. When he heard that the child was sleeping on the top of the bed, he looked at Feng Qing, then at Shiyi Niang, and hesitated to speak.

He first experienced the nervousness of explaining the truth to his mother, then the irritation after knowing that the child was missing, the confusion of suddenly hearing that the child had been found, and the shock of hearing about the process of searching for the child...Now looking at Feng Qing who was lying obediently in Shiyi Niang's arms, he felt that this short half hour was like a drastic change. He felt that he was worried and happy, and he didn't know what to say.

Eleventh Lady, however, cares more about the Lady Dowager.

She smiled and asked Xu Lingyi to sit in the study: "...Ask Zhaoying to help make the bed."

Xu Lingyi nodded.

Eleventh Lady then handed Feng Qing over to Dong Qing.

Feng Qing held her neck tightly.

Eleventh Lady had no choice but to say gently: "The Marquis and I have something to discuss. You and Sister Dongqing play in the hall." After saying it several times, Feng Qing reluctantly let go.

Xu Lingyi couldn't help but look at Shiyi Niang in surprise.

She seemed to be very good at taking care of children, as was Zhen Jie'er, Zhun Ge, and even the hedgehog-like Feng Qing. However, in just half an hour, her attitude towards Shiyi Niang seemed to have changed.

He went into the study thinking.

Although Eleventh Lady didn't want to delay, she didn't want to ruin the good relationship she had established with Feng Qing with great difficulty. Therefore, she didn't follow him immediately, but comforted Feng Qing for a while, watching him gradually let go, and then went into the inner room.

Zhaoying had already welcomed Xu Lingyi to sit on the big kang by the window. When she saw Shiyi Niang coming in, she immediately and quietly made another cup of tea, then put down the things she had half packed and left.

"Have you told mom?" She was sweating a little after the confrontation with Feng Qing just now, and she felt very comfortable after drinking some hot tea.

"She did." Xu Lingyi took a sip of tea and smiled bitterly. "She was stunned at first and didn't say anything for a long time. I saw something was wrong and hurried forward to comfort her, but she grabbed my hand and kept asking, 'Is it true? Is it true?'..." Then she sighed, "I don't know what to say!"

Eleventh Lady could imagine the disappointment of the Lady Dowager. Like all mothers who dote on their children, although they know that they are too indulgent to their children, they always feel that their children are different from other children, just a little more delicate and weak-willed, and will never do anything too outrageous. When things really happen, the sober feeling makes them feel even more painful. Either choose not to believe it, or have to face the reality.

"So, what did she say?"

"What else can I say?" Xu Lingyi sighed, "I blame myself for being too indulgent towards Xiaowu."

"You should also persuade her." What's the point of regretting what has happened? The important thing is to learn from it and correct the mistakes. Eleventh Lady pondered, "As the saying goes, good fortune comes with misfortune, and misfortune comes with good fortune. Even though what Fifth Master did was not good, it taught him a lesson. The important thing is not to make the same mistake again in the future."

"I think so too!" Xu Lingyi nodded, "Besides, I will have time to take care of him when I am at home."

Eleventh Lady smiled and nodded.

Xu Lingyi thought of how skillfully she held the child just now, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Eleventh Lady looked at him clearly and thought to herself, did the Madam tell him something? Did Feng Qing's situation change? With Xu Lingyi's personality, he would only show such an expression when he felt sorry for himself...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

Xu Lingyi hesitated and asked, "When you were at your mother's house, did you bring your sister with you?"

Eleventh Lady was very surprised.

Xu Lingyi smiled and said, "Oh, I saw you holding the child, it really is like that!"

Eleventh Lady pursed her lips and smiled.

In a divorce case, as long as there is no disagreement on the ownership of the children and the property, it is usually easy to get a divorce. But once it involves the ownership of the children and the property, especially the former, it will be endless and all kinds of situations may occur. As a lawyer, she sometimes asks the children for their opinions in private, and then gives feedback to the parties, trying to realize the children's wishes. Gradually, she has gained some experience in how to get along with children.

“I just love kids.”

This is the truth.

She thinks all children are angels.

There is no purer soul than them.

Perhaps because of this, they dare not enter into marriage casually, fearing that they will not be able to raise a child well.

Xu Lingyi raised his eyebrows, and there was a faint smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Eleventh Lady was ashamed.

My answer is so ambiguous...

She quickly changed the subject: "What does mother mean by Feng Qing's matter?"

When Feng Qing was mentioned, Xu Lingyi's smile gradually faded: "Mother thinks it's a good idea to let Xiangyi help take care of him. A red plum is red, a black plum is black. Xiangyi is a loyal person. If he can follow Xiangyi, he will definitely be an honest and kind person in the future."

Is this also a requirement for a bastard?

I don't seek to become famous, but I just want to be honest and do my duty.

"It's just that today is the Little New Year, and there's a lot of snow this year, so there are few people on the road. Firstly, rushing back home like this will attract attention. Secondly, there's no one suitable to take him back home... We can only wait until the market opens on the eighth day of the first lunar month."

After the market opened, business people from all over the country began to go out, and it was a mixed crowd, so it was indeed not so conspicuous.

"Until the eighth day of the first lunar month..." Eleventh Lady calculated that there were still more than ten days left. "That's a bit long!"

During the Chinese New Year, there are many guests at home, and no one can guarantee that there won’t be any who get lost or break in intentionally…

"So my mother and I discussed it for a long time and decided to send him to my second sister-in-law!"

"Xishan!" Eleventh Lady was stunned.

Xu Lingyi nodded and said helplessly: "Now it seems that this is the only way! Send the child over under the pretext of delivering things to Xishan."

It’s not your responsibility, of course that’s good.

Moreover, Eleventh Lady vaguely felt that the Second Lady would definitely take on this hot potato for the sake of the Xu family.

"I just wronged my second sister-in-law." She said, "I need to talk to her properly."

"Well!" Xu Lingyi said, "Let Chief Butler Bai go to Xishan in person early tomorrow morning." As he spoke, he stared at Shiyi Niang, "But, I'm afraid I'll have to inconvenience you with one thing!"

Eleventh Lady was shocked when she heard this.

But since Xu Lingyi had said so much, she could only take one step at a time.

"If you feel wronged or not, just give me your orders, My Lord." She said with a slight smile.

"The fewer people who know about Feng Qing's affairs, the better. I want Dong Qing to accompany the child to Xishan for a few days."
