That evening, Sheng Huaizhong, who rarely allowed himself to be carried to the main courtyard, seemed to have returned to his former self, a warm smile plastered on his face as he cared for his three children with tenderness and care. Hong'er, after all, had been pampered by Sheng Huaizhong for years, and seeing him caress her like before, she smiled so brightly that her teeth showed. Yun'er, who had also been held by Sheng Huaizhong for a while, began to call him "Daddy" as sweetly as before.
Sheng Huaizhong even specifically tested Sheng Wei's homework. Li Yuxin watched Sheng Wei answer the questions fluently and without arrogance. Sheng Wei didn't buy Sheng Huaizhong's sudden sugar-coated bullet. Li Yuxin was so happy that she drank an extra bowl of soup.
After the long-awaited reunion dinner, Hong'er and Yun'er were taken back to their rooms by Liu's mother. Sheng Wei returned to the front yard, and Sheng Huaizhong followed Li Yuxin into the main room. Li Yuxin was unhappy to see Sheng Wei like this, so she sat down in the outer room and waited to see what tricks he would play.
Seeing that Li Yuxin did not enter the inner room, Sheng Huaizhong followed suit and sat down in the outer room. The two sat on either side, and for a while, there was no sound in the room. Sheng Huaizhong saw that Li Yuxin was silent, only looking down at the sky-blue teacup on the table, so he coughed and said, "Xin Niang, I was led astray some time ago. Your husband is here to apologize to you." After saying this, Sheng Huaizhong bowed and apologized to Li Yuxin. Li Yuxin did not expect Sheng Huaizhong to play such a trick, and for a moment she did not know what to say.
Seeing Li Yuxin was stunned and speechless, Sheng Huaizhong continued, "Xin Niang, Wei Ge'er is old enough and will soon take the provincial examination. Parents who love their children always plan for them. I, your husband, have finally come to my senses after seeing Wei Ge'er study hard day and night. Xin Niang, don't worry, your husband will never do the same stupid things as before. From now on, no matter how many women there are in the family, you will be the mistress of the household."
Li Yuxin sneered in her heart, thinking that Sheng Huaizhong had turned over a new leaf. It turned out that he was going to bring another woman in. What's the big deal? He also laid a lot of groundwork and almost became the best father in the world. Li Yuxin said calmly: "Master is right."
Sheng Huaizhong's throat choked. He hadn't expected the lady to be so stubborn now. He decided to stop pretending and said, "In three days, I will be welcoming a concubine into the family. Please prepare for it."
Li Yuxin thought about the current situation in the Sheng family's backyard. One concubine had been caught cheating and left, another was under house arrest, and the only one left was an elderly concubine, who was given to Sheng Huai as a concubine by the old lady. He could welcome a concubine, but Sheng Piao could no longer keep Concubine Wu as his nephew. Li Yuxin thought for a while and said, "It's all my responsibility, Master. Don't worry." "But should Yan, the concubine who has served in your room for many years, be made a concubine in advance? She has always been good-natured and came from the old lady's side. She is more suitable for the second young lady."
Sheng Huaizhong changed his posture. One of his legs was completely useless now, so he had to change his posture after sitting for a while. Sheng Huaizhong asked in confusion, "Isn't the second girl raised by Concubine Wu?"
Li Yuxin was too lazy to speak, so she winked at Nanfeng, who then told her about Aunt Wu's actions. Sheng Huaizhong's face turned pale after hearing this: "Xinniang, you are still too kind. How dare she treat my child so carelessly!"
Li Yuxin didn't comment. Sheng Huaizhong thought the punishment was too light, so he added a little more. Seeing that Li Yuxin didn't say anything, Sheng Huaizhong continued, "After several years of not having any children, Concubine Wu sold her off."
Li Yuxin raised her head and looked straight at Sheng Huaizhong: "Master, you have favored Concubine Wu for the past two years. Selling a concubine will not bring good things to you."
Sheng Huaizhong said disdainfully: "It is her blessing to be favored by me."
Li Yuxin was not a kind person who was always kind to everyone she met. Sheng Huaizhong could do whatever he wanted with his concubine, but now she once again truly felt Sheng Huaizhong's ruthlessness.
