Chapter 114 Xu Wanqing Becomes a Stepmother



Outside Zezhi Cottage, Madam Hua and her people stood not far away and asked thoughtfully, "Which young lady just entered?"

Madam Han stood aside angrily, muttering, "Who else could it be besides Princess Changle? Do you really need to go there in person?"

Madam Hua tilted her head and glared at her: "If it weren't for the people below reporting back, I wouldn't have known that you had the guts to offend Princess Lin'an!"

"She's just a little girl who's still wet behind the ears..." Mrs. Han was not convinced. She was just not prepared. Otherwise, wouldn't she have been able to trick this pretentious little girl?

Old Madam Hua shook her head. The servants came to report that Princess Changle and Princess Lin'an had come to visit one after another, and it was reasonable for her to meet them.

But before she could pack up, someone came to report that Madam Han had scolded Princess Lin'an and drove her away, and Princess Changle went straight to Zezhi Cottage after entering the house.

She brought Mrs. Han here originally to say hello to these two people, but when she suddenly heard the word "little girl", she felt a little uncomfortable.

"You are the old lady of the Hua family after all. How can an elder rush to see a younger person?" Mrs. Han saw that she was wavering and hurried to strike while the iron was hot.

"Okay." Old Madam Hua glanced at her and gave up the idea.

He only instructed the people around him: "Go and find out which family the girl who was with the princess just now belongs to."

The girl had a gentle temperament, and her every move showed the air of a noble person. She had a decent and pleasant appearance, and was a good match for Mu'er.

Old Madam Hua originally thought that it would take some time to find out these things, but she didn't expect that just as they returned to Fushou Hall, the nanny came back with the news.

"Madam, I have found out everything." The nanny said respectfully, "That person is Xu Wanqing, the eldest daughter of the Xu family."

"Xu family?" Old Madam Hua murmured, "Which Xu family?"

"The Xu family of the Hanlin Academy." The nanny said hurriedly, "The current president of the Hanlin Academy is the grandfather of Miss Xu Qingwan."

"It's the Hanlin Academy again..." Mrs. Han muttered softly. The biological mother of that bitch is the daughter of the Sun family of the Hanlin Academy!

"Mother, could it be that you have fallen in love with this young lady from the Xu family?" Mrs. Han asked in disbelief.

Even if we want to find a remarriage for Hua Mu, this is too ridiculous!

"A girl's purity is important. What nonsense are you talking about?" Old Madam Hua glared at her with dissatisfaction. How could she say such things casually?

How could the eldest daughter of the president of the Hanlin Academy become someone's second wife?

It's a pity, she thought the child was quite pleasing to her eyes.

"That's right." Madam Han breathed a sigh of relief: "Then Miss Xu looks about the same age as Shan'er, and she doesn't match Mu'er at all!"

The nanny laughed dryly and hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Old Madam Hua looked over.

"Madam, this young lady of the Xu family is no longer in her prime," the nanny said awkwardly.

"You're over 20 and still not married?" Mrs. Han exclaimed. She's over 20 and still not married. Is there something wrong with her?

"Yes." The nanny continued, "Miss Xu was once engaged. She and the man had been childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship, but the man died for some reason before the marriage..."

The nanny sighed, "Miss Xu insisted on mourning for her fiancé for three years. This delay has caused her to pass the years."

She has become an old maid who can't get married.

"She is a woman of affection and righteousness." Old Madam Hua commented indifferently. It was a fool for her daughter to not think about herself and waste so much time.

Madam Han did not comment: "It wouldn't have taken so long, would it? I see he is a man who only wants to get rich, otherwise why would he stay with Princess Changle?"

Maybe she has set her eyes on the third prince, Gu Changsu?

The nanny looked up at her, wanting to say something but stopping herself several times, until Madam Hua gave the order and then she sighed.

"Miss Xu is also pitiful. After her brother got married, her sister-in-law couldn't tolerate her and often made things difficult for her." The nanny said, "Thanks to Princess Changle's kindness, she often brought her with her to show her affection, so her life in the Xu family was a little better."

"Where did you hear this?" Old Madam Hua laughed. How could such things be said casually?

I've never seen this nanny being so slick before, so how come she can talk about these things so clearly now?

"After asking around, I found out that the affairs of the young lady of the Xu family are not a secret among the dignitaries in the capital." The maid smiled and said, "The maids and servants in our house have all heard about it."

That is to say, the servants of Fu Shou Tang followed the old lady in worshipping Buddha and not caring about worldly affairs, so they were not aware of the inside story.

Madam Hua's smile faded slightly, and she asked thoughtfully, "Have you heard of it?"

That's interesting.

It is said that family disgrace should not be made public. The conflict between the Xu family's aunt and sister-in-law has become known to everyone, but even a random servant in the mansion put Xu Wanqing in the position of a victim...

It seems that this young lady of the Xu family is also capable, and marrying her into the family will be able to scare away all kinds of evildoers.

Judging from Miss Xu's experience and age, she is destined to marry a lower-class man, and it is not a bad idea to become Mu'er's second wife...
