Chapter 112 Auntie is your backer

Xu Wan also looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zong Wenxiu took a deep breath and said seriously, "I'm sorry, Madam. I was really impulsive this time. I shouldn't have gambled with others by dropping out of school."

Zong Jincheng interrupted in astonishment, "What kind of impulse is this? He was so aggressive just now. It's a good thing that you stood up for me. Why are you apologizing?"

Although what the little devil said was a bit exaggerated, it was not without reason. Xu Wan looked at Zong Wenxiu and saw that he was getting more and more nervous and looked very embarrassed.

She stared at him for a few seconds and seemed to understand what he was thinking.

This child must be extremely scared now.

She sighed, feeling a little distressed and a little soft-hearted.

Xu Wan said softly, "Wen Xiu, remember, you are the child of our Yuanyang Marquis' Mansion. No matter what you do, the Marquis' Mansion will always be your backer and will not abandon you. It's just a Qingbo Academy. Even if you lose, we can just change the academy. It's not difficult. It's a good thing that you protect your brother. Your courage is commendable. How can I blame you for not distinguishing right from wrong?"

"I..." Zong Wenxiu's eyes gradually turned red, tears welled up in his eyes, but he was too stubborn to let them fall.

Xu Wan stretched out her arms, held the sensible and well-behaved child in her arms, patted him gently on the back and said, "Don't be afraid, Auntie is your backer, I will protect you."

Tears finally fell from my eyes.

Zong Wenxiu sobbed softly, his body shaking more violently than before. After a long while, he whispered, "Thank you, aunt."

Xu Wan was also relieved.

In the past, she always minded this title, thinking that it made her sound old, but she didn't realize that this title was so important to Zong Wenxiu, just like a child from outside finally being recognized by others.

Later she even felt a little regretful that she should have asked him to change his mind earlier.

Such a good child should be pampered.

Xu Wan patted his back and said, "Call me aunt from now on. Calling me Madam is too formal."

"Um……"

Zong Jincheng was also very moved watching from the side. At first, he just felt that his brother was so pitiful, fortunately Xu Wan could comfort him. Later, he felt envious, wishing Xu Wan would treat him like this...

No, who wants her to comfort people like this? I don’t want it.

The little devil pouted and tried to find excuses for himself.

When Zong Wenxiu calmed down, Xu Wan handed him a handkerchief and said, "Wipe it quickly, little cat."

Zong Wenxiu smiled with red eyes. He took the handkerchief and began to wipe his face.

Xu Wan smiled and changed the subject, saying casually, "Jincheng said before that he would take you to play Cuju, but I think it has been delayed for too long, so I asked Cuizhi to book a Cuju venue for tomorrow. You have just finished a month of study, so go there and relax for a day and have some fun."

If it were the Zong Wenxiu of the past, even if he was very confident in his heart, he would still be afraid of that one in ten thousand chance of failure, and would give up on playing because of worrying about the exam in a few days.

But now, Xu Wan looked at him softly, so he couldn't say no and could only respond obediently, "Okay."

"Cuju? You've already booked a venue?" Zong Jincheng became excited when he heard about going out to play. He quickly said, "Then I'll call my brothers to come. Two teams of Cuju require 32 people. Just the two of us won't be enough."

Zong Wenxiu narrowed his eyes slightly and said in surprise: "Why so many people?" How big is the Cuju field?

He did not participate in this game, but he roughly knew that Cuju was a round object that both sides competed to shoot into the goal, and the team with the most balls won.

Xu Wan interrupted and said, "Including Wen Xiu, you only need to find 14 more people. I have already arranged for the other team."

"Huh? What arrangements?" The two children looked at him at the same time.

Xu Wan pretended to be mysterious and said to Zong Jincheng: "Someone wants to play a match with you. This challenger will come with her team."

The little devil was so confident that he didn't even ask who it was. He just snorted arrogantly and said, "Let him come, you ignorant kid. I'll beat him to a pulp tomorrow!"

Xu Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "You are quite confident. Just don't cry if you lose tomorrow."

The little demon king glanced at her briefly, and as soon as he got off the carriage, he said to Buyan: "Go, inform my brothers, Wei Xinglu, He Zheng, Zhai... Bah, Lu Fang... tell them to cheer up tomorrow. This young master will lead them to kill everyone!"

"Yes!" He went to work without saying anything.

The mansion suddenly became lively. Zong Jincheng took out his Cuju clothes, which had clothes for all age groups. There were also some older clothes that he had planned to wear in two years. He took them out and gave them directly to his brother. The two children tried on the clothes with great interest.

Shunzi took out the Cuju from home and listened to his own Master Cheng patiently explaining the rules of Cuju to Master Xiu, and even drawing the terrain of the Cuju field on paper.

Zong Wenxiu asked some questions from time to time, and the little devil would demonstrate with him using his hands and feet. Shunzi was secretly amazed by his patience. Master Cheng has really changed. When Wei Xinglu asked him to teach him how to play Cuju, Master Cheng only taught him a few words and then impatiently told him to go and learn it before coming to the Cuju field.

If Wei Xinglu were to see this now, he would definitely scold Zong Jincheng hundreds of times for being biased.

Shunzi smiled with satisfaction, like an old father.

The next morning, Xu Wan was still having her meal when she heard the third group of people coming outside the door, urging them to come over quickly, saying that the Eighteenth Princess was waiting impatiently.

Xu Wan looked up at the sky helplessly and sighed: "It's only been a short time. Did she die before dawn?"

Cuizhi smiled and said, "Perhaps the princess is too excited. The two young masters chatted for most of the night and got up very early in the morning."

"So excited?" Xu Wan's emotions were a little moved by them.

She smiled and stood up and said, "Let's go, or the princess will come to kill us soon."

The group took a carriage to the Cuju field. Before Zong Jincheng got off the carriage, he heard someone calling him outside.

"Jincheng, we are here!" It was Wei Xinglu's voice.

The young boys wore the same round-necked robes, belts around their waists, hair caps on their heads, and plain boots, looking neat and tidy.

Zong Jincheng and Zong Wenxiu also got out of the car and waved to them.

Not far away, a female voice came: "Wow, you are finally here!"

Zong Jincheng turned around and saw a young girl also wearing a Cuju uniform. It was said that she was a girl dressed as a man, but her disguise was very unsuccessful, and she looked very familiar.

"Ten! Eighteen! Princess!" Zong Jincheng shouted through gritted teeth.

This is the third person on his grudge list!
