Ji Yao followed everyone into the Hou Mansion. As soon as she entered the front hall, she saw Lu Ruyun holding her child, wolfing down food as if no one else was watching.

When Su Zhiyun saw his wife and children like this, the anger in his heart could hardly be suppressed.

The child's name was Su Ze, and he murmured as he ate, "These are all delicious, and they are all mine. Anyone who robs me of them will be beaten to death!"

"Yes! My son is right! Beat them to death!" Lu Ruyun followed closely.

It seems that the people in the Houfu are used to hearing children being taught like this.

Ji Yao frowned in disapproval. Children educated in this way are not finished until they are beaten to death?
Su Ze doesn't look like the Su family at all, but looks the same as Lu Ruyun.

He has a pair of triangular eyes, diamond eyebrows, and lips so thin that they are almost invisible. He has a cold-blooded and ungrateful face. No matter how you look at it, he is incompatible with people like the Hou family.

Mrs. Zhou also didn't like her daughter-in-law, nor her grandson. She always felt that these two people were a stain on the entire Hou family.

"What do you look like! Go back to your yard quickly." Mrs. Zhou said sternly.

Lu Ruyun was stunned, trembling with fear, hugging the child and ran away.

This mother-in-law is so powerful, can she not afford to offend her and hide from her?
Mrs. Zhou pointed at her son and shouted angrily, "This is all your fault!"

Zhou Zhiyun didn't dare to refute, but the expression on his face was wonderful.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Ji Yao and became even more troubled, "Just go and live in the Lotus Garden! If you don't have anything to do, don't come out. I don't need you to come here to say hello."

Zhou drove Ji Yao away as quickly as possible like a fly.

As soon as she returned to the Hou Mansion, she saw a disturbing scene, and saw this child she didn't like, and her expression was extremely ugly.

Ji Yao had seen enough of the excitement and said obediently, "Daughter, please retire."

With that said, he left the upper room.

Su Zhixue looked at Ji Yao's back with gloom in her eyes. Now that she has returned to the Hou Mansion, she is the one who looks good.

Ji Yao was taken to the remote Lotus Garden by the maid. It was a separate courtyard. It was not as big as the courtyard where she lived in the Duke's Mansion, and it was not as gorgeous as there. It had been cleaned and looked relatively clean.

After sending the maid away and closing the door, there were only three masters and servants left in the lotus garden.

"Mother Sun, you must have some connections as you have been with your grandmother all year round. Please help me find out the details of Su Zhiyun's wife." Ji Yao always felt that there was some secret in this.

Grandma Sun was puzzled, "Miss, do you think there is anything special about this young lady? I heard that during a training session at the academy, Young Master Su was seriously injured and fell into a coma. He was rescued by this family and was lost in thought while recovering from his injuries. He took away the girl's innocence, and later the girl came to him while she was pregnant. Mr. Su couldn't afford to embarrass her, so he declared that the two were in love, and that's why he married her."

This incident was a joke for a while, but the Hou Mansion generously married her back, and the incident was settled.

It's just that in these years, the Hou Mansion has never allowed this young lady to leave the house, nor let her see outsiders.

This young lady is a poor girl from the countryside. She doesn't understand any rules. She uses her status to show off her power in the house, and she is still a bastard.

The strange thing is that everyone in the house ignored her and let her stay in their yard with the child.

There was no shortage of good food and drink, and there were servants to serve her, but she was not allowed to wander around the house or leave the house.

Ji Yao felt that there was something fishy about this, "Mother Sun, find someone who is careful to check it carefully. The more detailed the better. I always feel that things are not that simple."

Grandma Sun thought that the young lady had discovered something, so she paid more attention to it, "Okay, slave, I'll go right now."

Grandma Sun left, leaving only Yulian and Ji Yao in the room.

Yu Lian was cleaning up the house, complaining as she did so, "Miss, how can anyone live in this house! Look at the table, there is so much dust and moisture." Ji Yao casually wiped it on the table next to her. After a while, it turned out that there was a lot of dust on my fingers.

"It would be nice to have a place to stay. We won't be able to live here for long."

The small yard looks relatively clean, but a little damp.

"Miss, you are weak, how can you live in such a humid yard?" Yulian disagreed.

In the past, in Jiangnan, the master and his wife always let the young lady live in the best courtyard, without any moisture.

Once the humidity is too high, the lady's asthma problem will occur again.

"It's okay. I've gotten much better over the years. Let's pack up and get ready to cook! It seems like the people in this Marquis Mansion won't be able to prepare meals for us."

Ji Yao knows very well the virtues of those in the Hou Mansion.

There was no way to show her authority in the Duke Protector's Mansion, so why not try to show her some authority in the Duke's Mansion?
Because of knowing this, Ji Yao took away a lot of things in large and small bags when leaving the Duke Protector's Mansion.

This small courtyard is located near the northeast corner of the Hou Mansion. It is an independent courtyard. There is also a small kitchen and a well. The cooking utensils in the kitchen are all ready-made. As long as there are ingredients, you can cook.

"Miss, you rest, I'll go cook." Yulian carried a bunch of things and went to the kitchen.

Ji Yao walked out of the room, walked around the yard, walked to the corner of the backyard, looked up at the high wall, and saw a fruit tree in the house next door.

The fruits on the tree are white with a hint of yellow, and their skins are slightly reddened by the sun. They exude a strong fruity aroma. The shy faces of the fruits peek out from the green leaves, and they look very attractive.

Ji Yao swallowed hard, her big eyes shining brightly, "I wonder who's house is next door? The fruit on that tree must be delicious."

This small courtyard is next to a high-walled courtyard. She can see the glazed dome in the courtyard even from standing here. It looks much richer than the Marquis Mansion.

Ji Yao's voice was soft and waxy, reaching the ears of the man standing across the wall.

Cangling was digging at the base of the wall for a moment, and his blood-red eyes were full of smiles. "Girl, since you are curious about where this is, do you want to come in and take a look? And eat some fruit by the way?"

Ji Yao was stunned. Is there someone over there?

"Ahem, I'm sorry. I'm just curious. I have no intention of taking a look. I don't want to eat the fruit either."

With that said, he jogged all the way back to the front yard.

What a shame!I was caught trying to eat someone else's fruit.

Ji Yao reluctantly took another look at the fruit tree, "But the Buddha fruit on that tree is really delicious."

She never thought she would see such a magical fruit as Buddha fruit in her lifetime.

According to legend, the Buddha Fruit was planted by a man for his beloved woman. It blooms every ten years and bears fruit every ten years. The fruits are a pair of fruits on one branch.

Buddha fruit is not only a delicious fruit, but also a very rare medicinal material, which is more precious than the thousand-year-old ginseng.

It's just that if you want to grow this Buddha fruit and make it bear fruit, you need to spend a lot of time, energy and financial resources. There is such a precious fruit in the mansion opposite, which shows that the owner there is either rich or noble.

Is such a precious fruit unknown to anyone?

Isn't he afraid of being stolen?
