Xu Zongen did not run very far and looked back frequently on the way. He knew that with Aunt Mei's love for him, she would not be willing to neglect him for too long.

It is estimated that she will figure it out on her own in a while, and then she will say some nice words to coax herself back.

With this thought in mind, I found a corner and squatted down.

"Huh, wait for her to come over in a while. Don't go back so easily. You must make a fuss and let her know that I am not easy to coax!"

Thinking like this, I have been waiting for a long time without realizing it.

Autumn is deep and the night is still very cold.

Xu Zongen only felt very sleepy, but the clothes he wore were very thin, and even though he was very sleepy, he still couldn't sleep due to the cold.

"Really, why hasn't she come yet?"

Xu Zongen couldn't help but complain, even the servants coming and going didn't come to care about him.

This made him very frustrated.

"What does she mean? I'm her son! Don't worry about me at all..."

Saying this, Xu Zongen lowered his head. He didn't know whether it was because he felt uncomfortable that he couldn't save his mother from the dire straits, or because he felt that Aunt Mei didn't care about him.

"Otherwise, go back and admit your mistake to her, and say a few nice words to coax her, maybe she will agree."

Thinking this way, I seemed to have an excuse to go back.

"Forget it, I'll give her some face this time. I think she's been looking for it for a long time but just can't find it."

After saying that, he walked towards Xingyu Pavilion.

Looking from a distance, I saw that many of the lights in the courtyard had been extinguished, the maids had already gone to rest, and there were only two night shift guards at the door.

"Damn it, I'm like this, how can she sleep?"

He walked over quickly, and just as he was about to enter the yard, the two guards stopped him directly outside the door.

Xu Zongen was already angry, but he found an outlet this time.

"You dog slaves, what do you do with those eyes? Just open your eyes and watch. I am the second young master. If you stop me from seeing Aunt Mei and make my aunt sad, you can afford it! If you let me If dad finds out, he will definitely chop off your heads!"

Xu Zongen was so angry that he was about to explode. When had he ever been so wronged?

The two guards were still standing in front of him, motionless. One of them said: "Second Young Master, we are also following orders. My aunt has already rested and ordered not to disturb her. My aunt also sent a message, asking me to The two brothers will wait here."

He didn't believe it when he heard this.

He didn't believe that Aunt Mei would really treat him like this.

He originally wanted to rush through directly, but after all, he was a half-year-old child. How could he compare with the strength of two adult men?

"Hmph, when I tell grandma tomorrow, none of you will be able to eat and walk around!"

Seeing that Xingyu Pavilion could not be entered, he had no choice but to return to his small courtyard dejectedly.

Aunt Mei opened the window a small crack and watched his disappearing figure, leaving two more lines of tears.

Xu Huan frowned. She hated to see Meilan cry.

"If you really can't bear to part with him, just call him back. Why bother making yourself uncomfortable like this?"

Aunt Mei wiped her tears with a handkerchief, took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, and handed it to Xu Huan.

"I just received this. Cuizhu quietly put it into my hand."

Hearing what Aunt Mei said, Xu Huan took the piece of paper and approached the candle, using the light to read what was written on it. "Aunt Mei, I think Zong En has already told you that he wants to keep Liu Bao'er as a maid, but you may not know that Zong En is the child of Liu Bao'er and the Crown Prince. As for this, don't let others know."

After Xu Huan read it, he directly burned the paper to ashes with the flame of the candle.

He and Aunt Mei looked at each other. They were lying on the bed, worried.

"Auntie, the information on that paper must be kept secret. Now is not the time to make it public."

Xu Huan hummed, she still knew the seriousness of this matter.

"Oh, I don't know why, ever since I found out that the second young master was born to that bitch, I've only felt disgusted in my heart. Even the things I've always wondered about before now have answers."

Aunt Mei sighed, feeling that her energy these days had been spent in the wrong place.

"If I had known this, I would never have put such a child in my name!"

Aunt Mei gritted her teeth angrily. What she hated most was other people's calculations.

Xu Huan frowned when he heard what she said.

"Meilan, have you ever thought that the adoptive child was originally a net set up by the prince and the old lady, in order to bring the child born to Liu Baoer back to the house and become his legitimate son."

Aunt Mei suddenly realized, "Yes, the old lady had been persuading my wife to adopt the second young master. If it hadn't been for the eldest young master's... father making such a fuss, I think the position of the legitimate son would have really given the mother and son an advantage. !”

Xu Huan remained silent. Of course she knew what her good brother was up to.

"Auntie, what should I do next?"

Xu Huan really wanted to tell her that if she really couldn't stay here any longer, why not follow her to the south of the Yangtze River, to the frontier, to see these great rivers and mountains.

But she didn't say that. She knew Meilan's temperament, how could she trust her family?

"Hey, don't think too much. Madam will naturally take care of these things. You can just watch what she does."

Xu Huan didn't want her to swim in this muddy water. If she was watching from the sidelines, she might be in the best position.

Early the next morning, Xu Zongen knelt in the Tantan Hall.

Mother Chen was shocked as soon as she went out.

"Oh my little ancestor! What are you doing?"

Xu Zongen just knelt down and didn't say a word.

Mother Chen was very anxious, but she also knew that the old lady had not gotten up at this time, so what should she do?

"What's the noise outside? It's so early in the morning, I can't even get a good night's sleep!"

The old lady's voice came from the room, and her tone was slightly angry. How could you not be angry if someone disturbed your sweet dream?
Mother Chen also realized that her voice was too loud just now, but now that the old lady was awake, she hurried in to serve her.

Not long after, he came out in a hurry again. "Second Young Master, please go in. The old lady wants to see you! Oh, you are so exposed, don't hurt yourself!"

Mother Chen gently supported him. Because he had been kneeling for a long time, his knees hurt badly. If there was no one to support him, it would be difficult to stand firm.

After taking three steps and resting, he finally moved into the house. The old lady had just changed her clothes and her hair had not been tied up yet.

"Zong En sends my regards to my grandmother."

"Get up, you kid. I heard you came early in the morning?"
