New widow

Although the Lantern Festival has passed, the weather is still cold, and the remaining snow on the eaves has not gone away. In front of the gate of the British Government House, there are dense firecracker debris. A boy opened the door with a broom and swept away the paper scraps on the ground.

Some people passing by were already talking there: "Is this the fourth time a British father has married a wife?"

"That's not true. The British Duke is really a wife." Everyone was talking there. The British Duke's first wife was the same noble daughter, the young lady of the Yongning Marquis. After 12 years of marriage, the lady did not leave any The next man and half a woman were gone.

The second lady's father had been a magistrate for a time, and they lived well after they got married. Who knew that this lady gave birth to three sons, all of whom died before they reached the age of three.

When it came time to marry his third child, the British father vowed to marry a man who would be good at raising children, regardless of his family background. So the third wife was a daughter of a small family. Who knew that she died in childbirth not even three years after she got married?

Although there were several concubines in the house, none of them gave birth to any children. The British father-in-law also had to put his mind to it and get another wife. This time she married the daughter of Master Kuang, a member of the Ministry of Etiquette. This daughter was also a widow.

"I don't know who defeated whom, this widow married a widower." Some mean people couldn't help laughing and said, the boy's floor was also swept, and just as he was about to go back to the house with the broom, he heard a rumor from inside the house. There was a commotion.

The bride just entered the house yesterday, why is there a commotion now? The boy was very puzzled, but he could only walk into the house.

But he saw Mrs. Huang, who was in charge of the house's internal affairs, running inside in a panic. This Mrs. Huang was originally a maid in the house, but she was later released to get married. Who knows how many years would pass?

After her husband died, she returned to work for the government. At that time, Mrs. Chen, who was in charge of the internal affairs of the government, was about to retire, so she was pushed forward.

Madam Huang, who had always behaved dignifiedly, now looked panicked. The young man was very puzzled and grabbed a woman's lapel: "Auntie, what happened?"

"Something serious has happened." After saying this, the old woman shook off the boy's hand and ran inside with Madam Huang.

Mrs. Huang and her men were running towards the inner courtyard. As soon as they turned around the second gate, they bumped into someone. The man stopped and called Sister Huang. Madam Huang saw that this person was Nanny Wu, who was ordered by the British Duke to pick up his daughter Song Zhen who was living abroad. She reached out and took her hand: "Hurry up and tell the girl to go to the new house."

Grandma Wu was confused by what Mrs. Huang said. Why did she want to go to the new house? Didn't Song Zhen dress up today and go to the hall to meet the British father-in-law and his wife? Why are you going to the hall now?

"Go quickly!" Madam Huang said sternly, and Grandma Wu yelled and ran towards Song Zhen's yard. Song Zhen had already dressed up and was having breakfast with her maid Chunhua Qiuyue. When she saw Aunt Wu running in in a panic, Song Zhen couldn't help but frown. Although she and Aunt Wu only knew each other for a few months, Song Zhen knew that Aunt Wu Grandma usually pays great attention to etiquette. What she always talks about is that Song Zhen should know the etiquette and must not lose the face of the British government.

Why did Nanny Wu run in in such a panic at this time? Before Song Zhen could think more, Nanny Wu had already said to Song Zhen: "Girl, Mrs. Huang just came over and asked the girl to go to the new house quickly."

Don't talk about Song Zhen now, all the people serving in the room looked at Granny Wu

Mom, something terrible must have happened. Song Zhen stood up, let Qiu Yue put a cloak on herself, took the hand stove, and went to the new house under the leadership of Mother Wu.
