New widow

"Madam, this deficit didn't happen in a day or two." Madam Huang couldn't help but speak. Suqiao looked back at her: "I don't mean to blame you."

This internal friction and external expropriation may be fine in the beginning, but as time goes on, the deficit will naturally become unbearable.

The room suddenly became quiet. Su Qiao suddenly clicked on the account book and said with a smile: "That's it, let's go and have a rest. This matter can't be rushed for a while."

"Madam!" Sister-in-law Liu called Suqiao again. Suqiao naturally knew what Sister-in-law Liu wanted, but at this time, Suqiao was unwilling to tell Sister-in-law Liu, so Suqiao smiled: "I said to rest, Then go and rest.”

Sister-in-law Liu could only salute Suqiao, and everyone left. Suqiao looked at everyone's backs and pressed her forehead with her hand. The Duke's Palace is like this, and the Song family is still thinking about fighting for power. It's really ridiculous. .

"Madam, do you really need to rest?" Xi'er asked Suqiao curiously, and Suqiao looked at her: "What are you going to do if you don't take a rest?"

"I originally thought Madam would call Mrs. Huang back to continue the discussion." Xi'er's words made Su Qiao smile, and then Su Qiao tapped her forehead: "You, you have watched too many plays."

Xi'er pursed her lips, but still took the bucket and went out to ask the ladies to bring hot water in so that Su Qiao could be groomed. Madam Huang and the housekeeper didn't go far. They just stood in front of Suqiao's courtyard. When she saw her mother-in-law taking a bucket to the kitchen to ask for hot water, Madam Huang sighed.

The housekeeper asked cautiously: "Sister, do you think you can't figure out Madam's thoughts?"

"Normally, we can't speculate on Madam's thoughts."

Mrs. Huang's words made the housekeeper frown, and then Mrs. Huang said softly: "I am now over 40, and I no longer have the energy I had when I was young. I just want to live a stable life. From now on, I will be like Grandma Chen." Just like grandma."

It is inevitable to support Su Qiao. After all, Su Qiao is the legitimate mistress of this house. But Suqiao's behavior these days often frightens Madam Huang. Suqiao has no regard for reputation or rules. What's more, what Suqiao wants to overturn is the rule that has been in place for many years in the Duke's palace, and everyone knows it but cannot declare it verbally.

"Are you worried that if Madam keeps doing this, you won't be like Grandma Chen?" The housekeeper's words brought a wry smile to Madam Huang's lips: "But, I have no choice."

"Sister, you are always resourceful." As soon as the housekeeper finished speaking, Madam Huang looked at her and smiled: "You have been here for so many years, don't you know that the master is the master and the servants are servants?"

No matter how resourceful a servant is, he must do things according to his master's wishes, otherwise he will be easily replaced.

But sometimes, it's life and death. Madam Huang felt her head hurt again.

"Sister, the lights in Madam's yard are out." The housekeeper reminded Madam Huang. The lights were out, and Su Qiao fell asleep.

"Let's go, we can only take it one step at a time." Huang Niangzi felt that her legs were numb from standing, so she turned and walked to the other side. The housekeeper's wife followed Mrs. Huang, feeling even more frightened than when Song An had just died.

Suqiao slept well that night. When she opened her eyes, it was already bright outside and a girl was sitting with her back on her back.

tableside. Suqiao blinked and looked carefully, only to realize that this person was Song Zhen.

"Why did you come here so early?" Su Qiao sat up. Xi'er stepped forward to support Su Qiao and said with a smile, "The girl said that she should come over early to pay her respects to Madam."

Greetings? Su Qiao lowered her feet and let Xi'er put on her shoes. Then she said to Song Zhen, "You don't have to come here every day to say hello. There are only a few of us in this house at the moment."

"Mother Wu said that these rules must be followed every day." Song Zhen frowned as she said that: "Mother Wu also said that after you get married, you won't feel that the rules of your mother-in-law's house are strict."

Rules, rules, there seem to be rules everywhere in this house. Everyone must live according to the rules, but there are so many things that are covered up by the rules. Suqiao pinched Song Zhen's face and said, "Since you're here, let's have breakfast together."

"Brother, I'm here to pay my respects to Madam." As soon as Su Qiao finished speaking, a voice came from outside the house. Everyone must abide by this rule. Su Qiao asked the wet nurse to come in.

The wet nurse walked in with the child in her arms. The child was sleeping soundly. Suqiao took the child and looked at it, then touched his forehead and found that there was no fever. Then she handed the child to the wet nurse and said, "It seems that my brother was not feeling well yesterday." Get some rest."

"In that cemetery," the nanny said, and then quickly changed her words: "When I came back yesterday, my brother fell asleep and woke up twice at night to feed him milk."

Suqiao certainly knew what the nanny had not finished saying, but Suqiao was not willing to say anything about this matter at the moment, so Suqiao asked the nanny a few more questions, and then told the nanny to take good care of the child. Breakfast had just been set. , took a few bites,

Someone came to report that Mr. Song was here.

Although this child was brought over, his name must be entered into the family tree before he can truly be regarded as Song An's son. I think this is what Mr. Song is doing.

Suqiao put down her chopsticks, let Song Zhen eat slowly, and then moved forward.

Mr. Song and Uncle Song were waiting for Su Qiao in the study. All the furnishings in the study were taken away, leaving only a few books that Song An had read, which looked particularly desolate.

As soon as Suqiao walked to the door, she heard Mr. Song sighing from inside the house: "This house and the Duke's Mansion look so desolate."

"It's not okay if there is no man in this family who can stand up." Uncle Song Wu agreed, and Suqiao couldn't help but smile. There is no man in this family who can stand up.

Su Qiao lifted the curtain and walked in. Seeing Su Qiao come in, Mr. Song stood up and said, "Third brother and sister, we are here today to discuss what name this child should be named and how he will be named."

"This case will be settled by the Ministry of Punishment. At that time, we will also make a petition to implore His Majesty to inherit this title." Song Wushu said impatiently.

"I'm still wondering why my uncle and fifth uncle came so early in the morning after being so tired these days. It turned out to be for this matter." Suqiao said without being polite to them and sat directly on it.

"No matter how tired you are, you have to do what you need to do to avoid long nights and dreams." Uncle Song told the truth. Suqiao looked at Mr. Song: "That day, I think my sister-in-law already told uncle my request."

"It's right for you to feel angry when your eleventh brother and sister do such a thing, but this child, no matter how you say it,

We, the Song family, will still have us even if our parents are gone. Besides, the eleventh brother is outside and has a daughter. We have discussed that we should bring her back. "
