New widow

The next day, Su Qiao asked Madam Huang to arrange a very good carriage, and asked Song Zhen to take two more nannies and two maids besides Chun Hua Qiu Yue. Aunt Wu and the maids took another ride. A carriage, with the steward of the British government in front of it, went out in a grand manner.

A group of people came to the door of Wu's house. Seeing this, the gatekeeper of the Wu family hurriedly passed the news in. When Mrs. Wu heard the maid coming to report, she couldn't help complaining to Grandma Wu: "Look, your cousin is not choosing what to say." His words aroused the wrath of the Duke's government."

"I have to trouble my mother-in-law to come forward and deal with this matter." Grandma Wu was naturally young and should say what she said at any time. Mrs. Wu smiled and led the others out.

When Song Zhen was helped out of the car, she happened to meet Mrs. Wu coming out. Song Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I've met my aunt."

"It's the first day you've come here, which shows how much your mother attaches importance to your coming to study." Mrs. Wu only said this softly. Song Zhen already understood, but only smiled and said: "My mother treats me very well."

"This is only right. You are the daughter of the Duke's palace, so you are naturally worth it." Mrs. Wu said a few words lightly. Someone had already reported it to Mrs. Wu. After hearing this, Mrs. Wu said to Mrs. Wu on the side: "You How to teach your daughter."

"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law..." Mrs. Wu was also a very smart person outside, but when she encountered Mrs. Wu's anger, Mrs. Wu could neither kneel nor stand.

"If he is the son of a concubine, then he is worried about dividing the family property. Why can't you two tolerate a daughter of a concubine?" Mrs. Wu was talking about the daughter of the second concubine. Today

She was only eight years old, and there were rumors that Mrs. Wu was mean to her and refused to send her to school.

Seeing Mrs. Wu speaking so frankly, Mrs. Wu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law never thought that she would not be able to tolerate her."

"Are you worried that you will have to pay a dowry when you get married in the future?" Mrs. Wu raised her voice, and Mrs. Wu hurriedly shook her head: "It's not that you are worried about a dowry."

"It's neither this nor that, so what's going on with all this gossip? A mother-in-law doesn't educate a concubine's daughter and lets the servants around her bully her. An eldest sister doesn't know how to be friendly to her sister and looks at her maid Bullying her is a joke that will be laughed at by people in the capital for years." Mrs. Wu's angry words left Mrs. Wu at a loss. Just as she was about to say more, she heard Mrs. Wu ordering the servants around her: "Go, take the five All the girl’s things are moved to my room, and from now on the fifth girl will be raised by my side.”

"Mother-in-law!" Mrs. Wu exclaimed in shock. Mrs. Wu glanced at her lightly: "Why, you are not willing to raise your child for me?"

"My daughter-in-law is not unwilling, it's just Aunt Zhang, she..." When Mrs. Wu Er spoke, her forehead was already covered with sweat. Mrs. Wu glanced at her: "What you do is what you preach. No matter how dissatisfied you are, you still have to be okay on the outside. Now, her nurse is bullying her. Don't you know how to stop it?"

Mrs. Wu naturally knew how to manage her servants, but she just turned a blind eye to the servants bullying the fifth girl. Now hearing Mrs. Wu's harsh words, Mrs. Wu didn't know how to defend herself, so she could only lower her body lower and dare not speak.

"Get up." Mrs. Wu

Seeing Mrs. Wu's appearance, the wife sighed softly and called Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu raised her head, with tears mixed with sweat on her face, looking very embarrassed.

"As long as you can remember, the children born from a concubine will recognize you as their mother. After they get married, they will not know how to behave in other people's homes. Others will only say that you, the aunt, do not know how to discipline children. How can you say anything about her aunt?"

"Yes!" Mrs. Wu could only say this.

"You are now over 30 years old and will marry your daughter-in-law soon. Do you still want to be jealous? The fifth girl's marriage is also..." Before Mrs. Wu could finish her words, there was a sound coming from outside the door. The mother-in-law's respectful voice said: "Madam, the fifth girl is here."

"Fifth girl will be raised in my room for now. You can go down." After Mrs. Wu said this, she loudly called for people to come in. Fifth girl is only ten years old this year, and her clothes are quite acceptable. After all, Mrs. Wu will let the servants come in again. Bullying the fifth girl would not tamper with something that can be seen at a glance like her clothing.

It’s just that the fifth girl’s expression was a little timid, so Mrs. Wu waved to the fifth girl: “Come to grandma.” The fifth girl also glanced at the second Mrs. Wu. Those servants were very observant, and they had already given the fifth girl a push: "Madam asked you to go, go quickly." Only then did the fifth girl dare to walk up to Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu stretched out her hand to hold her granddaughter's hand, looked up and down before smiling and said: "That looks good. From now on, you will stay with grandma in the grandmother's room." After saying this, Mrs. Wu said to Mrs. Wu: "Girl. Now that she's older, there's no need for a wet nurse anymore, so all the wet nurses that the girl has are sent out, and all the maids and women who serve around her should be replaced."

Accompany five

The girl who came in was the nanny of the fifth girl. Hearing Mrs. Wu's understatement, she subconsciously looked at Mrs. Wu and wanted to ask her for help. But seeing the sweat on Mrs. Wu's face, the nanny knew not to say more. Just lower your head. Although the fifth girl was not old, she felt that something terrible must have happened. She just leaned next to Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu said a few words to her and asked her maid to take the fifth girl to the study. .

After the fifth girl resigned, the second Mrs. Wu dared to resign and had to follow the instructions of the Mrs. to deal with these servants. As soon as she walked out of the yard, the wet nurse begged Mrs. Wu Er for mercy: "Madam, when I'm with a girl, I always..."

"Don't say anything sincere. I've been scolded today." After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she said with some annoyance: "That's all, after all, you did something wrong in these things. I won't make it difficult for you. Wait. I’ll find you another job in a while.”

These were Mrs. Wu's comforting words, but the nanny could not tell the story of her suffering. What job could be more glorious than being a nanny for a girl? When the girl gets married, she can become a nanny, which is better than being a nanny. This house is much more comfortable.

Seeing that the wet nurse was gone, Mrs. Wu Er sighed, and when her daughter came back, she would tell her again that if she is a friendly sister, no matter whether she is born from the same mother or not, she must remember the love of the same father.

The fifth girl was sent to the study by the maid next to Mrs. Wu. The female gentleman had been talking for a while. When the fifth girl arrived, the female gentleman didn't say anything more and just asked the fifth girl to sit in her usual position.

The fifth girl's position happened to be adjacent to Song Zhen's. Her sister saw the two of them

Sitting together, their expressions couldn't help but be sarcastic.
