New widow

"If she wants to hit me, then I have no choice." Mrs. Du broke into a cold sweat. Su Qiao thought for a while and said to Mrs. Du: "Then I will ask your niece to accompany you. Don't worry, she is here at the moment. I'm working here, even if Aunt Du wants to beat you, it won't be easy to beat you when you see her."

Yeah? Mrs. Du's disbelief was clearly written on her face, Su Qiao didn't say anything more and just asked Mrs. Du to accompany Mrs. Du out. Mrs. Du stood up tremblingly and followed Du out.

After walking out of the nunnery, Mrs. Du said to Mrs. Du: "Aunt, didn't I tell you before, don't go to the Shangshu Mansion? It's not us who will benefit. When something happens, we will be the ones who suffer."

"You kid, what do you know?" As soon as she left the nunnery, Mrs. Du felt her legs stopped shaking and she dared to speak. When Mrs. Du saw Mrs. Du like this, she couldn't help but curled her lips: "Now you are talking loudly to me. Why didn't you dare to say anything when you were inside just now?"

"It was just now, now is now." After Mrs. Du said this, she said to Mrs. Du: "I don't want to make more money so that I can buy another house for your cousin."

"My cousin is not young anymore. He also has to worry about the matter of getting a new wife." When she mentioned these household chores, Mrs. Du couldn't help but sigh. Mrs. Du curled her lips again and wanted to say more, but Mrs. Du was already looking forward to it. Looking at the sky: "Let's leave quickly. We must come back in front of Guancheng Gate."

They are going to be locked up in the city, and the Shangshu Mansion will not let them stay. They have to find a place to live and a place to eat, which is all money, and neither of them can afford it.

When Mrs. Du heard this, she hurried inside. Aunt Du just asked someone to prepare lunch

Well, when I heard Mrs. Du and Mrs. Du coming, Aunt Du's eyebrows couldn't help but frown. If you really count, Mrs. Du and Aunt Du are still cousins, but when Aunt Du was in her natal family, Mrs. Du was still very young. The two didn't have much interaction with each other. Later, when Aunt Du married into the Shangshu Mansion, she occasionally returned to Ning, but it was also in the farm that the Shangshu Mansion rewarded. She would never interact with these cousins ​​​​and sisters.

Why did Mrs. Du come here now? Although Aunt Du was surprised, she still had her aunt and nephew brought in. When she saw Aunt Du, Mrs. Du knelt down and saluted. Mrs. Du couldn't help but frowned and whispered to Mrs. Du: "Why, aunt, you still have to salute your sister."

"Are you crazy? Where is your sister here?" Mrs. Du hurriedly grabbed Du's clothes and told her not to say that.

Aunt Du frowned and looked at Mrs. Du: "I really can't recognize how many sisters there are in this family."

"It goes without saying these kind words." It was the first time for Mrs. Du to see Aunt Du, and the first time to enter such a luxurious home. She was a little flustered at first, but when Mrs. Du knelt down to salute and Aunt Du accepted it calmly, Mrs. Du felt Aunt Du was not a reasonable person, so Du Shi simply followed Su Qiao's usual instructions and spoke directly to Aunt Du.

"So, you want to talk about sisters on an equal footing with me?" Aunt Du was unhappy, and her words were naturally a bit unpleasant. Mrs. Du said honestly: "It must be done according to etiquette."

"Etiquette, you know, etiquette is not inferior to common people!" Aunt Du followed Wang Shangshu. She had heard some of these words, so she scolded her.

Voice. Du Shi nodded: "I'm not here to talk to you about this. As for what happened just now, our wife already knows about it. Our wife said that in the future, if you have anything to say, just go and tell her directly. , don't use such means." Madam? That was Mrs. Kuang. Aunt Du couldn't help but get angry and looked at Mrs. Du: "You can't handle such a small thing, so you have the nerve to take my reward?"

"Aunt Du, if you think about it, you still have to call your aunt aunt. Isn't it just right for a niece to show sympathy to her aunt and give her a few taels of silver? How could it become a reward?" What Du said made Aunt Du dumbfounded. After a while, he said angrily: "How bold."

"What kind of bold words are these? Isn't this a gift?" Mrs. Du still asked back. Aunt Du wanted to grab the tea bowl and throw it on Mrs. Du's head, but Mrs. Du was not a servant of her own family. Besides, there was a saying that beating a dog would cost you more. Looking at the master, Aunt Du can't touch Du's master at the moment, so of course she can't touch Du.

So Aunt Du could only say with a livid face: "Okay, okay, if you say so, please leave."

"Aunt, hurry up and leave." When Mrs. Du heard what Aunt Du said, she turned around to leave, but saw Mrs. Du still kneeling on the ground. Mrs. Du turned around and pulled Mrs. Du up, asking her to follow her quickly.

"You are young and ignorant, so you are not asking us to leave." Mrs. Du whispered, and Mrs. Du frowned: "Since you don't want us to leave, don't say please leave."

"Go away!" Aunt Du couldn't bear it anymore. She said this word loudly and covered her heart with her hands, not wanting to talk to Mrs. Du anymore.

After saying this, Mrs. Du took the opportunity to pull Mrs. Du and run away.

Mrs. Du did not forget to salute to Aunt Du: "Come back when you are done here." Aunt Du only waved her hand and was filled with hatred. What kind of luck did Mrs. Kuang have to escape from the situation again and again? ?

Despite this, Aunt Du still went to see Wang Shangshu and told Wang Shangshu exactly what had happened. After hearing this, Wang Shangshu laughed: "There must be something fishy in this matter."

"What do you mean, Master?" Aunt Du really didn't know what was wrong here, so she heard Wang Shangshu say coldly: "Kuang, you must be hiding something. Fortunately, there will definitely be someone coming from the Zhou family. When the time comes, let the Zhou family come forward."

Although Mr. Zhou Ge was a cabinet minister, when talking about becoming a Jinshi or entering the Imperial Academy, he still addressed Wang Shangshu as "senior". Someone from the Zhou family will definitely come to deal with Zhou Le's affairs, and this person will definitely come to visit Wang Shangshu. At that time, as long as Wang Shangshu hints in his words that he wants the Zhou family to repackage Zhou Le, he can open the restaurant openly and openly.

After all, repacking is commonplace. After hearing what Wang Shangshu said, Aunt Du smiled and said, "Sure enough, the master is wise."

"As for you, you should also go to express your condolences." Wang Shangshu told Aunt Du that in matters of etiquette, it is important that no one can make mistakes. Aunt Du naturally obeyed the order. When she returned to her room, she ordered the sedan to be prepared and went to the nunnery to express her condolences in person.

Not long after Du returned, Suqiao heard that Aunt Du had come to express her condolences. Suqiao couldn't help but smile: "It seems that Wang Shangshu's ability to achieve the position of Shangshu is indeed different from others."

"Madam, if they find any clues about this matter, then we...

..." Nanny Wu said worriedly beside her, saying that this matter cannot be done according to what Nanny Wu thought in her heart, but Su Du and Zhou Le both nodded in agreement, so naturally Nanny Wu had no choice but to obey.
