New widow

After drinking a few more drinks, Su Du and Zhang Qing took their leave. Master Song and Master Eleven sent them out. Looking at the backs of the two of them, Master Song frowned, and Master Eleven said softly: "My third nephew has been happy for so many days, but he cannot be happy in vain."

When the clan wanted to choose an heir, it was natural for them to have a candidate, and Mr. Song had already designated this candidate as the third son born to his beloved concubine. Firstly, the eldest son will inherit his own house, and secondly, the second son is studying now. If he can win the imperial examination in the future, this house will not be a problem. Thirdly, he also wanted to find some property for the son born from his beloved concubine.

Mr. Song nodded after hearing Mr. Eleven's words: "I haven't even said a word about this matter yet."

"Third brother has passed away. Big brother, you are the one who can make the most decisions in this clan. As long as..." Master Eleven lowered his voice. Master Song knew what Master Eleven said. I'm afraid it was not a good thing, but Mr. Song still listened attentively, nodding as he listened. When he heard the end, Mr. Song smiled widely and reached out to pat Mr. Eleven on the shoulder: "Good brother, if I can accomplish this, I will thank you very much. "

"This is how brothers should be." After Master Eleven finished speaking, he said affectionately: "In the future, when my third nephew becomes the Duke of the country, he will have to take more care of my incompetent uncle."

"It's natural." Mr. Song was beaming, as if he had seen his son become the Duke of the country and take control of all the money in the house. By then, a little leakage from your fingers will be enough for the whole family to live on.

The more Mr. Song thought about it, the happier he became. The smile was like painting on his mouth and could not disappear no matter what.

Su Du and Zhang Qing

The two of them returned to the yard in silence and went back to their rooms to change their clothes. As Su Du was untying his clothes, Zhang Qing walked in: "You didn't ask me any questions along the way."

"How can there be a person like you? You walked in while others were changing clothes." Su Du scolded, but with a smile on his face, Zhang Qing also sat down with a smile: "I don't believe you can't imagine that Aunt Su is like this Now, he is the most dangerous person."

Aunt Su is pregnant with Song An's child, and Aunt Zhou is jealous of her. Who knows if any of the maids and women around her may have bad intentions like the maid today. And all Aunt Su can rely on is Su Qiao.

"The only thing we can talk about in the inner house is the lady." Su Du's words made Zhang Qing raise his eyebrows: "Speaking of it, the lady doesn't look like an ignorant woman who grew up in the countryside."

Zhang Qing's courage, knowledge and conversation were beyond Zhang Qing's expectations. Su Du smiled: "How can a truly ignorant woman go to Beijing alone to seek refuge with a father who doesn't take her seriously after her husband dies?"

As for what kind of things might happen to rural widows, Zhang Qing knew better than Su Du. Zhang Qing nodded: "Speaking of which, the daughter of the Duke's Mansion is also very different."

Most people would panic when encountering such a sudden change, not to mention the daughter who had just lost her biological mother and then encountered the death of her biological father. Looking around, there was no one I could rely on.

Su Du nodded. Zhang Qing wanted to wait for Su Du to speak, but Su Du smiled again: "We don't need to talk about this matter in the inner house. We should go and inform the lady and ask her to bring Su Du to the house." Auntie, take good care of it."

That eleventh old man

Master, you can make that maid die willingly. Who knows what else is behind it? Do you want to do this for the sake of the title?

Su Du sighed softly, and Zhang Qing called the boy and asked him to go inside and ask Madam Huang to come out.

Madam Huang arrived soon. When she heard what Su Du said, Madam Huang said respectfully: "Please rest assured, Mr. Su. Madam has just given the order. From today on, all the things that Aunt Su wants to put into her mouth must be seen by Madam." It was sent by the lady without passing through other people's hands."

"That's very good, but you have to be careful when entering and exiting." Su Du did not expect that Su Qiao would think of it first. Madam Huang should have said: "I have already replaced the maids and women around my aunt. They are all sincere and honest people." Yes, I have been a Chen for three or four lifetimes."

If such a person encounters trouble and is kicked out of the Duke's mansion, it will be a matter that can affect the whole family. This arrangement can be considered very appropriate.

Su Du couldn't help but praise: "Madam Huang is really capable."

"It's just eating the rice from the master and being devoted to the master." Madam Huang was still so calm. Seeing that Su Du had nothing to say, she resigned and left.

"In such a big mansion, with so many people, being a family member is so tiring." Zhang Qing muttered, and Su Du smiled: "My mother, my sister-in-law, in addition to being a housekeeper, have various social activities every day, my little one When I was young, I often saw my mother before she could rest until midnight."

"Tsk, tsk, it's really hard to be the mistress of such a big family." Zhang Qing smacked his tongue, and Su Du nodded: "That's why my father often said that you must understand their hard work and if you want to take concubines, you must discuss it with them. good."

"Then why don't you take concubines?" Zhang Qing said smoothly

I asked, but Su Du couldn't answer, wouldn't he take a concubine? It seems that no one in a wealthy family refuses to take concubines, and no one has ever thought about what it would be like to not take concubines. Seeing that Su Du couldn't answer, Zhang Qing didn't ask any more questions. Whether he takes concubines or not, it has nothing to do with Zhang Qing.

Madam Huang returned to the mourning hall and told Su Qiao the things Su Du asked her to ask. After hearing this, Suqiao said softly: "There are too many people in this clan who don't want this matter to come to light."

"Why is it so coincidental that this matter all points to Aunt Su?" Mrs. Huang's words were full of surprise. Although Aunt Su loves to be picky and strong, let alone Aunt Zhou, when the lady was here Aunt Su was never afraid of the lady, and she often used various methods to pull Song An into her room when Song An was resting in the lady's room. For such a person who wants to monopolize and favor him, if he wants to do evil, he won't do it like this.

"I'm afraid that if Aunt Su is happy, the Duke will not know about it until she dies, but others have known about it for a long time." As Su Qiao said, she threw a piece of paper money into the brazier and watched the paper money turn into ashes. .

Aunt Su is pregnant, then all the evidence points to Aunt Su. What if Aunt Zhou is pregnant? Suqiao felt that she had thought of something, but she couldn't figure it out.

Su Qiao sighed again, that's all, let's do this for now.

Aunt Su's daily meals were first sent to Su Qiao for inspection, and then Song Zhen delivered them to her personally. Such changes were soon known to Aunt Zhou.

Although Aunt Zhou was grounded, the maid and woman beside her were not.

. Naturally, some maids and women learned these words from Aunt Zhou.
