New widow

So Su Qiao and Mrs. Song Wu looked at each other, and then Su Qiao said: "Since we are choosing a child for us, it would be better to ask the sisters-in-law in the clan who have suitable children to bring their children in and join us tomorrow." say something."

"Okay, okay, good compatibility is also the most important thing when choosing an heir." Uncle Song nodded in agreement. Mr. Song was very confident, so he naturally agreed. Master Eleven smiled: "You are really thoughtful."

"Besides, third nephew and daughter-in-law, you have been here for so many days, and you haven't met the sisters-in-law in the clan. It's time to meet them." Uncle Song was so satisfied that he naturally agreed with everyone, so the matter was settled. , Suqiao and Mrs. Song Wu sent them out.

After they left, Mrs. Song Wu sighed softly: "I always feel that something is wrong with this matter."

"How many years has it been since Uncle Wu passed away?" Su Qiao asked, and Mrs. Song Wu showed a trace of sadness on her face: "In total, it has been eight years."

He had not thought about establishing an heir for eight years. After Song An passed away, he also thought about establishing an heir for Master Song Wu. At this moment, he had just said that he would choose a child from three-month-old babies, and the Song family suddenly thought of raising an heir for Song Wu. The master has an heir. It would be strange to say that there are no ghosts in it.

"When my uncle was still alive, he also said that he would create an heir for his husband." Mrs. Song Wu said softly, and then added: "It's just that at that time, the third sister-in-law was still alive. When she saw the opposition within the clan, the third sister-in-law was relieved. I said that in the future, if one of my concubines gives birth to a child, he will give it to me as his son."

To establish an heir for the fifth master of Song Dynasty, the natural choice would be from the nearest Song An, but Song An did not have a son. If Suqiao thought of such a possibility,

He said to Mrs. Song Wu: "If you had established an heir, if the Duke of the country was gone, whose head would the title fall to?"

Father and son inherit each other, and brothers will succeed to each other. Song An died without a son. If the fifth master Song had a son, the title would fall on the heir of the fifth master Song. Mrs. Song Wu had already smiled bitterly: "At that time, the third sister-in-law believed that someone would always give birth to a son."

"I'm afraid someone has been eyeing this title for a long time, and they won't tolerate the female relatives in this family giving birth to a son." Su Qiao's words made Mrs. Song Wu's eyes red: "Later, the third sister-in-law also passed away, and I saw the newly married woman entering the house. The third sister-in-law is also docile, so she thought that if the new third sister-in-law can give birth to two sons, then we will have a wife."

Who knew that the new Duke's wife would die before giving birth to a son. Su Qiao thought of Aunt Su's madness when she lost her child. Those people were already crazy for the title of Duke.

"Sister-in-law." Mrs. Song Wu suddenly reached out and grabbed Su Qiao's sleeve: "You tell me, if they are still like this, I'm afraid the heir you brought will not be able to raise him well."

"I'm not afraid of them." Su Qiao smiled coldly, and then Su Qiao comforted Mrs. Song Wu: "In the eyes of others, I have no foundation in this house, but it is better to have no foundation at all."

How can it be good to have no foundation at all? Mrs. Song Wu looked at Su Qiao in confusion, and Su Qiao smiled: "If I want to take action, I won't be afraid of other people's remarks, and I won't care about who is involved behind the scenes."

The two wives of the Duke of Guo had maids and servants in their dowries. When these maids and servants entered the Duke of Guo's mansion, the situation in the Duke's mansion could only become more complicated.

Suqiao only brought one Xi'er

, in the eyes of others, there is absolutely no one available. But if there is no one available, it will be more clean and neat to deal with the servants, regardless of whether anyone is involved behind the scenes.

After all, the status of master and servant has been determined, and if a servant disobeys his master, it is enough to make the servant irrecoverable.

Mrs. Song Wu was also from an official family. She had never heard such words before and couldn't help but exclaimed: "I'm confused."

"Aunt Fifth, you are not confused. You are just weighing the pros and cons. Many times, when you are weighing the pros and cons, you forget your true intentions." Su Qiao's words made Mrs. Song Wu blink, and then Mrs. Song Wu sighed: "Yes, just weigh the pros and cons. Everything has to be put there and weighed, and many times you will fall into other people’s traps.”

Su Qiao patted Mrs. Song Wu's hand, and Mrs. Song Wu had already said to Su Qiao: "Sister-in-law Third, if you think of it, go ahead and do it. I still have a few people here."

It has been more than [-] years since Mrs. Song Wu married into the Duke's Mansion. Although she has lived in a nunnery since then, she is still surrounded by maids and women who serve her. Some of the maids who were brought in as escorts have also married the housekeepers of the mansion. These people are naturally Mrs. Song Wu’s confidant.

At this time, Su Qiaoxiao was able to establish herself in the Duke's Mansion. She did not say any polite words to Mrs. Song Wu, but just smiled and said: "In this case, if necessary, I will definitely discuss it with Mrs. Wu." Aunt said."

"It should be." After Mrs. Song Wu finished speaking, she remembered her thoughts about Su Qiao when Song An passed away, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed. Su Qiao and she were different people.

In the evening, two housekeepers came to pay their respects to Suqiao, and Suqiao met one of them often. see element

Coincidentally, Mrs. Huang smiled and said: "Greetings to Madam, I have heard from our young lady that Madam is very capable and is a husband among women."

"Yes, yes, our young lady treated us kindly and allowed us to stay in the Duke's Mansion. We will never forget which family we are originally from. Those who think that just because they have a status can yell at us. , which of our eyes can see it?" Another woman also said with a smile. Suqiao listened to them and knew that they were all Mrs. Song Wu's dowry maids, so Suqiao smiled and said: "You two are so smart. , why was your lady so willing to marry you off in the first place?"

"It's better to marry in this house than to marry outside. Besides, this is because the young lady loves us." The other woman, who was smarter than Mrs. Huang, was already talking along.

"You are so smart and open your mouth. What is your husband's surname?" Suqiao became interested and asked there.

"My husband's family name is Liu, and he is responsible for buying those rouge and gouache." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Liu sighed: "It's just now. I'm afraid I won't be able to do this errand of buying rouge and gouache."

After Song An's death, everyone in the house must observe filial piety. Naturally, one should not put on makeup or powder to observe filial piety. The purchase of this rouge and gouache naturally stopped.

Suqiao nodded: "That's true, but this matter will be settled later."

"Madam said so. As for me, I will first thank Madam on behalf of my husband." After saying this, Mrs. Liu knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Su Qiao.

Mrs. Huang also knelt down to Su Qiao: "Since sister has kowtowed, then I will also kowtow to Madam." Su Qiao did not stop the two of them, and waited for them to bow a few times as if holding candles.

, Su Qiao then asked the two of them to stand up: "Don't worry, since you are the fifth aunt's family, I will naturally trust you."
