New widow

The child hummed in understanding. Aunt Su put away her thoughts, took the child's hand and left. No matter what the reason was for Su Qiao and Song Zhen to come back this time, her identity would not change, and that was enough.

Aunt Wu heard the conversation between Aunt Su and Aunt Su and glanced back. Song Zhen had already said to Aunt Wu: "Auntie still cares about these things?"

"The original was the original, and the present is now." Mother Wu said vaguely, and Song Zhen smiled: "If you care about it, then stay in the capital."

"Look at what you said, I just miss it occasionally. After all, I have lived in this Duke's mansion for almost sixty years." The sigh in Aunt Wu's words made Song Zhen silent. Everyone is different. Nanny Wu has been serving in the palace since she was a child. From a little maid who worked as a rough messenger, she became a personal maid, and was married to Manager Wu. After having children, she still served in the palace. For Aunt Wu, the Duke's Mansion is her home.

"Why didn't you stay longer?" Su Qiao's voice had already sounded. Song Zhen also put away her thoughts and smiled at Su Qiao: "If you are late, it will be against the law, so go back in a hurry."

"I forgot about this." Su Qiao's tone was still as calm as before. Song Zhen wanted to ask Su Qiao what was on her mind and how to deal with the Kuang family, but Song Zhen knew that even if she asked, Su Qiao didn't know how to answer, so Song Zhen smiled: "Speaking of which, I haven't had a good sleep in a while. I want to take a good rest today."

"I asked them to get hot water quickly." Aunt Wu was also waiting there. The smile on Su Qiao's face made Song Zhen sigh softly. Su Qiao looked at her: "What are you sighing for?"

"I was just wondering why..." Song Zhen blurted out. Su Qiao had already patted Song Zhen's hand: "You don't have to worry about me."

"Aunt Kuang, I am no longer a child." Song Zhen said seriously. Su Qiao naturally knew that Song Zhen was no longer a child, but there were some things that Su Qiao was not willing to involve Song Zhen in. She only wanted to He continued: "Fifth Aunt treats you very well. If anything happens, she can protect you from the wind and rain. As for the other things, you don't have to worry about it."

"Why?" Song Zhen still wanted an answer persistently, and the smile on Su Qiao's face did not change. Why, Su Qiao also wanted to know this question, but Su Qiao knew better. The so-called rules are that they cannot be questioned or challenged, otherwise , you will be criticized by everyone, and even lose your life.

"Hurry and freshen up, go to sleep." Suqiao still said this, and the maid had already walked in with hot water. Song Zhen knew that she would not get an answer if she asked again, so Song Zhen could only go to freshen up, and then, Lying down on the bed made by the maid, this bed was much more comfortable than Song Zhen's bed in the small yard, but Song Zhen always felt that she couldn't fall asleep. What the world saw as a life of glory and wealth was nothing to Song Zhen. A burden.

Mrs. Song came to the door the day after Su Qiao came back. Su Qiao and Mrs. Song Wu brought Mrs. Song in. Mrs. Song exchanged a few words with Su Qiao, then smiled at Su Qiao and said, "We In such a family, it is inevitable that someone will spread some rumors outside, and we also know that those rumors are not credible, but..."

"Sister-in-law, just say it directly. It's so convoluted that I'm afraid I don't believe it myself." Su Qiao said with a smile. Mrs. Song's face changed slightly, and then she continued: "You are a person after all. It is extremely important for a widow to keep her reputation."

Mrs. Song Wu couldn't help but cough lightly. When Mrs. Song heard Mrs. Song Wu's cough, she made up her mind and said to Su Qiao: "There are rumors from outside that when you are outside, even though it is in the name of keeping a clean mind, you are still... Hooking up with men, and even spreading rumors about your father outside, causing your father to lose his official position."

Mrs. Song Wu's expression suddenly changed, but Su Qiao still looked at Mrs. Song: "Sister-in-law, what is the purpose of coming here today? Let's just finish it all at once."

"You know, your eldest brother has been unemployed for a year." Mrs. Song was still walking around in circles. Suqiao looked at Mrs. Song: "So, the uncle went to find the way to Nanyang Marquis, thinking, Let me, this troublemaker, become a monk, or simply die, and the Marquis of Nanyang will promise to give uncle some benefits?"

Mrs. Song's expression suddenly became very ugly, and then Mrs. Song said: "You just like to make wild guesses. How can your uncle be from the British government? How can you find the connections to Nanyang Marquis? As for your It is only natural for you, a widow, to become a monk."

Su Qiao laughed loudly, Mrs. Song was already looking at her, Su Qiao said lightly: "Sister-in-law is really good at talking, it's just a pity."

What's a pity? Mrs. Song suddenly felt something was wrong, and she heard Suqiao whisper: "Firstly, I will not become a monk. Secondly, although I am a widow of the Song family, as long as I remarry, I will not become a monk." She is the widow of the Song family again."

Not to mention Mrs. Song at this moment, Mrs. Song Wu looked at Su Qiao in surprise. Mrs. Song reacted first, patted the table and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Marry, you, a widow, want to get married." , you know, this brings shame to our Song family."

"How come you have disgraced the Song family?" Su Qiao still looked at Mrs. Song, who sneered: "A woman must be chaste and quiet. How could you, a widow, marry into our Duke's house?" , even if Tian En was granted, you should be extremely grateful. Who knew that your fate would be bad, but you killed your third uncle and caused many troubles. We felt pity for you, so we endured it and let you take Zhen'er with you. Qingxiu outside, who knew you would cause so many troubles outside, and now you even talk about getting married."

"It is natural for a widow to remarry." Su Qiao only said these eight words. In Mrs. Song's ears, these eight words were like eight thunders. She stretched out her hand and was about to hit Su Qiao on the face: " I think you developed such a temper because you didn’t have the guidance of your elders.”

Suqiao had already squeezed Mrs. Song's hand: "Try giving it a try."

"Here comes someone!" Mrs. Song's wrist was pinched by Su Qiao and she couldn't move. She could only call for someone in a loud voice. Mrs. Song Wu had already spoken: "Sister-in-law, you'd better not call for someone. This matter, we It’s your own home and you can solve it yourself.”

"Who doesn't know that you and she are wearing the same pair of pants?" Mrs. Song opened her mouth and said this. Mrs. Song Wu looked a little ugly: "Sister-in-law, why bother trying to reach out to others like this?"

"Am I trying to get you?" Mrs. Song sneered: "I know you are grateful to her. If it weren't for her, you would still be in the nunnery right now, but you have to know that you are the daughter-in-law of the Song family. A daughter-in-law must be restrained by the Song family."
