Chapter 182: The Corrupt Du Mansion Inside
Du Yan spent another day with Xiao Ruoyan, and in the early morning of the second day, a little palace maid told Du Yan that the tenth princess had gone to prepare for the wedding ceremony and could not accompany her.
Du Yan grinned, as if everyone was looking forward to it, this prosperous wedding was finally going to be held as scheduled. She was not idle this day, although it was Xiao Ruoyan's wedding, but the current master of the horse is also her brother.
As a grandson of the An family, she had to give the An family a face on the wedding day, so Du Yan made an appointment with Xiao Dongzi outside the city to see her custom-made clothes in person today.
Du Yan took Fei'er to the palace gate, and saw Xiao Dongzi waiting outside at a glance, Xiao Dongzi beckoned to Du Yan happily, and he became more and more enthusiastic after not seeing him for a few days.
When the two approached, they were about to say something, but when they saw Xiao Dongzi's face blue and purple, Du Yan frowned, and said in her heart that she was just a person, how could she still be jealous?
"What's going on?" Du Yan raised her hand and gently touched Xiao Dongzi's face, and Xiao Dongzi grinned in pain.
Xiao Dongzi felt that it was not a big deal, he had been beaten too many times before, and he didn't care at all. But when he saw Du Yan's seriousness, Xiao Dongzi was also stunned.
"It's okay Miss, let's go."
Bumps are a common thing for subordinates, but the injury on Xiao Dongzi's face is clearly deliberately done by someone, this Du Yan can't bear it, so he looked at Xiao Dongzi angrily and said, "From the truth, do you still need me to investigate?" ”
Xiao Dongzi shrank when he heard this, and he was a little aggrieved when he remembered what had happened in the past two days.
"Miss, you can get into the carriage first, and we'll talk as we go." Du Yan heard that she got into the carriage, and the carriage went away, Du Yan was still thinking about it when she was on the road, so she asked again.
Out of the imperial city, Xiao Dongzi no longer concealed it and said directly: "It's nothing, it's just that some people in the house are cheap, I scolded them a few words, and then they fought, Miss who doesn't hurt, I have rough skin and thick meat, and I am durable." After Xiao Dongzi finished speaking, he grinned at Du Yan, and the child was sunny.
Du Yan lowered her head, she didn't expect that Du Mansion had become like this now, if she fought privately in the past, she would definitely be punished, but now it seems that Du Chuanlin has no time to take care of this family at all.
"What about the housekeeper, he doesn't care?" Du Yan remembered the kind old housekeeper, Du Mansion has been taken care of by the old housekeeper for many years, so there has been nothing serious, and he must know that Xiao Dongzi was beaten this time.
Xiao Dongzi heard Du Yan talk about the old housekeeper, and lost his mind for a moment: "Miss, the housekeeper has been dismissed, and now he should be farming in his hometown, eh, I don't know when I will be able to see him again." ”
"Dismissal?? Who resigned?? Du Yan's eyes widened in shock when he heard the news, the housekeeper had been working in Du Mansion since he was young, and Du Chuanlin also trusted him a lot, how could he suddenly dismiss.
"It's the second miss, one day the second miss said that she lost something, and then found it in the housekeeper's room, and the second miss used this reason to quit the housekeeper, and there were other old people in the house, two
After the young lady resigned from them, she changed to a new batch of maids, and now it is not the same as before. ”
Du Yan is angry, is this Du Juan'er already so domineering in Du Mansion now, when she wants to quit the people in Du Mansion, she will quit. If this continues, won't the Du Mansion be similar to the Rogue Mansion in another two years.
Seeing that Du Yan was angry, Xiao Dongzi hurriedly said good words: "Actually, in fact, the people recruited by the second miss are also fine, maybe they are not familiar, and they will be fine in the future." ”
Du Yan shook her head secretly, she knew that Du Juan'er wanted to completely control Du Mansion by doing this, those old guys before were all following Du Mansion at the very beginning, and many of them would be more towards Du Yan, if she, the later young lady, really wanted to gain a foothold, she really had to quit them, Du Yan thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to appease the old guy, after all, they also watched Du Yan grow up.
"Xiao Dongzi, you bear with it for a while. When I return home after the wedding of the tenth princess, I will get you some silver, and then you will give some coils one by one according to the residences of those old fellows, which can be regarded as the last thing I can do. "No matter how much Du Yan can't do, she is about to lose power, and she may lose her freedom, so before that, she has to appease these old guys for her mother, after all, an acquaintance is also fate.
Xiao Dongzi nodded violently when he heard this, and looked at Du Yan with a stupid smile. Du Yan looked at Xiao Dongzi's smile and felt a lot more at ease, she didn't have anything to say about the decline of Du Mansion, she could only do her best to give these people a little comfort.
Du Yan took Fei'er and Xiao Dongzi to go out for a day, and bought a bunch of clothes and jewelry, but fortunately, Du Yan had a lot of pocket money since she was a child, and even if Du Fu no longer gave her huge support now, she still has a lot of money in her sleeves, and it is not a problem to squander and squander.
The three of them returned to Du Mansion with the things they bought, and when they entered the door, they remembered the gangsters newly recruited by Du Juan'er, and stopped Xiao Dongzi when he turned around: "Stop, you just follow me in the past few days, just go to the side room to sleep at night, if someone asks, you say this is what I mean, if someone bullies you, you tell me." I, Du Yan, am the eldest lady of Du Mansion for a day, and this family will give me some face. ”
Xiao Dongzi looked at Du Yan, almost squeezed out her tears with gratitude, and nodded violently when she heard her words. Du Yan saw that he was well-behaved, smiled and went in, the Hehuan Courtyard was still like this, and no one came to clean it in the days when she was away.
Du Yan went into the house to see the clothes she bought today, some satisfied and some not very satisfied, she had been on the first day of October since Ling Shui came back, not to mention that she had to guard against Du Juan'er, and she didn't have time to think about what she should wear for Xiao Ruoyan's wedding banquet.
Du Yan was annoyed, and Xiao Dongzi shouted in the courtyard with a somewhat anxious voice.
"Miss, Miss, someone has sent something!"
Du Yan walked out when she heard this, looked at the panicked little Dongzi and said, "What did you send?" ”
Xiao Dongzi's face was about to fly with joy, and she held it in her hand
The valuable box was transferred to Du Yan's eyes.
"I don't know, but I heard that it was sent from the palace, young lady." Du Yan looked at the box and knew that the contents were valuable, so she hurriedly asked Xiao Dongzi to send the things to the house.
Du Yan just wanted to go into the house to take a look, but another person arrived behind.
The little maid saw Du Yan respectfully, and she was also holding a box in her hand, which looked equally valuable, Du Yan twitched the corners of her eyebrows, what kind of day is this. Du Yan accepted the box and looked carefully around the box.
