Chapter 15: Humility and Propriety

Mrs. Du smiled, "Let her in." He turned to Du Rongzhi and said, "I'm afraid I know that you will come back today, come and take a look." ”

Du Rongzhi nodded.

Aunt Zhao was her mother's dowry, and her mother married into the Du family for three years without children, so she gave her to her father. She was also very competitive, and soon became pregnant with a child, and later gave birth to a boy, and her mother took charge of raising her as an aunt, and the boy was also raised under her mother's knees, that is, the eldest brother Du Yunting.

After another two years, my mother gave birth to herself, and my father's other concubines also gave birth to several younger sisters one after another, but there were no more boys in the family. It is precisely because of this that Aunt Zhao's mother has always been favored by her father by virtue of her son. But fortunately, Aunt Zhao is a grateful person, no matter how much her father dotes on her, she is still respectful and humble as ever when she serves her mother, and she is also very good to Du Rongzhi, Du Rongzhi made many gadgets when she was a child, and she has the impression that Aunt Zhao is always gentle and soft-spoken, and Du Rongzhi also likes her.

In fact, it's not just Du Rongzhi, Mrs. Du saw that she had been conscientious and conscientious all these years, and she didn't fight or rob, and she also had a lot of pity for her, and because she was weak after giving birth to a son, she was even exempted from saving every morning and dusk, but Aunt Zhao always said that it was not in accordance with the rules, and she still insisted on serving by her mother's side every day.

The curtain was quickly lifted from outside, and a woman with a beautiful face wearing a pink flower-sprinkled gown came forward and respectfully saluted Mrs. Du.

Mrs. Du motioned for her to get up, "Didn't you just serve me this morning...... Because you were weak, you went back to rest, why did you come here again? He asked the little girl to come over with a pestle.

Aunt Zhao sat down lightly and said with a smile, "I heard that the girl said that Sister Zhi is back, so I thought about coming over to see ......" and looked at Du Rongzhi again, and praised, "I haven't seen it for a few days, and I see that my sister's color is getting better and better." ”

Du Rongzhi smiled shyly and half-lowered her eyes.

The Jinpa in her hand was twisted and deformed by her master, and Du Rongzhi held back the turbulent waves in her heart.

That's how it is...... So that's it!

Three years later, a scandal occurred in Prince Bao's mansion where a concubine framed the main house, which made Jin Sixue, who was known for her expensiveness, famous. Only then did the world know: it turned out that this golden silk snow not only smelled elegant and good, but also had a faint fragrance after some refining of the rhizomes. Both of these are non-toxic and harmless elegant things, especially the fragrance of rhizomes is faint and almost inaudible, but if these two breaths are mixed together, they can become invisible poisons that kill people.

In the past, the favored concubine of Prince Bao's Mansion was the maidservant of the princess, and mixed the incense powder refined from the rhizome of Jin Sixue into the princess's fat powder box, resulting in the death of the mother and son of the prince and princess who were pregnant with Liujia...... This matter was later revealed because the servant girl repeatedly blackmailed and failed, Prince Bao was furious and beat the favorite concubine to death, this scandal was also known to everyone, and it made countless famous families panic, lest there was such a femme fatale poisonous woman in the family, and Jin Sixue, who was once famous in the capital, has been completely lost in the wealthy family......

At that time, out of curiosity, she asked the shopkeeper in the shop to get a box. The smell is really very light, even if you get closer, you can only barely smell it, if it is mixed with other rouge fragrances, ordinary people will not be able to detect it. If it weren't for the fact that she was blind in her previous life, her sense of hearing and smell had become extremely sensitive, and she couldn't tell the difference, but Aunt Zhao also had a special fragrance of fresh jasmine flowers on her body......

Du Rongzhi took a deep breath, and when she raised her head again, she still had a sweet smile on her face.

Mother is still talking to Aunt Zhao...... Aunt Zhao leaned forward slightly, her eyes focused and reverent, and she responded softly from time to time.

The sun shone on her mother's slightly emaciated cheeks, and Du Rongzhi's eyes were swollen and a little painful.

…… Mother was afraid that in the end, she didn't know that she died at the hands of this seemingly humble and respectful, always gentle and harmless Aunt Zhao......

Mrs. Du caught a glimpse of Du Rongzhi's faint expression, and only absentmindedly hooked the Nanzhu bracelet on her wrist, thinking that she was bored by listening, so she said a few words to Aunt Zhao and sent her away.

"But tired of listening?" Mrs. Du asked with a smile.

"No," Du Rongzhi smiled and grabbed her mother's arm, "It's just that my daughter rarely comes back and wants to talk to her mother more." As she spoke, she couldn't help but think, "Does Aunt Zhao still come to greet you every day?" ”

"Not really." Mrs. Du said angrily, "I have told her many times, but she just refused, saying that she couldn't break the rules." Besides, you have been married in the past few days, and your mother ...... in her heart," Mrs. Du paused, "she came to be my companion, and the days passed faster." ”

Du Rongzhi's heart softened, and she said glutinously, "Mother ......"

"Okay, okay, don't cry anymore." Mrs. Du was busy patting her, and seeing that the time was almost up, she asked people to go to the front to invite Master Du and Song Zixun in the study, and Du Yunting and his wife, and everyone had lunch together in the flower hall.

After the meal, Song Zixun was pulled by Du Yunting to play chess, and Master Du went back to the study.

Du Rongzhi sat with Mrs. Du for a while, and when she saw that her expression was a little bad, she told her mother that she wanted to go back to her boudoir, so she came out of Mrs. Du's yard and went straight to her father's study.
