Chapter 138: A Prophecy
Mrs. Fang told her to be speechless, and when she was about to retort, she saw a girl wearing a peach-colored carved silk silver mouse jacket walking in quickly, saluting everyone, and said to Du Rongzhi, "Young lady, Miss Sun is a little troublesome today, and the nurses can't be coaxed well, do you want to go over and take a look?" β
Du Rongzhi threw an appreciative look at her, and then looked at Mrs. Du, "Mother, Guan'erβ"
Mrs. Du nodded, "The child has to adapt to the change of environment for a while, so you can go quickly." β
Du Rongzhi responded with a smile, then got up and saluted the two elders respectfully, and under Mrs. Fang's angry and helpless gaze, she led the girl and her mother-in-law to retreat.
Mrs. Fang watched Du Rongzhi go out, and said angrily, "I used to say that the eldest brother and sister-in-law used Sister Zhi too much...... You also saw it just now, does she have half the appearance of a junior? β
Mrs. Du, who had asked Mrs. Fang to criticize the whole family since early in the morning, was also annoyed, she stroked her forehead and said lightly, "Mrs. Gu too, how could you say those words in front of Miss Zhi just now?" She is a daughter-in-law herself, and she still crosses the river by feeling the stones, where can she tell her sister to be a matchmaker? It's not a joke when this gets out. β
Mrs. Fang leaned back in her chair in frustration and said with red eyes, "Isn't there nothing I can do about it?" She held the handkerchief and cried, "If the eldest brother and sister-in-law are willing to help with my family's Xue'er's affairs, why should I go to a junior?" β
Mrs. Du frowned, "What are you talking about?" If we don't care about Yingxue, how could your eldest brother choose the descendants of Lord Liu's family in the first place? β
The corners of Mrs. Fang's lips under the handkerchief hooked up with a touch of disdain: If she is really good to her Xue'er, why is her daughter the young master of the Gonghou family, but she wants her daughter to be a daughter-in-law for a stunned Qing?
said on his lips, "But after all, Lord Liu has committed an accident, who knows if there will be a chance to return to Beijing in the future?" I am such a girl as Yingxue, how can I be willing to marry her to a place where rabbits don't and suffer? She said and looked at Mrs. Du pitifully, "Sister-in-law can help me persuade my eldest brother, if I don't even care about you, what will I do with Yingxue!" As he spoke, he hid his face and began to cry.
Mrs. Du rubbed her eyebrows tiredly, "It's not that you don't know your eldest brother's temperament, how can he change what he decides so easily...... What's more, it was us who said that we were going to get married, and now we are the ones who have rebelled, and I really can't complain that your eldest brother is angry......"
"So what now?" Mrs. Fang cried, "Could it be that the eldest brother still has to ignore the happiness of his niece for the sake of an outsider?" β
Mrs. Du sighed and persuaded, "Xue'er is still young, and her appearance and temperament are excellent, as long as you are not too picky and find an honest and reliable family for her, it is not impossible to find a ......."
What honest and reliable people? It's clear that she can't find a good in-law because she saw her daughter die!
Mrs. Fang tightened her handkerchief and stared at Mrs. Du, "What does that sister-in-law mean, is it really impossible to help my sister with this?" β
Mrs. Du shook her head, "Your eldest brother has always felt ashamed of Lord Liu, how can he come forward to Zhang Luo Yingxue's family affairs again?" There's really nothing you can do. What's more, marriage has its own destiny, maybe it's just fateβ"
"Enough!" Mrs. Fang stood up and said angrily, "If your sister-in-law doesn't help, she won't help, what are you doing with so many cool words!" I've seen it through - what my closest relatives and what my mother's family relies on, it's all! It's also my Xue'er's bad life, and she is so ruthless to her uncle and aunt! If you can't get married, you can't get married, and the Hengzhu Fang family doesn't send her a bite to eat, if she can't survive anymore, it's a big deal to send her to the temple as a sister-in-law! With that, he pushed the girl who was about to change the tea to the side, flicked his sleeves and walked out.
The people of the Fang family were dumbfounded, and they didn't react until they were gone, and hurriedly blessed Mrs. Du and hurriedly chased them out.
β¦β¦
Du Rongzhi went back to her boudoir.
Wan'er asked the nurse to go to sleep, and Du Rongzhi sat on the kang table with her cheeks up.
In her previous life, Fang Yingxue's marriage was delayed - a decent family was unwilling to marry a woman who had withdrawn, and an aunt with mediocre family affairs looked down on her...... Although many of the daughters of famous families only got married at seventeen or eighteen, most of the marriages were decided before the marriage, and the aunt tossed for half a year, seeing that it was really hopeless to marry into a wealthy family, so she put the idea on Song Zixun......
What about this life? 's father will not be involved in the fraud case, the Du family is still powerful, she and Song Zixun can also maintain the decent respect that husband and wife should have, will Fang Yingxue still commit herself to Song Zixun as a concubine in her previous life......
The teacup landed on the table with a soft sound.
Du Rongzhi came back to her senses and was about to reach out to end it, only to see that the fingers of the hands were slender and the bones were distinct, she was stunned for a moment, and raised her head to meet the familiar eyes.
Du Rongzhi hurriedly stood up.
"You're back?" She smiled sweetly, only to realize that Qinghe and the others, who were still serving in the house before, had retreated at some point.
"What were you thinking?" He took her by the hand and sat down, "I didn't hear me when I came in." β
"It's nothing ......" Du Rongzhi subconsciously wanted to deny it, but changed her mind in an instant.
She curled her lips, "When I saw my aunt just now, I suddenly remembered what happened at home before. β
"Oh?" He casually took her hand and played with it in the palm of his hand, "Listen to my aunt's tone today...... The words are somewhat similar to the second aunt. β
"Auntie, she always does." Du Rongzhi covered her lips and smiled, "You don't know, I used to think that my father and mother were too pampered to me, and every time my aunt came back, she always had to preach, and she often heard that the concubine was drowsy. Even our marriage in the first placeβ" She was speechless and kept her mouth shut.
Song Zixun was interested, grabbed her and asked, "What's wrong with our marriage?" Doesn't my aunt also have any high opinions? β
Du Rongzhi shook her head and prevaricated, "It's just the words that some elders care about......"
"What's that? Let's hear it. Although he had a smile on his face, there was no refuge in his eyes.
Du Rongzhi pursed her lips, "Actually, it's nothing," Seeing that Song Zixun raised her eyebrows unhappily, she pretended to be cautious and said, "It's just that at that time, my aunt was very optimistic about this family business, and said......" She glanced at him quickly, and reluctantly said, "It's not a coincidence, and the concubine is in a hurry to like you, even if she enters the door in the future, ......"
Song Zixun's face was no longer good-looking, although he didn't know if it was a good word, he still asked with a smile, "How about entering the door?" β
Du Rongzhi lowered her eyes and whispered, "Even if you enter the door, you won't cherish me." β
Speaking of which, although Aunt Fang has been poisonous all her life, she can really be called to the point in her relationship with Song Zixun, and her words are proverbial.
