Chapter 236: Mother is too distracted

"My aunt, you're back!"

Qinghe had just finished instructing the little girl not to tell Du Rongzhi about the gossip outside, and as soon as she entered the house, she was pulled by Red Peony and Green Jacky like saviors.

Qinghe was stunned, and his eyes hurriedly looked at Du Rongzhi.

She was sitting quietly on the couch with her back to them, not knowing what to think.

…… It doesn't look like a seizure.

Hong Shao lowered her voice and said, "On a whim, the young lady just wanted to find the clothes made for Miss Sun......" She paused, "You don't know, the clothes have already been wrenched by the young lady, where can you find the ......?"

Qinghe hurriedly said, "Then what did you say?" ”

Lu Wei said helplessly, "Where do we dare to say anything...... Naturally, I pretended to look for it for a while, and finally said that I couldn't find it. But the young lady refused to believe it, and searched for a long time......" she said and snorted on the couch, "and then the man was like this." ”

Qinghe was silent, and before he could say anything, he heard Du Rongzhi ask, "Is Qinghe back?" ”

"Yes." Qinghe hurriedly responded, and whispered to the two of them to go to eat first, and then walked in with a smile, "Didn't the young lady say two days ago that she wanted to eat osmanthus sugar dew?" The slave went to pick someβ€”"

"That's not in a hurry." Du Rongzhi interrupted, "Qinghe, I can't find the clothes I made for Wan'er......" There was a hint of confusion in her eyes, "I obviously remember that I put it there, but I can't find it...... Do you know where to put it? ”

Qinghe felt uncomfortable for a while, and deliberately smiled, "You forgot? Last time, you gave your clothes to your sister to compare, and found that they were already a little small...... So she asked Mama An to take it home and dress it for her granddaughter. "An Yanzeng's eldest just gave birth to a daughter last month......

Du Rongzhi frowned lightly and hesitated, "Is there such a thing...... Then why did I ask them just now, and they didn't know ......?"

Qinghe paused and said with a smile, "When the young lady gave her clothes to Mama that day, the two of them were not in front of her, so they didn't know ......."

Du Rongzhi let out a light "oh" and smiled in a daze, "I don't even remember at all......"

Her memory seems to have deteriorated lately, and sometimes she can't remember what she has just finished on her front foot...... She didn't know what was wrong with her.

Qinghe saw that her face was stunned and a little distracted, and she was about to open her mouth to divert her attention, when she suddenly saw a girl coming in from outside, and said crisply, "Young lady, Mrs. Du is here." ”

………………………………………

"Why is Mother free to come here today?" Du Rongzhi personally served hot tea to Mrs. Du, and then sat down on the pestle next to her and asked softly.

Mrs. Du lifted the lid of the tea, skimmed the floating leaves in the tea bowl, but looked at Du Rongzhi.

She wore a rouge dress today, and the delicate color made her little face more and more plain, and the clothes hung on her slender body and shook straight.

Seeing that her daughter's expression has always been pale since she entered the house, and she was not very happy, Mrs. Du also knew that Du Rongzhi was still unhappy about the fact that she was not allowed to reconcile with Song Zixun last time, so she quietly took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I said that when you get better, I will take you to live in your house for two days, and the house will be cleaned up for you in the morning...... Why didn't I see you go back? ”

Du Rong stared at the peony flower pattern on the skirt and smiled, "I am recuperating everywhere, and I don't want to cause trouble to my father and mother." ”

Mrs. Du's smile froze, and she looked at her with a complicated expression for a long time before she sighed lightly, "Ah Zhi, are you still blaming your mother for the events of that day?" ”

The hand in Du Rongzhi's sleeve clenched unconsciously, and slowly let go...... She raised her head and smiled at Mrs. Du with a well-behaved smile, "My daughter didn't ...... Mother is too careful. ”

Mrs. Du looked at her smile that did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and her heart couldn't help but be sour, and after a while, she choked up and said, "You were conceived and born by your mother in October...... Do you think I feel good when I watch you and your uncle get into trouble like this? ”

Du Rongzhi's eyes were slightly hot, she lowered her eyes, and shook her head indifferently, "My daughter didn't think like that......"

Mrs. Du sighed, took her hand, and said earnestly, "I know that you have a grudge against your uncle in your heart, and you even dislike the people of the entire Guogong Mansion. But Ah Zhi, no matter what, she has to live this day...... You just don't plan for yourself, so you might as well think about it for Wan'er......" She paused, "In everything, you have to leave some room for yourself and your uncle......"

Du Rongzhi raised her head, looked at her mother with a look of wanting to speak, and couldn't help but whisper, "Mother, you...... What do you want to tell your daughter? ”

When the servants in the room heard this, their faces changed, and Qinghe hurriedly stepped forward and smiled, "Madam, I'm afraid this tea is a little cold, the slave will give you another cup." As he spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Du.

It's a pity that Mrs. Du is now all focused on Du Rongzhi, and she didn't even glance at her reminder, so she asked thoughtfully, "A while ago, but your mother-in-law's cousin came to the house?" ”

Du Rongzhi was stunned, and after a long time, she remembered who Mrs. Du was talking about. I saw that the light in her eyes that was so easy to ignite also dimmed, and she said indifferently, "Okay, why did my mother suddenly mention this person?" ”

Seeing Du Rongzhi like this, Mrs. Du had already believed the rumors in her heart, and couldn't help sighing, and said helplessly, "That Mrs. Luo is a master who loves to tell right and wrong, you are in your own house, and you are just a man with your uncle, why bother to provoke her...... Now she's spreading rumors about you all over the place, saying you'reβ€”"

"So, the mother came here today, not to visit her daughter, but for these rumors?" Before Mrs. Du finished speaking, Du Rongzhi suddenly interrupted stiffly, and her tone was extremely cold.

This kind of Du Rongzhi felt that Mrs. Du was a little weird, but she couldn't say anything wrong for a while, so she suddenly lowered her face unhappily and said, "Ah Zhi, my mother told you all this for your own good." ”

"You're doing it for my good, of course." The corners of Du Rongzhi's mouth were so cold that they couldn't be more cold, "And I'm afraid it's not just for me, right?" She asked mockingly, "Is the mother worried that her daughter's reputation will affect the good marriage of the sisters in the family in the future?" ”

Mrs. Du had never heard Du Rongzhi speak so harshly, and she couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the words, and suddenly exclaimed softly, "Ah Zhi! ”

Du Rongzhi turned a deaf ear and said to herself, "Or is my mother more worried that my father will be impeached by the officials, saying that he has no way to teach his daughter?" Or will my brothers be looked down upon for having a sister like me? ”
