I don’t know how Chu Dunru talked with Mr. Xue, but Mr. Xue came to pick up Mrs. Xue in the afternoon of the next day.

However, Mrs. Xue did not go with him. She only said that she would take care of her daughter after the confinement period.

Mr. Xue could not break into the Chu family's inner house without permission, so he had to return angrily.

On this trip, he brought many apology gifts to Chu Yin, including a donation of 3000 taels of silver and two shops to Jiahui Girls' School.

Two days later, Mr. Xue came to visit again, and this time he brought Mrs. Xue some of her favorite snacks.

Still unable to see Mrs.

Mr. Xue was surprised: "Confinement confinement, confinement confinement, isn't it enough to sit for a full month?"

When Mr. Xue came, Chu Dunru was naturally accompanying him personally. Hearing this, he said lightly: "Giving birth is a matter of life and death for a woman.

"It takes more time to strengthen the foundation. My late wife had to sit for 42 days in both confinement periods.

"My late mother took good care of her. Not only did she not let her suffer any injustice, she also often found ways to relieve her boredom.

"Yingying doesn't have a mother-in-law, and Ayin's daughter acts as her mother. Even if her mother-in-law doesn't come, she will still insist on letting her sister-in-law sit for the full 42 days of confinement.

"If it weren't for Yanqing's official duties, I would have stayed by Yingying's side for these 42 days."

Chu Dunru glanced at Mr.

"Back then, my deceased wife was in charge of the intermediary affairs. Even if there were relatives coming and going in the inner house, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would handle it properly, and there would be no need for the younger brother to enter the inner house."

Mr. Xue's face was full of embarrassment. I really don't know when this Chu Xizhen learned the trick of yin and yang.

But he still had to put on a smile and explain: "My mother is in poor health, so Brother Yu has to fulfill his filial piety in front of the bed from time to time."

"Haha," Chu Dunru sneered twice, "Brother Xue, I don't know when you became a miraculous doctor!"

"Brother Xizhen," Mr. Xue said with a sad face, "Can we have a calm chat? You are like this... Brother Yu really can't accept it."

Chu Dunru smiled faintly: "My little brother is just a few casual gossips. Has it already made Brother Xue so uncomfortable?"

"No," Mr.

He couldn't find the right words to describe it.

"When have you ever been so mean?" Chu Dunru put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly, "Brother Xue, when we were studying since we were young, we were taught by the Master to 'cultivate oneself, harmonize the family, govern the country and bring peace to the world'.

"I still remember that Brother Xue used to teach his son, 'How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep one house?'

"Now that I think about it, I find it quite ironic."

Mr. Xue was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, "Xizhen, don't tell me that you and I are in-laws. With so many years of friendship, if you find out that Brother Yu has made a mistake, it is reasonable for you to reprimand him face to face..."

"How dare you, how dare you," Chu Dunru smiled and waved his hand, "It's hard for an upright official to deal with household affairs, let alone me as a white person?
"If my little girl hadn't been affected, I wouldn't have been like this."

Mr. Xue was stunned again, and then thought of his wife who was still living in the Chu family. He couldn't help but frowned and sighed: "But... I can't even see anyone now... Even if I have a full stomach, I don't know how to get there." talk!"

When the reality came, Mrs. Xue sternly ordered him to take Mrs. Xue back. Liu Rumei also gently reminded him that the Chu family had no mistress, and Mrs. Xue lived in the inner house. (End of chapter)
