First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 159 Thinking Too Much

The afternoon sun was warm and made people drowsy.

Du Rongzhi nestled in the soft quilt, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

She really couldn't figure it out—how could a romantic boy who was proud of his horseshoe in his previous life and saw all the flowers in Chang'an in one day, get involved in a life lawsuit before he had time to end it in this life...

In all fairness, Du Rongzhi was not without resentment towards Zhou Zhonglin.If it wasn't for him in the previous life, her father wouldn't have had a ruined reputation and died on the road of exile with hatred. Even she herself was framed by someone because of losing the protection of the Du family...

Even when Xiangyuexuan ran into Zhou Zhonglin last time, she had secretly thought in her heart that it would be great if she could give this guy some laxatives so that he could not participate in this year's Spring Festival...

But she was just thinking about it.

She also knew in her heart that Zhou Zhonglin was also a victim of the imperial examination fraud case.From a high-spirited and promising son of heaven, he became a reviled prisoner overnight, tortured, humiliated and scolded... In the end, he was removed as a "scholar" and was despised by scholars all over the world. Days, can also be imagined.

So no matter how much Du Rongzhi resented or disliked this person in her heart, she only advised her father and brother to stay away from him, and never really did anything outrageous.

But under such circumstances, this talented and ill-fated romantic talent... unexpectedly got out of the competition early again?
For a moment, Du Rongzhi didn't know whether to find it funny or feel sorry for him.

She thought silently for a while, but seeing that she couldn't sleep, she simply got up from the bed, ordered someone to bring a half-made apron for Guan'er, and sat on the kang to embroider.

There are a few chubby little ducks embroidered on the bellyband, with yellow fur, red mouth, and round eyes, which are really childlike and cute.

Nanny An put a bird's nest on the kang table, looked at it for a while, and praised, "Young madam is doing better embroidery now."

Du Rongzhi smiled, "I did needlework with my aunt a few days ago, so it's beneficial." But rather than showing off her superb embroidery skills, Aunt Zhong is obviously more concerned about when she can marry herself, so she hasn't come for a while "Competing" with her female celebrity...

Du Rongzhi was thinking about it silently, but she heard Madam An change the subject, "Ms. Fu has been relatively safe these days, and she hangs around in front of my master from time to time... I just pretend that I don't have such a person."

Du Rongzhi hummed lightly, although she was a little displeased at Madam An's sudden mention of such an unsightly topic, she still replied casually, "I heard that Mrs. Fu was ill when I went home, and she is still recuperating now." . . . Mammy ignores her."

In fact, she heard much more than that.Yuanyuan said that she went to Song Zixun's study that night when she returned to Ning. The two seemed to have an unpleasant quarrel for some reason, and Fu ran out crying...and fell ill not long after.

But these have nothing to do with her.As long as they don't come to provoke her, they can do whatever they want.

Nanny An glanced at her, saw that Du Rongzhi didn't seem to care at all, she was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice, "Speaking of... the young lady has not embroidered for the master since she entered the door. One and a half stitches—”

Du Rongzhi's movements paused, and he raised his head with a smile that was not a smile, "Mother, this hammer here and there, what exactly do you want to say?"

Nanny An sighed helplessly, "Young Madam knows what this servant is going to say."

Du Rongzhi smiled disapprovingly, put the apron into the basket casually, and said lazily, "I don't know how many embroiderers are raised in the sewing room in the mansion. Do you want any rare looks? Mammy is worrying too much. some."

Nanny An opened her mouth, but before she could open her mouth, Du Rongzhi had already got off the kang by herself, "Yuanyuan put away the things."

Yuanyuan was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly put down the work in her hands and stepped forward, "Young Madam, you don't embroider anymore?" It was obviously almost finished...

"Yeah." Du Rongzhi rubbed her neck, "I've been bowing my head for a long time, I'm so tired, go out for a walk." Saying that, she asked someone to get the cloak.

Yuanyuan didn't doubt that he was there, obediently responded, and hurried over to clean up.

At this moment, Madam An couldn't tell that Du Rongzhi was unhappy, so she couldn't persuade her anymore, so she could only say, "Young Madam hasn't eaten since she woke up, so at least I used this bird's nest..."

Du Rongzhi glanced lightly, "Let Yuanyuan eat." After saying that, he led Qinghe out the door.

Sister An watched Du Rongzhi's slender figure disappear into the yard, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, turned around and saw Yuanyuan was carrying a bowl and spooning bird's nest into her mouth, she immediately got angry and cursed, " Little Hoof, I don’t see you so sluggish at work, but you eat faster than anyone else!”

Yuanyuan quickly swallowed the bird's nest in her mouth, and said aggrievedly, "Young Madam told me to eat it..."

Nanny An gave her a hard look, and thought for a while, "I told you earlier... to persuade the young lady more on weekdays, can you do it?"

Yuanyuan was startled, and shook his head hesitantly.Seeing that Nanny An's face darkened and she was about to scold her again, Yuan Yuan hurriedly said, "It's not that I don't want to persuade, there is really nothing to persuade...Young Madam puts Master first in everything, and Master is very considerate to Young Madam. I see that they are still the same as before... Even today, when I went to Debaoxuan to get the longevity lock for Miss Sun, the young lady even specially chose a pair of jade pendants for the master..." Yuan Yuan pursed her lips, puzzled and said , "Mommy, are you thinking too much?"

Nanny An glanced at Du Rongzhi's half-embroidered bellyband in the basket, and said angrily, "What do you know, you little hoof?"

Young Madam, this is a sigh of relief with the Lord!
..............................

Du Rongzhi wandered around the garden for a while with nothing to do, then simply went to Song Zixun's study to read.

There was still a faint fragrance of plum blossoms in the room. Du Rongzhi swept his fingers along the neat rows of densely packed books, took out a book from it, opened it and looked twice, and saw that it was an ancient book about the law. , and put it back again.

Speaking of which, she and Song Zixun's hobbies are completely different.Those ancient books that he couldn't put it down and never get tired of reading, in her opinion, were the most difficult to understand, and she couldn't arouse the slightest interest at all.

But it's not just this little bit of incompatibility between them... Du Rongzhi thought to himself mockingly, and casually took out another book, before turning it carefully, the book opened from the middle by itself.

Du Rongzhi was taken aback for a moment, and saw that there was an envelope between the opened page, she picked it up casually, only to realize that the envelope was a bit thick, and there were only four or five pages inside.

Song Zixun's official documents and business correspondence have always been handled in the study of the outer courtyard. Who would write such a thick letter to him?
Du Rongzhi couldn't help feeling a little curious, and subconsciously glanced outside the door.

Except for cleaning every day, Song Zixun's study has never allowed other people to enter and leave, and now that Qing He is still outside, he is not afraid of anything...

Du Rongzhi thought to herself, she had already pulled out the letter paper from the envelope, and gently opened it——

The words "Lizhou" and "Zhou Zhonglin" quickly attracted all of her attention.
