First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 166 It's Her Life
A trace of panic flashed in Zhong Yutang's eyes, and he asked in a low voice, "Speak clearly... what kind of gossip?"

Du Rongzhi brushed her hair, "I heard that my aunt originally mentioned a family named He in her hometown. Because the man suddenly became seriously ill, and the Zhong family failed to get divorced, so I rushed to send my aunt—"

"Shut up!" Zhong Yutang's eyes turned red anxiously, "You...you are talking nonsense, spouting blood!"

Du Rongzhi smiled lightly, and didn't bother to argue with her, so she turned around and was about to go out.

Zhong Yutang rushed up from behind and grabbed her hand tightly, "What are you doing?"

Du Rongzhi was in pain from being caught by her, and her face immediately sank, "Let go!"

Zhong Yutang made the cold light in her eyes tremble with fright, and she couldn't help letting go of her hand. After she realized it, she hurriedly stopped her, and said anxiously, "These are all your hearsay...it's not true at all! It's not true! You can't talk to me My sister said!"

"Whether it's true or not, you can't just listen to what my aunt says." Du Rongzhi sneered, "Fortunately, Qizhou is not too far away, as long as Third Uncle sends someone to go there, we will know right from wrong."

Zhong Yutang swayed and sat slumped on the ground.

She regained her senses and grabbed Du Rongzhi's skirt, "You can't say it! Don't you just want me to go? Okay, I'll go! As long as you don't say anything, I will promise you anything!"

Du Rongzhi leaned over to look at her, a smile suddenly appeared on her pretty lips, "Have you ever heard a saying, Auntie?" She said slowly, "You are mistaken by your cleverness."

Zhong Yutang stared at her blankly, her palm-sized face was covered with tears, she looked very pitiful.

"The grandmother of the Zhong family loves her daughter very much, and it's human nature to be reluctant to let my aunt watch over the family," Du Rongzhi said, "Our master heard about it by accident, and although he thought it was wrong, he didn't expose it. For the sake of my third aunt, I have been asking someone to take care of the Zhong family."

Zhong Yutang's eyes had just revealed hope, but Du Rongzhi continued, "But Auntie absolutely shouldn't, she shouldn't have counted on our grandfather again and again."

She shook her head pityingly, "Auntie, has it ever occurred to you that these unsightly tricks of yours will not only fail to force him to submit, but will only make him more disgusted?"

Thinking of that handsome and cold face this afternoon... Zhong Yutang could only feel the thunder, his lips trembled so much that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

If she had known...if she had known...she would never dare to provoke Song Zixun!

Du Rongzhi looked at Zhong Yutang's devastated appearance, and couldn't tell whether it was joy or pity in his heart for a moment, so he brushed her hand away coldly, and was about to walk out the door.

"Stop!" Zhong Yutang yelled behind her, "Do you believe that if you step out of this door, I will die right here?!"

"Then aunt had better move quickly." Du Rongzhi said coolly, "I heard that the family surnamed He is already on their way to Beijing, and they can collect the body for aunt at that time."

A desperate scream came from behind...

Du Rongzhi walked out without looking back.

....................................

When Du Rongzhi walked out of the inner room, she saw Qinghe waiting outside. Seeing her coming out, the latter rushed forward and said, "Master Cai just came to pick you up... now I'm talking to the third lady in the hall."

Du Rongzhi gave a soft "hmm".

Qing He followed her out, and asked softly, "How many people do you think should be called over to watch? What if Aunt Zhong really wants to die..."

"She won't." Du Rongzhi said.

Qinghe raised her head.

"If she wants to die, there are so many sharp weapons in the room just now, why hang herself..." Du Rongzhi said lightly, "I also saw the strangle mark, but it's just pretending to scare people."

Qing He was startled, and looked at Du Rongzhi in surprise, "When I went in just now, the servants also saw it, the red mark on Auntie's neck is very frightening... How did Young Madam know it was a bluff?"

Du Rongzhi's face froze, and she cleared her throat uncomfortably, "You don't understand... Aunt Zhong, she is very sorry for her life."

Qing He thought for a while, then nodded with a vague understanding.

Even so, Du Rongzhi still called a few maids in to look at Zhong Yutang, and then led Qing He into the hall.

The third lady in the front hall sat solemnly on the main seat, and Song Zixun was below her. Although the two did not talk, the atmosphere was very heavy.

Du Rongzhi stepped forward and bowed to the third lady, and the latter just woke up like a dream, and forced herself to say, "Have you talked to your aunt?"

"Yes." Du Rongzhi said softly, "Auntie...she already knew she was wrong."

"Know it?" The third lady hooked her lips mockingly, "If she really knows that she is wrong—" The third lady's voice faltered, and she waved her hands weakly, "Forget it, you all worked hard today... Go back and rest earlier Bar."

Du Rongzhi couldn't bear it, she stepped forward and said, "Third Aunt——"

Song Zixun stopped Du Rongzhi behind him calmly, and bowed his hands to the third lady respectfully, "The nephew and Mrs. Du will go back first."

The third lady nodded wearily, "Go."

....................................

"Master just now... have you told Third Aunt?" Du Rongzhi asked Song Zixun after coming out of Tanxinju.

Song Zixun nodded slightly, "Third Aunt has decided to send Aunt Zhong back in the next few days."

Du Rongzhi thought for a while, "The matter of the He family——"

"Third Aunt will go back to discuss with Third Uncle, and then send someone to help the Zhong family make peace there," Song Zixun explained patiently, "If the other party agrees to withdraw the marriage, everyone will be happy, if not - it is also her fate. "

If the Duke's Mansion is willing to stand up for the Zhong family and give them more money at that time, this marriage may not be unrefundable...I'm afraid——

Du Rongzhi looked up at Song Zixun's cold side face, and asked in a low voice, "Then... will their family agree to divorce?"

Song Zixun noticed Du Rongzhi's gaze, turned his head and looked back at her, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, "Who knows?"

The man's dark eyes were bottomless, Du Rongzhi looked at his own projection inside, and for some reason, suddenly shivered.

Song Zixun frowned, and asked displeased, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing..." Du Rongzhi hurriedly lowered her eyes, and pulled the cloak on her body, "It's windy, it's a bit cold."

Only then did Song Zixun's expression soften, he stretched out his long arms, lifted the cloak directly, and embraced her in his arms.

Du Rongzhi was taken aback, and when he realized it, he had locked him firmly.

Du Rongzhi instinctively wanted to break free, but Song Zixun said angrily, "It's frozen like this, don't you know what to say?" His arms around her tightened even tighter.

The whole body was quickly enveloped in warmth... Du Rongzhi also gradually calmed down.

How cruel this man is, she has experienced it in her previous life... What is there to be afraid of?
Du Rongzhi hooked her lips in a self-deprecating way, and gently covered the man's big palm around her waist with her cool little hands.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Song Zixun gave a cold hum, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly unconsciously...
