First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 167 Picking up the tall branch of the young master

But after Du Rongzhi left, Zhong Yutang cried and quarreled with the third wife again, but the third wife was also extremely disappointed in this younger sister who loved her since childhood, so she hardened her heart and told her to pack her luggage quickly In a few days, she was escorted out of Beijing, and a few maids were asked to guard her, so she refused to see her again.

Zhong Yutang yelled that every day should not be answered, and that the ground was not working. She sat and cried all night, and only fell asleep in a daze at dawn.

When she woke up again, it was already afternoon.

Zhong Yutang stared blankly at the bed curtain for a long time before he realized that there seemed to be some noise in the room.

She opened the curtain, and sure enough, she saw an unfamiliar woman sitting outside, who was leaning on the kang and crackling melon seeds, while Lingjiao stood obediently by the side, with a look of daring to speak out. .

Seeing that she woke up, the old woman didn't feel afraid, she spat out the melon seeds in her mouth on the ground, and said in a thin voice, "Oh, my good aunt, you are awake! The servants have been waiting here for a long time It's gone." As she spoke, she rubbed her hands on her trousers, stood up from the kang, and said with a grin, "This servant is here to help you clean up and salute. Since you are awake, let's hurry up Auntie will be leaving tomorrow and the next day!"

Zhong Yutang was already full of resentment and had nowhere to vent her anger. When she heard the woman's words, she was so angry that her eyes turned red. She rubbed her chest and cried, "Where did you come from, my house is worthy of you! You really deserve it! Think I’m dead!” He couldn’t catch his breath, his face flushed from holding back.

Seeing this, Lingjiao hurriedly ran over crying, beating his back and comforting her, and it took Zhong Yutang a long time to get over her breath, lying on the pillow and coughing.

But it is said that the mother-in-law who eats melon seeds, whose husband's family name is Zheng, is not stingy. Because she eats too much and is lazy all day long, she only does some chores in the third room, and she can't serve her master.I don't want the third lady to order Mother Lou to lead someone over to help her younger sister tidy up and salute today. Then Mother Lou also saw that Zhong Yutang was a double-faced person, and she was afraid that it would be ugly when the time came. , just asked someone to call this sharp-mouthed, cheeky and thick-skinned Mrs. Zheng, told her a few words, and promised some benefits, and this woman really came here.

At this time, seeing Zhong Yutang coughing and flushing, Mrs. Zheng was also a little scared. She quickly put away her contempt, walked forward embarrassingly, and said with a smile on her old wrinkled face, "Auntie is young. It's too hot..."

Zhong Yutang gasped for a while, pointed at Mrs. Zheng and cursed, "You...you get out!" Then he coughed loudly twice.

Mrs. Zheng curled her lips, "The servant girl was sent by the third lady. Even if she wants to leave, she has to pack up her things for auntie, so I dare not just go out like this."

Seeing her rascal look like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, Zhong Yutang became more and more sad from it, and couldn't help crying in Lingjiao's arms.

Lingjiao also wiped away tears, and said to Mrs. Zheng, "We will clean things up by ourselves... I advise my aunt to go out first! Otherwise, my girl will be really angry, and see how my aunt will explain to my aunt!"

Mrs. Zheng rolled her eyes. Seeing Zhong Yutang crying out of breath, she was afraid that she would really be mad at her. I don’t know how many nobles there are... Even the serious lady in the mansion has never seen someone so coquettish with my aunt... The old lady is really knowledgeable..." While muttering, he hid outside the door and went straight to find a place to drink Tea and fruit went.

Zhong Yutang cried on Lingjiao for a while, and the tears gradually stopped.

Ling Jiao stretched out her hand to pull her hair, and persuaded with sobs, "Girl, don't be sad...it's not worth it..." Hearing that Zhong Yutang was crying until her voice became hoarse, she got up to pour water for her.

But someone behind him said, "Miss Lingjiao, please sit down, let's wait for such trivial matters." The woman walked forward quickly while talking, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea.

Ling Jiao froze for a moment, and was about to stop her, but the latter dodged calmly, and brought the tea to Zhong Yutang attentively.

Zhong Yutang watched coldly, and saw that the woman was about forty years old, wearing a crow-blue gown, her black hair combed meticulously, she looked very neat.

Zhong Yutang frowned, and was about to speak, but heard the woman whisper, "What's wrong with Auntie? It's only been a short day, and she's all haggard." She couldn't help but spit, He said bitterly, "Those girls and women are all inferior to others! Not to mention that my aunt has always been generous to our servants since she came to the Duke's Mansion, even if we met on weekdays, she was not gentle and gentle , be polite...don't take the master's money at all. They are good! When you have nothing to do, you will be around your aunt and aunt, and now they run faster than anyone else!" She couldn't help but sighed, "Poor Auntie was wronged, even a rascal would dare to bully you...Auntie is too difficult!"

Zhong Yutang originally looked down on her when she saw that she was dressed in shabby clothes, but he didn't expect that the woman's words were spoken in her heart, just like her heart. Pazi wept silently.

Seeing her like this, the old woman showed a look of unbearable expression, and after a long time she sighed, "Speaking of which, it's because my aunt has bad luck... She's also a relative of the family, look at Aunt Fu in our young master's room... ...that appearance and talent, I don't know how much worse than my aunt, but just because I picked up the tall branch of our young master, now the family wears gold and silver all day long, pearls, emeralds, jade, agate... so many good things are sent to her house all at once. , She is much more respectable than the first wife of an ordinary family. Who would have thought of my aunt..." She paused slightly, and shook her head helplessly, "The third lady is too unkind—"

Lingjiao was trembling when she was listening to the old woman's speech, and checked the doors and windows, lest others would listen to her, but now seeing that the third wife was incidentally mentioned in her words, her expression changed in fright, and she quickly stopped talking, "You mother-in-law don't know the rules, you can talk about my aunt's affairs!"

"Oh, look at my broken mouth!" The woman slapped her face pretendingly, and said to Lingjiao with a smile, "It's all my fault that I love my aunt too much, and I overstepped it for a while... Girl Lingjiao, don't blame her, don't blame her." ah."

Ling Jiao wanted to say more, but Zhong Yutang interrupted with a wave.

Ling Jiao pursed her lips, and had no choice but to retreat to the side.

Zhong Yutang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, choked up and said, "Go ahead... my sister... what happened to her..."
