Chapter 222 Difficulties
At this time, the inner house was also full of laughter and laughter, and it was very lively.

The eldest lady, Shen Shi, is wearing water-red make-up gowns. Perhaps because of drinking some wine, two touches of bright red have already appeared on her cheeks, which further complement her pink cheeks and watery eyes, making her look younger than she actually is. better.She led the other two wives and greeted the female relatives from various houses who came to the banquet with a smile, and her kind attitude made everyone feel like a spring breeze.

After a round of toasting, the atmosphere in the hall became lively.

The wife of Mrs. Han, the Minister of Taipusi, who always loves to inquire about gossip, couldn't help asking Mrs. Song, "Why didn't I see the young lady in your mansion on such an important day today? I vaguely heard about it a while ago. People say that the young lady had a miscarriage, could it be true?"

When the other people heard her question, they all fell silent, and looked at the eldest lady with some curiosity.

"Where did you hear that? There is no such thing." Shen looked around calmly, and smiled without changing her face, "It's not like you don't know—my eldest daughter-in-law was born last year. After having a child, her body is always uncomfortable, and she has been busy with her brother's marriage for the past few months and has been a little tired, and she has been feeling a little unwell in the past few days... I didn't ask her to come out today."

Mrs. An saw that Mrs. An's complexion was as usual, and she responded freely, and she also suspected that the rumors were wrong, so she smiled, "Maybe I got it wrong, I don't know." Thoughtful, she covered her handkerchief and smiled, "Mrs. Du is married to a good in-law. The mother-in-law who loves her daughter-in-law so much, it's really hard to find a second family with a lantern."

Mrs. Du raised her head when she heard the words, looked at Mrs. Shen, nodded, and said, "Mrs. Han is talking about... my A Zhi is young and ignorant, thanks to the patient teaching of my wife..." She paused for a while, looked Seeing Shen's half-smile, "I haven't even had time to thank my in-laws properly!"

The eldest lady knew what she was referring to, and she only smiled gently on her face, "Sister, this is too serious..."

But Mrs. Du stood up, took the wine cup filled by the girl, and handed it to the eldest lady, "This cup is for my in-laws... Ah Zhi's child was spoiled by me and his father, and he has never understood the ways of the world. If you don't do it right, please forgive me." Mrs. Du had a smile on her face, but the smile didn't reach her eyes at all.

The eldest lady smiled, and reached out to take it, "Rong Zhi Bingxue is smart and filial to the elders, I like her very much, and since she entered the Duke's mansion, she has taken care of me a lot..." If you don't forgive, it seems that we are divided."

Madam Du smiled, and said meaningfully, "If that's the case, I can rest assured." After saying that, she made a gesture of invitation, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

The lady's eyes darkened, and she also drank it with a smile.

Everyone saw that there was no more excitement here, so they drank and chatted without mentioning it.

Only Mrs. Du and Mrs. Du's eyes met, and a thousand words were spoken in silence.

After a while, a girl came over and asked the eldest lady to go to the next table to toast, and the eldest lady gave Madam Du a faint smile, "Sister, please wait, I will excuse you first."

Mrs. Du nodded with a smile, and said politely, "My wife, please help yourself."

When Mrs. Du left, the smile on Mrs. Du's face did not change, and she chatted with the female relatives at the same table, and then found a leader to lead them out of the hall.

"Young madam can't sleep at night, even when she falls asleep, she often wakes up crying. The imperial doctor changed a new prescription, so I can sleep well at night, but people are also drowsy during the day, and they are always prone to sleepiness. " Nanny An carefully tucked the quilt for Du Rongzhi, put down the curtain and personally helped Madam Du out of the room.

Mrs. Du sighed, "It's good to be able to fall asleep, but I'm still too thin to look at...need to take care of it." She then instructed, "I sent someone to send you some of the tonics and medicinal materials, and you can make more for her too. Eat—even if she can't eat, force her to eat."

Nanny An hurriedly answered yes.

"How are she and uncle doing now?" Mrs. Du asked in a low voice after taking a sip of tea, "But you're still arguing about reconciliation all day long?"

Mother An hesitated for a while, and then said hesitantly, "It was a few days ago..." When she wanted to tell the story of Du Rongzhi's hunger strike, being threatened by Song Zixun's Na Guan'er, and vomiting blood in anger, she was afraid that she would let her go. Madam Du was sad, so she only ambiguously said, "But I was stopped by the young master, and then the third lady came to persuade me... Although the two of them don't talk much now, at least they don't mention it anymore..."

Madam Du recited Amitabha, and said with red eyes, "The way I looked at her that day, it was as if my heart was dead... These days, when I think about it at home, my heart feels as if I was being cut with a knife... ..." He couldn't help sobbing.

Nanny An felt uncomfortable too, she forced a smile and comforted her, "Don't be so madam, the young lady is the most filial, if I know you are like this, I will be even more sad..."

Mrs. Du wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "I also know that she is determined to leave my uncle this time... But this matter is not easy to leave? Even if I can spare this face, she Father, her brother, what about her younger brother? We can't let the men go outside—" Mrs. Du's voice trembled, she just shook her head with tears in her eyes.

Nanny An sighed, "Madam, don't worry, the Young Madam knows all about your difficulties..."

Madam Du sighed helplessly, "In this case, she can only look away..."

These words reminded Nanny An, she looked at Nanny Yang standing behind Madam Du, stepped forward and said, "Speaking of which, Madam Young also ordered the servants to do things a while ago..." So and so, in Du The lady whispered in her ear for a while.

After hearing this, Mrs. Du nodded, "That's fine too...that bitch surnamed Fu likes to make trouble, no matter whether she intends to or not this time, my good grandson will be killed by her in the end, and she should be taught a lesson." She thought for a while, and then told Nanny Yang, "You can also help me look at it later, and teach her all the prescriptions that Nanny An didn't remember."

Nanny Yang quickly responded.

"In the past, I was only blamed for protecting Sister Zhi'er so well that she developed such an indecisive temperament, so she suffered from Fu's losses repeatedly." Madam Du sneered, and a cold light flashed quickly in her eyes, "Now she Now that you have figured it out, then you don’t have to show mercy, this time, you must avoid future troubles forever, so that that bastard named Fu will never recover.”

Mother An's heart trembled, and she quickly responded, "Yes, slaves and maidservants are spared."

Mrs. Du nodded, "But that bitch is very cunning, you must be careful—"
