First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 237

"My aunt, you are back!"

Qing He had just told the little girl not to tell Du Rongzhi the rumors outside, but as soon as she entered the room, she was grabbed by Hong Shao and Lv Wei like saviors.

Qing He was startled, and quickly looked at Du Rongzhi.

She was sitting quietly on the couch with her back to them, not knowing what she was thinking.

...it doesn't look like a seizure.

Hong Shao lowered her voice and said, "Young Madam just came up with a whim and wanted to find the dress made for Miss Sun..." She paused, "It's not like you don't know that the clothes were strangled by Young Madam a long time ago. Where can I find..."

Qing He hurriedly said, "Then what did you say?"

Luwei said helplessly, "How dare we say anything... Of course, we pretended to search for a long time, and finally just said that we couldn't find it. But the young lady refused to believe it, and searched for a long time..." She said to the couch She pursed her lips, "Then people will be like this."

Qing He was silent, and before he said anything, he heard Du Rongzhi ask, "Did Qing He come back?"

"Yes." Qing He hurriedly responded, and in a low voice let Lv Wei and Hong Shao go to eat first, and then walked in with a smile, "Didn't the young madam say that she wanted to eat sweet-scented osmanthus sugar dew two days ago? The servant just went to pick it up." some--"

"That's not urgent." Du Rongzhi interrupted, "Qinghe, I can't find the clothes I made for Guan'er..." There was a trace of confusion in her eyes, "I clearly kept it there, but I can't find it...do you know where I put it?"

Qinghe felt uncomfortable for a while, and deliberately smiled, "Did you forget? Last time you compared the clothes with your sister, and found that they were a little too small... so you asked Mother An to take them home and wear them for her granddaughter." "The eldest daughter of An Yanzeng's family just gave birth to a daughter last month...

Du Rongzhi frowned lightly, and hesitated, "Is there such a thing... Then why did I ask Luwei and the others just now, and they didn't know..."

Qing He paused and said with a smile, "When the young lady gave the clothes to the nanny that day, the two of them were not there, so they didn't know..."

Du Rongzhi let out a soft "Oh" and smiled blankly, "I don't even remember at all..."

Her memory seems to have become very poor recently, and sometimes she can't remember what she just finished doing... She doesn't know what's wrong with herself.

Seeing her dazed face and a little absent-minded, Qing He was about to speak to divert her attention, when suddenly a girl came in outside, and said crisply, "Young Madam, Madam Du is here."

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

"Why is mother free to come over today?" Du Rongzhi personally served hot tea to Mrs. Du before sitting down on the twig next to her, and asked softly.

Madam Du lifted the tea cover, flicked the floating leaves in the tea bowl, but looked at Du Rongzhi.

She was wearing a rouge-colored dress today, but the delicate color made her small face paler, and the dress dangled on her slender body.

Seeing that her daughter's expression has been calm since she entered the house, she is not very happy. Madam Du also knows that Du Rongzhi is still upset about her not allowing her to reconcile with Song Zixun last time, so she eats it calmly. Sipping tea, he said with a smile, "I said that when you feel better, I will pick you up to stay at your house for two days, and the house was cleaned up for you early in the morning...why don't you go back?"

Du Rong stared at the peony flower pattern on the skirt, and smiled, "I'm recuperating everywhere, I don't want to cause trouble to my parents."

Mrs. Du's smile faltered, she looked at her with a complicated expression for a while, and then sighed softly, "Azhi, are you still blaming your mother for what happened that day?"

Du Rongzhi's hands in her sleeves clenched unconsciously, and then slowly loosened... She raised her head and smiled cutely at Mrs. Du, "No daughter... Mother is overwhelmed."

Mrs. Du looked at her smile that didn't reach her eyes at all, and couldn't help but feel sore, and after a while, she choked up and said, "You were born by my mother in October... Do you think I feel uncomfortable seeing you and my uncle making trouble like this?" gone?"

Du Rongzhi's eyes were slightly hot, she lowered her eyes, and shook her head numbly, "My daughter doesn't think that way..."

Mrs. Du sighed, took her hand, and said earnestly, "I know you have resentment towards my uncle in your heart, and you even dislike the entire Duke's Mansion. But Ah Zhi, no matter what, this day must Go on... Even if you don't plan for yourself, at least think for Guan'er..." She paused, "In everything, you have to leave some leeway for yourself and my uncle..."

Du Rongzhi raised her head and looked at her mother's hesitant expression, and said softly, "Mother, what do you... want to say to your daughter?"

The faces of the servants in the room changed when they heard the words, Qing He hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Ma'am, this tea is probably a little cold, I will give you another cup." The lady winked.

It's a pity that Mrs. Du's full attention is now on Du Rongzhi, and she didn't even look at her reminder, so she heard her ask in deliberation, "A while ago, but your mother-in-law's cousin came to the mansion?"

Du Rongzhi was stunned, and it took a long time before she remembered who Mrs. Du was talking about.Seeing that the light in her eyes that had been so easily ignited also dimmed, she said indifferently, "Okay, why did mother suddenly mention this person?"

Seeing Du Rongzhi like this, Mrs. Du already believed the rumors outside her heart, she couldn't help but sighed, and said helplessly, "That Mrs. Luo is a gossip, you are in your own room, and It’s fine for my uncle to use his temper, why bother to provoke her... Now she is spreading rumors about you outside, saying that you—”

"So, mother came here today not to visit her daughter, but because of these rumors?" Before Madam Du could finish speaking, Du Rongzhi suddenly interrupted, her tone extremely cold.

This kind of Du Rongzhi always felt that Madam Du was a little weird, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, so she immediately lowered her face in displeasure, and taught, "A Zhi, mother told you these things for your own good."

"Of course you're doing it for my own good." Du Rongzhi had a smile that couldn't be more cold, "And I'm afraid it's not just for me, is it?" She asked mockingly, "Mother is worried about her daughter's reputation. The mess, will it implicate the good marriage of the sisters in the family in the future?"

Mrs. Du had never heard Du Rongzhi speak so harshly before, she couldn't help being taken aback when she heard the words, and immediately called softly, "Ah Zhi!"

But Du Rongzhi turned a deaf ear and said to herself, "Or is it that mother is more worried that father will be impeached by the judge, saying that he has no way to teach daughters? Or is it that my brothers will be looked down upon because of a sister like me? "
