First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 440
"Thank you Mrs. Song!"

"Thank you Mrs. Song!"

"Mrs. Song, we miss you!"

While eating Zheng Ji's snacks, the little dolls of the girls' school surrounded Du Rongzhi chattering happily.

"I miss you very much too," Du Rongzhi smiled sweetly, "Are you being good lately? Have you been studying with Master Chu?"

"Yes!" the youngest Yaya said in a milky voice, "Mrs. Song, Yaya has learned a lot of poems. I'll recite them to you!"

Seeing this, several other older girls rushed to tell Du Rongzhi all the new skills they had learned recently.

Du Rongzhi listened patiently, and praised them with a smile from time to time... When Chu Shenyao came back from "Class C", he saw such a happy scene.

The woman was wearing a goose-yellow spring shirt, holding a four or five-year-old girl in her arms.There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and her gentle and delicate face was warm and quiet like a spring breeze. A few older children were sitting around her, leaning forward and talking enthusiastically, their expressions full of nostalgia and dependence. .

Chu Shenyao suddenly couldn't bear to interrupt, he walked back to his desk calmly, picked up a pen and began to draw silently...

It wasn't until someone in the classroom suddenly yelled, "Master is back!" Only then did everyone realize that there was someone more in the room at some point.

The little girls immediately dispersed, ran back to their seats and sat down.Because Yaya is the shortest, and the seat is the most front, she ran to the small table wheezing, and did not forget to turn her head and smile at Du Rongzhi.

Du Rongzhi also stood up with a smile, and nodded to Chu Shenyao, "Young Master Chu."

The latter put away the unfinished painting calmly, and said with a smile, "Why is Mrs. Sister-in-law free to come over today?"

"I happened to pass by and brought some snacks for the children..." She said this, but there was a moment of hesitation in her expression, "But did I interrupt your class?"

"No." Chu Shenyao smiled, "There is still a moment." He reminded the children with a serious face, "Don't bother eating snacks, did you remember everything from the class just now? Later If you can't answer the question, I will give you a palm!"

There was a burst of wailing at the bottom, followed by the sound of flipping a book.

Yaya pouted her little mouth, "Master is so fierce..." After finishing speaking, she quickly lowered her head and read the book.

Du Rongzhi saw that the classroom that was still lively just now quickly quieted down, and couldn't help covering her lips, "Young Master Chu is so strict."

Seeing her smiling eyebrows and eyes crooked, Chu Shenyao couldn't help explaining with a smile, "No rules and no rules... Although they don't need to take the imperial examinations, they still have to have the reverence they should have for books."

Du Rongzhi nodded, and said softly, "Young master Chu said..." She paused, then said hesitantly, "If you don't have class now, young master..."

Chu Shenyao saw that she had been preoccupied and hesitant to speak since just now, so he thoughtfully suggested, "Mrs. Sister-in-law came just in time—I have nothing to do recently, so I drew the stories in the Three Character Classic and bound them into a booklet. It's quite interesting for the children to talk about it. Madam sister-in-law, would you like to take a copy back and show it to Sister Guan?"

Du Rongzhi was startled, and nodded obediently, "That's a good thing..."

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

The cherry blossoms in the garden are all in bloom, colorful and beautiful.

The two walked under the tree.

Du Rongzhi said softly, "Actually, I came today because I have an unfeeling invitation... I hope Mr. Chu will not think that I am presumptuous."

Chu Shenyao looked at her and smiled heartily, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to see outsiders. If you have something to say, it's okay to say it."

"The thing is like this..." Du Rongzhi pursed her lips, and said in deliberation, "Because I was afraid that Mr. Guo would be entangled, I asked the young master to take care of my aunt and daughter for me... I didn't want to bring trouble to the young master because of this. Many troubles, I have always been very sorry..."

Chu Shenyao waved his hands indifferently, "What's the point of worrying about such a trivial matter? What's more, Guo Laosan has been imprisoned by Brother Song for extorting trouble, and now he won't come out to talk nonsense and turn black and white. My wife can rest assured."

Du Rongzhi nodded, "I've also heard about Guo Laosan's imprisonment...but it was caused by me after all, and I can't always trouble the young master to deal with the aftermath for me, so..." She paused, "Today, I actually want to repay the 200 taels of silver owed to the young master for the embroidered girls, and then find another place for them to live."

Chu Shenyao was startled, and asked in surprise, "Madam sister-in-law wants to take their mother and daughter back?"

Du Rongzhi lowered her eyes and said, "That's what I mean."

Chu Shenyao said sternly, "As Madam Sister-in-law said, this matter is due to Madam Sister-in-law's help when she sees injustice, so Auntie Xiu and her daughter can have a comfortable life today. If Madam Sister-in-law wants to go back and resettle herself, there is nothing wrong with him." The subject changed, "Chu, can I just ask one more question, why did my sister-in-law change her mind suddenly?"

Du Rongzhi was silent for a while, and then said softly, "To be honest, young master, recently... I have heard some gossip, which twisted your good deeds maliciously. If it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation..."

Chu Shenyao laughed disapprovingly, "What am I supposed to be for..." He smiled slightly, and said seriously, "Actually, when you and I helped each other that day, we already expected that there would be troublesome people in the future. We just need to have a clear conscience. Why should you care about the rumors and gossip?"

Du Rongzhi's heart was filled with bitterness, and he sighed after a long while, "If it was only targeting me, I could comfort myself like this, but now not only my son's reputation has been damaged, but our master's reputation..." She shook Shaking his head, "After all, my words and deeds are inappropriate..."

Chu Shenyao's eyes darkened, and he said after a while, "Mrs. sister-in-law regretted saving Aunt Xiu and her daughter that day?"

Du Rongzhi didn't notice the difference in his expression, but shook his head lightly, "No, I don't regret it. Mr. Guo is a gambler, selfish and cruel, and Aunt Xiu and her daughter will not have a good life if they follow him. It's just that I handled this matter too recklessly, didn't consider our master's situation, and let the young master, an outsider, get involved in it..."

Chu Shenyao's expression softened slightly, and he asked softly, "Does Madam Sister-in-law think there was a better solution at that time?"

Du Rongzhi was startled, and hesitated, "If I give Guo Laosan a sum of money in private..."

"If my sister-in-law is like this, there will be endless troubles." Chu Shenyao looked at her and said seriously, "Actually, you did a great job that day, even men may not have your courage and responsibility. I don't know what you heard What kind of gossip, but you need to know that you have not done anything wrong, and I never feel that I am burdened by you..." He paused, "If Fengju really knows you, he will only do it because of this matter. I respect you more, instead of complaining and blaming you after listening to a few gossips from good people."
