Chapter 41

Mrs. Ma's husband is a side branch of the Du family. Her situation is very similar to that of Mrs. Rong Guo when she was young. Her husband died in battle at a young age, leaving no children.

Mrs. Ma's natal family originally asked her to remarry, but Mrs. Ma was deeply in love with her husband and refused to remarry even though she invited herself to the family temple to pray for blessings. She stayed in the family temple for five years.

Later, Mrs. Rongguo was short of available people and heard about Mrs. Ma, so she took Mrs. Ma to her side to help.

After working together, Mrs. Rongguo discovered that Mrs. Ma was a good hand in housekeeping, so she kept Mrs. Ma by her side.

Over the years, Mrs. Ma has not made any mistakes in managing the Duke's Mansion.

Now in the Rongguo mansion, in the backyard, besides Mrs. Rongguo, Mrs. Ma is the biggest.

Mrs. Ma was alone and had no children. Mrs. Rong Guo sympathized with her and she had the same experience as herself, so she asked Mrs. Ma to adopt children so that she could rely on her when she was old.

So Mrs. Ma recognized a pair of orphan brothers and sisters in the Du family as adopted sons and daughters, named Du Xi and Du Yue respectively, and Mrs. Ma treated Du Qinglin as her own son.

In order to be grateful to Mrs. Ma, Du Qinglin brought Du Xi by his side to train him. Du Xi is now Du Qinglin's capable lieutenant.

Although he didn't know what tricks Mrs. Ma used later, Qin Shuhuang was already on guard against Mrs. Ma.

Qin Shuhuang accompanied Mrs. Rongguo to sit down in the other courtyard, concealed her hostility towards Madam Ma, and said relaxedly: "Auntie, why are you being polite to me? There is an extra layer of protection, and there are so many distinguished guests today, it's better not to go wrong."

When Qin Shuhuang said this, Mrs. Rongguo also felt that it made sense, "In the afternoon, Huang'er will take care of the distinguished guests for me, so I will be lazy and rest for a while, and let Nanny Sun stay with you in the afternoon."

"Don't worry, Auntie."

Although the aunt and nephew hadn't seen each other for several years, they were not unfamiliar with each other because of their blood relationship. After they said a lot of things, Mrs. Rong Guo said: "Huang'er, you also know the purpose of my banquet today. It's too young, Qin Wei can't evade this year's general election. At the latest, the general election will start this winter. We must help Min'er open his eyes first, otherwise Min'er will be more constrained if the latter position is controlled by Qin Wei. "

Qin Shuhuang didn't know.

Mrs. Rong Guo continued: "Huang'er, I have taken a fancy to two girls. When you help me entertain the distinguished guests in the afternoon, when you get in touch with these two girls, first help Min'er palm eyes."

The two girls Mrs. Rong Guo fancyed, one was the eldest daughter of the Jijiu family of the former Guozijian.

This girl's surname is Xue and her given name is Ruzhen.

Although the former Imperial College minister's official position was not high, the Xue family had a clean and upright family tradition for generations, and Xue Ruzhen's grandmother was a well-known talented woman in Beijing, so the granddaughter she taught would not be bad in character.

A few years ago, Guozijian Jijiu passed away due to illness, and the young master of the Xue family lost his sight in an accident. The mistress of the Xue family was hit and couldn't afford to fall ill, so the entire Xue family was managed by Xue Ruzhen under the guidance of her grandmother.

A few years later, the Xue family not only did not decline, but flourished day by day. Xue Ruzhen supported the family and cultivated the younger brother. Now, the younger brother who is three years younger than her has already passed the examination as a scholar. In two years, if he takes part in the provincial examination, he will be able to become an official. , became the mainstay of the Xue family.

If such a tough girl can become Qin Shumin's good match, Qin Shumin's harem will have no worries.

The other girl is Xu Siyuan, the granddaughter of Xu Kui, the border guard general.

The Xu family has been loyal and good for generations, and Xu Kui's son has an old relationship with Mrs. Rong Guo's deceased husband. The two families are considered family friends.

Although Xu Siyuan was born in the frontier, she grew up in the capital. She is the legitimate daughter of the eldest family member of the Xu family, and she was raised by Mrs. Rong Guo.

Xu Siyuan is not as responsible as Xue Ruzhen, but he is also talented and has a charming personality. He grew up in the favor of the Xu family. Moreover, Xu Siyuan has some skills and is in good health. It is beneficial for the Xu family's women to have twins.

Although Xue Ruzhen's family background is not obvious, he has a firm and resolute personality. Xu Siyuan has a good family background and a pure and intelligent personality.

It has to be said that Mrs. Rong Guo put a lot of effort into choosing.

Even Qin Shuhuang thinks that these two girls are very suitable, and who they will be depends on the emperor's brother's thoughts.

But it is such two good girls, but in their previous lives, they were all folded in today's Rongguo Gongfu's other courtyard.

The Xue family and the Xu family became enemies with Mrs. Rong Guo in an instant, and the Xu family was forced to rebel against the Wu Dynasty and the enemy country!

Qin Shuhuang wanted to see who was behind the scenes in the annex of Rongguo Gongfu today, and who was behind this poisonous plan that killed three birds with one stone!

"Okay, don't worry, auntie, I will keep my eyes open and help the emperor choose a good wife."

Hearing what Qin Shuhuang said, Mrs. Rong Guo immediately felt distressed and sour.

It's not that she didn't know what kind of life Qin Shuhuang lived in Gu's house before, but Qin Shuhuang didn't associate with her, so she couldn't control it if she wanted to.

In the past few days, after learning that Qin Shuhuang had suddenly moved to the eldest princess's mansion, Mrs. Rong Guo immediately asked someone to send an invitation to Qin Shuhuang.

Because of implicating the Gu family, Mrs. Rong Guo did not post the chrysanthemum feast to the Gu family.

Now seeing that Qin Shuhuang was busy because of Qin Shumin, but her life was not going smoothly, Mrs. Rongguo felt even more sorry for her.

Mrs. Rongguo suddenly grabbed Qin Shuhuang's hand and squeezed it hard, "Huang'er, you are the most noble empress of the Great Wu Dynasty. You can live according to your own wishes. No matter what decision you make, remember your aunt Always on your side.”

Hearing these words, Qin Shuhuang suddenly felt sore eyes, as if the queen mother was still alive.

She hugged Mrs. Rongguo gently, "My niece knows that she will never let down her aunt."

To live a new life, if she still can't live according to her own wishes, then how can she be worthy of herself and the people she cares about!
Mrs. Rong Guo stretched out her hand to caress Qin Shuhuang's soft temple hair.

The atmosphere in the small courtyard was warm, and a neatly dressed middle-aged woman came in to ask for a meeting.

The woman saluted Mrs. Rong Guo and Qin Shuhuang respectfully, her whole body exuding a sense of refreshment.

Mrs. Rong Guo smiled and introduced to Qin Shuhuang, "Huang'er, this is Mrs. Ma."

Qin Shuhuang nodded slightly towards Mrs. Ma, without extra enthusiasm.

Mrs. Ma saw that Qin Shuhuang was a little alienated, but she didn't take it to heart. She had never seen Qin Shuhuang before, and thought that Qin Shuhuang was so arrogant and indifferent by nature.

On the contrary, Mrs. Rong Guo was a little surprised, but she loves Qin Shuhuang, and everyone has different perceptions of people, which doesn't mean that Qin Shuhuang must like the person she likes.

Seeing that Qin Shuhuang was not very interested in Mrs. Ma, he asked Mrs. Ma to come for a meeting and then let her go.

During the luncheon, Mrs. Rong Guo only showed her face because of her body.

The remaining Mrs. Rongguo actually asked Mrs. Ma to accompany these ladies, and these ladies were very polite after seeing Mrs. Ma, and did not feel that Mrs. Ma was being neglected when she came to entertain them.

The noble lady is being entertained by Madam Ma, and the young lady's daughter is helping to entertain Madam Ma's adopted daughter Du Yue.

Before he knew it, it seemed that Mrs. Ma's mother and daughter were in charge of the entire Rongguo mansion.
