Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 164 Disagreement
"Does grandma know that Brother Zhu has sneaked out?"

"When the younger one was delivering the letter, it was Mrs. Yao's mother who saw the younger one. She heard that the fourth young master in the house came to visit the eldest sister, so she asked the younger one to come back without asking any questions."

Jiang Ming raised his head and glanced at the third lady, and continued to say respectfully: "I guess the lady must know about it."

“Mama Yao thought you were in trouble at first and was so anxious;

When I heard that the fourth young master had come to our house, I said with relief, "That's good" and asked the fourth young master to stay in our house for a longer time;
When I came back, Mrs. Tai also asked you to bring a message to you, asking you to take good care of yourself and not worry about your family. "

Tang Bingxuan said noncommittally, "Well, you can go down."

After sending Jiang Ming away, Tang Bingxuan asked Zhiqiu to go back to the Duke's house to find out why Tang Wenzhu ran away from home.

Zhiqiu went back to the Duke's Mansion to find his mother who was not on duty, but she didn't ask why. She didn't want to talk more about her master, so she hurried back to the Marquis' Mansion to ask Tang Bingxuan for instructions.

Not many people in the family knew about this matter. Her father, mother and grandmother kept it secret from everyone. Tang Bingxuan just listened to her grandmother Shao's advice to raise the baby with peace of mind and did not ask anything about it.

From then on, Tang Wenzhu stayed in the Yongning Marquis Mansion, practicing martial arts with Jiang Zepei. For other subjects, Tang Bingxuan specially invited her husband to teach him.

....
Everything in Duke Rongguo's mansion seemed to be calm as usual, but the two heads of the mansion had been in a cold war for a long time.

The Duke's wife Liu's character has gradually grown over the past two years, and she is no longer the housewife who once feared Duke Rong's anger.

Mrs. Liu only felt that in the past she was too narrow-minded to control the situation, but now she didn't have Duke Rong to stand in the way for her, so she could solve the problem smoothly on her own.

Rong Guo Gong Tang Jingyan and she were husband and wife. They should respect each other and have equal status, especially when it comes to raising their children.

The eldest son Tang Wensong traveled far away to the border because of an injury. Liu knew that even if Tang Wensong was not emotionally injured, he would have to go to the border sooner or later.

Although the second son, Tang Wenbai, was not his biological son, the Liu family had never treated him harshly, but they were not very close to him.

According to Tang Wenbai's talent, it would be difficult for him to be a military general or a civil servant. From now on, he could only be an arty and idle young man.

Nowadays, although the youngest son Tang Wenzhu is young, he is smart and courageous, just like another copy of Tang Wensong. Liu Shi begins to worry about Tang Wenzhu's future.

A few days ago, Duke Rong and his wife Liu had a fierce quarrel over Tang Wenzhu's future.

Mrs. Liu did not want her younger son to follow the path of licking blood from the edge of a knife like her husband and eldest son, and hoped that Tang Wenzhu's courses would focus on literary examinations in the future;

However, Rong Guogong felt that his younger son was a rare general who knew how to adapt better than his eldest son, and wanted Tang Wenzhu to become a general of the Ling Kingdom like him.

The couple had been married for nearly twenty years, and this was the first time that they had a very heated argument.

Perhaps it was because Liu, the former wife of the Duke, had always placed herself under Duke Rong and relied on him to live her life, so she could endure the anger she had suffered countless times before;

Now that her mood has changed, Mrs. Liu put herself on the same equal footing as Rong Guogong and did not fall behind.

Fortunately, both of them knew that the family scandal should not be publicized, and the husband and wife only quarreled in Liu's main courtyard, and they did not dare to reveal anything to the servants in the courtyard.

Tang Wenzhu didn't know at first that his parents were arguing about his future. He just found that his father, Rong Guogong, didn't seem to come to his mother's main courtyard to eat and rest. He thought that his father was too busy with court affairs.

One day, Tang Wenzhu wanted to consult his father about some problems with his fists and feet, so he went to the study room in the outer courtyard to look for him. I happened to see my father Rong Guogong drinking alone, and the beautiful maid next to him almost fell into his arms.
The scene at that time made his mind explode at a young age, and he shouted loudly: "What are you doing?"

Duke Rong Guo was already drunk at this time and had no idea that the maid was throwing herself into his arms, and was caught on the spot by his younger son.

The drunken and dim-eyed Duke Rong took a closer look at the little boy in front of the house, and quickly recognized that it was his youngest son Tang Wenzhu.

"Brother Zhu, come on. Come and have a drink with father."

Tang Wenzhu glared angrily, but obediently walked to sit next to Duke Rong Guo.

The beautiful maid named Yuzi was not waiting in the study outside, but she took the opportunity to sneak over after recently finding out that Duke Rong often drank alone in the study to relieve his sorrows.

Yuzi was specially bought by the Second Madam from Renyazi as a roommate for her daughter Tang Bingqing. She has a voluptuous figure and sweet appearance, making her a good choice for her to be doted on.

Tang Bingqing is going to marry into the Sima family in March this year. The second wife, Mrs. Zhang, does not expect that the men in the Sima family are as bad at women as the second master Tang, so she has to prepare candidates for her daughter's marriage in advance.

Even if the concubine chosen for her uncle Sima Qiu becomes a concubine, the contract of sale is still in the hands of Tang Bingqing, the legitimate wife. The second lady feels that only in this way can the concubine be peaceful and obedient.

Yu Zi originally learned the rules in the inner courtyard of the second room, but it has been effective recently. The nanny who taught her etiquette did not pay much attention to her, and this gave her the opportunity to come out of the second room.

The second wife, Mrs. Zhang, had already informed her of the purpose of buying Yuzi, hoping that Yuzi, thinking of her family's kindness and the wealth of the Sima family, would favor Tang Bingqing when she became pregnant;

Little did they know that Yu Zi was the more courageous one. Taking advantage of her youth and beauty, she dreamed of becoming the concubine of Tang Jingyan, Duke of Rong.

When Yu Zi first entered the mansion, she saw Rong Guo Gong Tang Jingyan from a distance at Chui Hua Gate, and was fascinated by Rong Guo Gong's mature charm of perseverance and bravery.

After following the rules in the courtyard of the second room for several months, I finally had the opportunity to walk around the house. I gave the boy guarding the study door a pearl hairpin in exchange for the good opportunity now.

Yu Ziqiao smiled sweetly, and hurriedly picked up the jug and poured wine for Tang Wenzhu, "My lord, please pour some wine for the fourth young master."

Duke Rong suddenly realized something and took away the wine glass in front of Tang Wenzhu, "Brother Zhu is too young to drink."

Shaking his unclear head, he frowned and looked at Yu Zi, "Who are you? Why are you in my father's study?"

Tang Wenzhu also looked at Yu Zi with a puzzled expression. He also looked at this maid who was unfamiliar to him and was not serving in the outer study.

Yu Zi glanced at Duke Rong shyly, "This servant is Yu Zi, the new maid who has entered the house."

Duke Rong Guo turned a blind eye to Yu Zi's affectionate eyes and said majestically: "She didn't understand the rules when she first entered the house. She walked around the house wantonly. Someone will take her down for interrogation."

Yuzi didn't expect that Duke Rong would become ruthless. It was only now that she realized that Duke Rong didn't stop her when she approached.

Duke Rong Guo was so drunk that he didn't realize anyone was approaching, and his thoughts were all in depression.

Yu Zi blurted out in desperation, "My lord, please spare my life. I am the maid of the second wife. You cannot do whatever you want with me."

When Duke Rong heard that this woman was still the maid of his second wife, he even expressed doubts about her whereabouts.
