Stepmother's Adoption Letter

Chapter 49 Three Girls (1)
The concubine girl of Cheng Guogong's mansion is the only one in the Guogong's mansion who didn't crawl out of the old lady's belly.The aunt who gave birth to her was sent by the old man's Shangfeng.Speaking of which, it is also a scholarly family, but it was ruined during the war.

When the old man brought his aunt back, the old lady was so angry that she couldn't eat anymore.

Later, my aunt gave birth to a bright and lively daughter, and the old lady couldn't look down on her even more.She also gave birth to two daughters, but they were gone two years ago, so she put her aunt in the back yard.

When the old man was gone, the old lady built the gate of the yard.

Yuan Lu recalled the family's book expenses, and it seemed that there was no supply for this house.

Could it be that they were left to fend for themselves?

Mother Hua said: "The old lady gave them a few shops, and then she didn't care about them. Thinking about it, the third girl was old enough last year. She's about your age."

"16 years old? Is it time to get married?"

Mother Hua said: "The third girl's aunt passed away three years ago, and her filial piety for three years was delayed. But the old Duke had already arranged a marriage for her when he was alive."

"Shouxiao?" Yuan Lu raised her eyebrows. She never heard that the aunt would be guarded here for three years. Although the old lady left them to fend for themselves, she definitely hated the three girls even more.

But for some reason, she felt a little fond of the real-tempered third girl whom she had never met before.Those who dare to stand up to the power of the old lady and insist on keeping filial piety for their biological mother for three years, this temper is somewhat respectable.

"Since she has given up her clothes, please come into the mansion and talk to me."

Mama Hua said with some embarrassment: "The old lady has sent a message that the third girl is not allowed to enter the gate of the Duke's mansion."

It's hard for an upright official to decide on housework, and it's hard to tell what's going on here.

Yuan Lu was really curious about the three girls, and took a group to their yard after eating and resting for a while.

The yard has been divided, and now it used to be bypassed from the outside.

Yuan Lu took Mama Hua and two maids, and several women went.

There was a door on the other side of the yard, and it looked like an ordinary house from the outside.

The old woman went to hand in the door, and after a while an old servant with gray hair came to open the door.

The old woman said: "Old man, the wife of our Duke's Mansion is here to visit the third girl."

After a long time, the old servant asked again: "What about the Duke's mansion?"

The mother-in-law yelled "Presumptuous!", Yuan Lu waved her back and asked her, "Old man, is the master here?"

"Oh, our girl, yes, yes." The old servant moved little by little, and opened the door for them tremblingly, "This lady is my girl's friend."

"Does your girl have many friends outside?"

"Not much," said the old servant. "In the past, the people who came here were all vicious debt collectors. Recently, the girl opened a sewing workshop, so there are more ladies and wives coming here."

Yuan Lu raised her eyebrows again, "There are still debt collectors? Anyone else dare to come to the Duke's mansion to collect debts?"

The old servant said again: "Ma'am, don't say anything about the Duke's Mansion. We are just ordinary people here, our girl will not be happy to hear that."

After the old servant welcomed them all in, he moved inside step by step: "Ma'am, wait a little longer, wait for the old servant to report to the girl first."

Seeing that he couldn't walk fast, Yuan Lu felt sorry for the old man, so she stood there and waited for him without urging him.

In the main room, Gao Lan, a senior high school girl, already knew about the situation in the courtyard.

The only person she attends is a little girl in her teens named Shuangji.Shuangji was young, and he knew about it in the yard before the old slave opened the door for them, and ran in to report to Gao Lan after hearing it.
