Chapter 35: Dark Chess
"But, what about tomorrow?" Zhou reminded.

Mrs. Zhou chuckled disdainfully: "What can I do? It's only natural for me to find a wife for my son. What can she do to me? Tomorrow, I will eat and drink as much as I want, and play as much as I want." Son, as long as she doesn't tear her face, we will play with her, and if she does, I'm not afraid of her."

"However, I always feel that this matter must not be so simple."

"So what?" Mrs. Zhou raised her chin proudly.

Mrs. Zhou's aura is not weak, and the worries in Zhou's heart were immediately dispelled, and she said with a smile: "Auntie said the same thing. She really can't do anything. I was too careful."

"It's right to be careful. After you go back, ask Ren Haosheng to pay attention to what's going on with her, and find out every detail, so we won't be too passive." Mrs. Zhou urged again.

"Don't worry, my aunt, I've already made arrangements."

"That's fine, you can go back."

"Okay, when will Auntie come over tomorrow?"

"I'll be there after breakfast."

Zhou Shi nodded in response and stood up, then asked with a low laugh: "Do you want to fan the Duke's Mansion?"

Mrs. Zhou chuckled: "We don't need to fan the fire, the Duke's Mansion will definitely not miss such excitement."

The aunt and nephew looked at each other and smiled.

When Mrs. Zhou came out of Mrs. Zhou's room, she met Mrs. He who came to see Mrs. Zhou. When the two sisters-in-law met, they naturally held hands and laughed, and Mrs. He laughed and said, "I never see you coming here. , as expected, she is the grandma who is in charge of the house, so she is so busy? It makes me feel sorry for you, but you can't reach me."

"I didn't come over, and you didn't go over there to see me? You just said cheap things, so you can see that you are just pretending to be good." Zhou said with a smile.

He Shi asked again with a smile: "Then you are finally here today, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you give us a chance to treat you properly?"

"I can't do it today. Tomorrow the eldest princess will invite the second wife to our place to enjoy chrysanthemums and eat crabs. I have to go back and watch them prepare to go."

"Sure enough, she is the grandma who can't leave for a moment?"

"When our second mistress comes in, I'll probably be able to have some leisure." Zhou Shi said, and waved his hand at He Shi again, "Okay, I won't tell you anymore, the eldest princess is going to pass on dinner ,I have to go."

He looked at Zhou's back in a hurry, shook his head with a smile, turned around and walked inside.

"Grandma, be careful of the threshold." The maid next to her helped her up, and then said in a low voice: "Shall we follow the wife to the Eldest Princess tomorrow?"

The eldest princess invited Mrs. Zhou over, saying that it was commonplace to gossip, but everyone really couldn't figure out the intention.He Shi thought about it seriously, then turned back to look at his personal servant girl, and said with a light smile: "Madam wants to go there, so we naturally have to go there to serve."

"Grandma said yes." The servant girl responded with a light smile, "I will go back later and I will clean up for grandma."

After breakfast on the second day, He Shi indeed accompanied Mrs. Zhou in a car to visit the Eldest Princess' Mansion.

Nanny Wang, who was beside the eldest princess, came out to greet her in person, and politely invited the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the garden of the eldest princess' mansion.

The sweet-scented osmanthus tree has been placed properly for a long time, and twelve large screens carved with magnolia and crabapple carved in sandalwood are placed in the northeast to block the autumn wind.Seasonal flowers on both sides, stone bonsai are all precious and exquisite.The four sets of couches are placed opposite each other, the first two sets are naturally for the eldest princess and Mrs. Zhou, and the bottom set is for the two juniors of the Zhou family and the He family.

The eldest princess wore a half-new homely brocade dress today, and was standing in the three-foot-square glass fish tank playing with a group of bright red fish. Hearing Mrs. Zhou's greeting, she turned around with a smile, a very kind smile. He stepped forward and took Mrs. Zhou's hand personally, and said with a smile: "It's not outside, why should Second Sister-in-law be so polite? Please take a seat."

The eldest princess's attitude made Mrs. Zhou's heart pound. She originally thought that when she came to see the royal family's face, she didn't expect it to be a scene of affectionate sister-in-law?
What's more, what made everyone even more surprised was that the eldest princess actually cooked tea by herself, and politely handed the teacup to Madam Zhou, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, spring tea is bitter, summer tea is astringent, and it tastes better. Bailu. Second sister-in-law, try the new autumn tea from below, maybe you can still drink it."

Mrs. Zhou took the tea, thanked her, smelled the fragrance first, and then tasted the tea soup, sipped it carefully, and continued to praise: "The things here are exquisite, if such good tea is not here, where would we be?" Blessed to eat."

Seeing Mrs. Zhou's smiling and charming face, the eldest princess silently gave a thumbs up in her heart. This woman's scheming is much deeper than the one in the Duke's mansion. The eldest princess Ninghua's gaze was like a torch, so why didn't she Why did you choose her as the long-term daughter-in-law?
Although he secretly sighed with emotion in his heart, he didn't show a trace of it on his face.The eldest princess smiled and added tea to Mrs. Zhou, and said: "Sister-in-law likes it, just bring some when you leave. Why are you so polite?"

Here, the elder sisters-in-law are politely tasting tea, and the He family and Zhou family are also chatting and laughing together below.

He Shiyin asked: "Little sister is not at home, the Eldest Princess is really much cleaner here."

"She was fascinated by the little clouded leopard in Ninghou's mansion, and said nothing to come back. No, the third brother got up early today and said to get some pure white kittens to lure her back. Zhou smiled helplessly and shook his head.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said: "Little milk cats are easier to find than little clouded leopards. We have a female cat at Madam Lu's house over there. The day before yesterday, she told me that she had just given birth to three little milk cats. It's so fun, and I even asked our little princess if he is rare or not."

The eldest princess smiled and said: "It's a good relationship. You can help me and ask later. If it's okay, help Tao change it and come back because of that girl. It's not a problem to always live in Ninghou's mansion."

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly replied: "That's easy to say, I'll ask her to bring it to the eldest princess later."

The four people here got together to taste tea first, and then had a banquet. Everyone started to push and change glasses, and after ordering to drink to their heart's content, they started to touch dominoes.

The two couples of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law played together until dark, and the eldest princess left them for dinner again, and everyone dispersed.

Before leaving, Mrs. Zhou took the eldest princess's hand and said with a smile: "I will invite you back tomorrow, and the eldest princess must appreciate it."

The eldest princess smiled and said: "The concubine Zhuang said a few days ago that I want to enter the palace tomorrow. I don't know what to say. The second sister-in-law's wine is stored first. When Jianshen's child is engaged, I will take it with her." Go drink and come back."

Mrs. Zhou had been drinking and playing cards for a whole day, she was dizzy when she heard this, and she was taken aback for a long time.It was He who laughed first: "What the eldest princess said, our second child's marriage has not yet been written off. Do you really want to wait until he gets engaged before going to drink?"
