Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 222
When Cao Yu arrived at Du's house, Cui Shi had just been released from the restraint, and returned to the upper room with a gloomy complexion.Fang Fang, the maidservant, mixed warm water for her to take a bath to wash away the bad luck, and the servant hurried back and forth: "Ma'am, Ma'am, it's not good! Someone from the Huo family is here!"

Cui's movement of undressing her clothes paused, only to feel her eyes darkened, her figure swayed, and she almost fell headlong into the barrel.

"Ma'am, how are you doing!"

Chunliu, the big maid who served her personally, said worriedly: "You are too tired." Then she frowned and spat: "What's the matter with the Huo family, everyone has already been arranged in our house, isn't that enough!"

Originally, she wanted to please Cui Shi, but unexpectedly, one sentence hit the pain in the master's heart, Cui Shi had no way to vent the grievance that she was holding back, so she gave Chunliu a hard look.

"Where is the man now?"

"Return to madam, people are serving tea in the front hall now."

"Bring tea? What kind of character is here?"

"Mrs. Hui is a servant of the Huo Mansion."

"An attendant is worthy to serve tea in the front hall of my Du's house? After all, the master is also an official of the court!"

Chunliu smiled wryly.Madame is confused.Who doesn't know who the Huo family is and what role Huo Ying is?Don't say it's an attendant, even a sweeper who comes to their house, it's all over the head.

"Ma'am, how about meeting that one?" Chunliu didn't dare to say much, only dared to persuade gently.

"No see!" Cui was so annoyed, if the Huo family hadn't intervened at will, would she have been grounded and lost all dignity?
"Ma'am, you'd better go and have a look. After all, the visitor is a guest. Madam comes from a famous family, and the demeanor of the family can be seen and seen." Chunliu was really anxious, for fear that Mrs. Cui would become stubborn and offend again. After leaving the master, wouldn't there be no An Sheng in that day?

Cui also knew what Chunliu meant, and the words she said in a fit of anger just now made her feel a little more at ease, moreover, the step of the servant girl was just what she wanted, so she reluctantly said: "Then let's go see you."

After Cui changed her clothes and dressed up, she went to the front hall slowly.

Unexpectedly, when they reached the front hall, they didn't see anyone from the Huo family.

The little girl trembling slightly said: "Go back to madam, the young master said, since madam is so negligent, he must be looking down on his status, just wait for Lord Hou to come to the door in person someday."

Cui's body wobbled, she took two steps back and fell down on the armchair.

She just wanted to show off, and she expected that since she was from the Huo family, she must have something to tell. She didn't expect that a servant of the other party didn't want to explain how to go back to deal with business without replying, but played with her and left first.

If the master knows about this, her confinement may continue.

Cui was stunned for a moment before saying: "Quickly ask someone to chase him to see what kind of young master that is. If you can chase him back, immediately chase him back!"

Seeing that Cui Shi's anxious face changed, the little girl also knew that the matter was urgent, so she hurriedly saluted and ran out scrambling.

But wait for idlers to catch up with Cao Yu's lightness kung fu?
While the servants of Du's family were still chasing them along the way, he had already returned to the study in the outer courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and said with a smile: "My master expected it well, Cui Shi did indeed lift the restraint today, and he did lose his temper. Seeing that she didn't come to see her, no one else from Du's house came out, so he came back first. But Master Hou just wanted to accompany his wife to Du's house, so he just went directly, it's not worth it, right? Where are you going? Is it still so troublesome?"

Huo Shijiu shook his head and said: "The girl from Du's family is Wu'er's handkerchief, and Yunying is unmarried, so I will go with Wu'er if I behave well, and the gossips outside are afraid that they will add fuel to their jealousy and say a lot of things that are not. It's coming. Why don't you use your anger like this, and it's justifiable to go. Even if someone chews their tongue, at least there is another way to say it."

Cao Yu couldn't help sighing: "For the sake of Madam, I really put my heart into it."

Huo Shijiu only smiled gently.

There are too many people who are interested in Jiang Wu, and there are too many people who are caring. Wenda Jiahui can rush to deliver furs day and night, so he can't support her?

Besides, supporting her was what he should do.

Cao Yu couldn't help shaking his head when he thought about what the Cui family would face after Mrs. Du returned home, who made him offend someone Jiang Wu cared about.

Huo Jiujiu and Jiang Wu were grandly invited by Du Yi.

Jin Ninghou said that he wanted to visit the door in person, how could the Du family just wait for Jin Ninghou to come in person?No matter what, I have to take the initiative to save some face.

Jiang Wu and Huo Jiujiu followed Du Yi to the front yard on the clean bluestone bricks, and sat down in the front hall where the red carpet was laid.Du Yi forced himself to withdraw with a polite smile, and said, "Jin Ning Hou and his wife are willing to welcome you, the humble house is really full of splendor."

"Master Du is polite." Huo Shijiu said with a smile: "It really depends on Master Du's sincerity, otherwise I wouldn't bring my wife with me today."

Du Yi nodded again and again, although he was shocked to scold Huo Shijiu to death, but he didn't dare to offend him at all.

I don't know who spread the word in the court, saying that the emperor meant to recognize the prince of Marquis Jinning as his adopted son?The little emperor has always only looked at his own preferences when doing things, and did not play cards according to common sense. This news may be true.

Huo Shijiu's position in front of the emperor was already stable enough. Now that he was holding the tiger talisman in his hand, and his son became the emperor's adopted son again, the road ahead would be even smoother.

Although he looked down on such a treacherous and sycophant, he didn't have the courage to go head-on, didn't he look at Jiang Xuewen who was so tough, and now he was bloody.

Huo Jiujiu looked at Jiang Wu with a smile, "Ma'am, don't you want to meet your close friend?"

"Yes." Jiang Wu asked with a smile: "Master Du, can I see Yuan'er?"

"Of course, of course." Du Yi said hesitantly: "I just don't know if Madam is going to the inner house, or..."

After all, Huo Shijiu is a foreigner, so it's not easy to ask a girl who hasn't left the court to show her face.

Jiang Wu stood up and said, "I'll go see her."

Du Yi was very grateful in his heart, and just as he was about to nod, Huo Shijiu said: "Mrs. Du, the former son, has promised to liquidate and return the land and shops left by Ms. Du's biological mother. Today I specially brought an experienced shopkeeper here , Why don't you let the shopkeeper hand over here while you are going to see Miss Du, madam."

This is clearly a robbery!

Du Yi's teeth itch in anger.

He knew about the generous dowry of the original wife, and although he didn't intend to withhold his wife's concubine, it was still psychologically uncomfortable.

However, he was afraid of Huo Shijiu, for fear that this man would do something unexpected if he became arrogant and unreasonable.So I had to say: "Your wife has indeed mentioned this matter to me, and the matter is almost done. Since Marquis Jin Ning has brought someone here, he will straighten things out in front of Lord Hou, so as not to save my wife The stupid woman in the deep house is ignorant, which broke the mood of Lord Hou."

Huo Jiujiu nodded with a smile, and waved to the people behind him.

Naturally, the big shopkeeper who had been arranged earlier came forward to salute.

Du Yi ordered someone to go to the back to ask Cui's shopkeeper whereabouts.

When Huo Shijiu was helping Jiang Wu to get Du Mingyuan's property back, Jiang Wu had already arrived at Du Mingyuan's bedroom.

Compared to the last time we met, Du Mingyuan's complexion improved a lot in a short time, and her daily use and clothing were changed into better ones.It can be seen that the Du family paid more attention to her again.Even her two stepsisters were very respectful standing behind Du Mingyuan.

Jiang Wu was too lazy to make false claims in front of outsiders, and was not really close to them, so she waved her hands naturally: "You all go down. I will talk to Yuan'er alone."

The two girls of the Du family, who were originally flattering, blushed when they heard the words, and retreated in embarrassment.

When there was no one else in the room, Du Mingyuan took Jiang Wu's hand and said, "Wu'er, thanks to you."

"I see that your complexion is much better. How are you doing these days?"

"Isn't it good? Ting Yu is really capable. He cleaned up the messy people around me. Those who dared to show face to me in the past have changed their colors when they saw me. I used to always think about the future. Convincing people, now it seems that I was too naive, this world simply cannot tolerate you to reason, only when you are strong can you have the right to speak."

"It seems that you have felt a lot these days."

Jiang Wu couldn't help laughing, Du Mingyuan's change of mind shows that she has seen through some people and some things, and she has also let go of the idea of ​​wanting to be a sister-in-law.

Du Mingyuan said bluntly: "Thanks to you. You became a villain for me, and everything was done to help me. If I don't make progress, why don't I become an idiot who can't afford it? And Cui's feet are grounded." These days, I have also thought a lot. After leaving the cabinet, if I don’t have a sum of money to accompany me, it is rare to meet a close person, and not everyone is lucky to meet a single-minded person. What you fight for me is all For my own good."

"Of course I do it for you, and I also want to not take advantage of those who have evil intentions. Aying and I brought the big shopkeeper today, and right now I'm going out with your father to handle the handover of the property and shop. I'll call them later I came to see you, and it will be your envoy from now on. Also, the original maids around you are not sincere, and some little girls who have hidden intentions are not easy to use anymore. I brought you a few more today. Come kindly."

Hearing the rain and hearing the words, she was very happy. Jiang Wu said so, it is the matter here, and she can go back to the Hou's mansion.

Du Mingyuan took Jiang Wu's hand and said, "Wu'er, if you didn't help me this time, I still don't know where I am now."

"The relationship between you and me, do you still need to talk about it?"

"Ma'am, Mrs. Du is asking to see you." The jade bridge outside the verandah replied.

Without turning her head back, Jiang Wu said, "No see."

"Yes."

Yuqiao went to turn him down.

Du Mingyuan asked in a low voice, "Is this okay?"

"She used Qiao as a gesture. She didn't want to come to see me sincerely. Since I hate seeing each other, why bother to meet." Jiang Wu turned and said, "I'm at ease once the matter of your side is over. In the future, I will choose a good and reliable husband-in-law for you, and you will never have to worry about it for the rest of your life."

While Du Mingyuan was moved, she said angrily: "Look at you, it's really different after you're married, so I've said that."
