After being expelled from the palace, she returned with her cub and amazed the whole city

"Miss, I don't think Mr. Su has arrived."

If Mr. Su had arrived, how could the maid let the young lady guess?

Qiu Ju looked around and saw Gao Mu and Suisui. She guessed, "Miss, could it be that the emperor is here?"

"How is that possible? The emperor has been busy with a lot of things recently. The position of prime minister is vacant. He has to look for someone who can take on a big job, and he also has to review the scientific examination papers. How could he just run to our house without any trouble?" Jiang Shuyue said. Then he walked quickly towards Xingyueyuan.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard laughter like silver bells coming from the house.

"It's Miss Du!"

As soon as Jiang Shuyue walked into the courtyard, Du Yutong ran out of the house like a gust of wind.

She stepped forward and hugged Jiang Shuyue's arm, winking playfully: "Sister Yue'er, how are you? Do you feel surprised to see me?"

"It's Xi, why are you acting like a child? You even asked your maid not to tell me. It was so mysterious that I thought it was Ah Jin and Nannan who had arrived in the capital." Jiang Shuyue said, stretching out her fingers and raising her finger slightly. The tip of his nose was scratched.

"Sister Yue'er, I haven't seen you for several days. I miss you. My father rejected my aunt's marriage. I'm so happy that I just wanted to come over and tell you."

Qiu Ju took over the conversation: "Actually, Miss Du, not to mention Miss Du, knows that Aunt Du's marriage won't work out."

Seeing Jiang Shuyue nodded, "Mr. Du is not stupid. Jiang Shangshu was suddenly promoted to the position of chief minister. If his career is not going well, what future is there? Even if the matchmaker can tell the truth, your father will not I won’t agree to this marriage.”

"Sister Yue'er is still wise and sees things clearly. That's what my father said. A loser still wants to climb a high tree. He wants to be beautiful." Du Yutong took Jiang Shuyue's arm and walked towards the flower hall.

She never hid anything in front of Jiang Shuyue and spoke freely, leaving her father's face aside.

After sitting down, the maid brought in tea, and Qiu Ju stepped back to see what dishes were in the kitchen today.

Knowing that Su Jin and Su Nan were arriving in the next two days, she specifically asked the kitchen to prepare more food.

In the flower hall, Du Yutong pushed an exquisite wooden box in front of Jiang Shuyue, "Here, my aunt made it specially for you. Do you like it? If you like it, I will adjust the fragrance next time."

Before opening the lid, a faint fragrance lingered in the air.

"I like rose incense." Jiang Shuyue took the wooden box and opened it. As expected, there was a box of incense inside.

"My aunt made it by herself. The incense she makes is better than the ones sold in the shop. You can try it tonight."

Jiang Shuyue picked it up and smelled it, "The fragrance is of the right intensity. There are gardenia-scented incense and jasmine-scented incense in my house, but the only one missing is the rose-scented one."

Seeing Jiang Shuyue's love for her, Du Yutong said happily: "I knew Sister Yue'er would like it. One of my aunt's trousseau shops sells incense. My aunt originally knew how to make incense, and later hired someone who knew how to make it. The incense man has some incense making techniques that he told my aunt.”

"Sister Yue'er, have you heard? Jiang Zhengming failed to marry his aunt, so he made a concubine his wife."

Seeing Du Yutong's gossipy face, Jiang Shuyue showed an expression of disbelief, "And this matter, could it be that Aunt Yang was straightened up again?"

Du Yutong shook his head and curled his lips, "No, it's the mother of the eldest son of the concubine. I heard that the woman turned into the royal wife and suppressed Aunt Yang to death. Even the maids in Aunt Yang's house were betrayed by her. ”

Jiang Shuyue was not the original owner, so she felt unfazed after hearing Jiang Zhengming's story.

She put away the incense nonchalantly and analyzed it irrelevantly, "This is understandable. Once a person has been bullied, of course he will pay back double the amount."

In the memory of the original owner, Jiang Shuyue didn't have much impression of Jiang Zhengming's other two concubines, perhaps because she had little contact with them.

"Also, the plaque on the gate of Shangshu's Mansion has been removed. I heard from the maids in the mansion that the Jiang family moved to the north of the city." Du Yutong raised his chin with one hand and talked about the latest gossip in the capital.

"Well, the official position is gone. The mansion belongs to the imperial court, so it is natural to take it back." Jiang Shuyue nodded slightly, with an expressionless face, as if she was talking about the weather today.

Du Yutong leaned forward and said with a mysterious expression: "Does Sister Yue'er know that Mr. Jiang secretly committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"No way? Shouldn't he be arrested and tried for the crime of deceiving the emperor? Why was he just demoted?"

Jiang Shuyue expressed doubts in her heart that Jiang Zhengming should not be so bold as to deceive the emperor.

"He hid Jiang Jiaojiao. If the emperor pursues him, he will be bullying the emperor."

Jiang Shuyue's eyes widened, "You know all this?"

"Of course, the maid sold by Jiang Mansion happens to know the maid in the manor. I heard about it from the maid's mouth, but it can be said that it is not a lie. After all, the emperor only dismissed the family members of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

After Du Yutong finished the gossip, he took out a golden lock collar as if by magic.

"Sister Yue'er, this is my welcome gift to my good nephew. Where is he?"

"It's too expensive for you. Let me first thank my aunt for Suisui. He and Nangong Zeyue went to the city gate to greet Su Jin and Sunan. Maybe they won't come back at noon." Jiang Shuyue was not polite, took the heavy golden lock and put it in Playing with hands.

"It's okay. I'll wait for him to come back. I told my mother when I went out that I would come home later."

"Miss, Miss Du, please try the newly baked pastries."

While the two were talking, Lan'er walked in with a plate of crispy pear cake and interrupted their conversation.

Pear cake tastes better when it is hot. Jiang Shuyue put the golden lock on the incense box, took the handkerchief handed over by Lan'er, wiped her hands and said to Du Yutong: "Try it quickly. This cake moisturizes the lungs and relieves autumn dryness. It is a health-preserving cake."

Du Yutong was not polite either. He also took another handkerchief to wipe his hands, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

"Sister Yue'er, I have to come to your house often. The cakes made in your kitchen are so unique. They are delicious and nourishing."

"This cake is nothing. I will treat you to a big meal in a few days."

"It's a pity that the most famous Juxian Pavilion in the capital is closed. If Juxian Pavilion is still there, my sister wants to take Sui Sui to eat the ancient crispy duck there. That dish is delicious."

Looking at Du Yutong's regretful expression, Jiang Shuyue smiled without saying a word.

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Then Sui Sui ran in quickly and threw herself into her mother's arms.

"Mom, we're back."

"Did you pick up your uncle?" Jiang Shuyue asked, stroking Sui Sui's little face.

"No, Uncle Gao is still waiting outside the city. Uncle Nangong and I came back first." Sui Sui turned around and saw a pretty girl looking at him with wide eyes and curiosity.

"Call me auntie."

"Hello, pretty auntie!" Sui Sui's soft and cute appearance made Du Yutong want to reach out and pinch his little face.

"Sister Yue'er, Sui Sui is so handsome. His father must be a handsome man. Why don't you want him? It's really a waste of talent."

"Ahem..."
