First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 16 Humility and Respect
Mrs. Du smiled, "Let her in." Then she turned to Du Rongzhi and said, "I'm afraid I know you're coming back today, so come and have a look."

Du Rongzhi nodded.

Aunt Zhao was the mother's dowry. When the mother married into the Du family for three years and had no children, she gave her to the father.She was also very competitive and soon became pregnant with a child. After giving birth to a boy, her mother made her decision and adopted her as an aunt.

Two years later, my mother gave birth to herself, and my father's other concubines also gave birth to several younger sisters one after another, but there were no more boys in the family.It is precisely because of this that Aunt Zhao's mother is very expensive because of her son, and has always been favored by her father.Fortunately, Aunt Zhao is a person who knows how to be grateful. No matter how much her father values ​​her, she is still respectful and humble when serving her mother. Aunt Zhao is always gentle and soft-spoken, and Du Rongzhi also likes her very much.

In fact, it's not just Du Rongzhi, Mrs. Du sees that she has been working hard all these years, never fighting or grabbing, she also has a lot of pity for her, and because she is weak after giving birth to her son, she even spares her daily morning and evening appointments, It's just that Aunt Zhao always said it was against the rules, and she still insisted on serving her mother every day.

The curtain was quickly lifted from the outside, and a woman with a beautiful face came in wearing a peach-colored beige, stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Mrs. Du.

Mrs. Du signaled her to get up, "Didn't you just serve me here this morning... You are weak and told you to go back and rest, why are you here again?" Then she asked the little girl to come over with a stick.

Aunt Zhao sat down gently, and said with a smile, "I heard the girl said that sister Zhi is back, so I thought about coming over to have a look..." She looked at Du Rongzhi again, and praised, "I haven't seen you for a few days, look at my sister The color is getting better."

Du Rongzhi smiled shyly, lowering her eyes halfway.

The brocade handkerchief in her hand was wrung out of shape by her master, Du Rongzhi resisted the turmoil in her heart.

It turned out to be like this... It turned out to be like this!

Three years later, there was a scandal in Prince Bao's mansion that a concubine framed the royal family, which made Jin Sixue, who was famous for being expensive, famous.Only now did the world know: it turns out that this golden silk snow is not only elegant and pleasant-smelling, but even the rhizomes have been refined to give off a faint fragrance.Both of these are non-toxic, harmless and elegant things, especially the fragrance of the rhizomes is so faint that it is almost inaudible. However, if the smells of these two are mixed together, they can become an invisible poison that kills people.

The favored concubine of Prince Bao's mansion in the previous life was the maidservant who bought off the princess and mixed the powder extracted from the rhizome of Jinsixue into the powder box of the princess, resulting in the death of both mother and child of Prince Bao, who was pregnant... Afterwards, it was revealed because the servant girl failed to blackmail her repeatedly, and Prince Bao actually beat the concubine to death in a rage. This scandal became known to everyone, and it caused panic among countless famous families. Out of such a vicious and shrewd wife with a heart of snakes and scorpions, Jin Sixue, who was once famous in the capital, has been completely lost in the wealthy family since then...

At that time, she asked the shopkeeper in the shop to get a box out of curiosity.The smell is really very light, even if you get close, you can barely smell it. If it is mixed with other rouge fragrances, it is impossible for ordinary people to detect it.If she hadn't been blind in her previous life, her senses of hearing and smell had become extremely sensitive, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to tell the difference, the fresh jasmine fragrance on Aunt Zhao's body carried a special fragrance that seemed to be absent...

Du Rongzhi took a deep breath, and when she raised her head again, there was still a sweet smile on her face.

Mother was still talking to Aunt Zhao... Aunt Zhao leaned forward slightly, her eyes were focused and pious, and she responded softly from time to time.

The sun shone on her mother's slightly thinned cheeks, making Du Rongzhi's eyes swell and ache a little.

...My mother probably didn't know until the end that she died at the hands of this seemingly humble and respectful Aunt Zhao who was always gentle and harmless...

Mrs. Du caught a glimpse of Du Rongzhi's calm expression, and was only absent-mindedly playing with the pearl bracelet on her wrist, thinking that she was bored, she said a few words to Aunt Zhao, and sent her away.

"But tired of listening?" Mrs. Du asked with a smile.

"No," Du Rongzhi held her mother's arm with a smile, "It's just that my daughter comes back rarely, and I want to talk to mother more." As he spoke, he couldn't help thinking, "Is Aunt Zhao still coming to greet you every day?"

"That's not true." Mrs. Du said angrily, "I told her many times, but she just refused, saying that she couldn't break the rules. Besides, you are married these few days, and in my mother's heart..." Mrs. Du suddenly After a pause, "She came to keep me company, and the days passed faster."

Du Rongzhi's heart softened, and she said, "Mother..."

"Okay, okay, don't cry anymore." Mrs. Du hurriedly patted her, and seeing that it was almost time, she sent people to the front to invite Master Du, Song Zixun, and Du Yunting and his wife who were in the study together. Had lunch in the flower hall.

After the meal, Song Zixun was taken to play chess by Du Yunting, while Master Du went back to his study.

Du Rongzhi sat with Madam Du for a while, and seeing that she looked a little distressed, she told her mother that she wanted to go back to her boudoir, and then she came out of Madam Du's yard and went to her father's study.
