First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 325
Song Zixun glanced lightly at her bright red skirt, "I heard that since Mrs. Huo passed away, Yuanwai Huo has not reunited..." He raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, "Could it be that the rumors are wrong?"

Gu's pretty face turned pale.

Although the folks have always had the rule that a concubine's house cannot be a big hit, but in some people who don't pay attention to it, this kind of thing is not uncommon. The expression on the member's face suddenly became a little unsightly.

He glared at Mrs. Gu displeasedly, and said sarcastically, "This is Huo's aunt, Mrs. Gu... Country women don't understand the rules, and Mr. Song laughed at her."

Song Zixun showed a meaningful expression, nodded and said, "I see." He stopped talking.

Du Rongzhi was listening silently, and pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief.

This guy has become more and more in tune with her lately... Then he smiled softly, "Aunt Gu, let's meet again."

Song Zixun looked at her indifferently, "Do you know each other?"

Du Rongzhi nodded cooperatively, "I've seen it twice..."

Mrs. Gu quickly swallowed the tears in her eyes, and said timidly before she could finish, "Mrs. Song, at the beginning, I blamed the concubine for being ignorant, and indulged the girl for being rude... Now Xiaohong has died..." She said He bowed deeply towards Du Rongzhi, and said with sorrow, "I hope Madam will see the dead as the greatest... just forgive her for her unintentional mistakes."

Yuan Yuan suddenly became anxious--it was obvious that this woman looked down on others, and the girl followed suit, and now she still has the face to push the dead man... She took a step forward and was about to refute, but she saw Du Rongzhi shook her head at herself .

Yuanyuan pursed her lips, and retreated unwillingly behind her.

Du Rongzhi was very surprised in his heart.When she came in earlier, she had already heard the general outline of the matter from the housekeeper, but she only knew that it was the girl next to Gu who died tragically, and she had no way of knowing the rest because Song Zixun didn't have time to ask in detail.But now listening to Gu's meaning... Du Rongzhi couldn't help but quickly recalled the appearance of that maid in her mind, and only vaguely remembered that she was a neat and bright girl, and her eyes were even more shrewd...

She was the one who died?

Du Rongzhi's thoughts reached this point, and he couldn't help showing a look of regret on his face, "I saw a person who was still alive and kicking a few days ago, how would I know that if there is no one, there will be no more...The world is really impermanent."

"Ma'am is right..." Gu's tears, "Although Xiaohong is only the concubine's girl, she has served the concubine for many years, and the concubine has long regarded her as a family member. Now that she is gone, the concubine's heart... ..."

Du Rongzhi nodded sympathetically, "Auntie is kind..."

Mrs. Gu then hit the snake with the stick, "To tell you the truth, Madam... Xiaohong was still blaming herself for the abrupt Madam a few days ago... Now she is gone, and there is only this unfulfilled wish..."

Du Rongzhi sneered for a while, and waved her hands indifferently, "I've forgotten what happened that day, Aunt Gu doesn't need to mention it again."

Aunt Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "My maidservant thanked Madam a lot on her behalf... If Xiaohong knew about it underground, she would be able to rest in peace if she wanted to—"

"How can I rest in peace when I die inexplicably... This is really funny." Before she finished speaking, Yuan Yuan behind Du Rongzhi whispered something.

Du Rongzhi frowned, and lightly reprimanded, "Talking."

Aunt Gu's expression froze slightly, she clenched her handkerchief tightly with a stiff face, "What the girl said is..."

Song Zixun saw that they were having a lively conversation, so he stood up, shook his robe, and said to Du Rongzhi, "Just sit here, and I'll go to the yard where the incident happened."

Member Huo hurriedly said, "Huo is leading the way for Mr. Song."

Song Zixun nodded slightly, "Thank you."

"Your Majesty Song is very polite." Mr. Huo cupped his hands and told Mrs. Gu, "You are welcome to treat Mrs. Song."

Aunt Gu hurriedly said respectfully, "Master, don't worry."

........................

After the men left the house, Mrs. Gu asked his servants to go to the yard to pick fresh fruits for Du Rongzhi to taste.

"My master has long wanted to invite Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song to his house as guests, but he didn't expect that it would be the first time for the two of you to come to the house under such circumstances..." Mrs. Gu poured tea for Du Rongzhi herself with a flattering expression.

Du Rongzhi smiled lightly, "You are welcome, Aunt Gu, just sit down and talk."

Mrs. Gu was frightened by Xiaohong's death before, and after standing for such a long time since Song Zixun and his wife came, her legs are a little weak now, so she sued softly, but she didn't dare to take it seriously with Du Rongzhi. Sitting opposite each other, I just asked the servants to take a 杌子, and sit on the 杌子 with my body bent.

Du Rongzhi said softly, "I just heard from the housekeeper that Xiaohong's body was found in Mrs. Xianhuo's yard this morning?"

Gu's eyes flickered, and she replied cautiously, "Yes."

Du Rongzhi nodded, thought for a while, and then asked, "Who lives in Mrs. Huo's yard now?"

Gu Shi pursed her lips, and said cautiously, "After Madam passed away, my master left the yard unused because he was afraid of seeing things and thinking about others..."

Du Rongzhi nodded slightly, "I've heard that Huo Yuanwai and Mrs. Huo were childhood sweethearts, and they were deeply in love. When Mrs. Huo died in childbirth...Huo Yuanwai must be very sad, right?" She said casually, her clear eyes calmly He looked at Gu's expression.

Gu Shi was slightly taken aback, and suddenly a strange look of cruelty and horror appeared on her face... She hurriedly lowered her eyes to cover the emotions in her eyes, and said softly, "Yes... my wife is dignified, gentle and virtuous, We have known our master since we were young... After the madam left, the master was really sad for a long time."

After she finished speaking, she didn't hear Du Rongzhi's response for a long time.

Gu's heart was startled, she raised her eyes and saw Du Rongzhi was holding a teacup in her hand, she didn't know what to think of for a moment, her childish face was a little dazed.

Seemingly feeling the surprised gaze from the other party, Du Rongzhi came back to her senses and smiled at her, "Yuanwai Huo is also a person who values ​​affection."

Gu Shi nodded in agreement, and saw a girl walking in quickly from outside, whispering a few words in Gu Shi's ear.

Mrs. Gu said to Du Rongzhi with a smile, "My master is very sorry for delaying Mrs. Song's rest today... I would like to invite Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song to stay for a quick meal. Mrs. Song said that I would like to ask Mrs. Song about it... I don't know if Mrs. Song can appreciate it?"

Du Rongzhi smiled lightly, "Will it be too much trouble?"

Mrs. Gu quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, we are too happy... Please give us this opportunity, Madam."

Du Rongzhi smiled lightly, "Since that's the case, then it's better to be respectful than obey your orders."

……

Since they want to treat guests to dinner, they still invite the magistrate and his wife, so Mrs. Gu has to go to the kitchen to make arrangements.In this way, Du Rongzhi naturally asked to go to the garden of Huo Mansion.

Mrs. Gu did not refuse, and quickly ordered a clever little girl to guide Du Rongzhi, while she took a few women to the kitchen.
