First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 403

Yuanyuan went back to the kitchen with a heavy heart.

Du Rongzhi was so busy that she didn't notice anything strange about her.

When everything was almost ready, Du Rongzhi ordered while untiing her apron, "...steam a stick of incense on the steamer, let it cool down before spreading the sweet-scented osmanthus sauce..." She thought about it Thinking, "My father doesn't like too much sweetness, so don't give up his share."

The fat cook quickly replied yes, and flattered her with a smile, "The servants used to work in the rich family's house. The ladies said they were cooking, but they just watched from the side... the ones who really wash their hands and make soup , you are the first one!"

Du Rongzhi smiled, washed her hand and wiped it with a handkerchief, "Actually, I like to do this myself..." Yuanyuan put on a bracelet and ring for her.

The cook couldn't help laughing, "Our adults are so lucky!"

Yuan Yuan looked at the smile that could not be hidden on Du Rongzhi's face, pursed his lips and hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Young Madam, I have something to report..."

Du Rongzhi was startled, and just about to ask——

"Young Madam, Young Madam!" A little girl ran in from the outside out of breath, "Grand... Grandpa and Miss Sun are back!"

Du Rongzhi was taken aback for a moment, and his face immediately beamed with joy, "Where are they now?"

The little girl smiled happily, "I heard that the carriage has turned into Ping'an Lane, maybe now—"

Before she finished speaking, Du Rongzhi had already lifted her skirt and walked outside quickly.

Yuanyuan sighed helplessly, and quickly followed out.

As soon as the group reached the door, they heard the sound of horseshoes on the street.

Song Zixun rode on a tall horse, and the long-distance trek for several days did not damage his demeanor at all. His upright figure immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The four eyes met, and Du Rongzhi's eye sockets felt slightly hot...

It was only at this moment that she suddenly realized that she missed him even more than expected.

Song Zixun's smile also became very gentle. He got off the horse, threw the reins to Changwang who had been waiting by the side, and strode forward.

"You are back." She stood there quietly, the smile on her face was as delicate and beautiful as the crabapple flowers blooming on the skirt.

"Thin." He looked at her and smiled, "But miss me?"

Du Rongzhi glared at him angrily, and whispered with a reddish face, "Don't be a badass, sister Wan is still in the car..."

Song Zixun's eyes darkened almost imperceptibly.

But I heard a woman's extremely soft voice suddenly coming from the carriage behind me, "Miss Sun, be careful, don't knock..."

The smile on the corner of Du Rongzhi's mouth froze.

Song Zixun saw it, shook her hand vigorously, and said in a low voice, "I'll talk to you about this later." After saying that, he turned and walked back to the carriage, and carried Guan'er out from inside.

Behind him came down a young woman wearing a light blue dress, her eyebrows were like distant black, and her eyes were like autumn water.She got out of the carriage with the help of the girl, Tingting stepped forward gracefully, leaned over and said, "My concubine, Youshi, has seen the young lady..."

Du Rongzhi looked at her hair that had been twisted into a woman's bun... suddenly felt a little funny.

She ignored Song Zixun and took Guan'er from Song Zixun's hand, and asked with a smile, "Guan'er has been away from home for so long, do you miss your mother?"

Guan'er is still young, so naturally she can't see the undercurrents in the three people's world. She nodded with slanted eyebrows, and said in a sticky way, "I miss my mother, I miss it...I miss it every day! Daddy also misses it!"

Du Rongzhi smiled lightly, but said nothing.

Seeing their mother and daughter talking and laughing, You Shi still maintained the previous posture, and timidly said, "I personally greet the young lady...Young lady, Wanfu Jinan."

Du Rongzhi seemed to have discovered You Shi's existence only at this time, she raised her lips and looked at Song Zixun with a half-smile, "This is..."

Before Song Zixun could speak, he heard Guan'er's baby voice in Du Rongzhi's arms and said softly, "Mother, this is Aunt You..." She covered her mouth and whispered in Du Rongzhi's ear, "Mother, this is Aunt You..." Dear, Daddy said that he would not have a younger brother, so as not to make mother sad..."

It's a pity that what she thought she was whispering was extremely clear to the ears of everyone present.

Youshi bit her lip and looked at Song Zixun resentfully, her beautiful eyes were instantly clouded with moisture.

Song Zixun didn't look at her at all.His gaze landed on Du Rongzhi's face right and wrong.

The latter only smiled lightly, "Mother is not sad." She gently touched the little hair on her daughter's head, "As long as mother's Guan'er is by Mother's side, no one can break Mother's heart."

She said, looking at Youshi with a smile, "Aunt You, get up quickly too... We are all a family, so there is no need to be so polite."

Youshi forced a smile, "Thank you, Young Madam." Then she got up with the help of the girl.

Du Rongzhi handed her daughter over to the wet nurse who got off the carriage, and said with a warm smile, "It's been a long journey, thank you for taking care of the young master and Miss Sun for me..."

"No, no, no," You Shi shook his head quickly, and said with a humble face, "These are all things within the status of a concubine...Young Madam said so, it will break the status of a concubine."

Du Rongzhi smiled lightly, then turned her head and told the housekeeper, "Someone send my aunt to the guest room to rest, and find two smarter maids to serve her... When the room is vacated, I will put my aunt in."

The butler quickly answered yes.

Only then did Du Rongzhi smile and said to You Shi, "Originally, these should have been prepared a long time ago... It's just that our master wanted to give me a surprise, and he didn't tell me all the time, so we can only wrong you to stay in the guest room for a few days. You can move in after the other house is tidied up."

Do you want to tell her that I am an outsider in this family...

You Shi clenched the handkerchief in his hand, and said gratefully, "Young Madam's arrangement is already very good..."

Du Rongzhi nodded slightly, stretched out her arms to hug Guan'er, without looking at Song Zixun, "I've worked hard all the way, let's go back and have a rest."

Song Zixun pursed his lips to look at her, nodded and said, "Let's all go in." After saying that, he walked in first.

Du Rongzhi hugged her daughter, kept two arms away from him, and followed behind unhurriedly.

Youshi raised his eyes and quietly looked at the family of three, and followed them step by step.

……

After entering the courtyard, You Shi was taken to the guest room to rest, Song Zixun held Du Rongzhi, "Listen to me to explain to you..."

Du Rongzhi smiled and withdrew her hand, "Master, let's take a bath first to relieve fatigue... Don't be in a hurry if you have anything to say at this moment."

"Rong Zhi—"

But Du Rongzhi ignored her, and turned to ask her daughter with a smile, "Sister Wan, are you happy to go back to the capital for the New Year?"

Song Zixun looked at her back and sighed helplessly, "Then I'll take a shower first." After saying that, he took a change of clothes and went into the clean room.

Only then did the smile on Du Rongzhi's face fade away...

"...Mother...Mother!" The daughter's unhappy voice sounded in her ear.
