First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 422
Du Rongzhi's complexion improved day by day.

She still gets up early every morning to take care of Song Zixun's clothing, take him out, and welcome him home in the evening, prepare dinner for him, teach her daughter how to read and write, and if he is busy with official duties in the study, she will personally deliver supper to him. He eats—even the two of them are much more harmonious than before.

Even if Song Zixun wanted to try something new on the spur of the moment, she would no longer push back and twist her hands and feet as before, but tried her best to cooperate, and occasionally she could reluctantly say a few nasty words according to his meaning...

Everything seems to have returned to the warm and peaceful days when they first came to Shanyin County.

The young lady has recovered, and the eldest young master no longer has a cold face from time to time. Everyone in the Song family agrees that life is obviously much better these days than the previous few days—as expected, the young lady is the good medicine for "coffin face".

But there are always some people who are not so happy.

For example, You Shi, who is still grounded, or Nanny Zhu, who came all the way to follow her, ready to have a big fight.

When there was no one at night, Youshi couldn't help but sigh with Jingchun, the girl she brought from her natal home, "The young master treats the young wife very well... I heard others say it before, but I didn't feel it. Now I see it with my own eyes. Only then did I realize that one person can treat another person so well..."

She didn't know what to think of as she spoke, and caressing her slightly flushed pretty face, she said softly, "I don't know the blessings our young lady has cultivated in several lifetimes... If you have a husband like this, what more can a woman ask for?"

Jing Chun nodded approvingly, and said in a low voice, "But the young lady loves to make trouble too much... When I meet such a good husband as the eldest young master, I don't want to get a good return, and the husband and wife follow suit, and he is a monster all day long." She sighed, "I want this servant to say that beside the young master, there should be a virtuous wife who is as gentle and considerate as my aunt."

You Shi bent his lips and smiled, that smile was like a spring flower blooming, "You...in your heart, you think that I am good at everything, but others may not think so."

She caressed the rim of the tea bowl with her index finger with a little melancholy, "Don't mention anything else, just the foundation of this family, I am far behind the Young Madam." She is no worse than Du Rongzhi.

Jing Chun didn't think so.

She frowned and said, "Since the young lady comes from a prominent background, she should know how to be polite... But look at her, since we came to Shanyin County, what I heard and saw was all about the young lady's daring, words and deeds." An overstepping act. That's it, why is the master not only not angry at all, but always indulges the young lady?"

She finds it very puzzling.

This is also where Youshi is depressed.

Originally, when she found out that Song Zixun slammed the door of the main room that night, she was very happy for a while, thinking that her chance had finally come... Who would have thought that the two of them reconciled as before—even more gluey than before, Oil mixed with honey.How can we not make people angry and upset!
Youshi thought for a while, then asked with a gloomy face, "Where's Mrs. Zhu? Why haven't you seen her come out for a few days?"

Jing Chun whispered, "Auntie forgot... Nanny accidentally caught a cold when she went out to inquire about the news that night, and she is still on the bed."

Youshi put down the teacup with a "bang", and sneered, "She's a nanny who lives a better life than me as the master!"

Seeing a few drops of tea spilled on Youshi's hand, Jing Chun hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped it for her, while persuading her, "Auntie, don't be angry... Who told you that she was sent by the old lady? Even Grandpa I just said a few harsh words to the young lady, and didn't dare to do anything to her..."

You Shi waved his hand in annoyance, "It's nothing else... It's just that this idiot messed up my original plan..."

Ben also expected her to give Song Zixun two drops of eye drops, and took the opportunity to drive a wedge between him and the Young Madam, but she didn't expect this stupid woman to be so useless, but she went out to gossip, and when she came back, she said she was sick and lay down on the bed.I don't know if it was intentional...

You Shi thought for a while and asked Jing Chun, "You said... Could she be faking it?"

Jing Chun was taken aback, "Impossible?" She frowned, "I wanted to tell my master that it was she who proposed it herself, and we didn't force her... Why did she pretend to be sick?"

Jing Chun thought about it seriously, "But now the master and the young lady have reconciled, and the two are inseparable all day... As soon as Nanny Zhu's illness is cured, I'm afraid I don't dare to say anything else?"

Youshi pursed his lower lip in thought.

After a while, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "You and Mrs. Zhu have also worked together for a while, do you think this person has any hobbies or favorite things in private?"

Jing Chun didn't understand why You Shi would suddenly ask this, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Isn't money what Zhu Momo likes the most? You see, every time you reward her, she smiles like a flower .”

Youshi was annoyed and funny, "Apart from that? Does she have any other hobbies?" She thought, "I heard that the servants of these big families often like to gather together to play dice and cards, Xiao Lai Xiao Qudi gambled a few times... Does she have this addiction?"

"That servant didn't find out..." Jing Chun shook his head, "Besides, there are not many servants in our house. She is new here, so even if she wants to gamble, she has to find a partner, right?" She suddenly remembered, " But Mammy Zhu likes to drink very much! When she is not on duty, she can make two drinks in the room by herself."

Jing Chun didn't know what to think of, and couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "She may have been nagging when she was drunk... Once the servant happened to go in to look for her, so she took the servant to talk to her—and then said how she served Mrs. You have worked hard, but at one moment you feel that the young lady doesn't know how to pity the poor and the old, and at another moment you blame the young master for not taking her seriously..."

Youshi's heart moved when he heard this, "Is she really so daring to say that?"

"That's not it!" Jing Chun looked contemptuous, "She was annoying enough when she was sober, but she was even more like a lunatic when she was drunk..."

A smile curled up on the corner of Youshi's mouth, "If that's the case, it's easy to handle."

Jing Chun was taken aback, "What did Auntie say is easy?"

You Shi smiled and hooked his fingers at her, Jing Chun hurriedly stepped forward, listening to her whisper a few words in his ear.

Jing Chun was startled, and couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, "Auntie, that's a good idea... If this is the case, the master will despise her even more. It really kills two birds with one stone."

You Shi smiled sweetly, "Since that's the case, from now on, you have to take good care of Madam Zhu's diet and daily life, so that she can recover as soon as possible."

Jing Chun hurriedly leaned over and smiled, "Don't worry, Auntie, this slave will definitely take good care of Mother Zhu."
