First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 449
The carriage was walking steadily on the road, the wheels creaking and creaking.

Du Rongzhi lifted the curtain and looked out for a while, knowing that he would reach a fork in the road soon, and then ordered, "Yuanyuan, you go ahead and tell the driver, I suddenly don't want to go to Jing'en Temple, let him take us directly." Go to the house on the outskirts of the city."

Yuanyuan knew the inside story, and hurriedly said yes, and walked out of the carriage to talk to the coachman.

Guan'er was sitting on Du Rongzhi's lap, happily looking at the scene outside the window. Hearing her mother's words, she couldn't help being a little frustrated, she turned her head and asked with a downcast face, "Mother, why don't we go to Jing'en Temple?" Already?" She heard Madam Gu say that the temple fair at the foot of the mountain is very lively today, and there are all kinds of delicious and interesting things...

Du Rongzhi put down the car curtain, pinched her daughter's chubby chin, "Later, mother will take Guan'er to a fun place."

Guan'er blinked, half-believing, half-doubting, "More fun than a temple fair?"

"It's fun." Du Rongzhi said, "There are hot pools inside and outside the house, Guan'er can do whatever she wants in it!"

Guan'er really regained her spirits when she heard that, and asked curiously, "A hot pool? Is it like taking a bath in a big tub every time?"

Du Rongzhi couldn't help being amused by her, "It's much bigger than that..." As he was speaking, he felt the carriage slowly stop.

Yuanyuan walked back from the outside with an uneasy expression, and whispered in her ear, "The coachman said that's not what the master said..."

Just as I was talking, I heard a man's voice outside the curtain saying respectfully, "Young Madam, there is still a distance from the house on the outskirts of the city. If you go there at this time, you will definitely not be able to make it back before dark. I'm afraid it's hard to explain how small the place is. Do you see..."

Du Rongzhi put Guan'er back on the seat, raised a hand to open a small curtain, and asked in a calm voice, "Are you afraid that it will be difficult to explain to Master when you go back... can you explain to me now?"

The coachman was startled, and when he met Du Rongzhi's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, his heart shuddered, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes, I'm just a little confused..."

"If the master wants to investigate in the future, I will go with him." Du Rongzhi put down the curtain indifferently, and said coldly, "Let's go."

The coachman didn't dare to say more, he hurriedly cupped his hands in a yes, and went to the back of the carriage carrying Nanny An, Guan'er's wet nurse and others to say a few words before continuing on his way.

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

On the other side, it was already night when Song Zixun came back from his inspection tour of the village below.

Before he returned to the city, he was still a little hesitant. He was thinking whether he should go to the yamen to take the unprocessed official documents home, maybe he could talk to Du Rongzhi, and at the same time, he was thinking that when he went out this morning, he promised her that if it was late If it is too late, I will go back and bring Zheng Ji’s snacks to her tomorrow morning... After thinking about it, I think it’s rare that she would give him a good face today, and I should take advantage of the victory to pursue it. So I decided to go home to accompany her tonight, and come out to give it to her tomorrow morning buy refreshments.

Unexpectedly, he was thinking about it excitedly, but as soon as he entered the county office, he heard that Changxing had been waiting for him for a long time.

Changxing wanted to cry but had no tears.

He didn't understand who he had provoked, why this kind of errands always fell on him every time... The injury on his buttocks just healed, is it possible that it will bloom again?
Changxing bit the bullet and reported, "Young Madam took Miss Sun to a house in the suburbs early this morning... and asked the coachman to deliver this letter back to you."

Song Zixun took it with a gloomy expression, opened the envelope, and unfolded the letter.

Changxing was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, he raised his head and glanced quickly, then quickly lowered his head.

For a long time, until Changxing thought that Song Zixun was about to lose his temper the next moment...

"Understood, you go back first."

"..." Changxing stared blankly at him.that's all?

Song Zixun glanced at him, "How many people did Young Madam bring?"

Changxing thought for a while, "Nurse An and Yuanyuan have all gone, as well as the nun and girl who serve Miss Sun."

Song Zixun put the letter on the table.

He didn't feel any better when he was rushing non-stop before, but now he knew that the person who was supposed to be waiting for him at home was gone... Suddenly he felt extremely tired.

He leaned on the back of the chair, squeezed the space between his eyebrows lightly, "You will go tomorrow too."

Changxing was taken aback.

Song Zixun closed his eyes, and said calmly, "If there is anything wrong this time...you can come to see me with your head up."

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

Because the road was slow, it was already noon when everyone arrived.

Guan'er was very curious about the hot pool that her mother was talking about, but because it was a bit late, she had to be patient and eat her lunch obediently, and then she couldn't wait to drag her mother for a stroll around the house.

Although it has been two years since Du Rongzhi bought this house, it was the first time he came here, and he was no less interested than Guan'er. The mother and daughter walked around the house happily, and finally chose an open-air room in the small courtyard at the back. The small pond was surrounded by screens, and I played in it with my daughter for a while.

After Guan'er had had enough of fluttering inside, she asked the wet nurse to take her back to take a nap, while Du Rongzhi continued to pack the things she brought.

By the time everything is in order, it will be too late.

When Guan'er first arrived in the new environment, she felt strange about everything she saw. Even though the cook here was not as good as in the house, she still obediently ate a whole bowl of rice, and when she put down the spoon, her belly was round.

Du Rongzhi was also happy watching, the two of them took a walk in the flower-scented garden to digest food after dinner, she told Guan'er the story of the flower fairy, and the little girl bounced around her asking questions... ...Time flies by quickly, as if no one cares about the fact that there is no one around.

It wasn't until night after she was put to bed that Nanny An sighed softly, "Actually, Young Madam should say hello to Master before going out..."

At the beginning, Du Rongzhi persuaded the old lady to take Guan'er to the countryside to recuperate from illness, and she also witnessed how Song Zixun suffered during those days. Now, although she has a lot of opinions on Song Zixun's performance that night, but for an old man like Madam An who has been following the rules all his life In other words, Du Rongzhi's behavior of leaving her husband and running out without saying a word is still a bit inappropriate...

Du Rongzhi took off her shoes and shrank into the bed, "Maybe we've already come out...don't even think about it, mammy."

Nanny An let out a helpless "Hey", and carefully tucked her quilt, "Young Madam is tired all day, go to bed early... sleep well."

Du Rongzhi nodded, "Nurse, go and rest too."

Nanny An agreed, put down the bed curtain, blew out the candles, and Fang retreated lightly.

When she left the room, Du Rongzhi opened her eyes, and was in a daze in the darkness.

She thought she was very happy...

At least it shouldn't be like it is now, with an empty heart, as if something is missing...

Du Rongzhi sighed and closed his eyes forcefully.
