First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 481
A few days later, news spread that the county magistrate Xinna's aunt suddenly became seriously ill and died suddenly.

………………

A few pots of chrysanthemums in the corridor are blooming just right, and the golden stamens are shining with crystal light under the sunlight.

In the room, Du Rongzhi took a sip of tea slowly, "Youshi has a wicked mind, and dared to resort to such indecent methods against the young master, it is really not a pity to die... Mammy, don't you think so?"

Nanny Zhu, who was kneeling on the ground, was as pale as paper.She had been locked up in the firewood room for the past two days, and her long and thin face became more and more sunken, making her look more than ten years older.

She replied tremblingly, "Young... what the young lady said is..."

She swallowed reluctantly, "Fortunately, she is lucky, the eldest young master is magnanimous, and the young lady is, again, such a virtuous person... For the sake of her pregnancy, let her go, let her and that one go." A life with the surname Tang..."

Du Rongzhi couldn't help covering her lips and said with a smile, "Nurse is really good at talking..." She suddenly withdrew her smile as she spoke, "Could it be that You Shi was just deceived by your sweet words back then?"

Madam Zhu's complexion changed drastically, "Slave, I was wronged..." She cried out in fright, "It's all because of that whore Youshi's lack of greed and persecution of this servant... I can't help myself... please forgive me, Young Madam, Forgive this servant girl!" After saying that, he lay down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Du Rongzhi sighed, and said helplessly, "Nurse should also know that the young master is really angry when something like this happened... According to what he meant, he wanted to beat you fifty times, so he stripped you off. Throw me out of the mansion... It's because I thought about how Nanny used to serve in front of my mother, instead of looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, so I was able to persuade her."

Mother Zhu was startled and frightened. Hearing that Du Rongzhi's words seemed to be loose, she hurriedly beat the snake and said with a stick, "Young lady has long said that the young lady is the most virtuous person in the world. The young master is a match made in heaven... I don't know what the old ladies in the house are thinking, but they insisted on forging such a disaster..." She cried regretfully, "The servant also called that shameless little bitch I was deceived, so I committed such a wrong thing... I just hope that the young lady will do me a favor and say something nice to my master, and don't beat me out... I beg you, my servant!" He said again and again. He kowtowed several times to Du Rongzhi.

Du Rongzhi waited until Xiang'er had heard enough, and then said slowly, "It's not that I don't want to help Mammy, it's just that Nanny was originally sent by the old lady to serve Youshi, and now Youshi is flying away with the man outside, Mammy Even if I go back, how will I explain to the old lady?" She sighed softly, and said sympathetically, "Why don't I tell you about it for you, just let you pack your things and find a place to live for the rest of your life? good?"

Although Du Rongzhi's words sound nice, but Madam Zhu's family members are all working in the Duke's Mansion, and she is an old woman in the south who doesn't know her place well, so where can she go?
Even if there is a place to go, what place is better than the Song Mansion, which treats the poor and the weak well, and treats old slaves well?What's more, she has been lazy all these years and doesn't have much savings. What's the difference between going out and letting her die?
At this time, Nanny Zhu was really scared. She cried and crawled to Du Rongzhi's feet, "Please, young lady, don't drive your servants away! Slaves are like cows and horses, and I will definitely repay your kindness to young lady! Don't drive the slaves away..."

Du Rongzhi showed embarrassment, "But about You Shi..."

Zhu Momo hurriedly said, "Young Madam, don't worry! If someone asks about it in the future, the servants will only say that You Shi had an epidemic, and died of the disease..." She burst into tears, "I just ask you, Madam, to let the slaves go. Let the slaves stay in the mansion to serve you..."

Du Rongzhi pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time, until Mammy Zhu waited almost desperately, and then slowly said, "Forget it, because you have worked in the mansion for decades, and you have worked hard without credit. I will bring this matter up to the young master later on."

Seeing Mammy Zhu's face relax, she said leisurely, "But I can't guarantee whether the young master will agree or not."

Nanny Zhu nodded again and again, and said excitedly, "The young master will definitely agree! He loves you so much, he will agree to whatever you say!" She said solemnly again, "Thank you, young madam, for your kindness... After going up the mountain of knives and down into the sea of ​​flames, the servants will swear to be loyal to the young lady to the death!"

Du Rongzhi saw her crying and laughing, her face covered with snot and tears, and she couldn't bear to look any further, so she just waved her hand, "Take her down."

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

When Mrs. Zhu was dragged down, Yuan Yuan couldn't help but stepped forward, and said puzzledly, "Young Madam, this Mrs. Zhu relies on the old to sell the old, and usually relies on the support of the old lady and the eldest aunt, and dares to point fingers at you. Now I have such a good opportunity to get rid of her." , why don't you drive her away?"

Du Rongzhi just smiled and said nothing.

Jing Si changed a cup of hot tea for Du Rongzhi, and said with a smile, "You also said that Madam Zhu has the support of the old lady and the eldest aunt. It's great to be able to get rid of this thorn in my side, but what about after that? Sooner or later, Master and Young Madam They have to go back to Beijing, and this matter must be explained to the old lady."

"By then, all the people related to Aunt You will have been exposed. Even if we are reasonable, there is no guarantee that we will not be suspected by interested people..."

Yuan Yuan is not a stupid person, Jing Si understood the truth as soon as she finished speaking, she thought about it, and was a little annoyed, "But the young lady was too polite to her just now, so she should reprimand her harshly, Let her be a good person with her tail between her legs from now on!"

Jing Si and Du Rongzhi looked at each other, and said with a smile, "If she hates Mrs. Shang because of this, how can she willingly testify for the death of 'Aunt You'?"

Yuan Yuan curled her lips, "If she is not afraid of the old lady chasing Aunt You for cheating on Hong Xing, she can make the matter public...we are still afraid of her?"

Jing Si shook her head, "Although what she did for You Shi is disdainful, but in detail, the root cause is still because I favor the Young Madam... Once this matter is revealed, not only will the Master's face be ugly, but the Young Madam It will also be disliked by the elders because of this, and it will not do us any good..."

Du Rongzhi nodded approvingly, looked at Yuanyuan with a smile, "Now do you understand?"

Yuanyuan nodded sincerely, and sighed with a smile, "Sure enough, sister Jingsi thinks clearly!"

Jingsi smiled, "Actually, there is an advantage in making Mammy Zhu insist that Aunt You died of illness."

The two couldn't help but look at her.

Jing Si said softly, "My maidservant also heard you mention before, how the old lady in the mansion is so insightful and decisive in killing..." She paused, "If you tell the truth about Aunt You, she may not fail to guess See through the crux of it."

Du Rongzhi was taken aback for a moment, and when he realized it, he couldn't help frowning, "You mean there's something hidden about this matter?"

Jing Si smiled lightly, "This question... I am afraid that the young lady can only ask the eldest young master for verification."
