First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 52

In addition, since Du Rongzhi told Nanny An to handle the affairs, she simply put her hands aside and made peace every morning and evening to serve her husband, everything was the same as usual.

After going like this for about four or five days, one morning when he came back from the old lady's greeting, on the way to accompany the old lady back to the room, Du Rongzhi hesitated to speak several times, with a face full of worries.

After returning to the Green Bamboo Garden, the Da Furen ordered someone to serve her warm barley porridge, and said with concern, "My son, what's the matter today? I haven't seen you like this since you entered our house." I did, but are you having trouble with Brother Xun?"

Du Rongzhi shook her head, bit her lips and said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law has something to report today."

The eldest lady was startled slightly, then thought about it, Fengqing Court has not invited an imperial physician these few days, it should not be what she thought, although she smiled gently, "What made you so difficult. What is there with your mother?" What can't be said? You can say it anyway."

Du Rongzhi got up and blessed her body, "Returning to my mother, my daughter-in-law vaguely heard it mentioned a few days ago that there were a few old and shameless women in the yard who used to drink, gamble, fight and scold at night. Girl... my daughter-in-law originally thought it was a good person spreading rumors, but I didn't want to ask Nanny An to catch me yesterday..."

Da Furen was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "There is such a thing? The mansion has issued repeated orders, and they dare to do this, it is really hateful."

Then asked her who were there.

Du Rongzhi said one by one, and when it came to Mrs. Wu, Du Rongzhi changed the subject, "Daughter-in-law originally thought that although these people are hateful, they are old people in the house after all, and they have worked hard for many years. It's decent, small punishments are fine, but I don't want to—" Du Rongzhi paused, and said bitterly, "I don't want to find out a thief!"

The lady's eyelids twitched suddenly, and she hurriedly said, "But what are you short of?"

Du Rongzhi shook her head, and with red eyes he hesitated, "It's all due to my daughter-in-law's incompetence...Let this thief and mother-in-law stay under her nose for several months without noticing it, and it's harmful...caused my mother to lose a lot of things... ..."

The eldest lady had already guessed the cause and effect, and secretly hated herself for leaving something for Du Rongzhi to catch, but she could only ask, "My things? What are my things?"

Du Rongzhi choked up and said, "Daughter-in-law is ashamed... Daughter-in-law accidentally looked at their gambling funds and found that there was a mother's jade hairpin inside..." Du Rongzhi was ashamed and angry, "Daughter-in-law has ordered someone to copy it later. I went into her house... Sure enough, I found three or two pieces of jewelry one after another, all of which were worn by my mother before."

Du Rongzhi wiped away her tears, "My daughter-in-law has never experienced such a thing when she grows up, and she was frightened for a while, and she didn't know what to do. Besides, the daughter-in-law thought, no matter how courageous the mother-in-law is, is it because of her mother? It's hard to guarantee that the one who serves in front of you..." She paused, looked around, and said in a low voice, "It's hard to guarantee that there is no one around my mother who will cooperate with her inside and out."

As soon as the words came out, the faces of the eldest lady and Wei Wei behind her were not very good-looking.

"The daughter-in-law thought that this matter was of great importance, so she didn't dare to deal with it rashly. She has already ordered someone to tie her up, and she will be detained in the woodshed, waiting for her mother to deal with her at any time."

The eldest lady nodded approvingly, "My good boy, you have handled this matter very well. I have been exhausted for the past few years, and these people have been burdened by me. It is really time to take care of them. You go back first, and the rest leave things to mother."

Du Rongzhi nodded, and cried, "Mother, those women who rely on the old to sell the old, drink and gamble...the daughter-in-law doesn't dare to take it anymore." She looked at her with wet eyes, so pitiful.

The eldest lady could only nod her head and said, "Since she's from your yard, you can do what you want." Seeing that Du Rongzhi was still looking at her eagerly, she hated Du Rongzhi to death for being greedy and taking advantage of the fire, but she was pinching her As a weakness, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you see something good about someone else, you can come and tell me. If it's convenient, mother will just change it for you."

Du Rongzhi hurriedly said happily, "Daughter-in-law, thank you mother." Seeing that the matter was almost done, she wiped her red eyes with a handkerchief, "Since this is the case, daughter-in-law will go back first, and when she turns around, ask someone to take care of her." Mrs. Wu is escorted to my mother."

The eldest lady nodded, "Well...you are weak, go back and rest well."

"Yes," Du Rongzhi blessed the body respectfully, "Daughter-in-law is retiring."
