The Queen Mother's Kitchen Knife

Chapter 2 What a Disgusting Person (1)
The Duke Protector's Mansion was covered with white silk.The servants were all plain, with sad faces, and they were listless when they came and went. The sky above the entire Duke Protector's Mansion seemed to be shrouded in a cloud, lifeless.

The decorations in the mansion are messy and withered. It looks like a poor man who has been slovenly for many years.The small trees and shrubs on the side of the corridor are messy and lack of pruning, a thin layer of dust has fallen on both sides of the corridor, some of the wind chimes hanging on the edge of the eaves are already covered with rust green, and some cracked round holes can even be seen in some lanterns.Tang Jingyue was a little surprised. Everything that caught her eyes added an evocative adjective in front of the words "Duke Huguofu": heading for decline.

Her face remained unchanged, but she sighed helplessly in her heart.

The Duke Protector has a large army in his hands, and his power is becoming more and more stable, but the Duke Protector's Mansion is gradually declining.If she hadn't been reborn, only Duke Hu and the Yang family's children would be left in the current Duke Hu's mansion.What's even more absurd is that the middle supporter of Duke Huguo's mansion was handed over to Dian Shi.Then, after a hundred years from the Protector of the Country, wouldn't the dignified Duke Protector's mansion exist in name only, and become a veritable mansion of the Yang family?
"Miss?"

Tang Jingyue looked at Xia Lian.

Xia Lian was curious: "What are you thinking, Miss? This servant has called Miss many times."

Tang Jingyue shook her head.He took Xia Lian's arm and leaned slightly beside Xia Lian.She didn't know the way, so naturally she had to let Xia Lian take her talents without showing any traces.

Nanny Sun chased up from behind and followed Tang Jingyue step by step, not daring to make a sound to stop her.She hastily wrapped the scar on her hand with a white kerchief, hiding it in her sleeve so as not to attract others' attention.

Regarding Aunt Dian's order, Nanny Sun could guess some deep meaning.When the aunt passed away, the eldest daughter from the direct line was nowhere to be seen, and only the aunt and the young lady from the concubine were crying. The officials who came to express their condolences would naturally speculate more.And Aunt Dian needed this opportunity to save the Yang family's position in the Duke Huguo's Mansion.

And the fact is just as Nanny Sun imagined, Aunt Dian was crying in the mourning hall with her daughter Yang Xinnan and son Yang Fengrui, very sad.The officials who came and went to express their condolences only knew a little about the affairs of the Hua family's back house, but they didn't know that the young lady of the Hua family was on the verge of death a few days ago. talk.

Officials who have a good relationship with Duke Huguo will inevitably ask the young lady why she doesn't see anyone.

Considering his granddaughter's reputation, Hua Shixing didn't want others to know that his granddaughter wanted to commit suicide, so he simply said that Hua Rongyue was weak and unable to get off the ground.

Although this kind of explanation can be dealt with, but after all, it is a major event of the death of the biological father, and many officials' wives still shook their heads secretly.

Dian Shi's daughter, Yang Xinnan, is only half a year younger than Hua Rongyue, but she was well-versed in personnel affairs early on, and under Dian Shi's training, she is even more thoughtful.Right now, I was crying in front of my father's coffin until my heart was broken, with seven points of sincerity and three points of intention, the performance was all moving.Even Hua Shixing looked sideways, admonishing Dianshi to comfort Yang Xinnan and not to break her body from crying.

Dian nodded sadly: "My concubine tried to persuade her, but the child didn't listen. Xin Nan cried all over the past two days and couldn't walk steadily, but she said that her father had already left. It's really unfilial to cry in front of the spirit. The concubine and daughter-in-law can't hold her back."

Dian Shi had just finished speaking, and Yang Xinnan's crying sound became louder.Yang Xinke secretly pinched her five-year-old brother Yang Fengrui.Yang Fengrui also burst into tears immediately.

Hua Shixing is an old man, so he didn't hear anything from Dianshi's words, but the officials and women in the hall would naturally put Hua Rongyue and Yang Xinnan together for comparison.
