Madam Du was furious, and before her sharp roar could spread, Nanny Feng stepped forward quickly.
"Ma'am, I'll call for someone right away..."
But before the words could be finished, a voice as clear and clear as a cold spring in winter suddenly came leisurely from the inner room with the curtains lowered.
"Sister-in-law Lao came here specially to visit. Qinghe was not able to greet her due to physical discomfort, so she asked her to move to the inner room to talk."
The light tone and strong but distant attitude made the Duke's wife's cheeks burn hot in an instant.
But the next moment, Du Shi's embarrassment was replaced by even higher anger.
Sure enough, no matter what time, what she hates the most is Qinghe!
As if nothing happened, calmly and calmly.
Who does she think she is? The Nine Heavens Profound Girl who descended to earth? !
Although she is obviously incomparable to her in every aspect, she always looks carefree and relaxed, with an attitude of not taking anyone or anything seriously.
But unfortunately, the other party can still get protection and excuse from all parties. Not only does she cover up for her, but she also takes the initiative to make excuses for her!
If she hadn't been born into the royal family, and inexplicably gained the favor and protection of the current emperor, how could her parents-in-law and other people in the Duke's palace be so arrogant if they weren't afraid of this? Even I had to give in to this sick man.
But, haha...
Du Shi secretly grinded her teeth in hatred, but in an instant she raised the corners of her lips and sneered.
When Grandma Zhou was holding the candlestick to lead the way, she even raised her chin proudly and walked inwards. She didn't ridicule Qinghe's eldest princess or make trouble like before.
Not only did he not say a single unnecessary word, but his foot speed was two points faster than the anxious Aunt Zhou.
If nothing else, Mrs. Zhen Guo at this moment really looks like a good sister-in-law who is worried and considerate of her younger siblings.
And when Grandma Zhou noticed this, the sweat on her forehead started to break out even faster.
What can we do?
Du Shi must have come prepared, but she was unable to do anything at this time!
But the inner room is only such a big place. Even if Grandma Zhou wants to delay for a while, she will reach it in the blink of an eye.
What's more, the Duke's wife left so fast.
Nanny Feng followed behind the two of them. Although she followed step by step, her eyes were gleaming with excitement. It's like a hungry wolf smelling fresh prey just a stone's throw away.
The last gauze curtain was lifted, and in the dull and dark bedroom, only a glass lamp emitted a faint light on the small table beside the bed.
At this time, the owner of the bedroom was sitting on the bed, looking at the aggressive and uninvited visitor.
"Sister-in-law."
Princess Qinghe and the Duke's wife looked at each other for a moment, but did not stand up. They only nodded slightly to each other and said lightly:
"sit."
Du Shi, who has been admired by many stars since she was a child, was only treated like this and suppressed like this by Princess Qinghe.
But the other party had already said that she was not feeling well as an excuse. As a sister-in-law, what else could she say? !
But it doesn't matter. If the other party is so arrogant, it can only last until today and this moment. She doesn't have to worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future!
After Du persuaded herself three or four times in her heart, she suppressed the anger in her heart and stepped forward.
But she did not follow the instructions of Qing and the eldest princess and sit on the chair under the Linghua window. Instead, he stood in front of Princess Qinghe's bed and raised his hand lightly.
Aunt Feng understood it immediately without the other party opening her mouth. After quickly moving a chair to Du Shi's side, he immediately whispered in a respectful tone:
"Madam, please sit down."
Qing and the eldest princess raised their eyes slightly, then found a more comfortable position, leaned on the pillow behind them, and asked lightly:
"Sister-in-law, besides visiting Qinghe, do you have other important things to do here?"
Hearing this, Du Shi raised the corners of her mouth happily, when Princess Qinghe, whose eyes were half-closed to rest, spoke again:
"If there's nothing urgent, I'm not in good spirits, and I'm afraid I'll neglect the visitors. Sister-in-law, if you don't like me, I'll go back now."
In one sentence, Du Shi almost choked.
"you you……"
Du Shi remembered what Mrs. Tai had repeatedly told her before she went out, and she immediately stopped what she was about to say.
After taking several deep breaths, she calmed down the anger in her heart, and managed to sneer in a calm tone:
"What kind of foreign language are you talking about, brother and sister? We are all a family, how can I be considered a foreigner?"
After talking about the scene, Du Shi immediately turned to the topic.
"Besides, besides visiting my siblings, I do have something important to tell you."
After hearing this, Princess Qinghe finally raised her eyes, looked at Du Shi and waited for her next words.
Seeing this, Mrs. Du sneered disdainfully in her heart before continuing:
"My wife asked me to bring you a message when I come to visit you. 'I will pack up recently and move back to the Duke's Mansion to raise the baby.'"
In order to let the eldest princess Qinghe clearly understand the Mrs. Tai's thoughts, Du even imitated 70% to 80% of the tone and demeanor of the Mrs. Tai.
Cold, full of majesty and a statement that cannot be refused or violated.
In the great Zhou Dynasty, where filial piety governs the world, there is no order that is more difficult for a daughter-in-law to disobey than the orders of her elders, or more accurately, her mother-in-law.
This is true even for Princess Qinghe, who is from a royal family.
It can even be said that precisely because she is the eldest princess of Qinghe, and because she cannot bring shame on the face of the Holy Emperor who is currently protecting her, she must show obedience and respect to the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo who is her mother-in-law.
And as long as the eldest princess Qinghe moves into the Zhenguo Palace, from the moment she steps on the threshold, she will fall into her hands and be at her disposal!
At the thought of this, Mrs. Du was so happy that she couldn't hide her excitement. Her face was rosy and her eyes were twinkling as she said:
"Brothers and sisters, don't worry. I, the eldest sister-in-law, will take care of everything in the house. You can just worry about raising the baby and don't worry about any chores."
"By the way, in order to take care of you, Mrs. Tai has even decided to teach Princess Danyang for you. As for the matter of the Princess Mansion, you don't have to worry about it. Just leave it to Aunt Feng, who is praised by Mrs. Tai."
"If you're not at ease, just keep all the aunties and maids around you. Anyway, there are many servants in the house, and then my sister-in-law will arrange for you to have appropriate people to take care of all the trivial matters."
Du Shi said all these words happily without even taking a breath.
His cheerful expression and enthusiastic attitude really make him look like a hospitable person.
Hearing this, Princess Qinghe only lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment before she asked again:
"All of this is arranged by the Madam?"
Du Shi replied without hesitation:
"That's natural! Tsk, the eldest princess is so lucky to have such a good mother-in-law who thinks about you and treats you as her own."
Princess Qinghe pursed her lips for a moment, frowned and said:
"Indeed, this is my blessing. But Qinghe, quiet and frail..."
Du Shi didn't wait for Qing He and the eldest princess to finish speaking, and interrupted with a sneer:
"Eldest Princess, please don't refuse. The Madam already knows that soldiers broke into the Princess's mansion yesterday to search, and the princess's outrageous words and deeds. Fortunately, there is no big trouble now. Why do you bother when everyone is looking good like this? Are you going to force the madam?"
If there was any point, Qing and the eldest princess immediately closed their lips.
Seeing this, Mrs. Du immediately struck while the iron was hot:
"Then it's settled. In my opinion, your body and the child in your belly are the most important, and there is no shortage of things in the house over there. It just so happens that I have enough people at the moment, why don't the eldest princess just follow me? Let’s go back to the house together. I don’t know if Madam Tai will be even happier when she sees her. My brother and sister, tell me, right?”
Upon hearing this, Princess Qing and her eldest daughter just lowered their heads and had no special reaction.
Grandma Zhou's eyes were red with anxiety. She wanted to speak but couldn't find any reason to stop her. She was so anxious that she almost cried.
Du Shi and Nanny Feng's faces were flushed with excitement, as if they just wanted to give an order and have someone carry Princess Qing and Princess away.
After a moment of silence, just when Princess Qinghe was about to nod slightly, a sound as clear as a mountain spring came from behind them like a sharp sword.
"Oh? When did auntie come to visit? Why didn't you send someone to call me?"
