"Aunt Du, what kind of wind has brought you here? But please stay, the old lady said, no one is allowed to come in or out of Xianshu Courtyard."
Yuan'er hurriedly stepped forward and took out two dazzling silver ingots from his arms.
"Of course my aunt knows what my mother said, how dare I disobey the old lady's wishes. But after all, my aunt and the eldest lady have a close relationship, and I am really worried about her, so I shamelessly came to take a sneak peek at night. Even if the uncle knew, he would only know it. I can’t express my gratitude for my aunt’s kindness.
Besides, the old lady is a relative of the eldest lady after all, so the confinement is only a small punishment but a big punishment. Maybe she will be released tomorrow. Tonight, my aunt and she are talking through the wall, so it is not that severe. "
Two silver ingots were stuffed heavily into the hands of the two women.
The two looked at each other, silently put their hands into their sleeves, returned to the corner at the entrance to the yard, closed their eyes and pretended to take a nap.
Du Mianmian's sullen face had just softened a bit.
Yuan'er breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to knock on the door: "Miss, eldest lady, are you asleep? My aunt is here to see you."
There was a noise in the yard soon, and the door was slowly opened.
Jun Qian's small figure appeared behind the door. When she saw Du Mianmian, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Aunt, you have come to see me."
No matter how thoughtful and calculating she is, she is still an eleven-year-old girl.
Being treated coldly by relatives and locked up in confinement, one can imagine the fear and helplessness in my heart.
Now seeing her aunt who had always cared for her like a mother, she was filled with grievances.
Du Mianmian looked at her with a patient face as she clutched her newly made clothes and burst into tears. She endured it again and again before reaching out to pull it away.
He could only hold back his disgust and said: "If you hadn't gotten married, I wouldn't have known you were in solitary confinement. Why did you offend the old lady, and the uncle didn't intercede for you?"
Jun Qian cried louder, "Father, father, he has changed!"
"Changed? What do you mean?" Du Mianmian frowned!
"His heart is all focused on Shen Qingluan. My aunt said the reason why I was put in solitary confinement was because Shen Qingluan turned a deaf ear to my father and asked him to discipline me strictly!"
how so?
Why would the brother-in-law discipline Jun Qian for Shen Qingluan?
But when these words came out of Jun Qian's mouth, she couldn't help but not believe them.
What's more, just one day after she married into Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, she could already see some signs.
Jun Hongbai didn't hate Shen Qingluan as much as she thought Du did. Instead, he treated Shen Qingluan with respect mixed with flattery.
Looking back on everything that happened during the day, Du Mianmian's heart became heavier and heavier.
Jun Qian was still chattering: "This time, in order to persuade my father to let my aunt join the family, I greatly angered my grandmother. With Shen Qingluan fanning the flames, my grandmother actually took out her anger on me."
She burst into tears. Du Mianmian couldn't bear it anymore and pulled his sleeves back, "According to what you said, the entire Hou Mansion is now controlled by Shen Qingluan?"
Jun Qian nodded silently, then looked at Du Mianmian with hopeful eyes: "Fortunately, now that my aunt has married in, she can support me and my brother. Father has always been kind to you, so you have to help us."
Du Mianmian was so angry that she couldn't help but feel angry.
No wonder, no wonder Jun Hongbai didn't treat her with any care or favor. It turned out to be Jun Qian, an idiot, who made him and Mrs. Lu angry.
This pair of siblings are really smart and stupid, but they succeed more than they do!
Do you want to help them yourself?
What a fool's errand.
According to Du Mianmian's temperament, she wanted to walk away.
However, people under the eaves have to bow their heads.
This tone made her hold back hard and said in a soft voice: "I got married just for you, so naturally I want to support you.
It's just that now, Shen Qingluan is so powerful and has a firm control over the Central Government. It's really difficult to deal with him. You and I have to think of a way. "
Jun Qian sniffed heavily, "What does aunt say?"
Du Mianmian felt disgusted in her heart, but she still endured it and said: "Tomorrow I will ask my mother to come into the house to see me and find an excuse to release you.
After you come out, don't make the old lady and your father angry anymore, and Shen Qingluan, stay close to her. "
Someone gave her an idea. Jun Qian slowly calmed down and nodded obediently.
Du Mianmian felt a little more at ease, and pulled her away from the ears of the two wives: "When I return to my old love for you, you can take the opportunity to ask me to take care of Shen Qingluan's house."
"How is this possible?" Jun Qian couldn't believe it. "How can there be a person in the world who doesn't let the mistress take care of the house, but lets the concubine take care of things?"
Du Mianmian's face froze, and there was a trace of embarrassment in her eyes, but she quickly put it away.
She lowered her voice: "This matter is naturally difficult. But what if Shen Qingluan, the manager, gets into trouble?"
Or, how about simply making her sick and unable to take care of things?
She didn't say the latter point.
Jun Qian was thoughtful.
Du Mianmian took off his cloak and put it on her body, interrupting her thoughts, "Well, children don't have to think about this much.
You only need to know that now that I have married into the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, I will naturally plan everything for you and your brother. I will plan this matter, you just need to cooperate with me. "
A warm hand stroked Jun Qian's chin. Jun Qian finally couldn't hold back the frightening pressure she had been feeling for the past few days. She couldn't help but throw herself into Du Mianmian's arms and cry:
"I listen to you. Great aunt, you are finally here. I have been looking forward to it for so long."
A flash of irritation flashed across Du Mianmian's face when her furry hair was scratched.
This dead hoof is of no use at all. Just knowing that I cried is really a waste of Jun’s rice!
She patiently persuaded Jun Qian again, and then quietly returned to the courtyard.
The next day, Du Mianmian spent money early in the morning to order a plate of meat porridge from the kitchen, poured it into a sea-green glass bowl, put it in a basket and carried it to Qingzhuyuan.
"uncle."
Jun Hongbai was being dressed by his servants. He turned his head and saw Du Mianmian standing at the door dressed in apricot clothes.
She wears a long tasseled bun, a plain silver hairpin, and a plum blossom flower on her forehead, which makes her look solitary, weak and boneless.
Jun Hongbai took two steps toward the door in a daze, "Ms. Wen..."
so similar.
Du Mianmian smiled proudly in her heart, lifted her skirt and walked up to Jun Hongbai: "Can I have breakfast, sir?"
She took out the meat porridge, scooped it into a small bowl with a porcelain spoon, and brought it to the tip of Jun Hongbai's nose. In an instant, she aroused the greed in his belly.
This was Wen Niang’s favorite porridge during her lifetime.
Jun Hongbai stretched out his hand as if he was attracted, and took the bowl of porridge into Du Mianmian's hand.
Changdong left the house with a stiff face and closed the door.
Walking to the courtyard, he raised his hand to summon a servant, "Go to Shen's Mansion and ask when Madam will be back. She said that Aunt Du is not restless."
He has stayed with Jun Hongbai for so long, so he is certainly not stupid.
He saw that Du Mianmian's ambition was offensive to Shen Qingluan, and that Shen Qingluan was not willing to spoil Du Mianmian at all.
If it had been in the past, he would have been extremely happy to see it.
Now...
Shen Qingluan was having breakfast with the Shen family when he heard the words coming from the servants of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Who told you this?" Mother Shen asked, turning her head.
Shen Qingluan shook his head, "I don't know."
She put down her chopsticks and casually wiped the corners of her mouth with her handkerchief, "There are only a few people in the house, either this one or that one."
Mother Shen's face showed worry: "It sounds like the Du family is not easy to get along with."
Shen Qingluan stood up and Shi Shiran smiled, "Don't worry, mother, I know the difficulties of the Du family better than anyone else."
Although she looked relaxed, Mother Shen felt worried for no reason.
You have to suffer a lot to be able to say this so calmly.
It was Shen Shu who said coldly: "What's so difficult? Businessmen value profits. Once they know that my Shen family is someone he can't afford to offend with all his strength, he will naturally understand the importance of it."
Recalling the Jun family's contempt for their daughter in the past, Shen Shu's face turned cold, "In the past, when my father was ill, he could only watch the Jun family bully you. If I had known he was so shameless, I would rather take my life than let you. Marry into your family.
But no matter what, you can't look back on the past. I'm fine now, and I will never let the Jun family bully you in the future. When the time comes in the future, I will make the Du family and Jun family understand the consequences of provoking you. "
Hearing this, Shen Qingluan smiled.
Shen Shu passed the national examination at a young age and was the most famous person in the Shen family.
In his previous life, he had great talent but his official career was still hopeless due to physical constraints.
In this life, thanks to the generous help of Censor Luo and Brother Sui An, he is gradually getting well.
As long as there is a chance in the future, under the recommendation of the entire Shen family, he will rise like a dragon into the abyss and rise to great heights.
With such a family behind her, why should she be afraid and hesitant?
"Thank you for your concern, father. It's just a matter of the Du family. I already have a charter in my heart."
Nowadays, it is rare for couples to reconcile and separate. No matter how bad a man is, it is just a matter of the house.
Most women just hold back their anger and swallow the bitter pill.
No matter how miserable your life is, if you hang yourself with a piece of white silk for a moment, it will only add a touch of dead soul.
After all, a woman's life is not as important as a man's face and the family's reputation.
If Shen Qingluan wants to reconcile, there is only one way, and that is to seize the fatal pain and scandal of the Jun family and cut ties with Zhenyuan Hou Mansion with an impeccable and perfect attitude.
However, it is no exaggeration to say that this matter is as difficult as climbing to heaven.
Because the Marquis of Zhenyuan had great military exploits, how could he allow a woman to bring discredit to the Marquis's family?
Shen Qingluan thought about it over and over again, and found out that the only flaw he could find was from the Du family.
In this case, she has to make the relationship between the Du family and the Jun family closer...
Shen Qingluan stayed in the Shen family for three full days. It wasn't until someone from the Shen family sent someone to hint that this was inappropriate that Shen Qingluan ordered someone to hitch a carriage back to Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.
Three days is enough for that bunch of idiots to figure out how to become a monster.
As soon as she entered Hanguang Courtyard, Du Mianmian came with Jun Yuan behind her.
"Madam, this trip is really long. I hope I can wait."
Shen Qingluan smiled softly: "Why, you can't live this long?"
Du Mianmian was so choked up that her throat was choked, and the graceful aura she had deliberately put on was gone in an instant.
Shen Qingluan was still looking concerned, which made Du Mianmian unable to express her anger.
Jun Yuan looked at Du Mianmian worriedly, but did not speak for her. He just looked at Shen Qingluan hopefully: "As you promised, you will draw a portrait of my mother in three days."
Shen Qingluan raised her chin at Cuicui, "Give it to the young master."
Jun Yuan's eyes lit up!
