C67 (1/2)

Actually, Lady Xue's heart wished that she could chase out the Second House and the rest of the family with wooden sticks, but she could only bear with it due to filial piety. Now, she even wanted to make her son endure even more, so she could not bear it any longer.

Xue Ning Yun personally sent them to the door, then entered the room and couldn't lie down.

When night came, the main house was bustling with noise and excitement. Xue Chaoyun greeted her and stood there like a gentleman. Lady Xue couldn't bear to see her son standing in her house, so she said, ”Big bro went out for a day. Let's go back and rest early.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it. As expected, the Second Madam didn't even stop her words.

”That's right, let's go back as soon as possible. This child has had a difficult life since childhood, and was weak since childhood. Although we can't see much since he's grown up, his family is all proper relatives now. We shouldn't rush back after we've met …”

She said that her son was too weak when he was young, and she didn't let down her heart. It wasn't because her daughter-in-law or her grandson or granddaughter framed her, so how could she make that girl so weak?

To be able to tell now, it actually meant that his foundation was still not good enough! He opened his mouth to refute, but then suddenly heard Xue Qianyun's voice.

”Mother, I visited Aunt Xiao Hui's wife a few days ago and have already invited her to our courtyard for summer vacation. I just didn't expect that the Second Madam would also come to stay here … What should I do now?”

”Cousin was willing to come to our house. This is a good thing, so I'll clean up the courtyard right now.”

Xue Xianyun shook his head slightly, ”My aunt's first name is extraordinary. She doesn't have a proper wife, so she's just disrespectful to this old man! I think I'll go back and say something. ”

He said this and there was a moment of silence in the room, but he didn't care and only said to Lady Xue, ”Mother, your son's Mister Meng is now the Imperial Tutor. I've heard that he has come too, and your son is going to deliver his greetings tomorrow. He'll take his leave first.”

”I'll go with you. Aiya, you're a junior at your aunt's place. If you explain it to her, it would seem disrespectful to our family. It would be better if I sent a letter, which you … Your mother hasn't seen your aunt for years, so it's no wonder your aunt didn't come out. When she came out, she was saluted everywhere … ”

He ignored the Second Madam's family and walked away.

That night, Xue Duanjing came back and saw that his wife wasn't in a good mood. ”What's wrong with you now?”

As he finished speaking, he was annoyed with himself. His wife had been so bored by him these two days, so he asked her this question again. It was his fault, too. He relaxed in Shang Lin Garden and didn't want to use his brain anymore.

Lady Xue wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said in a low voice, ”Today, when Sis mentioned Cousin Zhao, I thought of Sis Zhao and felt a bit sad for a moment.”

Xue Zhengjing was relieved and comforted, ”She's good, and she might have already given herself a good pregnancy to save the princess. ”I heard that today, the princess personally led people to find the first daughter of the duke. It's a pity that we don't have a daughter, but my granddaughter is too young. It'd be great if she could get her eyes on the princess …”

Du Su's family actually had a salary, but for all these years, their salary was rather low. So the neighbors didn't know that the next door was occupied by a top-notch lady.

Although Eldest Brother Du didn't have to continue slaughtering pigs, his fame was still great. From time to time, someone would ask him for a knife. Just this amount of money was enough for him to support his family.

”We don't lack money, and we bros don't like studying …” Eldest Brother Du muttered.

Du Su was fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan. Upon hearing this, he was immediately fanned several times by the fan.

”Are you going to force them to do something like this instead of studying? At such a young age, do you want to take them to kill pigs?” The two children will be engaged in a few more years. Oh, let's go out and talk about it. At least an Elementary Scholar before the age of fifteen?

”If you still can't recite well after the age of fifteen, you can go and learn a trade. It's not good to slaughter pigs with you anyway, I have to choose two good wives.”

After receiving such a quick beating, Big Brother Du wasn't angered. Instead, he laughed. ”What's wrong with killing pigs? I feel that the wife I'm marrying isn't bad, and the children are also good!”

Wei Qi and Wei Zhen were writing on the stone table with their heads down. The two brothers were laughing in secret. When Mother came back, there was a different feeling in the house. Otherwise, the three of them would not have been able to feel any better at home.

Although Eldest Brother Du was a pig slaughterer, his personality was still quite good. It could be said that the Du Family had taught him well, that his wife and husband had truly grown up to be ordinary. No, actually, they were below average.

If Wei Zhao hadn't admitted it himself, Xue Qianyun felt that he might not have been able to recognize her at first glance, but after he did, he felt that it was a bit similar, especially when he was crying. His face was helpless, his eyes were red, and no matter how old he was, it made his heart ache.

Last night, he accidentally walked into the wrong courtyard. Just as he was about to turn around and hear the blurry word ”Grand Lady”, he heard that word for the first time in his life.

When he found out that someone was scheming against her, he was so angry that blood rushed to his head. He wanted to tell her about it, but he held himself back when he reached the door.

For one thing, he didn't think that it would work. She had a good guard by her side, and he was the only one who had listened to her words. If she didn't do anything, then she would have no proof.
