The Duke’s wife is beautiful but has a dark heart

"pregnant?"

Wen Yu was very surprised.

Qi Wu didn't take it seriously and sent her to the second door: "You go to the mother's courtyard first and tell her. I have something to do ahead of time and I have to be busy."

Wen Yu nodded in response.

Qi Wu looked at her, turned around and left: "Mu Bo!"

Mubo followed in stride.

When Wen Yu went there, Mrs. Qi was painting leisurely.

Wen Yu looked at it and smiled to herself. She really didn't care about Mrs. Xu anymore.

"Mother."

Mrs. Qi put down her pen and said with a smile: "Ayu is back? How is it?"

"It went very well. His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess, the grandson and the concubine are all here. His Royal Highness the prince gave a jade sculpture, it's so beautiful. After the conversation, I asked my wife to go behind with Pingting."

"His Royal Highness, your magnanimity is extraordinary and admirable!"

"Yes. The Crown Princess doesn't talk much, but she doesn't put on airs either."

"We also met the Crown Princess when she was in the boudoir. She is a very smart woman. When she married the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince was just a prince who was in poor health. Although the Emperor loves him the most, he has no power and power. She has no future. She married in, took care of the prince in a down-to-earth manner, and the husband and wife played the piano and played the piano in harmony. It was really not easy..." Mrs. Qi paused, and then said: "The prince at that time was the legitimate son of the emperor's original wife."

There was no one around in the room, so Mrs. Qi whispered to Wen Yu. "Something happened later."

"I know this. My uncle's family was implicated because of this!"

"Actually, it's just bad luck. Once it's over, it won't be a big deal anymore, do you understand?"

"Yes, I won't pursue it any further."

"That man had a lot of thoughts! Then he appointed the current crown prince. There were rumors at the time that the emperor actually liked Prince Xiang. He didn't appoint him directly because he was worried that he would be as powerful as the previous crown prince. However, one day back in Qiu Lie, Prince Xiang has disappeared inexplicably!”

"Missing? A prince will disappear?" Wen Yu knew for the first time.

"Hmm. Isn't it strange?! That year, Xiaowu was only twelve years old. He happened to return to Beijing and went to participate in the autumn hunting. That time, he was the only one who went to the Qi family. He was young and didn't recognize anyone, so he didn't Check him. But everyone else has been checked several times! But no news was found.

Perhaps because of this, the emperor slowly delegated power to the East Palace. His Royal Highness, although his health has been good and bad, he has still been able to sit still for so many years. Now I just hope that the prince can accompany his grandson for a while longer..."

"My grandson's temper is a bit awkward. Every time he sees me, he looks very angry!" Wen Yu was unhappy.

Mrs. Qi laughed and said, "No. He may just want to show off his dignity. You are a little girl, how could he treat you like that?!"

"Oh." Wen Yu understood.

……

After coming out of "Youziyouwei", the cook hurriedly entered Yuan's house.

"Madam!"

Wen Xianggui, who was in the room, quickly asked: "How is it?"

"Back to Grandma, I went to the shop. While waiting for Yan Zhu to come, I asked around. There are six cooks in the shop now, three are main cooks and three are auxiliary. The most important thing in the shop is Several kinds of snacks are prepared by Yan Zhu."

Wen Xianggui nodded.

"Later, Yan Zhu said that she wanted to test the slave's skills. The slave did a few things, and it seemed that she was quite satisfied. But...she didn't say anything, and just asked the slave to wait for news. She also asked the slave to leave her home address. Down.

The slave did not expect this to happen at the time, and was confused for a while. Then she told the story of Aunt Xi’s family..."

"Trash!" Wen Xianggui scolded her. In fact, she didn't expect... "How about... you go to Auntie Xi's place to stay for a few days?"

"Yes. We'll move there in a moment."

This cook's name is Zijuan, and she is Wen Xianggui's personal maid. He was very dexterous, and after getting married, he worked in Wen's shop. Be regarded as the most loyal main force.

In fact, there are many dim sum shops in the capital doing good business. But Wen didn't know why, so she focused on Yan Zhu.

After going to the store a few times, I found that I particularly disliked Yan Zhu!

In the store, the snacks that sell well are out of stock!

People come to buy it, but you don’t do it here!

What is this thing called?

There is no care at all in co-writing!

It seemed like she succeeded so casually! When people patronize her business, it depends on her mood!

Would you say it's annoying? !

Then I thought about how I had been thinking hard all day long, trying in every possible way, and learning from everywhere... but she was so easily suppressed!

Feeling unwilling and dissatisfied, I frowned, and my plan came to my mind.

She asked Zijuan to apply for a job in that shop. One of them was stealing skills from her, and the other one... It was not easy to learn from her, but it was not difficult to destroy her!

Throw away a hair, a piece of nail... If you don't want it anymore, huh! A handful of croton flour is enough!

...This is really a ruthless person who dares to think and act.

Unexpectedly, the store actually asked where the hired cook lived. Was he going to check it out?

"You go and stay at her house first. If there is no news after staying for a few days...then think of something else!"

"Yes." Zijuan walked out, walked a few steps, and then stopped, "Madam..."

"What else is going on?"

"Is that jade pendant you always wear still there?"

"Here you are!" Wen Xianggui took a box from the cabinet next to him. "what?"

"Today, when Yan Zhu bent down, the jade pendant she was wearing slipped out of her neck. The servant was shocked when she saw it. She thought it was your jade pendant that was lost!" "How could I lose mine?" Wen took out His own jade pendant, "And how could she have such a thing? You got it wrong!"

"Madam, your jade pendant has been collected by my slaves for more than ten years. How can I get it wrong!? It's really exactly the same! You can't see the words on the back, but the jade color and the pattern on the front are the same!"

"How is this possible? My grandmother gave this to my mother, and later my mother gave it to me. It is an heirloom of the Wen family! What kind of thing is Yan Zhu, and she deserves it!?"

"Grandma, why don't you go back and ask the old lady? I swear, it's definitely the same!"

……

Behind the scenes, Mrs. Tan was talking to Mrs. Liu.

Ms. Liu respected her mother-in-law very much and reported the important things at hand.

Mrs. Tan expressed satisfaction with this daughter-in-law's gesture.

At this time, the girl came in and said, "Old madam, the fifth master and the fifth grandma are back. The fifth grandma went to the first lady's place."

Tan's face sank slightly. Mrs. Liu didn't say anything either.

After a while, Mrs. Tan asked, "Have you read the previous account?"

"I only looked at two months of last year's accounts and one year's expenses. My wife doesn't want to deal with these things, so she hasn't finished reading them yet!"

"It's not necessary to read them all. Just have a rough figure for each month. Then compare it with your housekeeping expenses. You will know at a glance how greedy that person is."

"Yes."

Mrs. Tan reminded her again: "Actually, no matter who manages the house, these things are inevitable. If you ignore it, it will be fine, but if you pick it out, it will be a problem! If you are aware of it now, it may be useful in the future. You are not short of money. Make it beautiful.”

"My daughter-in-law understands." Mrs. Liu's face was expressionless, but she was not happy that her mother-in-law understood it so clearly. I still don’t know how long I will be in charge of it? Will you be greedy for that little money?

You look down on people too much!

"Xiao Wu and Dong Gong are very close..." Tan sighed.

"Mom, don't worry, my father-in-law is sure of this matter."

"I hope so! I have been separated from Youduan mother and son for so long... and your family has been living in the wind and dirt. If you don't get this benefit anymore... won't all those sins be in vain?"

"Yes. That's why Yue'er doesn't like Xiao Wu. They are both descendants of the Qi family, what kind of life do they live like?"

"Isn't it?! The person Xiao Wu married is not pleasing to the eye!" Ms. Tan felt extremely sad.

"A troublemaker to the family!" Madam Liu was really worried about her son, Qi Yue was a man of his word and a ruthless person. Sometimes, you just have to do things without caring!

If it really causes trouble, it won't be at the station...

But she didn't dare to tell the old lady, she just sighed in her heart, it would be better if she didn't bring him back.

……

Wen Yu went back to the house to change clothes and drink tea to take a breather.

I thought that I have been really busy these past few days, but I don’t know what I have been busy with.

"Grandma, Zhang Cai and his wife want to see you!"

"Hey! I really forgot to see them, please come in!"

Zhang Cai came in with his wife and children and knelt on the ground.

"Get up! I've been busy these days, but I forgot about meeting you."

"We also know that grandma is busy!" Zhang Cai and his wife smiled with smiles on their faces. "I'm just afraid it will affect you!"

"Don't be polite, everyone! My mother and husband both say that your family is careful and loyal. Let's do this. If you don't have any big problems, you will be doing whatever you did before. I'll do the math again when I have more time."

"Yes! Grandma, this... is the fifth master's private account..." The Zhang Cai family held the account book and felt guilty. There are several volumes that look quite thick...

In fact, there is nothing left in it.

There was a bitterness in her smile. If grandma saw that Fifth Master was so poor, could she believe him?

If you don't believe it, the moment she met the madam... her secret was exposed...

I really don’t know what kind of chaos it will be!

"Put it here, I'll look back later. If I don't understand anything, I'll ask you again!" In fact, Wen Yu didn't really care about this.

Her mother-in-law was so generous to her. Just to decorate this room, she took out many famous paintings and antiques. What's more, there is a shop!

Besides, she herself is not short of money.

The husband has just started working, and the private property in his hand is nothing more than monthly money and rewards from his elders. How much can he have?

"Yes." The Zhang Cai family quickly put it down...

"Xiao Xiang, let them take the gifts you prepared back home!"

Zhang Cai's family took a look and saw big and small bags, as well as silver coins. It seems that grandma has been prepared for it. It’s so embarrassing!

The whole family left with a lot of gratitude.

Wen Yu asked Qinghe to put away the account book, holding his chin and thinking about Webster.

Welcome the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year!

I hope the God of Wealth will bless you all!
