peasant girl allure

Chapter 526
Xiao'er and Shangguan Wanru separated after having dinner at Four Seasons Restaurant.

Jing Rui also had dinner here with his classmates today, and the two siblings happened to go home together after the meal.

The carriage walked slowly on the bluestone slab.

Xiaoer remembered that the water pipeline diagram of the hot spring resort had been drawn, so she said to Jingrui, "Brother, go home first, I'll go to the Du Mansion."

"I'll go with you! Just in time to visit Brother Du."

Xiao'er didn't say anything after hearing this.

The carriage soon arrived outside the gate of Du's mansion. There were only two entrances to Du's mansion. The red knees of the gate had already fallen off. The gate looked a bit rundown, but it could still see the glory of the past.For the imperial capital with every inch of gold and land, the Du Mansion occupies a large area, at least with a modest garden.

Just as Yang Liu jumped out of the carriage and was about to knock on the door, the side door opened, and Du Yijin ran out with red eyes.

"Miss Du." Yang Liu saluted at the right time.

Du Yijin heard someone calling her, and saw a familiar carriage parked outside her house, she was taken aback for a moment, and recognized Xiao'er's carriage.

She hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes: "County Lord Rui'an is here to look for me?"

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao'er said to Du Yijin, "If Miss Du doesn't mind, please get on the carriage and talk."

Jing Rui consciously got off the carriage, as if he didn't see Du Yijin's red eyes, and gave Du Yijin a peer salute: "Miss Du, is your brother there?"

"Brother went to Langwen's study to read."

"Then I'll go to the study to find him." Longwen's study is on the nearby street, and it's not far to walk there.

Jing Rui said goodbye to the two of them and walked away.

Xiao'er invited Du Yijin to get on the carriage again.

Although Du Yijin didn't want to see anyone now, but she knew that Xiao'er would not look for her for no reason, so she nodded.

The carriage drove directly into the second gate of the Shengpinghou Mansion before stopping.

Xiao'er led Du Yijin back to her yard, and the maid served juice and some snacks before Xiao'er asked, "What's wrong with Miss Du?"

If her brother's illness or financial problems, she can help.

The grievance in Du Yijin's heart really has no place to complain, and now someone asks about it, and she can't help but say it: "Mother wants to marry me to her natal nephew."

Is Du Yijin's natal nephew the son of that gambling brother?

"Your stepmother's natal nephew will not be as virtuous as his father, right?" Isn't this putting a flower on the cow dung?
Du Yijin nodded.

"Doesn't Master Du have any objections?" Didn't Master Du treat the pair of children left by the original spouse very well?
"My father probably doesn't know about it yet. I only found out about it when I overheard what she and my aunt had said." Du Yijin shook her head.

She also heard this all of a sudden, and couldn't accept it for a while, so she ran out crying.

"As long as your father is not willing to do this, your stepmother should not be able to do so."

Although it is said that every stepmother must have a stepfather, Master Du should not be happy to see his daughter jump into the fire pit!

Du Yijin nodded: "I will definitely not marry that gambler second generation ancestor!" Even if it is death!
Xiao'er knew that she had an idea, so she didn't say anything more. She showed the layout of the water pipes to her.

After all, it was going to be leaked from her family's Zhuangzi, and she still had to get her consent.

Du Yijin took it over and looked at it. Xiao'er was worried that she might not understand, so she explained it to her.

Seeing that it had little effect on the crops of her family's Zhuangzi, Du Yijin nodded.

After reading the drawings, Xiao'er took Du Yijin to look at the pond in her garden.

"The lotus roots in your family grow better than the ones in my Zhuangzi."

"My family has been planting it for several years, and the buds have grown. Yours is sown, so it is incomparable. Ms. Du will go back after eating. Let's go fishing, and the fish we catch will be used for today's cooking." Late dish."

Du Yijin didn't want to go back so early, so she nodded.

After dinner, Xiao'er sent a carriage to take Du Yijin back to Du's residence.

The ground-breaking ceremony of the hot spring resort began the day after tomorrow. Xiaoer invited Du Yijin to go with her, and Du Yijin readily agreed.

After getting along for a dinner, Liu's affection for this girl Du Yijin continued to rise.

After they left, Mrs. Liu took Xiao'er's hand and asked, "Xiao'er, what do you think of Ms. Du?"

"Ms. Du is very nice, and my mother doesn't even think about it. If I think she is not good, can I cooperate with her and even invite her to the mansion as a guest?"

"Then what do you think of her as your sister-in-law?"

As soon as Liu's words came out, Liu Lin's, Tan's, Xiao'er, and Yun'er all looked at her.

"What's wrong? Isn't it good?" Seeing that everyone looked at her and said nothing, Mrs. Liu asked with some uncertainty.

"Ms. Du is a good girl, but with such a family, troubles continue." Tan said her thoughts.

She also heard Mrs. Liu talk about the bad things about the Du family.

"I'm afraid there will be more troubles in the future." Liu Linshi also shook his head when he thought of Liu Minhong's half-brother.

Liu also thought of her half-brother.

Although it was said that Du Yijin's family did not have gamblers, the stepmother who couldn't stand her was hard to figure out. Just look at Du's family being dragged down forcibly.

If Du Yijin married and helped her natal family in the same way, then Jingrui would have to raise two more families. It would be a bottomless pit of bets, no matter how rich the family fortune could be, it would be wiped out overnight. Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu shuddered : "That still counts."

"That's not a problem. It's not bad for Ms. Du to be my sister-in-law, but I don't know if my elder brother likes it! After all, it's the elder brother who wants to marry a wife, and it's the elder brother who wants to spend the rest of his life with her. I have to ask my elder brother for his opinion on this matter. "

"Of course. It's just that Xiao'er, you don't worry about Miss Du's stepmother's natal family."

"What does the stepmother's natal family care about Ms. Du? Who stipulates that a married woman must take care of the stepmother's natal family? There is no such reason for this matter!"

"That's the reason, but some people in this world are unreasonable!" Mrs. Liu shook her head.

"Then let's talk about fists! If my family doesn't want to, he can still do it sideways!" Xiao'er said indifferently.

Then Xiao'er told about Du Yijin's stepmother wanting to marry her to her natal nephew.

"Isn't this pushing Miss Du into the fire pit?" Sure enough, it was the stepmother!This is not something my mother can do!Liu thought.

"It's so deceiving!" Tan said angrily.

"That kid from the Du family is also poor." Liu Lin sighed.

But although they pitied her, they really couldn't help her in this matter.

Mrs. Liu has been helping Jingrui to look out for a suitable daughter-in-law, and Xiao'er thinks that Du Yijin is actually quite suitable.

Jingrui is the eldest son, and he will inherit the title in the future. Du Yijin's mother left since she was a child, and her stepmother made Du's house a mess. Her life was turbulent. Didn't she make it through?

In this day and age, for a woman to be able to do this for her elder brother to study, and to treat her younger brother's illness, that's pretty cool!
