Chapter 38 Inquiry
Xiao Huaisu's heart moved, and he looked at Du Yanyun's inquisitive expression again, and whispered in Du Yanyu's ear: "Third cousin, if we go alone, I'm afraid it won't work, grandma and eldest aunt will definitely not allow it," he said intentionally Pointingly glanced at Du Yanyun's side, "But if we can convince our second cousin and have her talk in front of my grandmother, no one will stop us."

Du Yanyu's eyes lit up, and she immediately patted her chest to reassure, "Second Sister loves me the most, and this matter is on my shoulders."

Turning around a corridor, not far away is a row of green brick and tile houses. The wind beasts carved on the corners of the eaves are quite old, and they look a little simple, but the temple is not a place that pays attention to luxury.

Mrs. Du and her party must be used to coming here, they followed the little novice without squinting.

Instead, when passing by a row of wing rooms, she heard faint weeping from inside, Mrs. Du paused slightly, "What's going on?"

The little novice glanced back quickly, then scanned the door plate of one of the wing rooms, and then replied respectfully: "Bo Hui Enbo is the old lady of the Dong family and the fourth lady of the second room of the Dong family."

"The Dong family?"

Mrs. Du frowned slightly invisibly.

The Wang family also quickly realized that the ex-husband of the Gaoyi County Lord is Dong Ran, the second son of Hui Enbo's Dong family, and the fourth lady of the second room is not Dong Yan, the daughter of the Gaoyi County Lord?
This is really a narrow road for enemies!

Strictly speaking, the Dong family has no friendship with their Du family, but getting involved with the Gaoyi County Lord will inevitably make people feel a little unhappy, not to mention the crying sound inside sounds like a little girl. I'm afraid it must be Dong Yan.

The little novice is used to being greeted and sent off, what a fine person, I must have heard about the marriage of the Gaoyi county lord to the third master Xiao of the Marquis of Changxing a few years ago, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Huaisu, this is the third master Xiao's direct relative My daughter, it's really interesting to meet people from the Dong family here.

Thinking of the current situation of the Dong family, I couldn't help but say something more in front of Mrs. Du, "I heard that Mrs. Dong is here to invite the tablet of the second master of the Dong family this time, and she said that she will send it to Lanling Xiao with the fourth lady. Go home to offer..."

When Mrs. Du heard the words, the expression in her eyes changed, and her complexion turned pale.

Even Mrs. Wang had a smile on her lips. Mrs. Dong is really interesting. Presumably she is also dissatisfied with the remarriage of the Gaoyi county magistrate to the Xiao family. This is trying to create trouble for the Xiao family.

So what if she married the county lord, and she had to offer her ex-husband's memorial tablet by the way. The Xiao family didn't accept it, and it seemed that they were not big-hearted, and they couldn't even tolerate a dead person.

Mrs. Wang came forward to personally support Mrs. Du's hand, Xiangtao and Xiangling took a step back, "Mother-in-law, let's go to the wing room and rest first, we have nothing to do with other people's affairs!"

Hui Enbo Dong's family was also the founding father of the country, but one generation is not as good as the previous generation, and it has already fallen by now. If it is said that their family could still be considered a second-rate noble when they climbed to the head of Gaoyi County, Dong Ran died, and now even Dong Yan has to live. Going to Xiao's house, Gaoyi county lord made it clear that he didn't want to bother with the director's house anymore. It would be a matter of time before the Dong family became a third-rate noble. I'm afraid that there would no longer be a place for them in Bianjing.

Mrs. Wang was right, and heard the little novice tell them as a joke, "Since Miss Si took Master Dong's tablet to Lanling, the Dong family will sell the house in Bianjing city. Moving back to my hometown, I am now looking for a suitable buyer."

Old Mrs. Du glanced at the little novice, "You're so clear!" She winked at Xiangling again, and she immediately stuffed a purse into the little novice.

The little novice thanked him with a smile. Maybe it was because he had received too many tips, but his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing. He settled Mrs. Du and the others properly and ordered people to serve tea before retreating.

Du Yanyu didn't notice what the adults said, but Du Yanyun and Xiao Huaisu could hear clearly.

After sitting down, the two looked at each other, but Du Yanyun was the first to wink at her. It's not hard to understand what that meant.

Xiao Huaisu smiled back at her, but lowered his head and immersed himself in his own thoughts. He didn't know what it was like for a while, a little sour, and also a little inexplicably irritated.

Dong Yan was going to Xiao Mansion in Lanling, which was her home, although she didn't care about that place, but when she thought of another girl occupying her place in her home, she suddenly felt all sorts of feelings in her heart.

After everyone sat down, Mrs. Wang started talking with Mrs. Du in a low voice.

Du Yanyu is pestering Du Yanyun, trying to persuade her sister to agree to take them to Meilin in Xiaohoushan.

Xiao Huaisu sat quietly for a while, then waved his hand and called Xiaoju over, and whispered in her ear: "Go and inquire about Miss Dong's Fourth."

Xiaoju was slightly startled, but nodded in response, turned around and confessed a few words to Dai'er, and then went out.

Looking at the back of Xiaoju leaving, Xiao Huaisu slowly looked away.

After being trained by Mrs. Du for a while, even though Xiaoju still looks dull, she has a serious look when she does things, and she has some appearance.

Although she is now by her side, taking the post of third-class maid with Dai'er and Qiao'er, compared to the other two, Xiao Huaisu naturally trusts Xiaoju more.

Needless to say, Qiu Ling is now in charge of the jewelry, clothes and money in the house, and the three maids are willing to listen to her. Besides, she is a family child, so Xiao Huaisu will naturally rely on her more in the future, and it is reasonable to win her over.

It's just that Xiao Huaisu didn't bring Qiuling with him when he came to Daxiangguo Temple this time, but left her and Qiao'er to watch the courtyard together.

Du Yanyu pestered Du Yanyun for a while, and obviously agreed, the two sisters held hands and walked up to Xiao Huaisu. Du Yanyun glanced at her, then smiled and said, "What is cousin thinking?"

"I didn't think about anything." Xiao Huaisu moved to the side and made room for two seats on the spring stool. Du Yanyu took advantage of the opportunity to pull Du Yanyun to sit down, and then winked at her and said, "Look, I said that the second sister hurts the most. Me, she will take the two of us to Merlin in a while!"

But Du Yanyun shook his head helplessly, pointing at Du Yanyu's forehead, "It's all because I spoiled you too much in the past, now it's too late to regret it!"

Du Yanyu smiled triumphantly, her expression was full of vigor.

Xiao Huaisu covered his lips and smiled, "Third Cousin, please be satisfied, I also want to have a sister who loves me like this!"

"What's the matter, aren't you in Xiao's house..." Du Yanyu spoke quickly, until Du Yanyun pinched her palm before she knew she had said something wrong, and quickly changed her words: "Now there are two older sisters in front of you, we all love you Petting you, see if you are content?" As he spoke, he scratched Xiao Huaisu's itch, and the sisters laughed again.

Mrs. Du finished talking with Mrs. Wang, and seeing the sisters laughing together, she pointed her finger over there and said, "Look at this group of monkeys, but they've been nesting at home for a while in winter, and it's time to go out now." act wildly!"
