Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 81
However, Mrs. Wang noticed the changes in the Xiaokua courtyard, and Du Yanyun was sent to ask Xiao Huaisu, "But what is wrong with the people in the kitchen? If my cousin is not satisfied, just talk to me." Say."

However, Xiao Huaisu waved his hand, and rejected Du Yanyun with a smile, "It's rare that Xiaoju has such perseverance and determination, so let her mess around, and it will save trouble for the second cousin, right?"

Du Yanyun reluctantly complied, but he kept his eyes open. He looked back in the kitchen and found out what happened at Mrs. Du's birthday party that day. The cook who was in charge of Xiao Huaisu's medicinal diet was transferred away, and that was the end of the matter.

Nothing is going well between the master and the master, how can these servants be allowed to step on the high and low, watching the dishes, and besides, Xiao Huaisu is still the treasure held in the palm of Mrs. Du, how can these people look down on them at will?
Du Yanyun's resolute actions naturally played a role, Xiaoju passed it to Xiao Huaisu's ears when she turned around, and she just smiled helplessly, but it was just a small matter, she didn't take it to heart, it seems that Du Yanyun was too cautious up.

But this is also good, killing the chickens to warn the monkeys, so that those who are a little cautious will become honest immediately, and the servants of the Du Mansion are also more rigorous in their work.

The eldest aunt, Du Boxian, was calm for a few days when she first returned to the Du mansion, and then she began to ask Mrs. Du about Du Boshu's past, "Mother's letter was cryptic, and I didn't understand it for a while. Is there another secret behind my sister's death?"

Mrs. Du was silent for a long time, and then slowly shook her head, "We are just guessing whether there is any secret, but the Lord Gaoyi is making friends with Bo Shu, and at the same time has a secret relationship with Xiao Sanzhu. I gave birth to a daughter less than half a year after we got married, do you think there is something strange about it?"

Mrs. Wang was also on the sidelines, and followed Mrs. Du's words, "In my opinion, even if Bo Shu's death was not tampered with, he could still be pissed off by these two people!"

"People from the Xiao family... and the Gaoyi county lord!"

Du Boxian gritted her teeth, her face sank, her fists slowly clenched, and she said after a while: "The people of the Xiao family have nothing to do, if father wants to punish them, wouldn't it be as easy as crushing an ant to death?! "

"It used to be like this," Wang sighed, "but now that the Xiao family has found the head of Gaoyi County, and even Princess Daming has given up face to ask for an official position for the two brothers, it's not like now that Xiao Yitao is already in Guanglu Temple Under the emperor's nose, who would dare to do small tricks easily... As for Xiao Yihai, perhaps the Gaoyi County Lord was reluctant to let him go far away, and now he is left in Lanling Mansion as a co-prefect."

Mrs. Du also had a solemn expression, "Although the Xiao family brothers do not have great official positions, after all, they are ordered by the court, and your father will not easily suppress them. This matter has to be done slowly..."

Hearing Mrs. Du mentioning Mrs. Du, Du Boxian's face softened, and she pondered: "Father has always been a calculating person. If he is not fully sure, it is really not easy to do it lightly, so as not to scare the snake!"

Mrs. Du nodded her head, "That's the reason."

A few people were talking, but a servant girl lifted the curtain and came in to report, "Old Madam, Mrs. Xiao from the Marquis of Changxing, please see me!"

"Madam Xiao?"

Du Boxian's eyes flashed, and then she looked at Wang Shi, "But Xiao Yitao's wife?"

"That's not her."

Mrs. Wang nodded, "Xiao Yitao took office a few months ago, and the whole family moved to Bianjing City. Mrs. Xiao came to our place a few times." Then she turned to Mrs. Du, "It's just that at that time, Mrs. Mother took Yun'er and the others to the village to escape the summer heat, and I simply dealt with the next few times when people came, but Mrs. Xiao hasn't come for a long time." At this point, doubts arose in my heart.

Du Boxian sneered, "She still has the face?"

Mrs. Du pondered slightly: "Since people are here, please come in!" Then she turned to Du Boxian and said, "You suppress your temper too, but now this Mrs. Xiao intends to get closer to us, don't offend people to the end , it’s hard to turn around.”

Du Boxian was startled, and rolled her eyes, "Could it be that mother has other plans?"

Wang's eyes were twitching, he exchanged a look with Mrs. Du, and couldn't help but smile, "It's not a big plan, but if the two of the Xiao family turned their backs on themselves, wouldn't it be nice for us to sit aside and watch the show?"

Du Boxian felt sorry for this, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "My sister-in-law still has an idea."

As soon as the voices of these people fell, they could vaguely hear footsteps from outside the corridor, and then the curtain was lifted from the outside, Xiangtao led the way in front, and Mrs. Xiao turned in with graceful steps, dressed in jewels and jewels. Dazzling people's eyes, he smiled before saying a word, and saluted the old lady Du who was upright, "I'm here to disturb the old lady today."

"Mrs. Xiao is very polite."

Mrs. Du's voice was as flat as before, neither warm nor overly repulsive.

Mrs. Xiao swept her eyes and saw Du Boxian sitting under Mrs. Du, the panic on her face disappeared for a moment, and she said in surprise: "This is..."

Not to mention that Mrs. Xiao would be surprised, if people who knew Du Boxian and sisters before saw them, they would say that they look alike, but they have different temperaments. One is weak and the other is strong. If you look carefully, you can easily tell them apart.

Mrs. Wang stood up with a smile, "Madam Xiao, I'm afraid I haven't seen her before. This is our family's aunt. She came back from Yanping to visit her relatives in Beijing."

"It turned out to be Mrs. Yanping Hou Wang."

Mrs. Xiao calmed down slightly, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted Du Boxian with a smile.

Du Boxian smiled lightly, and the light flashed in her eyes, "Our uncle must have been taken care of by Mrs. Xiao when she married into Xiao's residence. As an older sister, I should also thank you for her."

Mrs. Xiao's face was slightly stiff, and she lowered her eyes with a guilty conscience, "As the elder sister-in-law, it is also necessary to take care of the younger siblings. It's just that the third younger siblings are poor, and they couldn't wait for the day to reunite with Mrs. Wang..." After finishing speaking, she felt a little bit sad. Anxiety, she secretly thought that Du Boxian's eyes were so sharp. Originally, it was just an understatement, but the oppression was not just a little bit. At this moment, her palms were sweating a little.

If it were Du Boshu, she would definitely not give people such a feeling. The two aunts of the Du family are really different.

Mrs. Du gave Du Boxian a slight look, but when she turned her head, there was a smile on her lips.

Mrs. Wang pulled Mrs. Xiao to sit down, and said affectionately: "What's the matter, you haven't been here for a long time, why did you come this time? Why didn't you bring the two ladies from the house together?"

Mrs. Xiao calmed down, and then said: "The two girls are staying in the mansion to learn the rules. I really didn't know until I entered Bianjing City. There are too many things I don't know." He glanced at Mrs. Du's mother and daughter, "Old lady, don't laugh at me."
