The Duke's Wife is Beautiful But Has a Dark Heart. Chapter 186

Chapter 186 The lady stays behind

Wen Yu came back and took a look at the progress of the shop.

 Song Shang is really capable! The Garment Pavilion has almost been tidied up.

The prototype of a restaurant has also emerged.

 She also saw an unexpected person in the small courtyard, Sun Ying.

Sun Ying escorted him to Beijing, this time taking his ten-year-old eldest grandson and his niece, whom Wen Yu had met before. He didn't go back with his escort, but took advantage of Li Jiang's absence to stay at his place.

Master Sun was complaining, saying that he wanted his eldest grandson to stay with the girl and find a future. The two girls also wanted to serve the girl for two years and save some dowry.

Wen Yu was overjoyed: "We are about to hire someone! Master Sun, please stay too! Get familiar with the capital quickly, there is work to be done soon!"

Sun Ying is also overjoyed!

Wen Yu called Zhang Jiangqing again and teased him with a smile: "How is Mr. Zhang doing lately?"

 “Not bad! Things go smoothly. The boss respects me. The brothers are friendly. It's convenient to travel and live.”

 “That's good, I have something for you to do...”

After Zhang Jiangqing heard what she had to do, she sighed: It really doesn't stop!

 Finally she knew why she wanted me to stay in Beijing. Who else could she entrust to handle this matter?

 Happy in her heart, she did not regard herself as an outsider.

 She felt unhappy because she really didn't regard herself as an outsider!

The Song family invited the Wen family to be their guests, and specially arranged to give them a lot of face when Wen Yu came back.

As soon as the Wen family arrived, Mrs. Song grabbed Wen Yu, looked him up and down, and kept saying nice things.

Wen Yu, of course, wanted to congratulate his cousin on the matter, and also said, "My cousin will ask you a favor later. When I see you later, I will call you madam!"

 “You girl!” Mrs. Song scolded, but she couldn't even see her smiling eyes.

I don't know if it was because of Webster's teachings or because they were natural enemies. Song Chihan always looked at Wen Yu coldly, but Wen Yu didn't even look at her.

 The Song family's family is much better than the Wen family's. In early spring, the scenery is very good.

 There are also several relatives of the Song family who came today. When they saw Wen Yu, they all wanted to get close to him.

 A girl was pestering her to go to the garden, but she had no choice but to follow her around. I just avoided it on the grounds of convenience and wanted to be quiet for a while.

 Xiaoji found her, winked at her, said Wen curiously, and followed her.

 At the front of the rockery, two men were talking excitedly.

“…Is this just what I'm talking about? You've been doing things absent-mindedly all day long. What are you thinking about?”

“I didn't delay anything, why do you always find fault with me?”

Xiao Ji came to Wen Yu's side: Madam Xu's two sons...

Wen Yu felt moved, nodded, and praised Xiao Ji. Although this girl is fat, she is very smart.

"Who can you show to someone who owes you eight hundred taels of silver?"

 “I've always been like this!”

"Always like this? You smiled like a flower in front of Mr. Liu and pretended I didn't see it!?"

“Sixth Master treats me well, but you don't care if I smile at him?!”

“Master Wu treats you badly?! Our family has a house and land, and mother and son work together. They both manage things but don't serve others..."

 “I am not a slave, why should I serve others?”

 “You! Why are you so ignorant?!”

The man ignored him.

“I don't know what you are thinking about all day long. Mother loves you the most. All the money in the family is left for you to marry a wife and have children. I hope you will be able to live happily..."

"Marry a wife? Marry a girl from the Song family?" The man sneered.

 “Who said you were allowed to marry a girl?”

 “Hmph, don't think I don't know!”

“Little brother, you have a servant by your side, who goes out to ride horses and takes care of people and things. It's just like this for a rich man. What else do you have to be dissatisfied about?”

"If dad is here, I can prepare these!"

"You!" The eldest brother of the Xu family was obviously angry: "But dad is not here anymore?!"

"Yes, dad is dead. But if it weren't for dad, would the fifth master be where he is today? In that case, how good would he be to us?"

Brother Xu went up and punched him, "Are you not satisfied? If you don't want to! Just leave! Leave the Song family! But I'm not allowed to follow Song Tao!"

 “Hmph! You can't control it!” The man turned around and left.

 Wen Yu listened to the whole process.

It seems that Mrs. Xu's youngest son was not completely deceived by Song Tao. He had his own ideas.

 Song Shang listened to what I said last time and did not give it to Song Tao.

 However, it's not okay to have such a person by your side!

 Although Mrs. Xu is practical and capable, she loves her son very much. If one day, she is asked to choose...

Spring has arrived and my husband is not at home.

Seeing that her mother-in-law had been taking Brother Rui with her all day, Mrs. Ma was worried that she would win him over, so she pulled her back.

 As a result, when her son was sleeping, he asked her to talk about ancient times...

Ma didn't know how to read. When she was in her boudoir, she was interested in clothes and flowers and the shortcomings of Zhang's family and Li's family. How could she know how to talk about ancient times?

It's easy to quarrel and curse, but if you really want to say something, you stumble over it. Your words don't express what you want and are inconsistent.

The curious baby Rui Geer asked a lot of questions, leaving her stunned.

　　　Unable to tell, Brother Rui looked down on him and went to sleep with his mother-in-law.

 Made her angry! I don't have to do any work at home, so I take some big money and go to the street to buy snacks.

 Then, cloth sellers, jewelry sellers, and knickknack sellers shopped from house to house.

She didn't have much money in her pocket, so she could only buy cheap ones. I watched it for a long time, and then I became familiar with the shopkeeper and the waiters in the store, as well as the people sitting around on the street.

Mr. Ma is not ugly. She also likes to dress up and joke. She speaks a soft southern tongue, which arouses the favor of many people.

The shopkeepers didn't dare to say teasing words, but their eyes... showed that they could make the decision, and they would generously give her some benefits.

 This made her very proud.

 Aunt Chen knew that she was always going out, so she talked about her. As a result, Ma made another fuss. Aunt Chen was so angry that she almost fell ill again.

 One day, Mr. Ma was tired from shopping and was walking home when he passed by a man.

Not long after, I heard a voice from behind: "This lady, please stay!"

Ma turned around and saw the man just now... he was wearing bright clothes and wearing jade, and he was saluting her.

 “Did this lady drop this purse?” The man was not good-looking, but his peach blossom eyes were very attractive.

 Obviously it was not her, but Ma nodded like a ghost.

“I would say that such a delicate purse can only be used by a lady!”

 “Thank you, sir!” Ma's heart was pounding.

 She really doesn't have much experience in this area. She was unwilling to marry a farmer or a clerk, so she designed Chen Wensi.

Although life was getting better, Chen Wensi's stupid goose only knew how to read, but it was very boring.

“There are not many people like this young master on this street!” She said coyly.

 “My dear wife, please take a look. Is there something missing?”

Ma took it and it was heavy in his hand. He quickly opened it and took out two small ingots, one gold and one silver.

 “Gold…” Ma was ecstatic.

“Madam, as the saying goes, wealth should not be revealed in vain, so you should put it away!” The man was very considerate.

Ma Shi quickly put on a show and smiled at the man, a bit charming, "I often buy things around here, but I have never seen the young master."

 “Oh, I don't live here.”

 “Not here?!” Ma was a little disappointed, so he couldn't see her again?

"When I first came to Beijing, I lived near here. Later I bought a house and moved away. However, there is a Jinguang Temple here. Although it is not big, it is very quiet. I come back often to visit."

"Buying a house in the capital, the master's family will have money!" Mr. Ma was envious.

“That house isn't big at all. Compared with the one in my hometown, it's hugely different!”

“Young Master is from a wealthy family in your hometown, right?”

 “My ancestors left me with a small fortune, but I'm still living well. I came to Beijing to...”

 The two of them chatted while walking, and without much effort, they became very warm.

 Finally, the young master also said that he would come to Jinguang Temple in two days.

Ma said she had never been there before, so the young master said he would take her there.

The two of them agreed on this.

Zhang Jiangqing told Wen Yu the news this time, and Wen Yu was satisfied. "This guy is quite capable!"

Seeing Zhang Jiangqing glaring at her, she quickly said: "When my cousin and the others come back, we can do it."

Mu Ling came in and said, "Girl, my brother is here and you are looking for him?"

Wen Yu said to Zhang Jiangqing: "Go to work quickly! I have something to do."

Zhang Jiangqing gave her another helpless look and left.

Wen Yu said to Mu Bo: "The Fifth Young Master said that he doesn't have much to do recently, so I borrowed you to help me keep an eye on someone to see what she is doing... Uh... just ask around and let me know if there is any news."
