The Duke's Wife is Beautiful But Has a Dark Heart. Chapter 237

"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 and I have to be busy."

 Wen Yu nodded in response.

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

Mubo followed suit in stride.

 When Wen Yu left, Mrs. Qi was painting leisurely.

Wen Yu looked at her 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 smoothly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his wife, the Crown Prince and his concubine are all here. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave a jade carving, which is so beautiful. After a conversation, I asked my daughter-in-law 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. It is not easy for her to marry and take care of the prince, and the husband and wife are harmonious..." Mrs. Qi paused, and then said: "The prince at that time was the emperor's first 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 information has been 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 majesty. You are a little girl, how could he treat you like that?!"

 “Oh.” Wen Yu understood.

 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. .

 “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. He is the most loyal main force.

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

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

 The good snacks sold in the store 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-authoring it!

 As if she succeeded so casually! When people patronize her business, it depends on her mood!

 Do you think it's irritating? !

 Thinking about how I spent the whole day meditating, trying in every possible way, and learning from everywhere...but she was easily suppressed!

 I felt 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 imitate her, but it was not difficult to destroy her!

 Throw away a piece of hair, a piece of nail... If you don't want it again, 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 you don't get any news after staying for a few days...then think of something else!”

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

 “What else is going on?”

“Is that jade pendant you often 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, but you can still misread it!? 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!”

 Later, Mrs. Tan was talking to Mrs. Liu.

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

Mrs. Tan expressed satisfaction with the gesture of her daughter-in-law.

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've only looked at two months of last year's accounts and one year's expenses. My wife doesn't want to pass these things through human hands, so I haven't finished 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 wife understands." Ms. 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'll 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.

“Mother, don't worry, my father-in-law is sure of this matter.”

"I hope so! I have been separated from Youduan, my mother and my son for so long... Your family has been living there in the wind and dust. If you can no longer take advantage of this benefit... Aren't all those sins in vain?"

"Yes. That's why Yue'er doesn't like Xiao Wu. We are both descendants of the Qi family. What kind of life do each of us live like?"

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

"A troublemaker!" Ms. Liu was really worried about her son. Qi Yue was a man who kept his word and was ruthless. Sometimes, you just have to do things without caring!

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

 But how could she 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, changed his clothes, drank tea and took a breather.

I thought to myself 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!”

 “Yo! 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 quickly! I have been busy these days, but I forgot about seeing 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!"

“Everyone, don't be polite! My mother and husband both say that your family is careful and loyal. So, if there is no big deal, you are still doing what you were doing before. When I have free time, we will do the math again.”

"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...

 Actually there is nothing left in it.

She smiled bitterly. If grandma saw that Fifth Master was so poor, would she believe him?

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

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

“Leave it here, I'll look back later. If I don't understand something, 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!

Moreover, 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.” Zhang Caijia quickly put it down...

“Xiao Xiang, let them take the gifts you prepared!”

Zhang Cai and his 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 great gratitude.

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

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

 I hope the God of Wealth will bless you all!
