Chapter 364 Duke Anguo’s Mansion (2)

Butler Cao left with a smile.

Mu Zhongqing said worriedly: "Meimei, I always feel that something is wrong. Butler Cao is too attentive. Come to think of it, you don't have that much influence in this house. Why is he so attentive?"

Du said: "I don't notice anything is wrong. I just really care about my mother and don't care much. If they really have harmful intentions for me, even if we don't come, they can only kill us with the power of Duke Anguo." A word means a matter, so let’s take it one step at a time!"

While the two were talking, Butler Cao came back and said with a smile: "Auntie, uncle, please come in quickly. Fortunately, the Duke and all the other gentlemen are here, and they all want to meet my uncle. Please take your uncle to recognize your relatives." !"

Du and Mu Zhongqing looked at each other, nodded, and followed Butler Cao towards the hall of the mansion with mixed emotions.

After walking around the screen wall and walking to the door of the main room, I saw four girls waiting outside the door, and several women standing in the corridor, waiting for orders at any time.

Seeing the Du couple, the girl with sharp eyes and quick hands opened the door curtain and invited them in.

The flower hall was crowded with people, both standing and sitting. In the middle, on a pair of rosewood armchairs, sat Duke Anguo Du Ruhai and his wife Wang.

Du Ruhai is about fifty years old, with sparse beard and hair, pale face, and swollen eyelids. He looks like he has been injured by drinking and sex. He wears a maroon trimmed wide-sleeved robe with complicated embroidery patterns on it, which is similar to his Anguo. The identity of the public is very suitable.

Mrs. Wang, who is over fifty years old, has a dignified and delicate face. She is wearing a lake blue Sichuan brocade embroidered with lotus flowers. Below is a dark brown horse-faced skirt embroidered with gold and flowers, and a hollow dotted emerald hairpin on her head. He has a crested hairpin, a golden hairpin with rubies inlaid with longevity characters, a pair of red coral pendants on his ears, a tourmaline bracelet on his left hand, and a white jade ring on his middle finger. He looks luxurious and wealthy.

Although Mrs. Wang looked dignified and dignified, Mrs. Du knew that this aunt was actually a very powerful person.

When his father An Guogong was young, he was a romantic man with many concubines and even more concubines and concubines. But in the end, only two concubines and a few concubines with outstanding looks survived. Of those two concubines, one was knocked down while riding a horse and lost his leg. The lame man was born stupid and a fool. Now he is raised in the west courtyard and has a family and a career.

The concubines who survived were all beautiful in appearance, and could bring benefits to Anguo Duke's family through marriages and marriages. In recent years, the Anguo government has indeed benefited from many in-laws.

In this way, the power of Mrs. Wang's methods can be seen.

"Greetings to my father and mother, my brothers and sisters-in-law."

Mrs. Du took Mu Zhongqing and went forward to greet Anguo Duke Du Ruhai and the Wang family. They also went to greet the several brothers who were direct brothers who were under Du Ruhai and the sisters-in-law who were under Mrs. Wang. Their attitude was respectful but without any guilt. She looked as calm and composed as if she were the daughter of a daughter who had been married for more than ten years and returned home.

Du Ruhai and Mrs. Wang looked at each other with disgust in their eyes, but neither spoke. The brothers who sat down were all silent and sullen, looking at the couple with unkind eyes.

The Du family and his wife were all polite, but no one in the room called them out, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

However, a sister-in-law sitting under Mrs. Wang stood up with a smile, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Look, we haven't seen each other for decades, and when we first see our fourth sister, everyone is so excited that they can't say anything."

"Haha, yes, yes, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and when I first saw my fourth sister, I didn't dare to recognize her."
