Chapter 722 Encounter on a narrow road (1)

The weather in May is slightly hot, but not very hot. The sun is warm on the body, but not hot. With such good weather, many official ladies in purdahs have begun to go out for activities, or stay at home. There are many entertainment activities such as swinging in the garden, playing the piano, and fluttering butterflies, or going for an outing in the countryside with a few close friends, or staying in the village at home for a few days.

It's just that the ladies in Duke An's mansion haven't gone anywhere in the past few days. They have all stayed at home calmly. In the past few days, the mansion seems as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without any disturbance, but everyone feels that Yes, this is a sign of the coming storm.

Therefore, no one in the house dared to do anything that was against the rules. Even Du Wanyue and Du Wanru, who had always been the most arrogant, became much more honest, and the young masters in each courtyard also calmed down a lot and were all quiet. Stay in your own yard, lest you accidentally be affected by the old man's full of resentment!

These days, Anguo Duke Du Ruhai has been staying at Aunt Liao's house in Fangfei Pavilion and has never been back to Mrs. Wang's place. Aunt Liao was originally Mrs. Wang's dowry maid. Later, she was given to Duke An by the Wang family and became her concubine.

Aunt Liao gave birth to a son and a daughter for Duke An Guo. Her son, Du Yongqi, was already twenty-six years old and handsome. Unfortunately, he broke his leg while riding a horse when he was a child. He was disabled and could not become an official. The family of Duke An Guo was high and he was very handsome. The children of the family are not allowed to go out to do business, so Du Yongqi can only stay at home every day, accompanying himself with wine all day long; he also has a daughter, Du Yueniang, who is only eighteen years old. She has almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks, and is very beautiful. She has long been married. At my age, I had discussed a marriage some time ago, but later, due to some reasons, I backed out.

Aunt Liao and her two children were not paid much attention by An Guo Gong. It had been seven or eight years since An Guo Gong had stayed here. However, since the death of the Mei family in Changchun Garden, An Guo Gong had stayed here every day. Here, I didn’t even go back to Mrs. Wang’s place.

If in the past, any concubine dared to occupy the old man for a long time, Mrs. Wang would definitely give the concubine a severe beating, or she would have dealt with her long ago. But this time, instead of attacking Aunt Liao, she rewarded her. Many things for Liao.

Such an abnormal behavior was not due to Wang's change of temper, but because of what Du Ruhai said to her that night, which frightened her.

She is already in her fifties, and her jealousy has gradually faded away. The most important thing in her heart now is her second-grade imperial wife's position, but Du Ruhai actually said that he wanted her to abdicate in favor of someone better. Although He didn't put it into practice, but if he knew about the things she had done in the past, the matter of 'abdicating her position to make way for someone more worthy' would definitely become a reality.

Aunt Liao used to be her confidant, and she knew many things about her before. If the old man got some information from Liao and knew what she did to Mei, I'm afraid she would really be raped. So, for the sake of safety, in order to shut up Aunt Liao, she ignored all the jealousy and majesty of the lady. As long as the old man didn't know about those things, she would be allowed to go with a low eyebrow. To please Mr. Liao, she admitted it!

The weird atmosphere in the mansion seriously affected several young ladies and gentlemen. At first, everyone knew to avoid trouble and no one dared to make trouble. However, Mrs. Mei has been dead for several days, and the family is still as quiet as a backwater. , without any anger at all, several young gentlemen could no longer hold their temper, so they sneaked out of the house, and then lingered in their favorite Chuguan brothel, or casino and tavern; although the ladies did not dare to behave like the gentlemen, Although they are willful and unruly, they also have their own ways to relax. For example, Du Wanqiu, the eldest daughter of the family, secretly wrote a letter to Li Ruizhu of the General Protector's Mansion, and got a post from Miss Ruizhu asking her to enjoy the flowers!
