Generally speaking, for the dignitaries, the filth in the inner house is determined not to be stabbed outside. On the one hand, it has a bad reputation and on the other hand, it's feared that someone interested will use this matter to make a fuss in the court. Things in the house always focus on the future of the man.

For Qin Yiniang's punishment, in the eyes of everyone, it was already the best result.

After cleaning up the things that were blocking herself, the old lady felt refreshed and had an extra bowl for lunch, showing a good mood to the naked eye.

On that day, no matter how much Qin Yiniang cried, how her son and daughter knelt down and pleaded for mercy, Xu Chengting sent someone to forcibly send her to Zhuangzi.

Zhiyuan, the sun is shining brightly, the gentle wind passes through the casement and curtains.

On the wood-colored wood-scented table, the hot tea that was just brewed was dense.

Du Yunniang was sitting alone in the room, with the account books of various Zhuangzi shops that were waiting to be checked. Looking at the bright light outside the house, she looked a little stunned.

If it was in the past, no, it should be said in her previous life, she would never miss the opportunity to go out and have fun in such a good weather, invite a few girlfriends to go shopping, buy food and enjoy this rare good time to the fullest, even if you go shopping all day. will not feel tired.

Now, she hasn't thought about being Du Xiaoyun for a long time, she has truly become Du Yunniang, a dignified and generous mistress of the Hou Mansion. 

At the beginning, when it came to marrying into the Hou Mansion, in addition to the first mother who had her own plans, Du Yunniang also had her own plans. She knew that this was her chance. Perhaps after missing this time, she, a humble prostitute, would never find a better marriage than this. 

As for the others, Du Yunniang thought, with the memories of those modern people, can't she live her own life well? 

However, some things are not as simple as they say. I thought that she and Xu Chengting could be a respectful and courteous couple on the surface. But as the two had more and more daily contact, with the handsome face of the man and the tender and affectionate eyes looking at her, her heart became more and more uncontrollable, and gradually sank into it.

Du Yunniang has changed, she has become more dignified, unconsciously caters to men's preferences, and tries to please every day. But some things don't always turn out as you wish. Men have too many things in their hearts, including the future of Hou's mansion and his career...

For Xu Chengting, women must be able to grasp their sense of proportion, neither too stupid nor too smart. Xu Chengting needed a woman to help him take care of the back house. Before getting married, he also specially sent his subordinates to investigate Du Yunniang carefully. Seeing that her actions were in line with his requirements, he agreed.

Mother Ju walked into the house slowly, her face a little ugly. After she bowed and saluted, she said softly, "Ma'am, the Manting Pavilion has already been dealt with."

"I see."

Du Yunniang retracted her gaze from the window, turned her head, and saw that Juma's expression was not good, Can't help frowning. "But what went wrong?"

Thinking of Concubine Qin's pair of children who already enlightened, the boy is eleven years old this year, and the girl is nine years old. don't know how Qin Yiniang lied to Xu Chengting at the beginning, but these two children have been raised by her own mother.

Because it was his first child, Xu Chengting valued Brother Qian very much, and he also loved Sister Ling on weekdays. 

Now even if Qin Yiniang had committed many crimes and kicked out of the Hou residence, Xu Chengting didn't want to take out his anger, for the sake of brother Qian's tolerance and forgiveness. 

Before dawn today, Du Yunniang got up early in the morning to serve Xu Chengting's dressing and washing. Before leaving, Xu Chengting made a special confession to let her take care of Brother Haoqian and Sister Ling, not only to choose another yard for Brother Qian. 

he also asked Sister Ling to move into the side yard. For the two children who had already remembered the biological mother was behind the instigation, they were afraid that the two children would have their own thoughts. 

This was really a tricky job for Du Yunniang. Du Yunniang said clearly in her heart: "But what are the dissatisfactions between Brother Qian and Sister Ling..." 

Mammy Ju lowered her head and acquiesced, then said, "Don't take it to heart, madam, you are their first-mother, and Marquis is pressing on the top, they dare not disrespect you."

"I understand..." The woman's voice was faint.

Du Yunniang knew in her heart that, strictly speaking, Xu Chengting did not punish Aunt Qin, but it was the most appropriate way. How lenient His Majesty is to him today has already made many people in the DPRK jealous, secretly waiting for the opportunity to cause trouble. At this juncture, nothing can go wrong in Hou's mansion, and people should take the blame.

Maybe it was his early years, but now that man is terribly rational.

Du Yunniang understands these plain truths. But...

the soul of a modern person made her feel a little bit of grief in her heart. It seems to outsiders that she and Xu Chengting are in harmony and envious of others, but the grievances and bitterness in them can only be experienced by themselves.

"Madam..." Mammy Ju looked at her master's gloomy expression, and she was a little worried. However, Du Yunniang quickly regained her composure and regained her smile.

"Mother Ju, I'm fine."

Even in the modern world, how to get along between husband and wife is a matter of knowledge. Confused, can't explain clearly or understand. The so-called living should be like this vaguely...

**

"I don't." The little milk said.

In the yard, the maids who waited on the side looked at the two little masters in front of them in embarrassment.

Hearing these merciless words, the nine-year-old girl who was standing opposite the little doll suddenly lost her smile.

The two of them stood still.

The small yard where I lived before was burnt down and the house has not been repaired yet, so I have been living in the north courtyard for this period of time. She originally thought she was alone in this place, but she didn't expect that another one suddenly moved in in the wing next door today.

Aunt Qin's daughter, Xu Ling.

The maid who accompanied the message also brought a sentence to peipei, Hou Ye hoped that the two sisters could get along in harmony.

On the spot, another set of vase china in the house was scrapped.

Although I don't know if Xu Chengting is really lacking in heart, but it is confirmed that is a dog.

Bah, don't insult the dog, the dog has more character than him!

Not only let the children of the "murderer" live next door to the "victim", but also hope that they can coexist harmoniously. He was trying to disgust her on purpose, wasn't he?

Just when she was about to go out and find someone to settle the bill, this concubine sister appeared out of nowhere and came to the door first.

Under the veranda, the soft and delicate little girl blocked the way of the little cub with the maid next to her. Xu Ling tried her best to get her mother's true inheritance, tears flowed before she spoke, as if someone else had bullied her. 

With her delicate voice pinched, she said strange words to the three-year-old baby.

What wasn't intentional, she didn't know that she would meet Seventh Sister here. Since ancient times, she has grown up in an orderly manner and has to rush to see her father and tell the cubs to get out of the way first.

Ha ha.

The cub laughed softly. Seeing it all, she brought it to the door herself, so no one else can blame it...

"Plop!" The little girl who was still smug just now was kicked into the pond in an instant.

The surrounding maids and servants changed their faces. After they reacted in a daze, immediately panicked and hurriedly shouted to the surrounding: "Come on!"

"Someone fell into the water!", looking for people looking for people, looking for bamboo poles looking for bamboo poles.

Only the cub was leaning leisurely beside the column, happily admiring the panic-stricken and struggling appearance of the man in the water.

"Help!" Xu Ling kept flapping her hands in the pond.

What a ladylike demeanor, what a pitiful appearance, all lost in the face of fear.

The pond in the side yard is only for ornamental purposes and is not deep. Xu Ling was quickly rescued by the servants.

Her hair was covered with water plants, her face was covered in mud, the new clothes she just made were all black mud, and looked very embarrassed.

As soon as she landed, she fell on the ground and cried. But this time it's not pretending, it's real tears.

"What the hell is going on!" A voice full of majesty and anger sounded.

Xu Chengting and Du Yunniang, who came here upon hearing the news, frowned as they watched the chaotic scene.

Before the others could speak, the mama who followed Xu Ling hurriedly cried out, "Master Hou, you are here! If you come one step later, our young lady will be killed by someone!"

" What are you talking about, old guy!" The maid who was beside Peipei was not happy when she heard this, doesn't this mean that their sister jin is deliberately hurting people!

Although it was true that Sister Ling was kicked down by Sister Jin, it must have been an accident. PeiPei maids beside her hypnotized herself like this.

"Woooo-" Xu Ling covered her face and cried. The red eyes were extremely aggrieved, and shouted to Xu Chengting, "Daddy, Sister Jin bullied me."

Hearing this, Xu Chengting turned his head to look at the little doll sitting beside him, her soft little face had nothing to do with it own appearance.

On the side, although Du Yunniang didn't show her face, she still couldn't help worrying. However, she knew in her heart that it was best for her not to speak at this time.

Seeing the little doll playing with the straps of her clothes on her own, doesn't care about anyone. Xu Chengting coughed a few times and assumed a dignified attitude. "Sister Jin, what else do you have to say about this?"

Peipei turned her head, looked at Xu Ling who was still crying, then turned back to Xu Chengting, and said lightly, "Can't you see? How old is she? How old am I?"

Not only Xu Chengting was stunned for a moment, but the maids and servants also looked up quietly.

The nine-year-old girl's height has already begun to draw, compared to the three-year-old baby who has just recovered from a serious illness. The difference between the two is so big. The people who didn't see PeiPei kick Xu Ling into the pond with their own eyes couldn't believe that a three-year-old child could bully a nine-year-old child.

"But that's the truth!" 

Seeing the suspicious expressions of the others, Xu Ling couldn't help shouting: "She kicked me into the pond! If Daddy doesn't believe me, you can ask Mammy Xiang. They!" 

 "Mother Xiang and the others are all serving by your side, naturally they are all shield their masters, how can they testify for you?" Xu Chengting said solemnly. 

He has interrogated many prisoners. In order to exonerate the family, relatives often make false statements. 

This... why can't you tell! Xu Ling's face turned red. Pointing to the maid next to him, she shouted, "Dad can also ask Liu Lu and Liu Xin! They saw it at the time!" 

Liu Lu and Liu Xin, who were named, looked at each other, and then quickly faced each other. Xu Chengting bowed and saluted: "Reporting to the Marquis, Miss Seven has never done this." 

Just kidding, they are the maids in Miss Seven's house, how could they betray their master. 

"You are lying! They are lying, Daddy..." Xu Ling stomped her feet in anger. Turning her head to look at Xu Chengting and shouting: "It's not like this! No..." 

"Shut up!" Xu Chengting scolded. His eyes were full of anger. 

Obviously, he didn't want to believe Xu Ling's words. Xu Ling was so frightened that she closed her mouth suddenly, tears streaming down her face and cried even more pitifully. 

"Master Hou, I'm not sure about the little girl's family." 

Du Yunniang slowly stepped forward to smooth things out and comforted Xu Chengting softly. She was skeptical about whether Sister Jin really kicked Sister Ling into the pond. Like everyone else, she didn't believe it. 

But when she thought of the scene when Sister Jin threatened Yu Mama that day, she hesitated again... 

The child could do it, kicked someone into the pond.

"Why don't you learn better!" Xu Chengting looked at Xu Ling and said. In his heart, he thought that Qin Yiniang had badly taught her children. he couldn't help regretting that he had lost his head for a while and promised to let her raise two children, Brother Qian and Sister Ling.

Hearing her father who had always loved her scold her so much, Xu Ling cried even louder.

Sitting on the big rock next to them, she looked at these people leisurely. It was like watching a joke...

Xu Ling was brought to change clothes by Mother Ju, while Du Yunniang and Xu Chengting remained in the yard, reprimanding the maid and wife beside Xu Ling.

Pei Pei took a look at the couple, since Xu Chengting and Du Yunniang happened to be there, they didn't have to make another trip. A small milk voice said:

"Is it time to talk about other things..."

With Du Yunniang's comfort, Xu Chengting slowly calmed down. Hearing the young daughter's sudden speech, both of them had puzzled expressions on their faces.

"What's the matter?"

"Change room."

"Change room?" Xu Chengting finally remembered that he had ordered Sister Ling to move to the side yard and live in the same courtyard with Sister Jin.

It turned out that he felt sorry for Sister Ling without Aunt Qin by his side, thinking that Yunniang was kind, he would definitely take good care of her. Furthermore, Sister Ling and Sister Jin can be good companions when they were together, he didn't want to see discord between his children. As for the ideas of the parties, it is not within his scope of consideration.

The little baby announced loudly, "I want to live alone."

Xu Chengting was silent.

For a long time, no one dared to disobey what he ordered, but... looked at the fluffy little daughter, thinking that she had made him lose face again and again, and couldn't help but said solemnly: "No, I have already ordered to go down and let Sister Ling move in."

Peipei stopped talking, stared at Xu Chengting with his big black eyes, said quietly, "Her mother harmed me."

Hearing this, Xu Chengting and Du Yunniang were both stunned. Regarding the matter of Aunt Qin, they feel guilty for this daughter.

However, the majesty of the head of the family cannot be challenged. Xu Chengting did not agree and turned away directly.

Du Yunniang glanced at Pei Pei worriedly, also disapproving of her daughter's disobedience to her father. It's just a small matter, why bother. Then she hurriedly followed her husband away.

PeiPei quietly watched their retreating backs, and said with a blank expression:

"You will agree."

...

Regarding the matter of changing the house, Xu Chengting and Du Yunniang regarded them as their young daughters matter was settled.

However...

that night, when everyone was about to fall asleep,

"Dong Dong!! Dong Dong!!!" The loud and shocking sound of the gong suddenly woke everyone up from their sleep.

The lights in each room were turned on, and everyone put on their clothes while swearing: "Which wicked ghost is beating the gong in the middle of the night!!"

Everyone looked in the direction from which the sound of the gong came. hospital?

At this time, the bedroom in the main courtyard was very chaotic. As the most seriously injured victim, Xu Chengting was chasing the "initiator" all over the house in a single shirt.

Du Yunniang sat on the bed in a daze, her mind dazed and her ears buzzing.

However, the cub's body was too flexible and while avoiding the big hand that grabbed her, knocked on the gong in her hand. In the end, she sprang out of the house directly and climbed up to the high roof holding the pillar in twos and threes.

Facing the bright moon, banging the gong vigorously,

"Dong Dong!! Dong Dong!!!"

The milky and childish voice loudly shouted: "Come on!! Xu Chengting hit the child!!!"

"Xu Chengting hit the child!!!"

"Dong Dong!! Dong Dong!!!"

In between, all the mansions around Yongchang Marquis Mansion were lit up. Many people came out in their clothes.

Xu Chengting, who was chasing out, turned black with anger. After getting on the roof, I saw that the surrounding houses were brightly lit, almost fell unsteady and almost fell from the roof.

Who are the big families who can live in the imperial city? On the road, you can bump into three high officials and two princes, there are even a large number of princesses in the county master's mansion. What's more, Yongchang Hou's mansion is still close to the imperial palace and there are many dignitaries living nearby.

Thinking of the situation that he will face tomorrow, Xu Chengting's heart is relieved at this moment, and his whole body is messy in the wind.
