Chapter 87 Remarriage

Zhou was shocked when she heard this: "Who are you talking about?"

He looked up and saw his son looking at him with a frank, unflinching gaze.

She actually heard it, but she asked again because she was too surprised.

A few days ago, I told that young lady about Zhou Yan. Although he is a good person, she never thought of him as her son.

Not only does she have a son, she has two.

The previous daughter-in-law came from a scholarly family and was deeply in love with the eldest son, but she was not in good health and died a few years after their marriage.

When it came to marrying her eldest son, Zhou was still considering those ladies from the capital who had similar family backgrounds.

If that Miss Xu...

Zhou couldn't help but look at her eldest son in front of her. He was sitting there, obviously having made up his mind.

"Why her?" Zhou asked.

"Just like mother said, she has a good temper, and the key is... Yan'er likes her too." Wang Wendong said with a smile.

"Okay!" Zhou frowned and thought for a moment, then finally replied.

Wang Wendong's smile gradually spread, and he bowed to Zhou. "In that case, I'll trouble you, mother."

After her son left, Zhou sat in the room for a while. Her maid, Yuzhu, walked in with a pale look on her face.

Just now she was standing behind the curtain and heard clearly what the eldest young master said.

Zhou held her hand and asked, "Did you hear that too?"

Yuzhu nodded awkwardly, and Zhou smiled and said, "I've always known you're a good person. When the new wife comes home, I'll let you serve him."

Yuzhu lives up to her name, with round and smooth breasts, white cheeks and a plump figure.

I have just turned 18, and it is the perfect time for flowers to bloom.

Zhou originally wanted to give the jade bead to her son, but at that time her son and daughter-in-law had a good relationship and would not tolerate anyone else between them.

Later, her daughter-in-law left, and her eldest son was not interested in women, so she didn't dare to bring up the matter.

Yuzhu's face turned red when she heard this. Zhou smiled, patted her hand, and said nothing more.

The truth cannot be hidden. The news of Wang Wendong going to his mother's yard reached his second brother's ears. Wang Shaowei was stunned. Thinking of that playful and tough young lady, he felt very emotional.

When he came out of the palace that day, he saw his cousin. Thinking about his mother's matchmaking for Zhou Yan and his brother's decision, he wanted to give him a hint: "You should know that the matter didn't go through, right? I'm telling you, my mother plans to send a matchmaker to your house to propose marriage."

Wang Shaowei said this with a smile on his face, and then looked at Xiao Mo without blinking.

He didn't say it clearly, but looked like he was asking me something.

Xiao Mo glanced at him coldly: "What marriage are you proposing? Didn't you propose it last time?"

See! I know you don't understand.

Wang Shaowei smiled and said, "Of course I'm proposing marriage to my brother!"

After saying this, he thought of his elder brother and their journey back to Beijing from Huzhou, and he felt that the world was unpredictable.

Who could have thought that the clever and cunning young lady would become his sister-in-law?

In the mind of the second son of the Marquis's family, his elder brother was a rare talent and had inherited a title. Although it was his second marriage, his house was clean and his personality was good, so there was absolutely no reason why he was not worthy of the young lady.

Besides, we are so familiar with each other, and Miss Xu is married nearby, so she can take care of my younger brother in the future. What could be better than this?

Xiao Mo didn't say anything, but the guards behind him were shocked when they heard it.

Marry the eldest son of the Wang family as a second wife?

Now there is only one cousin left in the Duke Cheng's Mansion, so the person to be proposed to is self-evident.

Wuming quietly raised his head and looked at his master, seeing him standing there, not knowing what he was thinking.

The second son of the Wang family was still talking to himself, "The person he was proposing marriage to is your cousin Xu. Fortunately, she was smart enough to come with us safely to the capital. Otherwise, where would I find my eldest sister-in-law..."

Wuming felt that the cousin in front of him was really noisy and could not help but call out: "Master..."

Xiao Mo came back to his senses and said calmly, "Yeah."

He walked forward and got into a carriage not far away. The curtain closed instantly, blocking anyone from peeping inside.

In the mansion of Duke Chengguo, after Xu Shuyao and Old Madam Xiao returned home, they had not even sat down when they were greeted by their third cousin Xiao Jinshan.

The maids in Jiyunzhai were packing up boxes and crates when they heard a voice outside, "Is cousin here?"

Soon Xiao Jinshan arrived at the door. Seeing her, she said with a happy face, "You are finally back. It has been so boring in the mansion since you left for the past few days."

Xu Shuyao curled up on the couch without any energy left. "Why are you bored? Weren't you living a good life before I came?"

Xiao Jinshan glared, "The key is that grandma is not here either."

How is this possible?

I haven't seen you being intimate with the old lady before.

Xu Shuyao was thinking about it and didn’t know what to do.

In the end, Xiao Jinshan muttered a lot of nonsense in Jiyunzhai.

It was like her mother asked her to embroider her dowry, and her hands hurt.

My brother and sister-in-law are having a quarrel again.

My mother doesn't talk to Liu Qingwan anymore.

Finally, she mentioned her eldest sister, Xiao Jinyi. "Mother is very worried about her now. My sister is too strong-willed. After entering the Li Mansion, she got the housekeeper power but she didn't dare to let go. As a result, she lost the baby due to overwork. She still didn't dare to rest too much and didn't take good care of herself during the postpartum period. The doctor said that she might have difficulty having children in the future..."

Although Xu Shuyao had heard some fragments before, it was not as specific as what Xiao Jinshan said now, and she felt sad for a moment.

The marriage that looked so bright and happy that even the second young master’s wife envied turned out to be like this.

But she thought of her second cousin in the mansion. Although Xu Shuyao had been in contact with her for two years, she still didn't understand her.

The original second cousin seemed to be very considerate, but her true heart could not be seen.

It’s better to be simple like the one in front of me.

Xu Shuyao sighed, and then she heard her say, "You don't know? My second brother-in-law has a cousin who has lived here for a few years. She's very good at handling things. Not long ago, my second brother-in-law somehow stayed in her room, and it became a big fuss. The fault was on my second brother-in-law again, and the head lady of the Li Mansion said she wanted to make her niece a concubine. She also said that it was because my sister came from the Chengguo Mansion, otherwise she might even be a co-wife."

Xu Shuyao's eyes widened after hearing this. It was too outrageous that such a thing happened less than a year after getting married.

"Does my uncle know?"

From what she knew, although her uncle was a soft-hearted person, he was a good man. If he knew what had happened to his daughter, he would probably take action.

Even if you tell the old lady in the mansion, she will not sit idly by.

The Xiao family rose to prominence through military exploits, and now the Duke is guarding the peace of the area. How could he be the kind of person who can be manipulated at will?

Even Xu Shuyao, the cousin who was staying at the mansion and had a mediocre relationship with her second cousin, was aroused.
