Chapter 76 Don’t offend the second young lady

“It can’t be helped if it doesn’t work out. I’ll go and tell Aunt He so she won’t have to wait.”

Madam Wang’s worries didn’t diminish at all.

The second young lady was still in the mansion, so they could catch Madam’s mistakes and report them to the old man.

When the second young lady married into the Yongjing Marquis’s mansion, what mistakes could Madam make that would be punished by the old man and have her housekeeper’s power confiscated?

After getting the response, Aunt He sighed lightly:

“Some people don’t appreciate their blessings, so why are they so blessed?”

If the second young lady was her daughter, she would have become the person in power in the backyard of the mansion.

It’s a pity that Madam didn’t seize such a good opportunity and didn’t lose it.

And what about her?

No matter how hard she tried, it was all in vain.

"Aunt, what did you say?"

Zhu Songyan, who was practicing calligraphy, looked up at Aunt He. There was a bit of Zhu Xuntao on her watery little face.

Looking at her daughter's beautiful little face that was gradually growing up, Aunt He smiled:

"Aunt said that she must protect you and find a good husband for you in the future."

In this matter, the old man could not be relied on, and the lady could not be relied on. She could only rely on herself.

Zhu Songyan blushed: "Aunt, the daughter is still young!"

Aunt He smiled: "Yes, still young."

If her daughter was a little older, she would be anxious.

She not only has a daughter, but also a son. The lady has no legitimate son, so there are some things that she can fight for.

"Miss, Aunt He embroidered a square handkerchief and said it was a small item for you to play with."

"No, send it back."

Zhu Xuntao didn't even look at it and asked Qiuyue to return the item.

Without looking, she could probably guess what Aunt He was thinking.

After all, Aunt He had only had this in mind for a long time. Her biological

mother was crazy, but she was not.

How could she, a legitimate child, help an aunt to deal with her biological mother?

Is Aunt He going crazy trying to stand out?

"Oh."

Qiuyue was not surprised at all.

Aunt He had sent things to her young lady four times before,

and this was the fifth time. Although the frequency was less than once a year, these four times were enough for Qiuyue to remember.

In the past, when life was hard, Zhu Xuntao had never accepted anything from Aunt He.

Now that life is better, Qiuyue doesn't think there is anything wrong with Zhu Xuntao's refusal.

It's just a handkerchief, no matter how beautifully it is embroidered, it's just a handkerchief. The Marquis's

Mansion sent so many good materials to the young lady. If the young lady wants it, she can give her a new handkerchief every day!

“Hahahaha…”

Aunt He’s little tricks never fooled Aunt Wang.

When she heard that Aunt He was rejected by Zhu Xuntao again, she laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.

“I’m afraid that the one surnamed He has taken the wrong medicine. No matter how badly Madam treats the Second Miss, they are still biological mother and daughter.”

“They don’t have any life-and-death hatred. Unless the Second Miss is blinded by greed, how could she agree to the one surnamed He.”

Before Aunt He entered the mansion, Aunt Wang was the most favored.

After Aunt He was promoted, Zhu Dingxing’s favor was divided into most of them. How could Aunt Wang like Aunt He?

What’s more, she and Aunt He both have sons, and they are both eyeing that position.

Aunt He is about to come to the fore, and the one who will be promoted is Zhu Shiren, born to Aunt He.

Seeing that Aunt He failed and her son still had a chance, Aunt Wang was overjoyed.

Qiu Jian came to Aunt Wang's side:

"The reason why the second young lady's life is so difficult is that Aunt He also helped, it's not Madam Quan's fault."

"Aunt, should we tell the second young lady this news and do her a favor?"

Aunt Wang hesitated:

"Qiu Jian, what kind of person do you think the second young lady is?"

Qiu Jian swallowed and was asked:

"Well..."

She is... a very quiet person who doesn't make any noise at all.

The second young lady is a legitimate daughter, but she has no status in the back house.

If the second young lady wanted to, she would have made a scene in front of the old man a hundred times about what happened to her.

The old man may not care about the second young lady, but he has to save face. Every time

the second young lady makes a scene, the old man will speak up and make the second young lady's life a little better.

But once, it really didn't happen once, she was too quiet.

"The Second Miss has every reason to quarrel and every reason to make trouble, but she has never done so. Why do you think so?"

Aunt Wang said that she could not see through Zhu Xuntao, the Second Miss.

Even if most people in the mansion thought that the Second Miss was easy to bully, Aunt Wang, who was always looking for good luck and avoiding danger, did not dare to touch a hair of Zhu Xuntao.

Aunt Wang could not explain why.

She just thought so in her heart and did so.

Qiu Jian was confused: "Because she is timid?"

Aunt Wang laughed:

"The Second Miss relied on her own strength to rescue the young master before everyone else. You say she is timid?"

If the Second Miss is a timid person, is there anyone brave in this world?

"Also, she can't be a stupid person."

Otherwise, the Second Miss would have been ill yesterday.

"That's foolish filial piety?"

After a long pause, Qiu Jian finally managed to squeeze out an adjective.

Aunt Wang still shook her head:

"There are not many children in the mansion, but Shijie never looks at me the same way that the second lady looks at the lady."

Many times, she felt that the look in the Second Miss's eyes was not like she was looking at a relative, but more like she was looking at a stranger.

It was also because of this look that no matter how many little thoughts she had, she did not dare to do anything to the Second Miss like Aunt He.

Aunt Wang never thought that it was because she, a little animal, would generally avoid the actions of ferocious beasts that she was able to live a peaceful life in the Zhu Mansion.

For her knowledge, Zhu Xuntao was willing to fulfill what she wanted.

Qiu Jian: "Well...well, I really can't say it."

Seeing Qiu Jian like this, Aunt Wang warned herself that her deep concerns about the Second Miss were not groundless:

"Send a message to the Third Young Master, tell him to be more respectful to the Second Miss when he sees her in the future, and never offend the Second Miss."

"Yes."

Zhu Shijie was slightly relieved after receiving the news from his biological mother.

While he was studying at the academy, his aunt never disturbed him unless it was something important, for fear of distracting him from studying.

After reading the content, Zhu Shijie became more and more confused.

Even if his second sister was going to marry Prince Xiao and become his consort, his second sister couldn't establish herself. What's the use of Prince Xiao being powerful alone? With

such a second sister, is it necessary for him to do what his aunt said?

Fortunately, Zhu Shijie is a filial son. Even if he doesn't think Zhu Xuntao is a character who cannot be offended, he is still willing to listen to Aunt Wang.

So he wrote a letter back to Aunt Wang.

"How can this be!"

Aunt Wang was so angry that she tore up the letters, unlike before when she cherished and carefully kept the letters her son wrote to her.

"The eldest and second young ladies are sisters. If she wants to plot against the second young lady, why would she drag the third young master into the water and make the third young master offend the second young lady?!"

Zhu Shijie told Aunt Wang about Song Zichuan in the letter.
