Chu Zhixi quickly replied: "Yes, son, I remember it."
The old Duke reminded Chu Zhinan: "It's the same for you, your wife is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke of Huguo's mansion, and all the family affairs are on her alone.
You didn't like him very much when you were young, but now that you are old and have five children, you should stop being willful and reckless."
Chu Zhinan stood up and responded: "Yes, son, I remember it. Rong'er is very good and deserves your sincere treatment."
She gave birth to a delicate and soft fairy girl for him, and also dug out the poisonous snake lurking in the mansion, thus preventing many disasters from happening.
His wife is really good, much better than ordinary women.
When he was young, he did resent her for plotting against him, and he did favor the delicate and weak Liu Yiyi. Who knew that she was a poisonous snake, lurking in his house, waiting for an opportunity to bite her anytime and anywhere.
Thinking about it now, he was very scared. His daughter almost fell into her hands.
And the second brother was almost successfully plotted against.
If it weren't for my daughter, the demons and monsters would definitely hurt the family.
He remembers all the good things his daughter-in-law has done and will never do that again.
At the gate of the Duke of Huguo’s Mansion.
Du Junjun was dressed in plain clothes and a straw hairpin, like a country girl, and she looked into the mansion curiously.
She and her mother and brother had a good life, but three months ago, her brother got addicted to gambling and lost all the family savings, even the house deeds and land deeds.
That’s not all. In the end, he had nothing left to lose, so he actually bet on her.
She was taken to a gambling house and signed a contract to sell herself to pay off her brother's gambling debts.
She was very desperate at the time and thought that she would be treated like a slave for the rest of her life.
Unexpectedly, the man sent her to the capital and arranged for her to live in a farm in the suburbs. There was a very fierce old nanny who taught her many rules.
Finally, he told her: "Your goal is to move into the Duke of Huguo's mansion, kill Chu Zhixi's wife Yu, and take her place."
"Chu Zhixi?"
Du Junjun was shocked on the spot, she was very familiar with this name.
Her mother had told her more than once the story of how her father risked his life to save Chu Zhixi, the second son of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, and sacrificed his life to ensure a stable life for the three of them.
"Yes, Chu Zhixi! As his wife, you will have a bright future." The old nanny's cloudy eyes were majestic, "As long as you succeed, we will send people to take good care of your brother and your mother.
If you fail, there will be only one outcome, and you can decide for yourself. It is your good fortune to be chosen by the master and entrusted with such an important task."
Du Junjun was flattered and nodded in agreement: "Yes, I will try my best to do it."
"It doesn't matter if you don't work hard. I'll give you a year. If you can't do it, you and your two children will go to the underground and live happily!" The old lady stood up and gave her a meaningful look. "Take care of yourself."
"yes!"
Du Junjun lowered her head, with a humble and submissive attitude. She was then forced to swallow a pill and was led to the Duke of Huguo's mansion.
The person who fed her the pills was the fierce-looking old lady again: "This is poison. You must take one pill between the 10th and 15th of every month to relieve stress, otherwise you will die from a ruptured stomach."
She was terrified and asked quickly: "Where can I go to get the antidote?"
"It's Wu's Grocery Store on South Street in Beijing. Go inside and find the owner. You don't need to say anything. He will give it to you. Remember that?"
Du Junjun nodded vigorously: "Remember."
This concerns her life, how could she dare not remember it?
Seeing the tall and majestic gate of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, she felt unsure whether she could complete the task assigned by the nanny.
With a nervous mood, she went up to the doorman and explained the reason, but the doorman did not make things difficult for her.
He asked her to wait in a friendly manner: "Miss! I have sent someone in to inform them. Whether you can see our Second Master depends on your luck."
Du Junjun looked depressed. How could she complete the mission if she couldn't even get into the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion?
If she fails to complete the task, she won't get the antidote.
Without the antidote, she would die.
She is only eighteen years old, she doesn't want to die yet!
Please, God, have mercy on her and let her enter the mansion! The old nanny has taught her so many tricks, I don’t believe there is no way to kill Yu.
After waiting for a while, an old maid came out. Compared with the one who taught her before, this one had a gentler and more amiable expression.
It was Aunt Hua who came. After taking a look at Du Junjun, Aunt Hua knelt down and saluted her: "I am a little slow, and I am sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."
Du Junjun quickly returned the greeting: "Madam, you are too polite. I should wait a while."
"Come with me, young lady. The old lady wants to see you."
Aunt Hua politely led the way and took Du Junjun to the old lady's room.
Originally, there were only Chu Zhinan and Chu Zhixi in the old lady's room. Now Yang, Yu, Wang, and Chu Zhibei were all called over.
The old lady's meaning was very clear, she wanted everyone to come and recognize the person.
When Yang heard that another savior had come, she immediately became alert. How could the Huguogong Mansion have so many saviors? One left and another came, and they were all women. Could this person be arranged by Prince Duan again?
But she didn't say what she was thinking. She looked at Yu with sympathy, fearing that she would have difficulty dealing with Miss Du in the future.
He must have come here for a purpose. It is impossible for him to come to the house for no reason.
The old lady glanced at everyone and said earnestly, "The Du family's girl's arrival is strange. I hope she is not the second Liu Yiyi."
Her words were clear enough. Her sons and daughters-in-law should all know that no more accidents can happen in the family. It would be bad if it got out.
[Grandma! You guessed it right, Du Junjun is the second Liu Yiyi.]
When Chu Zhibei heard Chu Xiaoxiao's thoughts for the first time, he was stunned and stared at the baby in his sister-in-law's arms in shock.
Seeing no reaction on the faces of the people present, he felt even more puzzled. Was he the only one in the family who could hear his little niece's thoughts?
No way!
He, the third uncle, can hear it, but the eldest brother and sister-in-law can’t hear it?
Yang's face showed no expression, but she was shocked in her heart. Du Junjun was the same as Liu Yiyi? So she was sent by Prince Duan?
Prince Duan is so abominable, is this the end?
Why are you keeping a close eye on the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion?
"Mom! What should we do about this?" Yu asked worriedly.
Since it was about her husband, she was naturally nervous. Liu Yiyi had lived in the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion for five years and had never taken the initiative to seduce her eldest brother.
It is hard to say whether her husband's savior will seduce men. What if she is a vixen and makes her husband bewildered?
The old Duke glanced at his second daughter-in-law and said, "I have discussed with your mother that the girl will live in our courtyard when she comes. Second son, don't come to our place unless necessary. Also, remind the people in your courtyard not to let the girl in."
Seeing that her parents-in-law had made arrangements, Yu was relieved: "Got it, we will guard it strictly and not let anyone get close."
