Qinghua nodded, “You weren’t in front of her, and you didn’t see that person’s face with your own eyes. It was simply… almost as black as the bottom of a pot.”
Really!
Shen Yuerong thought about that scene and laughed out loud.
"That's good! It's better if everyone gets busy. This way the mansion will be lively."
This general's mansion has been immersed in this for many years. Now is the time to liven it up, but it should not appear to be in such a state of decline.
"Why did the young lady ask me to give a jade bracelet to Madam Du? Such a good jade bracelet at that."
Qinghua feels bad for Shen Yuerong.
Shen Yuerong smiled.
"Silly girl, Du Wan has been following Fu Hengyu around all these years, and she has never thought about any blessings. I'm afraid he would not be willing to buy her a jade bracelet of this quality. But I have more than just this one, but I gave him the best one among them."
A woman who can even share her husband with others.
What does it matter that she took the initiative to share a jade bracelet?
"Madam Du's background... I'm afraid she won't be able to use it well. With such a precious thing, I'm afraid she will end up letting the young lady down."
"Of course not."
After all, what she wanted to see was about to appear.
——
In Du Wan's yard, the servant beside Fu Hengyu knelt on the ground and answered.
"Madam Du, the master said that when he finishes his work, he will buy you any precious jewelry you want."
"Give me everything? He was just saying nice things. I've waited for so long, but she still hasn't given me what she promised me before."
Du Wan's face looked a little ugly. People around her didn't dare to approach her easily. They could only watch her standing on the chair and throwing a tantrum.
"Go tell him that if he doesn't come back now, then you can't keep the baby in my belly."
Even the old lady couldn't stand Du Wan's trouble and sent several waves of servants to inquire, but the result they got was always that Du Wan wanted to wait for Fu Hengyu to come back and deal with it.
It's quite noisy.
Fu Hengyue used to stand by Du Wan because Shen Yuerong refused to let go of the money house, but now he just thinks Du Wan is too boring.
"Mother, no matter how much my brother dotes on her, she is just a concubine. No matter what, she shouldn't interfere with my brother's work. Why don't I take care of her for my brother?"
"Yue'er."
The old lady interrupted Fu Hengyue, "That's your real sister-in-law, and she's pregnant with your future nephew. How can you have such dangerous thoughts and only think about killing people?"
The old lady never expected that the two children she had neglected would grow up to be so horrible.
"I'm not...mother. I just think that if I allow her to behave like this and bother my brother day and night to deal with his work, it will inevitably lead to criticism. I just want to warn her on behalf of my mother."
Seeing that he was misunderstood, Fu Hengyue felt very aggrieved.
"She is just a girl from the countryside. It is normal for her to not see the world. If your brother likes her, you can keep her in the mansion. Otherwise, how can we have a child in this general's mansion?"
When the old lady thought of her child, she sighed again, "If it wasn't for the need to silence the gossips, I would never have agreed to your brother marrying that useless person."
The old lady was never satisfied with her daughter-in-law Shen Yuerong. Although Du Wan was not legitimate, she was pregnant with the general's children and grandchildren, and she looked decent, so the old lady preferred her.
"You don't have to worry about these things at home."
The old lady pulled Fu Hengyue's arm and looked at her figure. "Women in the capital have always considered thinness to be beautiful, but your body now... is a little thick, so you should pay more attention to it."
"Your brother told me about the prince's preferences, and he also said that he found out from your sister-in-law that the prince always liked well-behaved women. I have brought you up badly over the years. I was thinking of asking a nanny who is good at etiquette to teach you some good manners."
"Mother, my sister-in-law just handed over the family business to me a few days ago. I still have a lot of things to do. How can I..."
"I want those properties to come here just to scare Shen Yuerong. Besides, can you really understand what is written on the account? You might as well learn some rules and take care of your body. If you are really favored by that prince, that will be your blessing."
When mentioning Chi Mu, Fu Hengyue blushed.
"But...didn't the prince say in public that he once had a beloved person in his heart and would never marry a woman again in this life?"
"That's true, but look at what His Majesty and the Queen mean. Can they really allow the Marquis to remain faithful to a woman? There is no true love among men in this world. As long as you hold his heart in your hand, he belongs to you."
The old lady comforted Fu Hengyue and spoke again.
"In another year or two, you will be old enough to get married. This general's mansion... isn't too big, but if you want to be a good match, you don't have much choice. You might as well give it a try."
"If you can really get married to the prince, it will be God's grace to you and me. If not, I will find another family to arrange a marriage for you."
Fu Hengyue couldn't persuade her, and felt that the old lady's words made sense.
"Then I'll trouble my mother to help me."
——
When the etiquette nanny hired by the old lady entered the mansion, she happened to run into Fu Hengyu's returning carriage.
Looking at the nanny in front of him with a stern look on her face, Fu Hengyu was particularly worried about his sister. However, he was helpless because of the doorman's noise and had to go see Du Wan first.
According to the rules, the etiquette nanny should have met the old lady first, but Shen Yuerong asked Qinghua to stop her.
Shen Yuerong took out another dozen taels of silver and put them in the man's hand.
"Madame Zhou, you are an old man who teaches etiquette to women. I believe in your methods, but my sister is always afraid of pain and is not very serious about learning. I am afraid that it will make you angry. Please, for the sake of these silver coins, teach me everything you know and let my sister change her spoiled temper."
"General's wife is too polite. When the old lady invited me here, she already gave me some silver. I can't accept this."
"What my mother gave me is what she gave me, and what I gave is mine. As her sister-in-law, I always want to do my best for my sister. I don't have much money, so just think of it as me treating Madam to tea."
Nanny Zhou looked at Shen Yuerong with a smile on her face, and finally took Shen Yuerong's money and said, "Then I will take it first. Don't worry, I will give you a brand new lady."
"Then I would like to thank Madam Zhou."
Shen Yuerong then instructed Qinghua to take the person out.
The old lady is really willing to invest.
This Madam Zhou was a famous etiquette madam in the capital. She was an old lady in the palace of the previous dynasty. Later, she temporarily lived in the capital and specialized in teaching the children of each family the rules and regulations.
Even some of the concubines in the harem were created by her.
I just don't know if Fu Hengyue can bear it.
