Chapter 371 Du's Helplessness
Murong Jing looked at Madam Du and said seriously, "Jing'er wants to enter the palace and continue to be the companion of Prince Sui."
"Okay, okay, Jing'er, that's the right thing to think about. Tomorrow, grandma will personally send you to the palace. From now on, grandma will arrange a special groom and carriage to pick you up when you go to school. If you have any problems, just come to grandma."
Mrs. Du held Murong Jing lovingly in her arms and was not at all surprised by his choice.
"Jing'er thanks grandma."
Murong Jing struggled to get down from Mrs. Du's arms, and bowed to her politely to express his gratitude.
"Hey, Jing'er, be good. Let Nanny Feng take you back to continue your studies. Then you and your two brothers can come and accompany grandma at lunch time."
Mrs. Du touched Murong Jing's head. The hair she had grown for a year only reached below her ears. After it was tied into two small buns, she looked as pretty as a little girl. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
"Well, Jing'er listens to grandma."
Murong Jing bowed to Madam Du and Luo Yuyan before leaving with Nanny Feng.
"Yuyan, you heard what Jing'er meant. Don't act on your own in the future."
Mrs. Du glanced at Luo Yuyan and didn't want to say anything more to her.
"Mother, my daughter-in-law can save it."
Luo Yuyan responded hesitantly, then bowed and left like a young wife.
Mrs. Du waved her hands, indicating that she should do what she was supposed to do.
After she left, Mrs. Du closed her eyes and rubbed her temples.
When Nanny Feng came back and saw her like this, she hurried forward to give her a massage.
"Old Madam, please take care of yourself. I'm sure the First Madam just didn't understand the Third Young Master's matter for the time being. She will definitely not do this again in the future."
Nanny Feng was Mrs. Du's maidservant who came with her as a dowry. When the Marquis of Loyalty was exiled, Mrs. Du sent her back to her parents' home.
After Du returned to the capital, her whole family returned to the Mansion of Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness to serve her, and they were considered Du's confidants.
"Alas, in these few years in Youzhou, she has become more and more... Forget it, forget it. Fortunately, I am still alive. When Zhuo'er gets married, I will definitely find him a good wife."
Mrs. Du's tone was full of helplessness.
She has only two biological sons, but neither of her two daughters-in-law can manage the backyard of the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion, making it impossible for her to worry less.
"What the old lady said is true. The eldest son is a man of both literary and military skills, and he is handsome. There are many noble ladies in the capital, so it won't be difficult to find a suitable one for him."
Nanny Feng knew what was bothering Mrs. Du, and she also felt that she might have to work hard for a few more years, and she would not be able to rest assured until she handed the backyard of the mansion over to her grandson's wife.
"Well, it shouldn't be difficult. What's the second brother's plan?"
Mrs. Du had already started screening the families in Beijing that could match the Marquis of Loyalty, and then she thought of Mrs. Huang's family, so she asked casually.
"Madam, the First Madam did not arrange a carriage to take the Third Young Master to the palace today. The Third Young Master originally wanted to walk out of the mansion and into the palace on his own, but he was stopped at the gate by the Second Madam's people."
Mrs. Du always went to the Buddhist temple to chant sutras when she got up early, so she was not aware of what happened in the morning.
But if she didn't ask, Nanny Feng would definitely not say it herself, for fear of being suspected of provoking conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"So, this matter really was mixed up with the second brother's family?"
Mrs. Du suddenly opened her eyes and her brows furrowed.
"Madam, the Second Madam wants to succeed the Third Young Master."
Nanny Feng put down her hands that were massaging Madam Du, leaned close to her ear and spoke in a low voice.
The Duke of Loyalty's Mansion had not been restored to its title for long, and most of the servants in the mansion were those sent back to her parents' home by Mrs. Du, so it was not difficult for Madam Feng to know the news of the various courtyards.
"What does she want to do? Can she inherit the eldest son of the first wife just because she wants to? Since she has this idea, why doesn't she tell me?"
Mrs. Du's brows furrowed even more tightly, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes.
She was actually worried because the second son's family had no children, but the second son was still young. If he was still childless when he was over 30, it would not be impossible to choose a child from the clan to inherit his family name.
The second son's wife actually thought about it and actually set her sights on Jing'er.
Not to mention that Jing'er and Yue'er are twins and it is impossible to separate them, but since he is the eldest son, it is impossible for him to be adopted out.
It's not that she doesn't value the second son, but the second son himself got a daughter-in-law who is not presentable at all.
She even wished she was a wicked mother-in-law and divorced her second son's wife as soon as possible.
"I wouldn't dare to tell you if the Second Madam didn't come to you, but the First Madam seems to be easy to talk to.
Moreover, the Second Madam blamed the First Madam for her infertility. Judging from the First Madam's expression, I'm afraid she has accepted the blame."
Nanny Feng is a know-it-all in the Marquis's Mansion. She can tell Madam Du everything she wants to hear.
"Yuyan was taught to be very soft-hearted by her stepmother, and the second son's wife is a cunning person. Both of them are a cause for concern."
Mrs. Du was angry, but she also understood the personalities of her two daughters-in-law. One was difficult to teach, and the other said one thing in public and another in private.
She doesn't want to teach anything she doesn't understand.
If someone is inconsistent in appearance and reality, she can only criticize him more.
As for the matter of succession, without her and the Marquis's permission and without the clan's support, it would be useless no matter how much the second family thought about it.
Seeing that her mistress had made up her mind, Nanny Feng said no more and began to tell Madam Du about the latest happenings in other families in the capital.
As soon as Luo Yuyan returned to the courtyard, Huang came to find her. In addition to inquiring about Du's intentions, she insisted on taking over Murong Jing.
He even asked Luo Yuyan to find a way to support her family.
Luo Yuyan had no intention of refusing Huang's request.
Little Gourd was watching Luo Yuyan's video in the space and was almost angry to death.
"A-Mo's mother is so brainless, isn't this a typical case of being brainwashed? Oh, it's true that she is brainless. Huang has been brainwashing her for several years. I'm afraid her brain has been emptied long ago."
Little Gourd felt that Murong Jing was pitiful, and that it was better for him not to have a mother than to have one.
When I was staying in Xiangguo Temple with Chu Yansui, my life was better than now that I have returned to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty.
"Little gourd, what are you mumbling about? Say it out loud and it will make me happy."
As soon as Cui Jinyu and his wife left, Chu Qinshu entered the space.
"How can there be any happiness in the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion?"
Xiao Hulu moved to the inside of the recliner to make room for Chu Qinshu.
"We don't need to worry about other people's affairs. The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty knows everything."
Chu Qinshu took a look at the video and saw that it was still Luo Yuyan's, so she opened the booklet and planned to watch someone else.
"Little Hulu, have you found out where Ouyang Yue found the treasure?"
Chu Qinshu asked Xiao Hulu while flipping through the book.
"Master, we can't find out unless we wait for her to return to the Princess's Mansion and follow her."
When it comes to this, Xiao Hulu also has a headache.
The video only cares about the people, not their locations, and not much exterior footage is given. How can it find the location of the treasure?
"Little Gourd, has your brain also been brainwashed by that Huang? Think about the illusion we created for the Red Spirit Kingdom and the Yansha Kingdom. Didn't we designate several places for them?
Is there a possibility that the treasure Ouyang Yue found is one of those places?"
Chu Qinshu closed the book. She had been quite busy these days and did not take the treasure found by Ouyang Yue seriously.
But the location of the treasure is very important to her next plan.
