"How come?"

"Who knows? However... when I was still in the Duke's Mansion, I did hear about something. I don't know if it's true or not. It's just gossip from the elders, so it's not good to spread it around."

Sanlang's wife is quite good at keeping people in suspense, and Du Jingyi is happy to cooperate.

"Good sister-in-law, don't hide a few words from me."

"That's what I said. That's what I said."

Then he looked at Yingtao and saw that she was lowering her head as if she was absent-minded. Then Sanlang's wife spoke.

"It seems that Second Aunt has always been beaten by Second Uncle, and the beatings are not light."

When she reminded him of this, Du Jingyi suddenly remembered the scene when the five families ran to the East Garden to make trouble because of Shang Qinnan's marriage.

She had seen bruises on Guo's hands before, but she didn't think of this at the time. Now, she frowned when she heard about it.

"Beat someone? Can this second uncle really do that? If he hits a woman in the backyard, wouldn't it be a joke if it gets out?"

After hearing this, Sanlang's wife said nothing more.

Although she was not used to such behavior, she had developed the habit of keeping a low profile over the years. The second uncle's family from the fifth house did not have any direct conflict with her, so she would just pass on the message and would not make random comments.

Seeing that Du Jingyi looked a little unhappy, Sanlang's wife said comfortingly.

"Not every woman can find a good husband when she gets married. For those like my second aunt who don't have a son, life in the backyard will always be difficult."

These words reminded Du Jingyi of his mother.

Although Daddy loved her and her two daughters like treasures, he could not stand the gossip of outsiders. After so many years, even though they had children, there were still people outside saying that their Du family would have no descendants. So Du Jingyi suddenly felt a little pity for the timid Guo.

He sighed and said.

"Since he's sick, I'll find a day to have someone take a look at him. After all, he's a relative, so I can't just ignore him."

Regardless of the consequences, this couple has done this kind of thing many times.

Sanlang's wife thought so in her heart, but she still said with a smile on her face.

"Young Madam is kindhearted. If you don't mind, I can make this trip. When I lived in the Duke's Mansion, I got along well with my second aunt. She was also very kind to my children."

Although she lived a very poor life, she would cook some food for the children from time to time. In this respect, Sanlang's wife still remembered the kindness of her second aunt Guo.

Du Jingyi nodded, she meant the same thing.

Sanlang's wife is very meticulous. If she knew that there was something fishy about Shang Qinnan, she would definitely investigate it secretly. Then she could take advantage of the situation and leak out the matter of changing her name.

If I want to use this knife to stab someone in the future, I’ll have help.

After getting the answer he wanted, Du Jingyi didn't say anything more. He just chatted with Sanlang's wife about some trivial matters at home for a while.

Halfway through, Tai Ge'er woke up and wanted to look for her, his mother. Sanlang's wife also saw Tai Ge'er again, but because Tai Ge'er had rarely seen her, he did not recognize Sanlang's wife.

Sanlang's wife wanted to hug him, but Taige'er couldn't resist, so she didn't force him.

After sitting for a while, he left with the things Du Jingyi gave him.

Seeing that the carriage was empty when it came and full when it left, Sanlang's wife was filled with emotion.

I always think about managing my life well and putting more thought into the upbringing of my children.

Even though she couldn't live like this, it didn't mean her children couldn't either. If they got some chance to rise to prominence, it would be her blessing.

So, she said to the maid next to her.

"Go back and divide the things. Don't delay sending them to the fifth room. It's better to give them there when you have time."

"Yes, ma'am."

Afterwards, Sanlang's wife closed her eyes and rested.

After she left, Du Jingyi called the spy that her husband Shang Ji had left for her and gave him instructions.

"Find out about the fifth house Guo's situation, as well as her family members. The more detailed the better."

"yes."

Although Du Jingyi felt sorry for Guo's situation, it didn't mean that she would be soft-hearted and let go of this opportunity. Since her daughter had married into Prince Min's Palace, it seemed that she would stand on the side of the Fourth Prince.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

People with different ideals cannot work together. Maybe this incident will become a weapon for them to control Prince Min's Mansion in the future, because according to Du Jingyi's intuition, she can see that Shang Qinnan is not an easy person to deal with.

It's just because he is young and the situation at home is like this. Otherwise, if you really talk about it, it's possible that Shang Liuniang from the third room is not as cruel as her.

Looking at Tai Ge'er's innocent smile, Du Jingyi was planning a lot of dark things in his heart.

The days pass by, nothing new.

It's just that there are more surprises surrounding Tai Ge'er's growth.

I don't know if it's because the child eats a lot of complementary foods, so his body is particularly strong. The child showed signs of wanting to crawl when he was just over five months old.

It's fun to move and push.

The fourth aunt even joked that she was like a bullfrog that had not yet learned to use its hands and feet, wanting to jump but unable to do so. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu clenched her fists and said that she would beat the fourth aunt to vent her anger for her great-grandson.

Du Jingyi next to him also laughed so hard that he fell backwards. The more he watched, the more he felt that his fourth aunt's words were apt and made a lot of sense!

It was already the end of September.

Mrs. Du came over happily and delivered the invitation personally.

"The harvest is good this year, so Tangtang's father said he wanted to hold an autumn banquet. It's called a banquet, but it can't compare to the banquets of the noble families. They are just farm products from the fields. They can be served on the table after a simple preparation. But they are fresh, so I specially sent an invitation. If you, old lady, have time, you can also go and take a look. It's just for fun."

The Du family holds an autumn banquet, which is a tradition that has been going on for more than ten years.

Most households would celebrate a good harvest before the New Year, but the Du family did the opposite. After the Autumn Banquet, they were basically semi-idle throughout the winter.

In the words of Mr. Du, people are like the land. Only when they have a good rest in the winter can they produce good buds in the spring. Therefore, being a tenant farmer of the Du family is quite fortunate. You can have two or three months of leisure time throughout the year.

Either I go hunting or make some handicrafts and go to the market in town. In this way, I can save some money in a year, and I will be more grateful for the Du family's kindness. I will naturally continue to work hard next year.
