Du Yaoyao turned around and saw a woman in a bright red dress coming up to her with her waist and hips swaying. She had narrow eyebrows and high cheekbones, and looked charming and shrewd.
I guess this is the legendary Aunt Liu.
Du Yaoyao covered her mouth and coughed a few times, glancing at Chen Jie from the corner of her eye. The evil ones need to be dealt with by the evil ones, and she, the weak and delicate wife, will not take the stage first.
Chen Jie understood and smiled faintly, "Yaoyao is weak. I left her in the capital to recuperate in the past few years. Is that wrong?"
There was a smile on his face, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes, and he looked chillingly cold.
Aunt Liu took a few steps back and smiled awkwardly, "That's right, that's right."
Du Qing scolded Aunt Liu, "You are the only one who talks too much. Has the kitchen arranged the meals?"
Aunt Liu bowed her head and admitted defeat, "It's all arranged. I've been busy all day today, Master, please rest assured."
Du Qing and Chen Jie laughed, "These are some things that are not presentable, my dear son-in-law, please don't take them to heart."
Chen Jie twitched his lips, a hint of sarcasm passing across the corners of his mouth.
A woman who looked somewhat like Aunt Liu stood out, her voice timid and delicate, like the chirping of an oriole.
"I'd like to apologize to my brother-in-law on behalf of my mother."
Du Yaoyao felt really sick at seeing such a pitiful posture and voice, so she pulled Cuiniang and turned away.
She thought about the original owner's poor native environment, but she didn't expect it to be full of struggles and scheming. My father is a peacemaker and my mother is unreliable. Fortunately, I have a domineering personality, otherwise this shrewd aunt and her concubine sister Bai Lian would eat me up until nothing is left.
During dinner, Aunt Liu sat down at the dining table by herself, but Du Qing scolded her again that concubines were not allowed to sit at the table.
Du Yaoyao looked at Aunt Liu's skillful manner, and it didn't look like she couldn't sit at the table as usual. On the other hand, Cui Niang was sitting in the main seat in the hall with a frightened look on her face, glancing at Du Qing from time to time.
Although she had never personally experienced the palace intrigues of ancient times, Du Yaoyao understood them from watching them on TV.
In this mansion, the whole family sometimes does not care about status but only about favor. Whoever is favored is in charge of the household affairs and is the boss. There are many maids and old women who try to curry favor with him. A wife as weak and vulnerable as Cui Niang is likely to be treated coldly.
"Mom, eat quickly..." Du Yaoyao picked up a piece of steamed fish and put it into Cui Niang's bowl.
"Don't bother the young lady. I'll serve the food for the madam." Aunt Liu rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward.
It was normal for a concubine to serve the head wife at meals, but Cui Niang's body trembled.
Du Yaoyao stopped him, "No need, Auntie will wait by the side."
"Then the eldest girl should drink two more bowls of red dates and longan soup to replenish her qi and blood, so as to have many children and good fortune." Aunt Liu advised kindly.
Du Yaoyao was feeling uncomfortable because she was bringing up something that was not relevant.
"Yes, sister. You and your brother-in-law have been married for several years. When can you give daddy a little nephew?" Du Sese echoed.
Du Yaoyao put down her chopsticks and simply displayed her original owner's arrogance, glaring at the person opposite her.
"You are an unmarried girl, and you have such a long hand that you can interfere with your sister and brother-in-law's bed?"
This was a bit harsh, implying that the concubine's sister was coveting her brother-in-law.
Du Sese's face flushed, and she looked at Du Qing with tears in her eyes, crying aggrievedly, "Dad, look at my sister——"
"Yaoyao, Sese is still young, you as her elder sister should be more tolerant." Du Qing acted as a peacemaker and said, "Your sister is not wrong, you and your son-in-law are not young anymore, it's time to have a child."
Children, children, children! After only an hour or so of hearing this several times, Du Yaoyao suddenly developed a rebellious mentality and said, "I am not in good health and cannot give birth!"
