Seeing Du Yaoyao coming, Du Qing left without even glancing at her. Du Yaoyao calmed down and walked slowly into the room.
"mother."
Cui Niang heard the voice and hurriedly wiped her tears, forcing a smile through her crying voice, "Yaoyao is here."
She put away the needlework basket on the table and covered it up by saying, "Mother has been embroidering for a long time. Her eyes are not good at night and she easily feels sore and tears come out. Yaoyao, don't laugh."
Du Yaoyao felt so sad that she almost shed tears. She originally wanted to ask: Did Dad bully you again?
But Cui Niang wanted to cover it up. She chose not to expose it. As a child, she always had to give her parents some dignity.
She followed Cui Niang's words and said, "Mother, your eyesight is not good, so do less embroidery and ask the maids in the mansion to do it. If there is anything you need, you can buy it outside."
Cui Niang took a piece of smoky purple material with butterflies and flowers embroidered on it and said, "Yaoyao, before you got married, you liked the skirts I made the most. It's the beginning of spring soon, and I thought you would wear them in the spring, so I hurried to make you one."
Bright purple and bright red were the original owner's favorite colors, but Du Yaoyao prefers light pink, plain green, and pure white. If it weren't for the festive atmosphere of the first month of the lunar year, she wouldn't wear a bright red skirt.
Du Yaoyao was moved by this sincere motherly love and held Cui Niang's hand, "Thank you, mother. My daughter still has a lot of clothes, please take your time, your health is more important, we are not in a hurry."
"Hey." Cui Niang replied.
Du Yaoyao thought of what Chen Jie had told her today, and said to Cui Niang, "Mother, I see you are alone at home and don't have many friends to hang out with. My husband is familiar with the governor of Qingzhou, and the governor's wife heard that you have a good temper and are good at embroidery, so she wants to get to know you. What do you think?"
"The wife of the governor?" Cui Niang was shocked and rubbed her hands together nervously. "But I have never dealt with this official's wife before."
"Of course not. Your daughter is a wife of an official, whose status is more noble than that of the wife of the prefect." Du Yaoyao joked and comforted, "I heard that the wife of the prefect has a good personality, so I think she will get along well with you. She comes to our house once or twice a month, and you can just entertain her as usual and treat her as a close friend."
Before she got married, Cui Niang mostly helped with housework at home and rarely interacted with other girls of her age. After marriage, she was trapped in the backyard of the Du family, where she was often seen with the concubines. Becoming increasingly taciturn.
But she was not ignorant of the ways of the world and did not understand her daughter's painstaking efforts.
The Qingzhou prefect gave Du Qing some face when he saw him, and Du Qing tried to curry favor with the prefect. She made friends with the wife of the prefect, so Du Qing and Aunt Liu would have to think twice before bullying her again.
Cui Niang nodded, accepting the good intention, "Yaoyao, I will listen to you in everything."
Du Yaoyao smiled happily and sighed sincerely: Chen Jie finally did a great job!
He had a bad relationship with the original owner and had not come to Qingzhou for three years, let alone taking care of the original owner's family affairs. Now that she was worried about Cui Niang, Du Yaoyao felt happy that Chen Jie could take the initiative to relieve her worries.
No one has the responsibility or obligation to do anything for you, not even your spouse or parents. If they do something for you, it is a favor; if they don’t do anything, it is their duty.
She attributed this to the intimate relationship she had with Shen Jie.
When resting at night, Du Yaoyao slept close to Cui Niang, feeling the thin but warm embrace of her mother.
She couldn't sleep because she was worried.
