The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 147 Brother 6, Sister-in-law 6 Doesn’t Love You

Shi Mingzhen and Shi Mingkui were amazed.

Shi Mingzhen laughed and said, "You were dreaming, and you even dreamed about the specific date."

Shi Mingzhu just smiled and said nothing.

When things happen, the brothers will know that she is not dreaming.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Shi Mingkui changed the subject and asked, "What were you talking about just now? I heard something like 'good brother'."

Shi Mingzhu was embarrassed. She had never done anything bad in her past or present life.

She couldn't help feeling guilty, fearing that her brothers would laugh at her for being vicious.

However, if she could preserve the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and protect her family in this life, even if it meant being a vicious person and violating the teachings of truth, goodness and beauty that had been passed down for many years, it would not matter to her to be a vicious person.

Shi Mingzhen would not reveal his sister's little girl's little thoughts. Not to mention that Shi Yao had already been a hindrance to Zhuzhu, even if she was not a big hindrance, as long as Zhuzhu disliked her, he would help Zhuzhu get rid of the annoying person.

"Nothing, Zhuzhu just asked me to ask grandparents, uncle and aunt to allow her to attend the spring outing."

"It turns out to be such a trivial matter." Shi Mingkui said with a smile, "Zhuzhu is the most popular girl at the spring outing every year. She will be married in a year or two and cannot go out as she pleases. Now that she is at home, she can enjoy herself as she pleases."

The three siblings gradually started talking about other topics.

At noon, Shi Mingzhu invited his two brothers to have lunch, but unexpectedly, Shi Mingmo also arrived at lunchtime.

It turned out that he was afraid that the four women in Zigui Garden would drug him and squeeze his blood, but he didn't want to face Wang Fan's indifferent face, as if nothing had happened. He couldn't stand it.

I wandered around all morning, and at noon, there was nowhere to eat, so I walked to the gate of Lanpei Courtyard, limped in, and came in to eat.

His brothers and sisters, out of consideration for his dignity, did not mention Wang Fan or the three maids, which made him feel very touched.

After dinner, Shi Mingzhen and Shi Mingkui went about their respective business, while Shi Mingmo stayed behind.

Shi Mingzhu asked with concern: "Sixth brother, why do you look so bad?"

Shi Mingmo thought that his sister was also a girl and could probably guess what Wang Fan was thinking, so he complained to Shi Mingzhu.

He was a tall and strong man, with red eyes and tears in his eyes. He held back the tears for fear of scaring Shi Mingzhu.

Shi Mingzhu pretended to be in deep thought for a moment, without mentioning any offspring, and said seriously: "Maybe what I said is unpleasant to hear, but if it were me, I would definitely want to live a happy life with my husband, without anyone else interfering, not with concubines, not with maids.

If I take a concubine or a maid for my husband and push him to another woman, it must mean that I no longer like him and want to be at odds with him.

If I give up private things like the bridal chamber and the bed to make room for my husband and the maid, it must mean that I have made up my mind and no longer want to be close to my husband.

I heard that the old nanny was the one who made the beds and folded the quilts in Fourth Sister-in-law's room. Fourth Sister-in-law would not allow any young and pretty maid to serve Fourth Brother closely. This was how she showed her love for her husband.

"Sixth brother, think about it carefully. Did you offend Sixth sister-in-law in some way? That's why she is so resolute and leaves no room for her?"

When Shi Mingmo heard this, his heart sank. Tears welled up in his eyes and he quickly wiped them away.

"Is that so? I, I don't remember how I offended her. Maybe there is something I missed. Let me think about it carefully."

Feeling very bad for having lost face in front of his sister, he quickly made an excuse that the wind and sand were blinding him, and then said that he had something urgent to do, and left in a hurry.

Shi Mingzhu slowly put away the worry on her face and her eyes gradually became empty.

She didn't mean to instigate, but she was sure that Wang Fan didn't want to live a good life with her sixth brother.

No wonder Wang Fan got involved in the divorce incident last night and made her grandmother and mother faint with anger.

Sixth brother is a simple and honest man. He knows nothing about his past life. She cannot let the innocent sixth brother suffer.

?

Shi Mingmo left Lanpei Courtyard and did not dare to go back to the garden. In a daze, he passed by Fusui Courtyard again.

Fu Sui Yuan was bustling with people coming and going, and all those coming in and out were maids and servants on business.

It turned out that Zheng fell ill again, and the housekeeper's key that she had just taken back was not even warm in her pocket. She had no choice but to hand it over again.

Rong was fed up with Zheng's double-dealing. Helping him ended up bringing about his enmity, and she still had to endure Zheng's beatings.

Zheng was the eldest sister-in-law and the eldest branch of the family was extremely powerful. It was right for her to be tolerant, but she could not allow her to act like a mother-in-law.

It's just like this when you get along with people. If you tolerate her a little, she will be proud and arrogant, looking down on you. If you give in a little, she will resent you for being too demanding and not trying to curry her favor enough.

Originally, the two of them kept to themselves and had no conflict of interest, but now because of the housekeeper issue, the subordinates couldn't help but gossip and compare the two wives' handling of things.

Zheng was in charge of her own treasury, so she was naturally strict. She was afraid that someone would cheat her of money, so the rules were extremely strict.

Rong was in charge of other people's gold and silver vaults, so she was naturally generous with the money. If she was cheated, it was not her fault, so she often turned a blind eye and just got by. If her sister-in-law couldn't stand it later, she would deal with them.

Also, because she was not a proper housekeeper, the rules were not as strict as Zheng's.

Most of the servants thought that Rong was better than Zheng.

In addition, when punishing people around the masters, fairness is secondary. The most important thing is to look at the owner first, such as the last time with the shuttlecock.

Rong hated Zheng for slapping her in the face.

Doesn’t Zheng hate Rong for slapping her and her daughter in the face?

As a result, a rift gradually developed between the two sisters-in-law, and recently they have been secretly trying to show off their abilities.

Rong wished he had never taken on this hot potato, so he refused sternly, saying that he was incompetent and had not managed the business well recently, so he dared not take over.

Zheng treated the entire Duke's Mansion as her own home and could not let the Mansion lose its dignity, so she could only send respectable maids and nannies to beg and invite again and again.

He visited Rong three times, four times, and five times. It was not until noon when he found that the kitchen was several hours late for dinner that Zheng came in person despite his illness and presented generous gifts. Only then did Rong reluctantly accept the responsibility.

Zheng felt humiliated for a while.

Rong also felt a sense of injustice.

The housekeeper's wife, who was returning home, ran into Shi Mingmo at the gate of Fusuiyuan and pulled him in for tea.

Rong found time to see him, but was too busy to listen to his explanation. He reprimanded him harshly and scolded him:

"You don't want to learn good things, but you choose to learn how to attract bees and butterflies like that playboy. Now you are becoming more and more promising!"

Then he was kicked out.

Shi Mingmo was discouraged and wandered around aimlessly.

The cute and kind Zhuzhu is the most caring.

Instead of laughing at him or blaming him, he listened to him patiently and helped him analyze the reasons.

However, the reasons Zhuzhu analyzed were too heartbreaking, and he didn't want to be hurt again. Seeing that Wang Fan was slow to come back to find him, he hid in the rockery and cried for a while, then gritted his teeth and went back to the capital camp alone.
