Chapter 72

The Duke of England is the residence of Zhang Fu, the benchmark figure among the Ming Dynasty’s honorary relatives.

Early in the morning, the maids and servants in the Duke's mansion received a warning.

——Be careful today, don’t lose face of the Duke’s Mansion, otherwise you will never be able to care about friendship for several lifetimes.

"I heard that my second aunt is coming back to visit her relatives, and my second aunt is also here."

"Well, let me tell you, my second aunt's wife broke out from the family back then, and she was so angry that she called the second and third masters and removed her from the household registration!"

"Why is Mrs. Second Aunt back? And the attitude of the mansion is not about expelling the household!"

Two maids were taking the opportunity to gossip. One of them had a red mole on the corner of his mouth and said mysteriously: "You are old news, do you know? The Duke of the State later heard about this and wrote a letter to scold the eldest lady. Didn't you see that it's all the second lady in the house now?"

"Oh! So that's how it is! I said why is it so grand today? It turns out that I want to compensate my second aunt!"

There has never been a lack of gossip in the mansion, but today there are a lot of them.

When Fang Xing rode a horse and escorted Zhang Shuhui to the gate of the Duke of England's mansion, two rows of servants were already lined up to welcome him.

"Open the side door!"

A manager came out of the gate. He first ordered someone to open the side door, then walked over, bowed and said, "I have met my second son-in-law, the old lady and wife have been waiting for a long time."

Fang Xing nodded and said to Xin Laoqi behind him: "Take them to rest and be careful."

Xin Laoqi responded: "Don't worry, young master, I will never lose face of our Fang family."

It was also very strange today. The people on both sides were close relatives, but they all made a show, and Fang Xing brought out all ten servants.

"Second aunt, please."

The side door opened, and Fang Xing walked in with the carriage. As for entering through the side door, instead of the main door, he didn't think there was anything wrong.

The main entrance of the Duke of England is usually closed and will only be opened when the imperial edict is announced or when there is a major event.

Some people in later generations stood up for Lin Daiyu, thinking that the Jia family did not open the main door to greet him, thinking that this was a contempt.

In fact, this is not the case. If the Jia family opened the main door to greet him, it would probably be that everyone in the capital would laugh at his family for flattering the Yan Yan Censor.

Without talking, Fang Xing was caught by Xue Huamin as soon as he entered the door. He led Fang Xing to see the old lady.

It seems that this Xue Huamin has a great status in the Zhang family!

Seeing Xue Huamin bringing him into the backyard skillfully, Fang Xing thought about it in his heart.

But in front of a door in the backyard, Xue Huamin couldn't get in, but was led by a maid.

After entering this gate, there are winding paths and beautiful scenery everywhere.

Fang Xing compared this place with his residence and concluded that his current residence is affordable housing, while the Duke Mansion is a super invincible luxury mansion with sea view.

Although it was only early spring, there was still no shortage of colorful flowers in the Duke's mansion. Fang Xing's eyes turned around and then took them back because he noticed that the maid who led the way was always observing him carefully.

After walking through a corridor and entering a small garden, a separate courtyard appeared in front of you.

This is the residence of Wang, the widow of Duke Rong and the mother of Duke England.

There were several maids standing at the door. After seeing Fang Xing, someone immediately went in to report.

Zhang Shuhui was also brought here by someone. The couple looked at each other and gave each other a comforting smile.

"Second aunt, second aunt, old lady, please invite me."

Fang Xing walked over, reached out and held Zhang Shuhui's little hand. With the dull eyes of the maids, Shiran followed into the courtyard.

"Oh! Still holding hands?"

When the old lady heard her own people say this, she smiled and said, "This young couple is just getting married, it's time to mix oil in honey. Don't make fun of you."

As he was talking, the person had already come in.

He bowed and called his mother and mother-in-law. These are the destined meanings, and then he woke up and took his leave.

After Fang woke up, the old lady looked at Zhang Shuhui who was a little calm and sighed: "Your biological mother passed away due to illness back then, and you were still a child at that time. Later, your father sent you to me for a few years. At that time, you had a distorted personality and gave me a lot of fun."

Zhang Shuhui lowered her head and said, "Mother, I still remember the things I did when I was young. Thank you for your care back then."

After the greetings, the old lady gave her congratulatory gifts, all of which were made of jewelry, and finally gave her a wooden box.

Zhang Shuhui took her leave and then went to the second wife's place.

Fang Xing was being received by Xue Huamin, and the two of them were having tea and chatting, but Zhang Shuhui had already seen someone she didn't want to see.

On the way to the second wife's residence, Zhang Shuhui saw the eldest wife Li.

Li was supported by two maids. When he saw Zhang Shuhui, he sneered: "Mrs. Second Aunt is passing by but not entering!"

Zhang Shuhui said happily: "My sister-in-law has been reduced over the years, which shows that she has worked hard for the Duke's Mansion. When my brother comes back, he should comfort her with a virtuous wife."

The two of them had a sharp edge in their words, and finally the eldest lady snorted coldly, turned around and left.

When I arrived at the second wife, my sister-in-law and sister-in-law became much more intimate.

The young second wife pulled Zhang Shuhui on Hu's bed and sighed: "You were so brave back then, but now I feel relieved when I see you having a happy life."

The second wife is Zhang Fu who specializes in marrying and giving birth to a son and working as a part-time housekeeper. Over the past few years, her status in the mansion has also risen sharply, so she dares to say these words.

Seeing the wooden box, the second lady smiled and said, "The old lady still cares about you, otherwise no one would easily get good things from her."

“What is here?”

Zhang Shuhui wanted to open it and take a look, but was stopped by her second wife. Then she changed the subject and forgot it.

After Zhang Shuhui left, the second wife sighed: "My sister-in-law, we all thought she would be lonely for the rest of her life, but we didn't expect that she would fall into a lucky nest now, but I am still there..."

The companion next to him also said, "Who said no? The second aunt rushed out of the house back then. Fortunately, the wife of the wife sent a few guards and a woman to protect her. Otherwise, let alone going to Peking, I guess she wouldn't even be able to get out of Jinling."

The second lady touched her belly and said, "It's all women, why bother to make things difficult for you?"

When the accompanying room saw this action, his eyes were gloomy and he comforted: "Don't worry! Look, the second aunt's wife has been married for half a year, but there is no good letter to come!"

The second lady looked at the door blankly: "It's different! Although the Duke of the State did not say it, I know he has been looking forward to having a healthy legitimate son!"

"And my sister-in-law's life is much better."

When the maid who was passing the message said that Zhang Shuhui was led into the door by Fang Xing, the second wife was a little envious.

"Nothing can compare to the love between husband and wife, women..."
