Chapter 201

Suyin breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, the young lady finally stopped rejecting people thousands of miles away, the name of her own master could still bluff people.

"I'm from the Assistant Magistrate Du's family, the young lady should have heard of it, right?"

So it's from the family of that scum...

Du Ruo hehe. "Heard of it, how could I not have heard of it? It's simply deafening."

Suyin: "..."

Why does she feel that this young lady's words are a bit yin and yang?

No, no, no, it must be her own illusion.

She leaned closer two steps, looked at that prosperous beauty, and smiled. "Excuse me for asking, is the young lady married?"

Du Ruo curled her lips coldly and spat out a few words. "None of your business?"

Suyin's smile instantly stiffened on her face.

This, such a beautiful young lady, how can she speak like this??

It's simply vulgar and rude!

She was also a bit annoyed. "She looks decent, but she doesn't understand etiquette at all. If I didn't know, I would think the young lady was born by a mother but not taught by a father."

Du Ruo laughed out loud.

"That's right, I was born by a mother but not taught by a father, my father died long ago."

"Who died?" Just at this time, Zheng Shi came back.

Du Ruo shrugged. "No one, just a beast."

Zheng Shi didn't care either, her gaze fell on Suyin beside her, and she asked puzzledly: "Who is this..."

Suyin's expression was still not very good, looking Zheng Shi up and down. "You are her mother?"

"I am." Zheng Shi nodded blankly.

Suyin sneered. "I really don't know how you taught your daughter, raising her into such a vulgar and ignorant virtue, it's really a waste of a good skin!"

Zheng Shi's face sank instantly.

She is the kindest and easiest to talk to, and she can't lose her temper with anyone.

There is only one reverse scale—that is her daughter Aman.

"My daughter is vulgar and ignorant? Pfft, what kind of thing are you? Is it your turn to point fingers here? You are the vulgar and ignorant one, your whole family is vulgar and ignorant! You don't even have a good skin!"

Zheng Shi put her hands on her hips and protected Du Ruo in front of her like an old hen.

Du Ruo tried her best to hold back her laughter, pulled her clothes, and praised: "Mother, you are so amazing, awesome."

Zheng Shi was actually a bit scared, she wasn't good at arguing with people, but for her daughter, she went all out.

"Don't worry, Aman, with Mother here, no one is allowed to bully you!"

Seeing that the mother and daughter were unreasonable, Suyin was speechless, too lazy to continue to entangle with them, and turned and left angrily.

She happened to bump into her master.

"Old Madam, that young lady is not a good one, she..."

Old Madam Du didn't even look at Suyin, pushed her away directly, and went straight behind her.

Because she walked too fast, she almost tripped over a pebble.

"Hui Niang!" Old Madam Du shouted excitedly.

The mother and daughter over there were preparing to go down the mountain, and hearing this voice, Zheng Shi's body shook violently.

Looking back, after seeing who it was, she couldn't believe her eyes.

Subconsciously wanted to shout "Mother," but when it reached her lips, she changed it abruptly. "Old Madam Du..."

Old Madam Du's eyes were red, she stepped forward and grabbed Zheng Shi's hand, saying choked up: "Hui Niang, it's been many years, how have you been?"

Zheng Shi pulled her hand back uncomfortably and turned her face away. "Just like that."

She had resentment toward Du Ren Mei in her heart.

But for this former mother-in-law, she couldn't hate her.

Since marrying into the Du family, Old Madam Du had treated her very well, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had never blushed or quarreled.

Even when Du Ren Mei wanted to divorce her, Old Madam Du had tried her best to oppose it and scolded her son.

It's a pity that once a man changes his heart, let alone an old mother, even nine oxen couldn't pull him back...

Seeing Zheng Shi resisting her closeness, Old Madam Du sighed. "I know, Renmei failed you, you are angry with him, and also angry with our whole Du family. But in my heart, the only daughter-in-law I acknowledge is you, this will never change."

Hearing this, Zheng Shi was inevitably moved. "Old Madam, why bother? I haven't been a person of the Du family for a long time."

"No, I say you are, you are!"

Saying that, Old Madam Du turned her gaze to Du Ruo on the side, her eyes filled with tears. "This child, presumably she is my poor granddaughter Aman, right?"

Du Ruo was indifferent, even a bit wanting to laugh. "You recognized the wrong person, your granddaughter Aman died long ago, harmed by your other granddaughter Du Mingzhu."

She was telling the truth, but unfortunately, no one believed it.

Zheng Shi patted her daughter. "Don't talk nonsense, it's unlucky."

Old Madam Du wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looking at Du Ruo eagerly. "Child, are you resenting me? That's why you won't acknowledge me?"

"Thought too much." Du Ruo rolled her beautiful eyes. "I'm not on the Du family genealogy, and I haven't eaten a mouthful of rice from the Du family, why should I acknowledge you?"

After speaking, she pulled Zheng Shi and left.

Although Zheng Shi felt that this was a bit inappropriate, she didn't say anything and followed obediently behind her daughter.

Until they walked out of Old Madam Du's sight, she reminded her hesitantly: "Aman, she is your biological grandmother after all..."

Du Ruo stopped. "In these seventeen years, has she ever come to see me?"

Zheng Shi was asked: "This..."

No, not even once.

"And where was she when Du Mingzhu poisoned me?"

Zheng Shi opened her mouth but couldn't speak.

That's right, Du Mingzhu poisoned Aman more than once, why did Old Madam Du never intervene?

Du Ruo laughed mockingly. "What a good grandmother I have, clearly not caring about me, this granddaughter, but insisting on performing such a scene of deep grandmother-granddaughter affection, for whom to see?"

After she said this, Zheng Shi also slowly came to her senses. "You mean, Old Madam Du has bad intentions?"

Du Ruo nodded. "Although I don't know what she is planning, there must be a conspiracy."

Nothing to show courtesy, either a traitor or a thief.

Zheng Shi's face gradually turned pale, and her eyes began to panic. "Then what should we do?"

"What are you afraid of, I'm here."

Du Ruo hugged her arm and smiled. "Anyway, Mother just needs to remember one thing, there is no good person in the Du Fu, including Old Madam Du, no matter what they say or do, just ignore them."

Zheng Shi hurriedly agreed. "Mm, Mother will listen to you, ignore, absolutely ignore!"

"I really didn't expect that young lady to be Miss Aman."

Suyin still couldn't recover for a while.

No wonder she had that attitude toward herself just now, it turned out not to be ignorance of etiquette, but resentment toward the Du Fu, and even not giving a good face to the servants of the Du Fu.

It was fortunate that it was so, otherwise, if she had said she was introducing her to the master as a concubine, it would have been even harder to end.

Old Madam Du looked at the backs of the mother and daughter leaving and sighed. "That child has resentment in her heart..."

And the resentment is quite deep.

Also, Jiang Shi and her bastard child did so many evil things to Aman, several times harming her to the point of nearly losing her life, and she herself ignored them, so anyone would have resentment.

"Old Madam, don't worry, Miss Aman is just angry for a moment."

Suyin persuaded. "When she knows the truth in the future, knowing that you didn't go to see her for her own good, the anger will naturally disappear."

Old Madam Du nodded. "I hope so."

Thinking of Aman's appearance, she suddenly laughed. "I always thought Aman's indescribable nobility was on Jiang Li, until I saw Aman today, I realized I was completely wrong."

"How do you say that?" Suyin didn't understand.

Old Madam Du stepped down the mountain and gave a cryptic reminder. "Think about the origin of the current Empress Dowager, and you will understand."

The current Empress Dowager Guo is not from Da Zhao, but the favorite concubine of the Emperor of the Qing Kingdom.

Forty years ago, the Qing Kingdom was destroyed, and the royal family was slaughtered, not a single one left, even the infants in swaddling clothes were not spared.

Only Empress Dowager Guo, because she was extremely beautiful, not only escaped the disaster but was also brought back to the palace by the late Emperor.

Later, she was favored without decline, all the way to the position of Noble Consort.

Until the late Emperor passed away, her son succeeded to the throne, and Empress Dowager Guo became the most noble woman in the entire Da Zhao.

Indescribably noble.

Suyin suddenly realized.

That's right, as long as she is beautiful, even if she is married, so what? She can still fly onto the branch and become a phoenix.

As for her husband Jiang Li, if he is sensible, it's fine; if he is not sensible, it's just a matter of life...

"By the way, Suyin, after returning to the mansion, go to the main courtyard and notify them, saying I will cook myself and let the couple come over to accompany me for a meal." Old Madam Du ordered.

Suyin said yes. "Is the Old Madam planning to do it now?"

Old Madam Du smiled. "If I don't do it now, do I have to wait for that poisonous woman to harm Aman to death before doing it?"

It would be too late by then.
