Chapter 189
After the second lady left, the eldest lady didn't immediately pick up the account book she was looking at.

Instead, he picked up a stack of rosters placed in the corner.

Jing Wu glanced at it, and if he remembered correctly, it seemed to be a roster of many aristocratic families who wanted to marry the Bai family, recorded by the steward in charge of entertaining visitors in the front yard in the past half month.

The eldest lady watched seriously, and Jing Wu didn't dare to disturb her.

For a moment, there was no other sound in the study except for the light breathing of the two, and the sound of papers being flipped by the eldest lady flipping through the roster in her hand.

After about a quarter of an hour like this, Jing Wu felt that he was about to stand still.

Only then did the doctor finally put down the roster that he had flipped through several times.

Raising her hand to pinch the person, the eldest lady showed a little bit of embarrassment, and she said with disgust: "It's full of crooked melons and cracked dates, and I can't get on the stage..."

At this moment, Jing Wu felt that her knees and calves were about to collapse. Seeing that the lady finally relaxed, she also secretly moved her calves to relieve the soreness.

It wasn't a big move, but the lady noticed it immediately.

Looking up at Jing Wu, the eldest lady couldn't help laughing, raised her hand, pointed to the chair opposite and said to Jing Wu: "You don't have to be so cautious, go sit and rest for a while, you are here to help me, not My servant, just do whatever you want without making any big mistakes."

Jing Wu quickly answered "Yes", moved his legs, and sat on the seat closest to him.

She no longer cared about what the Da Furen said, how much was true and how much was false.

Because Jing Wu is really tired...

She had been standing for a while before the second lady came.

After Jing Wu sat down, he realized that the eldest lady was looking at him with a blank expression on his face.

So Jing Wu grinned stiffly, and asked in doubt: "Madam, what are your orders?"

When the eldest lady heard Jing Wu's words, she smiled gently at Jing Wu instead.

"Jing Wu, you are very smart, but you have to remember that, except for the closest relatives, people are colluding with each other based on interests. If you can think of it, the second wife can naturally think of it. You are more aware of what they said between them, and Mrs. Zhou is not stupid, so she naturally understands who to turn to for anything."

Jing Wu, who had already sat down relaxed, froze instantly.

This kind of stiffness did not come from the superficial flesh of her body, but burst out from her beating heart.

Da Furen's words hit her heart like a dose of strong anesthetic. With every beat of the heart, the feeling of numbness quickly spread to all limbs along with the blood flowing from the heart meridian.

"I...", Jing Wu said, but felt that even his throat was numb.

The eldest lady smiled unabated, with a very kind feeling.To be honest, aside from the prejudice of identity, she really likes Jing Wu more and more.

The lady said: "Do you feel that you are a little smart?"

Jing Wu blinked and nodded stiffly.

"You don't need to underestimate yourself. At your age, you can deduce Mrs. Zhou's intentions from the second lady's words, which is already very good. Among the children of your age, I have never seen a child who is more thoughtful than you. Even if If it's changed, at your age, if you encounter this kind of thing, I'm afraid you'll just sit and denounce Mrs. Zhou with her second aunt."

"You just subconsciously considered whether Mrs. Zhou, who is even stranger to you, has any deeper intentions, but you forgot to think about whether the actions of the second lady you are familiar with also have some hidden deep meaning."

Jing Wu couldn't tell whether the words of the eldest lady were comforting, pointing, or both?
After being silent for a while, Jing Wu mumbled: "Jing Wu dare not compare with Missy."

Maybe Jing Wu should have met Bai Xian, the eldest lady of the Bai family, when she was a child, but now she has lost the slightest impression, but this does not affect Jing Wu's understanding of Bai Xian.When Miss Bai was not married, she was hailed as the head of the noble daughter of the family, and there was no princess in the royal family. Therefore, in Bai Xian's girlhood, Bai Xian was the most worthy daughter. Even the old man often felt sorry for himself. His eldest granddaughter is not a man, otherwise a Baixian could keep the Bai family safe for 60 years.

The eldest lady smiled noncommittally and said no more.

Naturally, she knew about the daughter she gave birth to, but of course she wouldn't mind what Jing Wu said.

"By the way, Jing Wu. The third lady's niece is that Sun Xiangming of the Sun family. Are you familiar with it?"

The lady's sudden change of topic made Jing Wu a little dazed.

After a while, she came back to her senses.

Jing Wu said: "It's just acquaintance, Ms. Sun is very good-looking."

It was so good that Bai Jitong was attracted, but if he couldn't get Sun Xiangming, he went around looking for a substitute who was similar to Sun Xiangming.

There was one Bai Ling who was taken to Anping Town, and then there was the "aunt" who was revealed on the day she got married and broke off the engagement. I heard that in the past few days, I found someone with eyes like Sun Xiangming.There have never been any women around Bai Jitong, and more than half of them can be regarded as Sun Xiangming's substitute.

Thinking of this, Jing Wu couldn't help looking at the eldest lady in astonishment: "Eldest lady, you don't want Miss Sun to marry the third young master, do you?"

The eldest lady neither nodded her head in acknowledgment nor shook her head in denial.

But suddenly he said: "When I was sorting out the roster just now, I found out that the Sun family had also come to express their intention to get married. The Sun family wanted to marry Bai Xianhua for Sun Xiangming's brother."

Jing Wu still knows the situation of the Sun family.

From 13 years ago, the third wife who was born in the Sun family would marry the third master of the Bai family like a duck, so it can be seen that the Sun family is really in decline.Even though in the past few years, the Sun family's situation has improved a lot due to clinging to the Bai family, it is by no means so good that they can marry a young lady from the Bai family back home.

Jing Wu was not sure whether the eldest lady was talking about Bai Xianhua's marriage or Bai Jitong's marriage, so he could only follow what the eldest lady said.

"Jing Wu thinks that this should not be what the third lady meant, and the fifth lady would definitely not agree to it."

Jing Wu didn't forget that the Fifth Miss of the Bai family had a very high spirit. When she used the heart-reading tears, Bai Xianhua wanted to be the princess.How can a person with such thoughts be willing to marry into a small family that has long since declined.

At this time, the eldest lady said with a half-smile, "You know Bai Xianhua quite well."

Then, without waiting for Jing Wu to explain, he continued.

"Jing Wu, if you rest well, go to the third room. I heard that the sister-in-law of the third brother and sister has been staying for a few days. Go and invite the third wife and the wife of the Sun family, and say I have something important to discuss here."

The eldest lady didn't explain much, and Jing Wu couldn't ask any more questions.

Nodding his head, Jing Wu immediately stood up from the chair, answered "Yes", and then blessed the eldest lady, and then exited the eldest lady's study.

It doesn't matter if you can't be sure about Da Furen's intentions for a while, time will tell her the answer soon.
