Cao'er has followed the Fifth Miss since she was a child and has been taught to be cautious. She pursed her lips and said nothing, indicating that she heard nothing!

Xie Yinyun is still just a child, so how much weight can her words carry? Since she can't be persuaded, she has no choice but to shut up!

On the way, Su Qingling actually saw the carriage of Xin'an Marquis's Mansion waiting on the side, and saw his mother's face showing from behind the curtain, motioning for him to go with him!

The carriage jolted for nearly an hour before finally arriving at the gate of the Duke of Weiguo's mansion!

When they were almost there, a servant went in to report. So before the carriage had even stopped, the Duke's wife and several sisters-in-law were waiting at the gate.

Su Qingling got off the carriage with the help of a maid, waited for her mother to get off, supported her, and bowed to the Duke's wife and several aunts with a smile.

The Duke's wife hurried forward to greet the two of them, smiling and saying:

"Oh my, there was a magpie chirping on the windowsill all morning. It turns out that Madam Su is here too!"

Liu Yunjia raised her hand and pressed the corner of her mouth, feeling a little embarrassed:

"I've wanted to come here for a long time, but I had too many things to do at home, so I just finished them in the past two days! I just heard from my son last night that Ling'er was coming, so I was in a hurry today. I came here abruptly, please forgive me, Madam Duke!"

Yang Zhongxiu naturally had no objection. Since the last time he met Liu Yunjia, the two of them got along quite well!

I really admire the way she conducts herself and her conduct. We are only one or two years apart in age, and we feel a kind of mutual understanding as fellow travelers!

"Oh, I'm so happy that you can come. Come on, get in. The carriage has been very bumpy all the way. You must be tired. Let's go in first!"

"Su girl, you are pregnant now, you have to be careful."

Su Qingling didn't expect that Zheng Qingqiu and Zheng Zipei would come to the Duke's Mansion tonight. It was obvious that Madam Yang was thoughtful and called the two back specially so that she wouldn't be nervous with two more people of the same age accompanying her!

She liked Mrs. Yang even more!

So, Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Su and several elders walked in front!

Su Qingling was holding Zheng Qingqiu on one side, while Zheng Zipei followed closely behind.

On both sides were Xie Yinyin and Xie Yinyun, and behind them were a group of maids and old women!

Su Lijie entered the gate, bowed to the elders, and turned right to Zheng Zejiu's yard!

This place is worthy of being the Duke's Mansion. Although there are not many masters, there are about six to eight courtyards, and each courtyard is exquisitely designed, from the carved beams and painted buildings to the flowers and grass, all are ingenious!

If I don’t walk a few more times, I’m afraid I’ll get lost!

Everyone followed the corridor to Chunhui Hall first. This Chunhui Hall was really tall and wide!

An exquisite and elegant enamel vase is placed in the corner, with a few hibiscus flowers inserted in it, which adds some vitality to the dull-looking hall, and the smooth marble floor is spotless.

At the head of the hall are two large carved rosewood chairs, with precious blue-and-white porcelain and jade ornaments placed on the table behind them, and a majestic landscape painting hanging on the wall, which is quite artistic!

On the right side of the hall, there is a screen with eight panels made of golden nanmu inlaid with jade. It seems to have natural landscape-like textures. It is probably a place for women to sit and watch guests.

On both sides of the hall, there is still a row of carved rosewood chairs!

On both sides of the lower part of the hall, there is a pot of exotic flowers standing on a carved stand and being carefully tended!

The maids serving the emperor all have their own duties, and there is no chaos even though there are many of them!

After everyone sat down in turn, Su Qingling occasionally raised his eyes and saw that the envy and jealousy on Xie Yinyin's face who was sitting below was too obvious. Even the eyes of the maid standing opposite her were full of disdain!

Everyone was sitting together, naturally exchanging various pleasantries. Finally, Liu Yunjia stood up first, and Su Qingling naturally also stood up and walked over. Then she heard her mother bowing deeply to Yang Zhongxiu with gratitude!

"Mrs. Zheng, I came here mainly to thank you for saving my daughter in times of crisis. I have no way to repay you for this kindness. If you have any missions in the future, I will do my best!"

Su Qingling was also busy kneeling to pay his respects. If the Duke's wife had not intervened at Chongming Temple, he would not have been able to escape unscathed no matter how well he did. At the very least, his reputation would have been damaged!

"Thank you Madam for your help. Qing Ling will never forget it and will definitely repay you in the future!"

If it weren't for the fact that this girl was already married and pregnant, Yang Zhongxiu would have wanted to say:

"I should repay the favor of saving my life with my own body!"

Cough cough, overthinking!

"Hurry up, hurry up! I believe in Buddhism and good deeds will bring good results. I am also a straightforward person and I like to meddle in other people's business. Saving Ling girl is also our good karma. Now, I have a close friend for a long time and a younger generation I like. I am lucky."

Yang Zhongxiu was really happy and what he said was from the heart.

Her sister-in-law, Ms. Li, is about 60% similar to her daughter Zheng Qingqiu. She has a heroic appearance and a straightforward personality!

Wang is more like her daughter Zheng Zipei, with almond eyes, curved eyebrows, and a strong scholarly air. It is clear that her family background is based on literature!

Zheng's fourth aunt, Mrs. Qiao, was probably only about twenty-one or twenty-two years old. She was extremely beautiful, seldom spoke, and was quiet and reserved. However, her eyes were like the abyss, impossible to see through!

The Duke of Weiguo, Zheng Qichi, is the eldest son of the Zheng family. He has been stationed at the border. The second, third and fourth sons have all died for the country. This family of heroes has only two male descendants, one old and one young!

The honor of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion was won by the young and old masters of the Zheng family with their flesh and blood. That is real achievement!

Therefore, the young master Zheng Zejiu is now a favorite in the eyes of those unmarried noble ladies from royal families!

Xie Yinyin might not have come here without this idea in mind. Although she is only a concubine's daughter and cannot get the position of the main wife, she may still be able to be a concubine!

Last night, the lady called her over and told her:

"...If you have the ability to make the young master like you, then it will be your blessing. You should think about it yourself. If you really get along with him, your brother will definitely get help in the future and rise to prominence..."

Xie Yinyin had met the young master at the Xin'an Marquis Mansion. His cold and handsome face and tall figure had long been engraved in her mind!

She really did love him and really wanted to give it a try. If it really worked, her mother, who used her beauty to please men, would no longer have to be embarrassed by her affairs, and her third brother would also have a bright future!

Even though she knew that the lady was using her, she didn't care. As long as she could benefit, it didn't matter even if the actions were despicable!

Su Qingling didn't expect that Xie Yinyin followed him this time for a purpose other than herself!

At noon, Li Tongfu and Zhao Mingxiu also came and said with a smile:

"I smell the aroma and come to eat for free!"

So, when lunch was served at noon, an extra table was set up, separated by a screen in the middle, one side was for the women, and the other side was for the men!

After dinner, we went to the guest room to rest for an hour, and then went to the back garden together!

Xie Yinyin, who had been following behind, was secretly jealous.

She rolled her eyes and said to Su Qingling with pretended concern:

"Sister, you are so thoughtful to come visit your aunt even though you are pregnant. But the paths in this garden are not easy to walk on. You must be more careful."

Su Qingling thanked him with a smile, but a trace of vigilance arose in his heart.

After entering the garden, everyone chatted while enjoying the scenery.

Xie Yinyin deliberately walked beside Su Qingling, and when no one was paying attention, she quietly stretched out her foot and tripped Su Qingling.
