Second Madam said that when she marries into the Xiao family, Xiao Qing will be her Second Uncle.

The Old Duke of Xiao had successfully passed on the Residence of the Duke to his eldest son, Xiao Qingsu. He had brought his wife back to their hometown, Jiangnan, to take care of their family.

A few years ago, when the Old Duke and Madam had passed away one after the other, Xiao Qing came from Jiangnan to seek help from the Duke of Xiao. He was a full eighteen years younger than the Duke of Xiao and was only five years older than Mu Yigao.

Now that he had a personal relationship with Du Muzhou, if word of it were to spread, it would indeed affect her reputation. Thus, the next year, when Xiao Qing came to congratulate her on her birthday, she would always avoid him.

Jian Jia waited for Xiao Qing to come out before she gave the note to him. Before she left, there was a trace of pity in her eyes, "Second Master Xiao, our Miss said that after the birthday feast, she would personally brew wine to thank you."

Xiao Qing Qing was dressed in a clean and fresh white robe. A faint smile appeared on his face that was as smooth as jade: "Help me thank your young miss. I'm definitely going to drink this wine. "

After leaving the mansion, Jian Jia went to the escort office to look for her cousin, Tong Ren.

After giving some instructions, he handed Tong Ren a bag of silver and a brocade sack.

Tong Ren bought the best horse in the escort company and went straight to Du Jia Village.

Du Mu Zhou told him to bring the old doctor into Jiang Du, and also said that as long as he gave the brocade sack to the old doctor, the other party would definitely come.

The residence was decorated in red, preparing for the old mistress' seventieth birthday.

The old woman had three daughters, and they were all very well married. The only son she had was the prime minister of the imperial court, so every year on the birthday, it was exceptionally lively. There was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate her.

Du Mu Zhou also got up early and lazily sat on the stool, letting Linglong comb her makeup.

She hadn't slept well last night, and the events of the past were still fresh in her mind. She was afraid that once she closed her eyes, she would be back in the past.

In the end, he fell asleep in a daze, as though he had returned to that dark and gloomy dungeon.

She laid helplessly on the ground. Her entire body was bloody from being nailed by ten wooden nails. She was angry at her.

The sight of Du Ruanyu ascending to the throne and the flourishing Han Clan dukedom flashed before his eyes.

Mu Yufeng looked at her corpse coldly.

She seemed to be burning as she cried like a nightmare.

"My little flower." A deep and emotional mumble resounded in his ears.

Only now did Du Mu Zhou wake up, covered in cold sweat.

In the end, it was hard to sleep that night.

"Miss, Madam gave us a set of vermillion jade heads yesterday, they look really good, how about we wear that set today?" While speaking, Linglong opened the jewelry box, revealing the exquisite head inside.

This was the headquarter of the Mascot Pavilion. At the very least, three hundred taels of silver would have to be taken care of. The Second Madam was really willing to give it her all. It seemed like she had been holding back and was waiting for her.

Du Mu Zhou chuckled. She had told Du Ruanyu in advance that she would be staying. With her personality, she would definitely be worried.

After chasing her away, today was a good opportunity. She had to make good use of it in order to have the chance to truly stay in the Prime Minister's Estate.

She had let Jian Jia check the background last night, so there shouldn't be any big problems, but she hadn't seen the embroidery since last night. It was originally meant to create an opportunity for Second Madam.

"No need, help me bring that Ruyi set for me today."

It was hard to see Ru Yi Cui's face, and not everyone could bring her along, even the empress of the palace.

When she was a few years old, someone from the Xiao family delivered this set of hair to her. Under Du Ruanyu's instigation, she showed off her head arrogantly and accidentally broke a hairpin, causing the prime minister to lose his temper.
