The God of War is killing like crazy

Chapter 150 I recognize my husband as my elder brother 10

After learning everything, the Duke of Zhenguo looked at Si Ying lovingly and said, "Yao'er has suffered a lot, but now she is finally back home. If you need anything in the future, just tell me and your mother. You are the legitimate daughter of our Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, just like your sister Ting'er."

Having said that, he looked at his wife who had not said a word yet, with some displeasure.

"Ting'er, this girl has been getting more and more unruly and naughty recently. Now her brother and sister have come back from thousands of miles away, but she hasn't come out to greet them yet. What on earth is she busy with?"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo beside her also reacted at this time. Seeing her daughter being called unruly and naughty by the Duke of Zhenguo in front of Si Ying, a country girl, she quickly explained, "Master, Ting'er was just so happy that she couldn't sleep when she heard that Yuan'er and Yao'er were coming back yesterday. As a result, she caught a cold at night. She didn't come out because she was afraid that she would infect us."

After saying that, she quickly expressed her concern for Si Ying and asked someone to hand over a gift that had been prepared long ago, behaving like a mother should.

Naturally, she intended to put the matter aside, and at this moment she no longer thought about setting rules for Si Ying.

The Duke of Zhenguo, who was standing by, naturally knew what his wife was thinking, but the children were there, and he could not accuse his wife of wrongdoing in person.

Of course he knew that his wife had lied to protect Gu Xinting, but seeing that his wife magnanimously accepted Si Ying and showed the care that a mother should have, he followed her wishes and let the matter go.

Gu Xinting was not sick at all, she just didn't want to come to greet Si Ying. She was the only legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion and had a noble status. Now there was another one, and her status dropped a lot in an instant. Moreover, this one was a wild girl from the country. When she thought about becoming sisters with such a rude and rude ugly girl in the future, she felt very upset. She had already thought about how she would be ridiculed by her sisters who were also legitimate daughters of officials when she took this wild girl out in the future.

Of course, she didn't know at the moment that she would be the only one to be laughed at in the future, and that was because she was stupid and had nothing to do with Si Ying.

After talking with the Duke Zhenguo and his wife for a while, the Duke Zhenguo asked Si Ying and Gu Chengyuan to go to rest.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo also stood up at the right time and took Si Ying to the courtyard prepared for her.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was still the same as in her previous life. She was used to putting on a show in front of her husband, the Duke of Zhenguo, showing that she loved and cared for Si Ying very much. Even the courtyard she arranged for Si Ying was no worse than the one in the mansion that belonged to Gu Xinting.

Because the Duke of Zhenguo meant that Si Ying was the same as his two children, the Duke of Zhenguo's wife of course did her best on the surface so that people would not think she was partial.

It was also because she was used to acting in front of the Duke of Zhenguo, showing that she was a good wife and a loving mother, that the Duke of Zhenguo always thought that his wife was an excellent woman. Just like this time, even if he adopted the daughter of an old friend as his own daughter and asked for the same treatment as his legitimate sons and daughters, his wife had no objection. So he loved the Duke of Zhenguo's wife wholeheartedly for so many years and never took any concubines.

Of course, we can only say that the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo is indeed amazing. She has been able to play the role of a good wife and mother for ten years without changing her ways. She has never shown her vicious side in front of the Duke of Zhenguo, and this was even the case when she treated the original owner.

When the Duke of Zhenguo was around, she was gentle and considerate to the original owner, just like a good mother-in-law. But when the Duke of Zhenguo was not around, she ignored the original owner completely and secretly ordered her servants to make things difficult for and bully the original owner. Even when she withheld things from the original owner, she was skillful and thoughtful.

The original owner had everything that Gu Xinting had, but each of them was several levels worse than Gu Xinting's. Take her previous life for example, she made clothes for both the original owner and Gu Xinting at the same time. Gu Xinting's clothes were made of the best materials and the latest styles, while the original owner Liu Muyao's clothes were made of old fabrics and the styles were also old. They did not look good at all on ordinary people, but the original owner had a very good appearance, so she could barely wear such ugly and inferior clothes.

As men, Duke Zhenguo and Gu Chengyuan did not understand these things. They were relieved when they saw that the two women had the same clothes. Moreover, the wife of Duke Zhenguo deliberately told them that the original owner liked this style. The Duke Zhenguo and his son did not dare to say anything, for fear of discouraging the original owner and hurting her feelings.

However, the men could not understand these things, but the women knew it. The original owner's clothes and jewelry were all the cheapest and ugliest. Because of this, she was ridiculed and teased by the wives and daughters of officials at the banquet, which was very embarrassing.

Gradually, she was no longer willing to go out and socialize, and stayed at home all day.

And in this life, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo is still the same, just like now, Si Ying followed her, listening to her sarcastic remarks all the way, and came to the courtyard she prepared for herself.

From the outside, it does look nice, and is not much different from where Gu Chengyuan and Gu Xinting live.

Once you go inside, you'll find a secret: all the ornaments inside look valuable, but if you look closely, they're all fakes, inferior goods passed off as good ones, the worst of the bunch.

Even the bed curtains and bedding looked like they were made of very fine fabric on the surface, but they were actually filled with willow catkins and reeds inside. They were completely incomparable to the natural silk bedding that Gu Xinting and the others had.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo thought that Si Ying was a girl from the countryside and didn't understand these things. Giving her a courtyard like this was already much better than the mud house and thatched house she lived in the countryside.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo naturally didn't know that although the original owner lived in the countryside, Uncle Ming gave her the best living environment and never treated her unfairly. The wooden house she lived in was clean and tidy, and compared with the official residences in the city, it was also elegant in a unique way. The bed and quilt that the original owner slept on were also made of fine wood that Uncle Ming had cut himself, and the carved wooden bed was made of. The quilt she slept on was made of silkworms that he had raised himself and made by a woman in the village who could make quilts.

It is even better than the quilt mixed with cotton that the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and her family bought.

So in the previous life, the original owner slept on a quilt made of reeds on the first day, and on the second day he had an allergic reaction and broke out in rashes all over his body.

And Gu Xinting even deliberately said that the original owner was a country girl who was too cheap to afford such good bedding.

Thinking about it, it was really hateful, so when Si Ying saw the cheap furnishings in the room, she grabbed a porcelain vase and said, "Mother, where did you get this defective product? Even the pattern is crooked."

"And this quilt has such a strong smell of reeds that it fills the whole room with a smoky smell."

"And this table, mother, the wood is too inferior. There are even cracks on it. It's much worse than the Nanmu table I used in the village. I didn't expect that the Duke's Mansion looks so grand on the surface, but it's actually in such a difficult situation behind the scenes."

"Mother, is the family really short of money? I have some here, you can use it for emergencies. I am fine, but I cannot be laughed at by outsiders."
