Chapter 511 Meet the Old Man
Liu Rong has always been a smart person. More importantly, she always knew what to say and how to speak to reach Duan Zheng's heart.
At this time, the look of Duan Zheng has changed. She knew that Duan Zheng had hesitated.
Because what Liu Rong said is the truth.
He has been away for many years and doesn't know much about young men who are suitable for marriage in Beijing. Moreover, Liu Rong and his sister came from a humble background. Liu Fu joined the army as a teenager. When he grew up, he found this only sister. Therefore, from then on, his sister followed him for many years in the military, so there were no relatives at all.
If a lonely woman has no support from her family, she will become the only thing to be despised by the world. Not to mention anything else, even Liu Rong now, no matter where she goes, will be looked at by others.
So as Liu Rong said, what should he do to help Liu Rong choose a good son-in-law?
When Liu Rong saw Duan Zheng's expression, she stepped forward again, pulled Duan Zheng's sleeves, and began to plead bitterly:
"Brother Duan, as you know, people's hearts are sinister. I only have one relative, and you are the only one I can rely on. Let's take 10,000 steps back, even if you helped me choose my husband. However, how can others look up to a woman like me who has not received any orthodox education? So, if you just marry me, how do you know that I won't be turbid by Weng's mother-in-law? It's a small thing for me to be angry, and I know that my big brother will make the decision for me. However, at that time, don't say that Brother Duan has not been in the house for many years. Even if he is in the house, what can he do? How can you take care of these little things from parents, you are a big man? If I meet someone unfavorable, won't you ruin my life?"
It was Liu Rong's words that made Duan Zheng hesitate.
In fact, Duan Zheng was originally a decisive person, but since Du Qingluan left, he began to slowly reflect on his life and began to think about himself. Is everything he did before really wrong?
After saying this, Liu Rong hid in the corner and cried sadly. She cried that she had lost her only relative, and she cried that she had been lonely ever since.
Liu Rong's crying made Duan Zheng feel sad. Finally, he sighed and agreed to Liu Rong's request and brought Liu Rong back to Duan's house.
Madam Ding Rou is a smart woman and an understanding woman. Therefore, when she looked at Liu Rong's appearance, she understood the beginning and end of the matter. However, she just smiled faintly and gave Liu Rong the title of "concubine".
The status of "concubine" is higher than that of the maid and lower than that of the wife. However, in the Duan Mansion, there is no Taijun and no uncle and nephew. In the whole Duan Mansion, it is all supported by his wife Ding Rou. Therefore, even if she is a concubine, she is half the master of Duan Mansion.
Madame Ding Rou is very suspicious of Liu Rong's intentions. However, she knows better that what Duan Zheng can give to Liu Rong is only pity, not love, so in his wife Ding Rou's heart, as long as Liu Rong can keep herself safe.
However, Liu Rong has never been a satisfied person. As soon as she entered Duan's house, she began to show her goodwill to Duan Zheng.
At this time, Duan Zheng first lost his beloved and then lost his friends. Every day, he used wine to drown his sorrows. How could he care about these men and women?
Every time she is rejected by Duan Zheng, Liu Rong's heart will hate her teeth so much. Fortunately, Liu Rong can't get grace, and Mrs. Ding Rou is not much better. This section, except for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, must be in the wife's room, and all the rest of the time are alone in the study.
A frustrated man is the best to seduce and the easiest to take the bait. Therefore, after carefully dressing up, Liu Rong appeared with powder.
That night, although Du Zheng had been calling, it was Du Qingluan's name. However, it was Liu Rong who slept with Duan Zheng.
After Duan Zheng woke up, he felt very guilty. First, he apologized to Liu Rong, and finally, he was very regretful. In this very complicated mood, he dared not go to see Liu Rong again.
Madame Ding Rou quickly knew about this matter. Liu Rong was not punished, but she was completely neglected by her wife Ding Rou. There was almost no place for her in the whole Duan Mansion.
Liu Rong has always been a calculating person. Therefore, what she cares about is not the length of a day. Instead, take this as an encouragement to sharpen your heart.
Duan Zheng returned. Under Liu Rong's careful design, he knew Liu Rong's situation, so he was furious. Liu Rong was favored again, and from then on, she stood firm in Duan's house again as Duan Zheng's concubine.
Madam Ding Rou was very angry about this. At this time, she happened to be about to give birth. Therefore, under the anger and the provocation of Liu Rong, her body quickly weakened.
Duan Qingming was born in this situation. In order to ease Duan Zheng's relationship and for her long-lost sister, his wife Ding Rou named her daughter Duan Qingming.
Duan was very happy to hear Duan Qingming's name. He never made up with his wife, and Liu Rong was left alone again.
Liu Rong is a patient person. She never cares about the gains and losses for a while, as if she can stand up to this day as a concubine.
Liu Rong began to please his wife Ding Rou in every way. She just expected that his wife would no longer embarras herself for Duan Zheng's face.
At that time, Mrs. Ding Rou was a mother and spent all her energy on her daughter. She also began to become more tolerant of the woman who robbed her husband in the past.
Liu Rong is not in a hurry. Just flatter the lady. Until Duan Yu was born in the middle of the night and Duan Zhengyuan was in the frontier, Liu Rong took action.
Under Liu Rong's design, Mrs. Ding Rou bleed heavily and almost took her life, but since then, she has never got better.
At the beginning of March, Duan was returning from the frontier and saw his bedridden wife. And his wife Ding Rou finally ran out of oil. After she told Duan Zheng about the aftermath, she let go back to the west.
In the first two years, Liu Rong still carefully waited on Duan Zheng and often cried when she mentioned his wife in front of Duan Zheng. And Liu Rong used to be the closest person to Duan Zheng, so in the end, everything in this house became Liu Rong's pocket. And including the lives of Duan Qingming and Duan Yu.
Soon, Duan Zheng left the capital again, so Duan's house completely became Liu Rong's world.
Everything was originally perfect, so perfect that even if Liu Rong dreamed in the middle of the night, she would wake up with a smile. However, what she didn't expect was that when she gave birth to Duan Yulan, her body had problems. From then on, she began to pester her with illness, and it lasted for several years.
Although this is the case, Duan Zheng's time is not much. Therefore, Liu Rong is still Duan Zheng's most trusted woman and still the hostess of this mansion.
Although after Ding Rou's death, the Ding family was angry and asked Duan Zheng not to have a main room before Duan Qingming and Duan Yucheng's family, this did not change Liu Rong's status in Duan's house.
Duan Zheng agreed to the request of the Ding family without thinking and began to proceed without compromise. Originally, the two women hidden in his heart left him, so who else in the world can win his righteous eyes? Therefore, after explaining this matter to Liu Rong with a careless attitude, he didn't even comfort him.
From then on, he didn't care at all on the surface, but Liu Rong, who had begun to twist his mind, began to vent his anger on the young Duan Qingming and Duan Yu. This situation lasted until the rebirth of Duan Qingming. All this turned around and stopped abruptly.
How many years have passed, and when Liu Rong recalls everything in the past, she has a feeling of a ten-year dream in her heart.
The sound in the room is so familiar that Liu Rong actually has a sense of trance, as if she, Du Qingluan, and even Duan Zheng are still young. It seemed that she was not a mother at that time, nor was she Duan Zheng's concubine. She is just a little girl, often following Duan Zheng and Du Qingluan, secretly imitating everything about Du Qingluan.
