Chapter 237 Sincerity

When it came to the dowry, the old lady's face changed slightly. Her eyes trembled with anger when her heart disappeared.

"Miss, can you go and see your dowry now?" Yao's mother asked.

"For the time being, I don't need it. Anyway, the dowry is there, so I don't believe that the things in the dowry box have gone by themselves."

Yao's mother covered her lips and smiled. Maybe the things in the box really flew away by themselves.

However, this was not said to Xinrong, and Xinrong also knew that the things in the box had been moved.

When she walked to the backyard, she happened to meet a woman in her thirties with a food box, but the woman was very eye-catching. Yao's mother reminded the woman that she was the seal mother.

"I have met the ninth sister!" Zhu'er's mother squatted down and said, "Just now, when I heard that someone from the palace had announced the decree, I personally made a few pleasing snacks to celebrate. I'm afraid you don't like these things."

"It's a coincidence that I have no hobbies, and I like to eat with this mouth. You are right for my taste now. I just don't know what kind of snacks it is. Xinrong asked as he walked to his yard.

"I don't know if you like sweet or salty food. I only made four things!" Zhu'er's mother bowed her body to the side of the ninth sister, and her respectful look was extremely pleasing to the eye.

Intentionally or unintentionally, he said something to Zhuan'er's mother and soon arrived at the yard.

The painting fan opened the room first and let Xinrong go in first. Zhu Er Niang followed Yao's mother in.

Zhu'er Niang quickly put the food box on the table, took out four small plates, and said with a smile, "I don't know Sister Jiu's taste, so I made three different flavors, osmanthus hawthorn, cream chestnut paste, pepper salt sesame, almond paste."

At a glance, these four cakes were made pleasing. The almonds were actually made into a palace lamp shape, and the osmanthus hawthorn into the shape of ingots, which was particularly pleasant.

Although they were all good-looking, the first thing Xinrong took was cream chestnut paste. He only took a bite and put it down.

"This cream chestnut is delicious, but it's too sweet!"

She picked almonds again, but finished eating. She wiped her mouth with a veil and said, "I don't like sour or salty food. Give the other two to your servants."

Zhuan'er's face changed slightly, and the afterglow from the corners of her eyes glanced at Zhuan'er, as if she was questioning Zhuan'er. She said lightly, "Don't blame Zhuan'er. If Zhu'er didn't tell you my preferences, it was also my order. But you have made all these cakes carefully.

The mother said in horror, "As long as the ninth sister likes to eat, I will cook some food for the ninth sister every day."

A faint smile appeared on the corners of his lips, "You don't have to be restrained by me. I don't have many rules here. At least it's someone the old lady can trust, and I should be courteous.

Xinrong said this gently, but Zhu'er's mother became more and more frightened. She was originally a person next to the old lady. She used to work as a stew in the village and won the trust of the old lady. Later, Li's mother, who was in charge of the kitchen in the house, left and was transferred back to the kitchen.

It is also because of this that her heart does not pretend to say anything to Zhuan'er's mother. Since the old lady dares to let Zhuan's mother manage Zhuangzi, she has special trust in Zhuan's mother, but as soon as she came back, Zhuan's mother was eager to surrender. She didn't think about what bad thoughts the seal mother had. After all, the seal mother did it too obviously. If the old lady knew, the seal mother would have no way out. But can she use such a person?

"The ninth sister laughed. No matter how much the old lady trusts the maidservant, the maidservant is still a servant. Listening to the old lady, now that the ninth sister has returned to the house, the servants in the house also have another choice." Zhu'er Niang said cautiously.

The smile on Sister Jiu's face suddenly solidified, "Do you think the old lady and other masters in the house are not good?"

The seal mother was so scared that she knelt on the ground, "I'm not that interesting. The maidservant is just a servant. You can't speak ill of the masters, but the maidservant just wants to live a better life. The old lady is old. There is only the third wife in this house who hasn't returned yet except you.

The heart raised his eyebrows, so it was. It turned out that Zhu'er's mother wanted to follow the third wife, but now she just wants to perform well in front of her first.

Speaking of the third wife, there is a little smile in her eyes. She still has some friendship with the third wife, at least not as false as the old lady and the second wife.

"When you get up, I didn't say I would embarrass you, but I'm afraid that the third aunt and third uncle haven't returned to Xue's house so early. I will get married soon. Now you show your heart to me. When I leave the house, the old lady will pinch you. Say it in a hurry.

"Ninth sister, don't worry. I have inquired about it clearly. The third master will return to Beijing in two months. It's time for spring."

Her beautiful eyebrows beat slightly, but the news came quickly. On her way back to Beijing, she just received a letter from the third wife saying that the third master would return to Beijing to report his work at the beginning of spring.

She restrained her previous coldness and became a little more kind to Zhu'er's mother. "Yes, the third uncle and third aunt can just catch up with my wedding."

"I understand your kindness. As long as I'm still in Xue's house, the old lady will never embarrass you." Xinrong said lightly, "But there is one thing, please tell me how the sixth sister died."

The seal mother fluttered in her heart and said tremblingly, "I don't know much about this."

"It's just not very clear. As you say, there is always something clear."

Zhu'er Niang hesitated for a moment and said, "The second wife was present when the sixth sister died. At that time, the tenth brother happened to be talking to the sixth sister and was bumped into by the second wife."

"What are you talking about? Are you sure that the tenth brother and the sixth sister were together when the second wife went in?" His face turned pale. The tenth brother was with the sixth sister at that time, and he actually lied.

Zhu'er's mother was shocked by Xinrong's reaction and then said, "I dare not lie about this matter. At the beginning, the tenth brother and the sixth sister did be together, but later the tenth brother left, and soon came the news that the sixth sister had a bad disease and left."

His fingers trembled slightly, suppressed his emotions and said, "How do you know?"

"It was the maid of the tenth brother who told me that the maid beside the tenth brother was not now!"

His face became paler and paler. He met the tenth brother two days ago, and the tenth brother lied.

"I don't know whether to say something..." Seeing the slightly sad look in her heart, the seal mother said tentatively.

"Say it!" Xinrong felt that his voice was trembling.

"The death of the sixth sister is probably related to the tenth brother!"

He clenched his fist tightly and bit a row of tooth marks on his lips.
