Manager Du knew that the Madam valued the young lady, and that he would be punished if he could not find the young lady this time.
So Manager Du turned his attention to the Zhou family. He only let the lady know everything the Zhou family had done, and let the lady vent all her anger on the Zhou family. That way, she could make up for her mistake.
While I was thinking, the Zhou family arrived.
Seeing there were just a few dilapidated blue brick and tile houses, with seven or eight chickens and ducks walking around at the door and chicken and duck feces all over the ground, Manager Du couldn't help but frown.
She had lived in the Shangshu Mansion since she was a child and grew up with the Shangshu's daughter. How could she have ever seen such a disgusting scene
Zhou Silang's wife, who was chopping wood slowly at the door, was feeling strange when she saw such a large group of people coming over.
After seeing the silk and satin worn by the fat woman in the front, Zhou Silang's wife's eyes widened.
My dear mother, such good material must cost dozens of taels of silver to buy it, right? When Miss Wang comes to marry in the future, she will ask Miss Wang to buy a set of such clothes for her and Jinbao Yuanbao.
Eh? Oh, by the way, didn't Miss Wang always say she was coming to our house? Could it be that Miss Wang is here
Thinking of this, Zhou Silang's wife kept looking at the carriage, as if she wanted her eyes to see through the curtains of the carriage.
Seeing this, Manager Du frowned even more tightly. What kind of people are these? How could the young lady marry into such a family
The villagers couldn't bear to see Silang's wife looking so disgraceful. Besides, the Zhou family was quite annoying on weekdays, so there were many people waiting to take advantage of the situation.
The villager who led the way laughed evilly and asked in a hoarse voice, "Sirang's wife, is your mother home? And is Sanlang here?"
Zhou Silang's wife glanced at him and said unhappily, "Whether my mother and third brother are here or not is none of your business."
The villager choked and said that the Zhou family were all annoying people.
Manager Du suddenly said, "It really has nothing to do with this young man. I just want to ask your family some questions."
Seeing that it was Steward Du who spoke, Zhou Silang's wife smiled and acted very coquettishly: "You are Miss Wang's elder, right? I heard from my third brother a few days ago that Miss Wang was coming, and we have even killed the chickens and ducks, and are waiting for you to come."
Manager Du also laughed: "You guys are thoughtful too. I heard that your third brother even divorced his first wife in order to marry Miss Wang?"
Zhou Silang's wife was not ashamed but proud. She nodded and said proudly, "Yes, anyway, Chen Mingyue has only given birth to a daughter who loses money in all these years. It just so happens that she is unable to give birth to a son, which is one of the seven reasons for divorce. If she leaves, it will make room for Miss Wang, right? This is also our third brother's true love for Miss Wang."
Perhaps Zhou Silang's wife didn't notice at all that Manager Du was talking about Miss Wang, not my Miss, and she didn't notice the villagers nearby who were watching the show with anticipation.
When Manager Du heard her words, his anger grew rapidly.
How could she, the eldest daughter of the Dingyuan Marquis's family, be treated like this
Perhaps the voices outside were too loud, and the people inside finally couldn't help but come out to watch the fun.
The first reaction of Zhou Huangshi and the other daughters-in-law of the Zhou family when they saw Manager Du and others was exactly the same as that of Zhou Silang's wife.
"Oh, you are my mother-in-law, right? We have been waiting for you for a few days, and finally you are here."
"Where's Miss Wang? Why didn't I see Miss Wang coming? Our Chengwen is always thinking about Miss Wang."
"Yes, Third Brother is thinking about Miss Wang so much that he almost loses his appetite. I just don't know when Miss Wang will marry?" "Yes, why don't we discuss the marriage today..."
As soon as a few women came out and saw Manager Du, their eyes lit up, and then they surrounded her in a circle, speaking to her in a very intimate tone!
Even though Manager Du was a very calm person, he was still made to laugh by the Zhou family.
Manager Du shook off the Zhou family woman's hand and said angrily, "How dare you! I am the manager of Marquis Dingyuan's wife. Who the hell do you think you can get close to me?"
The woman from the Zhou family was almost stunned by her scolding.
"Marquis Dingyuan's Mansion?"
Perhaps the status of the marquis was too intimidating to the rural women, the women of the Zhou family were so scared that they knelt on the ground and trembled like quails.
When the other villagers saw this, they all showed mocking smiles on their faces.
It's also the Zhou family's fault for being so annoying. Not only do they always like to take advantage of others, but they also spoil their grandchildren and make them have all kinds of bad habits. They bully other children in the village. Once you go to them for an explanation, they turn the tables and blame others. Over time, no one wants to get along with them anymore.
But the Zhou family didn't care. They always thought that Zhou Chengwen would become an official in the future and they would leave Zhoujia Village, so it didn't matter if they offended this group of villagers.
Look, all the evil deeds done in the past are now coming back to haunt me.
If someone had been willing to give them a reminder or two, they wouldn't have been so embarrassed.
Manager Du's face darkened, and he said dignifiedly, "Just so you know, we came here specifically to look for my wife's niece, Chen Mingyue, who was living away from home. As a result, when we arrived in the village, we heard that she had been divorced by you, and she and the young lady were driven out on a rainy day. I originally thought that there was a misunderstanding, and I came here specifically to listen to your explanation, but now it seems that what the villagers said is true."
However, the women of the Zhou family refused to hear anything. All they could think about was that Chen Mingyue was actually the niece of the wife of the Marquis.
Zhou Huang's figure was even more shaky, and she could hardly kneel steadily.
Chen Mingyue's identity was so noble, but they drove her out for a rich lady from a small county town.
Oh my God, what stupid thing did they do
Zhou Chengwen, who couldn't concentrate on reading in the first place, couldn't help but throw his book away and walk out when he heard the noise outside getting louder and louder.
Then, just as he walked to the door, he heard what Manager Du said. His head suddenly felt dizzy and he quickly held the door.
When a villager saw him coming out, he immediately said, "Hey, he is Zhou Chengwen."
Manager Du looked over and saw an ordinary man who was as useless as an embroidered pillow. His eyes were full of hypocrisy and flattery, which made him even more disappointed.
So she didn't want to waste time with them, and directly found the guards who followed her and said, "Catch them all."
