Chapter 375 After the Separation

"The dowry list that Sixth Sister-in-law prepared for me was too much. When I took it, even my mother-in-law and husband were a little surprised. They thought that Sixth Brother was worried about me and took half of the property of the General's Mansion to accompany him. They were also thinking about whether to give me more betrothal gifts!"

Xue Niang's words made Sister-in-law Liu also remember with a smile.

In fact, let alone the people of the Guo family, even the Duke's Mansion would marry off a daughter with about this amount, so she knew that Du Jingyi was rich before, but it was just an idea, not very specific.

But it was not until she saw the dowry list that she understood what overwhelming wealth meant.

No wonder she lived a comfortable and confident life in the Duke's Mansion for those few years. With such a background and wealth, she could live a good life even if she didn't marry into the Duke's Mansion.

"When a woman gets married, this dowry list is the basis of her confidence. You are the only daughter of your mother-in-law and the only sister of your husband. As sisters-in-law, we naturally have to care about you. I was delayed in Jinling City by several children and could not go back. It was all done by my eldest sister-in-law. She is the one who is tired, so I have to thank her a lot."

"Thank you, thank you, Sixth sister-in-law is the same as my eldest sister-in-law, I have to thank you."

"This little girl has learned to be a little slick now. She only said thank you, but where is the thank-you gift? Why didn't I see it?"

The eldest sister-in-law teased Xue Niang and stretched out her hand by the way. That look made everyone present laugh.

"Thank-you gift? Wait until the eldest sister-in-law and the sixth sister-in-law return to Sui'an City to fulfill it. Then I will definitely give you a surprise."

"What surprise?"

"It's not a surprise if you say it out loud, right? Wait and see, eldest sister-in-law."

It was mysterious, but the eldest sister-in-law didn't really force it. After talking for a while, the few people dispersed.

The next day, Xue Niang and Guo Silang set off early in the morning to return to Sui'an City. Jinling City was still as peaceful and prosperous as ever. The only thing that caused some trouble was that there was a rumor outside that an unusual person had come to the Tong family, and he seemed to be very powerful.

Even the people from the Gu family and the Wang family went to see him.

Unfortunately, it was not long after such words came out that they were dispersed by the people from the Su family, the Xing family, the Wang family and the Gu family. Especially Mrs. Xing, she said quite calmly.

"Isn't it just a blonde and blue-eyed girl? I have seen red-haired and blue-eyed girls in Sui'an City. There are also those with black bodies, white skin, or dark and small ones. There are all kinds of things. Those powerful families are not as ignorant as us to talk about it everywhere."

Her words slapped the Tong family in the face. They had originally thought of using the missionary to stir up trouble, but now there is no such opportunity.

So she secretly hated Madam Xing to the core, but her mother's family was strong and her husband's family was also strong, so she had no chance to find fault and could only swallow her anger.

Time passed in a flash, and March had passed.

The autumn rain in Jinling City did not come as cleanly as in Sui'an City, but it continued for several days, making the already humid and hot weather even stickier.

Not to mention the children, even Du Jingyi felt that if she didn't wash every day, she would feel wet and moldy all over her body.

On this day, she got into the bucket early one hour after dinner.

The water temperature was not as hot as in winter, and the warm flow made Du Jingyi feel much more relaxed.

Cherry helped her bathe. In the past few months, they had worked hard to nourish their young lady, so now it seems that except for a little bit of fat on her belly, other parts have almost recovered.

Because she had been in confinement and had been out less, her skin had become even whiter and tenderer.

When she was placed in the warm water bucket, it seemed to glow from a distance. Cherry wiped her and said.

"Young Madam is now fully recovered. How about I change a scented lotion for you? The scented lotion was sent by Madam. It is said that it can make your skin more elastic. Haven't you always been angry about the fat on your belly? Do you want to try it?"

"When did mother send it?"

"After lunch, you were resting, so I put it away first."

"Okay, then use it later. Hurry up and take back the fat. Otherwise, your waist will not be visible and your clothes will not look as good as before."

Du Jingyi is now a woman who has just reached 20 years old. Although she is already a mother of four children, she has never suffered any hardships, so naturally she still has some delicate girlish temperament.

Of course, she paid more attention to her appearance and figure, which she always treated carefully, otherwise she would not have lost weight in such a short time.

Her speed and perseverance made Mrs. Du laugh at her twice.

"Your husband is not around, and no one can see you losing weight."

"My daughter wants to return to normal, not just for others to see. When she looks at herself in the mirror, she will always be happier if she is thinner, so for her own mood, it is better to lose weight."

Seeing this, Mrs. Du did not say anything more.

She stood up, wiped it, and then Cherry rubbed the fragrance dew on Du Jingyi's body little by little, especially on the abdomen, according to the method she learned before, but seriously.

I don't know if it was the effect of the hint in my mind, she said with emotion while rubbing.

"Young Madam, it seems to be effective. I think it seems to be much flatter."

"Really?"

"How about you look in the mirror, Madam?"

After hearing this, Du Jingyi naturally got off the chaise longue to take a look. Sure enough, she looked better than before, and she began to admire this fragrant dew in her heart.

"No wonder some people spend their entire lives pursuing immortality. Look at me now, am I not obsessed with it?"

Hearing this, Yingtao smiled and then said.

"Madam, don't say that..."

Before she finished her words, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside. Lizhu looked anxious and rushed in.

"Madam, something happened, something happened, something happened to the old lady!"

When Du Jingyi heard this, he was still a little unresponsive, and said with a frown.

"What happened? Wasn't she fine during dinner? What happened to grandma?"

"Someone from Qiude Courtyard said that the old lady fell and hit her head. The court doctor said she was not going to make it, so he sent a message saying that they were going to hire a carriage to fetch Doctor Xia to come and take a look."

"How did she hit her head?"

"I don't know the details. What should we do, Madam?"

Lizhu looked anxious, causing Du Jingyi to panic.
