It was dark, and the front hall of Du's house was lit with lights.

The Du sisters are playing chess.

They have been here since before the evening drum started playing, and have been playing chess into the evening.

The chess game is there, but it hasn't changed for a long time.

Du Wei held a black chess piece in her hand, as if thinking about the next move, but her eyes did not fall on the chessboard at all, and she was very preoccupied.

"It's curfew, why hasn't grandpa come back yet?" She finally couldn't help but ask.

"The banquet won't end so soon."

"Um."

Finally, there was movement in the front yard.

The chess pieces then fell back into the chess cage. The two sisters had no intention of playing chess anymore, so they immediately got up and rushed over.

I saw Du Youlin, Du Wulang riding a horse in front, servants driving a carriage behind, and Hu Shisanniang sitting on the shaft of the carriage holding a copper pot, looking cheerful.

"Grandpa is back."

"Well, I don't want to go over and try the stir-fry. Mrs. Guo Guo sent a lot of things as gifts. Let Quan Rui move them down."

It can be seen that she is satisfied with the fact that a clear member of the Du family is willing to show his closeness to Yang Yuyao.

Du Wei asked: "Is Xue Bai drunk again? Is he in the carriage?"

Du Youlin said calmly: "Let Wulang talk to you."

Without waiting for the servant to carry a lantern to lead the way, he walked to the backyard and sat alone behind the rockery for a while to relieve the depression he had suffered today before returning to his room.

When Lu Fengniang came forward, he opened his mouth and lamented: "I ate dog intestines and lost 70,000 yuan in the blink of an eye! I want to set a family rule. Anyone from the Du family who dares to gamble will be kicked out of the house!"

…

Over there, Du Jin had already opened the car curtain, but only saw boxes of gifts, not Xue Bai.

"Xue Bai didn't come back." Du Wulang scratched his head, "He stayed at Madam Guo's house."

Du Jin had expected it and responded: "That's good, he has done it again."

Even so, she frowned and felt inexplicably unhappy.

So I thought with self-deprecation that I was jealous of the power of Mrs. Guo Guo. Her original ambition in this life was to be a virtuous concubine who would leave a name in history even if she could not become a queen. But now she could only live in precarious circumstances.

"This matter is a long story. Let's talk about it in the side hall."

The three siblings went to the side hall and sat down.

When Du Wulang saw that the two sisters were silent, he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. He glanced at Du Wei and saw that she lowered her head, probably because she was sleepy.

"When I arrived at Mrs. Guo's house today, my grandfather first praised the cooking. Xue Bai recruited the famous chef Deng Lian, and Hu Shisanniang took charge of the cooking. I will take care of the kitchen, light the fire, and prepare the dishes. Don't think it's simple. This is

The most complicated part..."

"Say it's useful." Du Jin said.

"Everything I said was useful. Our stir-fry was delicious, and everyone praised it. After the banquet was over, Mrs. Guo Guo praised me a lot and gave us property, but Xue Bai said she didn't want any property."

"What did he say?"

"Because the famous chef Deng Lian said that his cooking skills are worth thousands of dollars, and the chicken prodigy boy thought the dishes were too small, Xue Bai used this reason to propose to Mrs. Guo Guo to open a restaurant. The property she donated was the principal.

40% of the profit; the Du family arranged the management and management, and 30% of the profit; since the cooking skills were his, he also had 30% of the profit. In addition, he also had to teach Deng Lian how to cook so that Mrs. Guo Guo could eat them at home.

When it comes to cooking, Deng Lian helps improve his skills and gets a monthly profit..."

Du Jin said: "Go on, I know these."

"How did the second sister know?"

"What Xue Bai cares about is not the money, but the business itself with Yang Yuyao. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand. I was thinking at that time, what kind of person Mrs. Guo Guo is, how could she run a lowly business? She didn't lack a few coins. But I didn't expect that when Xue Bai said it, she would smile and agree.

"

Du Jin was a little displeased when she heard that Yang Yuyao agreed too quickly, and said, "I'm talking about doing business and adding property. I ask Xue Bai to give her money every year. Why wouldn't she refuse?"

"My grandfather refused." Du Wulang said: "My grandfather said that the Du family has a well-known family name and will never engage in low-level careers. Mrs. Guo Guo just smiled and asked people to drive my grandfather out, and said to me, "Tomorrow

Please invite Du Erniang to come to my house and talk for a while, but the strange thing is that this time I didn’t say anything."

Du Jin was silent for a moment.

She actually understood that her status could no longer remarry. But she was very angry and always wanted to do something. It was neither right nor wrong for her grandfather to stop her. It was also wrong not to stop her. He might as well just pretend that he didn't know.

"Now that the deal is settled, why doesn't Xue Bai come back? You and I took him out, why don't you bring him back?!"

"He has to stay and teach Deng Lian how to cook." Du Wulang said, "Oh, Xue Bai said, as long as we have a joint venture with Mrs. Guo Guo, those blind people will no longer dare to bully us.

."

Hearing these words, Du Wei's fingers trembled, and she finally raised her head, her eyes blank.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"What did you just say? The last sentence."

"Those blind people will not bully us anymore."

Du Wei sniffed, turned her head away, wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, but left the side hall without saying a word and went back to the house alone.

"Alas." Du Wulang had a very understanding expression on his face and explained to Du Jin: "Sister has been in a bad mood recently because of her blindness."

That night, Du Jin could not sleep.

After thinking about it, Xue Bai is also a snobbery. A woman with no power would go to great lengths to get him to look at her...such as Qing Lan, but he is extra attentive and considerate to Mrs. Guo Guo.

It can be seen that in order for her daughter's family to stand in the world, she must eventually strengthen herself, so Du Jin secretly made up his mind.

But when she turned over, she couldn't help but think about what he was doing in Mrs. Guo's mansion at this time.

~~

Mrs. Guo's Mansion.

The fragrant boudoir covers the fog, and the luxurious mat gathers the dust.

The stove was burning outside the boudoir. There was only incense in the boudoir, and there was no smell of smoke, but it was quite warm.

Yang Yuyao was wearing very light clothes and was being cleaned by a maid. The wet handkerchief wiped her fair and rosy skin. The smell of alcohol had dissipated, but her head was even less clear.

"Don't you dare look at me?"

Xue Bai was sitting beside the couch, facing her sideways.

"It's late at night, and it's time for Yao Niang to rest. Is there a guest room in the house?"

Yang Yuyao raised her legs and hooked his waist, preventing him from getting up and walking away, and said leisurely: "Come here and serve me."

Since she allowed him to stay, hiding her boredom, the atmosphere had arrived, and all she had to do was wait for him to serve her.

Xue Bai didn't move.

He doesn't mind getting along with Yang Yuyao, but he won't let himself become a plaything that may be abandoned at any time. He is here to establish a relationship, not to have sex in person.

The maids retreated and closed the door.

Yuzu hooked Xue Bai's waist and pulled him gently, then moved away to another place. Yang Yuyao leaned there lazily, but smiled with satisfaction.

He is already emotional.

She relies on her beauty and believes that her prosperity and wealth are all due to the beauty of her four sisters. She also believes that she can get everything she wants.

But the next moment, Xue Bai stepped back and turned his back.

"Ashamed?"

Yang Yuyao was stunned for a moment, then stood up and stepped forward, hugged Xue Bai's waist, and teased: "Is this your first time, young man?"

Xue Bai did not answer immediately, and let her hug her for a while, feeling their body temperature rise before speaking.

"Let go, I'm not someone you can touch."

"There are only people I don't want to touch, and there is no one I can't touch... Don't be nervous, my sister will teach you."

Xue Bai held her hand, took it away, and took a few steps to distance them.

Yang Yuyao was stunned again and couldn't help but become angry.

"This is for your own good." Xue Bai said, "Soon, I will become the son-in-law of Youxiang Mansion."

"Hey, Li Genu, am I afraid of him?"

"Yao Niang is naturally not afraid. No matter what, the Prime Minister will not dare to offend Yao Niang. But what about me? I am happy for this night and offend the Prime Minister. In the future, Yao Niang will abandon me like a worn shoe, but the Prime Minister can make me

Death without a burial place.”

"snort."

Yang Yuyao was still annoyed.
