I am engaged in construction in ancient times

Chapter 79 Meeting

The carriage drove along the smooth cement road and arrived at Xinyang City.

Ma Shuqin and Xiao Yuhe waited for their arrival in front of the expanded Duan Mansion. "Mother, why are the second and third aunts here?"

"Maybe they came to us for refuge. The capital suffered a disaster. I heard that their family fled to Rongzhou. Life in Rongzhou was not good, so they came to visit us."

"Fortunately, mother had foresight and came to Yangzhou to find you in advance. Mother didn't want to stay in that ghost place in the capital."

Ma Shuqin's days in Yangzhou were as happy as a fairy. The thing she regretted most was that she didn't accompany her son to marry in Yangzhou. Of course, as a widow of a marquis, she couldn't just follow her son.

"It's okay for the third aunt to come to visit, but why would the second aunt come?" The first and second houses have always been at odds, and Xiao Yuhe doesn't like the second house.

"Who knows." Ma Shuqin raised her eyebrows. Why would they come here? Of course, they couldn't live in Rongzhou anymore. She felt straightforward. When she was in the Marquis' Mansion, the second wife had the support of the old lady and always suppressed her. Ma Shuqin didn't know how much she had been angry. Now, the second wife had to taste the feeling of taking shelter under her eaves.

"Let's treat them as ordinary relatives and treat them well."

"Every family has a few poor relatives."

Two carriages arrived, and the second and third wives got off the carriages together. Ma Shuqin ordered the servants at home to go up to receive them, "My two brothers and sisters-in-law have traveled thousands of miles to Yangzhou. They are really hard-working. Hey, my third brother is here too."

Xiao Yuhe followed Ma Shuqin, ignoring the second lady's family, and walked straight to the carriage of the third lady. Ma Shuqin took the third lady's hand and the sisters chatted.

The third lady smiled bitterly and said, "The Marquis's Mansion has suffered a great disaster. We can only shamelessly come to the eldest sister-in-law and cause trouble to the eldest sister-in-law."

"We are relatives, so what's the trouble? Xinyue, you came at the right time. I'm bored every day. You stay here and play mahjong with me in the future."

The second lady got off the carriage, wiped her forehead with a handkerchief, walked forward with a smile, and stopped in front of Ma Shuqin, "Sister-in-law, long time no see, how are you? Hey, this is Yuhe, you are really more beautiful after marrying and becoming a general's husband."

Xiao Yuhe said lightly, "Second Aunt."

The second wife took in the scene of the Duan Mansion from the corner of her eyes. The simple and unadorned wooden house was definitely a world apart from the Marquis' Mansion in the capital. The second wife was happy: the first wife's family was not so rich.

However, the second wife was not new to the world. She took a closer look at the wooden house and found that it was well-designed. She then looked at the mother and son in front of her carefully. The more the second wife looked, the more she felt like she had swallowed a mouse in her throat.

Ma Shuqin and Xiao Yuhe were dressed in their best clothes, as if they were going to attend a banquet. Especially Xiao Yuhe and Shuang'er, who were covered in a dazzling array of jade. The second wife's eyes were venomous. She secretly estimated for a while, and her heart was desperately falling, and it was about to turn red. Xiao Yuhe's clothes were worth a million gold. Just the material of the jade crown on his head, the texture, was simply a priceless treasure.
