Xu Miao looked at the Duke's wife with a smile as beautiful as a flower, and sighed in his heart: This lady is really lucky.

In the past few days, Xu Miao has heard some things about the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

This Duchess was born with a golden key in her mouth, and was born into Rome.

The youngest daughter of the former Prime Minister and the younger sister of the current Prime Minister.

She has been loved by her family since she was young. She is the childhood sweetheart of Duke Dingguo and is the daughter-in-law who grew up under Duke Dingguo's care.

After the marriage, Duke Dingguo raised her as his own daughter, and her life was even more comfortable than before she got married.

If there is any suffering in this life, it is giving birth to a child.

After marrying Duke Dingguo, she gave birth to two sons for Zhou Chenli. Her body was damaged when she gave birth to her second son, and she did not get pregnant for many years.

Zhou Chenli never urged him, thinking that having two sons was enough.

Many years later, his wife became pregnant again, and Duke Dingguo Zhou Chenli was overjoyed.

He wanted his wife to get pregnant at an advanced age, so he personally accompanied her in a farm in the suburbs of the capital to take care of the pregnancy for a year. He got Zhou Jiyuan, which made all the women in the capital envious and jealous.

Zhou Jiyuan is more than ten years younger than his elder and second brothers, and is Zhou Chenli's true late-born son.

In the first few years after Duke Dingguo and his wife got married, there was a bold maid in the mansion who wanted to climb into Zhou Chenli's bed. Zhou Chenli beat her to death without saying a word.

After several successive incidents, the maids in the mansion no longer dared to act rashly and gave up their ambitions.

The key point is that Zhou Chenli really beat the maids to death, and none of the brave maids survived.

There are only three masters in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion now, and the servants are all at ease serving them. After all, the welfare benefits of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion are among the best in the capital.

Moreover, as long as you don't offend Duke Dingguo Zhou Chenli, he will be quite tolerant.

Xu Miao also met such people in modern times. At that time, Xu Miao sighed that people have different destinies, and some people are born with good fortune.

Xu Miao couldn't think of any other explanation except that he was lucky.

Xu Miao had not been blessed with such a good fate in her two reincarnations, so she kept wanting to go to the temple to burn incense to the Buddha to see if she could change her fate.

In the past few days, Zhou Jiyuan's health has improved significantly. Although he still coughs constantly, he no longer coughs up blood.

I can also sleep soundly throughout the night, and I feel much better.

He was no longer as listless as before, and he even had the energy to argue with the Duke's wife and make her happy.

Zhou Jiyuan is a little shrew who only knows how to please his mother.

Based on his many years of experience, as long as his mother agrees to something, it basically cannot be wrong.

His father is just a decoration. Under the attack of his mother's tears, his father is a paper tiger that will burst with just a tear from his mother's tears.

At the beginning, Xu Miao thought that the young master of the Duke Dingguo Mansion must be a domineering one, but Zhou Jiyuan had the Duke and his wife raise him to be very kind and he had no hostility towards anyone.

Except for feeling a little aversion to Xu Miao at the beginning, this aversion disappeared after a few days of interaction.

He even asked Xu Miao for sweets for no reason.

Xu Miao steamed pears for him and made pear juice, telling him that it would not only satisfy his craving but also relieve his cough. He drank it happily.

When Zhou Jiyuan heard that his elder and second brothers were coming to see him, he screamed in excitement on the bed. It had been a long time since any outsiders had come to his place.

When he first fell ill, his father was afraid that too many people would come and disturb his rest, so he drove everyone away.

Later, when he became seriously ill, the imperial physician directly ordered him not to have any contact with outsiders, saying that he was afraid that outsiders might bring more viruses and aggravate his condition.

He was tired of seeing the same people coming and going every day. Even on his wedding day, although he was a little unhappy, he still felt it was very fresh.

He was so happy that someone was finally coming to visit him. If his elder and second brothers could bring him some gifts, that would be even better.

The next day, as Zhou Jiyuan eagerly awaited, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, Zhou Jijiang, and the second son, Zhou Jisen, came with their wives to visit their younger brother.

The two families entered the Duke's Mansion hand in hand and went to the front yard to greet Zhou Chenli and his wife. Then, led by the lady, they came to Zhou Jiyuan's courtyard.

Xu Miao had already agreed with his wife that if anyone came to visit Zhou Jiyuan, she would hide in the kitchen.

She said she was afraid of accidentally offending an important person, but the lady also thought she was cautious and sensible and did not seek credit.

The lady had originally thought of telling everyone about Xu Miao's contributions when someone came, but when she saw that Xu Miao insisted on hiding away, she gave up the idea.

Xu Miao felt it was best for him to be cautious and low-key. If the Duke Dingguo and his wife knew about these things, it would be better than anything else.

Furthermore, she didn't want everyone in the capital to think that Zhou Jiyuan was brought here by her. She didn't want this matter to become a topic of conversation after dinner; the less people talked about it, the better.

Xu Miao hid in the small kitchen at the back, helping Mrs. Han pick vegetables and chatting with her.

Mrs. Han: The opportunity has come.

Mrs. Han sat on a small stool, picking vegetables while chatting with Xu Miao: "Ah Miao, why aren't you with the young master in the front yard? The eldest master and the others are coming, it would be great if you could meet them, at least you can get to know them. Besides, you are also the sister-in-law of the two daughters-in-law of the Duke's Mansion."

Xu Miao sat opposite Mrs. Han, picking vegetables while smiling and answering, "Mother Han, please stop talking like that. I'm not a sister-in-law at all. It's my blessing to be able to serve the young master in the backyard."

"I still prefer staying at Han Mama's place. Han Mama's place is full of delicious food."

Mrs. Han reached out and pointed at Xu Miao: "You're talking nonsense. What's so good about me being an old woman? If I really became your master, would you still be left without food? Silly child."

Xu Miao smiled and said, "Mother Han, I think it's good now. I don't dare to think about the master's affairs."

Mrs. Han smiled and continued, "Ah Miao, do you know? I heard from the maid in the front yard that on the day of your return banquet, the Sixth Prince went to the Xu Mansion to congratulate Lord Xu. Oh, that's a huge honor!"

Mrs. Han had a gossipy look on her face.

This was the first time Xu Miao heard the news, and he looked up at Mrs. Han in surprise.

"Mother Han, are you saying that the Sixth Prince went to the Xu Mansion?"

Xu Miao still had an impression of the Sixth Prince, although she didn't know what he looked like.

On the wedding day, the lady pulled her to kneel on the ground to thank her. When she stood up after thanking her, she stole a glance out of the corner of her eye and saw that it was a young and handsome man.

I didn't dare to look closely, so I just took a quick glance, but I definitely had an impression. Xu Miao was also very curious and wanted to see what the prince looked like.

"Yes, the Sixth Prince went to the Xu Mansion."

Mrs. Han continued to dig deeper.

Mrs. Han kept mentioning the Sixth Prince, and from time to time she would sneak a glance at Xu Miao's expression.

"A Miao, this Sixth Prince has a very important background. He is the Queen's biological son and the Crown Prince's biological brother. The Crown Prince is the future Emperor!"

"The Sixth Prince has been a disciple of the Great General since he was young, and has learned a great deal of martial arts. He doesn't stay in the palace, but has always been with the Great General guarding the border. I heard he's a formidable fighter! Much more formidable than that Zhang Chengyi."

Xu Miao was even happier when he saw that Mrs. Han also knew about Zhang Chengyi. Mrs. Han knew a lot.

"Mother Han, I only saw the Sixth Prince a few days ago when I accompanied Madam to express my gratitude. I didn't even dare to look up. I didn't know the Sixth Prince was so powerful and a brave general."

Xu Miao also wanted to know what the Sixth Prince meant. He seemed to be appearing in her life all the time recently.
