In her previous life, she had meticulously prepared this screen for half a year.

At night, before going to sleep, he carefully examined the flowers on the screen, only to discover that they were all tied with many needles. The screen that was filled with flowers suddenly seemed lifeless and evil.

There were even more people whispering that her fate was not good.

The madame looked a little embarrassed, but she kept it for the sake of her reputation. That night, she was directly beaten to death by her servants at the Zongshi realm.

After taking a hot bath, Du Mu Zhou's mood improved a lot. She chose a warm yellow robe and put it on. Her hair was simply tied up and only had a white jade hairpin stuck in it.

In the few years she had spent in the manor, even though Second Madam Kou had not deliberately treated her harshly, she was still far inferior to the young miss of the manor.

She brought Jian Jia to the main hall of the Du residence.

At this moment, the maidservants in the main hall had already laid out the dishes. Tomorrow was the madame's birthday celebration, and the banquet tonight was exceptionally sumptuous.

Third Aunt, her daughter Du Bingxin, Fourth Aunt, and her daughter Du Bingxuan had all arrived early and were waiting for the others in the side hall.

Du Mu Zhou had arrived early.

Du Zhong had married an official wife, a second wife, and two concubines. He had four daughters, and only Han Moxiang, his second wife, gave birth to his son, Du Yuanzhe.

Du Bingxin was already twelve years old and only two years younger than Du Mu Zhou. She had a face that was seventy percent like Third Aunt's, and a pair of alluring peach blossom eyes that were as gentle as a hot spring. She seemed to be smiling all the time.

Unfortunately, such a pair of beautiful eyes had grown on that black-hearted person.

In his previous life, in order to curry favor with Second Madam Xiao, Du Bingxin had used all her strength to frame her and even used her relationship with the Xiao family to force Second Master Xiao to take her as a concubine. Afterwards, Second Master Xiao had somehow become a monk and she naturally did not end up well either.

"Big sister!"

Du Muzhou was still slightly dazed, but he was called back by a timid and soft voice.

The seven-year-old Du Bingxuan shrunk into the Fourth Concubine's embrace, like a pitiful little chicken. She looked at Du Mu Zhou affectionately with her crystal clear eyes.

"Hello, fourth sister!" Du Mu Zhou gave her a faint smile and didn't get too close.

"Big sister, come sit." Du Bingxuan gestured to the chair beside her. Fourth Concubine, who was still holding her, quickly tugged at her sleeve. Her eyes seemed as if she wanted to say something, but hesitated.

Fourth Aunt had a weak personality. She was originally a girl from a poor family and had been rescued by Du Zhong on the street. After that, she had entered the Prime Minister's Estate.

"What's the use of fawning on her? "You're still counting on her to back you up?" Du Bingxin snorted coldly as she watched Du Mu Zhou settle into his seat, extremely dissatisfied.

Du Mu Zhou raised his head and looked at Du Bing Xin, his face ice-cold. "What's wrong? Even your fourth sister knows how to greet you. As your elder sister, do you not know how to greet your own sister? Have you forgotten what the Madam has taught you? "

Du Bingxin looked at her haughty expression and felt even more disdain for her. "Don't try to play with me. Father said that there is no direct descendent between sisters. Moreover, you are the life of a fiend. " She turned her head and stared at Du Bingxuan, "Aren't you afraid that your life will be forfeited by fawning on her?"

Third Madame didn't have any expression on her face. Du Mu Zhou had never been taken advantage of by Du Bing Xin, so she wasn't worried at all. She raised her teacup and took a sip, "Xin Er, don't be rude. Hurry up and apologize to your big sister."
