My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Could it be that they were all killed by this general?

Thinking of this, Cherry couldn't help but swallowed.

Ever since she entered the Du family, she has been waiting by Du Jingyi's side.

Therefore, Du Jingyi could see through many words at a glance even if she didn't say them.

So he tapped her forehead lightly and said, somewhat dumbfounded.

Throw away the scraps in your head, the general is not that kind of person.

Du Jingyi was very clear about the deaths of his first three predecessors.

When the Duke of Guo came to ask for his hand in marriage, Mr. Du spent a lot of money to make inquiries.

After all, this young father-in-law has a reputation as a wife-suppressant.

He felt sorry for his daughter, but he didn't want his daughter to fill the hole in the business.

Therefore, after several twists and turns, he finally found out the truth.

It turns out that Shang Ji's so-called destiny to suppress his wife was all nonsense.

The first young lady of the Xu family who was engaged to a merchant was caught running away from her marriage, and was forced to death by her clansmen after she returned.

In order to save his own face, he still pretended that he died of illness.

In the end, he did not hesitate to go to the gate of the Duke's Mansion and forced Shang Ji, who was not yet the young prince at the time, to welcome the memorial tablet through the door.

The second one is the young lady from the Jing family.

On the day of the wedding, the young master went to fight with Marshal Gu before he could even get in.

Who knew that three months later, he would drown while playing in the water at home.

Such a situation can be blamed on Shang Ji, and naturally Mrs. Wei's contribution to the situation is indispensable.

As for the third lady from the Wang family, it's even more exaggerated.

I heard that he was frightened and sick by the rumors about his wife.

He died in a few days!

But Mr. Du didn't believe there was anything fishy inside, so he spent a lot of money to pry open the mouths of the Wang family's servants.

Only then did I find out that Miss Wang had been terminally ill a few years ago, but she didn't show it to the outside world just for the sake of fame.

Mr. Du didn't find out what the specific illness was.

But this wife-killing rumor is absolutely false.

Otherwise, how could Mr. Du send his beloved daughter into such a den of tigers and wolves!

Du Jingyi even remembered that when his father came to deliver these messages, he stood up straight and showed no timidity at all.

Thinking of this, he suddenly burst into laughter.

Such a huge change in mood made the maids Yingying and Lizhu confused.

Okay, don't worry, we still have big things to do now.

What's up?

Have you forgotten what I told my sister-in-law just now, that I have to prepare a gift slip because I have to go back tomorrow?

Cherry slapped her forehead and then remembered.

I almost forgot about it. I'm going to deliver it right away.

The gift list was actually prepared three years ago, but I couldn't deliver it at that time.

Now that the general is back, this gift cannot be revoked.

Otherwise, the outside world would not know how to spread rumors about my young lady.

The fact that the Du family married a daughter was a bit high in terms of status.

But they all also straighten their backs and conduct themselves as human beings.

Before coming here, the master and his wife gave them repeated instructions.

Once the young lady feels wronged, she should go home immediately.

If I, the King of Heaven, are gone, the most I can do is divorce my wife.

They are not afraid.

The most important thing is that my daughter can live a happy life.

After seeing her leave quickly, Du Jingyi smiled lightly.

Let's go and have a look in the small kitchen. Is there any pear water?

Yes, young lady.

In Xitang Courtyard, everything was calm and calm.

But the sister-in-law Liu, who returned to Fuqiuyuan, felt a little sad at the moment.

After looking at Xue Niang, she said weakly.

You should go back to Hanyi Courtyard first. Today's naughty work has to be finished. I'll go and see it tomorrow.

Hearing this, Xue Niang curled up her lips.

But he calmed down quickly and accepted it.

Okay, sister-in-law, I'll leave first.

Well, be careful on the road.

knew.

Such a conversation has been going on between the two of them for many years.

The atmosphere was as calm as those days past.

But after Xue Niang's leaving figure gradually disappeared, Mrs. Liu, the sister-in-law, sighed.

He waved to his son Shang Zhiping.

Looking at his face that resembled his late husband's, I couldn't help but feel sad.

Ping'er, you...

Before the words were spoken, sister-in-law Liu couldn't stop crying.

Once upon a time, who didn't envy her good fortune.

My mother's family is docile and there is nothing objectionable about her.

She was married to the young prince of the Duke of Shang.

Despite being young and promising, he was also very considerate to her.

Those years.

She was in the inner house, and the entire Duke's mansion obeyed her arrangements.

When attending banquets outside, she is also the best among women.

Who allowed her to have both a merchant father-in-law and a Gu family mother-in-law.

And her own husband is progressive and her son is also smart.

Seeing that one day is better than the other, I feel comfortable.

But what she didn't expect was.

The year when Ping'er was three years old became her last happy year.

The husband passed away unexpectedly, and not long after that, the mother-in-law also died of illness.

Throughout the Duke's Mansion.

The mother and son were instantly on their own.

At that time, the old lady of the Gu family came to her house in person to have a long talk, which could have ensured that her son would become a legitimate young father-in-law.

But she also knew that this was putting mother and son on the fire.

I'm afraid that before Ping'er can grow up and inherit the position of Duke, he will be turned into a pile of bones by someone.

She didn't want her only son to die in this deep mansion.

Therefore, he begged the old lady of the Gu family to keep Shang Ji's position as the young master.

Both of their brothers were born to Mrs. Gu.

With him as his second uncle, he and Ping'er would have more chances to breathe.

In fact, she did make the right bet.

The overt and covert fights with swords, guns, swords and halberds all went to Shang Ji.

However, he is outside, protected by the Gu family, and has the ability to carry him.

So it is stable to this day.

If it had been her, a helpless woman with a three-year-old child, she would have gone to report to the Lord of Hell.

But because of his over-protection, his only son became timid, timid, and afraid of getting into trouble.

After she came to her senses, no matter how hard she was taught, it wouldn't work.

If it were harsher, he would be frightened from time to time.

If he were kinder, he would be as indecent as an immature baby.

Every time she saw her son like this, her sister-in-law Liu couldn't help but blame herself.

I also feel ashamed of the final entrustment given by my late husband and mother-in-law.

However, habits have been formed over the years.

Even if she thought that it was time to let her son go and try to take charge of his own business, she would always be one step ahead of her head and protect him first.

For example, today.

Meeting with Shang Ji and his wife.

She could see the worry in the couple's eyes.

But it was precisely because of this that she felt even more ashamed and sad.

Emotions are difficult to control.

His son Shang Zhiping is now almost thirteen years old.

If he were placed in any other duke's house, he would probably be proficient in literary talent, riding and shooting skills.
