My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

He will not take his daughter to climb high and enter a noble house like other families.

Therefore, this marriage to the Duke's Mansion was something that had to be done with a big nose and a tight mouth.

But now, seeing the harmonious appearance of the couple, Mrs. Du naturally had a few more thoughts in her mind.

So, after waving his hands to let everyone out, he asked in a low voice.

It's been a few days since my uncle came back. Have you not consummated your marriage yet?

Du Jingyi's face turned red when he heard the word consummation.

Then he said Yeah and said nothing more.

Mrs. Du sighed, and then said seriously.

Mom is lucky. I met your father in this life. Even if you didn't give him a son to inherit the incense, he never thought about divorcing his wife and taking concubines and remarrying. But we are merchants and we have many problems in these matters. It’s a turning point, but your husband is different. He is both the young prince of the Duke’s Palace and the head of the General’s Palace.”

Look, I don't know how many people are envious of him when he comes back this time. Although you are his wife, you are his step-wife and your family background. If you don't have a son and a half to protect you, mother I’m afraid you’ll have a hard time in the future.”

Mrs. Du's sincere words, it's not like Du Jingyi didn't listen.

As for consummating the marriage, she actually didn't mean to resist.

I just feel a little embarrassed.

If it is just a time of marriage, it will naturally be as round as it should be.

But now, after three years of cold weather, I suddenly feel uncomfortable having a man next to me to eat and sleep with.

But what my mother said is not unreasonable.

Du Jingyi never expected that his husband would not take concubines.

Therefore, there would be many wives and concubines in the back house, and she had already been mentally prepared for the fight between the concubine and the concubine.

Now that she knows what kind of situation she will face in the future, naturally, she will not wait helplessly for the jackals, tigers and leopards to come and tear her apart.

So I calmed down and thought quietly.

When he looked up at his mother again, he already had a plan.

Don't worry, mother, my daughter knows what to do.

That's good. Let's talk about it. There are a lot of disputes in the Duke's palace, and we can't let anyone take advantage of the loopholes and give birth to a concubine's eldest son, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

When Mrs. Du spoke, her face was very serious.

Du Jingyi is now around eighteen or nineteen years old, so he naturally knows the meaning behind this.

He nodded with rare seriousness.

After explaining the matter, the mother and daughter relaxed their seriousness and led the topic to other places.

For example, a member of the family who has left in despair.

Mom, today is my daughter's return home, and they still want to make a fuss. I'm afraid that the number of fuss will only increase in the future. Do you have any good ideas to draw out the fire?

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Du lost her calmness and snorted coldly.

Don't worry. In the past, their troubles were just some unseemly tricks. Now your father and I have already set the trap and are waiting for them to exploit us. We have a cousin-in-law who is supporting us. Are you still afraid of Du Jingxian and the others? Will the family not cause any wrongdoing?

The words are full of calculations.

But she was not ashamed.

In Shangyanshang, she is not a kind-hearted living Bodhisattva.

If you want her to transfer people, that's fine.

But the premise is that you are capable and the person you want to help is worthy of helping.

For people like this family who are shameless and unsatisfactory, it would be nice if she didn't try to destroy their boat to cross the river.

To expect to survive by stepping on one's own bones is simply fanciful.

Seeing that his mother had a plan, Du Jingyi didn't say much.

After all, she had seen her parents' tricks in the shopping mall, so she naturally knew that these relatives who couldn't afford to lose would not have many good days left.

While the two were talking, they heard Master Du's voice coming from outside.

Madam, Tangtang, come out and see who is here?

There was a lot of excitement in his words, making both mother and daughter look curious.

What happened? Master.

Mrs. Du opened the door and was stunned.

Du Jingyi shouted happily, Sister!

She then came back to her senses.

Standing in the yard was the eldest daughter of the Du family who had been married for four years.

She also came back with her husband.

He looked a little dusty, but his face looked pretty good.

But with her high and erect belly, one can tell at a glance that she is at least six months old.

Du Jingxiang was wearing a smoky green gauze dress with a loose plain skirt underneath.

The whole person looks much mellower than before.

It can be seen that she is living well in the He family.

Xiangxiang...

mother……

Tears burst into Mrs. Du's eyes all of a sudden.

If not for anything else, just because she had traveled thousands of miles to come here with a bulging belly, I felt very distressed.

When Du Jingxiang saw his mother crying, she cried too.

I cried so hard that I couldn't help myself.

My daughter is unfilial and I came back late.

The eldest uncle He Shilin on the side was also very worried when he saw this.

But he knew very well how much his wife missed her relatives at home, so he couldn't persuade her and could only stand silently.

When the mother and daughter met, they shed many more tears than when Du Jingyi returned home just now.

Du Jingyi was also moved by the scene in front of him and felt a little sore, but when he turned around and saw his father looking comforting, he walked over again.

Snuggling up, it’s still the same as before.

Okay, today is a good day. Both daughters are back. We must have a good reunion dinner.

Master Du happily ordered to Uncle Liu next to him.

Go, prepare the eldest and second young ladies' favorite foods, and serve them together later.

yes.

After seeing Uncle Liu leave in a hurry, Du Jingxiang and Mrs. Du stopped crying.

Each wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief.

Mrs. Du glanced at her eldest brother-in-law with some shame, and said with a bitter smile.

My uncle is laughing.

He Shilin lives up to his name.

I saw that his face was elegant and delicate, and his whole body had a booklike temperament but was not pedantic. At first glance, he looked like a person who was pursuing an official career.

After seeing Mrs. Du talking to him like this, she immediately said respectfully.

My mother-in-law is away from home. Xiang Niang misses you and my father-in-law very much at home. Naturally, I have to express myself more since I saw you today.

Then he turned the conversation to Du Jingxiang and spoke to comfort him.

Mother Xiang, don't be too sad. Be careful that the child in your belly will also be sad with you.

As soon as he said this, Mrs. Du and others turned their attention to Du Jingxiang's towering belly.

In her eyebrows and in her words, she was filled with joy for having a daughter.

Du Jingxiang is the first daughter of the Du couple.

It is the first child that Mr. Du had after he was over thirty, so he is particularly loved and pampered.

She was not raised to be unruly and willful, but instead was exceptionally gentle and kind.
