My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

When the appropriate word was uttered, Shang Yuding smiled.

There was a bit of disgust and unwillingness in the smile.

It's not my son. I'm planning something for him. Besides, when did dad consider me the eldest son of the fifth family? Don't I just look up to the second and fifth sons every day? I'm going to join in the fun.

After saying that, he tossed his sleeves and left.

When he went out, he slammed the door to express his dissatisfaction.

He was so frightened that his wife, Mrs. Guo, who was standing behind him, was trembling and looked at her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, uneasily.

His eyes were full of pleas for help.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wu waved her hands impatiently, not liking this eldest daughter-in-law at all.

The ashen-faced Guo could only follow her husband and leave the main room of Yingjuan Courtyard.

Not long after, there was the sound of crackling and smashing and Guo's wails and pleas for help.

But everyone in Yingjuan Courtyard seemed to be used to it, and they all acted very indifferent to this sound.

After all, she has no children but only three daughters, but she has committed a big taboo.

It would be nice if she could still have a way to survive and live in the Duke's mansion.

Therefore, it doesn't seem to matter if you are occasionally hit or scolded by your husband.

However, Mrs. Wu was feeling sad at the moment and said to Mother Li who had been waiting for her for many years.

After this matter is over, go to Mrs. Wei and ask for thirty taels of silver, and give Qi Er's family five taels for a good burial.

Yes, I know.

As for the remaining twenty-five taels, they will naturally go into Mrs. Wu’s private treasury.

After all, the whole family is waiting for expenses. Shouldn't it be said that the Wulang family's daughter-in-law is also pregnant?

Therefore, having more money around you can also bring some benefits to these great-grandchildren who are about to be born.

He raised his head and looked inside the room. Although there were no people who were fasting without medical treatment, it was still far behind Yunjin Courtyard, the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion.

There was dissatisfaction and unwillingness in my heart.

So I hope that the husbands, sons and grandsons who went to make trouble can earn something for Wufang and come back.

Here, only the tip of the iceberg of the discord in the fifth house was revealed.

On the other side, the three grandsons and grandsons of the fifth house, together with their daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, took many servants and the body of Manager Qi Er and rushed to Dongyuan in a menacing manner.

With that posture, no one would believe him if he said he was not trying to stir up trouble.

Wherever a group of people go, insects, fish, birds and beasts must avoid them.

After bypassing several moon gates and paths, in about a quarter of an hour, they all stood at the gate of Dongyuan.

Although the fifth old man is older, he is not as impaired in mobility as the third old man.

He shouted loudly to the inside.

Where is Liulang's wife? Call her out quickly! My husband has been beaten to death, and she is still sleeping peacefully in there? I'm not afraid that God will not see her and strike her to death with lightning! It's good that everything in Dongyuan is gone. Menkefu has a good reputation as a wife-keeper!”

What he says is always unpleasant.

In his words, he not only scolded Shang Ji and Du Jingyi.

They also scolded the sister-in-law Liu in Dongyuan and the still-unmarried Xue Niang.

This is not the first time he has been so merciless.

Therefore, the two young men guarding the gate of Dongyuan did not have much expression on their faces, but their eyes were a little more angry.

Soon, Uncle He, who was in charge, came out with more than ten boys working in Dongyuan.

There was a smile on his face, but he was already filled with fear and hostility in his heart.

And the boys following him all had serious faces.

All of them have some physical skills, so of course they are not afraid of those soft-legged crabs brought by Wufang.

As soon as Butler He came forward, many of the servants from the fifth room flinched slightly.

Ever since Mrs. Wei took charge of the backyard, Butler He had stepped down from the position of chief steward who had previously been in charge of the entire family.

But this does not mean that the remaining power he once had has also disappeared.

Although they rarely come into contact with the people and things in Dongyuan on weekdays, they still feel a little frightened when they see this former general manager.

The Fifth Old Master has never put people in his eyes, so naturally he cannot see the fear of the people behind him towards Butler He.

So he rolled his eyes and said.

Hey, what's the point of sending a watchdog here? What I want to see is Liu Lang's wife, the Du family!

When Butler He heard this, his smile became even brighter.

He quickly said in a roundabout way.

What happened? To make the fifth old master so angry? So early in the morning, so angry? My young lady hasn't gotten up yet. If she is disturbed from her dream, she will look for us servants again when the general comes back. No, please ask the Fifth Old Master to show your kindness and leave a way for us servants to survive.

Butler He's words sounded like he was begging the fifth old lady to show her favor, but in reality, he was just trying to beat the people who followed him.

In the past, when they made trouble, things were somewhat better.

After all, everyone in the hospital can see clearly what Mrs. Wei is thinking.

But things are different now.

The general is back, and he is still powerful and can reach the sky.

If they really seek trouble, I'm afraid the first ones to suffer will be the servants like them who followed.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Blind's legs became weak and he didn't dare to make any more noise.

Shang Yu'an and Shang Wulang and his son looked at each other, feeling somewhat apprehensive.

They came to make trouble today just because they wanted to get something, such as Shang Goro's errand.

But what Butler He said was right. If Shang Ji was really angered and caused other troubles, wouldn't it be worth the loss?

So Shang Wulang stepped forward and pulled the sleeve of his grandfather, the fifth old man, and said comfortingly.

Grandpa, calm down. We are just here to ask questions from our siblings. We don't want to make people think that we are here to pick fights and cause trouble, right?

The fifth old man looked back at his grandson, and after seeing him shaking his head slightly, the anger all over his body subsided a lot.

So he snorted coldly and said.

What time has it been, and Rokuro's wife hasn't gotten up yet? Hurry up and ask someone to call her, we'll wait! I won't see anyone today, but I don't plan to leave. If she is not afraid of carrying a mean elder on her back, who will persecute the servants Reputation, just hide from death.

He has always been a rogue, and the older he gets, the more so he becomes.

Butler He had also been in charge of Mrs. Gu's family for many years, so he naturally knew what the Fifth Old Master was.

So, after thinking about it for a while, he was about to reply when he saw someone coming from behind.

Aunt Dou walked over with a serious face, gave a simple salute to the Fifth Old Master, and then said.

The young lady heard that someone is coming from the fifth room, and she specially asked the servants to ask you to wait in the flower hall. The young lady will go and talk to you in person soon.
