My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Butler He frowned a little when he heard this.

These people are not easy to mess with, even though it has been three years since the young lady entered the mansion.

But on weekdays, I don’t really have much contact with the three-bedroom and five-bedroom apartments in Beiyuan.

I’m afraid it’s easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away.

But seeing how unafraid Aunt Dou was in the face of danger, the worries in his heart were slightly lessened.

So, after struggling for a moment, he said something to the fifth old man.

please.

The fifth old man hummed and entered the gate of Dongyuan, followed naturally by Shang Yu'an, Shang Wulang and his son, as well as their family members.

Although Wulang's wife's pregnancy has not been revealed yet, everyone in the Duke's palace knows about it.

If something went wrong, she could use her stomachache to get the whole family out, so she naturally followed them in.

Shang Yu'an's wife, Ni, had to take care of her daughter-in-law's pregnancy, so she guarded her every step of the way.

As for the servants who followed, they were silently blocked outside the gate of Dongyuan.

Especially the steward Qi who was covered with a white cloth.

This is a corpse, carried around in broad daylight without fear of causing any trouble.

Therefore, with a look from Butler He, he asked the boys who followed him to step forward and carry away the body of Manager Qi Er.

None of the servants in the fifth room dared to say anything.

Wu Lang's wife saw this and wanted to say something, but was blocked by the steward He who followed behind with a smile.

Straightforwardly.

Mrs. Fifth Young Master, you still have a child in your belly. Don't worry about these unworthy people. Besides, after all, there is no life left. If there is a collision, wouldn't it be troublesome?

Wulang's wife thought about it and thought it was right.

Her child was not easy to come by, so she had better be more careful.

So he nodded and followed everyone straight to the flower hall in Dongyuan.

Dongyuan is the largest and best area in the entire Duke's Mansion besides the main courtyard.

It turns out that Mrs. Gu took good care of Dongyuan when she was still there.

Later, my sister-in-law Liu took over and put some thought into it.

But with the decline of the Gu family lineage and the rise of Mrs. Wei, things were naturally not as good as before.

For my sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, Dongyuan is just fine.

If you have money, it's better to keep it in your hands. After all, neither his son Shang Zhiping nor his sister-in-law Xue Niang are married yet, so their expenses will be huge in the future.

For Du Jingyi, Xitang Courtyard is where she lives a serious life, so she doesn't really think about taking care of Dongyuan, which she occasionally passes by.

Therefore, along the way, there were not many outstanding landscapes.

But it is better than clean and elegant.

There is nothing to say about this.

Coupled with the population living in Dongyuan, there are only five masters in total, so it is extremely clean.

The people in the fifth room were secretly unhappy as they walked away.

It was a waste to give them this land to live in.

There are obviously more than a dozen people in my family, but they are nestled in Yingjuan Courtyard, which is only the size of a palm.

Even if you sneeze in the east, you can hear it in the west.

It's really uncomfortable.

But no matter how much they thought about it, they wouldn't be able to grab it all to occupy Dongyuan if there was a named first wife.

So after passing through several corridors, we came to the flower hall.

The last time the flower hall received a foreign guest was Shang Qilang.

Compared to him, the people in the fifth house looked much more indecent.

When he came up, he sat down on his own and was served with tea and cakes. He was well served.

Those who don’t know better think that they are not here to provoke, but to be their ancestors.

None of the servants in Dongyuan liked him.

But Butler He and Aunt Dou were still there, and no one dared to show off.

Everyone does what they should do.

Fifth old master, please wait a moment. I will invite the young lady to come over and meet you.

Humph, even a junior dares to carry it all day long. It would be strange if I didn't give her a good talk when she comes over.

His arrogance and attitude made it look like he was the reincarnation of the Bull Demon King.

Look at people with their nostrils turned upward.

A trace of anger flashed in Aunt Dou's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it and left the flower hall without saying any more.

When they left, they looked at each other and Butler He looked at each other. They both knew that there was probably going to be a tough battle today.

In Xitang Courtyard, Du Jingyi was having breakfast.

She actually got up quite early today, but she originally planned to be lazy and stay in bed a little longer.

Who knew that the people from the fifth room would come and kill them.

Naturally, she could only get up and wash up.

But he was not in a hurry. Instead, he planned to have breakfast before going there.

God knows what kind of monsters those people are going to do. How can they fight this war if they don't have enough to eat?

She was in a good state of mind, quite feeling like she was facing death despite the collapse of the mountain.

When Grandma Dou came to reply, she happened to see this scene.

There was a little more praise in his eyes.

Take care of yourself first, so that you can have the energy to deal with the bad things outside.

She learned this kind of state of mind after practicing in the back house for many years.

Unexpectedly, the young lady is actually smart.

He knew the ropes well at a young age.

So, she stood outside without disturbing him and waited until Du Jingyi finished his meal slowly before going in to reply.

This slave has met the young lady.

Mother Dou, there is no need to be polite. Is everyone in order?

Back to Young Madam, today we have the Fifth Old Master, the Fourth Master, the Fourth Madam, the Fifth Young Master and the Fifth Young Madam. As for the others, they didn't come with us.

oh?

Doesn’t Wufang always have the same mind wherever he goes?

Why is there still a split?

Why didn't the second master's family and the fifth old lady show up? It seems that the people in the fifth house are not as united as they said.

So he smiled and said.

Let's go and see this old man and hear what long speech he has waiting for me.

yes.

After saying that, the master and servants followed Du Jingyi in a hurry, and walked towards the flower hall of Dongyuan.

Along the way, Du Jingyi was listening to what Aunt Dou said about Qi Er.

Including his origin, when he joined the Duke's Mansion, and how many years he has been working here.

As well as what things and people he has managed, and where he is now.

Once everything is clear, explain it to you.

After Du Jingyi listened, he probably had some idea in his mind.

At the same time, I couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of Aunt Dou.

As expected, the people Mrs. Gu left behind were all capable people.

Unfortunately, she left early.

Otherwise, I really want to see how this serious mother-in-law behaves in the back house and kills everyone.

Just as I was thinking about it, I walked to the flower hall.

When Butler He saw someone coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

He said with a worried look on his face.

Young lady, please don't get angry later. Mr. Wu is always scolding. If there is something wrong with your ironing, please bear with it for now. When the general comes back, he will take it out on you.

Butler He was kind-hearted, but Du Jingyi didn't see it that way.
