My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

After all, what is being investigated at this moment is not Qi Er’s future and past, but why he died?

Shang Yu'an's words made Du Jingyi laugh without saying a word.

When she looked at him, her eyes were full of inquiry.

He is obviously not even in his twenties, yet he has such an ability to see into people's hearts.

Du Jingyi really impressed Wufangren and Dongyuan this time.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Shang Yuan felt a little calmer.

Seeing this, the fifth old man on the ground also started struggling again.

It's a pity that he wanted to continue to be aggressive, but Li Zhu suppressed him firmly.

Even if he wanted to say it, he wouldn't have a chance to say it.

At this time, it was Shang Wulang who came out with a sigh of relief.

He asked Du Jingyi.

That's right, why are you talking about those old things? First, why did Qi Er's manager die? Why did Liu Lang want to punish him with a stick?

Hearing this, Du Jingyi stopped smiling and said in a serious tone to Shang Yuan and Shang Wulang.

How presumptuous, what kind of status do you have to call General Liulang? Not to mention that he is now your Majesty's personal general. Even according to the rules in the Duke's Mansion, you should respectfully call me Young Master and open your mouth. Those who keep silent must be held accountable, Shogoro, are you afraid you want to get slapped?

you!

Shang Wulang was so shocked by Du Jingyi's remark that all his internal organs were displaced and his seven orifices were filled with smoke.

Almost didn't pout.

But he really couldn't come back.

After all, what Du Jingyi said was absolutely right.

With his status, he absolutely cannot be called that.

But in the past, no one at home called him like this, and I was used to it.

But habits are habits, and national laws and family rules are here to stay.

Even if he wanted to make trouble, he couldn't make trouble!

Seeing that his son was deflated, Shang Yu'an couldn't stand it anymore.

He narrowed his eyes and said angrily to Du Jingyi.

Wu Lang is not worthy of calling him, so what about me, my uncle? Should I kneel down and kowtow to him when I see him?

Du Jingyi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

For Fourth Uncle to have such an enlightenment, it shows that he is smart. Finally, there is someone in the Fifth House lineage who has eyes.

you!

Both father and son were speechless.

His eyes widened, but he couldn't say anything.

He was very aggressive when he came, but now he was detained and his words were blocked.

It actually made the people in the fifth house completely lose their face.

When Wulang's wife saw this, she tried her old trick again.

Ouch, when he saw this, he fell asleep on the ground again and started howling and crying in sympathy.

Unfortunately, before she could say her next words, she heard Du Jingyi smile at her.

Fifth sister-in-law is also going to be a mother. You said that this child is destined to have a good future when he is born. Whether it is a daughter's marriage or a man's success in the world, he must have the help of his family. But if he will be born, he will have a good future. My most capable uncle and aunt are so offended, and I don’t know what the outcome will be in the future, right?”

In just one sentence, Wu Lang's wife's lifeline was strangled to death.

Her mouth opened wide, but she didn't dare to say a word.

He held his stomach tightly with both hands, but tears welled up from his eyes bit by bit.

It's quite like the home of an innocent daughter who was forced into prostitution.

The fourth lady next to her, Mrs. Ni, had long been frightened and trembling violently.

If it weren't for the fear that something might happen to the child in her daughter-in-law's belly, she would have fainted and died.

I can still hold on at this moment, completely in one breath.

The people from the fifth house who came to pick a fight all shut up, and then Du Jingyi stood up.

His expression changed, and he returned to his past calm and indifferent appearance.

He said to Shang Yuan and Shang Wulang.

Secretary Qi's hands and feet were not clean. He stole the owner's things and took away the stolen goods, so he was punished by the general with a cane. However, he himself had poor health and died within a few seconds. How can you blame the general for this? On the head, don’t you think so, fourth uncle? Fifth cousin?”

She was calling more cordially now, and even her expression was much more lively and innocent than before.

Those who didn't know thought she really had always looked like this.

But there was a suppressed fifth old man lying on the ground, and two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sitting there who dared not say a word. Shang Yu'an had a hundred words to say, but he couldn't say them at the moment.

Seeing that he remained silent, Du Jingyi walked up to Shang Wulang.

Then he said very politely.

The general is kind-hearted. Now that something happened at home, he specifically asked me to take one hundred taels of silver from his private treasury to give Qi Er's manager to handle the posthumous affairs. This is considered a master-servant relationship, but I am a concubine. The woman has never seen much of the world, so naturally she can’t handle it well.”

I wonder if Fifth Cousin would bother to bother? Don't ask the servants of the Duke's Mansion and the uninformed outsiders to say that we, the masters, are mean? Right?

Give him a slap and a sweet date.

Shang Wulang didn't want to keep his head down, but Du Jingyi opened his mouth and asked for one hundred taels of silver.

You know, for a person with five houses, this money can be enough for food and clothing for several months if they save some money.

If Qi Er dies, he will die, and it is already good to be able to get three or two taels of silver to take care of his funeral affairs.

As for the rest, naturally it belongs to their fifth house.

When they heard one hundred taels, the eyes of everyone in the other five rooms lit up.

Even though he has lived in the Duke's mansion for so many years, he can't develop such a thing as vision.

With such a greedy face, everyone from the fifth old man to the fifth son's daughter-in-law is the same.

But the more it is like this, Du Jingyi also likes it.

After all, she thought it was easiest to manipulate these people with money.

It's just a hundred taels of silver, but it can buy Dongyuan peace for three to five months.

This deal is a good deal.

Seeing that Shang Wulang was hesitant, Du Jingyi looked at Wulang's wife who was still sitting on the ground.

He said pretending to be concerned.

Ah, why is fifth sister-in-law still sitting on the ground? Get up quickly. It's autumn now. Be careful to catch a cold. Winter is coming soon, and you are pregnant. If you don't have something good to eat, or some thick clothes to protect you, Wait, I'm afraid the child is going to suffer, right, fifth cousin?

The biggest weakness of Wufang people is their bloodline.

Hold on to this, don't worry they won't let go.

Sure enough, she just finished speaking.

Then Shang Yu'an regained his composure and said.

What Rokuro's wife said is that if Qi Er gets into trouble, he will naturally be punished with a stick, but this person is gone after all. If we just use some money to get rid of him, I'm afraid outsiders will say that we use money to buy our lives!

Besides, it's not appropriate for Wulang to be a white man and ask him to do these things. He's afraid that people outside will look down on him. Wouldn't this also affect Liulang... Oh no, the general's reputation? You think so? ?”
