My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Shang Ji returned to the study with heavy steps.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Butler He and Aunt Dou who had been waiting for a long time.

The two of them saw that his face was not very good, and they were both a little anxious.

Especially Aunt Dou, she was still thinking about Du Jingyi, so she thought something had happened to her.

He asked quickly.

General, where is the young lady...

Shang Ji waved his hands, not wanting to say more.

But thinking about the quarrel with his sister-in-law just now, he still felt that it would be better to explain something clearly as soon as possible.

So, he straightened his expression and said.

I know that the matter of the fifth room has worried you and my sister-in-law. But since the young lady has become the person in charge of Dongyuan, she should not go overboard in what she should know and handle in the future, especially my sister-in-law. There, she now has to concentrate on teaching Ping'er, don't bother her with these mundane matters all the time, if the young lady can't solve it, just repay it to me directly, do you understand?

His words were very straightforward.

Butler He and Aunt Dou are not fools, so they naturally know what he means.

Especially Aunt Dou, who just now was thinking about the matter of three and five bedrooms in the future, and she still had to leave it to the eldest young lady to make the decision.

But now, what her general said made her suddenly feel that she had thought wrong.

I originally planned to say a few more words, but my sleeve was pulled by Butler He standing next to me.

Tell her to talk less.

There was no other way, so Aunt Dou could only nod in agreement with Butler He.

The key to the General's Mansion will be delivered shortly. If nothing happens after lunch, you two can go with us and my wife. Staying here for a long time will cause trouble. It's better to move out as soon as possible.

Yes, the old slave (servant) knows.

After saying this, Shang Ji let the two of them leave.

After walking out of the study door, the two of them looked at each other, sighed briefly, and continued to do what they were doing.

And this turmoil only stopped between Shang Ji and his sister-in-law Liu.

It did not affect Du Jingyi.

Therefore, after she woke up comfortably and returned to her cage, the maid Yingying told her that the general was back.

For a moment, she felt it was difficult to face it.

In other words, he was a little embarrassed.

But it was only for a moment, and I was soon relieved.

If newlyweds are so pretentious, how can they survive?

Moreover, they are still an old couple who have been married for more than three years.

Thinking of this, Du Jingyi ordered while washing himself.

Ask Danruo to make some good food and send it over today. Just remember to make more of what the general likes to eat.

Don't worry, young lady, I know this.

Um.

Cherry quickly went outside to deliver the letter and went to the small kitchen to give instructions.

Li Zhu, on the other hand, was serving Du Jingyi and dressed neatly again.

The sun is nice today, and the coolness of autumn is missing.

Therefore, Du Jingyi also dressed very coolly.

Wearing a peach-colored smokey blouse paired with a floor-length skirt, she looked more delicate than a flower.

The hairpin on the head is a begonia flower with pearls. The exquisite craftsmanship makes the begonia flowers on this wave look particularly expressive.

Especially accompanying Du Jingyi's pace added a lot of charm to her.

Looking at Du Jingyi in the Linghua bronze mirror, the maid Li Zhu couldn't help but sigh.

The young lady is really beautiful.

Hey, are there so few words of praise? Have you forgotten all the words you learned in the Du family school?

Li Zhu smiled and immediately praised.

The young lady is naturally beautiful, has a beautiful face, is virtuous and decent, dignified and generous, and is extremely beautiful...

Du Jingyi listened with peace of mind to the maid's praise of herself. Somehow, when she heard beautiful, she also heard a short chuckle from outside.

He immediately raised his voice and asked.

Who's out there?

Probably because he heard someone discovered him in the corner, Shang Ji had a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Fortunately, there was no blush on his skin, so he walked through the door of the main room.

it's me.

The voice was low and magnetic, and Du Jingyi felt embarrassed instantly.

The maid Li Zhu also had a bitter look on her face, why was she so unlucky? She was praising his wife, but the general came.

But there's no point in being embarrassed.

The master and servant got up and walked out.

When he saw Shang Ji, he immediately saluted and said.

I have met the general.

This slave has met the general.

Well, get up.

Thank you General.

He was still wearing the same set of clothes that he had worn when he left the house yesterday, and he had not changed them.

But Du Jingyi's outfit was already the third or fourth outfit Shang Ji had ever seen.

The two of them had slanders in their hearts.

One of them felt that her husband's clothes were too few and he didn't even have to change them.

One is that my wife has so many hairpins on her clothes that she can see some new ones every day.

But neither of them spoke, and just sat down side by side in front of the Eight Immortals Table.

Then Li Zhu handed over the handkerchief and cleaned their hands.

After a while, Cherry and Danruo brought two large food boxes over.

Another large table full of dishes made Du Jingyi feel a little sour in his heart.

This girl Danruo, why didn't she have so many dishes when she was just serving her?

However, the general is back, and not only has the volume become much larger, but the content has also become much richer.

For example, today there is kumquat crab soup that she likes very much.

She didn't even need to taste it, she was already hungry just from the smell.

Shang Ji knew it when he saw a slight movement in her throat.

So he spoke.

Let's eat first, and we'll go out later.

Um?

Du Jingyi was a little strange, why did he suddenly want to go out?

Then Shang Ji explained.

The key to the General's Mansion has been sent over. We have to go and take a look.

Du Jingyi looked suddenly enlightened and replied calmly.

I understand.

Then, the two of them ate their lunch carefully.

This meal was the second meal the two of them had eaten alone since Shang Ji came back.

Probably because they have already consummated their marriage, they are a little closer in terms of status.

For example, Du Jingyi would want to give her husband an extra bowl of soup, and Shang Ji would also pay attention to what Du Jingyi likes to eat before putting down his chopsticks, and put some on her plate.

Such affection made the maids nearby couldn't help but feel secretly happy when they saw it.

It is the best thing for my young lady to have a beautiful relationship with the general.

Li Zhu, in particular, was eager to publicize everything that had happened in the past few days.

It would also be a good way to show those women and servants who like to gossip, how their young lady can catch the eye of the general.

There is no need to talk about one’s background and the past wives’ affairs every day.

It made her unable to listen.

During the meal, everyone had their own thoughts.
