My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

ah?

After hearing what Li Zhu said, Cherry believed it this time.

Then he said.

When the general came back today, he came over specifically to see the young lady. But the young lady was sleeping, so he didn't bother her much. Instead, he asked Luo Yuan to find Butler He and Aunt Dou to go to the study to talk about something. What I was thinking was The general just wants to explain something to them, could it be that he went to find the young lady to make a fuss?

They themselves didn't quite believe it when they heard this.

After all, for his general, his sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, respected him very much.

You can see clearly just by looking at his attitude in the past few days since he came back.

Why are you suddenly making a fuss?

Du Jingyi wiped the water on his feet with a handkerchief, and then put on Shu brocade soft satin shoes.

Glancing at Cherry, he asked with a serious face.

But what did you say?

Cherry cried out that she was wronged and recounted the entire conversation she had with her general this morning.

At the end, he also specifically told the story of Shang Ji running back to deliver medicine last night.

Du Jingyi was a little surprised when she heard this, but now was not the time for her to care about it.

After thinking about it, he said to Li Zhu.

You should inquire more about Fuqiuyuan in the past two days. If my sister-in-law does anything, come and report it immediately. Do you understand?

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

After explaining Li Zhu, Fu said to Cherry again.

Go and talk to Butler He. If the general comes back, tell him that I have something to discuss.

good.

The two maids didn't waste any time and hurried out of the gate of Xitang Courtyard.

Du Jingyi moved his somewhat heavy legs and feet back to the main room, rested on the kang, and gently rubbed his legs and feet.

The movements of his hands did not stop, and there were countless thoughts in his heart.

After much thought, she felt that the husband and his sister-in-law would quarrel, probably because of her, or because of their nephew Shang Zhiping.

If it was for Ping'er, she could still be more open-minded.

But if it was for her, for the matter of taking power in this backyard, that would be a bit tricky.

Although she is not someone who likes to take power into her hands, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there is no room for two mistresses in one house.

In Dongyuan, she would naturally obey her sister-in-law Liu's orders.

But if she goes to the general's mansion, as the general's wife, she can no longer be as idle as before.

Otherwise, if a good concubine is sent to her today and a concubine is born tomorrow, if she is not in charge of the husband, I am afraid that it will be difficult for her to convince the public and manage the back house in the future.

Therefore, she will not let go easily.

After thinking about it, I think it might have something to do with the matters she dealt with the fifth room this morning.

Therefore, I plan to show off my cards to my husband and sister-in-law first.

Anyway, the result will only be a few days later, and we will know sooner or later.

If Dongyuan had a falling out because of the people living in the same room with them, it would be a loss outweighing the gain.

As I thought about it, the moonlight gradually began to rise.

The entire Duke's Mansion was lighting up lamps one after another, and there was a sense of calm.

After Shang Ji came back quickly from outside, he saw a boy from Dongyuan at the door.

Seeing that he had been looking at him, he dismounted and asked.

But are you waiting for me, General?

Well, General, the young lady said she has something to discuss with you. Please go as soon as you come back.

Du Jingyi has something important to discuss?

For a moment, Shang Ji really didn't know what her important matter was.

But he still threw the riding crop to Luo Yuan and gave the order.

Wait, I'll be out in a moment.

yes.

His military affairs have not yet been completed, and the Huben Army has resumed its previous training.

As a coach, he naturally wants to visit more, so he may not be able to stay at home every day.

If he waited to move to the General's Mansion, he might want to stay for a while.

But this is the Duke's Mansion, huh, he doesn't even bother to treat it.

Although I was thinking this in my heart, my pace accelerated a lot.

In one day, he had already rushed to Xitang Courtyard three times.

The scenery I see is different every time, and it feels like time has passed.

Seeing him coming in a hurry, Butler He, who had been guarding the gate of Dongyuan, hurried forward to greet him.

He said with a serious expression.

General, the young lady knew about your quarrel with the young lady during the day.

Hearing this, Shang Ji suddenly paused in his brisk walking.

Then he asked somewhat unhappily.

Who spread the word?

Master Ping'er cried sadly, and most of the people in Fuqiuyuan knew about it, so it must have been accidentally leaked while chatting, and it happened to be known to the people around the young lady.

They are too talkative. Can they arrange the master's affairs at will?

There was a bit of sullenness in Shang Ji's tone, which showed that he was not happy.

Butler He was also sweating profusely and immediately reported back.

General, don't worry, I have dealt with those people. I will not dare to spread random news again in the future!

Shang Ji nodded, he was always strict in running the army.

So I think it should be like this at home.

He strode towards Xitang Courtyard, and soon he saw the bright light in the room, casting a beautiful shadow on the bright window.

Thin, but not lonely.

In the past, he never thought that there would be someone waiting for him like this when he returned from the moon.

Therefore, the moment I saw it, the tight string in my heart relaxed a lot.

Uncle He, please go down first.

yes.

After seeing him turn around and leave, Shang Ji entered the door.

Li Zhu, who was standing inside the door, immediately asked, Who?

Then he saw Shang Ji and immediately saluted respectfully.

This slave has met the general.

Her words made Du Jingyi's sleepy expression suddenly become excited.

I quickly got off the kang, put on my shoes, and prepared to go outside to greet him.

Shang Ji's steps were also fast, but he entered the inner room before her.

The two suddenly looked at each other, and Du Jingyi was slightly stunned.

It was Yingying, the maid next to her, who saluted first, and then she came back to her thoughts and followed suit.

The general is back?

Um.

Yingying and Lizhu knew that the couple had something to say, so they left wisely after serving tea.

In the house, the two of them sat opposite each other on the Kang.

Their faces were a little solemn.

Du Jingyi didn't hide it and said as soon as he came up.

General, please forgive me for talking too much. Did you have a quarrel with your sister-in-law during the day?

Shang Ji looked up at her, picked up the tea at hand and drank it in one gulp.

Then he sighed briefly and nodded.

Why?

Although Du Jingyi had some guesses in his mind, he was still not sure enough.

It would be best if she could get the answer from her husband so that she could think of a way to deal with it.

The people from the fifth house came to make trouble, and my sister-in-law sent someone to send me a message, but when I came back, you had already finished handling it. I originally thought of going to comfort my sister-in-law, but who knew that the person who spoke in a hurry said she was excited? , I broke my sister-in-law’s heart because I did something wrong.”
