My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

After a moment of silence, sister-in-law Liu sighed.

When he raised his eyes again, he was less entangled than before and replied quite sincerely.

I understand what my sixth brother means. I will talk to my siblings about this when I find time.

Um.

Shang Ji also saw that his sister-in-law didn't want to talk any more, so he naturally sat for a while and then left.

After he left, Shang Zhiping let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing that his face lacked any enthusiasm or cheerfulness that a young man should have, Xue Niang also lamented, not knowing how to express it.

There was silence all night, and when the morning glow fell on the flowers and trees in the Duke's Mansion the next day, it was as if what happened yesterday had never happened.

Life goes on as usual.

But Xitangyuan welcomed a person whom he had not seen for a long time.

Du Jingyi's face was still painted with the pearl jade powder, looking pale and weak.

But her movements and demeanor didn't look like she was sick.

Especially when he saw his sister-in-law Liu entering the door, Du Jingyi deliberately got off the bed.

This time, my sister-in-law Liu was a little surprised.

It looked like he was pretending to be sick.

I heard that you were sick, so I came to see you, but it seems that there is no need for you.

Sister-in-law Liu spoke with a bit of a smile, and it was obvious that there was no barrier between her and Du Jingyi.

Du Jingyi knew exactly what her husband was doing last night, but she didn't expect that her sister-in-law would come to the door in person today.

So he replied with a smile.

Sister-in-law, forget about it, I'm fine.

That's good.

Maid Yingying served tea and then took the people out.

It was the first time that the two of them were alone together. Du Jingyi was not timid, he just wanted to hear the purpose of her visit today.

After a cup of tea, my sister-in-law opened her mouth.

I've heard about the Yunjin Courtyard matter. Sixth Brother means that you think you did a good job, but I don't think so.

Du Jingyi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. This sister-in-law knew how to use plain words and strong words.

So Du Jingyi still asked sincerely.

Please give me some advice, sister-in-law.

The incident at Yunjinyuan is said to have been caused by the impulsive act of the fifth uncle, but this is caused by human nature. How can you be sure? If he had not done anything, then just because Wulang got an emergency, I am afraid there would be no trouble. To this point today.”

The incident with Prince Min's Mansion was just an opportunity. You pretended to help the fifth house, which made the third house feel jealous. But how could you have known that they would make a fuss yesterday? And you fought over it?

So, in this matter, I think you are lucky enough. If we really talk about it, you may not be Mrs. Wei's opponent.

Sister-in-law Mrs. Liu hit the nail on the head and expressed her thoughts.

In her opinion, Du Jingyi was smart, but when these things were put together carefully, she found that it was still luck.

So she didn't get used to it and just said it.

I just want to see how Du Jingyi will respond.

Unexpectedly, after Du Jingyi heard this, he took the teacup at hand and took a sip without any hesitation.

Then with a chuckle, he revealed all his plans for the past few days.

When I married into the Duke's palace, I brought several dowry shops with me. By chance, they were near Jia's shop. Their family always said they were in the rice and grain business, but in fact they were involved in some obscure business. Mixed with a kick.

For example, the Jia family has handled the most popular hibiscus ointment in opium dens these days. Once it is contaminated, it cannot be stopped. I heard that my fifth uncle was quite fond of tobacco and alcohol, but Thirty Liang A box of hibiscus ointment is not easy for Wufang to take down easily.

When Du Jingyi spoke, there was a firm calculation in his eyes.

It was as if no one or anything could escape from her place.

I let Yingtao tamper with the money. This is just one of them. With Wufang's mentality of being poor for a long time and suddenly getting rich, he naturally has to squander the money that is so readily available. In addition, the money in the opium shop I'll try to seduce you, but I'm still worried that my fifth uncle won't take the bait.

The reason why hibiscus ointment is so addictive is that when you first use it, you will feel refreshed and refreshed when you inhale it. If you don't inhale it, you will feel like insects and ants are eating you.

I have calculated that the box of hibiscus ointment he bought before must have also bottomed out in the past few days. Without the moisture of that thing, the temper of the fifth uncle is naturally like a bucket filled with oil, with a little spark. It will explode.

When he said this, the expression on Du Jingyi's face was a bit sarcastic.

Then I spread the truth about what happened in Prince Min's Mansion. With my fifth uncle's temper, would he not come to pick up trouble after hearing this? The third room has a guilty conscience and secretly wants to gain power through Jia's family. After waiting for a long time, there is no hope. He was naturally anxious about the news; there was so much greed in the fifth house, so how could he let the duck fly? So naturally he had to go to Yunjin Court to ask for an explanation.

Three-bedroom and five-bedroom families look united, but in their hearts they are very guarded against each other. They start fighting over a disagreement over words. It's not that difficult, right?

Naturally, Du Jingyi asked Liu Xun to secretly mix some powder into the flowers and plants in Yunjin Courtyard that would make people inexplicably anxious.

It also boosted everyone's emotions, and they naturally started to fight.

But Liu Xun's matter was still secret, and Du Jingyi didn't intend to reveal it.

After hearing these words, the sister-in-law's initially skeptical attitude was shattered bit by bit by Du Jingyi's response.

His face was silent and his teeth were clenched tightly.

After a while, he looked up at Du Jingyi, with disbelief and worry in his eyes.

Did you design every step of this?

Du Jingyi smiled, and at this moment it was cleaner than water.

Sister-in-law, are you joking? The opium shop sells medicine, the Jia family does adulteration, the young boy is seduced, the fifth uncle is addicted, Mrs. Wei is the one who does it, Wu Lang is the one who gets the emergency, and Wu Lang is the one who is frightened. Wife, the one who was tied up and dragged away was Nanny Jiao, and the one who was cleared out was the fifth room. I don’t have anything to do here.

She acted very innocent, but the more she acted like this, the more frightened her sister-in-law Liu was.

It seems that the most mixed ones here are Yunjinyuan and three-bedroom and five-bedroom houses.

When it comes to breaking the news, it can only be said that Du Jingyi is afraid of getting into trouble and pretending to be sick.

Even if the people of the fifth house come to settle accounts in the future, they will either go to Mrs. Wei to fight for their lives, or they will make trouble for the Jia family and the third house.

They have nothing to do with Dongyuan, and they might still remember some of the kindness Du Jingyi had helped them.

Even if they wanted to use this to get to Du Jingyi and the General's Mansion, they would have to escape from Zhuangzi, which was surrounded by Mrs. Wei's orders.

With these things connected in such a way, the backbone of my sister-in-law Liu, who was still upright, started to loosen up little by little.

He didn't say anything until the end.
