Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 15

Could it be that they were all killed by this general?
Thinking of this, Cherry couldn't help swallowing.

Ever since she entered Du's house, she has been serving Du Jingyi all the time.

Therefore, even if she didn't say a lot of things, Du Jingyi could see through them at a glance.

So he tapped her on the forehead lightly, and said with some dumbfounding.

"Throw away the scraps in your head, the general is not such a person."

Regarding the passing of the previous three, Du Jingyi was very clear in his heart.

When the Duke's mansion came to ask for marriage, Mr. Du spent a lot of money running around to inquire.

After all, this little father-in-law has the reputation of "restraining his wife".

He felt sorry for his daughter, but he didn't want his daughter to fill in the business's hole.

So, after several twists and turns, he really let him find out the truth.

It turns out that Shang Ji's so-called suppression of his wife's fate is all nonsense.

The first lady from the Xu family who was engaged to a businessman was arrested for escaping marriage, and was forced to death by her clan after her return.

For the sake of his family's face, he still pretended to say that he died of illness.

In the end, he did not hesitate to make a fuss in front of the Duke's mansion, forcing Shang Ji, who was not yet a young prince at that time, to welcome the tablet in.

The second one is Miss Jing's family.

On the day of the wedding, he didn't even have time to enter the door, so the little father-in-law went to fight with Marshal Gu.

Who knew that three months later, he drowned while playing in the water at home.

In such a situation, it can be blamed on Shang Ji, and naturally Mrs. Wei's help is indispensable.

As for the third lady from the Wang family, it was even more exaggerated.

It is said that he was scared sick by the rumors about his wife's restraint.

In a few days, the fragrance will disappear and the jade will die!

But Mr. Du didn't believe that there was nothing tricky in it, so he spent a lot of money to pry the mouth of the servants of the Wang family.

Only then did I know that Miss Wang had been terminally ill a few years ago, but she didn't show it to the outside world for the sake of her reputation.

Master Du didn't find out about the specific illness.

But the rumors about his wife's restraint are absolutely false.

Otherwise, how could Master Du send his beloved daughter into this kind of tiger and wolf den!
Du Jingyi even remembered that when his father came to deliver the news, he stood upright without showing any timidity.

Thinking of this, he suddenly chuckled.

Such a big emotional change made the maids Cherry and Li Zhu a little confused.

"Okay, don't worry, we still have big things to do right now."

"what's up?"

"Did you forget what my sister-in-law said just now, that you have to prepare a gift list because you are going back home tomorrow?"

Cherry slapped his forehead, and then remembered.

"Almost forgot, I'll deliver it right away."

The gift list was actually prepared three years ago, but it was not delivered at that time.

Now that the general is back, this ceremony cannot be forfeited.

Otherwise, the outsiders don't know how to spread the rumor about my young wife.

The matter of their Du family marrying a daughter is a bit high in terms of status.

But they all straightened their backs and behaved as human beings.

Before coming, the master and madam had repeatedly asked.

Once the young lady feels wronged, just go home immediately.

The heavenly king and Lao Tzu have gone, at most they will divorce their wives.

They are not afraid.

The most important thing is that my daughter can live a smooth life.

After seeing her leave quickly, Du Jingyi smiled lightly.

"Let's go, go to the small kitchen, is there any pear water?"

"Yes, young lady."

In Xitang Courtyard, everything was peaceful.

As for the eldest sister-in-law Liu Shi who returned to Fuqiu Courtyard, she felt a little sad at the moment.

Glancing at Xue Niang, she said weakly.

"Go back to Hanyi Courtyard first, today's female celebrity has to be finished, I'll go see it tomorrow."

Hearing this, the corners of Xueniang's mouth twitched.

But he quickly calmed down and said acceptingly.

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go first."

"Well, be careful on the road."

"understood."

For many years, the two have been talking about such a conversation.

The atmosphere was as calm as in those days in the past.

But after Xueniang's leaving figure gradually disappeared, sister-in-law Liu sighed.

He waved to his son Shang Zhiping.

Seeing his dead husband's face, I couldn't help feeling sad.

"Ping'er, you..."

Before the words were spoken, the sister-in-law Liu couldn't stop crying.

Once upon a time, no one envied her good life.

Her natal family is gentle and there is nothing to offend.

Married again is the young father-in-law of the Duke of Shang.

Not only is she young and promising, but she is also very considerate to her.

Those years.

In her inner house, the matter of giving in the palm of her hand, the whole Duke's mansion, listened to her arrangement.

She is also the best among women at dinner parties outside.

Who made her have both the businessman's father-in-law and the Gu family's mother-in-law.

And her own husband is motivated, and her son is also smart.

It seems that the comfort is getting better day by day.

But what she didn't expect was.

The year when Ping'er was three turned out to be her last happy year.

The husband passed away unexpectedly, and not long after that, the mother-in-law also died of illness.

Inside the entire Duke's Mansion.

The two of them, mother and son, instantly became helpless.

At that time, the old lady of the Gu family came to have a long talk with her in person, and she could have tried her best to ensure that her son would become a legitimate little prince.

But she also knew that doing so would put their mother and child on fire.

I'm afraid that before Ping'er grows up and inherits the Duke's position, he will be counted into a pile of bones.

She didn't want her only son to die in this deep house.

Therefore, he knelt down and begged the old lady of the Gu family to protect the position of the young master on Shang Ji's head.

Both of their brothers were descendants of Mrs. Gu.

With his dear second uncle around for a day, he and Ping'er can still have more chances to catch their breath.

In fact, she did bet right.

Those open and secret fights with swords, guns, swords and halberds all went to Shang Ji.

It's just that he is outside, protected by the Gu family, and capable of carrying it.

So safe until today.

If it were her, a powerless woman with a three-year-old child, I'm afraid he would have reported it to Lord Hades long ago.

But also because of his overprotection, the only son became cowardly, timid, and afraid of getting into trouble.

After she reacted, no matter how people taught her, she couldn't do it.

If severe, he will often be frightened.

If he was kinder, he would be as inappropriate as a baby who hasn't grown up.

Every time she sees her son like this, sister-in-law Liu can't help but blame herself.

I also feel ashamed of my late husband and mother-in-law’s entrustment.

However, the habit has developed over the years.

Even if she thought in her heart that it was time to let her son go and try to be on his own, she was always one step ahead of her mind, protecting him first.

For example today.

Meeting with Shang Ji and his wife.

She could see the worry in the eyes of the couple.

But it was precisely because of this that she was even more ashamed and sad in her heart.

Emotions are difficult to control.

Son Shang Zhiping is almost 13 years old now.

If it were placed in another duke's house, I'm afraid that he would be proficient in literature, riding and archery.
