Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 168 More testing

Sure enough, it was the old Mrs. Gu who had seen the big scene. For a moment, Du Jingyi wondered if someone in the Gu family used to get drunk at the dinner table?

After eating for less than half an hour, I saw that everyone was a little full.

Aunt Dou sent someone to clear the dining table and prepare tea again.

Meanwhile, Shang Ji and Xing Zhao who were next to him obviously fell into a deep sleep, but fortunately, both of them slept very quietly and didn't make much movement.

Such a scene made the third aunt very emotional.

"It's been so many years, I can hardly remember the last time my father-in-law and Saburo were so drunk."

As soon as these words came out, her sad mood rose a lot.

Mrs. Xing and Xue Niang comforted her left and right, but Fourth Aunt and Sister-in-law Liu seemed to be lost in thought and didn't say any more.

The originally happy atmosphere turned cold for a moment.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi could only change the subject.

"Sui'an City has snowed a lot in the past two days, and the mountains behind the General's Mansion can be piled up. In order to do the dinner in two days, the granddaughter-in-law specially invited several masters from the North to build a snow scene. Grandma If you and your aunts like it, you can go and see it then."

A master who specializes in making snow scenes in the Northland?

This was the first time I heard of it, so the slightly sad atmosphere was brought back to curiosity.

Xueniang is small, so she is naturally curious about these things.

So he said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law Six must have a good idea, I'll go and see it tomorrow!"

After saying this, he did not forget to tug on the sleeves of the two aunts and sister-in-law, and said enthusiastically.

"Aunts and sisters-in-law, let's go and have a look together."

Several people couldn't resist Xue Niang's coquettishness, so they also smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu took a unnecessary look at Du Jingyi, a little satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

After sitting for a while, Shang Ji and Xing Zhao were sent back to their respective rooms to rest by the servants brought by Butler He.

It's almost time for the welcome banquet to end here, but after seeing everyone getting up and leaving, Mrs. Gu sat still.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi also understood that she must have something to say to her.

So, after arranging for everyone to leave, he said to Cherry behind him.

"Go and watch outside, and don't come in without my order."

"Yes, young lady."

Mother Qin who was beside Mrs. Gu saw it, and said softly.

"Old lady, the slaves are going out first."

"Well, let's go."

"Yes."

After everyone left, only Mrs. Gu and Du Jingyi were left in the flower hall.

This was the first time the two of them were alone together, so it was somewhat awkward.

But Du Jingyi had even met Queen Guo, so when facing Mrs. Gu, although she was a little nervous, she didn't show it.

Seeing her calm and composed appearance, Mrs. Gu smiled faintly and said.

"The general's mansion is well taken care of. It can be seen that you are a person who knows how to live."

"Thank you grandma for your praise."

"Today I deliberately left you here to talk alone, do you know why?"

"My daughter-in-law doesn't know, so I ask my grandmother to teach me."

When she heard this, Mrs. Gu fixedly took a look at Du Jingyi, as if she wanted to see if she really didn't know or if she didn't know.

But although Du Jingyi is young, he has a lot of experience in business.

For so many years, disguise has become an indispensable thing for her, so she can pretend to be innocent without any trace.

Looking at each other silently, Du Jingyi was not guilty.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu withdrew her suspicions, and sighed softly.

"It's my wife who is a little cautious."

After hearing this, Du Jingyi roughly understood that what he was going to talk about today was probably about this Cousin Lang.

Fortunately, she got affirmation from her husband at noon, so she has more confidence.

She wanted to see how the Gu family planned to speak?
As a result, Mrs. Gu said with some sighs.

"In my life, I have looked at the infinite scenery and smooth sailing, but that was only a few years ago. My mother's family is precious, my husband's family is glorious, my family is full of children and grandchildren, and my family is safe and smooth. I can boldly say that Daxing Chaoneng Few are as comfortable as I am."

"At that time, all I thought about Shaoyu was that he could realize his full potential, find someone to grow old with, and live a comfortable life."

Mrs. Gu was recalling the past while talking, while Du Jingyi listened quietly, not saying much.

"But God didn't give me this chance, and he gave Shaoyu this opportunity. The Gu family collapsed. At that time, I couldn't hold on anymore, and his aunts couldn't hold on anymore. I originally planned to go with the old and young men of the Gu family. But Shaoyu saved us."

Du Jingyi was a little surprised when she heard this, probably she didn't expect that she would have such an experience.

Close relatives died at the same time, and those who remained did not want to live.

At that time, he was not yet a weak crown, and he had to bear so much pressure.

Thinking of this, Du Jingyi felt even more distressed.

But then, Mrs. Gu smiled lightly and continued.

"Those who have experienced death once are not afraid of anything. The reason why I am still holding on now is because of Lang'er and Shaoyu."

Although Shang Zhiping and Xueniang are also her blood, it is different from the friendship between Shang Ji and Gu Xiaolang who grew up by her side.

"So, I hope that the two of them will have a good life, do you understand what I mean?"

Du Jingyi's heart was mostly cold, and Mrs. Gu would punish her when she came up, what else could she do?

Even if she is not willing, it seems that Cousin Lang must marry in, right?
Thinking of this, her face darkened.

While watching Mrs. Gu Shiwei, she was also struggling.

But during the day, Shang Ji's words were like an invisible support that made her have the courage to face Mrs. Gu, so she thought for a while before speaking.

"Grandma's daughter-in-law understands what grandma means, but I don't want to, and I don't allow Cousin Lang to enter the general's mansion."

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu looked at Du Jingyi with a serious expression on purpose and said.

"My old lady has patiently talked to you so much, but still can't understand? Do you think you can stop me? If I speak, Shaoyu can only agree. You really think that you are so important that you can fight against me. To have won the kindness of the Gu family towards him?"

A sentence is like Mount Tai, suppressed.

If it's someone else, I'm afraid they have been forced to nowhere by the pressure of Mrs. Gu.

But Du Jingyi is Du Jingyi, she not only has a way to retreat, but also doesn't want to retreat at this moment.

He said more seriously to Mrs. Gu.

"Grandmother's kindness, the general will definitely keep it in his heart and will repay it, but this is not a condition for the granddaughter-in-law to compromise, not to mention that the general has no intention of welcoming Cousin Lang into the general's mansion, there is such a possibility, then the granddaughter-in-law He is not someone who can wrong himself.”
