Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 27
Therefore, outsiders only know that there is a wealthy "Mr. Yan" in Jinling City, but they never thought that he would be in contact with the Du family in Suian City thousands of miles away.

And Du Jingyi once pretended to be the young master Yan and showed his face in front of everyone.

It hasn't appeared since.

Therefore, everyone said that the Zhiqing Shenlong sees the beginning but does not see the end.

It also added a lot of secrets to the wealth he gathered.

For a while, it is said that he is surrounded by a big man, and for a while, he is said to be so rich because of the amount of private mines and salt in his hands.

What's more, it is said that he is working for the Daxing royal family.

Although he is not an imperial merchant on the public face, he is the person in charge in private.

These secrets made many jealous people very afraid.

Therefore, dare not act rashly.

Thinking of this, Du Jingyi's face became more and more gloomy.

Those idiot relatives of the Du family want nothing more than the "overt" Du family property.

If that cousin Jing Xian is a success, she also hopes that her parents can be adopted as heirs, so that in the future, someone will be married to her knees and offer incense after death.

But all of their rooms are cramped and clumsy.

If they were really told to inherit everything from the Du family, then sooner or later the matter of Yan Zhiqing would be revealed.

At that time, the Du family will really have no way out.

That's why she and her parents are so afraid.

Mother gave the box to her in front of her husband Shang Ji.

One is to see that my uncle is not the one who is greedy for his wife's dowry.

Secondly, he just wanted her to take over Yan Zhiqing's affairs completely.

With the battle between the Duke's Mansion and her husband, no one would dare to seek trouble from her without fear of death.

One day with her, Yan Zhiqing can "live" one more day.

But the Du family has initially decided on the overall situation, and the Quartet is still in a turbulent situation, so it is possible to retreat completely.

After a long silence, Du Jingyi had made up his mind.

Then he said to the maid beside him.

"Cherry, put this box away, and when you get back to Xitang Courtyard, lock it firmly in the camphor wood box, understand?"

"Yes, young lady."

Outside in the courtyard, the sun was starting to heat up.

If Qiuhu struggled for the last time, Suancheng would gradually get colder.

At the dinner table, the four of them had their own thoughts.

But the excitement on the surface has to be pretended.

Mrs. Du asked her servants to put several famous dishes in Jinling City in front of her son-in-law Shang Ji.

He said with a smile.

"Second son-in-law, try it and see if this cook's craftsmanship is authentic or not?"

Shang Ji let out a "hmm", but he was not polite.

When I put down my chopsticks, I picked a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus duck.

After taking this bite, the meat is not only tender but also juicy and not greasy, which shows that this cook really has some skills.

Then I tasted a few mouthfuls of the beauty liver, which was very crispy and refreshing.

Shang Ji gave a rare smile.

Then he said.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law have put their heart into it, this cook is good."

Hearing such a compliment from him, the couple followed suit and felt relieved.

"Since you like it, you can eat more, or you can take this cook back, and you can eat it when you want it."

Master Du is generous to outsiders, let alone his own daughter and son-in-law.

Seeing this, Shang Ji was not polite, he opened his mouth and replied.

"In a few days, when the general's mansion is repaired, my son-in-law will come to ask for this cook."

In a word, it made the couple raise their eyebrows.

They still don't know that the emperor granted the Golden Wanliang and the General's Mansion.

Therefore, they are all a little curious.

"But moving?"

"Ah."

"The general's mansion?"

Shang Ji nodded, and Du Jingyi next to him explained.

"The general came back victorious, so he was rewarded by His Majesty. After the general's mansion is restored in a few days, my daughter will invite my parents to take a look."

It's a good thing to be able to move out and live alone.

When the Du family and his wife heard this, they couldn't hide their smiles.

Apart from other things, it is easier to meet in the future.

So he kept saying yes.

After this homecoming meal, Shang Ji, Du Jingyi and his wife should go back.

However, when Du Jingyi left, he was reluctant to part.

When Shang Ji saw her like this, his heart skipped a beat.

Strange to say.

He had only spent three days with this stepwife since he returned home, but he seemed to have seen her a little bit already.

At first, he was dignified and generous, when he was angry with others, he was dismissive, and when he had nothing to do with himself, he watched the fun, and he had a heart of pity for his backyard.

Today, she is even more charming like a daughter, and has a frown that hides her worries.

A look, a statement, let him put it in his heart.

If someone told him in the past that his whole life would be tied to such a bright and lively person in the future, he would not believe it.

But at this moment, looking at her eyes filled with tears.

But Shang Ji had the idea of ​​not being able to bear it.

So, he said to Du Jingyi and the Du family couple.

"Madam, why don't you go back after having dinner here, I'm going to inspect the camp, and I'll pick you up and go back to the mansion when the time comes, how about it?"

"is it okay?"

As soon as Shang Ji finished speaking, Du Jingyi's eyes lit up.

Where the eyes move, they are delicate and pretty.

Especially the slight dimple around the mouth makes it even more cute and charming.

Whoever reads it doesn't say a word, this young lady of the Du family, the young lady of the Duke's Mansion is really beautiful and shining.

Shang Ji swallowed slightly in a subtle way.

But his self-sustained concentration was excellent, so he nodded and said "hmm".

Afterwards, he cupped his fists and bid farewell to the Du family and his wife.

"The concubine sent the general out."

In this sentence, Du Jingyi said it with sincerity, so the ending sounds a little bit up.

Shang Ji strode ahead, and the corners of his mouth became curved where Du Jingyi didn't notice.

After sending him away, Du Jingyi quickly returned to Minse Courtyard.

Now Mrs. Du is much more pleasing to the eyes when she sees everything in the family, and even the unhappiness she felt because of her family's troubles just now has almost dissipated.

"Tangtang..."

As soon as Du Jingyi entered the door, Mrs. Du called out.

Without Shang Ji's presence, they were completely free.

"Mother..."

Du Jingyi rushed to Madam Du's side, just like when she was a child, nestling in her arms, huddling around like a kitten.

Mrs. Du also patted her on the back lightly.

The last time the mother and daughter were so close was a year ago.

"I used to be afraid that you wouldn't be able to get married, and when I got married, I was afraid that you would be wronged. Today, after taking a closer look at your husband, my heart with your father can be relieved a lot. Needless to say, just talk about his love for you." It’s fine if we don’t have any opinions.”

Mrs. Du has never had high demands on her son-in-law.

As long as the character is precious, the family is peaceful, and a little more self-motivated and the ability to love his wife is enough.
