Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 40

When the word suitable was said, Shang Yuding laughed.

There was a bit of disgust and unwillingness in the smile.

"It's not my son, I'll plan a ghost for him. Besides, when did Dad regard me as the eldest son of the fifth house, don't you always give the second child and Wu Lang a head-up every day? I'm going to join in the fun."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

And when he went out, he deliberately slammed the door heavily to express his dissatisfaction.

Mrs. Guo, who was standing behind him, was so frightened that she trembled and looked at her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, anxiously.

His eyes were full of pleading for help.

Unexpectedly, the fifth old lady waved her hand impatiently, she didn't think much of this eldest daughter-in-law at all.

The ashen-faced Guo could only follow her husband and leave the main house of Yingjuanyuan.

It didn't take long to hear the sound of crackling and smashing, and Guo's wailing and pleading for help.

But the entire Yingjuanyuan seemed to be used to it, and they were very indifferent to this voice.

After all, she has no children and only three daughters, but she committed a big "taboo".

It would be nice to leave her a way to survive and eat delicious and spicy food in the Duke's mansion.

Therefore, it doesn't seem to matter if you are hit and scolded by your husband occasionally.

But the fifth old lady felt sad at the moment, and she said to Li's mother who had been serving her for many years.

"After this matter is over, go to Mrs. Wei and ask for 30 taels of silver, and give [-] taels to Qi Er's family, so that he can be buried."

"Yes, the old slave knows."

As for the remaining 25 taels, it will naturally go into the private treasury of the five old ladies.

After all, a large family is waiting for expenses. Should I say it, isn't the daughter-in-law of Wulang's family also pregnant?
Therefore, some extra money can also benefit these soon-to-be-born great-grandchildren, right?

He raised his head and looked inside the room, although there was no lack of medical treatment or fasting, but compared with the Yunjin Courtyard, the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, it was still far behind.

There is both dissatisfaction and unwillingness in my heart.

So I hope that the husband, son and grandson who went to make trouble can earn something for Wufang and come back.

Here, the discord among the five rooms has only revealed a little bit of the tip of the iceberg.

On the other side, the grandparents and grandchildren of the fifth house, together with their daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law, all brought many servants and the corpse of steward Qi Er, and rushed to Dongyuan in a menacing manner.

That posture, if it is said that it is not to stir up trouble, no one will believe it.

A group of black and white people, wherever they go, insects, fish, birds and beasts will avoid them.

After bypassing several moon gates and paths, they stood at the gate of Dongyuan in about a quarter of an hour.

Although the fifth old man is old, he is not as "handicapped" as the third old man.

He yelled to the inside with such momentum.

"Where is Liulang's daughter-in-law? Tell her to come out quickly! My husband has killed someone, and she is still sleeping peacefully in it? Don't be afraid that God will overlook her and strike her to death! It's all right. The good name of Menkefke's wife!"

He always speaks in a way that sounds ugly.

In the words, not only did they scold Shang Ji and Du Jingyi and his wife.

He even scolded Liu Shi, the eldest sister-in-law in Dongyuan, and Xue Niang, who was still waiting in her boudoir.

It's not the first time he's been so merciless.

Therefore, although the two young men guarding the gate of Dongyuan didn't have much expression on their faces, there was more anger in their eyes.

Soon, Uncle He, who was in charge inside, came out with more than a dozen young men who worked in Dongyuan.

There was a smile on his face, but fear and hostility had already grown in his heart.

And those little servants who followed him also had serious faces.

All of them have some fists and kicks, so of course they are not afraid of the soft-legged crabs brought by Wufang.

As soon as Butler He came forward, many of the servants from the fifth room flinched slightly.

Since Mrs. Wei took charge of the backyard, Steward He stepped down from the chief steward who had previously led the whole family.

But this doesn't mean that his former prestige also disappeared.

Even though they had little contact with people and things in Dongyuan on weekdays, they still felt somewhat apprehensive when they saw the former chief manager.

The fifth old man never puts people in his eyes, so naturally he can't see the fear of steward He from the people behind him.

So he rolled his eyes and said.

"Hey, what's the matter with sending a watchdog? What I want to see is Liu Lang's wife, Du Shi!"

Butler He smiled even brighter when he heard the words.

In a hurry, he said in a roundabout way.

"What happened here? To make the fifth old man so angry? So early in the morning, so angry? My young lady has not gotten up yet, if the dream is disturbed, when the general comes back, he will look for us servants again No, please also ask the fifth old master to hold your hand high and leave a way for us servants to survive."

Butler He's words sounded like he was begging the five old ladies to raise their hands, but in fact, he was beating the crowd who followed.

In the past, when they made troubles, it was somewhat better.

After all, everyone in the courtyard can see what Mrs. Wei is thinking.

But now it's different.

The great general is back, and he is still powerful and powerful.

If they were really looking for trouble, they would be the servants who came with them the first to suffer.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

Blind's legs softened, and he didn't dare to make a fuss anymore.

Shang Yu'an, Shang Wulang and his son looked at each other, somewhat apprehensive.

They came to make trouble today, but they wanted to get something, such as Shang Goro's errand.

But what Steward He said is right, if Shang Ji is really angered and other troubles arise, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?
So, Shang Goro stepped forward and tugged on the sleeve of the fifth old man, his grandfather, and said in relief.

"Grandfather calm down, we are just here to ask our siblings, we don't want people to think that we are here to pick quarrels, right?"

The fifth old man turned his head and glanced at his grandson, seeing him shaking his head slightly, the anger in his whole body subsided a lot.

So he said with a cold snort.

"What time is it? Liulang's daughter-in-law isn't up yet? Get someone to call her, we'll wait! I won't see anyone today, so I don't plan to leave. If she's not afraid of carrying a mean elder on her back and persecuting her servants... Fame, just blindly hide to death."

He had always been a rascal, and the older he got the more so.

Butler He used to be in charge of Mrs. Gu's house for many years, so he naturally knew who the fifth old man was.

So, after thinking about it, just as I was about to reply, I saw someone coming from behind.

Aunt Dou walked over with a serious expression, saluted the fifth old man briefly, and then said.

"Young madam heard that the fifth house is coming, and I specially asked my servants to invite you to wait in the flower hall. After a while, young madam will go to talk to you in person."
