Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 48
Not allowing Cherry to think too much, she hurriedly stood up.

He bowed to Shang Ji and said.

"The servant has seen the general."

"Well, get up."

While talking, his eyes were mostly looking towards the inner room, but his footsteps did not move.

Seeing this, Cherry took the initiative to explain.

"The general wants to go in? The young lady got up early today, and she fell asleep again because she felt a little tired."

After saying this, he seemed to think of something, and deliberately added another sentence.

"The young lady didn't feel any discomfort before going to bed."

Hearing this, Shang Ji's worries eased a little.

After a moment of silence, he glanced at Cherry, and then said.

"Tell me clearly what happened today."

"Yes."

He didn't come up to find out who's responsible, but he had to understand the matter clearly before he could make further plans.

Cherry didn't hide anything, and told everything that happened in the flower hall.

She spoke carefully, and Shang Ji listened carefully.

He frowned slightly when Cherry said about the 100 taels of bright silver ingots he had sent.

There was more doubt and inquiry in the eyes looking at Cherry.

Then he asked directly.

"Did the young lady tamper with the money?"

Cherry exclaimed, and couldn't help admiring it.

The same thing fell into the eyes of the young lady and Nanny Dou, most of them were worried.

But the general can also see the leopard in the pipe, and he can see something unusual.

Based on this alone, as well as the matter of delivering the medicine last night, Cherry recognized this second uncle from the bottom of her heart.

In the past, it was an obstacle to status, so I had to be respectful.

But after today, he was sincerely convinced.

So he nodded and said in a low voice.

"The servant wiped something on the silver, but it's not easy to explain it to the general, but the general, please believe that our young lady will be able to handle this matter properly."

The reason why Cherry said that was because she wanted to use Shang Ji to stabilize her young wife's right in the back house.

After all, the young lady has good intentions, but if things go on like this, it may not necessarily be a good thing for the young lady.

Shang Ji is not stupid, so naturally he heard something tricky.

Then he said to Luo Yuan.

"Go and invite Steward He and Nanny Dou to the study. I have something to say to them."

"Yes, General."

Luo Yuan turned around and left the Xitang Courtyard with broad steps, and only Shang Ji and the maid Cherry were left in the courtyard.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Cherry has no intention of climbing, so it is very uncomfortable to be alone with the general.

Shang Ji also noticed her awkwardness, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Then he ordered.

"Take care of Mrs. Hao, and when she wakes up, call someone to call me in the study."

"Yes, General."

Afterwards, Shang Ji also lifted his foot and left Xitang Courtyard, after thinking about it, he went straight to Fuqiu Courtyard.

Although Cherry didn't say something clearly, Shang Ji knew what it meant.

Thinking of his nephew Shang Zhiping, Shang Ji felt a little worried.

I'm afraid that Du Jingyi will become the next him.

Therefore, I had to make a special trip to the sister-in-law's yard to have a simple chat.

Cherry patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

It has to be said that she has lived for more than ten years, and she can be regarded as following her master, wife and miss, and has met many people.

But every time I see my own general, I still have an unknown fear.

This kind of fear is not the kind of fear of being exposed after doing something wrong.

More of awe from the heart.

This may be caused by the hostility left on his body after fighting on the battlefield for many years.

Although there is restraint on weekdays, it will always spread out unconsciously.

Especially when he was angry, Cherry felt more frightening than the angry-eyed King Kong in the temple.

Turning around to look at the main room where there was still no movement, Cherry continued to sit on the porch, embroidering her handkerchief.

In the Fuqiu courtyard, the eldest sister-in-law Liu was teaching her son calligraphy.

Seeing Shang Ji striding in, he naturally knew why he came.

So he said to Shang Zhiping.

"Ping'er, I met your sixth uncle."

"Hello Uncle Six."

"Ah."

Seeing Shang Zhiping's presence, Shang Ji restrained his extroverted temper.

Although there was not much movement on his face, it could be seen that he was still very concerned about Shang Zhiping.

"Are you practicing calligraphy?"

"Yes."

His tone has softened a lot, but Shang Zhiping still couldn't help being a little scared.

Head lowered resignedly, not daring to look directly into Shang Ji's eyes.

Seeing this, sister-in-law Liu's eyes flashed a lot of distress.

So after slightly sighing, he said patiently.

"Ping'er, go out and rest for a while, I have something to say to your sixth uncle."

"Mother……"

Shang Zhiping's eyes seemed to express that he didn't want to leave, but he didn't know how to express it.

Sister-in-law Liu said with a slight smile.

"Go, it's alright."

Seeing this, Shang Zhiping nodded hesitantly, and then left the main room with his head down.

Seeing him like this, Shang Ji had a feeling that he hated iron but not steel.

But thinking of what happened before, he was powerless to refute something.

On the contrary, sister-in-law Liu didn't intend for her brother-in-law to keep staring at her son like this, so she asked as soon as the topic changed.

"But knowing that the fifth room is here to make trouble, is there a solution for the siblings?"

"Ah."

"Hey, it's also my fault that I haven't talked to her about this matter, and she is also young and a carefree person, so she thinks things simple. In the future, I will deal with the three-bedroom and five-bedroom, you Also talk to her, tell her to pay more attention to the matter of moving."

After sister-in-law Liu said this, she directly confirmed Shang Ji's guess.

Sure enough, that's what the servant girl Cherry meant.

So, after thinking about it, Shang Ji said it bluntly.

"Sister-in-law, I don't think Mrs. Du is easy to pinch. Since she is sure to deal with it this time, let her do it. You have been protecting her like this. She won't grow up."

Although the words were about Du Jingyi, the sister-in-law Liu could also hear it, and there was also Shang Ji's worries about his nephew Shang Zhiping.

It's better to talk about other things, so I talked about this all at once.

Suddenly, he touched the back scales of his sister-in-law Liu.

His eyes became sharp in an instant, and he stared at his uncle Shang Ji and said in a somewhat unreasonable manner.

"What's the matter? Is the sixth brother coming to teach me how to be a man now?"

"Sister-in-law misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding? It's just ridiculous. The siblings didn't ask anything clearly, and sent 100 taels of silver to Wufang in a hurry. Those people saw that the money was so good, would they let it go easily in the future? It's only been a few days in Dongyuan Is it going to be destroyed in her hands like this in the peaceful days of the year?"
