Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 83

The one who spoke was naturally Goro's wife.

She can be regarded as the hottest of the four, so compared to the timid Mrs. Guo, the frowning Mrs. Ni, and the always sitting upright Shang Qiniang, she is a bit more at ease.

Two cups of tea were poured out, but no one came.

She was already a little impatient, but at this moment she couldn't help but think that Du Jingyi didn't deliberately trick them into coming here, so as to pass them off.

So she thought secretly in her heart, wait another quarter of an hour, if the person still doesn't come, then she really has to go forcibly.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a shout from outside.

"The young lady is here."

As soon as the sound came out, the four of them looked at the entrance of the flower hall.

Shang Qiniang had already got up, but it was obvious that everyone was sitting and had no choice but to sit down resentfully.

Wulang's daughter-in-law can sit still, I don't know how old she is.

On the contrary, Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Ni, the two serious elders, were a little restless.

I don't know whether I should stand up to greet her, or sit like a daughter-in-law like Goro.

Before the two of them could come to any conclusion, the well-dressed Du Jingyi had already walked in, followed by Cherry and Li Zhu.

Among the maidservants, the two of them could be regarded as the pretty-looking ones, and besides Du Jingyi's side, they were quite well-informed.

Therefore, she looked a bit more relaxed and extravagant than Shang Qiniang, a straight lady.

It was Shang Qiniang's first visit to Dongyuan.

So when she saw Du Jingyi and her maids coming, she couldn't help but lower her head with some inexplicable inferiority complex.

Wu Lang's daughter-in-law saw it, so Du Jingyi naturally saw it too.

It's just that what they think in their hearts is quite different.

Since Mrs. Ni's last encounter with Du Jingyi in the flower hall, she felt that this nephew and daughter-in-law were not easy to talk to.

I don't know why, but my daughter-in-law always feels that she can handle her, so she insists on coming here today.

If she hadn't taken care of the child in her womb, Mrs. Ni would not have been willing to go into this muddy water.

At this moment, I have to bite the bullet and come here.

He smiled at Du Jingyi, but there was some reluctance and worry in that smile.

Mrs. Guo lowered her head, and the handkerchief in her hand was crumpled.

Du Jingyi took a glance and knew everyone's attitude, so he said to everyone with a decent smile.

"The aunts have been waiting for a long time, and the sister-in-law and seventh sister have also been waiting for a long time."

Wu Lang's daughter-in-law is also going to be a mother. When she saw Du Jingyi's ruddy face, she naturally knew what she had gone through.

So he pretended to be very familiar and joked.

"The general and his siblings are really a loving couple of Qin Se and Ming. It's been a long time since you can't get up these days. It's really amazing."

If someone close to him joked about this kind of words, Du Jingyi might still think it was caring.

But from the mouth of Wulang's daughter-in-law, I don't feel it.

On the contrary, I feel a little unhappy.

So he didn't answer, just looked at her with a light smile and said.

"Fifth sister-in-law is here today, I'm afraid it's not as simple as chatting with me, why don't we talk about business first?"

She was clear about it, which made Goro's wife a little embarrassed for a moment.

Shang Qiniang slightly raised her head and looked at the sixth sister-in-law.

In the past, I only saw her a few times at family banquets. Among the sisters-in-law, although she punched her eyes, it only happened for a moment.

Neither out of the limelight, nor nosy.

Therefore, Shang Qiniang didn't have a deep impression of Du Jingyi, and wondered if she was as insignificant as they were.

But who would have thought that with the return of the sixth cousin, she would suddenly become the most indispensable housewife in the entire Duke's mansion.

Even Fifth Sister-in-Law, who used to be as proud as a peacock in front of her, had a somewhat humble attitude.

She lives cautiously in the back house, so she naturally knows how to act according to people's faces.

Seeing this, I took a breath in my heart and told myself to pay more attention to my words and deeds, so as not to offend people without knowing it.

As for Wu Lang's daughter-in-law, who had always been somewhat arrogant, her eyes flashed with displeasure.

But no matter how unhappy she was, her husband and father-in-law didn't dare to disobey what they ordered.

So at this moment, I can only suppress the unhappiness in my heart, become a master who can bend and stretch, and change the topic as if I don't understand.

To Du Jingyi, he talked about the purpose of coming today.

"Since the siblings are so quick to talk, then I won't hide it. I'm here today for no other reason than to hope that the siblings can help the seventh sister for the sake of the whole family."

While talking, he also pretended to cry.

It really made Du Jingyi laugh a little bit.

It's just that she is not easy to expose, so she can only express some doubts.

"Seventh sister? What's wrong?"

"Of course it's about her marriage. She's not a few days younger than you, but now you've been married into the Duke's Mansion for more than three years, and she's still a girl at home. Doesn't that worry us?"

Hearing what Wulang's daughter-in-law said, Shang Qiniang's sideways face was slightly embarrassed.

They are also 18-year-old women, what kind of life is the sixth sister-in-law Du Jingyi in front of her, and what kind of life is she living.

She was born as a human being, she can enjoy all the good luck in this world, but it is so difficult for her to survive.

Thinking of this, the self-pity in his eyes became more real.

Du Jingyi saw it, and Mrs. Guo naturally saw it too.

The daughter is so forbearing and pitiful, after all, it has something to do with her.

So before anyone else could speak, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Cai's mother frowned when she saw it, and then said out loud.

"Second madam, do you want to go down with the old slave to wash your face and redress? You were crying so sadly that you didn't leave the gate of Dongyuan. Outsiders saw it and thought it was our young madam who insulted you."

She couldn't get used to this kind of woman who was crying at every turn.

Women's life is not easy, but in the end they have hands and feet.

When the days are not going well, I work hard to live.

What's the use of crying?
You can neither cry for food to satisfy your hunger, nor cry for money to support your family.

So in her place, she suddenly had a bad impression of Mrs. Guo who seldom met.

She probably knew that she had lost her composure, so Mrs. Guo hurriedly wiped away her tears.

He raised his face and looked at Du Jingyi, and said in a flustered and cowardly manner.

"No, no...Young Madam, I...I didn't mean that."

Du Jingyi didn't say anything, seeing Mrs. Guo's gaffe, she felt a little sad in her heart.

He can't even speak fluently, but one can imagine what kind of life he lived in Wufang for so many years.

And when she raised her hand to wipe her tears, Du Jingyi saw the bruise on her arm.
