My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Princess Fu smiled and replied.

Made the princess laugh.

Then, Princess Fu glanced at Du Jingyi, whose intentions were unclear.

Everyone has their own thoughts on a meal.

At the door of the Duke's Mansion, Shang Yukuan saw off his colleagues with a grimace on his face, his eyes slightly red, and it was obvious that he was not in a good mood.

On the other hand, Shang Ji standing next to him didn't have much expression, he was still as calm as in the morning.

After everyone was sent away, Shang Yukuan couldn't help but ask.

Rokuro, if word of what happened today spreads out, will it have any negative impact?

Shang Ji lowered his head and glanced at his father, then asked.

What does father mean by having a bad influence? On Prince Fu's Mansion? Or on Duke Guo's Mansion?

Both of them have. After all, they are also our own children. This grandson broke his leg. I can't do anything because I have to hold both sides. What should I do next?

Shang Ji glanced at his father indifferently, and then replied.

I'm going to ask Mrs. Wei and Princess Fu now. My son still has something to do in his room, so I won't talk to his father anymore.

After that, he took Shang Zhiping and left the gate.

When leaving, he didn't forget to take Xing Zhao, who was watching the excitement a few steps away, back to Dongyuan.

In the flower hall, after Mrs. Wei respectfully sent Princess Yuehua and the ladies away, she hurriedly took Princess Fu to Chengmingyuan.

Looking at their busy footsteps, Mrs. Xing snorted coldly.

Is it possible that the mountain at home has collapsed? Are you so anxious?

Du Jingyi didn't know the whole picture, so he didn't comment and said to Mrs. Xing.

It's a rare visit for my aunt. Please come with us back to Dongyuan first and have a nice cup of tea before leaving.

Okay, let's go.

At this point, a few people returned to Dongyuan safely.

When they arrived at the door, they happened to catch up with Shang Ji bringing Shang Zhiping and Xing Zhao back.

The whole family finally met.

During this encounter, Du Jingyi first saw his husband, and then the Cousin Zhao in Xue Niang's mouth.

As expected, he was born suave and elegant, possessing the nobility and unruliness of a child from an aristocratic family.

Xing Zhao glanced and saw Du Jingyi.

Then he turned his head and glanced at Shang Ji next to him, and then said in surprise.

It's strange that my cousin, Shao Yu, doesn't miss the military camp. It turns out that my cousin is so beautiful.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Xing slapped her on the back of the head and said viciously.

You brat, you dare to tease even your cousin and sister-in-law, I'm afraid it'll make your skin itch.

Then it was time to twist his ears.

Xing Zhao groaned and hurriedly hid behind Shang Ji, begging for mercy.

Mother, my son is already in his twenties, why is he still lecturing a child? Do I want to lose face? Look, are you kidding your cousins?

Mrs.

This brat has been pampered since he was a child, so he doesn't learn the rules very well. Don't mind, Rokuro's wife.

Xing Zhao was teasing Shang Ji and Du Jingyi, so Mrs. Xing said this to Du Jingyi.

However, Du Jingyi took a step forward and said generously.

Don't be polite, aunt. We are all one family. It would be interesting if Cousin Zhao has a more lively temper.

She spoke as clearly as jade beads falling on a plate. Xing Zhao smiled after hearing this.

My cousin is still good at recognizing people.

Shang Ji glanced at him sideways with a cold face, and Xing Zhao didn't dare to speak any more, no matter how many bastard words he had.

Sister-in-law Liu responded when she saw this.

Let's go, let's go. It's rare for aunt and cousin Zhao to come over, so don't stand here and talk.

With this opening, everyone entered the gate of Dongyuan.

Because Xing Zhao was here, he was more or less a foreigner, so the sister-in-law asked someone to entertain him in the flower hall.

Along the way, Mrs. Xing looked around.

She hasn't been back to Sui'an City for three or four years, so she feels both familiar and unfamiliar with Dongyuan.

It seemed that there was more vitality than before, so he smiled and said something.

It seems that the new gardener hired is good. Even the yard has been tidied up differently than before.

After hearing her words, Du Jingyi glanced at Mrs. Xing with a somewhat discerning eye, and then answered with a smile.

They are the masters invited from Suzhou. The general's palace will also arrange for them to take care of it in the future.

No wonder, the gardens are beautiful, and the one in Suzhou is the most outstanding. The craftsmanship of the masters there is certainly not bad.

As he talked, he arrived at the flower hall.

After sitting down, Du Jingyi asked Mama Cai to serve tea and cakes.

They all had just eaten, so naturally they weren't hungry.

It's just something that is indispensable for a family to sit together and chat.

Seeing that everyone was sitting firmly, Xue Niang finally couldn't help but ask.

Sixth brother, what happened earlier? We saw Aunt Jiao coming in a hurry while we were eating. After saying a few words, Mrs. Wei's face collapsed, and then the fourth sister-in-law followed Aunt Jiao and left. , she didn’t show up until Princess Yuehua left, it’s not like they can do anything in the same room.”

With a person like Princess Yuehua holding her, how could a spirit like Fourth Sister-in-law be willing to leave.

Even if I leave, I think I will finish the matter as quickly as possible and come back to continue to fawn over.

How could it be gone forever.

Hearing this, Shang Ji didn't even raise his eyebrows.

Instead, Xing Zhao next to him explained excitedly.

Wei Jiaheng gave Shang Zhihe a slingshot. Prince Fu was accidentally hit in the leg when he entered the palace. He thought it was Shang Zhihe who did it, so he stepped forward and broke Shang Zhihe's leg.

What?

Xue Niang looked at Xing Zhao in disbelief, obviously unable to adapt to the news.

Du Jingyi was a little confused and asked immediately.

Really broken?

Um.

Shang Ji nodded in response, and then Du Jingyi believed it.

Then she glanced at Xing Zhao, with doubt in her eyes.

Shang Ji raised the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, his wife's mind was spinning faster.

He didn't even say anything, but he guessed about 70% or 80% of the time.

Mrs. Xing was also well aware of her son's nature, so she also glanced at him sideways, with suspicion in her eyes, but she didn't say much.

Everyone present understands it, and those who don’t understand will naturally not notice it.

So Xue Niang sighed.

It's also his bad luck that caused him to offend the Buddha, Prince Fu.

Calling him Buddha is to give him face, otherwise, calling him Yaksha is just as good.

Everyone didn't have much affection for Shang Zhihe, so when they heard that his leg was broken, their first reaction was pain, and then it was nothing.

The broken leg issue is Xiyuan's trouble after all.

After they said a few words, they didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, Shang Ji looked at Mrs. Xing, seemingly hopeful, but with a hint of worry in his tone.

Aunt, grandmother, and aunts, are you okay?
