My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Shang Ji! Du Jingyi!

The hatred in his eyes makes him want to eat their bones and drink their blood!

It's hateful, but Dongyuan is in the Duke's Mansion after all. If the fever is severe, they can't even think about living there.

So he quickly gave orders and organized everyone in the house to go forward to put out the fire.

But the fire was so powerful that it was delayed all night.

When the sky started to get a little brighter, the fire was finally put out.

Mrs. Wei and Shang Silang looked at the ruins in front of them with stars in their eyes.

Such a good location, but nothing is left after being burned!

If nothing else, it would cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to restore it to its original state.

But everyone knew what was going on in the Duke's Mansion.

If there is no money for repairs, the Dongyuan of the Duke's Mansion will continue to rot.

If there is such a place in a good house, how can other people live there?

For a time, both mother and son were in trouble.

I really underestimated this wolf cub who was raised by his family to be so cruel!

What mother said is that this move is simply to break with our government!

Mrs. Wei means the same thing.

Originally, she planned to keep the Liu family as hostages in the house even if Shang Ji and Du Jingyi left.

First of all, it was for her own reputation. It was difficult for people to say that she, the step-wife, was not able to retain the blood of the first wife.

Secondly, I also want Shang Ji and his wife to take care of them, and there will always be a way to deal with them.

Who would have thought that they would come up with such a move, Dongyuan was burned to pieces, and even if the three of them stayed, they would have nowhere to go.

We can't let them go to Beiyuan and Sanfang to squeeze in.

Looking at the ruins on the ground, I couldn't help but hatch a vicious plan.

Hmph, don't think that by setting fire to Dongyuan, you can go to the General's Mansion and live a good life. I want them all to pay the price!

Who would have thought that while she was still shouting, the people from Dongyuan had already complained to the palace.

Mrs. Xing entered the palace with a whole house of sick women and children. They all knelt in front of Queen Guo and began to cry.

Please have mercy on me and help them. Look, if these two of them go back to the Duke's Mansion, they won't even have any bones left.

Following Mrs. Xing were Du Jingyi, eldest sister-in-law Liu, and eighth sister Xue Niang.

They were all considered seriously ill by the common people, so naturally they didn't look good.

All of them were sallow and thin, as if they had been abused.

The body also exudes a faint medicinal smell, and one can tell at a glance that it is caused by taking medicine for too long.

Queen Guo looked at them and remembered many things from the past.

Especially the eighth sister Xue Niang, who is quite similar to the late Mrs. Gu.

Remembering that she went into the palace and lay down before she died, she couldn't help but sigh.

However, before Queen Guo could speak, Mrs. Xing added.

Other things are easy to say, but Mrs. Du already has Liulang's flesh and blood in her belly, but she doesn't dare to announce it at all. She can only pretend to be sick and hide away. Otherwise, if Mrs. Wei finds out, she won't know how to kill her!

Pregnant?

Yes, my wife is more than two months pregnant.

Queen Guo glanced at Nanny An next to her and said excitedly.

Go and ask the imperial doctor to come over and let Mrs. Du take a look at her health.

yes.

When Nanny An went to ask for the imperial doctor, Mrs. Xing cried a lot.

The eldest sister-in-law Liu and the eighth sister Xue Niang were so frightened by this behavior of pretending to be sick and deceiving the queen that they did not dare to say a word.

But it was this kind of behavior that made Queen Guo mistakenly think that they were acting like this because they had been suppressed too much in the back house.

Otherwise, one is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke of Guo, and the other is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Guo.

Why are you so cowardly and timid?

I believe Mrs. Xing's words seven to eight points more.

I heard that Dongyuan burned down? What happened?

Seeing this, Du Jingyi could only lament and pretended to be embarrassed to speak.

Going back to my mother-in-law, the houses in Dongyuan have not been renovated since ten years ago, and there are many areas with peeling paint. Half a year ago, my wife specifically told my father-in-law that many of the fire-retardant paints in Dongyuan are of no use. They should be Need to repaint.

But Mrs. Wei has always been in charge of the middle-age gift. She said that the house has a lot of expenses and now there is no money to repair the house in Dongyuan. But when my father-in-law celebrated his birthday a few days ago, the whole Yunjin Courtyard was completely new.

At that time, the fifth uncle's family was causing trouble, and he teamed up with the third uncle's family to smash Yunjin Courtyard to pieces. It was repaired within a few days, so...if His Majesty hadn't rewarded the General's Mansion in advance, I'm afraid the people in Dongyuan would have I’m going to Beiyuan to live in the courtyard where my fifth uncle’s family once lived.”

After Du Jingyi said these words, he knelt down respectfully.

Not another word was said.

Mrs. Xing also knelt down and listened to her words carefully.

He seemed to calmly explain one thing, but in fact he revealed Dongyuan's difficult situation.

It was in disrepair, neglected, and allowed to be bullied.

Who can tolerate this?

When the queen heard this, she didn't know if she thought of some people or things around her.

His emotions also aroused a lot, and he said with a little anger.

Dongyuan is the daughter of Yunhe, and he is a direct descendant. How can he live like this?

Hearing this, the elder sister-in-law Liu and the eighth sister Xue Niang showed a lot of their true feelings.

After all, they really endured those difficult years day after day.

Therefore, both of them had red eyes and the one with a sore nose said.

My Majesty, the eldest man is gone, my mother-in-law is gone, and my grandfather's family is also gone. What status do we, an orphan, a widowed mother, and a weak sister, still have in the house?

Direct heir?

After Mrs. Wei was promoted to the throne, wouldn't her descendants also become direct descendants?

If Shang Ji hadn't come back victorious, I'm afraid they in Dongyuan would still be living the same tolerant life as before.

After hearing her speak like this, Queen Guo understood everything.

Thinking of the situation between himself and the prince, he also smiled sadly.

It's true that beauty is cut off before old age.

However, she is not Gu Yunhe, she is the queen of Daxing Dynasty, the mother of the prince, and the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's palace.

There are many people and forces behind her, so she can't do anything like Gu Yunhe's death.

So, he said calmly.

No matter how this fire was ignited, once it is ignited, it means that the kindness between you and the Duke's Mansion has come to an end. No matter if you move to the General's Mansion, I hope that you can all regain a new life.

With Queen Guo's words as guarantee, everyone's hearts dropped.

No matter how much temperament and methods Mrs. Wei has, she can't defeat the current queen.

Thank you for your blessing.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Nanny An had already brought the imperial doctor in.

The person who came was Wang Yizheng, who usually took Queen Guo's pulse and adjusted her body. He had thick hair, but he looked like he had an immortal spirit that is rare to see in a doctor.

Wang Yizheng, please come and get a safe pulse for the general's wife.
