My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

(3)

Therefore, Shang Ji didn't say much, nodded and said with clasped fists.

Listen to Nanny Qin, grandma should rest early, and my grandson will take care of you in the evening.

Okay, go ahead.

yes.

Everyone present went out, cutting off the warmth in the room.

The wind and snow suddenly rose, and the coldness swept over the sky and the earth.

Shang Ji took Du Jingyi and his aunts to say goodbye and returned to Xitang Courtyard.

Mrs.

As for her sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, she naturally wanted to take her son Shang Zhiping back to take a closer look.

In the greenhouse of Xu Laiyuan.

At this moment, only Mrs. Gu, Nanny Qin and Gu Xiaolang are here. They have seen many storms and waves, how can they not see through this idea of ​​love.

Have you seen it? Have you given up? Is your cousin interested in you?

Mrs. Gu asked the first thing she said, which made Gu Xiaolang burst into tears.

grandmother……

She is young and the only daughter in the family.

So I have always been pampered and raised, and I can get whatever I want.

Although he doesn't have an unreasonable temper, he is very straightforward and accepts death.

When she was born, Shang Ji was already twelve or thirteen years old, so the whole family never cared about her.

Just treat them as cousins.

But after something happened to the Gu family, Shang Ji grew up overnight.

From that high-spirited young man, he became more and more taciturn, as if a thousand pounds of burden were weighing on him, and he no longer looked young and energetic.

Gu Men died in the battle and Shang Ji was also injured.

But after recovering in Jinling City, he rushed all the way to Cezhou in a hurry.

From then on, we only saw each other once every three or two years.

Mrs. Gu feels sorry for her grandson who has to shoulder so many tasks at such a young age, and is also worried that her granddaughter will have no brothers or sisters to rely on.

So I always hope that they can be good brothers and sisters throughout their lives and rely on each other.

To be honest, Mrs. Gu didn't know when her granddaughter's love for Shao Yu changed from brother-sister love to love between a man and a woman.

At that time, she was busy being sad, busy in pain, and busy supporting the family.

And when she found out, this granddaughter was already deeply in love and couldn't extricate herself.

What can she do?

Grandma, if it was me who married cousin Shaoyu three years ago, wouldn't everything be different...

She cried sadly, and what she said was innocent.

Mrs. Gu was so angry that she hurriedly said something.

Even if you want to marry, have you ever thought about whether your cousin Shaoyu is willing to marry?

She has raised her grandson for so many years, and it is easy to guess what kind of person he is and what kind of thoughts he has.

One sentence shattered the dream in Gu Xiaolang's heart again.

Seeing her crying so sadly, Mrs. Gu felt very sad.

But so what if it’s sad?

She could neither allow her grandson to divorce his wife and remarry, nor could she allow the Gu family's only daughter to be a concubine.

So, this was a dead end from the start.

At first, she still had the slightest idea of ​​fulfilling her granddaughter's wish.

After all, Mrs. Wei made the decision for her grandson, so she might not be a good person.

I also thought that if this bride couldn't do it, then she would have to make some jokes out of it.

But since she learned that Du Jingyi was pregnant, Mrs. Gu knew it was impossible.

Otherwise, according to the grandson's thoughts, if he is not interested in this person and will not even touch his body, how can there be any talk of pregnancy?

As expected, since meeting Shang Ji today, he has been very considerate and considerate towards his wife in his words and deeds. If it weren't for the fact that his elders are all here, he would probably be even more intimate and affectionate.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu felt like a mirror.

The couple were very affectionate, but her granddaughter was destined to be greatly heartbroken.

So he waved to her and motioned for her to come forward.

Gu Xiaolang cried until his eyes were red. He knelt forward and threw himself into Mrs. Gu's arms, becoming louder and louder.

Nanny Qin sighed and comforted her in a low voice from the side.

Miss Ninth, don't be sad. There are many good men in this world.

But I just... just want to marry my cousin Shaoyu, my grandmother...

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu said with a straight face.

But you've also seen it, how is the friendship between your cousin and sister-in-law? Do you really want to be the one who interferes? Don't you want to lose your own face, your parents' face, and the Gu family's face?

Hearing this, Gu Xiaolang could not refute.

If she was just the daughter of an ordinary family, she might be able to do some extraordinary things.

But when the word Gu family was pressed upon her, there was no way she would let it be brought to shame.

If the glory that her grandfather, uncles, father and brothers had built with their flesh and blood and heroic souls was destroyed by her, then she would have no shame to see anyone even if she died.

Thinking of this, the pain in my heart became more and more unstoppable.

The granddaughter raised by Mrs. Gu herself still has a good temperament.

Therefore, she didn't think that Gu Xiaolang would really ruin the Gu family because of their children's love, so she could only pat her on the back and said.

Cry loudly. It's time to wake up after crying. You and Shaoyu can't be husband and wife, but you can still be brother and sister. With him protecting you, you won't have no one to support you no matter which family you marry in the future.

Mrs. Gu persuaded her earnestly, but Gu Xiaolang still cried sadly.

She wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by Nanny Qin next to her.

The girl's love may not necessarily have to be with him, but because the ignorance when she was young was shattered into nothingness in an instant, she was somewhat reluctant to let go.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu stopped mentioning it.

He only comforted her in waves, just like in the past years.

The family-oriented woman shed too many tears, so she didn't want her granddaughter to take such a path in the future.

If possible, just find a more ordinary family and enjoy peace for the rest of your life.

The turmoil in Xu Laiyuan did not spread.

Therefore, in the greenhouse of Xitang Courtyard, Shang Ji calmly prepared dishes for Du Jingyi as if nothing had happened.

He kept mumbling.

Let Danruo show off his skills today, and let grandma and the others taste the delicacies from all over the world.

Du Jingyi was in a lack of interest. There were some words stuck in his chest, and he didn't know whether he should say them or not.

These are just her guesses and have not been truly confirmed.

If I tell my husband now, wouldn’t I be telling my husband?

She didn't want to be that jealous woman who was so jealous that she even lost her true nature over a little thing about the family.

But these days when she was getting along with Shang Ji, she also recognized from the bottom of her heart that she would go hand in hand in the future.

Therefore, hiding her emotions and making trouble is not her style.

So, he stopped using his chopsticks and said with a serious face.

General, I have something to say.

(4)

Shang Ji was a little confused as to why she was so serious all of a sudden. He thought it was because her body was out of shape, so he quickly spoke up.

What's wrong?

Du Jingyi took a deep breath and said bluntly.

I have never met Cousin Lang before, so I don't know much about her. But after today, I feel that she seems to have some other intentions for the general.

You mean something else? What else can we be besides brother and sister?

As soon as the words were spoken, Shang Ji understood.

At first, she was a little wary of Wei Jialian whose only name was revealed, but now that she said so, it seemed that she was aware of something.

So, he looked at Du Jingyi silently and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Cherry left the greenhouse and went to rest in the side room.

There are some things that she, a maid, cannot comment on. Since my young lady dares to mention them, she will naturally handle the matter well.

After a short while, Shang Ji spoke, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

You should know that I treat her exactly like a sister.

When Du Jingyi heard this, he did not refute, but looked at him firmly before speaking.

Once upon a time, the general and my concubine once said that being a husband and wife is not just about a day or two, but a long and long period of ordinary and trivial matters. I have memorized this sentence, and the general also said, what kind of concubine is a concubine? You are not interested. If I am willing, we can have more children and have fun. I will also remember this sentence.

It's not that I can't tolerate people's temper, but if others insist on it, I won't care about it anymore. The Gu family is kind to the general, and there are some things I can't say at will. If they really mean that, then I wish to Invite yourself to leave the house and leave happily.

As for the kids, it's just right.

She took her back to the Du family, and no one could say a word no!

Hearing what Du Jingyi said, Shang Ji's anger suddenly rose.

It's obviously an unreasonable thing, so why can He Li be involved?

Is it possible that she has always had this idea in her mind?

Only then will he always leave a way out for himself, ready to withdraw at any time.

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but become cruel, and for the first time he looked coldly at Du Jingyi.

Du Jingyi was not afraid and looked over.

Perhaps because her attitude was particularly firm, Shang Ji was defeated in the end.

He said angrily and dissatisfied but helplessly.

Cousin Lang will only be my cousin for the rest of her life, and you and this kid can't even think of escaping from me!

There was absolute domineering and disallowance in his tone, and the meaning was very clear.

He had never been interested in Gu Xiaolang, how could he have a quarrel with Du Jingyi because of this?

Remembering that she was eager to stay in Xu Lai Courtyard just now, maybe from that moment on, my wife already understood everything.

Then, he sighed and hugged Du Jingyi.

Although she was a little reluctant, she had to say that Shang Ji's statement just now calmed her down a lot.

My sister is absolutely right when she says that she is worried and worried during pregnancy.

The more she thought about it, the more sore her nose became.

In the end, I don't know why I was crying, but tears fell on the back of Shang Ji's hands.

He was so frightened that he immediately turned his head to look. Sure enough, the lady already had cheeks like a tabby cat.

Hey, I don't know what to say? If I really had that intention, I would have proposed marriage to my grandmother after Cousin Lang finished her mourning ceremony. Why should I delay it until now?

As soon as he said this, Du Jingyi believed what he said, and for a moment he felt that what he had just done seemed a bit ridiculous.

But after all is said and done, this couple can stay together for a long time.

Otherwise, her love would be wasted in misunderstandings every day, and she didn't want to live like this.

So he grabbed Shang Ji's sleeve and said.

The general said it himself. If you dare to break your promise...

If I dare to break my promise, I will rip off my head and give you a kick as a Cuju!

Du Jingyi was startled by his swearing, and quickly covered his mouth and said.

Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about?

Seeing that she was no longer sad, Shang Ji took her hand, put it on her cheek and rubbed it briefly.

His eyes are back to what they were before, full of doting.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi calmed down and spoke.

The prawns cooked in front of the general are good, I want to eat them.

When Shang Ji heard this, he secretly raised the corners of his mouth, wiped his hands with a handkerchief and started peeling her off.

Work hard without complaining and never say a word.

Hearing the laughter of the young lady next door, Cherry breathed a sigh of relief.

She hoped that the young lady could live such a good life for the rest of her life.

After eating and drinking enough, Du Jingyi went to take a nap.

Seeing her steady breathing and rosy face, Shang Ji couldn't help but kiss her forehead, then stood up and left, heading straight to the West Crossing Courtyard.

The purpose of his trip was not to visit Xu Laiyuan, but to go to Huanyun Courtyard to find his aunt, Mrs. Xing.

But the excuse for the outside world is naturally that there is something wrong with Xing Zhao.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

After asking a maid to inquire, I found out that my aunt was still talking in the Mengyu Courtyard where my third and fourth aunts lived.

Therefore, he could only wait.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xing came back without waiting for a while.

When he saw Shang Ji, he asked with doubts in his eyes.

You are not with your wife in Xitang Courtyard, why did you come to see me for something?

Shang Ji nodded and glanced in the direction of Xu Laiyuan inadvertently.

Smart people don't say stupid things to each other. Mrs. Xing understood with just one glance.

Go to your study and talk. It's too close here.

Okay, aunt please!

Shang Ji's study is naturally in Xitang Courtyard, but Xitang Courtyard is very large, and his study is a secret place, so it is strictly guarded. It is impossible for outsiders to inquire about the information.

Charcoal fire cannot be used in the study, so the earth dragon was burned.

However, compared with the greenhouse, this earth dragon is still a bit inferior, so Mrs. Xing did not take off her cloak.

He asked directly to Shang Ji.

Does your wife know?

Shang Ji raised his eyebrows. He hadn't said anything yet, but his aunt knew clearly.

So he nodded and said with a slightly irritable look on his face.

She mentioned this to me during lunch. Does Cousin Lang really mean this? Grandma and aunt also know about it?

After hearing this, Mrs. Xing couldn't help but sigh.

Your wife's eyes are too sharp. If I hadn't known in advance, I really wouldn't have been able to tell. How long have we seen her now? She can already guess everyone's thoughts!

Shang Ji really didn't know whether to feel proud or helpless for a moment.

His wife is too smart, and there is nothing he can do about it.
