My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Yes, yes, but they don't talk about goodwill. I used to use the reputation of my Du family to sell counterfeit medicines, but my father found out, so I reported it to the chamber of commerce and the government office early, saying that I would work with them. Divided into two, although the surname is still Du, they are already two families.

After hearing this, Mrs. Feng's face became better and she said with a smile.

I was afraid that this person would still be involved with you, so I rushed to report the news.

Du Jingyi remembered that her mother had mentioned to her before about raising funds for business in the North, and thought that this matter was probably going to blow up, but Mrs. Feng still couldn't see the flaw in her face, so she asked out of curiosity.

What's wrong? What did he do?

Hmph, people who are not overestimating their own capabilities have encouraged people from the Shangshu family of Jin to defraud a young master in Sui'an City of a lot of money. Now they are nowhere to be seen. Now everyone in the government is refusing to expose this matter. , but many people privately said that they would pay with his life.

Du Jingyi also knew that it must be Shangshu of Jin who was showing off his power.

Although it was Du Jingxian who started this matter, he still vouched for it.

How much did he lie to?

I heard it was three hundred thousand taels, but I'm not sure about the specific amount. My husband heard it when he was drinking and socializing outside, so I rushed to send you a letter. But now that the lawsuit has been filed, it's fine. If you have a family, then even if the King of Heaven comes, I won’t be blamed for you!”

Mrs. Feng Shao was also a rare honest person, so she pointed it out immediately.

Whose family doesn't have a few bad relatives, so the Du family is really lucky to be able to get out of this matter first. Otherwise, the Du family will probably have to bear the three hundred thousand taels.

Du Jingyi thought the same as Mrs. Feng Shao.

But even so, she still had to go home to check on the situation before she could rest assured.

Otherwise, if those clingy relatives insist on making a scene like the merchant's third and fifth bedrooms, it will not look good on the scene.

Missing?

Whether he was really missing or was hiding, Du Jingyi felt 10,000 contempt in his heart.

After saying what she had come to talk about, Mrs. Feng felt a lot more relaxed. She looked around at the situation in the greenhouse and said with emotion.

The renovation of the greenhouse in our house has been scheduled until May and June. It is estimated that it will not be completed until the end of the year. I don't know if it can be arranged during this winter.

Sister-in-law Six is ​​more comfortable here. Otherwise, when winter comes, I will come to the General's Mansion to stay.

Du Jingyi slightly raised his eyebrows. She didn't think that Mrs. Feng was so enthusiastic about dealing with her because of her own reasons. There must be some reasons for her family and her husband's reasons.

But showing good intentions is better than making bad intentions, so Du Jingyi never refuses these good intentions.

Then he chuckled and said to Mrs. Feng.

Young Madam is willing to come. It's not too late for me to be happy.

Then it's settled. When winter comes, I'll bring my two boys to the general's mansion to join in the excitement. I'm afraid the six-sister-in-law's baby will be five or six months old by then. It's time for fun. Woolen cloth.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi smiled lightly and touched his belly, his eyes full of love.

Whenever someone mentioned her child, she always felt a little softer in her heart.

The Duke of Fengguo also wanted a family with meritorious service including civil servants and military generals. If he could have a good relationship with his children, it would be of great benefit to his future.

Du Jingyi was also happy thinking of this win-win situation.

The two were chatting and laughing, as if they had known each other for a long time, and they were not at all restrained.

The Guo family had their lunch, and Mrs. Gu personally sent it out. People outside started to speculate that the wedding between the Guo family and the merchant was not far away.

After all, everyone had smiles on their faces.

That night, Shang Ji rode his horse back.

The dusty weather has lost some of the coldness of the twelfth lunar month of winter, and it can be seen that early spring is also coming quietly.

He washed up as usual before entering the main room. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the aroma of food, and the glutton in his stomach kept screaming.

It was getting late, and Du Jingyi had already put on his underwear, so the clothes were a little close to the body, and his abdomen was swollen a lot.

Seeing his beloved wife looking like this, Shang Ji felt warm in his heart.

He came forward, touched her belly, and asked softly.

Isn't the child naughty?

It's okay. I kick my body from time to time, but not too hard. I heard my grandmother and aunts say it's still early. I guess in two or three months, the movement will become louder.

Shang Ji basically came back every three or two days after the Lantern Festival.

Therefore, every time he saw Du Jingyi, he always asked the same question. Du Jingyi was not irritable and answered seriously every time.

After Shang Ji helped Du Jingyi sit down, he spoke.

I'll be more busy these days. I'll try to stay in the house and not go out when you give birth. I'll be able to keep abreast of you and the child every day, so I can feel more at ease.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi felt considerate.

The burden on the general is heavy, and I know it. My grandmother and the others will take care of me and the child. It will be fine. Besides, my mother will come over when the time comes. With her here, I still worry about my health. ?

Apart from anything else, this mother-in-law is really good at raising children after confinement. You can see it clearly just by looking at Sister Du Jingyi whom I met last time.

So Shang Ji smiled, his eyes feeling more reassured.

On the contrary, Du Jingyi fully informed the Guo family of their intention.

Grandma Guo means to send someone to make a decision after the eighth sister and her hairpin ceremony. Grandma also agrees, so we have to take care of this matter.

Originally, this matter was settled by seventy or eight points, but now that it is completely certain, it is also a good thing, so Shang Ji thought about it and said to Du Jingyi.

I have your majesty's reward, you have a huge dowry, and our family will not be short of money, so I thought of giving 30% of the things my mother left me to give to my eighth sister, so that she can get married. The Guo family can live a more satisfying life, what do you think?

Sister-in-law Liu had already divided the things left by Mrs. Gu into three parts. Those belonging to Xue Niang were given to Xue Niang, those belonging to Shang Ji were given to Du Jingyi, and those belonging to Shang Zhiping were kept by her for the time being.

When he gets married in the future and has a daughter-in-law who can take care of the house, she will be able to hand it over.

So when he heard Shang Ji's words, Du Jingyi didn't refute.

Don't worry, General. I'm already adding things for my eighth sister, but some of them won't be ready in a day or two. Fortunately, it's still early for her to get married, so there's no rush. I'll just have them all ready within a year or two.

Knowing that Du Jingyi had arrangements, Shang Ji relaxed his mind.
