My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Why did such a good girl become my cousin-in-law? If I had come to Jinling City a few years earlier, would I have...

Stop dreaming, your cousin-in-law doesn't like you.

Why?

Shang Ji glanced at Xing Zhao up and down with disdainful eyes, which made him a little confused, and then he spoke.

Because only I, the general, am her destined husband, and others who come early or late are useless.

That confidence was comparable to when he threatened to repel the enemy army in Dajin.

Seeing this, Xing Zhao was quite dumbfounded.

Okay, okay, I will take Lang'er back to Jinling City in two days. We are really both fallen people from the end of the world~~~

He really can't suffer any loss from his ungrateful temperament, so he has to talk about it to satisfy his needs.

When everyone gathered in the flower hall, sister-in-law Liu and Xue Niang had already arrived early, and they were all smiling happily.

Because after lunch, it was an auspicious time for the Guo family to come to get engaged.

Moreover, the two of them didn't know what had just happened in Xu Laiyuan, so their happiness at the moment was not mixed with other attitudes.

The granddaughter-in-law (granddaughter) has met her grandmother, third aunt, and fourth aunt.

Get up, what are you doing as a family?

Sister-in-law Liu saw Du Jingyi supporting Mrs. Gu at a glance, and the two had an inexplicable intimacy that she had never seen before. She was still a little curious in her heart, and saw someone outside raising her voice.

My cousin is here.

After a while, Gu Xiaolang also walked in.

Her mood wasn't very high, but she still had a decent smile on her lips.

The third aunt couldn't hold it any longer, so she walked over and held her hand tightly, as if she wanted to pass on her strength to her daughter. Gu Xiaolang also felt the care from his mother, so he felt even more guilty.

Just as his mood was about to collapse, he saw his fourth aunt walking over.

It seemed that he wanted to talk to his sister-in-law Liu, but in fact he was trying to protect Gu Xiaolang.

After all, it's better for one less person to know about this kind of thing, and Gu Xiaolang still wants to save face.

Xue Niang didn't have so many twists and turns in her heart, so she stepped forward and took Mrs. Gu's arm and said.

My granddaughter asked the kitchen today and said that she made grandma's favorite cabbage in white sauce and anchovy shrimps. She must use more of them later.

Okay. Only when you are full can you have the strength to deal with Xiaoba's engagement, right?

After all, Xue Niang was a girl, so she was a bit thin-skinned. She blushed after being teased casually, and everyone turned their attention to her, so they paid less attention to Gu Xiaolang.

She was relieved, but her sister-in-law Liu, who was sitting next to Xue Niang, looked both happy and sad.

It was as if a scroll was unfolding in front of her eyes, showing the process of raising Snow Mother one by one.

The child who only reached the calf has now grown into a big girl and is about to get engaged. Although she is not a mother, she has taken care of her like a mother for so many years, so she is naturally more moved than others.

Xue Niang also knew this very well, so when she looked at her sister-in-law, she thanked her from the bottom of her heart.

The dishes were served quickly, and Shang Zhiping also came. The family sat down in the flower hall and started chatting and having lunch.

It took less than half an hour and it was almost done, so everyone went to the front hall to drink tea and wait for the Guo family to arrive.

Another half an hour passed, and Xue Niang's heart was agitated. Although she was sitting in the hall, her thoughts were no longer here.

On the other hand, Mrs. Gu was as steady as a rock and was not in a hurry.

Du Jingyi was impressed by what he saw and told himself that he should learn more.

Before the idea came to fruition, Butler He walked in with a smile on his face and said happily.

Old lady, the Guo family has arrived at the gate.

Who are they coming?

Prime Minister Guo, Mrs. Guo, Mr. Guo, Mrs. Guo, and the fourth son of the Guo family are all here. They also brought many engagement gifts. They are waiting at the door now.

Why don't you invite them in?

My servant said, it's just that the Prime Minister said that the woman's family wouldn't let anything go, so they didn't dare to touch it without permission.

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu couldn't help laughing.

This old cunning guy is still as fond of joking as before. Let's go. My old lady will pick her up in person.

If the Guo family is like this, it will give Xue Niang face.

We want everyone in the world to know that the Guo family sincerely wants to marry Shang Xueniang, so they are making such a big fanfare.

Mrs. Gu also wanted to go back to the Guo family to save face.

The relationship between you and me will be related by marriage in the future, so it is appropriate to support each other.

The gate of the General's Mansion was lively just yesterday, and today there were many people gathered around it.

The Guo family was going to be engaged to a merchant. This matter was no secret in Gaomen Courtyard, but this was the first time the people had heard about it, so they all stood around and watched curiously.

The fourth son of the Guo family is a capable man. He is young and has a good family background. I thought he would marry a princess or something, but I didn't expect that he would marry a merchant.

Who is getting married? Does the merchant have any unmarried girls?

Yes, she is a young lady born to the original Mrs. Gu, but I don't know what she is like. I heard that she is a little weak and sick, so she keeps her in the yard and doesn't like to come out to see people.

Ah, isn't that a pity? A good son marries a sick man.

Who said it wasn't?

The gossip and rumors among the people never stopped for a moment, and all these words fell into the ears of Guo Jiashilang, so the smile on his face faded a lot at this moment.

But then I thought about it, luckily she wasn't very provocative in the past, otherwise I'm afraid that their marriage wouldn't have happened so quickly, so I felt relieved.

His smile was brighter than before, and he wanted to let the world know.

He, Shiro Guo, sincerely proposed to marry the eighth lady of the merchant, not for status or fame, but simply because he wanted to choose a wife of his choice to spend the rest of his life with.

Therefore, when Mrs. Gu appeared, he looked at Shang Xueniang who was supporting her with a burning look in his eyes.

This was probably the first time Xue Niang had shown her face in front of the people. Although she was extremely nervous, she would never forget the rules her grandmother taught her.

Is this the sick girl you're talking about? She's just farting. I think she's a fairy girl, so she's pretty good.

That's right, look at her skin color, her aura, and her body shape. How can a sick person be so good?

Hey, didn't I hear that too? Go to the theater and stop talking.

People have two skins, but sometimes the best way to break rumors is to face them. Shang Xueniang was unknown in the past, but in the future, her reputation will spread.
