My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 79 Black and white faces

“I don’t care what method he uses, I must get it done! Otherwise, I will go out and publicize how harshly our favored general treats his family!”

Hearing this, Shang Yukuan was angry and helpless.

Facing his fifth uncle who was always domineering and unreasonable, Shang Yukuan really wanted to kick him a few times to vent his anger.

When the people from the fifth house saw the big house’s promise, they immediately pulled the fifth old man to leave.

Don't let the situation that you have worked so hard to get ruined by him in just a few sentences. That would be a loss that outweighs the gain.

So the fourth master Shang and the fifth master Shang "supported" the fifth old master from left to right and immediately left the gate of Yunjinyuan.

After they left, Shang Yukuan let out a long sigh, looked at Mrs. Wei rather sadly and said.

"What do you promise them to do? Liulang may not be willing to do this. If the fifth uncle really goes to make trouble outside, won't he be rushing to cause trouble for Liulang?"

 Shang Ji, the son, has been raised in his father-in-law's house since he was a child, and he is not very close to him.

 But as a father, he is also sincerely happy to see his son achieve such success, and hopes that he will be well.

 The matter of the third and fifth houses should not be offended by him as much as possible.

 Fortunately, they would move out in a while, so Shang Yukuan always felt that he could do his best to provide for his two uncles until they die.

 When they are gone, the people in this courtyard should no longer be under the control of the government.

 When the time comes, Mrs. Wei can do whatever she wants.

 But now, he seems to have caused trouble for his son Shang Ji again, so he is very angry.

Mrs. Wei has been serving him for more than thirty years, so she doesn't know what he is thinking.

So he used his usual tricks again, his nose became sore, his eyes became red, and he said sadly.

"Master, you have heard how my fifth uncle scolded us and how I scolded my aunt. For all these years, I have supported them as my ancestors, but in the end I didn't even have the basic respect. "

"Speaking of which, don't you just look down on the power of our couple? Now that the most capable man in the family is back, it is natural that he should take on some tasks. Is it possible that we will always be the first?"

As he spoke, he became even more sad, which made Shang Yukuan very embarrassed.

 On one side is his son, who makes him very proud and happy, and on the other side is his pillow companion who has been with him for many years.

 No matter which one it is, he doesn't want to make it sad.

 But as the saying goes, it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty, not to mention that Shang Yukuan is not a great hero with good determination.

Being manipulated by Mrs. Wei, naturally she was speechless and could only shake her head and said.

"That's all, let me go and say it. Whether it can be done or not is not my concern. Sooner or later, the Duke's mansion will be handed over to him and Du Shi. Let them practice this matter."

"The master is right. How can this be accomplished without practice? Besides, don't worry too much. With Rokuro's current power and ability, maybe it can be accomplished with just a few words. Wouldn't it be better? "

 After hearing Mrs. Wei's answer, Shang Yukuan didn't know what to say for a while.

I just wanted to find an opportunity to talk about this matter with my son.

 But how to open this mouth made him very embarrassed.

 In Xitang Courtyard.

When the spy told Du Jingyi the news in detail, a disdainful smile appeared on her face.

Mrs. Wei was obsessed with blaming Dongyuan for this matter, and Du Jingyi did not hesitate to give in.

 Du Jingyi had already learned a rough idea about Aunt Shang from Aunt Dou.

I used to have some respect for my father-in-law, but now I think it’s a joke.

The person who cannot even see through his bed partner or his own daughter, and cannot control him, is either stupid and unaware of it, or he is weak and incompetent and cannot handle the situation.

 No matter what he is, in Du Jingyi's eyes, he is a useless person.

It’s just that it’s hard to say these words in front of everyone in Dongyuan, so I gave the order. "Sorry for the trouble, you two. If you have any new news, please report back to me."

  "Subordinates obey orders."

After the two people disappeared, the maid Yingying brought her a cup of tea to calm her down.

 “Young madam, take a sip of tea to moisten your throat.”

"Um."

Du Jingyi was thinking about how to clean up the fifth house while drinking tea.

Mrs. Wei was so fanciful that she could just blame the couple for this matter. Unfortunately, thinking too well will never end well.

Du Jingyi thought for a moment and then said to Cherry.

“Pack your bags and let’s go out.”

"Ah? What are you doing, madam? You're not running away, are you?"

　　Seeing the anxious look on Cherry's face, Du Jingyi said with a smile.

"When will your wife and I run away? We are obviously going to inspect Zhuangzi! The Chinese New Year is coming in two months. Shouldn't I be doing my part to patrol now?"

That’s what he said, but Cherry still felt a little strange.

A mere five-bedroom apartment can actually force them all to leave the house. Wouldn't it be a joke to say that?

But she had forgotten that Wufang was very tight-lipped now, and the matter hadn't come out yet, so there was no such thing as being forced to leave.

“Also tell the concierge of Dongyuan that if someone comes to the fifth room to look for you, they will not be allowed in for any reason.”

"yes."

Du Jingyi just wants Wufang to know how difficult this matter is.

　　After being treated coldly over and over again, when the fire is stirred up, things will get into trouble.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was waiting for a good show.

Seeing that his young lady was confident, Qingtao stopped trying to persuade her and quickly packed up her belongings.

Du Jingyi called Butler He and Aunt Dou, and told them about his visit to Zhuangzi.

Both of them were a little stunned. Why would they want to go out in such troubled times?

However, they all remembered firmly what their general said last time.

 Therefore, there is no hindrance.

He just sent a lot of capable servants to follow him, plus a team of personal guards left by Shang Ji to Du Jingyi and Liu Xun, and then quietly went out.

 The doorman thought that the Sixth Young Madam had gone out to play for a while and then came back.

Who knew that it would never come back.

When the news reached Mrs. Wei of Yunjinyuan, she gritted her teeth in anger.

“She actually left? Did she get any news in advance?”

 Mother Jiao next to her shook her head and said.

“The people in the fifth house were afraid that the news would leak out, so they kept a tight lid on it. The master hadn’t had time to tell the young master about it yet. From this point of view, the sixth young lady should not know.”

 “Could it be a coincidence?”

 The inspection of Zhuangzi was originally done at this time of year.

 The autumn harvest is over, and we need to make some arrangements for the coming year.

Mrs. Wei had such an arrangement in the past, and Du Jingyi’s dowry also included a large farm and farm, so it seemed reasonable.
