My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

 Chapter 88 Two-faced Man (monthly ticket plus more updates)

By the way, I also held a grudge against Mrs. Wei for "making suggestions".

She herself is living a comfortable life, but she still has to stretch her hands so far to take care of the affairs of the fifth house, which is simply infuriating.

Seeing this, Erlang's wife took a step forward and said to Shang Liuniang.

"Good girl, please listen to my sister-in-law's advice. If your mother's family is strong, your future will be bright. If the fourth mother can enter the prince's house, you will gain three points more respect in the Jia family, and our third room can also follow you. Yan, isn’t this a great good thing?”

“Girls from the Jia family are so young, why would they want to make such a big splash? I guess so.”

Hearing her words, Shang Liuniang also pretended to lament.

“What my second sister-in-law said is true. Yesterday, the Jia family’s sister came to my place crying and said she didn’t want to get married. I couldn’t do anything to comfort her even if I wanted to.”

As soon as these words came out, Erlang's wife found an opening and spoke immediately.

"Look, our fourth sister is going, you are good and we are good, and the girls from the Jia family are all a family. Is it possible that if you ask your fourth sister for a favor or something in the future, can she refuse you? "

“Wouldn’t it be a better idea for the Jia family to use their girls to marry into other famous families?”

Shang Liu Niang was thinking about what Erlang's wife said, and the third old man and the third old lady were also staring at her actions.

As if afraid that she would disagree, I tried to "persuade" a few more words.

However, I saw Shang Liuniang speaking vigorously.

"Second sister-in-law's words are reasonable. Why don't we go back and make some arrangements? The news you are waiting for me is that if we can enter the palace through the Jia family's door, it will be easy for us to rely on in the future."

"Okay, Liu Niang understands the truth. How could this family survive without you?"

 The third old lady liked Shang Liu Niang very much, and now she is naturally even more happy to see her helping her family like this.

 The most important thing is to get this matter over with quickly to avoid long nights and nightmares.

 Shang Liu Niang is never empty-handed when she comes, so she said to the maid Ru Yan.

"Take out the banknotes. Since the fourth sister is going to enter the palace, we must buy more. We don't have to make outsiders laugh at our poor third house."

That maid is good at acting, she said with a worried look.

“Madam, this is the money you just got from the accounting office. Didn’t you agree to go to a shop to do business?”

"Take it out. I will make this clear to my husband later. My parents' family is in a hurry. I can't live a happy life by myself, can I?"

 “Mrs.…”

 Shang Liuniang's behavior as a master and servant moved both the third old master and the third old lady.

 I wanted to say a few words of excuse, but when the three thousand taels of silver notes were taken out, the two of them remained silent.

Erlang's wife's eyes lit up, and she "picked it up" in a hurry.

 This time he said it more sincerely.

"Sixth sister cares so much about her mother's family. Even I, the second sister-in-law, admire her. Don't worry, I will make good use of this money for my fourth mother! The old prince, who must be called Prince Min, can't move her away even if he sees it. Open your eyes!”

She promised with all her heart, and Shang Liuniang was also extremely moved.

 The two of them competed with each other in speaking and acting, and this scene fell into Du Jingyi's ears through the spies' mouth without missing a word.

“If Shang Liu Niang has the mind to do things outside, she will be a powerful person.”

This can be seen just from the fact that she asked Shang Siniang and her mother's family to willingly send her to be a concubine in Prince Min's Mansion.

 She is double-dealing, playing both sides, taking advantage of everything, and making the person whose blood she **** extremely grateful.

 Sure enough, there is some skill.

“I don’t know how much she is greedy, but I don’t believe that the Jia family only paid for it with a mere three thousand taels!”

It was Li Zhu who spoke. Although she had never seen with her own eyes how much money the Jia family gave Shang Liu Niang.

 But in Sui'an City, the Jia family is still a relatively well-known wealthy family.

 It is probably impossible to buy out a life with three thousand taels.

"She can even push her own sister into a fire pit, so why is she afraid of paying so little money?" Cherry hit the nail on the head. The master and servant's understanding of Shang Liu Niang's cruelty has really reached a new level.

Du Jingyi didn’t speak, and just told the spy to keep watching.

 After a while, he called out "Mr. Liu".

Liu Xun, who didn't know where he came from, suddenly got into the main room, making Yingtao and Lizhu tremble with fright.

Hold on in front of Du Jingyi and said with a trembling voice.

"Who are you?"

 “I have seen the young lady.”

“Mr. Liu, no need to be polite, please get up.”

 “Mrs. Xie.”

Seeing this, the two maids realized that this person must be left by the general, and their precautions and worries were removed.

"Do you have any way to find out about the Jia family? You can start with Liu Niang in the mansion."

  "Subordinates obey orders."

 Liu Xun didn't even hesitate and agreed immediately. He really had some real ability.

Du Jingyi was also a little surprised. Such a person could be loyal to his husband, which shows the power of his ability.

 “In that case, I’d like to trouble Mr. Liu.”

Liu Xun nodded, and then left the main room in a flash.

 This ability made Li Zhu praise him repeatedly!

“Sure enough, the people following the general are much more powerful than that Luo guard!”

 Her words were approved by Cherry.

At first glance, this person has great abilities, unlike that guard Luo who can eat, talk a lot, and have no eyesight!

Seeing that Li Zhu was somewhat interested, Du Jingyi told Shang Ji his previous plan.

“Li Zhu, do you think Mr. Liu’s skills are great?”

"Um."

Li Zhu nodded her head heavily, which was much better than the bodyguards who taught her kung fu in the Du family.

 There is naturally appreciation and admiration in his eyes.

So Du Jingyi smiled and said.

"The general means that if you are interested, you can learn some kung fu from Mr. Liu, but I'm afraid you will be very tired. What do you think?"

"Ah? Can I learn from him? Does he accept female apprentices? If I can't learn, he won't beat me, right? If I go to learn kung fu, who will take care of the young lady?"

 A series of questions popped out of her mouth, making both Du Jingyi and Yingtao laugh.

"If you want to go, feel free to go. I will take good care of my wife here."

Cherry knows that Li Zhu usually likes to use two sets of punches, but her three-legged cat skills are indeed far behind if compared with Mr. Liu just now.

 That’s why I spoke like this.

 It is rare to have the opportunity to learn what you want to learn.

Seeing that both Yingying and the young lady were so supportive, Li Zhu thought for a moment and agreed.

“Don’t worry, young lady, I will be able to protect you when I return from my studies.”

The sun is high outside, but Xitang Courtyard is as lively as ever.
