Chapter 101 The Circle of Nobles

 Said slightly worriedly.

"Young madam, this young lady from the Wei family...isn't it Mrs. Wei who wants to infiltrate people into our courtyard?"

　　You must know that the general is now considered powerful and at the height of his power, and their young lady has been married for three years and has no children. I'm afraid...

After hearing this, Li Zhu came forward immediately.

 Her whole body was sore from practicing martial arts, but now her eyes were full of anger.

“Where is it? Look at it, slave!”

 Then he took the booklet and read it carefully.

 “Wei Jialian, the daughter of the Wei family, she is beautiful and tall, but she has not yet reached hairpins?”

 When the last sentence was spoken, there was still a bit of surprise.

"No, she's about the same age as our eighth lady. Do you want to send her in? The general is old enough to be her father!"

 …

When Li Zhu finished speaking, Du Jingyi couldn't help but hold his forehead.

 Sometimes I think Li Zhu is really innocent and cute, and sometimes I think this girl is really brainless.

　　It can be said that this Miss Wei is young, but it cannot be said that our general is old.

You are such a stupid girl to give such an example!

Cherry also patted her head gently and said with wide eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If Mother Dou hears this, she will definitely give you a slap in the face."

Li Zhu shrank his neck and showed a flattering expression.

 “Hey, I was wrong, I was wrong, I couldn’t hold it back for a while.”

　　Then he shut up and stepped aside, while Yingtao handed the book back to his young lady.

Du Jingyi took it over, his face was not too troubled, and he explained.

"It's not necessarily true. If her status requires her to be a concubine or a businesswoman, do you think she would agree?"

“What if she has been admiring our general since she was a child and insists on entering?”

Cherry is more worried than Du Jingyi.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi smiled even more and couldn't help but give her a nod.

"She is only fourteen now, sixteen years younger than our general. The general at that time must have been struggling in the Gu family's military camp. How can we get to know her?"

 “Young madam is right, this slave is mistaken.”

Cherry just felt relieved when Du Jingyi said another sentence.

"However, it is possible that she falls in love at first sight when the general returns to court."

“Then Madam, why don’t you respond quickly? If we really let her enter our Dongyuan gate, how will we be able to live an happy life in the future?”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi smiled.

"Silly girl, if you really try your best to get in, just give it up. There are many ways to deal with her, so that you don't have to worry about me in the next courtyard. What if I'm a jealous woman?"

“Young madam, you don’t even have a legitimate son, so if you bring a concubine in at this time, wouldn’t it be a huge threat? Even if you have a young master or young lady in the future, wouldn’t it be just as dangerous?”

The Du family has a simple population. Mr. Du has never taken concubines, so there is no dispute between concubine and concubine.

But the Duke's Mansion was different. Even under Mrs. Wei's nose, the Duke still had three concubines staying in the back house, but they didn't come out to play around much.

With their ability as generals, there will be many people in this house in the future.

Both Du Jingyi and the maids are ready for this.

But they always hope that it will be a few years later, at least so that their young wife's position can be secured and their legitimate son can be born and grow up.

"Don't worry. If there is a threat to my child one day, we will divorce at the worst possible time. When the time comes, we will take the child back to the Du family, take the mother's surname, enter the family tree, and enjoy the great wealth. Isn't it the same carefree life?" Du Jingyi was quite open-minded, probably because the escape route was spacious and bright.

Unfortunately, after saying these words, before Cherry could answer, she was interrupted by a rich male voice outside the door.

 “Do you want to be separated?”

Shang Ji walked in with a long stride, with some suppressed sullenness on his face.

The eyes were no longer as captivating as last night, but instead showed a bit of unhappiness.

After leaving and returning, Du Jingyi never dreamed that a few words he had chatted with the maid would fall into his ears.

It’s really embarrassing.

I don’t know how many words he heard, but now it was better to “seek peace” first, so he stood up and saluted Shang Ji.

 His movements were more correct than before, and then he asked with a sweet smile.

"Why did the general come back? Is there something wrong?"

“Tell me first, do you want to reconcile? You also want our child to take his mother’s surname and enter the Du family tree, do you really mean it?”

Du Jingyi smiled awkwardly, thinking it was better to show weakness at this time, so he replied.

“The general heard it wrong, I didn’t say that.”

 Suddenly the fox characteristics in her body were released again. Shang Ji felt a burst of joy in his heart when he saw it, but his face was still as serious as before.

Then he waved to Yingying and Lizhu, motioning them to go down.

Although the two of them were worried about their young lady, the general's momentum did not allow them to refute, so they had to retreat quickly.

 When he left, he deliberately closed the door to the house.

 I thought silently in my heart, Madam, please wish for more blessings for yourself.

 There are only two people in the house.

 But the atmosphere was completely different from last night.

“We are just here, you don’t have to lie to me. Do you mean what you think? I want to hear the truth.”

 Shang Ji's tone was serious and formal.

Du Jingyi could tell that he didn't want to be fooled.

But with their trust base as a couple, can they really tell the truth?

 She didn't quite believe it.

But when the words came to her lips and she looked into Shang Ji's eyes, she couldn't make random nonsense like she used to in the business world, so she fell silent.

 Shang Ji did not force her, but waited patiently.

I happened to see the booklet and stopped at the Wei family page.

 Wei Jialian’s name pops up on the page.

If you look carefully, there are a few shallow nail marks, it seems that someone has hammered on the name.

 In an instant, I understood the general idea.

 “Are you worried that Mrs. Wei wants to put people in my house?”

His tone was very plain, and there was nothing special about it, but Du Jingyi knew that at this point, some things should be explained clearly in advance.

So he stopped hiding it, sorted out what he was thinking, and spoke.

"I have only been able to get along with the general for more than a month. It would be a bit false to say that we are unforgettable at this moment. However, there are some things that I cannot stop. For example, there will be new people in the house in the future, or even other children. What step will they take by then? , we can’t tell clearly.”

"Although the Du family is not a famous family, the general can also see that my father and mother have a good relationship and cannot tolerate the interference of a third person. However, it is indeed not practical to ask the general about this matter. I can do it The most important thing is to take care of this family and take good care of your children."

"If one day, the general's mind is biased, then I will not shamelessly stay in the general's mansion and be the wife who sheds tears. The world is so vast, there is always a place to go, isn't it?"
