MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 114 Break a leg

Chapter 114: Broken leg

 After saying that, he made a gesture that no one could refuse.

 “Okay, okay, let’s go, let’s go.”

 “Please, please.”

Everyone was happy to expose the matter. After all, no one wanted to see the joke of Duke Guo's Mansion or Prince Fu's Mansion, and they were not full.

 Then Shang Ji went to the banquet place without even raising his eyes.

As for Shang Zhihe’s miserable screams, they did not cause much trouble even in the huge palace of the Duke.

 Wei Taiwei looked at his leaving back, feeling angry and dissatisfied.

 But he also knew about his daughter's grudges with Dongyuan, so he didn't put much hope in Shang Ji, hoping that he would really vent his anger on He'er.

So he just snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the room where Shang Zhihe was shouting.

  King Fu glanced at the Crown Prince and felt a little resentful that iron could not become steel.

"En'er, we are a family after all, why should we make such a fuss? Besides, my father told you before coming here that you should not provoke Shang Liulang easily. He is now a popular figure in front of the imperial brother. If you provoke him, you will not give him any trouble. Are you looking for trouble yourself?"

Prince Fu Wang did not believe in evil, so he held his neck and said.

"How can a minister make his father so fearful? Is this outrageous?"

"Shut up! Is he an ordinary minister? The 400,000 tiger and benign troops are the unequivocal commander. He captured the thirteen cities of Cezhou. You still want to provoke him?"

After hearing this, Crown Prince Fu was still cursing, but he was also a little frightened in his heart.

 After all, he is the one who really kills people without blinking an eye, so it would be better to provoke him less in the future.

Seeing that his son's expression was calmer than before, Prince Fu spoke.

“Let’s go and see He’er. You broke someone’s leg out of nowhere, so you should be compensated.”

 The Prince Fu could not be stubborn towards Shang Ji.

 But Prince Fu still didn't pay attention to Shang Zhihe or other people in the Duke's mansion, so he said with a straight expression.

 “Dream, that boy is so courteous in front of my mother and concubine every day, which makes me no longer loved by my mother and concubine. Why do you want me to make amends? It’s best if you love him to death.”

 After saying that, he ignored King Fu's shouts and went out of the Duke's Mansion to mind his own business.

 Behind him were a group of palace guards, so Prince Fu was not afraid of anything happening to him.

After taking a look, I couldn't help but sigh.

 The child is grown up and it is not up to his father.

After thinking about it, I didn’t plan to go up and apologize right now. I’d rather wait until the doctor comes to talk about everything.

 So, I changed my direction and ran towards the direction of the banquet.

 The banquets are for men and women, so after the men's banquet in the front hall was opened, not long after, the banquet in the flower hall was also opened.

Mrs. Wei made arrangements and asked all the female relatives to take their seats.

 Today's banquet was prepared in advance by a tea and rice cook who specially prepared dishes for princes and nobles.

 Hence it is very delicate and delicious to look at.

 At the main table, Princess Yuehua is in the middle, accompanied by Mrs. Wei and Princess Fu on the left and right.

Si Lang’s wife, sister-in-law Liu Shi, Du Jingyi, eighth sister Xue Niang and Shang Zhiyin are also there.

No matter how they usually quarrel, in today's scene, no serious master of the Duke's Mansion can be absent.

As for the eldest lady of the Wei family, Mrs. Xing, Wei Jialian and others, no matter how close they are to them, they can only sit at the table next to them.

When Mrs. Wei saw Du Jingyi, she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

 She is quite generous, not at all shy as Dongyuan used to be.

So he glanced at his daughter, Princess Fu, and the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.

 With Princess Yuehua here, today I will lose face in Dongyuan.

What about the general’s wife?

In front of the princess, don’t you have to bend down and salute?

 Princess Fu knew her mother's intentions and had just looked at Du Jingyi, so she was somewhat interested. So he opened his mouth and asked.

“This must be the Du family that Liulang married three years ago.”

Du Jingyi didn't panic when Princess Fu called her.

 After standing up, he saluted the person above him and said.

 “I have met Princess Yuehua and Princess Fu.”

Princess Yuehua said "hmm" and said.

“Looking at the rules, he is pretty good-looking, and he is a good match for General Shang.”

 Given Shang Ji's current prestige in the court, even if she is a princess, she still has to be wary of it.

 She is not stupid, she insisted on demonstrating.

Before Mrs. Wei could get the face she wanted, she wanted to speak out and use her strength to embarrass Du Jingyi.

Unexpectedly, I saw Grandma Jiao coming in a hurry, looking very nervous.

 Then, without caring about any etiquette or impoliteness, he whispered a few words into her ear.

When Princess Yuehua saw this, her face darkened slightly.

 After all, one moment she was still talking, and the next moment a slave who didn't know the rules came.

 But she soon noticed that Mrs. Wei's face was much uglier than hers.

 Her teeth were clenched all of a sudden, and her arms were shaking a little, so Princess Yuehua asked curiously.

 “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong?”

Mrs. Wei was sweating hotly.

The grandson’s leg was stepped on and broken by his grandson. This matter is embarrassing no matter where you talk about it.

If he said it now, wouldn't it be a joke to Dongyuan, and naturally he would not be disgraced in front of Princess Yuehua.

So, I could only suppress the discomfort in my heart and said to Princess Yuehua.

"It's just a small matter. Don't disturb the princess's meal. Silang's wife, please go and have a look with Grandma Jiao."

Shiro’s wife also felt strange when she was suddenly called by name.

 But she never disobeyed her mother-in-law, so she got up and left.

 After she left, Mrs. Wei had to pretend to be calm and looked at everyone and continued to greet everyone.

At first, I had some thoughts of embarrassing Dongyuan in front of Princess Yuehua.

 But now, all she could think about was whether her grandson's leg could be saved?

 It means that everything you eat is bitter.

 It hurts to look at everything.

Du Jingyi and his sister-in-law Liu looked at each other and seemed to have figured out the problem.

But Mrs. Wei didn't say anything, and it was hard for them to make a fuss and ask questions on this occasion, so they just chatted with Princess Yuehua about harmless gossip.

“I heard about General Shang’s achievements when I was in Yizhou. He lived up to the great trust of Marshal Gu and protected the people of Cezhou very well.”

If Mrs. Xing said these words of Princess Yuehua, Du Jingyi would feel happy and might even praise her a few times.

 But the words came from the princess's mouth, so whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally, Du Jingyi did not dare to take credit for it.

So he stood up and said to Princess Yuehua. "My wife has thanked the princess for her husband's praise. However, no matter how great the general's achievements are, he only accomplished them by following your majesty's orders. Being able to guard the border for Daxing is the general's luck and your majesty's kindness."

After hearing her words, Princess Yuehua couldn't help but smile.

  It's hard to see any expression.

 After a while, she said to Princess Fu next to her.

"There is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon in the Duke's mansion. Look, you have another eloquent younger brother and sister."
