MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 115 dongyuanju

Chapter 115 Dongyuan Gathering

Princess Fu smiled and replied.

 “Make the princess laugh.”

 Then, Princess Fu glanced at Du Jingyi, whose intentions were unclear.

　　A meal is something that everyone has their own thoughts on.

At the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Shang Yukuan sent his colleagues off with a grimace on his face, his eyes were slightly red, and it was obvious that he was not in a good mood.

 On the other hand, Shang Ji standing next to him didn't have much expression, he was still as calm as in the morning.

Shang Yukuan couldn't help but ask after everyone was sent away.

“Rokuro, if word of what happened today spreads out, will it have a bad impact?”

Shang Ji lowered his head and glanced at his father, then asked.

“What does father mean by a bad influence? On Prince Fu’s Mansion? Or on Duke Guo’s Mansion?”

“We have both. After all, we are our own children. This grandson broke his leg. I can’t do anything about it because I have both sides. What should I do next?”

Shang Ji glanced at his father indifferently, and then replied.

"I'm going to ask Mrs. Wei and Princess Fu now. My son still has something to do in his room, so I won't talk to his father anymore."

 After saying that, he took Shang Zhiping and left the gate.

When leaving, he did not forget to take Xing Zhao, who was watching the excitement a few steps away, back to Dongyuan.

At the flower hall, after Mrs. Wei respectfully saw off Princess Yuehua and the ladies, she hurriedly took Princess Fu to Chengmingyuan.

Looking at their busy footsteps, Mrs. Xing snorted coldly.

"Is it possible that the mountain at home has collapsed? Are you so anxious?"

Du Jingyi didn’t know the whole picture, so he didn’t comment and said to Mrs. Xing.

“It’s a rare visit for my aunt, please come with us back to Dongyuan first and have a nice cup of tea before leaving.”

 “Okay, let’s go.”

 At this point, several people returned to Dongyuan safely.

When we were waiting at the door, we happened to catch up with Shang Ji bringing Shang Zhiping and Xing Zhao back.

 The whole family finally met each other.

In this encounter, Du Jingyi first saw his husband, and then the "Cousin Zhao" in Xue Niang's mouth.

Sure enough, he was born suave and elegant, with the nobility and unruliness of a child from an aristocratic family.

Xing Zhao also saw Du Jingyi when he opened his eyes.

Then he glanced sideways at Shang Ji next to him, and then said in surprise.

 “It’s strange that cousin Dao Shaoyu doesn’t think about the military camp anymore. It turns out that my cousin is so beautiful and charming.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Xing slapped her on the back of the head and said viciously.

“You brat, you dare to tease even your cousin and sister-in-law, I’m afraid it’ll make your skin itch.”

 Then you have to twist his ears.

Then Xing Zhao let out an ouch and hurriedly hid behind Shang Ji, begging for mercy.

“Mother, my son is already in his twenties, why does he still teach his children so easily? Don’t I want to lose face? Look, are you kidding my cousins?”

Mrs. Xing turned around and saw Mrs. Liu, Du Jingyi and Xue Niang all snickering, so she also smiled and shook her head.

"This brat has been favored since he was a child, so he doesn't learn the rules very well. Don't mind, Liulang's wife."

Xing Zhao was teasing Shang Ji and Du Jingyi, so Mrs. Xing said this to Du Jingyi.

Du Jingyi took a step forward and said generously.

“Auntie, please don’t be polite, we are all part of the same family. Cousin Zhao’s lively temperament would be interesting.”

She spoke as clearly as jade beads falling on a plate. Xing Zhao smiled after hearing this.

“My cousin is still good at recognizing people.”

Shang Ji looked at him sideways with a cold face, and Xing Zhao didn't dare to speak any more, no matter how many "bastard words" he had.

Sister-in-law Liu responded when she saw this. "Let's go, let's go. It's rare for aunt and cousin Zhao to come over, so don't stand here and talk."

With this opening, everyone entered the gate of Dongyuan.

Since Xing Zhao was here, he was more or less a foreigner, so the sister-in-law asked people to entertain him in the flower hall.

Along the way, Mrs. Xing looked around.

She has not been back to Sui'an City for three or four years, so she feels both familiar and unfamiliar with Dongyuan.

He seemed to have more vitality than before, so he smiled and said something.

"It seems that the new gardener hired is good. Even the yard is tidied up differently than before."

After hearing what she said, Du Jingyi glanced at Mrs. Xing with a somewhat discerning eye, and then replied with a smile.

"They are the masters invited from Suzhou, and the general's mansion will also arrange for them to take care of it in the future."

“No wonder, the gardens are beautiful, and the ones in Suzhou are the most outstanding. The craftsmanship of the masters there is certainly not bad.”

As he talked, he arrived at the flower hall.

 After sitting down, Du Jingyi asked Cai’s mother to bring tea and cakes.

 They all had just eaten, so naturally they were not hungry.

It's just something that is indispensable for a family to sit together and chat.

Seeing that everyone was sitting firmly, Xue Niang finally couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Six, what happened earlier? We saw Aunt Jiao coming in a hurry while we were eating. After saying a few words, Mrs. Wei's face fell into despair, and then the Fourth Sister-in-law followed Aunt Jiao and left. , she didn’t show up until Princess Yuehua left, it’s not like they can do anything in the same room.”

How could a spirit like Fourth Sister-in-law be willing to leave with someone like Princess Yuehua holding her?

Even if I leave, I think I will finish the matter as quickly as possible and come back to continue to fawn over.

How could it be possible to go away and never come back?

 Hearing this, Shang Ji didn't even raise his eyebrows.

On the contrary, Xing Zhao next to him explained excitedly.

"Wei Jiaheng gave Shang Zhihe a slingshot. Prince Fu was accidentally hit in the leg when he entered the palace. He thought it was Shang Zhihe who did it, so he stepped forward and broke Shang Zhihe's leg."

"What?"

Xue Niang looked at Xing Zhao in disbelief, obviously unable to adapt to the news.

Du Jingyi was a little confused and asked immediately.

 “Is it really over?”

"Um."

Shang Ji nodded in response, and then Du Jingyi believed it.

 Then she glanced at Xing Zhao with doubt in her eyes.

Shang Ji raised the corners of his mouth. Sure enough, his wife's mind was spinning faster.

He didn't even open his mouth, but he guessed about 70% or 80% of the time.

Mrs. Xing was also well aware of her son's character, so she also glanced at him sideways, with suspicion in her eyes, but she didn't say much.

 Everyone present understands it, and those who don’t understand will naturally not notice it.

 Then Xue Niang sighed.

“It’s also because of his bad luck that he offended the great Buddha, Prince Fu.”

 Call him Buddha, that is to give him face, otherwise, calling him Yaksha is just as good.

 Everyone didn’t have much affection for Shang Zhihe, so when they heard that his leg was broken, their first reaction was pain, and then it was nothing.

 The broken leg is Xiyuan’s trouble after all.

 After they said a few words, they didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, Shang Ji looked at Mrs. Xing, seemingly hopeful, but with a hint of worry in his tone.

“Aunt, grandmother, and aunts, how are you?”
