Chapter 28 Urging the consummation of the marriage

 The last time mother and daughter were so close was a year ago.

"I used to be afraid that you wouldn't be able to get married, and I was afraid that you would be wronged when you get married. Today, after taking a closer look at your husband, my father and I can feel relieved a lot. Apart from other things, just talking about his love for you. It’s good that we don’t have any sectarian views.”

Mrs. Du has never had high demands on her son-in-law.

As long as you have a noble character, a peaceful family, some self-motivation and the ability to care for your wife, it is enough.

They will not take their daughters to climb high and enter a noble house, like other families do.

 Hence, this marriage to the Duke of Guo’s Mansion was something I had to do because my nose was too big and I had to hold my mouth shut.

But now, looking at the harmonious appearance of the couple, Mrs. Du naturally had a few more thoughts in her mind.

So, after waving his hands to let everyone go out, he asked in a low voice.

“It’s been a few days since my uncle came back. Have you not consummated your marriage yet?”

Hearing the word consummation, Du Jingyi's face turned a little red, and then he said "hmm" and said nothing more.

Mrs. Du sighed, and then spoke seriously.

"Mom is lucky. I met your father in this life. Even if you didn't give him a son to inherit the incense, he never thought about divorcing his wife and taking concubines and remarrying. But we are merchants and we have many problems in these matters. It’s a turning point, but your husband is different. He is both the young prince of the Duke’s Palace and the head of the General’s Palace.”

"Look, I don't know how many people are envious of him when he comes back this time. Although you are his wife, you are his step-wife and your family background. If you don't have a son and a half to protect you, mother I’m afraid you’ll have a hard time in the future.”

Mrs. Du’s sincere words, it’s not like Du Jingyi didn’t listen.

 As for the consummation of the marriage, she actually didn't say she was resisting it, she just felt a little embarrassed.

 If it’s just the time of getting married, it will naturally be round.

 But now, after three years of cold weather, I suddenly feel uncomfortable having a man next to me to eat and sleep with.

 It’s just that what my mother said is not unreasonable.

Du Jingyi never expected that her husband would not take concubines.

 Hence, there will be many wives and concubines in the back house, and she has already been mentally prepared for the fight between concubines and concubines.

Since she knew what kind of situation she would face in the future, naturally, she would not wait helplessly for the jackals, tigers and leopards to come and tear her apart.

So I calmed down and thought quietly.

 When he looked up at his mother again, he already had a plan.

 “Don’t worry, mother, my daughter knows what to do.”

"That's good. You talk about a thousand things and ten thousand things. There are a lot of disputes in the Duke's palace, and you can't let people take advantage of the loopholes and give birth to a concubine's eldest son, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Mrs. Du's face was very serious when she spoke.

Du Jingyi is now around 18 or 19 years old, so he naturally knows the meaning behind this.

 He nodded, also rare in his seriousness.

 After explaining the matter, the mother and daughter relaxed their seriousness and brought the topic to other places.

 For example, a member of the family who has left in despair.

“Mom, today is my daughter’s return home, and they are going to make a fuss. I’m afraid the fuss will only increase in the future. Have you come up with any good ideas to get rid of the problem?”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Du lost her calmness and snorted coldly.

"Don't worry. In the past, their troubles were just some unseemly tricks. Now your father and I have already set the trap and are waiting for them to exploit us. We have a young man's cousin-in-law backing us up. Are you still afraid of Du Jingxian and the others? Will the family not cause any wrongdoing?"

 Her words were full of calculations, but she was not ashamed of them.

 In Shangyanshang, she is not a kind-hearted living Bodhisattva.

 It is okay to ask her to ferry people.

 But only if you are capable and the person you want to help is worthy of helping.

For shameless and unsatisfactory people like this family, it would be nice if she didn't try to destroy their boat to cross the river.

  To hope to survive by stepping on one's own bones is simply unreasonable.

Seeing that his mother had a plan, Du Jingyi said nothing more.

  After all, she has seen her parents' tricks in the shopping mall, so she naturally knows that these relatives who are too big to lose will not have many good days left. While the two were talking, they heard Master Du's voice coming from outside.

“Madam, Tangtang, come out and see who is here?”

There was a lot of excitement in his words, making both mother and daughter look curious.

 “What happened? Sir.”

Mrs. Du opened the door and was stunned for a moment.

Du Jingyi shouted happily, "Sister!"

 She then came back to her senses.

Standing in the courtyard is Du Jingxiang, the eldest daughter of the Du family and his wife, who has been married for four years.

 She also came back with her husband.

Looks a little dusty, but looks good.

It's just that the belly is standing high, and one can tell at a glance that she is at least six months old.

Du Jingxiang is wearing a smoky green gauze dress with a loose plain skirt underneath. His whole person looks much more rounded than before.

 It can be seen that she is living a good life in the He family.

 “Xiangxiang…”

 “Mother…”

Mrs. Du burst into tears all of a sudden.

 For no other reason than the fact that she came all the way here with a bulging belly, I felt very distressed.

Du Jingxiang saw his mother crying, and she cried too, crying so hard that she couldn't control herself.

 “My daughter is unfilial and I came back late.”

The eldest uncle He Shilin on the side was also very worried when he saw this.

But he knew very well how much his wife missed her relatives at home, so he couldn't persuade her and could only stand silently.

 The scene when mother and daughter met was much more tearful than when Du Jingyi returned home just now.

Du Jingyi was also moved by the scene in front of him and felt a little sore, but when he turned around and saw his father looking comforting, he walked over again.

 Happiness is still the same as before.

“Okay, today is a good day. Both daughters are back. We must have a good reunion dinner.”

Mr. Du happily ordered to Uncle Liu next to him.

“Go, prepare the eldest and second young ladies’ favorite foods, and serve them together later.”

"yes."

After seeing Uncle Liu leave in a hurry, Du Jingxiang and Mrs. Du stopped crying.

 Each of them wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes with a handkerchief.

Mrs. Du glanced at her eldest son-in-law with some shame, and said with a bitter smile.

 “My aunt is laughing.”

 He Shilin, he lives up to his name.

His face is elegant and delicate, and his whole body has a booklike temperament but is not pedantic. At first glance, he is a person who is pursuing an official career.

After seeing Mrs. Du talking to him like this, she immediately said respectfully.

“My mother-in-law is out of town, and Xiang Niang misses you and my father-in-law very much at home. Now that I have seen you today, I naturally have to express myself more.”

 Then he turned the conversation to Du Jingxiang and spoke to comfort him.

“Xiang Niang, don’t be too sad. Be careful that the child in your belly will also be sad with you.”
