MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 497 Return to merchant

However, whether the final canonized position is satisfactory or not is another matter.

So, this nobleman of the Xing family, Ding Buding, sent these things in a hurry, which made Du Jingyi a little puzzled.

Just planning to take advantage of the momentum of the General's Mansion to give yourself a good reputation?

 But giving these harmless things doesn’t seem like an attempt to win over.

 “Have everything been sent to the warehouse?”

"Well, all the things that have been delivered to the house these days have been sorted and locked in the warehouse by the servants. No matter how the lady wants to deal with them, the servants will obey the instructions."

"You are not afraid of my wife, but I want to embezzle you?"

After hearing this, Cherry said with a confident smile.

"These things are less than half of our harvest last year. How could Madam take such a fancy to them?"

As soon as these words came out, Du Jingyi looked at her and said with some praise in his eyes.

“As expected, she is the eldest maid in the general’s mansion. She is really confident in what she says.”

“This servant’s confidence is also given by my wife, so in the final analysis, my wife has the most confidence.”

“Then who gave Madam the confidence?”

The sudden question made Du Jingyi and Yingtao a little confused, and then Gu Shaoyu, who had not returned home for several days, suddenly appeared.

　　Du Jingyi was a little surprised when he saw him, so he quickly got off the bed and said curiously.

 “How come the general has time to come back? Have everything been taken care of?”

 He was covered in dust and tiredness could be seen in his eyes. He had to be interrogated and prepare for the enthronement ceremony in the past few days, so he was really tired.

So, I came back to take a look when I had some free time to see if everything was okay at home. Who knew I heard this as soon as I entered the door, so I made a joke.

"It's almost done. There are still some things left to be handled by the people in the Ministry of Rites. I'll come back and have a rest, and then I'll attend the crown prince's enthronement ceremony the day after."

Du Jingyi nodded, and then personally helped Gu Shaoyu wash up and change into regular clothes for home.

On the table is the sweet soup that was just delivered. In the past two days, Du Jingyi would use a small cup to moisten his mouth when he got up. And since Gu Shaoyu is back today, he naturally has to prepare two bowls.

Du Jingyi picked it up and took a bite, then frowned a little.

"It's a bit too sweet. Remember to tell Dan Ruo to add less honey. I feel like my waist is getting thicker. It's summer soon, but it's not as good as winter when you can hide meat. If people say that we have gained weight during the national mourning period, then Aren't you just rushing to give people an excuse?"

Hearing this, Cherry smiled and replied.

“Don’t worry, Madam, your waist is still thin, and it won’t change even if you drink it for two more months.”

Gu Shaoyu looked it over when he heard the words, then nodded in agreement and said.

“If someone doesn’t know you, they won’t know that you are a mother of four children. Good health is the most important thing, and being too thin is not necessarily a good thing.”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi didn’t take it seriously.

Although she has no obsession with being better than the girl, once the flesh on the waist and abdomen grows, it is difficult to get rid of it, so the best way is to nip it in the bud.

It's just that talking about this to a warrior like my own general would probably lead to nowhere, so I didn't dwell on this issue any more, but changed the subject. "On the day he ascended the throne, he must have been very busy. It is not convenient for Brother Tai to hold a birthday party at this special time. I thought it would be good for everyone in the family to have a normal meal. Then I asked Dan Ruo to make him a bowl. Just longevity noodles.”

 In special times, it is understandable to do so.

 Let alone the birthday of Tai Geer, even in the future for the three brothers and after Xue Niang gives birth, everything must be kept simple.

 “It’s up to you, just pay attention to the drinks and dishes.”

 “Well, I know.”

As the couple talked, the cherry stopped waiting in the back room. Gu Shaoyu was not in a good mood, and Du Jingyi could also see it.

"What's wrong?"

"The charges against the Wei family have been drawn up. No one within the nine clans can escape. Not only the family named Wei is implicated, but also those from Xiyuan. My father and the Duke's Mansion were also among the crimes. Yes, it was only because of my merits that I was forgiven, but I strictly asked my father to write a letter of divorce and sever all ties with the Wei family."

Writing a letter of divorce is not a difficult task, but the difficulty is that the Duke Shang Yukuan can still write it at this moment?

"Yesterday, my sister-in-law and Heping'er went back to the Duke's Mansion to see my father-in-law. I was also going to go, but Brother Wen suddenly felt unwell, so he didn't go. However, when my sister-in-law came back, she specifically told me After reading it over, her father-in-law’s current condition is no longer curable, so she thought that Heping’er would move there and take care of him in his last days.”

Nowadays, the Duke's Mansion has been completely cleaned up. There is no more people than Mrs. Wei. However, because too many people were arrested, the entire Duke's Mansion is mostly empty.

There were not enough people to serve them, and their skills were not good enough, so my sister-in-law Heping felt that it was really pitiful when she saw it, so she came up with this idea.

Gu Shaoyu sighed slightly and nodded in agreement.

"Sooner or later Ping'er will go back, so just move. But those who want to start a big fight will wait until the prince ascends the throne. People will go first. As for my father, I can live as long as I can, and you and I are also prepared to mourn." Get ready."

His words were calm and calm, and Du Jingyi didn't know whether he should comfort him or say something else.

This father's death is different from when the grandmother died. They had to serve for three years.

  The new emperor of the new dynasty, Ding You's third year, is still a long time to say, but if you don't accept it, they can't get past this hurdle no matter what.

After a short silence, Du Jingyi cheered up and then said.

“I know, let’s arrange for my sister-in-law and Heping’er to move there tomorrow. The two of them don’t have much luggage, but...does the general want to send them there with me?”

Gu Shaoyu didn't answer, and Du Jingyi didn't press him.

After a while, he adjusted his mood and said.

“Let’s go, I don’t know how many more times we can see each other. I will be busy in the future, let alone worry about that.”

This is true, so Du Jingyi took it to heart.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered Yingying to prepare a lot of good medicinal materials and send them to Lanmingyuan. He asked them to take them with him tomorrow to see if they could be used.

  How to say it, it is also a family meeting.

The next day, the four of them got up early, washed themselves, had breakfast, and left the children in the care of the two elders of the Du family and the wet nurses, before setting off back to the Duke's Mansion.

Listening to the clatter of horse hooves, Du Jingyi couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen the father-in-law of the Duke of the country.
