MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 557 Complain quietly
Du Jingyi was stunned with a bit of surprise, so she quickly asked Yingtao to give her another soft pillow, and then said.
“It’s a great thing, a great thing. When this child is born, he or she will be the treasure of our family.”
Du Jingxiang gently touched his belly that was not yet swollen, and then asked.
"What about you? You are still young, and Tagore and the others have grown up. Don't you think about having another child with the general?"
Du Jingyi spread his hands and said helplessly.
"I originally wanted to, but the general said that it was too scary when I gave birth to the three brothers, so I didn't give birth to them. These four children are enough."
"It's a good thing that he can think about you. When the children are older, married, and have children, your general's mansion will be lively, so just wait and see."
“That’s right.”
The mother and daughter were talking and looking forward to success in the coming year. Unexpectedly, Aunt Dou hurriedly came to report that Wulang's wife had something important to see her.
"Fifth sister-in-law? I haven't seen her for many years, why did she suddenly come to my door?"
Mother Dou’s face was darker than coal, and she said quickly.
"The waiter at the door originally stopped her from entering, but she said she knew the secret about the old lady's death, so Butler He came to report it immediately after he found out about it. Now he has invited people to sit in the front hall. What should I do madam, see you or not?"
Now that Du Jingyi is the wife of the family, Mrs. Gu will naturally become the old lady. Therefore, the three of them are very surprised. Why did they suddenly talk about this matter?
“Is there a scam? It’s better to be careful.”
Mrs. Du reminded her alertly, but Du Jingyi waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need to worry.
"The general and I have been investigating the mother-in-law matter for several years. At first we suspected that Mrs. Wei was the poisoner, but no one who had dealt with the matter was alive, so there was no evidence of personal or physical evidence, or even a confession. No, so we couldn't convict her. Later, she followed the entire Wei family to death, which can be regarded as comforting her mother-in-law's spirit in heaven, so we did not continue to investigate. What she wants to say now, I would like to hear it. Is it the same as what we originally speculated?"
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Du and the others had nothing to say, but Aunt Dou was so angry that she clenched her fists tightly and her eyes were on fire.
What do these five rooms mean?
They have always known the secret of the old lady's death, but they still kept it hidden for so many years. Now they think they can use this secret in exchange for something, so they come to complain?
She hated him so much. In comparison, Du Jingyi was much calmer. Now someone came to her door and wanted to tell them the truth. How could she not go and see him?
So he got off the warm couch and said.
“Let’s go and have a look.”
"yes."
This is the merchant's secret. It's not easy for Mrs. Du and Du Jingxiang to follow them, so they can only stay in Xitang Courtyard and wait for the news.
The front hall of the General's Mansion.
Goro's wife was sitting on the chair, peeking around with some discomfort.
She had not come in to take a look at the General's Mansion since Gu Shaoyu and his wife moved in. It was indeed more luxurious and luxurious than the former Duke's Mansion. Along the way, she was mesmerized by the mountains and rivers here. Eye.
So if this person compares himself to others, he will still make people angry.
At the beginning, Du Jingyi was the one with the worst background among the sisters-in-law, but who could have imagined that she would live such a good life! Especially when she thought about the yard where they now lived, the jealousy in her heart was even more obvious.
Not long after sitting down, Du Jingyi came in a hurry, followed by Aunt Dou and Butler He who seemed to be cannibalistic. These two were former confidants of Mrs. Gu, so it was not surprising that they came to listen.
The last time they met, Wulang and his wife couldn't even remember when it was.
Hence, she was still the fifth sister-in-law, but when she saw Du Jingyi in person, she couldn't help but be overwhelmed by her current temperament as a general's wife.
I saw that Du Jingyi was wearing a goose-yellow mandarin embroidered with branches and trimmed with rabbit fur today, which made her skin moist and rosy. There were a few gemstone hairpins randomly attached to her bun, which looked very valuable at a glance.
If you just take out one and **** it, I'm afraid it will be enough for a person with five houses to live for a year and a half.
In contrast, Wulang's wife was still wearing the old clothes she had worn in the Duke's Mansion, so she stood tall and looked tall. She wanted to get up but she couldn't lose her dignity, so she sat stiffly where she was.
Mother Dou behind Du Jingyi saw it and couldn't tolerate her being so unruly, so she scolded her and said.
“You see the general’s wife, why don’t you bow to her?”
His tone was not polite at all. Du Jingyi looked at Wulang's wife calmly. His face was naturally not as polite as he was to Sanlang's wife, but he was not cold-hearted either, so he said it calmly.
“I haven’t seen you for many years, how are you doing, fifth sister-in-law?”
good?
How could she be fine?
As the hard days passed, she missed the years when she was still in the Duke's Mansion more and more, so she couldn't help but said it in a weird way.
"I'm not as good as my sixth younger brother and sister. I'm raising you with a noble family. Look, you are no different from when you first entered the Duke's mansion. You are still so young and beautiful. But look at me, suffering in the fifth room. She turned into a crazy woman."
Her tone was full of complaints, which made Aunt Dou very unhappy.
There is no such person who comes to the door and talks non-stop about weird things. If it weren't for the secret she wanted to tell, Grandma Dou would have wanted to expel the person.
When Du Jingyi heard these words, he smiled instead of getting angry.
Wulang's wife is very easy to get rid of, so she can get this secret by paying some money. For Du Jingyi, it is the easiest thing.
She was afraid of the kind of person who would greet people with a smile that could not tell what she wanted, and the kind that meant money could not be spent, so her smile was two or three points more sincere than before, and she said calmly after sitting down.
“It’s such a cold day, Fifth Sister-in-law didn’t go all the way to get angry with me, right? Since you explained the reason, let’s not talk in circles. Let’s be frank, what do you want?”
Du Jingyi is a serious businessman, so when faced with the desires of Wu Lang's wife, she can understand what she wants at a glance, so she asks this question.
The face of Wulang's wife was a little ugly when her purpose was revealed, but when she thought about the predicament of her children and herself in the fifth room, she could no longer care about it, so she calmed down and said.
"Sixth brother and sister are quick to talk, so I won't hide it anymore. I want one hundred thousand taels. If you give me the banknote, I will tell you the secret. The real reason why the eldest aunt died! You and your wife will definitely want to know. !”
