MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 12 Wrong Eyes

The four of them can be said to have used all their strength in the fields to fight for the three acres of land at home.

 Those who don’t know seem to think they have been taken advantage of.

 The old people were sleeping on the ground crying, and their children, grandchildren, and daughters-in-law were not idle either.

 It is said by someone who curses in his mouth.

 “The government looks down on poor relatives.”

 “Everyone thinks that we are just beggars and just send them away as they please.”

 “Haolai also has the same ancestor, but now he can fall out of favor faster than turning over a book.”

The word tone, that, did the horns of the south gate, did not have the level of their level.

 The scene was chaotic for a time as people cried and howled.

Shang Yukuan couldn't bear it, so he looked at his uncles and aunts anxiously and immediately said with relief.

"Rokuro just said a quick word, uncles and aunts, don't be sad."

It’s a pity that these people who have been relying on their old age for many years can stop with such a light sentence.

Du Jingyi has been here for three years, and this is the first time he has seen such a big show.

I thought that those careless relatives in my own family were annoying enough, but I didn’t expect that in the Duke’s Mansion in the Gaomen Courtyard, it was even worse.

 Funny and interesting.

 There was a look of watching a play in his eyes, but it hadn't been revealed yet.

He was slapped in the head and scolded by the woman on the side.

"Sixth brother and sister are really good at being wives. My husband contradicted his elders and made everyone angry. I didn't see you to persuade me. Why are you still standing watching the show? I don't want to give you a helping hand."

The person who spoke was a square-faced and unattractive woman, the eldest daughter-in-law of the third wife.

As far as ranking is concerned, it is Guan, Shang Erlang's daughter-in-law.

She has been married for several years and has given birth to three fat grandchildren.

Hence, people in Sanfangyimai are also people who can speak well.

Her natal family are also merchants, but they are not as wealthy as the Du family.

 She married into the family in the early years because of the reputation of the Duke's Palace, but in recent years, the dowry she brought either filled the hole in the family or paid off her husband's gambling debts.

 Hence, there is not much left.

 Then he set his sights on the thousand taels of gold given by the emperor.

Unexpectedly, her grandparents' attempts to come forward were defeated by Shang Ji. Naturally, she wanted to find an opportunity to regain her face and dignity.

 This is one of them.

There are two more.

If it comes to this house, the one she hates the most is Du Jingyi.

They are obviously the daughters of merchants, so why can I only marry an ordinary Baiding Shang Erlang?

She still has to clean up his mess every day, but Du Jingyi can marry the young master of the Duke's mansion.

Now she has become a hussar general with great achievements in battle, and her status has become more and more noble.

 Therefore, from the day Du Jingyi came in, she was ridiculed by everyone in front of her and behind her.

When she jumped out at this time, she naturally wanted to shame Du Jingyi, but unfortunately, she picked the wrong person.

Du Jingyi smiled, but his eyes were cold.

 Opened his mouth and fired back.

"Second sister-in-law is joking, I am not blessed. When I married into the Duke's palace, my serious grandparents and mother-in-law passed away. I thought that the only elders I had to serve were my father-in-law, but I never thought that there would be such a big family. I’m waiting, but Second Sister-in-law, you, my direct granddaughter-in-law, don’t help me, but you put all the blame on me, a person who is just a few houses away, so you are obviously a well-educated person.”

Du Jingyi rarely paid attention to these people in the past because he felt it was unnecessary.

 But today in front of Shang Ji, the people present were trying to trample her under their feet one after another. The clay figurine still has a bad temper, let alone Du Jingyi, who is decisive in business.

　　　That Guan family blushed after one sentence, but she didn't know how to answer.

As soon as she said these words, everyone's expressions were startled.

Mrs. Wei squinted her eyes and suddenly felt that she had underestimated this Liulang's wife in the past.

 Apparently, he is a eloquent person.

Sister-in-law Liu stared at Du Jingyi's back, frowning slightly, with a bit of inquiry in her eyes.

They have lived together in Dongyuan for three years, and she has interacted with Du Jingyi several times.

But every time I looked for her, she was either taking a lunch break or making food, looking happy and smiling.

I thought she had a soft temper, but I didn't expect that she actually had a thorn in her side. I actually misjudged her.

When Du Jingyi's real husband, Shang Ji, saw this, his eyes felt a little more happy.

It's just that this kind of appreciation passed by in a flash, and when he looked back, he was full of anger and said to Luo Yuan.

"Since my two uncles are so concerned about them and can't leave without opening their mouths, I will send my kindness back to Luo Yuan and ask someone to come in and send my two uncles to guard the mausoleum and return home in ten days!"

"yes!"

He had long wanted to deal with the large group of relatives in the yard who were at odds with him.

 It's just that today is a good day to receive the imperial edict, and it is not easy to see blood.

 So I simply sent him to guard the mausoleum, so as not to make the noise in my ears every day.

The people who were still crying suddenly became silent. They all looked at each other, and finally their eyes for help fell on Shang Yukuan's head.

 But this son is not something he can control at will, so he is also grimacing.

Shang Ji on the other side did not want to have any more entanglements with them on this matter.

He turned around and walked in front of his sister-in-law Liu and others. His attitude was unprecedentedly respectful. He cupped his fists and bowed before saying.

“Sister-in-law, please take Ping’er and Xue Niang back to Xitang Courtyard first. My wife and I will go to the ancestral hall to lay incense sticks for my mother and eldest brother, and then we will go back.”

 What he said was simple, but the meaning was very clear.

 In this whole courtyard, the only ones who can get his attention are these three people.

As for other relatives, he didn't care whether they wanted to hang themselves, throw themselves into a well, or hit a pillar.

Sister-in-law Liu took a deep look at Shang Ji and nodded helplessly.

Then he bowed and saluted in the direction of Duke Shang, then left with his son and sister-in-law without looking back.

Seeing this, Shang Ji walked to Du Jingyi again.

 He looked at the "relatives" and "elders" in the area, and everyone immediately took a breath.

 I thought I might have something else to say to them.

Unexpectedly, Shang Ji looked up at his father Shang Guogong and said indifferently.

“Father, my wife and I have to go to the ancestral hall to serve tea to my mother, so we won’t stay any longer.”

Du Jingyi next to him didn't want to be tainted by these people and things, so he saluted and said.

 “The daughter-in-law resigned.”

 After saying this, they also left the main courtyard with steady steps.

Seeing the couple waving their sleeves and walking away, the elders were completely ashamed.

 The cry was still on his lips, but it was of no use.

When Mrs. Wei saw this, she could only sigh and said.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. The property is loose and the rules are not well established. Uncles and aunts, please get up quickly. Dirty clothes are a trivial matter, but hurting the body is troublesome."
