MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 31 Detailed Arrangements

　　I can see that my sister and brother-in-law are nervous, and Du Jingyi can't let them continue to be under this pressure.

So he stood up and said to the Du couple.

“Dad, mother, my daughter will go back with the general and come back to see you two another day.”

Mr. Du and Mrs. Du nodded and said nothing more.

The Duke of Guo’s family has a high status, so I don’t know when the next time we will meet him.

 It’s just that it’s not convenient for them to say these words.

He didn't have to let his second aunt think that the Du family wanted to come back to climb his relatives by him, that is, he was not happy for his daughter.

 Then, Du Jingyi turned around and looked at Sister A again, and said with a smile.

“My sister is fond of giving birth and raising babies. When I get back, I will ask Lu Jue to send me some suitable clothes to express my feelings about being my aunt.”

“Well, be careful on the way back.”

"good."

Du Jingxiang didn't know what to say.

Especially with a powerful brother-in-law here, she was as nervous as drumming.

 After the couple said goodbye, they walked out of the gate of Mingse Courtyard together.

As we walked away under the moonlight, people couldn't help but sigh, it was really a match made in heaven between a man, a talented man and a beautiful woman.

After they walked farther away, Du Jingxiang took a long breath and couldn't help but patted his chest and said.

 “My brother-in-law is too...tall.”

  She got married early, and because she was still ill when her sister got married, she did not come, so she never met Shang Ji.

 It was also because she was too timid, so when she saw her for the first time, she felt like a moving Mount Tai, giving people a great sense of oppression.

 “This is what a military commander should do, otherwise how can the country of our great dynasty be so impregnable?”

He Shilin explained, his eyes showing admiration for the generals.

 When a man is in the world, there are always times when he is passionate.

　　But he is the only son in the family, so even if he dares to be a soldier, he is afraid that he will be tied back by his parents.

 Hence, he gave up the path of joining the army early.

 At the moment, I am naturally a little excited to see such a powerful general.

After hearing what he said, the Du family also sighed.

Indeed, the peace they have today is only possible because of the soldiers’ shot and arrow.

 So, they had some respect for Shang Ji, or for the soldiers.

If there is a need in the future, they will not be stingy in helping.

 But at this time, it is too early to say this.

So I listened to Mrs. Du.

"Okay, it's getting late. You and your wife should go back and have a rest first. Shilin wants to study. I've asked people to clean up the study room in Meandering Courtyard. It's separated from the main house by a small road, so it's quite clean."

"As for Xiangxiang's body, you don't have to worry. I'm taking care of her and will keep her safe."

 Mrs. Du was serious about what she said, and she also made good arrangements for the couple.

He Shilin felt very grateful, nodded and said.

 “Thank you, mother-in-law, for your thoughtfulness. My son-in-law is very grateful.”

“If the family doesn’t talk about these things, the days will be long.”

"Um."

It was completely unexpected that Du Jingxiang came back to prepare for childbirth.

 The two elders of the He family in Pingzhou were also very happy when they found out.

I originally thought about taking my daughter-in-law back to take care of her, but she is now a month old and it is difficult to keep traveling back and forth.

 So we also discussed it with Pingzhou, and when the baby is about to be born, the two elders will come over.

 Fortunately, the Du family and the He family have a good relationship, so even if they live under the same roof, there will be no problem.

 In the main room of Meandering Courtyard, He Shilin helped his wife Du Jingxiang sit down.

 There was some distress in his eyes.

"Mother Xiang, I see your legs and feet are a little swollen. I'll let Dongqin bring some hot water and I'll give you some bubbles and press them again to save you from severe pain at night." Along the way, although He Shilin took care of you, has been careful enough.

 But due to his physical condition, Du Jingxiang still had many reactions during pregnancy.

  For example, the legs and feet are prone to throbbing pain, for example, they are easily awakened at night and cannot sleep well.

He Shilin, a husband, sees all this.

It is true that he cannot feel sorry for his wife, but he should pay more attention to these things.

Du Jingxiang never gets tired of looking at his husband every day.

　　　He was very kind to her before she was pregnant.

Now that she is pregnant, she is also caring.

This is very useful to Du Jingxiang, who has been loved by his parents since he was a child.

 So he said it jokingly.

“I must have done a lot of good things in my previous life, so I was reborn in a family like this and met you like this.”

　　Although it was not a word of love between you and me, He Shilin was very useful after hearing it.

　　I replied with a lot of love in my eyes.

 “I am very lucky to be favored by my wife.”

 The couple looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Du Jingxiang and his wife lived their own little life sweetly, and on the way back on the other side, Du Jingyi was the only one sitting in the large carriage.

 Different from when they came, Shang Ji rode in front to open the way.

 His presence and his absence are completely two different feelings.

Sitting in the somewhat empty carriage, Du Jingyi couldn't help but think about what his mother had said before.

She didn't expect to fall into the grand courtyard of the Duke's mansion.

 But now that she is here and her husband seems to be pretty good at the moment, she won't give it a second thought.

 The matter of consummating the marriage must be done in the final analysis.

 Otherwise, she couldn't wait for others to get there first and then worry about it herself.

"The sooner you get pregnant, the sooner you can secure your position."

She remembered her mother's words clearly.

So, on the way back, the determination that should be made and the shyness that should be lost were all sorted out.

It wasn’t until the carriage slowly stopped that Du Jingyi opened his eyes.

 The curtain was opened, and it was still her husband Shang Ji who stood outside.

His broad palm stretched out as usual and said to Du Jingyi.

“Madam, we’re home. Let me help you get out of the car.”

 One sentence made Du Jingyi's adjusted mentality feel a little abandoned.

　　I was stunned for a moment and then said, "Okay."

He reached out and put his hand on his hand, and got out of the carriage.

 The night is approaching, and there is tranquility.

It was indeed a little late for her to get back to this door today.

If those people in Beiyuan knew about it, there would be a lot of gossip.

 Unlike the Du family, the door of the Duke's Mansion was still open, so the two of them entered without any obstruction.

However, when he walked to the second door, Luo Yuan, who was sensitive, noticed some figures floating in the dark.

Immediately went over, picked up the person, and threw him out from behind the door.

 The sound of "Ouch" made the person who fell down feel dizzy.

He is a capable steward around the Fifth Old Master of Yingjuan Courtyard, and he is somewhat related to the Fifth Old Mrs.'s natal family.

 Hence, he is considered a talkative person in the back house, and is called "Qi Er".

　　　What is born is what is called a sly eyebrow.

Sisters, I will send you the long-awaited consummation story tomorrow! Hahaha, I worked very hard this time. Remember to read it early~ Otherwise, I might have to revise the draft again in a few days. You know... Hahahahaha...
