MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 39 Five-bedroom people

 For example, the people living in Beiyuan are all close to each other.

 As you get older, you naturally don’t sleep much.

In Yingjuan Courtyard, the fifth old man and his family, except for a few young children, were basically all present.

The person sitting on the seat was naturally the angry and angry Fifth Old Madam.

Sitting below are their two sons.

They are two brothers, one is like his father, as fat as a pig's head, the other is like his mother, unfeeling and indifferent.

I used to be called by my nickname in the field, but after my parents went to live with my eldest uncle Shang Laogong, my name was naturally changed.

They are cousins ​​to the current Duke of Guo. They are of the same generation as "Yu". One of them is called "Ding" and the other is called "An".

 The implication is that I hope both of them can live a peaceful life.

It's a pity that although he has a reputation, he is not honest.

The two brothers usually hang out in Qinlou and Chuguan, or hang out in gambling halls and restaurants.

Relying on the name of the Duke's office, many people are doing things outside.

Although it is not to the point of causing a life-threatening lawsuit, it is not much better.

My mother found me early in the morning. Naturally, I was very sleepy.

Especially Shang Yuding, who didn't come back from his mischief outside until dawn. Now he was called in even before the bed was touched.

 So the yawns came one after another, which made the fifth old lady very angry.

 The tea cup on the table was smashed to pieces with a "snap", and then he said viciously.

"Useless thing! Look at what your cousin is like now. He is obviously of the same blood, but he can sit firmly in the position of Duke of the country. Which of his sons and daughters is not up to expectations? Look at you again, the life of your son and his son If you don't come out, you're still hanging around outside all day long. Who is this dead look for?"

 The fifth old lady was very angry.

 It was both because he hated iron and could not become steel, and also because Shang Ji had nowhere to vent his anger by sending the fifth old man to guard the mausoleum for no reason.

 So when she got this opportunity, she would naturally have an attack.

Shang Yuding felt guilty and did not dare to disobey his mother, so he had to endure it silently.

 He reached out and pinched himself, hoping to wake up.

 Seeing his unsatisfactory appearance, the fifth wife became more and more angry and dissatisfied.

When Manager Qi was thrown back to Yingjuan Courtyard, he was hanging with only one breath.

 So I survived until this morning, but I still didn’t get over it, so I died like this.

Now the body is still standing stiffly in his own room, but the people who live in the same room with him are so frightened that no one dares to go in.

He squatted on the porch and waited for his master to speak.

The second steward, Qi Er, who was groaning next to her, had not stopped crying and was immediately scolded by her.

"Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry, but those who don't know think you are dead!"

 The second steward Qi was scolded and immediately stopped talking.

Even though I have countless grievances, I dare not say anything more.

Using a handkerchief to wipe tears, he wrapped it around his left index finger and stuffed it into his mouth, gritting his teeth and not daring to cry any more.

Since the fifth old man is not here, it is natural that the fifth old lady will be the owner of the fifth house.

But she never dealt with things very well, so when she found out about this, she was very anxious and angry, but she didn't know how to deal with it. Then the two sons were called to hear what they had to say.

"That damned guy from Dongyuan actually sent me to guard the mausoleum, and he won't be able to return home until ten days later! Forget it, he beat the slave in our room to death the night before yesterday. Isn't he clearly trying to make things difficult for us? "

“You two brothers, let’s talk about it, what should we do?”

 Shang Yuding still acted as if the matter had nothing to do with him, but his younger brother Shang Yuan next to him was active.

 Said in agreement as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Mother, Rokuro doesn't pay much attention to the people in our fifth room. Even if Qi Er has any irregularities, he should be sent back to us to deal with it. He is good, and he will give him a meal when he comes up. The military sticks were taken away. I heard that Qi Er was beaten until there was no good spot on his body. Isn’t this a slap in the face of our fifth house?"

 Hearing this, Mrs. Wu was also very angry.

One Shang Yu was definitely not enough, so another Shang Wulang came. Their father and son could sing the double act.

Taking advantage of his status as the only grandson of five children, he complained.

"My grandma didn't know something. Now even the people from the next door are stepping on our faces. A few days ago, my grandson was offered the position of Treasurer of the Ministry of Etiquette. He originally thought of going to his uncle to smooth things over, but who knew that the three people next door were asked to do it? My cousin got the first step, but now it’s good that he climbed up, just like a fish in water!”

 After hearing this, not to mention Mrs. Wu, even Shang Yu'an was not happy.

“When did it happen? Why haven’t I heard you talk about it?”

"It was only half a month ago. The second day after I knew the news, my third cousin took the position. Humph, I don't believe he did it on his own. He must have used the back door!"

Shang Wulang was filled with righteous indignation and obviously wanted to make the matter a big deal so that his grandmother could vent her anger on him.

As expected, the fifth old lady and the fifth old man have been married for a long time, and their temperaments have become similar.

He wanted to get angry at every turn, and immediately turned his face and said.

“Three-bedroom or other shabby households, they relied on our help to survive when they were in Changzhou, but now they are fighting with us about everything. I really don’t know what to say.”

 The fifth old lady curses but doesn't know it.

On the contrary, Shang Yu'an and Shang Wulang, father and son, have dark and treacherous thoughts.

 Looking at Steward Qi Er who was still trying his best to suppress his emotions, he immediately realized a poisonous plan.

"The second manager Qi suffered a lot, and our fifth room was slapped in the face. If this matter doesn't get out of hand, let alone Dongyuan, I'm afraid the people in the third room will ride on us. .”

Although they, father and son, are not very accomplished people, they have lived under the family for so many years and they still know exactly who is in the yard.

It would be best if this matter could be used to make Shang Yu, the Duke of the country, feel guilty.

In this way, Shang Wulang would have a chance to get a new job.

 It is not a big deal to beat a servant to death.

 After all, in a deep house, who doesn’t have the blood of servants on their hands?

 But since someone died, we have to find some benefits to make up for it.

No one in the audience really felt sorry for Qi Er's death, and they were all thinking about how to make up for the lost "face."

And most of the wives of the fifth house are very submissive.

 Facing my mother-in-law and husband, I dare not say anything.

Shang Yu'an and Shang Wulang and his son looked at each other and hurriedly spoke up to add to the anger.

"Grandma, I heard that Liulang went out to the camp on the outskirts of the city yesterday, and he has not returned today. Then there is only that little girl Du Shi in Dongyuan. Let's take Qi Er's body there. It's scary. Don’t worry about scaring her to death!”

“When the time comes, I’ll ask my uncle and his wife to come over and deal with what needs to be done and judge what needs to be done. Maybe my errand will be settled.”
