MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 46 Sister-in-law Lian

 But things are different now.

Not to mention that they were going to move to the General's Mansion that day, she said that this matter was originally a dispute between the couple, and it was natural for her to resolve it herself.

So, he smiled and said comfortingly.

“Sister-in-law and eighth sister, don’t worry, I have sent him away alive, and no one will come to make trouble in the next five rooms.”

 When she said this, her tone was very determined, and some inexplicable calculation flashed in her eyes.

This person will always have to pay some price for his personal greed.

 Otherwise, wouldn’t it always result in “good people being bullied by others” and “evil people having no one to punish them”?

 Thinking of this, I smiled even more happily.

Sister-in-law Liu didn't know why, but she always felt that there was something scary in her smile.

So, he said with a slight frown.

 “What methods did the brothers and sisters use?”

At this time, Aunt Dou came forward anxiously and said to Du Jingyi and Madam Liu, who were both blessed.

"The young lady sent them a hundred taels of silver, and the old slave was afraid that he would not be able to live in peace in the future."

"What?"

Sister-in-law Liu exclaimed, "One hundred taels of silver, it's not much, it's not much, it's not much."

 But she used to hold on tightly to prevent people with three or five bedrooms from getting involved.

 But now, Du Jingyi just missed it.

Mrs. Liu naturally knew that her dowry was expensive, and she could tell from the good things in this room.

 But these people are not the type to live a peaceful life just by taking money. They are afraid that they will be in trouble in the future.

Sister-in-law Liu looked at Du Jingyi and hesitated to speak.

 There is also worry and anger in the eyes.

But at the moment she was blaming herself more, and she was also sincerely worried about Dongyuan's future, so she spoke.

"It's because I came late and didn't tell you clearly about their family's affairs, so that's why...Mother Dou, if people from Beiyuan come over in the future, you'd better send someone to summon me, so as not to let them bother my brothers and sisters again! "

 Just one sentence made Grandma Dou’s face instantly turn bad.

She knew that it was her opening just now that made the eldest young lady say such words, and she suddenly felt a little ashamed of Du Jingyi.

I was afraid that Du Jingyi was so "beating" as soon as she was in the handsomeness. In the future, she was more damaged in her majesty, so she watched it.

 But Du Jingyi is not a person who cannot understand Haolai's words.

If she were an ordinary person, she would probably think that her eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, was trying to seize power, but she knew that this sister-in-law was the most well-behaved.

The second day after her husband Shang Ji came back, she told Butler He and Aunt Dou that in the future, all matters of Dongyuan should be handed over to Du Jingyi.

 After all, it will still be the couple who will be in charge of the family in the future.

 From then on, he lived quietly in Fuqiu Courtyard without any deliberate attempts to make things difficult.

 It’s just that everyone is used to it, and it really can’t be changed in an instant.

Over the years, she has always felt that the people in Dongyuan have not grown up, and they are still baby babies who need her to protect them.

 That's why he rushes to Xitang Courtyard whenever something goes wrong and takes everything on his own shoulders.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi understood in his heart, and the eighth sister Xue Niang also understood, and her eyes were rosy.

 Just suppressing his emotions and not letting tears flow out.

The whole room was filled with gloom and gloom, thinking about how to deal with the situation next.

 But among them, Du Jingyi and her maids Yingying and Lizhu were not included.

 Especially cherries.

 The master-servant relationship between her and Du Jingyi could not be deeper.

Hence, you can tell what Du Jingyi wants to do with just one glance, and naturally she will help him.

 So, seeing such a situation arise, she took a step forward and wanted to explain, but Du Jingyi shook his head in the dark.     There are some things that it is too early to say now.

Once everything is settled, it will not be too late to reveal it.

Cherry saw that his young lady's attitude was so firm, so she didn't insist anymore.

“You’re tired from all the hard work this early in the morning. I’ll take Snow Lady back first, so you can have a good rest, do you understand?”

Du Jingyi nodded and replied with a smile.

“Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I know how to take care of myself.”

Hearing what she said, sister-in-law Liu didn't say much.

　　Having lived under the same roof for three years, she never treats herself badly.

Sister-in-law Liu understood this, so she got up and left with Xue Niang.

After they left, Aunt Dou came forward, suddenly knelt down and said with great remorse.

"Young Madam, this servant has exceeded the rules. He didn't control his mouth when he saw the Young Madam. Please punish me, Young Madam."

Her attitude was respectful, but Du Jingyi did not answer her immediately.

Logically speaking, one should just explain this matter to the sister-in-law by oneself, but it was clear that Aunt Dou’s sudden intervention caused the whole matter to go in another direction.

 Originally, she planned to talk about her plan, but no one gave her the chance.

 Speaking of which, it is naturally for Dongyuan and Du Jingyi.

 But there is something that makes Du Jingyi unable to come to Taiwan.

In this high-end courtyard, the most taboo thing is for old slaves to deceive their masters.

Mother Dou had clearly kept this rule in mind before, but today, for some unknown reason, she suddenly spoke quickly.

Hence, I still can’t get over it until now.

Du Jingyi felt like he was aware of the situation. In the final analysis, it was because he didn't trust her enough to handle the matter well.

 So it’s useless to talk too much, everything will have to wait until later.

 When they see with their own eyes that they are indeed capable of serving as housekeepers, they will naturally not interfere too much.

After all, if she wants to use such a skilled nanny and housekeeper, she naturally has to convince them.

 Otherwise, if you rely solely on identity to suppress someone, you never know when it will backfire.

 She understands this better than anyone else.

So she asked Yingtao to help Mother Dou stand up, and then said soothingly.

“Mommy is also doing it for my own good. It’s just a quick talk for a moment. It’s okay.”

Du Jingyi’s lack of blame made Grandma Dou blame herself even more.

Even so, deep down in her heart, she still preferred to let the eldest young lady Liu handle the affairs of the three and five bedrooms, feeling that it was more reliable.

 So, self-blame is self-blame.

If they really come to make trouble again in the future, she will definitely send the news to Fuqiuyuan as soon as possible.

Du Jingyi also has to understand this.

So, I didn’t continue to dwell on this matter, but changed the subject to Aunt Dou.

“I suddenly want to eat some almond milk soup. Isn’t grandma the best at making this? Could you please excuse me?”

After hearing this, Grandma Dou nodded immediately, and then said with a bit of relief in her tone.

"Young lady wants to eat, I will do it now."

“Well, thank you for your hard work, mama.”

 After saying that, Aunt Dou withdrew respectfully.
