MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 53 Money-obsessed

The thousand taels of gold given by the emperor sounds a bit light.

But when everyone opened the cage, the golden ingots, like little golden pigs giving birth, fell into Du Jingyi's eyes.

 Steward He and Aunt Dou who came with them have seen the world.

　　When I saw this "scene in the warehouse", I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.

 Not to mention the maids Yingying and Lizhu next to them.

 The Du family is rich, and so is their young lady. They have known this since they were young.

 But the money is mostly in the books, in the furniture, and in the exchange of favors.

This is really the first time that it is shown so nakedly in front of you.

 It has to be said that the impact of Wan Liang of Gold was quite great. Even Du Jingyi was silent for a short while before speaking.

"Your Majesty treats the general very well, we must be more devoted to the general."

Her words sounded like a joke.

 But who would have thought that the two stupid girls beside her immediately began to swear.

“Even if I go up mountains of swords and go down into seas of fire, I will never betray the general or the young lady!”

 Then he whispered in his heart, "I won't betray these ten thousand taels of gold."

Such a determined expression made Du Jingyi, Butler He and Aunt Dou laugh.

A few people were very happy and stood in the warehouse admiring it for a long time.

 Then Du Jingyi said to Butler He and Aunt Dou.

“Let’s start the construction tomorrow. If it’s finished the earlier, we can move into this mansion earlier.”

 “Yes, young lady!”

 Following that, Du Jingyi said to Aunt Dou.

"I remember that grandma showed me some auspicious days last time. It seems that the 26th of next month is not enough time. How about setting it on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month? In three or two months, Is it enough for you to clean up this place?"

“Young lady, don’t worry, one or two months is enough. You just have to carry and move our things in Dongyuan, so that’s about the same.”

"Okay, if that's the case, let's make arrangements. We will move here on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. We can cook Laba porridge in the house in a few days. If we have a lively New Year, there will be good omens for the coming year!"

　Du Jingyi’s words are full of expectations for the future.

 Not just her, but everyone present as well.

After handling the matter at the General's Mansion, Du Jingyi took everyone back to the Duke's Mansion.

 I didn’t feel it when I went there, but now after seeing such a comparison in the General’s Mansion, Du Jingyi’s Dongyuan, which Du Jingyi thought was pretty good at first, now really dislikes everything.

 But fortunately, it was only a matter of three or two months.

As we started moving one after another, the days no longer felt long.

 After having dinner alone, Du Jingyi was a little tired.

He asked Yingying to bring a wooden bucket over and soaked his feet in the ear room.

This afternoon, I took a road that Du Jingyi had not walked in the past ten and a half days.

 She has delicate skin, so the soles of her feet are a little red and swollen.

 Fortunately, the shoes were made by Lu Jue herself, otherwise, they would probably be scratched.

Putting your delicate feet into the warm water, it hurt a little at first, but gradually it became more comfortable.

Du Jingyi sighed with emotion.

 “It’s been a really tiring day today.”

The maidservant Cherry who was waiting for her next to her heard it and laughed and said in agreement.

"Young madam, you have worked hard today. You have to deal with the affairs of the fifth room now, and the affairs of the general's palace now. You are really exhausted. I will massage your feet later and make sure you have a good sleep." It hurts."

“Forget it, you have been with me all day today, so you should wash up early and rest. From tomorrow onwards, you will tidy up what needs to be tidied up in the yard, and move there slowly, so you can add it little by little.”

Du Jingyi ordered, and the maid Yingtao also nodded and answered immediately.

“Well, don’t worry, young lady, I will take care of it.”

"I need to take a good look at the two gold pines at the door and find a more experienced gardener to take care of them. I don't want all the famous species that were moved there to die." "I understand."

 Du Jingyi is rich, this is an indisputable fact.

 But at the same time, she is not wasteful.

 And these flowers, plants and trees have been with her for three years. Who said that plants and trees can be treated ruthlessly?

 She just couldn't bear it.

 While soaking my feet, I explained.

The master and servant were talking in the ear room, when suddenly Li Zhu hurried in from outside.

Looking like he had heard some big news, he deliberately lowered his voice and said to Du Jingyi.

 “Young madam, the general and the eldest madam had a quarrel.”

Not to mention that Du Jingyi didn't believe what he said, Tao Tao was also very surprised and immediately replied.

"How is that possible? Maybe you have misunderstood."

Li Zhu frowned, but his expression looked like he was lying to others that he was a dog, and then he said.

“It happened in the morning, when the young lady was sleeping.”

"ah?"

After hearing what Li Zhu said, Cherry believed it this time and said immediately.

"When the general came back today, he came over specifically to see the young lady. But the young lady was sleeping, so he didn't bother her much. Instead, he asked Luo Yuan to find Butler He and Aunt Dou to go to the study to talk about something. What I was thinking was The general just wants to explain something to them, is it possible that he went to find the young lady to make a fuss?"

 They themselves didn’t quite believe it when they heard this.

After all, for his general, his sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, respects her very much. It can be seen clearly by looking at his attitude in the past few days since he came back.

 Why did you suddenly run out and make a scene?

Du Jingyi wiped the water on his feet with a handkerchief, and then put on Shu brocade soft satin shoes.

He glanced at Cherry and asked seriously.

“But what did you say?”

　　Cherry cried out that she was wronged and recounted the entire conversation she had with her general this morning.

 At the end, he also specifically told the story of Shang Ji running back to deliver medicine last night.

Du Jingyi was a little surprised when she heard this, but it was not the time for her to care about it now.

 After thinking about it, he said to Li Zhu.

“In the past two days, you should inquire more about what’s going on in Fuqiu Courtyard. If my sister-in-law does anything, come and report it immediately, you know?”

 “Don’t worry, young lady, I know this.”

After explaining Li Zhu, he said to Ying Ying again.

"Go and talk to Butler He. If the general comes back, tell him that I have something to discuss."

"good."

The two maids didn't waste any time and hurried out of the gate of Xitang Courtyard.

Du Jingyi moved his somewhat heavy legs and feet back to the main room, rested on the kang, and gently rubbed his legs and feet.

 The movements of his hands did not stop, and there were many thoughts in his heart.

Thinking about it, she felt that the quarrel between the husband and his sister-in-law was probably about her, or about his nephew Shang Zhiping.

If it were for Ping'er, she could still be more open-minded.

 But if it’s for her, for the matter of taking charge in this backyard, that’s a bit tricky.
