MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 58 Two Couples (Fifth update on the shelves)

 “Madam, the general is back.”

ah?

 Why are you coming back now?

Du Jingyi thought that her husband would be staying in the military camp before the 19th.

　　So he took a look at the food on the table and saw that it was obviously not enough, so he immediately said to Cherry.

“Have Danruo prepare some more quickly, and pick out the ones the general likes and can fill his stomach with.”

"yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Ji walked in from outside.

 My face looks fine, but my clothes are a little dusty.

 This is inevitable when riding a horse and returning home.

If the former Du Jingyi sees it, he must go to the side room to clean it up before entering the main room.

 But now, if I really open this mouth, will I appear less "virtuous"?

If you offend your husband and the matter of returning home will be in vain, wouldn't it be worth the loss?

Thinking of this, Du Jingyi's smile was really sincere and warm, which made Shang Ji feel a little embarrassed.

 I couldn’t help but think that since I had only been away from home for one night, my wife seemed to have changed.

But then I thought of what I said to her before going out yesterday, and it suddenly became clear to me.

 Looking at her "attentive" walking forward, he said immediately.

 “The general is back.”

"Um."

“Can I have lunch? I’m just getting ready to eat.”

"I rushed back as soon as the military training was over, and I didn't have anything to eat."

"Okay, I'll ask you to prepare more in the kitchen. Is Guard Luo coming back with you? Do you want to prepare some for him?"

Du Jingyi's voice was not too loud, but Luo Yuan outside the door had good ears, so he could hear clearly clearly, so he shouted loudly.

 “Mrs. Xie.”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but chuckle, and then said to the maid Yingtao.

“Tell Danruo to prepare some for Guard Luo.”

 “Yes, young lady.”

 Cherry is still very well-behaved in front of Shang Ji and Du Jingyi.

 Just when he walked out the door and saw Luo Yuan's face, he couldn't help but frown, as if he had done something irregular.

 But without leaving a word, he went to the small kitchen at the back.

Luo Yuan innocently looked at Li Zhu next to him, lowered his voice and asked.

“Is there something wrong with the sister next to the young madam? Why is she looking at me every day as if she’s on guard against a thief?”

Li Zhu glanced at the figure of Ying Tao who was gradually retreating in the corridor, and then glanced at Luo Yuan.

 After a while, he explained.

"Maybe it's because your appearance is not pleasing to the eye. I remember Sister Cherry once said that men with too thick eyebrows are all flirtatious. Guard Luo took a look at your eyebrows. Hey, they are not as thick as usual."

Luo Yuan was immediately speechless when she said this.

 Isn’t it said that people should not be judged by their appearance?

 Besides, everyone in the Luo family has thick eyebrows, and I don’t think my grandfather and father were so carefree.

So he hummed twice and said.

"You're an unreliable sister. You haven't even said a few words. You just judge people by their appearance. It's boring! I have to let her know. So what if my eyebrows are thick? People who shouldn't be bothered won't be judged because of their thick eyebrows. People who are carefree will not stop being carefree just because their eyebrows are thin!”

Li Zhu felt dizzy listening to him talking about such two sentences, so he spread his hands and expressed calmly.

“Then I wish Luo Weiwei immediate success?”

Luo Yuan was speechless and asked the sky.

　　Why is the young lady so smart and clever, but the maids around her are so stupid?

 I really thought of a good word to describe it for a moment.

 In the corridor, the two of them were talking in low voices.

 In the room, Du Jingyi was already waiting for Shang Ji to change his clothes.

 Shang Ji is used to being in the army, so he doesn't pay attention to these things.

 But he was as meticulous as a hair, and with a quick glance, he could see that everything in this main house was exquisite and clean.

The same goes for his wife's clothes, and Shang Ji has never seen her wearing the same clothes.

Hence, he himself felt a little out of place.

 So, in order not to stand out too much, he thought about it and said.

“There are clean clothes here that are suitable for me. I’ll go to the penthouse to wash up and then come over for dinner.”

Du Jingyi was a little surprised when he heard what he said.     But he answered quickly.

"Yes, the general's uniforms that he kept in the study are all in the cabinet. I will give them to you."

"good."

Shang Ji felt that he was covered in dust and couldn't sit down.

Du Jingyi opened the cupboard door to take out the clothes. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he turned around and glanced at Shang Ji, asking curiously.

“General, would you like to change your shoes and socks?”

Hearing this, Shang Ji's face turned a little green.

This little lady, does she dislike the smell of her feet? That's why you have this question?

If Luo Yuan dared to ask this, I'm afraid he would have been thrown out long ago.

But when Shang Ji looked at his wife's innocent expression and eyes, he couldn't get angry no matter how angry he was, so he could only pretend to be calm and speak.

"good."

Seeing this, Du Jingyi brought him some clean shoes and socks and sent them over.

 Then he said with a smile.

"These are also the general's. A new batch of clothes and shoes and socks will be delivered by Luju in a few days. I will let the general try them out and change them if there are any discomforts."

"good."

Shang Ji didn’t think he talked much before, but why did he seem so talkative in front of his wife?

So he was about to take the clothes and go to the ear room to wash up and change clothes, but he heard Du Jingyi shouting outside.

 “Li Zhu.”

 “Hey, young lady.”

 “Serve the general to groom himself.”

"yes."

 Then, he handed Li Zhu the clean clothes, shoes and socks.

That Li Zhu also has no eyesight, and only wants to complete the tasks assigned by the young lady.

 Completely did not notice his general's face as black as the bottom of a pot.

However, after this incident, Shang Ji understood something.

That means that my wife must have some mysophobia, otherwise why would she not be able to change her clothes, and even her shoes and socks must be changed into clean ones.

But wanting to think about it, he followed Li Zhu and turned around and entered the ear room.

 After he washed his hands, he let Li Zhu go out, saying that he would change them himself.

Li Zhu frowned, but still didn't dare to question the general's words, turned around and prepared to go out.

As a result, before leaving, I saw a piece of fragrant soap and suddenly remembered something, so I found a new piece and handed it to Shang Ji, and then said in a kind manner.

“General, this is the young madam’s favorite spice. You can try it. It smells very good.”

Shang Ji's face fell and he scolded.

 “Nonsense.”

 Think of him as a dignified general, what kind of soap can he use?

 If you spread the word, you will be laughed at by others, so you will not accept it if you stick your neck out.

Li Zhu had no choice but to put the fragrant soap back to its original position, and then quickly left the ear room.

Time flies so fast, and it’s time to put it on the shelves.

Hee hee, my current hand speed can provide better support. I will give you some updates~~

So, today I am posting 5 chapters, giving you a small update!

Next, we will give you continuous updates based on the conditions for adding updates~

Daily updates are still the same as the old rules, 3 chapters per day, posted in the early morning, please pay attention to check them.

(But it seems that many sisters know it, haha, so I won’t say more)

The following are the conditions and goals for adding updates. Compared with the book "The Royal Concubine", I have lowered the conditions a lot because it is a new book that has just been released. At the same time, I also want to give you more updates. I hope you will not be stingy. With the tickets in your hand, throw them at me like crazy!

Target:

An additional chapter will be added when the number of recommendation votes reaches 366 on that day.

An additional chapter will be added when the monthly ticket reaches 36 on that day.

An additional chapter will be added when 600 new additions are added to the collection on that day.

An additional chapter will be added when the reward reaches 6666 on the same day.

An additional chapter will be added during statutory holidays.

The above updates can be superimposed. For example, if 1 and 2 are satisfied at the same time, two chapters will be added, but the number of chapters added on that day shall not exceed 3 chapters.

Additional updates will be added the next day. After seeing the statistics, if the standards are met, they will be arranged for everyone!

Regarding the plan for this book this time, I personally want to make a breakthrough to see if I can write about 3 million words.

Hahaha, of course it depends on my subsequent efforts, but over one million is no problem.

I hope you all enjoy watching it and remember to vote for me~
