MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 65 Cezhou Cuisine

“The cooks in my father-in-law’s house are all very good at cooking, but my son-in-law is used to living in Cezhou, so he suddenly likes these two familiar dishes.”

Everyone took a look and saw that it was indeed Cezhou’s breakfast.

Mr. Du nodded with approval and said.

"I understand, I understand. When you move, the cook will be sent with you."

Du Jingyi was slightly speechless.

Last time I sent a cook who can cook Jinling cuisine, now I send a cook who can cook Cezhou cuisine.

I have to say that the couple had some skills in taking one of them with them when they came here.

When Shang Ji saw this, his usually serious face became a little more calm and calm, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said.

 “My father-in-law is so kind, but my son-in-law is not polite.”

 “You’re welcome, we are a family.”

He Shilin, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but touch his nose.

 In fact, Pingzhou is not far from Cezhou, so he also likes the Cezhou dishes cooked by this chef.

　　But the father-in-law has already said what he said, so he can’t grab his “favor”.

So, I secretly decided to eat Cezhou cuisine for a while before the cook was sent out.

 It’s also a good way to relieve the greedy hook in his belly~

 Have a good breakfast.

Shang Jihui wanted to bring Du Jingyi back because he wanted her to have a good reunion with her family members.

Therefore, after breakfast, he left early on the pretext that he still had military duties.

When leaving, Du Jingyi asked a few more questions.

"Maybe the general will be able to come back in the evening? If so, how about we have dinner together and then return to the Duke's residence?"

Shang Ji thought about it and thought it was okay, so he nodded and said.

"Everything I have to do today is in the city. I will come over later. Is it about the same time?"

“Well, I and everyone are waiting for you to come back and have a meal together.”

"good."

After everything was explained, Shang Ji took Luo Yuan and left in a hurry.

Looking at his free and easy look, Mr. Du couldn't help but touched his round belly and said.

"When can a father take such steps? That's a majestic thing."

His words were full of envy, but what he envied was not Shang Ji's authority, but the way he walked.

I have to say that Mr. Du’s idea is really unique.

As a result, Du Jingyi tilted his head over and pretended to look at it, and then said with a sigh.

 “Well, it’s impossible.”

Hearing this, Mr. Du also pretended to be angry and slapped her, and then said viciously.

"You stinky girl, you are really the one who got married and threw water on you. You are not afraid of your mother getting angry when you say this to your father?"

“Mom is reluctant to hit me, right~”

Du Jingyi will find a backer for herself, knowing that her mother loves her, so she starts acting like a spoiled child.

Mrs. Du glanced at the father and daughter helplessly, and couldn't help but said.

“Okay, my uncle is still here, let him see the joke.”

 Father and daughter used to like to quarrel, but they never got rid of this "problem", so they suddenly forgot that there was actually an "outside" eldest brother-in-law in the family.

 It's a pity that Mr. Du and Du Jingyi are both very thick-skinned people, so they are not afraid of this.

 Just talking and laughing, the conversation has passed.

He Shilin still had the Chunwei exam to take, so he sat down for a while and then returned to the study to continue hanging on the beam and pricking his buttocks. Therefore, there are only four members of the Du family left in the main room of Mingse Courtyard.

 This is the first time for such a reunion since the two daughters got married, so the four of them cherish it very much.

The first person to speak was naturally Mrs. Du, who always put her daughter's situation first. Seeing her face look slightly serious and worried, she asked.

 “A few days ago, people in the Duke’s Mansion made trouble?”

Du Jingyi was a little confused, but he soon understood.

 “Are you talking about the death of Wufang’s steward a few days ago?”

Hearing the word dead, Du Jingxiang couldn't help but tighten his back, picked up the handkerchief and covered his mouth.

 She is timid and usually fears these things the most.

So when Du Jingyi noticed it, he immediately patted her arm and gave her a reassuring smile.

Mrs. Du was not afraid of danger, but her expression was much grimmer than before.

"Well, I heard that his surname is Qi, and he is a distant relative of the fifth wife in the Duke's mansion. Wu Lang in your mansion has been talking about it outside, but I sent someone to inquire about it carefully. , I didn’t say anything bad about you and your wife, so I didn’t let anyone send you news.”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but laugh.

And Yingying and Lizhu, who were standing behind her, couldn't hold back and laughed along with their young lady.

These three people smiled strangely, and the Du couple and Du Jingxiang looked at her inexplicably.

At this point, Du Jingyi told the things related to Manager Qi Er.

 Including how he made Shang Ji angry before he was beaten, including how the people from the fifth house came to stir up trouble, and naturally also included how she dealt with him back.

The three members of the Du family looked at each other in shock.

Du Jingxiang was still in shock that Shang Ji had killed a slave, but what surprised the Du family and his wife even more was that their daughter actually used the medicine.

That is a good thing that Mr. Du spent a lot of money to buy from the Western Regions.

They had planned it in order to give Du Jingyi a way out.

Once the drug is used, symptoms will appear in about a month depending on individual circumstances.

 At first, I felt discomfort in my body and bones, and gradually I felt weak and weak, and even vomited and felt dizzy.

 After that, some red rashes will appear, which may even itch severely.

 It looks very scary, but in fact there is no possibility of contagion.

 It’s just that everyone is afraid of the epidemic.

 Naturally, people who may have the "epidemic" should be moved out of the house.

In this way, the Du family will naturally have the opportunity to come to ask for reconciliation and let Du Jingyi be free.

What the Dus and Mrs. Du did not expect was that their own daughter did not use the medicine, but the person in the fifth room used it first.

So Mr. Du lowered his voice and asked.

“Have you collected the antidote?”

“Dad, don’t worry, Cherry is doing something, are you still worried that it’s inappropriate?”

Hearing this sentence, Cherry also said particularly calmly.

“Don’t worry, sir, I didn’t touch it at all. Even the tray was properly disposed of after use. It will never be discovered by others and affect the young lady.”

"That's good."

The Du family and his wife are not trustworthy men and good women.

And the dirty relatives in the Duke's mansion are not much better than those in the Du family.

Hence, my daughter doesn’t think there is anything wrong with using medicine to deal with them.

 If you can get rid of one, it's one. Otherwise, why keep it? Be an ancestor?

Du Jingyi also meant the same thing, so he didn’t leave much room for action.
