MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

"Besides, we have never had any disagreements as a family over the years. If you really take such gossip to heart, then this will make my aunts sad."

Hearing what Du Jingyi said, the two of them also felt that it made sense.

“What my sister-in-law is saying is that we know how to live our lives behind closed doors. It doesn’t matter what people outside say!”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi felt relieved, but the coldness in her eyes did not dissipate.

 There is no smoke without fire. It is probably because they have been living in Cezhou for these years that there are so many gossips about the Gu family in Jinling City.

 It is clear that all the sons and daughters of the Gu family once paid the painful experience of almost wiping out their entire family in order to protect this land and the people. However, decades have passed and fewer and fewer people remember this.

Now that such a thing can still be used as a joke, this makes Du Jingyi feel even more disgusting than saying that the children are not of the Gu family's blood.

 So although there was not much movement on his face, Luo Yi felt a chill.

She has been with Du Jingyi, her sister-in-law, for many years, but she has never felt it in her body, so she frowned.

 A good afternoon was wasted like this.

The four of them pretended to be calm on the surface, but no one spoke on the way back. The silence was terrifying. After getting off the carriage, they said goodbye and returned to the yard.

Luo Yi was anxious and didn't know if something would happen, so he hurried back to the small courtyard. He happened to catch his husband and mother-in-law talking, so he explained the matter clearly.

Neither of them looked good-looking, and Li Zhu standing next to them was also quite angry.

"Madam has always been the most protective of her own family. Those who say such things will definitely be dealt with severely."

Li Zhu has grown up next to Du Jingyi since she was a child, so she knows her very well. Gu Jiulang also felt extremely uncomfortable after hearing this.

If it weren't for the appearance of the two sisters Gu Xiaochun and Gu Xiaoyun, where did these children come from? Since they all have the surname Gu, they are the ones the Gu family wants to protect, so this matter cannot be left alone. .

So, after being silent for a short while, he set off to the courtyard where Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi were.

When I entered the door, I saw the maids standing outside, and it seemed that someone was talking inside.

 “Brother, sister-in-law, I’m here.”

 In the back room, when Tai Geer and Du Jingyi heard Gu Jiulang's voice, they immediately walked out. They thought something had happened, so they quickly walked up to him.

“What’s wrong, Uncle Jiu? But your leg hurts again? I’ll go find a doctor for you!”

Before he could move, he was caught by Gu Jiulang. He shook his head and said with a serious expression.

 “Let’s talk about it inside.”

"good."

Taking over from Luo Yi, Brother Tai pushed Gu Jiulang into the back room. When Du Jingyi saw the couple coming, he knew about it.

“Have your sister-in-law told you?”

“Having said that, what are your plans, sister-in-law?”

"In less than half a month, Brother Tai will get married, so it is difficult for this matter to happen. However, the Gu family cannot tolerate such misunderstandings from outsiders, so I thought that after Brother Tai gets married, I can use it as an excuse to worship my ancestors. For one thing, we should repair the cemetery properly, and at the same time, we should also mention the things about the children in the family tree. The most important thing is, the division of the family fields. I originally thought that we would wait until they get married, but now It seems like it’s better to arrange to go out earlier!”

Hearing this, Gu Jiulang also nodded. "That's what I mean too. After Brother Tai gets married, he will succeed the Duke of the Gu family. He will wait for the imperial edict to be issued before sending it over. It will take two months anyway. It will be stuck before Jin'er gets married. By then, aunt With Second Aunt, they can also be a little more comforted."

Of the original four bedrooms of the Gu family, there is still Gu Xiaolang in the third bedroom, and Gu Jiulang in the fourth bedroom. It seems that they still have blood, but the first and second bedrooms have really lost their blood.

 Hence, they cannot be allowed to suffer any injustice in this matter.

While several people were discussing how to get this thing done, the eldest aunt and the second aunt were also discussing to see if there were any mistakes or omissions.

“Brother Tai’s marriage is a big deal, so we can’t be careless! Let’s confirm it a few more times now, so we can feel more at ease.”

"Sister-in-law, I have said this several times, and we have spoken to each other many times before and after. If you are still not at ease, just wait until Yinhua comes back and look at it again. Her temperament is delicate and nuanced. If there is anything inappropriate, You can definitely find it somewhere.”

"That's right. Hey, people really like to nag when they get older. I always feel that I won't be relieved until the day it is completed."

The second aunt patted her hand, silently comforting her.

 The next day, my sister-in-law Chen Yinhua rushed back.

When he saw Du Jingyi and the others, his usually serious face became a little more smiling, and then he stepped forward and said.

"The day you are coming is not sure, so I went back first. How is it? Are you still getting used to it?"

“What’s wrong with going home? There are more and more fun places in Jinling City. Look at how many children go out early and come back late. They refuse to go back until dark every day.”

When Chen Yinhua heard this, he smiled without stopping.

 Then he looked at Gu Jiulang, with distress in his eyes. He sighed and walked over and said.

 “Xiaojiu, are you okay?”

"Sister-in-law, I...I'm fine, but my legs are not working anymore."

Listening to Gu Jiulang's hoarse voice, Chen Yinhua felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, but she had known these things for a long time. Even though her heart was turbulent at the moment, she still endured it and showed some calmness.

 Unfortunately, her slightly trembling handkerchief still revealed some problems.

“It’s good to come back, it’s good to come back and spend more time at home, you know?”

"Um."

Sister-in-law Chen Yinhua originally wanted to reach out and touch his head, just like when she was a child. After all, when she got married, Eight Lang and Nine Lang were still children, so she always treated them as children. Pampered by a generation of people.

 It's just that things are different for them now.

They are already at an age where they know destiny and are not confused. It would be a bit inappropriate to do such an action again, so they stopped thinking and turned to Du Jingyi.

"He'an knew that you were coming, so he specially prepared a gift for me to bring back with him. I heard that this thing is not easy to come by. Please take a look and see if you like it."

"Oh? We would like to go together. Let me see what she gave first?"

 “Wine, made by her own hands.”

Du Jingyi was a little surprised when he heard the name of this wine.
