MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

 After a pause, Gu Xiaolang finally spoke.

"Sister-in-law, I know that the sin that Saburo has done this time is unforgivable, so I brought two children here today, not to plead for him, but to hope that you can consider the past friendship and treat the two children with each other. Let the children stay in the old house, and I will repay the rest with him!"

As soon as she said these words, everyone present was stunned.

"You repay it together with him? How? Gu Xiaolang, are you crazy?"

The eldest aunt said this because she hated the iron, and then tears rolled down her face. The person they once cherished was so angry that she could not speak for herself for the sake of others.

The third aunt also had nothing to say and could only shed tears silently.

Du Jingyi sighed in his heart when he saw this.

“You were thinking about him, but when he did these things, did he ever think about you?”

These words gave Gu Xiaolang another blow. Gu Xiaolang looked sad, but what could she do now?

So I had to be cruel and kowtow to the eldest aunt and others present.

"Everyone is upset for me, I know, but the relationship between husband and wife for more than ten years is not fake. I can't defend Sanlang for doing such a thing, but if I want to draw a clear line with him, I It’s really impossible, so I can only do it.”

The two children kept their heads down and said nothing. Seeing this, Du Jingyi knew in his heart.

"You should go back first. Your brother will make his own decisions on these matters when he wakes up. Now that the wedding is imminent, we have to go about our business as usual. We can talk about other things when the sedan chair enters the Gu family tomorrow."

 Then he waved his hand, and Du Jingyi did not want to say any more.

Seeing such an attitude, Gu Xiaolang lowered her head in shame. She also knew that it was useless to talk more at this time, so she could only leave silently.

It was useless for the other people to be there. They were also invited back by Du Jingyi. When they returned to the dormitory, Gu Shaoyu was still sleeping deeply.

Due to excessive blood loss, his lips were an unhealthy white color, and his face also became a little pale. Fortunately, the wound was treated in time, so he could get better as long as he nursed it.

“General, what should we do?”

Du Jingyi sighed in a low voice. The difficulty of this matter made her feel very difficult, and her brows were furrowed. It should have been the happiest day, but she happened to encounter such a thing.

 Then he found Cherry and said with a slightly serious expression.

"Go and tell your sister-in-law about this and ask her to send news to her parents' family. If something like this happens before marriage, we should all tell Miss Chen's family. If they think this is inappropriate, they want to There is nothing we can do about postponing the marriage, and we will discuss countermeasures when the time comes."

 “Yes, ma’am.”

After Cherry left, Du Jingyi quietly stayed by Gu Shaoyu's side. Only after two hours passed did Gu Shaoyu wake up slightly.

 Seeing the lady leaning over, he reached out and touched her hair. It had been smooth and shiny for decades.

“General, are you awake? Do you feel better?”

Gu Shaoyu knew Xia Meng had come when he saw the needle on his arm, so he nodded and said.

“My strength has recovered a lot. How is the situation at home?”

"I have sent someone to tell the Chen family what happened today. If they think it is inappropriate, they will postpone the wedding date and tell the public that I am ill. As for sister Lang'er, I have already told her. We have to shoulder these things together with Yan Sanlang, but I just hope that we can keep the children in the old house out of past feelings."

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu narrowed his eyes and said.

“Does she mean to report to the official?”

"I heard what you mean, yes." "You are fooling around, and the family scandal must not be made public. We can not care about Yan Sanlang's life or death, but what about the future of the children? Don't we want it?"

If the father is convicted, then the two children he had with Gu Xiaolang will have no way out. Isn't this using their futures to fill this hole?

Thinking of this, Gu Shaoyu took a deep breath and sat up.

Although there was no trauma to his chest, he was still kicked a few times, so he would still cough a little when he was kicked violently. When Du Jingyi saw this, he immediately stepped forward to give him some relief.

 Then Cherry came in and said.

“Madam, the eldest lady and the Chen family are here.”

 Both the couple felt that someone from the Chen family would definitely have something to say at this time, so no matter how good or bad they were, they could only stand up and see the guests.

Du Jingyi simply dressed Gu Shaoyu, and then helped him sit on an armchair. He originally wanted to put a soft pillow on his head, but Gu Shaoyu refused. Seeing this, Du Jingyi did not face any further embarrassment.

 After he sat down, Tao Tao led his sister-in-law Chen Yinhua and the Chen family in.

 “Shaoyu, how are you doing?”

 “I’ve made my sister-in-law worried, but I’m fine. Just take care of me.”

Chen Yinhua also knew that Gu Shaoyu was a strong person, so he didn't ask too many questions in front of the Chen family, so he explained.

“This person has been my sister-in-law’s mother-in-law for decades. She came here this time to get married to her two children.”

 “Well, you have to make a hard trip.”

"General, madam, you're welcome. My husband and wife both know what happened to the Gu family. They said that since they are getting married, they are one family and share the honor and disgrace. Therefore, I will ask the Gu family's sedan chair to come pick me up on time tomorrow. Our lady will definitely do it. Just leave the cabinet!"

Hearing this, both the couple felt that the Chen family was loyal, and Du Jingyi said gratefully.

"We will definitely keep this in mind. Thank you very much to the Chen family for their consideration."

After the woman delivered the message, she was naturally ready to leave. If she stayed too long, people outside would probably ask questions again, which would not be good if she brought up the Gu family's troubles.

So after sending the old woman away, Gu Shaoyu took a deep breath, and then said with a serious face.

“Tell everyone to go to Sanshan Hall and wait. If today’s affairs are not handled well, there will be complications when Brother Tai gets married tomorrow.”

 “But general, your body...”

 “It’s okay, it’s okay to just say a few words.”

Seeing that his attitude was so positive, Du Jingyi couldn't persuade him any more, and then found him some thicker clothes, just to avoid making him too weak.

Everyone in Sanshan Hall who got the news rushed over.

Everyone wants to know what Gu Shaoyu plans to do with Yan Sanlang, especially Gu Xiaolang and their two children, who are considered close relatives.

When Du Jingyi helped Gu Shaoyu out, he also saw his fourth aunt. She was in good spirits. Although she was injured, it was not that serious, so it was okay to come and listen.

“Fourth Aunt is just resting, why bother to make a trip?”

“I also have endless doubts in my heart, so come and listen, don’t worry about me, just say it.” (End of this chapter)
