Chapter 100: Love Knot

How did I offend this lady?

How come the young lady's temper is not as hard to figure out as hers! This is really outrageous! I must find a chance to complain to the young lady about her, and not let this little girl get ahead and act arrogantly! The moonlight evenly sprinkled every corner of the mansion. Some places seemed unusually warm, while some places were as dark as the night.

Inside the Yunjin Courtyard, looking at the Duke who was already fast asleep beside her, Madam Wei no longer had the patience she had before towards him.

After removing his arm from her waist with a little disgust, she quietly got off the bed.

He walked out into the room and sat on the armchair.

Aunt Jiao brought a coat over for her to put on, and poured her a cup of warm water, saying with a little concern.

"Madam, you should take a rest. We still have to prepare for the birthday banquet in a few days. It's not good to be listless."

"Humph, a birthday party. At such a critical moment, she only cares about her husband. What kind of a shitty birthday party is this? If it wasn't for Jialian's marriage, why would I give him such face?"

He glanced perfunctorily at Shang Yukuan who was not far away, and it was obvious how much he disliked Shang Yukuan for hiding when the Fifth Old Master went crazy a few days ago.

Once upon a time, she treated this gentle and kind husband sincerely.

But life in the rear house was really hard.

As time went by, the affection seemed to fade away, but the superficial efforts and responses became easier to do.

Although the matter of the fifth room has been suppressed, who knows when another accident will happen?

Therefore, there was a reason why she couldn't sleep well.

Aunt Jiao is her confidante and has been with her since she was a child, and it has been more than fifty years now.

Naturally, he understood what Mrs. Wei was thinking, so he whispered to comfort her.

"Madam, don't be anxious. With our cousin's looks and talent, it won't be difficult for her to find a husband. In my opinion, isn't she a perfect match for our Seventh Young Master? Moreover, from being sisters to being sisters-in-law, our family will be more united in the future."

Shang Silang married the eldest niece of Mrs. Wei’s family, named Wei Jiaying.

The Jialian that Mrs. Wei is talking about now is the youngest niece from her mother's family. She will be coming of age in four months, so it is time for her marriage to be put on the agenda.

Therefore, she planned to take advantage of this banquet to get a good look at them, but this did not include Qilang, whom she valued the most.

So, he waved his hand and said.

"Si Lang is kindhearted and soft-hearted. He must marry a daughter-in-law who shares my heart in order to protect the peace of the family and his future. But Qi Lang is different. He is not an ordinary person. In the future, he must choose a wife who is very helpful. That way, he can get the help of Yue family in the court."

As he spoke, he snorted coldly.

"Otherwise, we can't rely on that Duke, let alone the great general in Dongyuan."

Mrs. Wei saw this point more clearly than anyone else.

"Yes, with our Seventh Young Master's ability, he is more than qualified to be a royal consort."

What Madam Jiao said really touched Madam Wei's heart.

The Daxing Dynasty only lasted two generations, so there was no saying that the prince consort could not participate in politics.

On the contrary, several powerful families in the court today have climbed to their current positions because of their marriage to the royal family in their early years.

If her eldest daughter can successfully marry into Prince Fu's mansion, then her youngest son will also have a chance.

Who knows, maybe she can really become a mother-in-law to a princess.

Thinking of this, my blocked mind felt much better, and I was looking forward to the future.

However, the Duke was sleeping soundly and didn't seem to be woken up at all.

The moon sets and the sun rises, and it's another peaceful night.

When Du Jingyi stood up, as usual, the people around him had already left.

Even the bed was only slightly warm.

Every time after having sex, she felt like she didn't want to move.

As expected, he was a military general. If he continued to be like this, she felt that she might not be able to serve him anymore.

But even though there was nothing to do in the mansion, he couldn't continue sleeping like this, so he had to get up.

Cherry heard some noise in the inner room and walked in.

The master and servant understood each other tacitly, so there was not much embarrassment.

"Madam, the bathtub is ready. Do you want to take a bath now?"

"Well, let's go."

Du Jingyi loves cleanliness, and Cherry understands this best.

But I didn’t eat anything in the morning, so I didn’t soak for long. I just soaked in it for a while until all the stickiness on my body disappeared.

She applied perfume and then changed into a moon-white dress embroidered with green butterflies.

Her hair was loosely draped behind her. Li Zhu dried her hair while Du Jingyi started to have breakfast.

I have to say, life is very comfortable.

But this leisurely and carefree mood was soon disrupted by the list of names sent by the eldest sister-in-law.

Du Jingyi looked at the booklet, which was as thick as a book, and felt a little helpless.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Sister-in-law, keep writing without taking a break after you go back."

Even though I "complained" like this, I was still very grateful in my heart.

So he said to the person who came.

"Go back and tell my sister-in-law that I will definitely live up to her expectations. Just watch carefully."

"I understand."

Having said that, the man stepped back.

After Du Jingyi had eaten and drunk his fill, he took the booklet and began to flip through it.

I have to say that this eldest sister-in-law's style of doing things is very similar to that of Butler He and Madam Dou.

Probably it was Mrs. Gu who taught him, so he is particularly careful in his work.

That booklet basically recorded in detail all the famous princes, nobles, powerful officials and generals of the Daxing Dynasty.

“No wonder it’s so thick.”

Du Jingyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still read it carefully.

For her, about 30% of the information in this book was already known to her.

But this is the first time I have heard of the others. After all, there is still a gap between merchants and powerful families.

The other things here are easy to deal with, but she was curious about the people in the Taiwei Mansion, which was Mrs. Wei’s family.

The person in charge of the Wei family now is naturally Mrs. Wei’s father, the Grand Marshal.

He has climbed from an ordinary official to his current position, which is truly amazing.

Of course, the help of my wife's family is also indispensable.

Mrs. Wei has an older brother who has one son and two daughters.

Her brother is now the deputy commander of the military command department in Sui'an City, responsible for the defense of Sui'an City.

Naturally, his legitimate son also followed him to serve in the Military Command Department and is now a fifth-rank military officer.

The eldest daughter is Shang Silang's wife and Mrs. Wei's daughter-in-law.

Du Jingyi had never dealt with this before, but she felt that the two children she raised were a little too complacent.

It seems that he is not easy to educate.

As for this youngest daughter...

Du Jingyi tapped her name with his finger. Cherry, who was beside her and pouring tea for her, saw it and suddenly became nervous.
