Chapter 105 First Confrontation

Silang's wife looked up at Du Jingyi. What she said sounded nice.

But in fact, isn't it just a roundabout way of saying that he bullied Xue Niang, a half-grown child?

She was the one who helped her mother-in-law manage the household in the backyard, and was in charge of the household expenses. Naturally, she had some status as a superior that could not be questioned.

Just as I was about to say a few words, Du Jingyi avoided the topic.

"Today is my father-in-law's birthday party. I think it's almost time now. I guess the guests will be arriving soon. My husband and father-in-law should go to the front hall first."

Hearing her words, Shang Yukuan just laughed it off and said.

"Yes, yes, yes, Liu Lang's wife is still sensible. Si Lang, Qi Lang, Ping Er, He Er, let's go first."

After hearing this, the others were at a loss to refute.

Shang Ji glanced at Du Jingyi with some worry, but when he saw that she was very calm and smiling, he felt more relieved.

"Let's go."

He spoke, and the others followed.

Shang Zhihe took a big step forward and walked to Shang Yukuan's side.

The focus today is grandfather, and he is always by his side, so naturally he can attract everyone's attention.

Shang Zhiping was a little hesitant, which made his sister-in-law Liu extremely worried and sighed in her heart.

Du Jingyi took two steps forward and whispered to him.

"Ping'er, follow your sixth uncle. I heard that there will be several young men from aristocratic families of your age coming this time. They are all humble people. Maybe you can make some friends."

Maybe it was because her voice was so soft and calm.

There was neither the seriousness of Uncle Six nor the sighs of Mother.

So Shang Zhiping relaxed a little, smiled shyly at Du Jingyi, and said.

"Thank you, Aunt Six."

Then he moved to Shang Ji's side.

Shang Ji also knew that Ping'er's temper could not be changed in one day, so he softened his tone and gave him some advice.

"Don't be afraid, let's go together."

"……good."

Shang Zhihe looked at this "eldest grandson" coldly, with contempt evident in his eyes.

Du Jingyi did not miss his expression and had some thoughts in his mind.

The men went to the front hall to entertain the guests, and the only ones left were naturally the women.

With the "quarrel" just now, the atmosphere is not very good at the moment.

Mrs. Wei asked Du Jingyi while drinking tea.

"You suddenly fell ill a few days ago. I thought it would take some time for you to recover, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. It seems that the palace doctor's skills have improved."

How could Du Jingyi not know that this was a reminder to her, so she thought about it and replied with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, Madam Wei. This palace doctor is really good."

Silang's wife, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but sneer when she heard this.

"Perhaps Dongyuan is blessed with good fortune, so for all these years, we have heard about this disease and that disease every day, but today when I take a closer look, everyone is well."

She was born in the Taiwei Mansion, and her grandfather and father were both people who held real power in the court.

Naturally, they won’t be very polite when speaking, but compared to the third and fifth rooms, they won’t be as straightforward.

But the weird tone still makes people feel uncomfortable.

Especially Liu, the eldest sister-in-law whose husband passed away, felt as if her heart was touched when she heard this, and she retorted to Silang's wife.

"Speak more politely, sister-in-law. Do you have to be so sarcastic on such a nice day?"

Silang's wife was not angry when she heard this, but said it with an innocent look on her face.

"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood me. What I meant was to praise your Dongyuan. So, in a good place like that, you should stay there more and go out less."

"you……"

She spoke with a veiled intent, sarcastically saying that everyone in Dongyuan should just stay in their small homes and not go out like before.

Sister-in-law Liu couldn't help but hear it. She also wanted to fight back, but she didn't have the confidence enough.

Moreover, this is Yunjin Courtyard, which is Madam Wei’s territory.

This Silang's wife is both her niece's daughter and her daughter-in-law, so naturally she would take sides.

I thought this time it would be the same as before and I would be defeated.

Unexpectedly, Du Jingyi spoke, smiling even sweeter than before.

"Does Fourth Sister-in-law like the East Garden so much? Then when we move to the General's Mansion, let Madam Wei decide to move you there, so that the West Garden won't be too crowded to accommodate two families."

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

"I heard that even the courtyard where my eldest sister lived before was demolished and moved out to make room for the children. Don't worry, I will tidy up the courtyard before I leave so that you can move in and live there. It will also help you to bring prosperity to this blessed land of Dongyuan."

In terms of sarcasm, Du Jingyi's words left Silang's wife speechless.

On the one hand, he mocked the crowded Xiyuan, and on the other hand, he implied that they were only worthy of using the remaining courtyard.

If you think about it carefully, Mrs. Wei was also scolded.

Didn't she just pick up the position of the Duke's wife left by Madam Gu?

It’s so precious.

The three generations of Xiyuan grandparents and grandchildren stared at Du Jingyi, all with unhappy expressions.

In the past, Madam Wei would put on more false expressions to cover up herself, but after what happened in the fifth room, she knew that it was useless to cover up anymore.

He simply revealed his true face and snorted coldly at Du Jingyi.

"Sixth Lang's wife, you are so young, don't talk so much. After all, Fourth Lang's wife entered the family before you and gave birth to our Duke's family's children. It's inappropriate for you to embarrass her by saying this."

Du Jingyi put down the teacup in his hand and replied.

"Oh, look, I've overstepped my bounds. I thought that Madam Wei wouldn't blame Fourth Sister-in-law for talking to Eldest Sister-in-law like that, and she thought that our family was a place where people could joke around."

He turned his head and looked at Silang's wife, and said with some provocation in his eyes.

"Since it's my fault, I will apologize to Fourth Sister-in-law, but Eldest Sister-in-law... Shouldn't Fourth Sister-in-law say something too?"

Silang's wife suppressed her anger tightly. When she looked at Du Jingyi, she wanted to slap her twice.

But her husband was a great general of the dynasty, and she was inferior to him in status. Therefore, no matter how angry she was, she had to endure it.

So he stood up and reluctantly submitted to his sister-in-law Liu.

"I spoke too quickly and made my sister-in-law unhappy. It's my fault. Please don't blame me."

Seeing this, Xueniang and her elder sister-in-law Liu both breathed a sigh of relief.

For so many years, they have been staying in Dongyuan, and they can't be persuaded or beaten. They feel very frustrated every day.

Today, with Du Jingyi's help, I feel much more relaxed.

Therefore, the look in their eyes when they looked at her was filled with gratitude and joy.

Mrs. Wei naturally saw it as well and snorted in her heart.

Isn't it because she is relying on her husband's status that she is showing off here?

Just wait and see, someone will come to clean up soon.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared.
