Chapter 115: Gathering in Dongyuan

Princess Fu smiled and replied.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Princess."

Afterwards, Princess Fu glanced at Du Jingyi, and it was hard to tell what she meant by that glance.

Everyone has their own thoughts when eating a meal.

At the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Shang Yukuan saw off his colleagues with a bitter face, his eyes slightly red, and it was obvious that he was not in a good mood.

On the other hand, Shang Ji, who was standing next to him, showed little expression and was still as calm as he was in the morning.

After seeing off every family, Shang Yukuan couldn't help but ask.

"Liu Lang, if today's incident gets out, will it have a bad impact?"

Shang Ji looked down at his father and then asked.

"What do you mean by bad influence father? On Prince Fu's Mansion? Or on the Duke's Mansion?"

"I have both, after all, he is my own child. This grandson broke my grandson's leg. I have to take both sides. What should I do next?"

Shang Ji glanced at his father indifferently, then replied.

"You'll have to ask Madam Wei and Princess Fu. My son has something else to do in his room, so I won't tell you any more."

After saying that, he took Shang Zhiping away from the gate.

When he left, he did not forget to bring Xing Zhao, who was watching the fun a few steps away, back to the East Garden.

In the flower hall, Madam Wei respectfully saw off Princess Yuehua and all the ladies and young ladies, then she hurriedly took Princess Fu to Chengming Courtyard.

Looking at their hurried footsteps, Mrs. Xing snorted coldly.

"Could it be that the mountain at home collapsed? Why are you so anxious?"

Du Jingyi didn't know the whole story, so he didn't comment and just said to Mrs. Xing.

"It's rare for Aunt to come here. Please come back to East Garden with us and have a cup of tea before leaving."

"Okay, let's go."

At this point, the few of them returned to East Garden safely.

When he arrived at the door, he happened to see Shang Ji bringing Shang Zhiping and Xing Zhao back.

The whole family finally got together.

When they met, Du Jingyi first saw her husband, and then the "cousin Zhao" mentioned by Xueniang.

As expected, he was born to be a dashing and dashing man, with the nobility and unruly air of a young man from an aristocratic family.

Xing Zhao also saw Du Jingyi at a glance.

Then he turned his head to glance at Shang Ji next to him and said in amazement.

"No wonder cousin Shao Yu doesn't miss the military camp. It turns out that his cousin's wife is so beautiful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Xing slapped him on the back of the head and said viciously.

"You little brat, you even dare to tease your cousin and his wife, you must be itching for trouble."

Then you have to twist his ears.

Xing Zhao cried out in pain and quickly hid behind Shang Ji, begging for mercy.

"Mother, my son is already in his twenties. Why are you still beating him up like a child? Don't I have any dignity? Look, I'm making fun of myself, aren't I?"

Mrs. Xing turned around and saw that Liu, Du Jingyi and Xue Niang were all laughing, so she also laughed and shook her head and said.

"This brat has been favored since he was young, so he didn't learn the rules very well. Please don't mind, Liu Lang's wife."

Xing Zhao was teasing Shang Ji and Du Jingyi, so Mrs. Xing said this to Du Jingyi.

Instead, Du Jingyi took a step forward and spoke.

"Don't be polite, Auntie. We are all family. It's interesting that cousin Zhao is more lively."

Her words were as clear as jade beads falling on a plate, and Xing Zhao smiled when he heard them.

"My cousin's wife is really good at judging people."

Shang Ji glanced at him with a cold face, and Xing Zhao didn't dare to say anything even if he had more "rude words" to say.

Seeing this, sister-in-law Liu responded.

"Let's go, it's rare for Aunt and Cousin Zhao to come over, don't stand here and talk."

After this statement was made, everyone entered the East Garden together.

Because Xing Zhao was there, he was somewhat of an outsider, so the sister-in-law had him entertained in the flower hall.

As she walked, Mrs. Xing looked around.

She hadn't been back to Sui'an City for three or four years, so she felt both familiar and unfamiliar with Dongyuan.

It seemed as if there was more vitality than before, so I said with a smile.

"It seems that the new gardener is good. Even the yard is tidied up differently than before."

After hearing her words, Du Jingyi looked at Mrs. Xing with a bit of insight, then replied with a smile.

"They are masters we invited from Suzhou, and we will arrange for them to take care of the general's mansion in the future."

"No wonder, the gardens are beautiful, and the ones in Suzhou are the most outstanding. The craftsmanship of the masters there is naturally not bad."

As they were talking, they arrived at the flower hall.

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

After sitting down, Du Jingyi asked Mother Cai to bring tea and cakes.

They had just eaten, so naturally they were not hungry.

It's just something indispensable for a family to chat about when they sit together.

Seeing that everyone was seated firmly, Xueniang finally couldn't help but ask.

"Sixth brother, what happened? When we were having dinner, we saw Madam Jiao rushing over. After a few words, Madam Wei's face fell. Then Fourth Sister-in-law followed Madam Jiao and didn't show up until Princess Yuehua left. This doesn't seem like something that they would do alone."

With a figure like Princess Yuehua supporting them, how could a shrewd person like Fourth Sister-in-law be willing to leave?

Even if he leaves, I think he will finish his work as quickly as possible and rush back to continue currying favor.

How could it be gone forever?

Hearing this, Shang Ji didn't even raise his eyebrows.

Instead, it was Xing Zhao who was standing next to him who explained excitedly.

"Wei Jiaheng sent Shang Zhihe a slingshot, and Prince Fu was accidentally hit on the leg when he entered the palace. He thought it was Shang Zhihe who did it, so he stepped forward and broke Shang Zhihe's leg."

"What?"

Xue Niang looked at Xing Zhao in disbelief, obviously unable to adapt to the news.

Du Jingyi was a little confused and asked a question.

"Is it really broken?"

"Um."

Shang Ji nodded in response, and Du Jingyi finally believed it.

Then she glanced at Xing Zhao with suspicion in her eyes.

Shang Ji raised the corner of his mouth. It turned out that his wife's mind was quicker.

He guessed 70% to 80% of the answer before he even opened his mouth.

Mrs. Xing also knew her son's character very well, so she glanced at him sideways with a lot of suspicion in her eyes, but she didn't say much.

Those present who understood understood, and those who didn’t understand naturally didn’t pay attention to it.

So Xueniang sighed.

"It's also his bad luck that he offended the Buddha, Prince Fu."

Calling him the Great Buddha is giving him face, otherwise, calling him Yaksha would be more accurate.

People didn't have much affection for Shang Zhiheke, so when they heard that his leg was broken, their first reaction was pain, and then nothing else.

The broken leg incident was ultimately Xiyuan’s trouble.

After they said a few words, they didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, Shang Ji looked at Madam Xing, seemed to be hopeful, but asked with a worried tone.

"Aunt, are grandma and aunts all right?"
