Chapter 121 Early Arrangement

Shang Ji is not stupid, so how could he not know what Madam Wei is thinking.

"Mrs. Wei has been coveting the position of Duke for a long time. It looks like she is going to use ruthless means to help Shang Silang take the position this time."

Only if Shang Silang becomes the future Duke, can Shang Zhihe successfully succeed the young Duke.

Otherwise, the four branches of Xiyuan would be ruined.

"The general has a keen eye."

But how could everything in this world go according to her mood? She wanted to help her son ascend to the throne, but the Duke's Mansion was something that she and her husband were determined to obtain and would leave to Ping'er in the future. How could she be allowed to succeed so easily?

So, Shang Ji looked at the chess board without any surprise, and then asked.

"She was planning to poison me?"

"It's been pretty quiet these past two days. I asked Mr. Liu to pay more attention to my father-in-law's diet and tea, but he didn't find anything wrong."

Du Jingyi shook his head, apparently dispelling this doubt.

"That means they want to make arrangements for the unexpected. It's the end of the year and winter. If something happens to father, we'll have to move. It's really a burden of filial piety."

"Yes, that's what I was thinking."

Shang Ji made a move and then said something.

"I will find a few people to secretly protect father. You don't have to worry about this place. On that auspicious day, if you can move forward, then move forward. I don't want to step into the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion for a day."

Hearing him say this, Du Jingyi smiled and said.

"General, don't worry. Didn't we agree to clean up the house for Ping'er so that he can take over in the future? Only the fifth wife left, and there are still three wives left."

"You want to deal with them?"

Shang Ji asked calmly without even raising his eyebrows.

Du Jingyi shook his head and then said.

"Since my father-in-law is going to have an accident, then our East Garden will naturally be in trouble. Otherwise, it would be a shame for Madam Wei's hard work in the next battle."

"So you mean to borrow the east wind?"

"Not only did he hurt Madam Wei, but he also took the opportunity to send the people from the third house away."

"How do you want me to cooperate?"

Du Jingyi hesitated and did not continue his words.

Shang Ji's chess piece didn't fall down. He looked up at Du Jingyi and understood.

"I will make arrangements with my father. He won't really die, but he will be fine if he suffers minor injuries."

This is exactly the effect Du Jingyi wanted. Otherwise, how could she deal with these people without bloodshed? However, he was her husband's father after all. If she spoke up, wouldn't it be inappropriate?

She also didn't want any conflict between the two of them because of this matter.

"Don't worry, General. Once everything is settled, Father-in-law will have some peace and quiet."

"Um."

Shang Ji is not really heartless and he does have some resentment towards his father.

She blamed him for being soft-hearted, sentimental and overly sentimental, which caused her mother to have a hard time in the backyard.

But that doesn't mean he was really cruel enough to watch his father die because of Madam Wei's scheme.

The two of them played chess for most of the night, and finally they were so sleepy that they settled down.

That night, the wind in Sui'an City was blowing so hard that it seemed to pull the entire earth into winter in an instant.

Sure enough, early the next morning, snow began to fall from the sky.

It's not big, but after it falls a little bit, you can still see it.

The snow fell early this year. In previous years, it would not fall until the winter months, but it came in late October.

This caught many farmers off guard.

We have to hurry and store the harvest in the cellar early, otherwise it will freeze outside and we will have a hard winter.

The farmers outside the city were busy, but there were fewer people on the streets in the city than yesterday.

Probably because it was the first snow, many people stayed at home and didn't want to go out.

Naturally, this also includes everyone in the Duke's Mansion.

In the main house of Xitang Courtyard in Dongyuan, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi slept in each other's arms.

In the quiet morning, no one would disturb near the main house.

The quilt on the bed was thicker, which was just right for Du Jingyi to cover herself with. But now that Shang Ji was back, she felt a little irritated by the heat.

I had a lot of dreams all night and didn't sleep well.

It was not until the sky was getting light that Du Jingyi fell into a deep sleep, so he could not be woken up even if he was called.

Shang Ji has developed a habit over the years that no matter when he falls asleep, he always wakes up at dawn.

So after opening his eyes, he stared at his wife carefully, and when he saw that she had no intention of waking up, he fell asleep again.

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

It was not until noon when Du Jingyi slowly woke up that he also "woke up".

Turning her head, she saw her husband's face and smiled.

She moved her body and wanted to get into his arms, but accidentally touched a place that she shouldn't have touched. She immediately turned her back to Shang Ji, not knowing what to say to get through this embarrassing situation quickly.

Instead, it was the embarrassing culprit Shang Liulang who laughed foolishly and deliberately whispered in her ear.

"Madam, don't feel shy. We'll have more opportunities to meet in the future."

It would have been better if he hadn't said this blunt explanation.

Du Jingyi was originally 70% embarrassed, but now he became 100% shy.

She had never noticed this before.

One reason was that Shang Ji went out early and came back late, and most of the time she was still asleep, and the person beside her had already left, leaving only some traces of tenderness.

Secondly, every time she woke up, she was just shy and quickly asked someone to come in and help them wash and dress.

So naturally it wasn't discovered.

This incident today scared her. She thought that the general was still in great form last night and would continue to be in great form today.

She was so embarrassed that her body turned red.

Shang Ji picked her up through the quilt.

Such a big movement naturally scared Du Jingyi, and he immediately spoke nervously.

"What's the General going to do?"

"Of course, I am helping Madam bathe and wash up."

"Don't mess around! If this news gets out, how can I live like this?"

Hearing this, Shang Ji smiled cunningly, and was less serious than usual.

It was more like a sweet couple doing something slightly out of the ordinary, and they were very calm.

"What are you afraid of? This yard is full of our people. If the news gets out, I'm afraid we'll have to search the whole yard again."

As he spoke, he carried her directly into the ear room.

The maid Cherry had heard the noise in the first place and had originally planned to arrange these things for her master before going to call her.

Who knew that the general would just carry the person here like this.

She was really shocked, ashamed and a little embarrassed.

Seeing that the master and servant were both more ruddy than each other, Shang Ji stopped joking with them. He put Du Jingyi on the chaise longue in the ear room and whispered something.

"I am clumsy and might hurt you, so let your maid serve you. I will go to the next room to wash up."
