Chapter 172 Being Collided

This is how she always scolds people, and she hates Shang Yukuan and Madam Wei so much that her teeth are itching.

She had originally planned to come over to pay her respects to Old Madam Gu today, but unexpectedly she ran into Shang Yukuan and Madam Wei leaving, so she came in to ask.

You wouldn’t know unless you ask, but they are actually good at calculating.

"Can they think of using the General's Mansion to save the Duke's Mansion?"

Old Madam Gu remained calm. Seeing Madam Xing getting more and more angry, she smiled and asked Nanny Qin to bring her a cup of tea.

"Calm down. It's not worth getting angry over someone like that early in the morning."

If it weren't for Shang Zhiping and the others, Madam Gu would have drawn a clear line between herself and the Shang family long ago.

To put it bluntly, the reason why I can still hold my temper now is that I have some "purpose".

Shang Yukuan is not a presentable person, but the position of Duke should belong to whoever it belongs to, even though Shang Ji has earned a bright future on his own.

It also does not affect his succession to the position of Duke.

Only in this way can the children born to Mrs. Gu have someone to rely on in the future.

Old Madam Gu also understood this very clearly.

However, Wei's visit really disgusted Old Madam Gu, so she didn't plan to sit idle.

So he gave instructions to Nanny Qin.

"Go tell Shao Yu that I was frightened by the Duke and Madam Wei early in the morning and am now seriously ill. If they still want to live a quiet life, they should stay out of my sight. Otherwise, if something happens, Shang Yukuan will not be able to bear it."

"Yes, ma'am."

After receiving the order, Nanny Qin naturally rushed to Xitang Courtyard.

Mrs. Xing, on the other hand, looked very happy.

"Mrs. Wei originally wanted to use filial piety to keep them from leaving. Now let them experience what filial piety means."

Hearing this, Madam Gu smiled faintly.

In Xitang Courtyard, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi were having dinner when they heard Nanny Qin asking for a meeting.

This made the couple a little confused, but they still asked someone to invite her in.

Nanny Qin was also an eloquent person, and she quickly told everything that happened in the morning and what Madam Gu had said.

"That's the thing. The old lady means that she will never let anyone from the Wei family enter the general's mansion."

After hearing this, Shang Ji's eyes were so cold that they could freeze someone to death.

He knew his father's character well. If it weren't for Mrs. Wei's instigation, he would definitely not have come to visit him.

Du Jingyi thought about it and said to Nanny Qin.

"Grandmother is very considerate. Since he was frightened and pouted, she would naturally invite a few famous doctors to take a look, especially Doctor Wang in the palace. No one dares to comment on the illnesses he has seen before."

After learning about the past between Empress Guo and the Gu family, Du Jingyi understood that no matter when and where, Empress Guo would always side with the Gu family.

And if Madam Gu is in trouble, she will definitely help.

Sure enough, after hearing her words, Shang Ji immediately called Luo Yuan in and started giving instructions.

"Prepare the horses. I need to go to the palace and ask Doctor Wang to come and treat grandma!"

"Yes! General!"

We are all smart people, no one is stupider than anyone else.

Shang Ji went to pick up Old Madam Gu with great fanfare this time, so he went to the palace to beg the emperor for grace to ask Doctor Wang to treat Old Madam Gu.

Therefore, before Madam Gu appeared in front of everyone, her reputation had already spread far and wide. Everyone was wondering if it was because Madam Gu was old and was exhausted from the long journey that this happened.

But before long, the news of the Duke and Madam Wei's visit spread like wildfire.

The most troublesome thing was that as soon as they left, Old Madam Gu fell ill.

Adding to the romantic affairs of the Gu and Wei families and the burning of Dongyuan a few days ago, many people began to spread the news.

Some said that Shang Yukuan came to show off his power, some said that Madam Wei deliberately went to disgust Madam Gu, and some said that the two went to force Shang Ji and his wife, and that Madam Gu fell ill to protect her grandson and granddaughter-in-law.

All in all, all kinds of rumors made the already fragile reputation of the Duke's Mansion even worse.

The Wei family and Prince Fu's Mansion were also included.

While Madam Wei was outside anxiously putting out the fire and clarifying the facts, Du Jingyi was leisurely and took Madam Gu, her two aunts, and her eldest aunt's sister-in-law to enjoy the view of the snow piles in the back mountain.

If it were in previous years, I’m afraid it wouldn’t have been possible to pile it up.

But this year in Sui'an City, the snow fell heavily, so several masters from the north also had their place to use their skills.

Both molds and carving are used.

The galloping horses, the lifelike eagles with spread wings, and various flower shapes all look real from a distance.

Everyone was dazzled and amazed by what they saw.

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

"I never expected this, I really never expected this, I thought Snow Soft couldn't be made into anything, but I didn't expect it could be piled into so many shapes, the craftsmanship of the masters is really amazing!"

The one who spoke was my fourth aunt, who always spoke her mind.

She says whatever she thinks and never hides anything, so if she says something is good, it means she really thinks it is good and that is why she is praising it so highly.

Mrs. Gu also thought it was good.

It was the same cold winter. When they were in Cezhou, they felt that life was hard to endure.

Looking back now, I feel that winter also has its own charm.

Then he said to Du Jingyi.

"You are really smart. You can think of such a method. It can really broaden the horizons of these country bumpkins in Sui'an City."

She spoke and everyone laughed.

In fact, this is true. The nobles in Sui'an City seem to have more valuable status than anyone else.

But if you really think about it, I may not have much knowledge.

I stayed in Sui'an City every day, and all I saw were those things.

"I think what my aunt said is right. Not to mention others, I also feel like a bumpkin after seeing it."

Mrs. Xing said jokingly to herself.

Du Jingyi behaved very humbly at this moment, and explained to Madam Gu and others.

"It's just some folk entertainment in the north, just to amuse people and relieve boredom. It's not worthy of being in a formal place."

"Don't be so modest. Good is good, bad is bad. Your fourth aunt never tells lies."

After hearing what his fourth aunt said, Du Jingyi said nothing more.

Instead, he spoke to his third aunt.

"It's a pity that cousin Lang is still ill, otherwise the ice rabbit sculpture there would be very beautiful. I heard that she was born in the year of the rabbit, so I asked the craftsmen to make one for her."

Everyone turned around and saw that it was indeed lifelike.

There seemed to be grass on the ground for it to eat! My third aunt looked a little embarrassed, but she quickly covered it up.

"It's okay. It will be the same in two days."

Du Jingyi smiled and nodded, agreeing to this.
