Chapter 180: Meeting the Family (extra update with Xiaoxiang tickets)

Du Jingyi and Madam Du are so sharp-eyed, how could they not see the change in the situation on the field.

The mother and daughter looked at each other. They looked down on these people who fawned on the powerful, but they had no choice but to compromise.

Mrs. Du sighed deeply in her heart. Fortunately, she only had two daughters, and now they both had good homes, so she didn't have to worry anymore.

But as a mother herself, she also had a lot of understanding for her third aunt and eldest sister-in-law Liu.

Who doesn't want their daughter to marry a man of their dreams? But for a family that curries favor with the powerful, no matter how high their status or how prominent their family is, it is probably not a good marriage.

Nowadays, the country is peaceful and harmonious, and flowers are everywhere, so naturally people are being coaxed and loved with kind words.

In the future, if the Gu family or Shang Ji got into trouble, wouldn't they be bullied to death by their in-laws? What they could see, the third aunt and the eldest sister-in-law Liu could also see.

So, towards the ladies who suddenly appeared around him at this moment, they all had smiles that did not reach their eyes.

Old Madam Gu could also see what was going on, so she raised her hand and beckoned Gu Xiaolang and Xue Niang to come forward.

One is her granddaughter and the other is her granddaughter-in-law.

The palm and back of my hand hurt equally.

So he started by speaking to Mrs. Guo.

"Xue Niang hasn't reached the age of marriage yet, so I'd like to shamelessly invite you to be the main guest, is that okay?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Guo quickly replied with a smile.

"This is a good thing. I would have come even if you hadn't asked me to. Xue Niang's child looks 70% like Yun He. Every time I see her, I think of how Yun He looked when she was a 15-year-old. What a spirited and good child."

"It's a pity that beauty is envied by heaven, and someone else took advantage of her. Now the cuckoo has taken over the magpie's nest, and I don't know if he still thinks she is the original wife."

What I said before is just to pave the way for the following sentence.

Although Mrs. Guo lives a secluded life and has not been willing to go out for banquets for many years.

But it must be said that as long as she shows up, she will be the one who has the final say among the noble circle in Sui'an City.

With her and Old Madam Gu working together to flatter Madam Wei, other ladies would have to consider whether they would offend these two if they wanted to visit the Duke's Mansion again in the future.

Seeing this, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess drank their tea in silence without saying much.

Obviously, the attitude of the two old ladies was silent support.

The drama in the front hall had just begun when this troublemaker appeared.

Butler He came hurriedly and said to Shang Ji.

"General, several princes and princesses have also arrived."

The princes and princesses that Butler He mentioned were naturally Prince Fu, Prince Yin, Prince Min, Prince De and Princess Yuehua.

In terms of seniority, Prince Min and Prince De are the uncles of the current Majesty, and naturally belong to the same generation as the royal uncles.

It's just that although he enjoys endless wealth and glory, he does not necessarily have much real power.

Prince Fu and Princess Yuehua are brothers and sisters of the current Majesty from the same mother, so they are the ones with real status among all the royal relatives.

It is the Prince Yin who is the half-brother of the current emperor.

Although he was also crowned a king, his fiefdom and the salary and allowance were not as great as those of Prince Fu and Princess Yuehua.

Therefore, he was considered a transparent person in the court on weekdays.

But every time there is such a banquet, we still have to invite him to Prince Yin’s mansion, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

"Let's go, I'll go meet him."

"Yes, General."

After saying this, Shang Ji took Shang Zhiping, Xing Zhao and He Shilin to meet him.

In terms of closeness, this kind of occasion should be that Shang Ji's brothers are accompanying him.

But now, these people are not even qualified to come, let alone accompany us.

Therefore, when Shang Ji walked to the door and met Shang Qilang accompanying Princess Fu, his face became much gloomier.

However, he always behaved like this in front of outsiders, so not many people noticed the change in his expression.

But he was an outsider. How could the family members not know about the conflict between Madam Gu and Madam Wei? So they brought him here openly. The Princess Fu is really capable.

So Shang Ji stepped forward and greeted the princes and paid his respects.

But when he saw Prince Fu, he spoke in a low voice.

"I remember that the invitation from the General's Mansion was sent to Prince Fu's Mansion. How could an unrelated person come?"

This irrelevant sentence made Princess Fu and Shang Qilang feel a little embarrassed.

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

They knew that the two sides were not on good terms, but they did not expect that Shang Ji would embarrass them in front of so many people, so they were somewhat annoyed.

The Princess of Fu was Madam Wei's eldest daughter, so naturally she would protect her younger brother and argue with Shang Ji.

So, he said with a look of dissatisfaction.

"Sixth brother, have you become so powerful that you don't even recognize your brothers and sisters? What do you mean by irrelevant people? Isn't Qilang our brother? How can he be irrelevant?"

"Princess Fu, please be careful with your words. My mother's surname is Gu. She gave birth to my eldest brother, my eighth sister, and me, but I have never heard of a seventh brother. A few days ago, my father and Madam Wei came to our house and pissed off my grandmother once. Are they planning to do the same thing again to piss her off a second time?"

"You! Do you really want to make this situation so embarrassing?"

Shang Ji didn't say anything else, but he blocked the door and prevented them from entering. His attitude was even more intense than his words.

Princess Fu had already been humiliated today, so naturally she was unwilling to give in.

He said to Shang Ji with a cold face.

"Since the invitation has been sent to Prince Fu's Mansion, then we have the final say on who comes. My brother from my mother's family happens to be a guest at the mansion, so it's not surprising that he comes as well. If General Shang is not willing to host, there is no need to send the invitation to Prince Fu's Mansion, so as to avoid people misunderstanding you and thinking that you are sincerely inviting us to this housewarming wedding!"

Seeing that the situation was getting a little awkward, Princess Yuehua spoke in a roundabout way, which was unusual for her.

"Calm down, everyone. We are here to visit, not to cause trouble. Why make such a fuss? Besides, we are business people. Even if we break bones, we are still connected. Even if it is just a temporary disagreement, we should not be so tense. Isn't this a joke for the people?"

After saying this, Princess Fu took a deep breath, and when she saw the people below looking around and talking, she had to hold back her anger no matter how angry she was.

Continue to speak kindly.

"Princess, that's right. I mean the same thing. I think my sixth brother just came home, and the killing outside hasn't subsided yet. But aren't swords meant for enemies? Why kill even brothers and sisters?"

Her words were persuasion on the surface but scolding in secret.

The purpose is nothing more than to spread the image of Shang Ji as a ruthless person.

Anyway, she and Madam Wei are birds of a feather, and what they are best at is confusing right and wrong.

So after she finished saying this, King Min and King De also came forward to persuade her.

Well, sisters are really fast!

Tomorrow's 1200 Xiaoxiang tickets will be added, and they are given away~~~
