Chapter 181: Bickering

"We are all family, don't make things difficult for each other. If we don't go in now, the feast will get cold. Let's go, I haven't tasted the wine in the General's Mansion yet. Please have someone bring two bowls up so I can drink first as a sign of respect."

The one who was speaking was Prince De, an old man who loved to knead paste.

It's a pity that Shang Ji couldn't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes, and immediately spoke to everyone.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived and is talking to my grandmother. He also mentioned that when she recovers from her illness, he will go to the palace to pay respects to the Empress. This is the Emperor's grace, and we cannot disobey."

"But since Princess Fu insists on forcing her way in, then as a subject I have no choice but to obey. However, if you two cause any trouble by forcing your way in, don't blame me for not giving you a proper warning."

After saying this, Shang Ji stopped resisting and made way behind him.

He acted as if to say, "It doesn't matter, go ahead," but this made Princess Fu very embarrassed.

Naturally, she wanted to bring her seventh brother into the mansion, but now Shang Ji's words were so obvious.

After entering, no matter whether Mrs. Gu was really sick or just pretending to faint.

Whenever she felt uncomfortable, it must be because she was frightened by the two of them.

There were rumors outside about how her parents were forcing Madam Gu. If they started to make a fuss in front of so many people, wouldn't it be more confirmed? Thinking of this, she was in a dilemma.

Instead, Prince De said with a little surprise.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived? Doesn't that mean we are late?"

After saying this, he decided not to get involved in the family affairs of the Duke's Mansion and walked inside with his family.

Seeing him leaving in a hurry, the people from Prince Min's Palace and Prince Yin's Palace followed him into the palace as if it had nothing to do with them.

Princess Yuehua did see the look of Princess Fu seeking help, but if this matter only happened within the merchant class, she could still say a few more words.

But now Shang Ji brought up the prince, and she was not bored and had no intention of going against the future emperor, so she smiled and said.

"General Shang, is the Crown Princess here too?"

"Replying to Princess, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess are both in the front hall."

"This princess hasn't seen the Crown Princess for a while, and I miss her very much, so let's go in and take a look first."

After saying that, she lifted her skirt and walked inside.

As for the difficult situation of Princess Fu, she was powerless and could not help.

Seeing this, Princess Fu became even more furious.

The reason why she chose to enter the mansion when so many people came together was because she planned to prevent Shang Ji from interfering too much.

There are so many royal relatives, it would be bad to just sit there and watch the jokes on their family affairs.

Who knew Shang Ji was such a stubborn person, first suppressing her and then praising her, which made her lose confidence.

If he really wants to go in at this moment, Shang Qillang will definitely be able to get in.

But the result after entering is hard to predict, whether it will be good or bad.

Madam Wei and Princess Fu wanted Shang Qilang to make friends with the powerful, but if he offended the Crown Prince this time, he would end up losing more than he gained.

Therefore, Princess Fu was also worried, and then she looked at her husband.

They are all old people who perform in the back house, and tears come easily.

She was so charming that Prince Fu softened his heart without even saying a word.

He said to Shang Ji in a slightly flattering manner.

"General Shang, why don't you just relax? How could a person like Madam Gu bother with a junior? Besides, the one who came today is Qi Lang. He has always admired and missed you very much, and he has never had any conflicts with Dong Yuan at home."

These words were spoken sincerely.

It’s a pity that if Shang Ji is a soft-hearted person, all those years of experience in the army will be in vain.

So he said without changing his expression.

"Prince Fu is joking. I have already given way to you. It all depends on the wishes of Princess Fu and Shang Qilang whether to advance or retreat. If he wants to advance, just go ahead. I will never stop him."

After hearing this, Princess Fu glared at Shang Ji fiercely and said.

"Do you have to do it this way?"

"I'm not as good as Prince Fu. I heard that Shang Zhihe will have to walk with a limp for the rest of his life, right?"

Shang Ji knew where the knife would hurt the most.

Therefore, when these words were spoken, Prince Fu and Princess Fu's faces turned unhappy.

Shang Qillang watched his eldest sister and sixth brother arguing with each other, and he felt uncomfortable.

Originally, he had no plan to enter the general's mansion today. The reason he followed along was entirely because he was "tricked" by Princess Fu and his mother, Madam Wei.

So, not wanting to make a big deal out of it, he spoke quickly.

"Eldest sister, don't worry about me. Today is a big wedding day in Sixth Brother's house. Since Father and Mother are not coming to join in the fun, I will go back to honor them. You don't have to make it difficult. Sixth Brother, I'm leaving now."

After he said this, he bowed, clasped his fists in salute, then turned and left.

The departure was clean and decisive, without any delay.

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

But the more this happened, the more Princess Fu became angry and started to speak.

"Is General Shang satisfied?"

"Princess Fu is joking. I made way for him, but he left on his own. What does this have to do with me? If he is really that stubborn person, why doesn't he dare to come in? It's just a matter of weighing the pros and cons."

"you!"

This time, Princess Fu really understood why her mother suffered repeated failures at home.

In the past, Shang Ji always refused to talk much to them.

How come everyone has changed after coming back this time?

Not only does he have a tough attitude, but his words are also as sharp as a knife, forcing people to step forward and unable to retreat, like being roasted on the fire.

Afterwards, Shang Ji was too lazy to argue any more with Princess Fu, so he spoke to Prince Fu.

"Your Majesty, please."

Although Prince Fu is a prince, he is still no match for Shang Ji in terms of power and ability, so he still has to be polite and show his affection.

He pretended nothing had happened and replied with a smile.

"General Shang, please."

The two entered the mansion. Princess Fu was extremely unhappy but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't just sit there at the gate and not go in.

I’m afraid that after the banquet is over, those rumors will reappear.

So, after taking a few deep breaths, with anger and provocation in his eyes, he finally entered the general's mansion.

Only after she went in did Shang Zhiping pat his chest and say.

"I haven't seen this aunt for a long time. It's really... really..."

"What is it really?"

Xing Zhao asked curiously.

"It's really scary."

"So my ancestors were not lying to me. It makes sense that appearance is determined by the heart."

Xing Zhao didn't use a single curse word when he cursed, but his meaning was clear enough.

He Shilin's identity and status did not allow him to participate in the discussion of this topic, so he could only keep his mouth shut and pretend he didn't hear it.

"Come on, let's go in too. Maybe Great Grandmother will have another show to perform. It would be a pity if we missed it."
