Sanlang's wife's words made Du Jingyi realize that Qi Niang would probably "die of illness" soon. This winter came so suddenly and quickly, the weather hadn't changed that much yet, but people's hearts had already become extremely cold.

She didn't say anything, and Sanlang's wife didn't say anything either.

I thought she was sad about her second aunt, so I comforted her.

"Young Madam, please don't worry too much. It's better for Second Aunt to be dead than to live like that. No one can endure decades of torture. Second Uncle is so cruel, God will punish him."

This Shang Yuding is really not a good person.

His wife and daughter were never taken care of and were only treated with violence. Living in such a den of evil, Guo really had no desire to live anymore.

However, Du Jingyi was not sure whether Shang Qinnan would feel guilty when she thought about the wealth she had obtained at the cost of her mother's life.

At the moment, he could only sigh and say to Sanlang's wife.

"Well, who said it wasn't true? We were supposed to leave at the end of the month, but now so many things have happened before we even set foot outside of Sui'an City. It really makes me feel uneasy."

"Young Madam, you are overthinking. You are here to do serious business, so you will have a smooth journey."

"Then I'll borrow the good words from my third sister-in-law."

After the two talked about their son for a while, Sanlang's wife noticed that Du Jingyi was tired, so she got up and said goodbye. When she left, she also took away some things that Du Jingyi had prepared for her.

They were not valuable items, just some pieces of satin and fur, but they made Sanlang's wife very happy. Didn't such an exchange mean that he valued her?

If she could gain Du Jingyi's attention, her husband would probably have a smoother time in the court in the future. After all, who would go against the General's Mansion?

She took this very seriously, so she made up her mind to carefully serve Du Jingyi, this "living ancestor".

Not long after Sanlang's wife left, Lizhu came.

Compared to her previous cuteness, she is now more calm and steady. After all, she is in charge of a team, so naturally she has to be more serious in order to intimidate her subordinates.

Du Jingyi and Yingtao were happy to see her coming, so they asked.

"Shouldn't you be with your fourth aunt in the training ground at this time? Why are you here?"

Lizhu smiled and then said.

"The Fourth Madam gave me a half-day off, and asked me to accompany the Young Madam. She noticed that you haven't smiled much these days, so she asked me to make you laugh."

Her words made Du Jingyi laugh heartily, and Cherry next to her also covered her mouth and laughed secretly. She nodded her head gently and said.

"You, no matter how serious and powerful you are outside, you are still the same Lizhu in front of our young lady. That's great!"

After hearing this, Lizhu took Yingtao's hand and said coquettishly.

"My dear sister, you are right. No matter how successful I become in the future, I will still be the most beautiful girl in our courtyard!"

"Oh, little girl, have you grown up now? Are you thinking about making a fortune?"

Du Jingyi said this jokingly, and Li Zhu replied with a grin.

"Isn't this all thanks to you, old man?"

Her reply reminded Du Jingyi of many things that happened when they were still in the Du family, so she laughed too. Just as the fourth aunt thought, Lizhu's appearance really made Du Jingyi happy.

A rain on October 19th completely plunged Sui'an City into winter.

It was freezing cold outside, people were hurrying, changing from autumn clothes to winter clothes, and gradually putting on cotton-padded jackets, but the inner room of the Du family's Mingse Courtyard was unusually warm.

Du Jingyi brought Tai Ge'er back to her parents' home, specifically to celebrate Mr. Du's birthday.

"In two days, the general will be back. We will then go south to Jinling City. We estimate that we will not be able to return until February or March next year. Dad and mom must take good care of their health and wait for us to come back and reunite."

Mr. Du was filled with emotion, and always felt a sense of inexplicable loss when his daughters were not around. However, in order to let her go happily on the road, he would not show his inner thoughts, so he smiled and said.

"Just go without worry. Your mother and I are in good health. We will live to be ninety-nine, so you and your sister can take good care of us, right?"

"That's right. There's no need to be sad. It's only a matter of half a year. It's okay."

After hearing this, Du Jingyi nodded, and then held his mother's hand and said.

"When we leave, only the eldest sister-in-law and the eighth sister will be in the general's mansion. Mother knows their personalities. They always swallow their anger even when they are bullied. I hope you can come to the mansion to see them from time to time."

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

Mrs. Du took Du Jingyi's words to heart. As they were all family, they should take care of each other, so she said with a smile.

"Got it. If there's anything I can't do for my mother, I'll go and bother the Guo family."

These words made Du Jingyi smile, his eyes full of trust in his mother.

Tai Ge'er is half a year old now, and he will be almost one year old when he comes back. Mrs. Du is reluctant to let her grandson leave for so long, but there is nothing she can do. She can only take him in her arms and say.

"Don't forget your grandparents, okay? When our brother Tai comes back, they will definitely go to pick him up!"

Tai Ge'er seemed to understand the situation and started to chuckle, revealing two little white teeth, which surprised Mrs. Du.

"Teething?"

"In just these two days, his teeth have started to grow out. By the time we come back, there might be seven or eight of them."

"It's good that the teeth come out early, but your complementary food should also keep up, so that our brother Tai'er's teeth can grow well."

"They say generations apart are close, and I see it's actually true now. Look, mother doesn't even care about me anymore, her daughter. She only cares about you, her grandson!"

Du Jingyi pretended to be jealous, but unfortunately Mrs. Du didn't buy it. She smiled and teased Tai Ge'er and replied to her.

"I just want to make you nervous. Besides, our brother Tai is so lovable, so we should love him more, right?"

After Mrs. Du finished speaking, she kissed him affectionately. Tai Ge'er, who had been kissed since he was a child, did not resist at all, and even clapped his hands, with an expression of satisfaction, which made Mrs. Du feel happy.

Mr. Du reached out and touched Du Jingyi's hair, then said with relief.

"No matter when, you are always the little cotton-padded jacket in daddy's heart, so don't be jealous. If the little cotton-padded jacket leaks air later, it won't be warm anymore, hahahaha..."
