Chapter 48 Rushing Back

Based on this alone, and the fact that she delivered the medicine last night, Yingtao recognized this second uncle from the bottom of her heart.

In the past, it was because of one’s status, so one had to be respectful.

But after today, I am truly convinced.

So he nodded and spoke in a low voice.

"I smeared something on the silver, but it is difficult to explain it to the general right now. But please believe our young lady, we will handle this matter properly."

The reason why Cherry said this was that she wanted to use Shang Ji to secure the power of her young mistress in the rear house.

After all, the eldest lady's intentions were good, but if things continued like this, it might not be a good thing for the young lady.

Shang Ji was not stupid, so he naturally figured out something fishy, ​​and then he said to Luo Yuan.

"Go and ask Butler He and Madam Dou to come to the study. I have something to say to them."

"Yes, General."

Luo Yuan turned around and left Xitang Courtyard with a leisurely pace, leaving only Shang Ji and the maid Yingtao in the courtyard.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward.

Cherry had no intention of climbing up the social ladder, so she felt very uncomfortable being alone with the general.

Shang Ji also noticed her awkwardness, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and then he gave instructions.

"Take good care of the young lady. When she wakes up, send someone to the study to call me."

"Yes, General."

Afterwards, Shang Ji also left Xitang Courtyard, thought for a moment, and headed straight for Fuqiu Courtyard.

Although Yingtao didn't say some things explicitly, Shang Ji knew what they meant.

Thinking of his nephew Shang Zhiping, Shang Ji felt a little worried, fearing that Du Jingyi would become the next him.

Therefore, I had to make a special trip to my sister-in-law's yard and have a brief chat with her.

Cherry patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

It must be said that she has lived for more than ten years and has met many people by following her master, mistress and young lady.

But every time I see my own general, I still feel an unknown fear.

This kind of fear is not the kind of fear of being exposed after doing something wrong, but more of awe that comes from the heart.

This might be due to the hostility left in him after years of fighting on the battlefield.

Although I usually control myself, my emotions always come out unconsciously.

Especially when he was angry, Cherry felt that he was even scarier than the angry Vajra in the temple.

Turning around to look at the main room which was still quiet, Cherry continued to sit in the porch, embroidering her handkerchief.

In the Fuqiu Courtyard, sister-in-law Liu was teaching her son calligraphy.

Seeing Shang Ji walking in with big strides, he naturally knew why he came, so he said to Shang Zhiping.

"Ping'er, meet your sixth uncle."

"Hello, Uncle Six."

"Um."

Seeing Shang Zhiping was there, Shang Ji restrained his extroverted temper.

Although there was not much change in his expression, it was obvious that he was still very concerned about Shang Zhiping.

"Are you practicing calligraphy?"

"yes."

His tone had softened a lot, but Shang Zhiping still couldn't help feeling a little scared.

He lowered his head submissively, not daring to look directly into Shang Ji's eyes.

Seeing this, sister-in-law Liu's eyes flashed with a lot of heartache, so she sighed slightly and said patiently.

"Ping'er, please go out and rest for a while. I have something to say to your sixth uncle."

"Mother……"

Shang Zhiping's eyes seemed to show that he didn't want to leave, but he didn't know how to say it.

Sister-in-law Liu smiled slightly and said.

"Go ahead, it's okay."

Seeing this, Shang Zhiping nodded hesitantly, then lowered his head and left the main room.

Seeing him like this, Shang Ji felt like a disappointed iron man.

But when I think about what happened before, I am powerless to refute anything.

On the contrary, the eldest sister-in-law Liu didn't want her brother-in-law to keep staring at her son like this, so she changed the subject and asked.

"But now that you know that the fifth room is causing trouble, do you have any solution for your sister-in-law?"

"Um."

"Ah, it's my fault that I haven't talked to her about this properly. Besides, she's young and doesn't worry about anything, so she thinks things are simple. I'll take care of the third and fifth rooms in the future. You can also talk to her and ask her to pay more attention to the moving."

Sister-in-law Liu's words directly confirmed Shang Ji's guess.

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

Sure enough, this is what the maid Cherry meant.

So, after thinking about it, Shang Ji spoke frankly.

"Sister-in-law, I don't think Mrs. Du is a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied. Since she is confident in dealing with it this time, let her do it. If you keep protecting her like this, she won't grow up."

Although the words were spoken by Du Jingyi, sister-in-law Liu also heard them, and they also contained Shang Ji's concern for his nephew Shang Zhiping.

It’s easier to talk about other things, but I’ve already talked about this.

Suddenly, I touched the sore spot of my elder sister-in-law Liu.

His eyes instantly became sharp, and he stared at his brother-in-law Shang Ji and spoke in a somewhat unreasonable manner.

"What? Is it my Sixth Brother who is going to teach me how to be a man now?"

"Sister-in-law misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding? It's ridiculous. My sister-in-law didn't ask anything clearly and rushed to give the fifth room a hundred taels of silver. Seeing that the money is so easy to get, will those people let it go easily in the future? Dongyuan has finally enjoyed a few years of peace, is it going to be ruined in her hands like this?"

Sister-in-law Liu spoke quickly and sharply.

But her original intention was not to blame Du Jingyi, she just said it out of impulse.

Even after she said it, she still felt it was inappropriate.

But she has been gritting her teeth and getting through all these years, and she is unwilling to give up.

The look he showed towards Shang Ji was also full of vigilance and anger.

Shang Ji became angry when he saw this.

After all, he is a general who gives orders outside and cannot be controlled by the women in the backyard.

Moreover, if you look closely at this matter, it was caused by the elder sister-in-law Liu's excessive protection of her child, so Shang Ji was unwilling to give in.

He said with a cold tone and face.

"Sister-in-law, let me ask you, you know how to deal with the third and fifth wives, but what will be the result? Will everyone in Dongyuan stay here forever and never go out? Will everyone hide away and compromise? Will everyone rely on you to protect them?"

"you!"

Sister-in-law Liu was immediately furious when asked by Shang Ji.

"Okay, okay. What did your elder brother and mother-in-law say to you when they left? Now that you have become a great general praised by everyone, do you want to show off your power at home?"

"Sister-in-law! When have I ever been so arrogant at home? If I were really that kind of person, I would not allow you to teach Ping'er like this. Look at his appearance. If my brother were still alive, how sad would he be?"

When Shang Zhiping was young, he was very smart, cute and lively.

Everyone who saw him praised him as a good child given by God.

But what about now?

Even the servants in Wei Nuo's mansion were more generous than him, not to mention the grandchildren of Madam Wei next door.
