Chapter 54 Night Talk (First update)

Although she is not the kind of person who likes to hold power in her hands, there cannot be two tigers in one mountain, and there cannot be two mistresses in one house.

In Dongyuan, she would naturally obey the orders of her elder sister-in-law Liu.

But if she went to the general's mansion, she, as the general's wife, could no longer be as idle as before.

Otherwise, if a concubine is sent here today and a concubine's child is born tomorrow, if she cannot manage the household chores, I am afraid that she will find it difficult to win the support of the people and manage the harem in the future.

Therefore, she will not let go easily.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was probably related to what she did with the fifth room this morning.

So, I decided to confront my husband and sister-in-law first. They will know the truth sooner or later anyway.

If Dongyuan itself fell out because of their family, it would be a loss.

As I was thinking, the moonlight gradually rose higher.

The lights in the entire Duke's Mansion were gradually lit, revealing a hint of calm.

After Shang Ji came back at full speed from outside, he saw a servant from the East Garden at the door.

Seeing that he was looking out, he dismounted and asked.

"But are you waiting for this general?"

"Well, General, the young lady said she had something to discuss with you, so please go as soon as you get back."

Du Jingyi has something important to discuss?

For a moment, Shang Ji really didn't know what her important matter was.

But he still threw the whip to Luo Yuan and gave the order.

"Wait, I'll be out in a moment."

"yes."

His military duties have not been completed yet, and the Tiger Guards have resumed their previous training.

As the head coach, he naturally has to visit more often, so he can't necessarily stay at home every day.

If he moved to the general's mansion, he might want to stay for a while.

But this Duke's Mansion, huh, he just doesn't bother to treat it.

Although I thought so in my heart, my pace quickened a lot.

In one day, he had rushed to Xitangyuan three times.

The scenery I see is different every time, and I feel like time is passing by.

Seeing him coming in a hurry, Butler He, who had been guarding the gate of East Garden, hurried forward and said with a serious expression.

"General, the quarrel between you and the eldest young lady during the day has been known by the young lady."

Hearing this, Shang Ji's quick pace suddenly paused, and then he asked in a somewhat unhappy tone.

"Who spread it?"

"Master Ping'er was crying so hard, and most of the people in Fuqiu Courtyard knew about it, so it must have been leaked accidentally during the conversation, and happened to be known by the people around the young lady."

"You are so talkative. Can they also make up stories about the master's family at will?"

There was a hint of anger in Shang Ji's tone, which showed that he was not happy.

Butler He was also sweating profusely and immediately reported back.

"General, rest assured. I have dealt with those people. They will never dare to spread the news again!"

Shang Ji nodded. He had always been strict in disciplining his army, so he felt that the same should apply to his family.

She strode towards Xitang Courtyard, and soon saw the light on in the house, casting a graceful shadow on the bright window.

Thin, but not lonely.

In the past, he had never thought that when he returned from walking on the moon, there would be someone waiting for him like this.

So, the moment I saw it, the string in my heart that had been taut like that loosened a lot.

"Uncle He, you go down first."

"yes."

After seeing him turn and leave, Shang Ji walked in.

Li Zhu, who was standing inside the door, immediately asked, "Who?"

Then he saw Shang Ji and immediately bowed respectfully and said.

"This servant greets the general."

Her voice made Du Jingyi, who was originally a little sleepy, suddenly perk up.

He quickly got off the kang, put on his shoes, and prepared to go out to greet her.

Shang Ji's steps were also quick, and he entered the inner room before her.

The two of them suddenly looked at each other, and Du Jingyi was a little stunned.

It was the maid Cherry who performed the greeting first, and then she came to her senses and followed suit.

"Is the General back?"

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

"Um."

Yingtao and Lizhu knew that the couple had something to say, so they left tactfully after serving tea.

Inside the room, the two of them sat opposite each other on the kang, their faces somewhat solemn.

Du Jingyi didn't hide anything and started talking.

"General, please forgive me for being so nosy, but did you have an argument with your sister-in-law during the day?"

Shang Ji looked up at her, picked up the tea beside him and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he sighed and nodded.

"Why is that?"

Although Du Jingyi had some guesses in his mind, he was still not sure.

It would be best if she could get the answer from her husband so that she could think of a way to deal with it.

"People from the fifth room came to cause trouble, and my sister-in-law sent someone to tell me about it, but when I came back, you had already dealt with it. I wanted to comfort my sister-in-law, but I got excited and hurt her feelings. I was wrong."

Although Shang Ji is tough, he is not a stubborn person.

He did not agree with some of his sister-in-law's practices.

But that doesn't mean he can ignore his sister-in-law's efforts over the years and keep holding on to the jealousy in her heart.

In fact, he knew very well what his sister-in-law was really thinking.

However, having seen the evil nature of human beings, he could understand just a little bit of selfishness.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi also understood and spoke solemnly.

"I have been married into the Duke's Mansion for more than three years, but I have only been with the general for a few days. Even so, I know the general's intention to protect the people in Dongyuan. My sister-in-law entered the palace many years earlier than me. If I can understand the principles, she will naturally understand them even more."

"I feel this way today because of me. I should have discussed the matter of the fifth house with my sister-in-law before making a decision, but the situation was urgent and I couldn't afford to hesitate. My Du family is also surrounded by a bunch of shabby relatives, so we naturally know the feeling of being possessed by someone and sucking blood."

She spoke every word seriously, which was both an explanation to Shang Ji and a revelation of her own family affairs.

We have to live our whole lives together, and there is no point in covering up some family scandals. It is better to lay them out in the open.

"I have seen many cases of snakes that turn around and hurt people since I was a child, so I didn't leave any chance for the people in the fifth room to survive. It's just that my sister-in-law was too anxious at the time, so I didn't explain it clearly, which led to the quarrel between the general and my sister-in-law. It was my negligence. I will go to my sister-in-law tomorrow to explain the matter clearly."

Afterwards, Du Jingyi told Shang Ji the plan in detail.

At first, Shang Ji didn't quite understand, but the more he listened, the more he thought this method was a good one.

At least I helped them get rid of five houses, so there is no problem.

It's just that his face is usually so indifferent that you rarely see any other expressions.

Du Jingyi thought that her method was too harsh and made her husband unhappy.
