Chapter 76 Trouble is coming
"That's what Grandma said."
Wulang's wife next to him also stretched her head and said when she saw this.
"With Seventh Sister's beauty and ability, she will definitely stand out in the Min Palace. Didn't the eldest sister rise to the top in the same way? Seventh Sister's blessings are definitely yet to come."
When she said this, others nodded in agreement.
However, Shang Yu'an's wife, Ni, felt a little regretful. She felt a little sad that such a good child had to use her beauty to please others.
But she couldn't decide the affairs of the fifth room.
Therefore, she didn't say much.
At this point, the people from the fifth house reached a consensus to send Shang Qinnan to Prince Min's palace.
But how to send it? That was another problem.
Shang Wulang thought about it and felt that he might have to find some connections to solve this matter.
Otherwise, with the connections of the fifth house, let alone entering Prince Min's Palace, it would be a problem whether they could even meet a second-class steward there.
The fifth old master was a person who liked to use others as knives, so he patted his chest and said to everyone.
"I'll go find Yu Kuan. After all, he's the Duke of the State, and also Qi Niang's uncle. If he comes forward, the Min Palace will surely give him some face."
As the saying goes, it is important for a person to know himself, and this fifth old man obviously lacks this the most.
He always thought that the Duke's Mansion was still as glorious as it was when his elder brother was around.
Little did he know that without the support of his nephew Shang Ji, who returned triumphantly from the imperial court, he would have long been reduced to a sideline.
The others thought about it and felt that there was indeed no one around them with a higher status than the Duke, so they all thought that this method was feasible.
Shang Qinnan has already accepted her fate. If she really were to marry into the prince's mansion, she would not want to continue to endure humiliation like she had done at home.
A clay figure can still have some temper, so she wants to give it a try.
In Yingjuan Courtyard, everyone was making plans for Shang Qinnan's future, showing unprecedented unity.
However, in the Xitang Courtyard of the East Garden, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi were sitting under the bright window, drinking tea and listening to two unfamiliar people talking.
It was as if he was reporting everything that had just happened in Yingjuan Courtyard.
Du Jingyi couldn't help but smile as he drank his tea.
"The fish is hooked."
Having said that, she was still very surprised that Shang Qinnan, who was about to be thrown into the fire pit by her family, did not resist at all.
If her family wanted to force her to be a concubine of an old man for power and money, then the Du family would have no chance of survival.
She will definitely burn it to ashes.
It's really sad and lamentable.
He was even more disdainful of those people in the fifth room.
But no matter how pitiful she is, this pity was not caused by her, so she will not stop.
This is nothing. The best is yet to come.
She thought so, and her husband Shang Ji was almost certain about it, so he said to the two phantom-like subordinates.
"Keep an eye on it, and report back if there's anything important."
"I understand!"
Then he jumped out of the window and left, leaving so cleanly and quickly, as if a gust of wind had blown past, leaving no trace at all.
"The Fifth House is greedy by nature. For the sake of money, they don't care about Qi Niang's future at all. I don't think you need to do anything. With the Fifth Uncle here, Yunjin Courtyard will definitely be in turmoil."
Shang Ji took a cup of tea and took a sip carefully. The taste was in no way inferior to the tea in the palace.
There was a faint smile between his eyebrows, and when he looked at his wife, there was even more fondness. He was indeed domineering.
But what made him feel more at ease at the moment was that Madam Wei was going to suffer a setback. If the Fifth House wanted to get a piece of the pie from Prince Min's Mansion, it would be strange if it didn't turn Yunjin Courtyard upside down.
"House Five is easy to deal with. They are all brainless people, and they are poisoned. I think they are not that bad. But House Three is more troublesome. There are both charging and defending people, and they cooperate well."
The attackers that Du Jingyi mentioned were naturally the third old lady and Erlang's wife, Guan.
The two of them were much more powerful in talking, and Du Jingyi had already experienced this.
Instead, Du Jingyi was more wary of Sanlang's wife, who had remained silent behind the scenes, and Shang Liuniang, who had married out.
Either they are like Si Niang, who allows herself to be bullied, or they are like the barking dog that bites.
Therefore, Du Jingyi was more wary of these two people.
After hearing what she said, Shang Ji nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement.
He did not grow up in the Duke's Mansion, so he knew these relatives but not much.
As Du Jingyi said, a family of fools always needs a smart one to take the helm.
Therefore, it cannot be underestimated.
After saying this, Du Jingyi fell silent. Shang Ji now had a sense of his wife's temperament.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As long as she makes such a move, she is most likely planning something.
"Trouble is coming. Have you figured out how to deal with it?"
"Of course, relatives of the same family should help out. Otherwise, how can we see them climb high and fall hard?"
When Du Jingyi said this, there was a cunning look in his eyes.
For a moment, Shang Ji felt that he did not marry a wife, but a fox, who just didn't like to move on weekdays.
Seeing that she was prepared, Shang Ji's worries were suppressed.
"I will be back to the barracks to train tomorrow. If they can't find me, they will naturally come to bother you. I will leave a team of guards and spies with you. If there is anything important, let Liu Xun deliver the letter."
After two snaps, a black shadow flashed in.
Kneeling on one knee respectfully, showing absolute loyalty.
He is the Liu Xun mentioned by Shang Ji, and his identity is the chief spy in the Cezhou army.
In the past, he was mostly responsible for arranging spies for the enemy country, the Jin Dynasty. Now that he has followed Shang Ji back to Sui'an City, there is not much to do.
So he was ordered to stay here to protect Du Jingyi.
Although Du Jingyi had never seen the appearance of this chief spy, he could tell from the hidden aura that he was a very capable person, so he smiled and said.
"Mr. Liu is here to help me deal with my household affairs. This is really a waste of his talent."
"Young Madam, you are so kind. I will do my best."
At this moment, Liu Xun's impression of Du Jingyi was only that she was the general's wife.
Therefore, he did whatever the general ordered.
Du Jingyi also understood, so he didn't say anything else. He just treated the "subordinates" who he couldn't control with courtesy.
Now that the two of them had met and recognized each other's faces, Shang Ji felt much more relieved.
"Go ahead."
"yes."
After saying this, Liu Xun dodged and disappeared.
Soon, a voice came to Du Jingyi's ears, deep and magnetic.
"Liu Xun's martial arts are not bad. I remember that there is a maidservant beside you who is also quite strong, but I'm afraid she is not strong enough to protect you. When she is free, let her learn some more martial arts from Liu Xun."
"Kung Fu? General, are you talking about Lizhu?"
"Um."
