Chapter 77: The Way of Conduct (Add to favorites)

Du Jingyi was a little confused at first, but he quickly reacted.

It must be because Li Zhu blocked the attack of the Fifth Elderly Lady for him, so Shang Ji knew about it.

After thinking about it, he did not agree immediately, but said it with some reservation.

"When Lizhu was at home, she learned some basic skills from the escort master at home, but if she really wants to practice martial arts with Mr. Liu, I need to ask her first. After all, she will be the one who will suffer the hardship."

When she said this, Shang Ji was a little surprised.

Since he became conscious, the word he heard most in the army was "obedience".

Over time, he also developed the habit of being a superior.

He is accustomed to giving orders to his subordinates and arranging everything.

But the lady in front of him was different. If you think about it carefully, she almost never forced her maids.

I used to think she was lazy and didn't want to think too much, but now it seems that she has a heart that treats people equally.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

It's just that the excuse of tea was used to cover up the past.

The two have different ways of dealing with things. He appreciates Du Jingyi's approach, but that doesn't mean he will do the same.

What is required in the military is absolute obedience and supreme control.

Otherwise, if we have to take into account the thoughts of everyone in an army of hundreds of thousands of people, how can we talk about enforcing orders and defending the country and the people?

"Okay, then you can arrange this matter yourself."

"I understand."

The couple talked for a while and then didn't continue to argue about the matter.

They were able to fight against the enemy with their own weapons and block the water with their own earth.

But Duke Shang Yukuan did not have a spy to inform him of the news in advance, so he was caught red-handed.

The Fifth Old Master is a man of his words and never equivocates.

He went straight to the gate of Yunjin Courtyard.

Seeing him coming with such a fierce momentum, Shang Yukuan and Mrs. Wei were both confused.

After all, she was now fully focused on the birthday celebration for her husband in a few days, so she hadn't heard that there was anything worth making a fuss about at home recently.

But they have been pretending for decades, and it is not like they will reveal their true colors now.

So he put on a decent and calm expression and spoke to the fifth old master.

"What brings Fifth Uncle here? Come in, come in, there's some new tea, Fifth Uncle, try it."

Compared with the former Madam Gu, Madam Wei is much more humble and submissive.

If it were before, it would be very difficult to hear such soft words, but now, I can hear them almost every time, so I don’t think it’s a big deal.

People are like this. If they are suppressed by others, they will be humble and submissive. If they are respected and honored by others, they will take advantage of others.

So the Fifth Old Master placed his music score in a big place and walked into the house with his head held high.

I didn't know and thought he was showing off because of his power, but in fact he came to ask for help.

He sat down, and the Fourth Master and Shang Wulang who followed him also sat down.

Duke Shang Yukuan was a gentle person. Although he had some unhappiness with the Fifth Old Master when he received the imperial edict, it had been more than half a month since the incident.

Moreover, he was punished and sent to guard the tomb for ten days before returning, so he naturally forgot about being angry, and his smile was quite sincere.

After the maids in Yunjin Courtyard served tea, they withdrew respectfully.

Mrs. Wei glanced around at the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren and knew that today's matter was not simple.

So I was extremely alert in my heart, and if they asked for money, I would have something to say to refuse.

However, the Fifth Old Master took a look at the teacup. He thought it was a good thing before, but now he looked down on it.

He was so satisfied that he seemed to have established a relationship with the Prince Min's Palace, and he was so arrogant that he even forgot who he was.

So he spoke to Shang Yukuan in a rather domineering manner.

"Goudan, my fifth uncle is here today to tell you something. The old prince of the Min Palace has taken a fancy to our Qi Niang and said he wants to take her as his concubine. How about you pick a date and come over to settle this matter with them?"

Shang Yukuan was completely confused by these words, and Mrs. Wei next to him also frowned deeply after hearing them.

Min Wang Mansion? How could this mansion, which had nothing to do with their Duke's Mansion, suddenly fall in love with Shang Qiniang who had always been at home? She didn't want to believe it.

But seeing how confident the Fifth Old Master was, he asked tentatively.

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

"Could it be that Fifth Uncle is drunk and talking nonsense? The old prince of Prince Min's Palace has taken a fancy to Qi Niang? He wants to take her as a concubine? How come the old prince and I don't know anything about it?"

The Fifth Old Master didn't like Madam Wei at all at the moment. Anyone who wanted to prevent him from getting the 12,000 taels of betrothal money should get out.

Therefore, his tone was not as polite as before. He immediately returned to his original nature and spoke to Mrs. Wei with malicious sarcasm.

"What? You can climb into Prince Fu's bed, but you can't allow our Fifth House to have a respectable person? Who are you looking down on?"

"you……"

Mrs. Wei's face suddenly turned unhappy when she was suddenly confronted by the Fifth Old Master.

The old lady's affairs have always been a thorn in her side. She didn't expect at first that the old lady's ideas were so powerful that she would do this without caring about her reputation.

By the time she found out, the person had already hooked up with Prince Fu.

What else could she do? After all, it was her baby, she couldn't just ignore it.

Fortunately, things took a turn for the better later on, allowing the mother and daughter to escape. Otherwise, they would probably still be living a hard life on the farm.

Therefore, this matter is an unspeakable taboo in Mrs. Wei's heart.

But today, the Fifth Old Master took her words as an attack and ridicule, and Mrs. Wei was immediately unhappy.

Mrs. Wei is also a shrewd person and always shows weakness in front of Shang Yukuan.

Seeing this scene, he naturally cried with bloodshot eyes.

"What is Fifth Uncle doing? Isn't this stabbing people in the heart? It's been a long time since Auntie's incident. It's fine if outsiders say anything bad about her, but do we, as a family, have to use this incident to humiliate her?"

"She took the wrong path, but she also earned a powerful husband for the family. Without her help over the years, the Duke's Mansion wouldn't have been so prosperous. When you were eating, drinking and enjoying yourself in the name of the Duke's Mansion, why didn't you think about who was cleaning up after you?"

"Do you have to tear your face off to talk?"

He was crying and wiping tears while saying this, which made the Fifth Old Master a little unhappy.

What he hated the most was the sound of a woman crying. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he was stopped by Mr. Shang Si and Mr. Shang Wulang who were standing by.

Her eyes signaled him not to speak again, and instead they, father and son, went to comfort her.

"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood my father. He is always so straightforward. You know that, don't you? Don't bother with him. We are talking about good things. Your crying makes it seem like we are forcing him, right?"
