Chapter 79 Black and White Face

"I don't care what method he uses, he must get this done! Otherwise, I will go out and tell everyone how harshly our favored general treats his family!"

Hearing this, Shang Yukuan was both angry and helpless.

Faced with his fifth uncle who was always domineering and unreasonable, Shang Yukuan really wanted to kick him a few times to vent his anger.

When the people from the fifth room saw the first room's agreement, they immediately took the fifth old master away.

Don't let the situation that you have worked so hard to achieve be ruined by his few words. That would be a loss.

So Mr. Shang Si and Mr. Shang Wulang "supported" the Fifth Old Master and immediately walked out of the Yunjin Courtyard.

After they left, Shang Yukuan let out a long sigh, looked at Mrs. Wei with some resentment and said.

"What did you promise them to do? Liu Lang may not be willing to do this. If Fifth Uncle really goes out to make trouble, wouldn't that just cause trouble for Liu Lang?"

Shang Ji's son has been raised in his father-in-law's home since he was a child, so he is not very close to him.

But as a father, I am happy from the bottom of my heart to see my son achieve such success today, and I hope he is doing well.

As for the affairs of the third and fifth rooms, he would not be involved if possible.

Fortunately, they would have to move away in a few days, so Shang Yukuan always felt that he just had to do his best to take care of his two uncles in their old age and see them to the end of their lives.

When they are all gone, the people in this courtyard will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Duke's Mansion.

At that time, Mrs. Wei can do whatever she wants with you.

But now, he seemed to have caused trouble for his son Shang Ji again, so he was very angry.

Mrs. Wei has served him for more than 30 years, so how could she not know what he is thinking?

Then he used his old tricks again, his nose felt sore, his eyes turned red, and he spoke in a sad voice.

"Master, you also heard how Fifth Uncle scolded us and Auntie. For so many years, I have treated them like ancestors, but in the end, I didn't even show them the slightest respect."

"Speaking of which, isn't it because you look down on the power of our couple? Now that the most capable man in the family is back, it's natural that he should take on some responsibilities. Are we always the ones who have to take the lead?"

As she spoke, she became even sadder, which made Shang Yukuan very embarrassed.

On one side is his son who makes him very proud and gratified, and on the other side is the person who has been by his side for many years.

No matter which one it was, he didn't want to make them sad.

But as the saying goes, even a hero can be tempted by beauty, not to mention that Shang Yukuan is not a hero with good self-control.

Being controlled by Mrs. Wei, he naturally had nothing to say and could only shake his head.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll go and talk to him. Whether it succeeds or not is not my concern. The Duke's Mansion will be handed over to him and Mrs. Du sooner or later. Let's just let them practice on this matter."

"That's right, Master. How can anything be accomplished without practice? Besides, don't worry too much. With Liu Lang's current power and ability, maybe it can be accomplished with just a few words. Isn't that better?"

After hearing Mrs. Wei's answer, Shang Yukuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

I just wanted to find an opportunity to talk to my son about this.

But how to open the mouth made him feel awkward.

In Xitang Courtyard.

When the spy told Du Jingyi all the news, a disdainful smile appeared on her face.

Madam Wei was determined to put the blame on Dongyuan for this matter, and Du Jingyi was no less ambitious.

Du Jingyi had already learned a general idea about Madam Shang's affairs from Madam Dou.

I used to be somewhat respectful to my father-in-law, but now I think it's a joke.

A person who cannot understand or control the person next to him or his own daughter is either stupid and unaware of it, or he is weak and incompetent and unable to take responsibility.

No matter which one it is, in Du Jingyi's eyes, they are all useless people.

However, it was difficult to say these words in front of everyone in Dongyuan, so he just gave the order.

"Thank you for your help. If you have any new information, please report it to me."

"As you command."

After the two men disappeared, the maid Cherry brought her a cup of tea to help her calm down.

"Young Madam, have some tea to moisten your throat."

"Um."

While drinking tea, Du Jingyi was thinking about how to deal with the matters of the fifth room.

Mrs. Wei was simply daydreaming. She thought she could just put the blame on her and her husband. Unfortunately, her wishful thinking did not lead to a good ending.

Du Jingyi thought for a moment and then spoke to Yingtao.

"Pack some luggage and let's go out."

"Ah? What are you going to do, Madam? Are you going to run away?"

Seeing Yingtao's anxious face, Du Jingyi smiled and said.

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

"When did I, your wife, run away? I was clearly going to inspect the manor! The New Year is only two months away, so isn't it my duty to inspect now?"

Having said that, Cherry still felt something was strange.

A mere Fifth House could force them to leave the house. Wouldn't it be a joke if it were told to others? But she forgot that the Fifth House was very tight-lipped now, and the matter had not yet been exposed, so there was no such thing as being forced to leave.

"Also, tell the gatekeeper at East Garden that if anyone from Room 5 comes to visit, they are not to be allowed in, regardless of the reason."

"yes."

Du Jingyi just wanted to let the fifth room know how difficult this matter was.

After being treated coldly again and again, when the fire is provoked, there will be a big fight.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he was waiting to see a good show.

Seeing that her young mistress was confident, Cherry did not try to persuade her any further and quickly packed her luggage.

Du Jingyi called housekeeper He and Nanny Dou and told them that he was going to inspect the manor.

Both of them were a little surprised. Why would they want to go out during such a troubled time?

However, they still remembered clearly what their general said last time.

Therefore, there was no obstruction.

He just sent a number of capable servants to follow him, plus a team of personal guards and Liu Xun that Shang Ji left for Du Jingyi, and then he left quietly.

The gatekeeper thought that the Sixth Young Master's wife had gone out to play and would be back soon.

Who knew it would never come back.

When the news reached Mrs. Wei of Yunjinyuan, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"She left? Did she get some news in advance?"

Aunt Jiao next to her shook her head and said.

"The people in the Fifth House were afraid that the news would leak out, so they kept it a secret. The Master hadn't even had time to tell the Young Master about it. So it seems that the Sixth Young Master's wife shouldn't have known about it."

"Could it be a coincidence?"

This is the right season to visit Zhuangzi.

The autumn harvest is over, and it’s time to make some arrangements for the coming year.

Mrs. Wei had made such an arrangement in the past, and Du Jingyi's dowry also included a large farm and land, so it seemed natural.
