Chapter 85 Another Opportunity

As soon as Du Jingyi said this, Shang Qinnan's face suddenly turned ugly.

He bit the handkerchief tightly, as if he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

But Wulang's wife just wanted to watch the fun and said to Du Jingyi.

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Sixth Sister-in-law. It's not the grandson of the emperor, but Prince Min himself. Wu Lang got some news from outside and came back. He said that Princess Min is old and wants to find a concubine who understands Prince Min's well-being to take care of him. After we thought about it, we all thought that Seventh Sister would be a good choice, so we thought of coming to Sixth Sister-in-law to ask for her help."

"Prince Min? My concubine? Are you sure?"

Du Jingyi's surprise made Mrs. Guo wish she could just run into a wall and die here.

Shang Qinnan was also the same, she lowered her head and refused to speak.

Mrs. Ni felt a little embarrassed, but Wulang's wife was not shy and continued to speak.

"Alas, we were born by our mother and raised by our father. If we hadn't been in trouble, why would we let Seventh Sister become someone's concubine? First, she is old and it is really hard to find someone to marry her. Second, you know something about the situation of our Fifth House. We really can't give her a decent dowry, so we have delayed Seventh Sister until now."

"Sixth sister-in-law, don't think that you will be a concubine in the palace. If Seventh sister has some ability and can get the position of concubine, wouldn't it be honorable for our family? So I'd like to trouble you to talk to the general. If you can get the position of concubine directly, it's fine."

What is a wild idea? This is what Wulang’s wife is like.

Du Jingyi really admired her for her bold tone and natural way of speaking.

He has seen all kinds of people in the business world, but someone this shameless is one of the top three people Du Jingyi hates.

After listening to this, Du Jingyi was silent for a moment, then skipped Wulang's wife and did not speak to her directly, and asked Shang Qinnan and Madam Guo.

"Do you think so too?"

Madam Guo was still crying as usual. Not only Madam Dou, but even the maids Yingtao and Lizhu disliked her.

Her daughter was about to be pushed into the fire pit, but as a mother, she didn't think about saving her and just kept crying. No wonder Shang Qinnan ended up like this.

It’s really not a loss at all.

Thinking this in his mind, he looked at Mrs. Guo, whose expression did not look very good.

Lizhu spoke quickly and immediately addressed Mrs. Guo.

"Second Madam, please stop crying. If you keep crying like this, we won't have to water the flowers and plants in the East Garden anymore."

There was a hint of impatience in his tone.

When she said this, Mrs. Guo was so scared that she immediately shut up.

He looked at Wulang's wife timidly, as if he was afraid that she would go back and complain.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi scolded Li Zhu.

"presumptuous."

Yingtao also pulled Lizhu's sleeve, and then Lizhu spoke to Mrs. Guo reluctantly.

"It is my fault for talking too much. Please don't take it as an offense, Madam."

"No, no...it's me...not..."

She wanted to explain, but she couldn't even speak clearly.

Upon seeing this, the Fifth Elder Lady glanced at her with a warning look.

Mrs. Guo was completely speechless and could only lower her head silently.

Just like in the past few decades, I have been just a punching bag with little sense of existence.

When Shang Qinnan saw her own mother's appearance, she was afraid that she would live like this for the next few decades.

So he gritted his teeth, looked directly at Du Jingyi for the first time, and then said.

"Sixth sister-in-law, please help me."

Du Jingyi had an idea in his mind after hearing the firm tone.

It seems that Shang Qinnan was not completely pushed into the abyss by her family. She also wanted to fight for it.

In this case, the little bit of kindness in Du Jingyi's heart would disappear completely.

As I said, if people don’t think about saving themselves, it will be useless even if the king of heaven comes.

So, after thinking about it, he spoke.

"I'm not completely sure I can agree to this, but since you all said so, I will try my best. The general doesn't have much contact with the Min Palace, but when I went back to my mother's house some time ago, I heard that the Pingliang Temple was going to make a golden statue in two days. It is said that the prince and the princes of various palaces will also go."

"If Seventh Sister really wants to give it a try, why not dress up nicely that day? Staying with Madam Wei will give her more opportunities to show her face. Who knows, there may be other opportunities."

Although the words were not definite, they did give rise to speculations among the women in the fifth room.

If you have a choice, why do you have to hang yourself on this old tree of Prince Min's Palace?

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

Anyway, she was a concubine, so it didn't matter who she served . Who knew she could even marry the prince?

If you can really enter the Eastern Palace, then you will have a truly bright future.

All of a sudden, the five old ladies and others stopped crying and smiled widely.

He looked at Du Jingyi with more favor than ever before, and there was a hint of sincerity in their intimacy. He smiled and spoke.

"I told you that Liu Lang's wife is kind-hearted and won't leave us alone. But you also know how tight our finances are. We want to buy some clothes and jewelry for Qi Niang. It's really..."

Before she finished speaking, Du Jingyi knew what she meant.

So she didn't shirk her responsibility and stepped forward to help.

"My mother's family has a clothing store outside. A few days ago, an embroiderer from Jiangnan came. I heard that her craftsmanship is very good. How about I ask her to make a few pieces for my seventh sister?"

Hearing this, Wulang's wife's eyes lit up.

Pretending that he didn't really want to take advantage of this, he interrupted and said.

"That's great, Seventh Sister is lucky. I'm not like you, my belly is getting bigger, but I'm still wearing the same clothes as before. I wonder if the embroiderer will change the waistline and add some cloth for me?"

She said it politely, but no one present could fail to hear it.

Isn't this asking for money? Mrs. Ni was a little displeased with her daughter-in-law's attitude and behavior, so she frowned.

As for Mrs. Guo, it was not her turn to comment on the matter, so she kept her mouth shut.

This time, Du Jingyi was more generous than ever. He replied calmly and said.

"I'm afraid it won't look good if you add more fabric. Why don't you make a few more? The weather is getting colder now, and adding two more cloaks will help protect the baby in your belly a little more."

Hearing this, Wulang's wife laughed so hard that her eyebrows and eyes were almost invisible.

"My sister-in-law is really thoughtful. If that's the case, I'll do a few of them. When the child is born, I'll make sure he's filial to Sixth Aunt!"

Shang Qinnan next to her was also willing to say something rare.

He also thanked Du Jingyi profusely. As she said, wouldn't it be better if he could get another opportunity?

The whole family spoke politely and harmoniously.

If an uninformed outsider saw what was happening, they would probably think it was a harmonious reunion scene.
