Chapter 221: Clever Solution



Old Madam Guo loved her grandson Shang Ji from the bottom of her heart, so when she saw him coming, she couldn't help but make a joke.

"Are you afraid that my old lady will do something to your sister? Are you rushing to protect her?"

"Grandma Guo is making fun of Shao Yu again. You can't love her enough, right?"

"You kid, you know how to coax people!"

When facing the Guo family, Shang Ji would retract the tattoos on his body, so they got along well. However, Du Jingyi's eyes seemed to say that she wanted to say something to him alone, so after seeing Du Jingyi being taken away by the Crown Princess, he asked.

"Xue Niang, where are your Sixth Sister-in-law and Cousin Lang?"

"The Crown Princess said she wanted to take them to meet her family members in the Earl of Weiyuan's Mansion, so we followed them."

Hearing this, Shang Ji didn't show it on his face, but he was not very happy in his heart.

Earl Weiyuan's Mansion. He hadn't paid much attention to their family before, but he still knew what he needed to know.

There are still two unengaged children in their family, but neither the third nor the fourth son is a good match. It would not be a good thing for cousin Lang to marry into their family in this situation.

So I found an excuse and said.

"I haven't seen Lord Weiyuan for a long time. I'll go over and take a look."

After saying that, he clasped his fists, bowed, and left in a hurry. Seeing Sixth Brother leaving quickly, Xue Niang felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

When Mrs. Guo San saw her like this, she said with a smile in her eyes.

"Are you jealous?"

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Auntie. Sixth brother and his wife love each other so much that we are never afraid of other people's opinions. This is also the case in the mansion."

Listening to Xue Niang's revelations, the Guo family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became interested and started teasing her.

"This boy was not like this before. Tell us how he and his wife love each other."

Xue Niang was young and had a simple mind. The people in the Guo family had a very good relationship with her grandmother and sixth brother, so after hearing what they said, she did not hide it.

She told many anecdotes about the couple, and after listening to them, Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Guo San laughed even louder, which attracted the attention of some other ladies.

"It looks like we will have another feast soon."

The powerful alliance between the Guo family and the merchants, the Prime Minister's Office and the General's Office will only make the prince's position more stable. Therefore, the ladies who saw this scene all made a secret decision to go back and explain the matter to their masters.

To avoid standing on the wrong side.

On the other side, the Crown Princess took Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaolang through the corridor and came to the other side of the flower hall. Here, the people from Earl Weiyuan's Mansion gathered in an orderly and lively manner.

The Earl of Weiyuan and his wife were smiling and responding fluently to the people around them. Minister Yan, the next Earl of Weiyuan, and his wife, Mrs. Li, were also socializing with them.

The four of them are the most capable people in the Crown Princess’ family, so naturally they are guests of honor in the Eastern Palace.

The Minister's wife, Mrs. Li, saw the Crown Princess coming at a glance, and behind her were Du Jingyi and their beloved Gu Xiaolang. She smiled so hard that she could hardly see her eyes.

He hurried forward and said.

"This subject has met the Crown Princess."

"Auntie, you are too polite again. Liu Lang's wife and Miss Gu are visiting us. I am bringing them to meet my father and mother."

Du Jingyi was hoping that her husband Shang Ji would come over quickly to rescue them, while Gu Xiaolang felt that it would be better for her not to go out on this trip.

But both of them looked calm, and looked at the Marquis Weiyuan and his wife not far away with great respect.

"Ms. Du of the Shang family (daughter of the Gu family) has met the Earl of Weiyuan and his wife, and has met the Minister Yan and his wife."

They didn't have much contact with each other before, so they didn't use similar terms.

The wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan and the wife of the Minister were both determined to win over Gu Xiaolang, so they were both very polite to him.

"I'll follow the Crown Princess and call my sister Liu Lang's wife."

In terms of the husband's status, Shang Ji, a second-rank General of Cavalry, has a higher status than Minister Yan. But in terms of age and closeness to the Eastern Palace, what Minister Li's wife said is not necessarily excessive.

"Madam, you can call me that."

Li was a very outgoing person. After just a few words, she put her arm around Du Jingyi's wrist. You would have thought they knew each other before.

But even though she was standing next to Du Jingyi, her eyes never left Gu Xiaolang's face.

She also winked at her husband, and soon, Sanlang and Silang from the Weiyuan Earl's family came over.

"Shaoyi, Shaozhan has met Madam Shang and Miss Gu."

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

The two of them had dressed up carefully today, so their already handsome faces had a more noble air of young masters, but they also restrained a lot of their usual hedonistic attitudes.

Gu Xiaolang slightly moved to the side behind Du Jingyi, not wanting to have anything to do with the sons of the Weiyuan Marquis's family. However, in the eyes of the Weiyuan Marquis's family, her behavior appeared to be that of a well-behaved, decent and steady lady.

Therefore, she liked Gu Xiaolang from the bottom of her heart and wanted to marry her into the Gu family.

Mrs. Bo smiled and took a step forward. Before she could say anything, a man's powerful voice came over.

"Shao Yu greets the Earl of Weiyuan and his wife."

Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaolang turned around and saw Shang Ji walking towards them with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. His calm expression became the rock-solid confidence for them at the moment.

Gu Xiaolang breathed a sigh of relief. With her cousin Shao Yu around, she would not be in any trouble today.

Minister Yan raised his eyebrows unconsciously, not knowing what the reason was for General Shang to come here suddenly.

It was the Crown Princess who was mediating between them and spoke up.

"Everyone says Liu Lang has a tough personality, but I think he is the softest and most delicate person. Is he rushing to me to ask for someone because he can't see his wife?"

Her joke made the atmosphere less awkward.

Du Jingyi pretended to be shy, and took Gu Xiaolang to stand one step behind Shang Ji, where he stood quietly.

He avoided the enthusiastic gazes of Weiyuanbo Sanlang and Silang.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Crown Princess and everyone else. My grandmother was not feeling well and couldn't be here today, so there's no elder by their side to look after them. I'm always worried."

Shang Ji looked at Du Jingyi's belly, and everyone knew what was going on after seeing it.

He is almost thirty years old and has no children, so naturally he attaches great importance to this hard-earned child. Seeing him like this, Lady Weiyuan Marquis smiled and replied.

"Don't worry, Liu Lang. I see your wife is pregnant and will surely have a safe birth."

"Thank you for your kind words, Madam Bo."

With him around, the people of the Weiyuan Earl's family couldn't let their Sanlang and Silang meet Gu Xiaolang in a too open manner, so they just talked about some unimportant matters in the court.
