Chapter 227 Dark Explosion

"Yes, they do, but they don't care about business reputation. They used the reputation of my Du family to sell fake medicine outside, and my father found out. So I filed a complaint with the Chamber of Commerce and the government office a long time ago, saying that I have split up with them. Although I still have the surname Du, we are already two families."

After hearing this, Madam Feng's expression improved a little and she said with a smile.

"I was afraid that this person might still be involved with you, so I hurried over to report the news."

Du Jingyi recalled what her mother had mentioned to her before about raising funds to do business in the north, and thought that this matter was likely to be exposed, but she still couldn't let Madam Feng see the flaw on her face, so she asked out of curiosity.

"What's wrong? What did he do?"

"Humph, this guy who doesn't know his own limitations, instigated the people of Jin Shangshu's family to defraud a lot of money from the young masters in Sui'an City. Now he has disappeared. Now the people in the various mansions are keeping this matter under wraps, but many people are privately saying that they want to take his life as a punishment."

Du Jingyi knew that it must be that Minister Jin was showing off his power.

Although Du Jingxian was the one who started this matter, he also acted as a guarantor in it.

"How much did he cheat?"

"I heard it was three hundred thousand taels, but I'm not sure of the exact amount. My husband heard it when he was drinking and socializing outside, so I hurried to deliver a message to you. But since the lawsuit has been filed and the family has been divided, even if the king of heaven comes, it can't be blamed on you!"

Madam Feng Shao was also a rare honest person, so she pointed it out right away.

Every family has a few bad relatives, so the Du family was lucky enough to get out of this matter first, otherwise, the Du family would have to bear the cost of more than 300,000 taels of money.

Du Jingyi thought the same thing as Madam Feng Shao.

But even so, she still had to go home to check on the situation before she could feel at ease.

Otherwise, if those clingy relatives insist on tearing each other apart like the third and fifth rooms of the Shang family, it will not look good on the scene.

Missing? Was he really missing or hiding? Du Jingyi was filled with contempt.

After finishing what she wanted to say when she came here, Madam Feng Shao relaxed a lot. She looked around at the situation in the greenhouse and said with emotion.

"The renovation of the greenhouse in our mansion is scheduled until May and June. It is estimated that it will be completed before the end of the year. I don't know if it can be arranged this winter."

"It's still more comfortable here, Sixth Sister-in-law. Otherwise, when winter comes, I'll just run to the General's Mansion and stay there."

Du Jingyi raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't think that Madam Feng was so enthusiastic in dealing with her just because of herself. It must have been because of the Gu family and her husband.

But showing goodwill is always better than making enemies, so Du Jingyi never refuses these good intentions.

He chuckled and said to Madam Feng Shao.

"I am so happy that the young lady is willing to come."

"Then it's settled. When winter comes, I'll bring my two boys to the General's Mansion to have some fun. By then, the baby in Sixth Sister-in-law's belly will probably be five or six months old, so it's time for some fun."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi touched her belly with a faint smile, her eyes full of kindness.

Whenever someone mentioned her child, she always felt inexplicably soft in her heart.

The Mansion of the Duke of Fengguo is a meritorious family that has both civil officials and military generals. If they can be on good terms with their own son, it will be of great benefit to his future.

Du Jingyi was also happy to think of this win-win situation.

The two of them were chatting and laughing, as if they had known each other for quite some time, and they didn't seem restrained at all.

The people from the Guo family had lunch and were personally escorted out the door by Old Madam Gu. When people outside saw them, they all speculated that it seemed that the wedding of the Guo and Shang family was not far away.

After all, everyone had a big smile on their face.

That night, Shang Ji rode back on horseback.

The dusty and tired atmosphere makes the cold winter less chilly, and it can be seen that early spring is coming quietly.

He washed up as usual before entering the main room. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the fragrance of food and his stomach was growling.

It was already late, and Du Jingyi had already changed into her inner clothes, so the clothes were a little tight, and her belly was also quite bulging.

Seeing his lovely wife like this, Shang Ji felt warm in his heart.

He came up to her and touched her belly, asking softly.

"Is the child not naughty?"

"It's OK. He kicks me from time to time, but not too hard. I heard from my grandmother and aunts that it's still too early. I estimate that in two or three months, the noise will get louder."

Since the Lantern Festival, Shang Ji has basically come back once every three or two days.

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

Therefore, every time he met Du Jingyi, he always asked the same question. Du Jingyi did not get annoyed and answered seriously every time.

After Shang Ji helped Du Jingyi sit down, he spoke.

"I will be busy these days. When you give birth, I will try to stay in the house and not go out. I will feel more at ease watching over you and the baby every day."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi was understanding.

"The general has a heavy burden on his shoulders. I know that. My grandmother and I are taking care of me and my child. It's okay. Besides, my mother will come to our house soon. With her around, why would she worry about my poor health?"

Apart from anything else, my mother-in-law is really good at taking care of herself after a baby is born. You can tell from the sister Du Jingyi I met last time.

So Shang Ji smiled, and there was a bit more relief in his eyes.

However, Du Jingyi informed them of the Guo family's purpose of coming.

"Grandmother Guo meant to send someone to make the betrothal ceremony after Eighth Sister's coming-of-age ceremony, and Grandmother also agreed, so we have to take care of this matter."

Originally, the matter was already 70% to 80% settled, and now that it can be completely confirmed, it is also a good thing, so Shang Ji thought about it and said to Du Jingyi.

"I have the reward from His Majesty, and you have a huge dowry. Our family will not be shortchanged, so I want to give 30% of the things my mother left me to my eighth sister, so that she can live a more satisfactory life after marrying into the Guo family. What do you think?"

The things left by Mrs. Gu had already been divided into three parts by her eldest sister-in-law Liu. The things that belonged to Xuenniang were given to Xuenniang, the things that belonged to Shang Ji were given to Du Jingyi, and as for the things that belonged to Shang Zhiping, she kept them for the time being.

When he gets married in the future and has a wife who can manage the household, she will hand her over to him.

So when Du Jingyi heard Shang Ji's words, he did not refute.

"General, rest assured. I'm already preparing some things for my eighth sister, but some of them cannot be prepared in a day or two. Fortunately, it's still a long time before she gets married, so there's no rush. I can prepare everything in a year or two."

Knowing that Du Jingyi had made arrangements, Shang Ji felt relieved.
