Chapter 241 Women's Resentment
Cherry pointed her finger towards the ear room and said.
"The hangover soup is being kept warm in the side room. I asked Dan Ruo to make several bowls of it, fearing that it might not be enough for the general and deputy general Luo."
Seeing this, Shang Ji didn't say anything else, but gave instructions to Yingtao.
"You should go back and rest first. If the young lady needs to look for someone and can't find him, I will rest in this side room today. I'm afraid that the alcohol will irritate the lady and the children."
"Yes, General, please."
After saying this, Cherry bowed and returned to the bedroom.
Only Shang Ji and Luo Yuan were left in the yard.
At this moment, the dim lamp was blown out, and Luo Yuan finally reacted.
"So this lamp was left for the general. I thought she just didn't notice it."
"Okay, drink the hangover soup and go back to rest. You've been busy all day, aren't you tired?"
Luo Yuan touched the back of his head and gave an awkward smile.
"This wine is a bit intoxicating. I am very excited now."
"Then go to the west wing and have some fun, but don't disturb the young lady's sleep."
"Yes, I will leave right away."
Luo Yuanren took a step forward, then turned back and said with a chuckle.
"I haven't drunk the hangover soup Miss Cherry prepared for me yet. I'll go drink it right away."
As he said this, he entered the ear room quickly without making any sound. Then he came out and said something to Shang Ji.
"I'll take my leave."
Then he walked out of the yard and left without looking back.
Shang Ji walked into the ear room and saw that the bedding on the chaise longue had been made, which made him feel satisfied.
He was afraid that the noise he made while washing would disturb Du Jingyi's rest, so he lay down in his clothes after drinking the sobering soup.
Although people have relaxed, they keep thinking about what just happened.
Two hours ago, he sent the drunken prince back to the East Palace.
It wasn't a big deal, but the person who came out to greet her was neither the Crown Princess nor one of the four concubines, but Concubine Zong Liangdi.
It was late at night, but she was still dressed up beautifully.
Anyone with eyes knows what this means.
Isn't it just to get more favors so that you can get pregnant sooner to consolidate your position? The Crown Prince now has five sons and six daughters, among which the eldest and third grandsons are both born to the Crown Princess. Not only are they smart and clever, but they are also in top physical shape.
If the crown prince succeeds to the throne smoothly, then the crown princess will inevitably be promoted to queen, and the eldest and third grandsons of the emperor will become invaluable.
Thinking of this, Shang Ji couldn't help but recall the post sent by the Earl of Weiyuan's Mansion these days, the meaning of which was very clear.
After today, I’m afraid the Crown Princess will have some misunderstandings about him.
On the one hand, the family is asked to reject the goodwill of the Earl's Mansion, and on the other hand, the prince is sent to Zong Liangdi. Anyone would think too much.
Shang Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about how to save face for the two imperial grandchildren and to heal the grudge between him and the Crown Princess.
As I was thinking, I fell into a deep sleep.
I also stayed awake all night until dawn.
The next day.
When Du Jingyi opened his eyes, he saw that the sun was already high in the sky outside and he sighed, feeling both amused and helpless.
“What a good sleep!”
Yingtao and Lizhu, who were serving her, also heard the noise and walked in from outside.
"Is the young lady awake?"
"Well, what time is it?"
"It's almost noon."
Du Jingyi looked around and didn't see Shang Ji, so he asked.
"Where's the general?"
Cherry said as she helped Du Jingyi wash up.
"The old lady in Xu Lai's courtyard sent someone to invite the general over, saying that there was something important to discuss. When he left, the general told me to take a good rest. If you have time, go to the flower hall to have lunch. If you don't have time, let our small kitchen cook it for you."
After hearing this, Du Jingyi raised the corner of her mouth, and she knew the expression on her husband's face when he said this.
"Then I'd better clean it up quickly. It's embarrassing to let everyone know that I'm a sleepyhead."
Seeing this, Lizhu came closer and smiled innocently.
"Would the young lady also be shy? How could this servant not know?"
"You little bitch, have you grown braver after not being here for a few days?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Seeing that the young lady could joke with her, Li Zhu finally felt relieved.
"I am afraid that you will be exhausted, so I am telling you a joke to amuse you. If you are happy early in the morning, won't you be happy all day long?"
Hearing this, Du Jingyi finally felt relieved.
After getting dressed a little and drinking half a cup of bird's nest, she set off for Xu Laiyuan.
Just as he was about to step in, he was greeted by Gu Xiaolang, whose eyes were slightly red.
Seeing her like this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but feel a little strange. Was there anyone or anything in this yard that could make her feel wronged?
Unexpectedly, when Gu Xiaolang saw her coming, some resentment flashed in his eyes.
Du Jingyi immediately understood that her crying must be related to her husband.
But the two of them could not end up in a good relationship, and she didn't just find out today, so she didn't cry about it. After thinking about it, she understood a little.
Maybe it's time to send her back to Jinling City.
Du Jingyi felt a little miserable when he thought about a girl who came to her childhood sweetheart cousin with great excitement, but had to return alone in the end.
But no matter how she felt, she wouldn't say a word.
After all, if she still intends to stay, then the marriage has to be settled. Otherwise, finding excuses to refuse every day is not a long-term solution.
It would also cast a mask of insecurity over the General's Mansion, which was not a scene that Madam Gu wanted to see.
So, after understanding why Gu Xiaolang was crying, Du Jingyi felt a lot more relaxed.
Gu Xiaolang walked up to her, the resentment in his eyes gradually faded, and a somewhat pitiful look rose up, making people feel aggrieved just by looking at him.
Du Jingyi sighed and spoke to Yingtao and Lizhu behind him.
"Wait for me over there. I want to talk to Cousin Lang."
"Yes, Madam."
There was worry in Yingtao's eyes, and she tugged at Lizhu's sleeve when she left. The two grew up together, so they naturally understood each other's meaning.
The young lady from the Gu family came with such a fierce momentum, who knew what she was going to do? If she wanted to harm her young mistress and her unborn child, then Li Zhu would have to practice all the skills she had learned these days.
Therefore, although they were far away, they did not miss it.
Especially Lizhu, who picked a few leaves in case of emergency.
After the maids had gone far away, Gu Xiaolang spoke calmly.
"Does my cousin's wife dislike me staying in the general's mansion? Why did she ask my grandmother to send me back to Jinling City?"
Hearing this, Du Jingyi did not get angry but laughed instead and just asked a question in return.
"What do you think, cousin Lang? Will grandma be someone who listens to me?"
