Chapter 246: Telling the Parents



It took the Guo family nearly an hour to discuss all these things.

Many things were finalized after consulting Guo Jiashilang and Shang Xueniang. As you may know, some of their hobbies are quite similar.

As a result, the two people who originally had a good impression of each other now looked at each other even more happily.

Finally, Madam Gu and others escorted the Guo family out of the house. The people passing by could see that the conversation went well.

After everyone from the Guo family had left, Shang Ji spoke to Old Madam Gu.

"Grandma, I'm going to go tell my father about my eighth sister's engagement. When the engagement is made at the end of the month, I'll invite him to come and watch the ceremony."

Originally, the Duke should have been present today, but no one in the mansion mentioned him, so he was not invited.

After hearing Shang Ji's words, Madam Gu nodded.

"Just invite him alone. I don't want to see Wei any more."

"Yes, grandson understands."

After Shang Ji finished speaking, he glanced at Du Jingyi, then rode away with Luo Yuan.

The General's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion were not far away, so they arrived there in a short while.

When the gatekeeper saw that the person coming was Shang Ji, he naturally did not dare to stop him.

He hurriedly welcomed him in, and Shang Ji didn't ask any more questions and went straight into the Yunjin Courtyard.

As luck would have it, they happened to meet Princess Fu who came to visit, so now everyone was gathered together.

In the main house of Yunjin Courtyard, everyone in this room was talking.

All they were talking about was the incident where Prime Minister Guo said at the gate of the General's Mansion that he wanted to ask for Shang Xuenniang's hand in marriage for Sun. They were adding fuel to the fire and almost stirring up the matter again.

Madam Wei pretended to be aggrieved and said to Duke Shang Yukuan.

"Master, these Liu Lang and Ba Niang are too ignorant of the rules. How dare they arrange a marriage without the permission of their parents?"

"That's right, he simply doesn't take my father seriously. Does he think that he is no longer a member of the Duke's Mansion after moving out? Isn't he still carrying the reputation of the young master? How can he be so bold and presumptuous?"

The Princess of Fu and Madam Wei sang the same tune, making Shang Yukuan feel very confused.

I went to a banquet yesterday, but didn't hear about this matter.

Could it be that they have really made up their minds not to associate with their family? Just when I was feeling annoyed, I heard someone shouting.

"General Shang has arrived."

This voice suppressed the arrogance of Princess Fu and Madam Wei a lot. They looked at each other and saw from each other's eyes why it happened so quickly.

As Shang Ji entered the room, he saw everyone's expressions.

Duke Ru was naturally overjoyed to see him, but there was also some resentment mixed in his feelings.

Mrs. Wei and Princess Fu were obviously a little surprised, and it seemed that they did not expect him to come.

Thinking of this, he had an idea in his mind and said to Shang Yukuan.

"Meet father."

"Why is Rokuro here?"

"The Guo family suddenly came to visit today and said they wanted to marry my eighth sister. It happened so suddenly that I was unable to tell my father in time. So as soon as the Guo family left, my son rushed over to discuss this matter with my father."

He did find a good excuse. Anyway, no one knew what the Guo family had said to them in private. Therefore, since the incident happened suddenly, no one could find any trouble with it.

After hearing this, Shang Yukuan suddenly understood and said to Princess Fu.

"See, you misunderstood your sixth brother. Isn't he rushing to discuss this with me?"

Hearing this, Princess Fu's face flashed with some unnaturalness, as if she had come to complain on purpose.

The disdain in Shang Ji's eyes was about to overflow, which made Princess Fu very unhappy, so she replied casually.

"The Guo family has already come to propose marriage, and my sixth brother is just now thinking of telling father. Isn't this rudeness?"

"The Guo family has informed us of their intentions before, but the specific date has never been set. As for the marriage proposal, that is even more nonsense. Now they have come to the mansion to discuss and the proposal has not been fully confirmed. Where did Princess Fu get the news that the marriage proposal is over?"

Princess Fu was speechless after being confronted by him.

Indeed, she just heard some rumors and rushed to deliver the message. She had never been to the general's mansion, and she had never listened to the outside world, so she was really a little embarrassed.

After saying this, Shang Jifu spoke to Shang Yukuan again.

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

"Father, please move to the study. I will explain this matter to you in detail."

When Mrs. Wei saw this, her face became even uglier and she spoke with a cold face.

"Liu Lang, don't you think of us as your own family? Why can't we, the elders, listen to Ba Niang's marriage?"

Shang Ji didn't indulge her and spoke frankly.

"Our elders are all living in the General's Mansion. Madam Wei, please stop flattering yourself. I don't need to mention what kind of life Dongyuan is leading. Even the house can be burned to ashes. If you knew how to arrange the marriage of Eighth Sister, wouldn't you ruin it?"

These few words gave Madam Wei a severe headache, and Princess Fu was no less upset, she started to attack Shang Ji.

"Who taught you to be so disrespectful to your elders? Doesn't the Gu family always claim that they are well-educated? How come the children they raise are so rude one after another?"

"Princess Fu, it's really funny to hear the word 'well-educated' come out of your mouth. Have you forgotten how you climbed to this position? Do you need me to give you some more advice?"

Shang Ji is also a ruthless person who bites people wherever it hurts.

Over the years, what Princess Fu is most criticized for is what happened back then. Although she does not regret it, people always have to save face, especially after climbing to a high position, she likes to whitewash the situation.

So when the ugly past was suddenly exposed like this, he became angry and furious all of a sudden.

Shang Yukuan didn't want the peace at home to be disturbed again, so he hurried out to smooth things over.

"Come on, let's go to the study first. Don't let a few quarrels ruin important things."

Then they pulled Shang Ji's sleeve and walked out. Shang Ji didn't want to argue with them and left too.

Poor Shang Silang sat there in a daze, unable to say a word. After seeing his father and sixth brother leave, Princess Fu focused all her fire on him, cursing him.

"Tell me, what's the use of you? My mother and I were scolded by that bastard, but you didn't say a word. Are you still a man?"

Shang Silang has a weak personality to begin with. When there is a conflict like this, he would rather stay away from it. How could he be willing to get involved?

So, when Princess Fu scolded her, Shang Silang kept silent about his own affairs, just as he always did.

Shang Qillang was still studying hard in his own yard. After all, the Spring Examination was only a few days away, so he didn't know about this.
