Chapter 69: True Feelings

Leaning in his arms, she sighed and said.

"Erlang, you also know the situation of our Third House. If this happened in my uncle's lineage in the Duke's Mansion, it would definitely be impossible, but it is not difficult to make it happen in our Third House. After all, for us daughters who have to get married, whether we marry well or not is never considered by our family. They are more concerned about what they can get from this marriage."

Shang Liuniang spoke in a tone that was self-deprecating and helpless.

But it is true.

Jia Weiyou also felt sorry for his wife's situation, so he tightened his arms around her, wanting to give her some warmth.

As Shang Liuniang spoke, her eyes turned red.

"Fourth sister had a bad fate. The man she married was a worthless person, so she suffered so much. I am much luckier than her. I met you, my husband, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law are all kind and treat me with all their heart. Naturally, I cannot let you down."

"What happened today sounds unfair to Fourth Sister, but this is actually the best way out I can think of for her. If she marries into the palace, at least she won't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. If her family arranges for her to find someone else, she might have to live a hard life."

As she spoke, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and continued.

"So I will personally discuss this matter with Fourth Sister. No matter how difficult it is, I will do it. First, it's for her, second, it's for my younger sister, and third, it's also for the sake of being able to stay with my husband for a long time."

Shang Liuniang's words completely dispelled Jia Weiyou's concerns.

He had real feelings for his wife, and he felt even more heartbroken after hearing what she said.

He immediately promised.

"Don't worry, Liu Niang. I will never let you down in this life and let you waste your true love."

"Ji Lang..."

The two of them were so affectionate and made vows to each other.

Poor Shang Si Niang in the Duke's Mansion has no idea that she has been schemed against by her family. It is truly sad and lamentable.

After talking with his wife for a while, Jia Weiyou had important things to do, so he naturally couldn't stay in the house for long.

After bidding farewell reluctantly, Shang Liuniang asked her personal maid Ruyan to fetch some water for her to apply to her eyes.

After all, crying so sincerely always comes at a price.

For example, my eyes are a little red and swollen now.

After applying the handkerchief, my eyes felt a slight stinging pain.

Then Ruyan asked in a low voice.

"Madam, do you really want to tell the fourth lady? Will it cause any trouble?"

"What are you afraid of? She has always been a person who fights for everything. She can only eat what I leave behind and use what I use. Now I arranged this excellent marriage for her. She is not grateful to me. Could it be that she wants to attack me?"

There was a lot of sarcasm in Shang Liuniang's tone, and one could tell at once that she looked down on Shang Siniang.

It was ridiculous that she just put on such a big show in front of her husband Jia Weiyou.

After hearing this, Ruyan didn't know how to respond and could only change her handkerchief silently.

Shang Liuniang obviously did not take this to heart, but was concentrating on thinking about how she could handle the situation and accomplish all this.

This made both the Jia family and her own family look at her with admiration and respect.

The moon is high in the sky and everything is quiet.

After Shang Ji and Du Jingyi and his wife left the Du family, Shang's carriage headed back to the Duke's Mansion.

The wheels of the carriage clattered on the bluestone road, the sound deep and regular.

Du Jingyi sat on it, looking very happy.

At dinner, she ate very well because she was happy.

She even wanted to stay there, but she also knew that it was not possible.

However, I was still thinking about what my mother said about Heiraji Temple, so I was thinking about how to start the conversation.

Then Shang Ji's deep voice was heard, and he started asking.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that he spoke first, Du Jingyi naturally followed suit and told him that he was planning to go to Pingliang Temple with his parents and sister in a few days.

Shang Ji didn't object after hearing this and spoke frankly.

"We'll see. If I have nothing else to do, I'll go with you. If I have military duties to attend to, I'll have a team of personal guards escort you. Just be careful when you go out."

"The General has no objection?"

"Why should I object?"

Shang Ji didn't quite understand what Du Jingyi said, but seeing her sincerity, he explained.

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

"The Gu family has strict rules, but they never criticize their family members. I grew up in the Gu family, so I won't learn those fake rules to deliberately require you. Now I'm busy moving and don't have time. When you go to the general's mansion, you can go out whenever you want and go wherever you want. Just pay attention to safety."

His words actually changed Du Jingyi's opinion of this disciple of the Gu family.

I thought that such a prominent family must have very strict rules at home.

The restrictions on the family members in the harem should not be relaxed either.

I didn’t expect it. I really didn’t expect it.

Her husband Shang Ji had said before that he would send a Nanny Qin to help her behave properly. She had thought it would be a constraint, but now it seems that she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

So Du Jingyi's brows relaxed a lot, and he said to Shang Ji with a smile.

"Then I understand. Thank you for your trust, General. I will pay attention to it."

"Um."

Perhaps it was because the night was somewhat heartwarming, or perhaps Du Jingyi felt that the couple needed to find some topics to talk about, so he started talking about the Jia family and Prince Min's Mansion.

Not to mention anything else, when Du Jingyi mentioned Prince Min's Palace, Shang Ji's eyes flashed with disdain, but due to the other party's identity, he didn't say anything directly.

So he told Du Jingyi.

"The waters of Prince Min's Mansion are deep, so if you can avoid getting involved, then don't get involved. The Jia family thinks that getting involved with them will lead to a smooth life. Be careful that Prince Min's Mansion will use them to their advantage and nothing will be left of them!"

Few of the people in the royal family are easy to get along with.

Shang Ji understands this better than anyone else.

Hearing him say this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but feel more concerned.

But after thinking about it, I still feel that there should be no suspicion and estrangement between husband and wife, and the best way is to speak out your inner thoughts.

This way, it would be much less troublesome to do things and speak, so I just spoke frankly.

"General, I always feel that this matter is closely related to Liu Niang, and it is also related to the third house. If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that the palace will think that it is the Duke's Mansion that offended them, not just the Jia family."

"Humph, that's just right. Let them experience the bloody storm outside. If they don't have anything else, they will just hide at home and suck people's blood."

There was no intention of protecting him in his words.
