My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Shang Ji was not stupid, so he didn't know what Mrs. Wei was thinking.

Mrs. Wei Kai has been coveting the position of Duke of the country for more than a day. It seems that this time she is going to be ruthless to support Shang Shilang.

Only if Shang Silang becomes the future Duke, then Shang Zhihe can successfully succeed the young Duke.

Otherwise, the four branches of Xiyuan will be considered useless.

The general has a sharp eye.

But how can everything in this world follow her mood?

She wanted to help her son ascend to the throne, but the Duke's Palace was the one they and his wife were bound to win. It would be left to Ping'er in the future. How could she succeed so easily?

Therefore, Shang Ji looked at the chess game without any surprise, and then asked.

Is she planning to poison you?

It's been quiet these past two days. I asked Mr. Liu to pay more attention to my father-in-law's food and drink, and I didn't find anything wrong.

Du Jingyi shook his head, apparently dispelling this suspicion.

That's why I want to arrange for an accident. It's the end of the year and it's winter. If something happens to my father, we have to move. It's really a matter of filial piety.

Well, that's what I'm thinking too.

Shang Ji stood up and said something.

I will find a few people to protect my father secretly. You don't have to worry about this place. It's an auspicious day. If you can move forward, you can move forward. I don't want to step into the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion for a day. .”

Hearing him speak like this, Du Jingyi smiled and said.

General, don't be anxious. Didn't we agree that we would clean up the whole house for Ping'er so that he can take over in the future? We have only left the fifth bedroom, and there are still three more.

You want to deal with them?

Shang Ji asked calmly without even raising his eyebrows.

Du Jingyi shook his head and said immediately.

Since my father-in-law will have an accident, then our Dongyuan will naturally be in trouble. Otherwise, we will be sorry for Mrs. Wei's hard work next time.

So you mean to borrow the east wind?

I've hurt Mrs. Wei, and I'm going to take the opportunity to send away the people in the third room.

How do you want me to cooperate?

Du Jingyi hesitated and did not continue what he said.

But Shang Ji's chess piece didn't fall down, so he looked up at Du Jingyi and understood.

I will make arrangements at my father's place. It won't really kill him, but it's okay to be slightly injured.

Du Jingyi wanted this kind of effect, otherwise how could he deal with these people without blood?

However, he is her husband's father after all, so it would not be out of bounds for her to speak.

She also didn't want any conflict between the two of them to arise over this matter.

Don't worry, general. Once everything is taken care of, father-in-law's ears will be clearer.

Um.

Shang Ji was not really hard-hearted and had resentment towards his father.

She blamed him for being soft-spoken and sentimental, which caused her mother to live a miserable life in the back house.

But it doesn't mean that he is really cruel enough to watch his father die after being plotted by Mrs. Wei.

The two played chess for most of the night, and finally settled down when they were really sleepy.

That night, the wind in Ancheng was howling, seeming to pull the entire earth into winter at once.

Sure enough, early the next morning, there was flying snow in the sky.

It's not big, but you can see it after it falls a little bit.

The snow fell early this year. In previous years, it would not fall until the winter moon, but it was only late October.

This caught many farmers off guard.

You have to rush to stuff the harvest into the cellar early, otherwise it will freeze outside and it will be difficult this winter.

The farmers outside the city are busy, but there are many fewer people on the streets in the city than yesterday.

Probably because of the early snow, many people stayed at home and refused to go out.

Naturally, this also includes everyone in the Duke’s Mansion.

In the main room of Xitang Courtyard in Dongyuan, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi were sleeping hugging each other.

In the quiet morning, no one will disturb you near the main house.

The brocade quilt on the bed was thicker, which was suitable for Du Jingyi to cover alone, but now that Shang Ji is back, the heat makes her a little irritable.

I had many dreams all night and couldn't sleep well.

Du Jingyi didn't fall asleep until it was dark, so he couldn't wake him up even if he screamed.

The habit that Shang Ji has developed over the years is that no matter when he goes to sleep, he always wakes up.

So after I opened my eyes, I looked around at Madam carefully and found that she had no intention of waking up, so I fell asleep again.

It was not until Du Jingyi slowly woke up that he also woke up.

Turning his head, he saw his husband's face, and Du Jingyi smiled.

She moved her body and wanted to get into his arms, but she accidentally touched a place she shouldn't have touched. She immediately turned her back to Shang Ji, not knowing what to say to make this embarrassing situation pass quickly.

Instead, the blushing culprit, Shang Liulang, laughed heartily and deliberately spoke in her ear.

Madam, please don't feel shy. It will be fine when you have more opportunities in the future.

It would be better not to say this harsh explanation of his.

Du Jingyi was originally quite embarrassed, but now he became very shy.

She had never noticed this before.

One reason is because Shang Ji goes out early and comes back late. Most of the time, she doesn't wake up, and the person next to her pillow has gone, leaving only traces of tenderness.

Secondly, every time she woke up, she was just shy and quickly asked someone to come in and help the two of them wash up.

So naturally it was not discovered.

Today's attack frightened her, and she thought that the general had failed last night and would continue to do so today.

So he was so ashamed that his whole body turned red.

Shang Ji picked her up across the brocade quilt.

Such a big movement naturally frightened Du Jingyi, and he immediately said nervously.

What is the general going to do?

Of course I will wait for Madam to bathe and wash herself.

You... don't mess around! If this news gets out, how will I behave?

Hearing this, Shang Ji smiled slyly, but he lost a lot of his usual seriousness.

It's more like a couple doing something slightly out of the ordinary, very calm.

What are you afraid of? This courtyard is full of our people. If the news spreads, I'm afraid the entire courtyard will be investigated again.

As he said this, he hugged her directly and entered the ear room.

Maid Yingying had heard the commotion and originally planned to come and make arrangements for her master before calling.

Who would have thought that the general would just carry the person over.

She was really shocked, ashamed, and a little embarrassed.

Seeing that the master and the servant were competing with each other, their faces turned redder than rouge, Shang Ji stopped joking with him, put Du Jingyi on the imperial concubine's couch in the penthouse, and whispered.

My husband's hands and feet are clumsy. If I hurt my wife later, I'd better let your maid serve you. I'll go next door to wash up too.
