My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

As soon as she opened her mouth, Nanny Qin next to her became a little moved, remembering a lot of past events.

The face that already had some lines became more and more wrinkled.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of Shang Ji and others. He put down the hand that was protecting Du Jingyi and bowed respectfully to the inside of the carriage.

Shaoyu has been waiting for my grandmother for a long time.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone else followed suit, bowing and speaking.

I've met my eldest aunt.

Met grandma.

There was a longing for something he hadn't seen in a long time, but also a long-awaited excitement in his tone.

As the leader's carriage and horses were driving, the driver jumped out and opened the door.

Nanny Qin and Gu Xiaolang opened the curtains from left to right, and then they saw an old man who was graceful, rich, and exuding peace and calmness.

Just sitting quietly among the carriages and horses, he had the courage that no one else could do.

Because she was wearing a heavy cloak, she looked a little bloated, but if you look carefully, Mrs. Gu is actually not very fat.

This is the first time Du Jingyi has met Mrs. Gu. In the past, she thought she might be kind or serious.

But I didn't expect that he would be so magnanimous.

But after thinking about it, how could someone who could maintain the glory of the Gu family and still have prestige in Jinling City so many years after the Gu family died in battle could be an ordinary person?

So, he suppressed his suspicions and said nothing more.

Get up, just wait in the house on a snowy day, why bother to take this trip?

Although the words sounded a bit reproachful, there was a rare sense of relief in his tone.

Shang Ji took a step forward and spoke.

What did grandma say? When your old man went north, Shao Yu was already full of shame for not being able to pick him up. Now it's only natural to welcome you here.

After he said these words, Mrs. Gu's already tired body relaxed a lot, and the corners of her mouth had not dropped since she met Shang Ji.

After taking a look at this grandson who looked like her husband for about four to five years, Mrs. Gu also sighed and missed her very much.

Nanny Qin next to her might not have seen Shang Ji for a long time, so she smiled and said hello.

This old slave has met the young general.

This was Nanny Qin who Shang Ji had written to invite to Sui'an City to teach Du Jingyi, so when he saw her, Shang Ji also raised the corner of his mouth and replied in a rare move.

Thank you for your hard work, mama.

Gu Xiaolang, on the other hand, joked as if there was no one around.

Did Cousin Shaoyu only see my grandmother and Nanny Qin? Didn't he see me?

Little girl, you have grown up a lot.

Hearing her words, Gu Xiaolang's face showed a rare shyness, but it only lasted for a moment, and was quickly replaced by joy.

I'm almost seventeen now, so I'm naturally a big girl. Cousin Shaoyu doesn't think I'll never grow up.

Shang Ji stroked her hair lovingly, just like before.

He also hoped that Cousin Lang would never grow up. In this case, he could still live comfortably in the Gu family, and those who loved and cared about him would not leave.

I felt a little regretful in my heart, but my tone was still as close as ever.

It's cold, let's go back to the General's Mansion first. Are there two aunts behind us? I'll go pay my respects first.

Go, go, mother and fourth aunt also want to see cousin Shaoyu.

After Gu Xiaolang said this, he saw Shang Ji walking back, taking three or two steps, and then turned back as if he remembered something.

Then he walked up to Du Jingyi and said.

I was so happy that I forgot. Grandma and the others haven't seen you yet. Come on, follow me.

Just like that, Shang Ji's actions fell into the eyes of everyone.

Mrs. Xing and others have seen too many scenes like this these days, so they all cover their mouths and snicker to watch the fun.

But people like the Gu family had never seen Shang Ji behave like this, so everyone was a little surprised.

Mrs. Gu is well-informed and relatively calm.

On the other hand, Gu Xiaolang's mood swings were a little bigger, and his eyes looking at Du Jingyi were a little unclear.

Du Jingyi also quickly noticed the look from Gu Xiaolang, although she didn't know much about the only child of the Gu family.

But just at that moment, the woman's intuition told her that it was not simple.

After thinking about it, the two of them had just met, so how could there be any discord?

So, she secretly made a promise to her cousin?

Therefore, is he somewhat hostile to himself?

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Shang Ji pulling her to Mrs. Gu's carriage, and then introduced her with a smile.

Grandma, this is my grandson's wife, Du Shi Jingyi.

Du Jingyi behaved himself, and after saluting respectfully, he said.

My granddaughter-in-law, Mrs. Du, has met her grandmother, cousin Lang and Nanny Qin.

Although she came from a merchant family, Queen Guo recognized her rules, which made Nanny Qin look at her with admiration.

When she received the letter in the past, she thought that the young lady didn't understand any rules, so the young general asked her to teach her.

Now it seems that there is nothing irregular about it.

So I turned back to look at Mrs. Gu, and saw her slightly raising her hand and saying kindly.

You're still pregnant with the baby, so there's no need to be so formal. Let's talk about it when we get back if there's anything else.

Thank you grandma for your consideration.

Upon hearing the news that Du Jingyi was pregnant, Gu Xiaolang's eyes flashed with disappointment.

Shang Ji was so busy with the joy of meeting again that he naturally didn't pay attention to the thoughts of these girls, so the only one he saw was Du Jingyi.

In an instant, the suspicion in her heart changed from sixty-seven to eighty-nine.

But it doesn't feel strange when she thinks about it. With such a good man hanging around her eyes every day, she may not be able to like others.

If he hadn't married into the Duke's mansion earlier, I'm afraid that the Shang and Gu families would have got married again.

Thinking of this, Du Jingyi felt a little jealous for some reason.

However, she has a general understanding and will not show it in such an occasion.

Then, after following Shang Ji to pay their respects to the third and fourth aunts, they returned to the carriage and horse they originally rode in.

After everyone was ready, Shang Ji gave the order and everyone slowly returned to the city.

Sui'an City is now very prosperous.

In the past, compared with Jinling City, it seemed like a nouveau riche who had been poor for a long time but suddenly became rich, without any foundation.

But now, after decades of imperial power, he has become a lot more noble.

The majestic imperial city looks like a yellow dragon overlooking the entire Sui'an City from a distance, and there are all kinds of neighborhoods and shops everywhere within the city walls.

The signboard flags were fluttering in the wind, the shop waiters stood at the door and shouted enthusiastically, and the people were all filled with a sense of joy and prosperity.
