My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Mrs. Wei naturally followed up, but unfortunately she was stopped by Nanny Qin.

She was originally kind-hearted, but now she said expressionlessly.

The old lady only said to invite the Duke to come in and meet her. As for Mrs. Wei, it's better to wait outside.

One sentence made Mrs. Wei very embarrassed.

Looking at Shang Yukuan, his eyes were full of grievance.

This... this is not appropriate, Nanny Qin. We are here together to meet my mother-in-law, so why not let her in?

The old slave is only responsible for passing on the news. If the Duke has any dissatisfaction, he can tell the old lady himself.

She looked so indifferent that Shang Yukuan didn't dare to say anything.

Originally, he was always a bit conceited when facing the Gu family, not to mention that they were still dwarves now.

He had no choice but to say to Mrs. Wei.

Just wait, I'll go in and have a few words with my mother-in-law and then come out.

master……

Mrs. Wei was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.

In the end, she had no choice but to watch Shang Yukuan enter the door, and then she was blowing the cold wind in the corridor, and no one came out to guide her to sit in the side room.

What a waste of time to be humiliated like this.

Shang Yukuan felt a lot warmer as soon as he entered the house. Compared with the outside, it was as comfortable as a spring day here.

He was a little surprised, but he didn't know why.

Looking around, he felt that this house seemed different from the previous ones, but before he could speak, he saw Mrs. Gu already in front of her.

Over the years, Shang Yukuan was a little scared every time he saw Mrs. Gu.

This kind of fear is not because of any wrongdoing, but simply because I feel that Mrs. Gu's aura is too strong, so I can only smile and salute to Mrs. Gu.

My son-in-law has met my mother-in-law. How is your mother-in-law?

Mrs. Gu didn't even raise her head, she just took the tea at hand and drank it.

As for Gu Xiaolang, he had already hid behind the screen on the inside. After all, this was the home of an unmarried girl and it was not easy to meet outsiders too much.

Seeing that Mrs. Gu didn't answer, Shang Yukuan was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.

Seeing that the sweat was about to break out on her forehead, Mrs. Gu slowly spoke.

The Duke is worried, my old lady is very good.

Hearing this, Shang Yukuan breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly.

Mother-in-law, please stay longer when traveling north this time, so that I...let Rokuro, Xue Niang and the others do their best to fulfill their filial piety.

When he said this, he was somewhat sincere, but it was a pity that Mrs. Gu showed a hint of ridicule when she heard it.

Since Mrs. Gu's absence, he has had very little contact with the Gu family.

In the past few years, I would still think of sending something to Jinling City, but now I would only send the same thing to the Wei family.

He was truly an emperor and a courtier, and his heart felt so cold.

Mrs. Gu's expression did not change, she only glanced at him coldly, and then spoke bluntly.

Master Guo, just tell me if you have anything to do. Our friendship does not warrant such talk.

Hearing this, Shang Yukuan's face turned very ugly.

Mrs. Gu's directness made him a little embarrassed, and he naturally knew that he was in no position to say the following words.

But for the sake of the people in his family, he had to make this trip, so he had to speak out no matter how difficult it was.

Mother-in-law is joking. When you return from the north this time, you will naturally hold a reception banquet. My son-in-law heard that all the posts in the General's Mansion on the 19th have been sent out, and many members of the royal family have been invited, so... …So I thought I should bring the children over to have fun, after all, we are all a family.”

After hearing what he said, not to mention Mrs. Gu, even Nanny Qin felt disgusted.

It sounds like they are here to be lively, but in fact, don’t they just want to get in touch with these dignitaries?

Of the two sons and one daughter born by Webster, only Shang Qilang is left unaccounted for. It seems that this is what the couple had planned.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu said with a smile.

My wife is not the one who can make the decision in this General's Mansion. I shouldn't have to interfere with whether you come or not. If you want to come, you can talk to Shao Yu yourself.

But my old lady would like to remind you that you and we can barely be considered a family. As for those in the Duke's Mansion, don't get involved. My old lady is old and cannot withstand stimulation. If someone accidentally lets this happen, If something bad happens, hey, Lord, I'm afraid the merchants won't be able to keep it.

Although the words were spoken softly and skillfully, they sounded very threatening.

Shang Yukuan is a person who cannot stand pressure. Not to mention when facing Mrs. Gu, even when facing his own son Shang Ji, he always gives priority to compromise.

He was sweating profusely in an instant and said with a smile.

Mother-in-law, are you kidding? They are all the children of our businessman. How can we not be a family?

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu stared at him carefully for a while, staring at the Duke Shang Yukuan until her back felt a little cold, before she spoke.

Since the Duke wants to discuss it with me, let's discuss it.

They are all the children of merchants? Why is there no Da Lang? Why does Liu Lang live in the Gu family forever? What kind of life is Xue Niang living? And Ping'er! Aren't their surnames Shang?

Master Guo, if it weren't for your father's life-saving grace, would my old lady like you? Marrying Yun He into the Duke's palace is the only wrong thing I have done in my life. You are not worthy of being a human being. My husband is not worthy of being a father!

If you still have any sense of shame, please go back with the new wife outside the door. My old lady can still turn a blind eye and tolerate two points. If you want to play tricks on the face of your Duke's palace, If you come to this general's mansion, don't blame me for being rude!

She was full of energy when she said these words.

Even though he is now a seventy-year-old man with gray hair, his power from the past has not diminished at all.

Hearing Mrs. Gu's question, Shang Yukuan immediately panicked and knelt on the ground and hurriedly explained.

Mother-in-law, you have wronged me. This man is my first child. How can I not be sad when he dies of illness? But life has to go on, and I can't live for him.

As for President Liulang living in the Gu family, it's because he has loved wielding swords and guns since he was a child. You also know that since the death of my father, the power of the Duke's mansion has not been as strong as before. As a father, I can't let it go because I am incompetent. You must have held the child back, so you sent him to the Gu family.

And Xue Niang and He'er, haven't they all grown up well? Why do my mother-in-law say this, as if my son-in-law has treated them harshly.
