My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Hahahaha, interesting, interesting, indeed interesting!

Mr. Du really likes Xing Zhao's temperament.

There was even an idea that came to his mind. If he had a son, he would have to develop such a temperament for fun.

Shang Zhiping shot himself in the foot at this moment.

He obviously didn't say anything but was tricked by Xing Zhao, so he said to Shang Ji with a grimace.

Uncle Six, Uncle Zhao is bullying others!

Unexpectedly, Shang Ji said with the corner of his mouth raised.

It's also a good thing to follow your cousin for a walk and meet him.

Shang Zhiping was helpless. Uncle Liu had already said this, so he couldn't disobey him.

But Mr. Du came up with an idea and said.

There is nothing interesting at home, why not go to the village on the outskirts of the city? I have a village in Wuling, and it is connected to a hot spring. It is most comfortable to soak in it in winter, and there is a forest behind it. Last time I let The forest guards have hunted a lot of game and kept it. We can also go barbecue and eat it, how about it?

This is a good suggestion. The daughter's family may not be interested, but the men are eager to give it a try.

In winter, there is nothing interesting in this city.

So Xing Zhao agreed as soon as he heard it and said to Mr. Du.

Okay, Uncle Du said I want to go immediately, but I have to let my cousin make the decision. After all, I am now a property of the General's Mansion!

As soon as he opened his mouth, not to mention Shang Zhiping, even He Shilin couldn't help laughing.

Shang Ji had nothing to do now at home, so he thought about it and said.

Is my father-in-law's village enough for all of us to go together?

Don't worry, it's definitely enough to live in! You'll know when you go there.

Shang Ji knew from his wife that the Du family was not ordinary rich, so when he heard his father-in-law's affirmative answer, he nodded and said.

Then my son-in-law will ask his grandmother. If she is willing to go, we can go there.

Okay, just look at the arrangements.

Xing Zhao then added.

Uncle Du, don't worry, even if Grandma and the others don't go, I, Heping'er, will definitely be there!

Now, not to mention Xing Zhao, even Luo Yuan was a little eager to try.

He must be not only himself, but also his brothers in the Guards.

I had been training in the army every day, but finally got some free time and stayed in the general's mansion every day. It was really boring.

Therefore, if Xing Zhao wanted to go, he would also like to ask his general to go with him for two days.

He had been following Shang Ji for more than a day or two, so Shang Ji could still see his mood swings and said to him.

Want to go?

I want to go!

Luo Yuan's answer was not muddled at all. Shang Ji thought about it and simply got up to ask.

It's right next door anyway, so it's not very far.

Madam Gu was enjoying herself when she saw her grandson walking in and asked curiously.

Why are Shaoyu here?

Grandma, my father-in-law said that he has a village in Wuling. There are hot springs and game for roasting. If grandma likes it, you can invite everyone to sit there.

Hearing his words, Mrs. Du smiled and took over before Mrs. Gu expressed her position.

This is a good idea, sir. There is not much fun place to play in winter, but the area in Wuling is really nice. It is convenient for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

After hearing Mrs. Du's praise, Mrs. Xing really had the same thoughts as her son.

That sounds really good. Auntie, don't your feet get cold easily? Lots of bubbles are good for your body and bones!

Having said this, what else can be done?

Mrs. Gu said with a kind smile.

Okay, after the banquet is over, we will go there for two days, and it's time to celebrate the New Year when we come back.

Yes, yes, let's just treat the New Year's dinner as a family in advance.

The Du family will definitely not celebrate the New Year in the General's Mansion, so it is a good thing to have this opportunity to get together.

Seeing that his grandmother had come down, Shang Ji went back and told the news.

The happiest people were naturally Xing Zhao and Luo Yuan. Shang Zhiping was a little confused, thinking about going out in such a cold weather, and he didn't know what the fun was.

Unexpectedly, the next second Xing Zhao approached him and whispered in his ear.

I'll take you hunting in the mountains then. Hunting in winter is more interesting.

Hearing this, Shang Zhiping's eyes widened unconsciously. This was the first time for him to go hunting in his life.

I’ve heard of spring hunting and autumn hunting, but I’ve never heard of winter hunting.

Can we still hunt game in this snowy day? He expressed doubts.

But seeing the confidence on Xing Zhao's face, he relaxed a lot and was full of curiosity about going to Wuling next.

It was snowing heavily, but the general's mansion was peaceful.

But now, the ground inside the Duke's Mansion is in a mess.

Dongyuan and Beiyuan are now locked up and construction has begun. Therefore, the huge Guogong Mansion has lost more than half of its space at once and looks a bit cramped.

Especially after going to the General's Mansion, Mrs. Wei began to dislike the Duke's Mansion in her heart.

I feel like everything is nice there, but the Duke's Mansion is dull and old.

She wanted to repair it as well, but she didn't have that much money to support it.

So I can only endure it.

The palace, which was not repaired or not, could at least be occupied by people, but what made Mrs. Wei feel bad was the news that Mrs. Gu was sick.

The couple had just come out of the general's palace, and Shang Ji went to the palace to ask the king to heal him.

No one who has diagnosed her could say that Mrs. Gu was pretending to be ill.

Originally, she had thought of taking the entrance of her daughter Prince Fu's Mansion and entering the General's Mansion.

Now it seems that if the carriages and horses of her Duke's Mansion have just arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, Mrs. Gu will faint again.

Mrs. Wei really shot herself in the foot. Before Shang Ji and Du Jingyi could bear the burden of filial piety on her end, Mrs. Gu's did.

She also used the same trick, leaving her completely helpless.

Moreover, Mrs. Gu is not her biological mother yet. If this matter becomes a big fuss, the outside world doesn't know how to arrange her as a stepmother.

Therefore, there was a lot of peace and quiet in these two days.

Looking at the snow falling outside, she felt anxious to no avail.

On the other hand, Shang Qilang, who was sitting next to him, knew what his mother was feeling, so he comforted her.

Mom, stop thinking about this all day long. Since Mrs. Gu doesn't want to, let's not beg all the time. The New Year is approaching, so we should spend our New Year peacefully.

It doesn't matter whether mother goes or not, but you are in your prime years, and spring is coming. It's the time to make connections. How can you do an occasion like the General's Mansion if you don't go?

After hearing this, Shang Qilang didn't pay much attention.
