My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

The fourth aunt never thought that the only way out for a woman was to get married. Even if there was only such a way to choose from, she would still choose someone who could help her and work together hand in hand.

Instead of weighing the pros and cons of the best choice, there is no initiative.

Her words made Gu Xiaolang burst into tears.

I immediately threw myself into my fourth aunt's arms and started crying.

It was precisely because the elders in the family loved and cared for her above all else that sometimes Gu Xiaolang didn't even want to marry outside.

When she cried, her third aunt also started crying, and everyone in the room was filled with sadness.

When Shang Ji came over, he happened to encounter this scene.

Standing outside the house, I didn't dare to open the door and go in.

If he hadn't met Du Jingyi, I'm afraid he might have married this cousin for the sake of the Gu family in the end.

But that's not what he wants.

Therefore, no matter how much he couldn't bear it, he would not bother him at this time. He turned around and left very decisively.

After returning to Xitang Courtyard, my sister-in-law Liu and my aunt Mrs. Xing had already left.

Therefore, Du Jingyi was the only one leaning on the couch, wanting to rest for a while.

As soon as he saw Shang Ji walking in, Du Jingyi was a little confused when he saw that his face was not good-looking.

Isn’t the banquet good today?

So he asked softly.

General, what's going on?

Shang Ji walked forward and sat down next to her, as if this was the only way to relax his slightly guilty heart.

I originally wanted to go to Xu Laiyuan to visit my grandmother, but I overheard their conversation at the door. The Guo family was interested in cousin Lang, but my grandmother and fourth aunt were very opposed to it.

be opposed to?

Although Du Jingyi could also see some of Mrs. Gu's thoughts, she was still a little surprised by such direct opposition.

Well, they don't want cousin Lang to marry because of family affairs. They are afraid that they will not have a good life in the future and will not have the chance to divorce.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi also understood their worries.

But I understand, but from her point of view, I don't really agree.

There has never been a relationship in this world that cannot be relied upon. Even if Shang Ji is as strong as he is, it is only because of the Gu family that he is what he is today.

The same goes for the marriage with the Guo family.

Instead of worrying about the rest of your life, it’s better to lay a solid foundation from the beginning.

Anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, the forces represented by the Guo family, the Gu family and Shang Ji have long been the prince's party, so whether they marry or not will not actually affect the opinions of outsiders.

Perhaps there was also the issue that the Gu family knew Gu Xiaolang's intentions, so they were unwilling to force him.

But in Du Jingyi's opinion, this marriage is indeed a good one.

Since many people in the Gu family have concerns and are unwilling to take it, Xue Niang can take a look.

On the one hand, you don’t have to marry far away, and on the other hand, you will be loved by many people.

It's just that everything about the Guo family's Shiro is suitable externally, so the only thing that needs to be examined is his character.

At this point, she, a housewife, is really beyond her power.

Therefore, he told Shang Ji the purpose of his sister-in-law's visit today.

After listening, Shang Ji also fell silent.

A housewarming banquet at the General's Mansion actually made the fourth son of the Guo family a favorite.

Neither Shang Ji nor Du Jingyi expected this.

But now that the problem has been posed, the couple must solve it.

Therefore, Shang Ji said after much thought.

Since grandma and the others have no interest in the Guo family, let's forget about it. I will see the prince another day and talk about the Snow Lady incidentally. One is my cousin and the other is my biological sister. No matter which one she is, I guess. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is happy to see this happen.”

After hearing this, Du Jingyi also agreed very much.

However, the couple had good ideas, but things in this world were a bit twisty and unexpected.

After the housewarming party, we rested for two days.

Those who mobilized troops in the general's mansion went to Zhuangzi in Wuling.

Naturally, what was said to the outside world was that Mrs. Gu was not feeling well and needed to recuperate for a few days.

Everyone knows that there are many hot spring pools in Wuling, so they don't find it strange, except that the Duke's Mansion received some scolding.

The carriages and horses of the General's Mansion set off one after another, and Shang Ji's personal guards followed behind them, so they occupied a small half of the street.

It's just that they were all kind-hearted and polite people, so it didn't cause much disturbance.

On the contrary, the Duke's Mansion has done nothing these days, as if someone is targeting him, and old stories are constantly being uncovered and dirty water thrown at him.

In Yunjin Courtyard.

Princess Fu looked sullen, while Mrs. Wei and Shang Silang sitting next to her were also unhappy.

Silang's wife did not show up because she had to take care of Shang Zhihe.

As for the Duke Shang Yukuan, he did not ask anything about anything.

Therefore, only the daughter and two sons of Mrs. Wei were present at this moment, including the reluctant Shang Qilang.

The words outside are so unpleasant. I wish I could say that our lineage is all evil-hearted, and your father doesn't care. I really have no choice, so I called you three brothers and sisters to come over and give me some advice.

Ever since Mrs. Gu fainted over and over again because of people from the Wei family, the people who had been in contact with them had become polite.

The New Year is approaching, and sending some New Year gifts that are neither salty nor bland is just following the old rules and not at all as serious as before.

Mrs. Wei could feel that the circle of ladies in Sui'an City was alienating her intentionally or unintentionally.

This is not a good thing, especially when Shichiro's scientific examination is about to take place, it is the time to make connections.

Last time, Shang Ji blocked the door and couldn't get in.

And now, Shang Qilang is feeling very sad because he has encountered obstacles in poetry gatherings one after another.

The situation of Princess Fu was not much better.

Originally, she relied on Prince Fu Fu and Princess Yuehua to gain some respect in front of everyone, but now because of Mrs. Gu's attitude, many people are at odds with her. She has always had a harsh temper and can't bear it. No.

So, he spoke.

Mother, why don't we let my grandfather's family find a time to hold a banquet? In our own territory, it's natural to want to save some face.

I have never thought about it, but now that the Chinese New Year is only a few days away, we have to wait until after the Lantern Festival to organize the banquet.

Mrs. Wei was also anxious, but she had to hold back the punches she struck, and she was holding her breath.

And I have asked my father and brother carefully. They mean to use Jialian's hairpin gift to hold a big party. Can't the Gu family invite people from the royal family? The same goes for the Wei family. They will not send the same post. Go to the General's Mansion, since they want to do things in a quarrel, then we don't have to be polite.
