My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

When he was shocked to realize this, he couldn't sit still anymore, turned around and said to Prince Fu and Shang Silang.

Today is the day for the Guo family to hire someone. I had already agreed that I would go there. But since the delay has reached this point, I won't tell your mother and will go over first.

After saying that, he left without looking back.

But this time, neither King Fu nor Shang Silang stopped him, because they knew that no matter how much they tried to stop him, it would be useless, and the matters at the General's Mansion had probably been settled long ago, so there was no point in going there.

Therefore, he went his own way, and the Spring Banquet in the Princess Mansion was not unable to be held because of the lack of a Duke.

On the other hand, when Wei Taiwei and Wei Mingxian heard that Shang Yukuan rushed to support Xue Niang, their faces were not troubled. In their hearts, this son-in-law (brother-in-law) was not a very important person.

Just let him go.

The driver was asked to rush all the way, frightening many people passing by.

When they arrived in front of the General's Mansion, the door was already closed.

Go, knock, and say I'm here.

yes.

The driver quickly dismounted and ran towards the gate of the General's Mansion, still chanting.

General, open the door, the Duke is here!

Unfortunately, even though he howled for most of the day, he didn't see any movement inside. Instead, the people around him gathered around him in twos and threes.

Those who were bold enough not to cause trouble shouted.

The Guo family has been gone for several hours, and someone from the Duke's residence is coming just now? Is it too late?

That's right, the last time Prime Minister Guo came to Nacai in person, he didn't see anyone from the Duke's mansion, and now there's no one here either. Zizhen, it's true that my mother is dead, and my father doesn't even take it seriously. !”

These words, every word, were like sharp swords piercing into the heart of the Duke.

He wanted to lift the curtain and go out to argue, but he didn't dare to face everyone's eyes, so he hid in the carriage and stamped his feet anxiously.

Why don't you open the door yet?

Naturally, he also knew that he was guilty of being the first, but after being tolerant for so many years, he would not really fall out this time, so he is still dreaming about it until now.

Unfortunately, there are some mistakes that cannot be tolerated a hundred times.

In the past, Shang Ji still had a trace of father-son affection for the Duke of Guo, but now it has long since disappeared.

The coachman knocked for a quarter of an hour but no one came to open the door. He turned back to the carriage in despair, and then said to Shang Yukuan.

Sir, what should we do? The General's Mansion is closed.

What to do? I also want to know what to do?

Shang Yukuan had no idea at first, and now it was even more chaotic. Seeing more and more people gathering outside, he did not dare to stay any longer for fear of causing some disturbance.

So I could only sigh a few times, and then said to the coachman.

Let's go back to the Duke's Mansion first.

Yes, sir.

After the carriage of the Duke's Mansion left, Butler He behind the door walked toward Xu Laiyuan with a cold face. He wanted to give the news to the general.

In Xu Lai's courtyard, Mrs. Gu tried hard to persuade her for a long time, but she was already defeated.

So, no matter how hard I try to persuade you, you just won't listen? Do you have to change your last name?

Grandma forgives her grandson. This matter is inevitable.

Mrs. Gu could only sigh deeply, and then fell into endless silence.

Deep down in her heart, she was extremely happy for her grandson to have such a reaction, because this way the Gu family would have someone to support her, even if she died at this moment, it would all be with a smile on her face.

But from the reality of the situation, she knew that the obstacles would not be small. Even if he changed his surname to Gu and became a member of the Gu family, she was afraid that the danger and turmoil would not subside.

Now she still has the tone and is still a bit intimidated by those people.

If she was gone and he and Du Jingyi were left to support the Gu family, she would also feel heartbroken.

After decades of ups and downs, she understood that the Gu family was both an honor and a shackle, so she couldn't bear to let her grandson and grandson's wife be trapped in it just like she and her husband were back then.

As for Shang Ji's strong character, Mrs. Gu had laid out all the obstacles in front of him and could not change it. In the end, Mrs. Gu could only sigh.

He said with a much softened expression.

I used to say that your grandfather was a stubborn person, but now it seems that he has someone to inherit his mantle. You are just like him, and the things you are sure of just don't make sense.

So, grandma agreed?

I don't agree, do you agree?

disagree.

That's it, but it's better to wait until your wife gives birth before telling anyone about it. Otherwise, I'm afraid the endless worries and trivial matters will affect her ability to raise the baby.

My grandson knows that there is no rush in this matter, but I have already told Prime Minister Guo and my aunt that with their support, it will be smoother for my grandson to handle this matter.

Shang Ji smiled, looking a little more cunning now.

Mrs. Gu also smiled at him, her expression full of kindness.

Outside, Butler He's voice rang, and he was heard shouting.

General, the Duke didn't come in for a quarter of an hour after knocking on the door. He just left.

Oh, I see.

With just four words, their few relationship between father and son was settled. Shang Ji never hesitated on this point.

He is not the one he cares about, so he only needs to know every move of the Duke of Guo, and no longer cares about him.

When are you going to have a showdown with your father?

My grandson has no plans.

You want to come straight?

There are a lot of snakes and rats in the Duke's Mansion. Let them know in advance that it will be a lot of trouble, so I just choose the right time to open it up in front of the world. I am too lazy to talk nonsense with them.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu also nodded. She also agreed to cut the knot quickly.

After all, she still knows what kind of virtue this uncle is.

Okay, then you can look at the arrangements. Grandma will support you if necessary!

yes.

At this point, the big event of changing the surname has taken root in the hearts of everyone in the General's Mansion. Everyone knows that when this matter is revealed, it will cause an uproar in the world, but everyone is also looking forward to this day. .

As if I could put an end to the past, I was full of longing.

After returning to Xitang Courtyard, Shang Ji relaxed and looked at Du Jingyi and nodded with a smile.

Grandma also said that I was a stubborn person. She was really hard to persuade. My mouth and tongue were dry.

After saying this, Du Jingyi poured him a cup of hot tea and comforted him with a smile.

But I finally convinced him otherwise, so the general should be happy.

I'm happy, of course I'm happy, but grandma wants to take a long-term view after you give birth to the child.
