My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

The couple lay down and chatted for a while, until Du Jingyi got a little hungry and then got up.

Cherry was already used to this point and helped the two of them wash up. So after briefly ordering some cakes, Du Jingyi went to take a shower and change clothes.

She didn't like eating like this when she was all sticky, so she still struggled for half an hour before coming out. Shang Ji had washed up early and was waiting outside. When he saw her coming out, he gave orders.

Call someone to serve food.

Yes, General.

The dishes on the table are mainly meat. Danruo girl is getting more and more experienced in cooking. Not only is the meat mostly meat, but there are also various supplements. Du Jingyi looks puzzled, when will they have such things on their dining table? Something?

So Cherry explained on the side.

It was sent by Nanny Qin who is with the old lady. She said that she would cook it more for the young lady in the future and eat it for a while. It would be good for her health.

Upon hearing this, Shang Ji smiled playfully at his wife, saying, You see what I said, right?

Du Jingyi was helpless, but for the sake of her health, she still drank it.

Unexpectedly, it was not unpleasant to drink, and it also had a slight aftertaste, so she no longer had any objections and just regarded it as an extra bowl of bird's nest soup.

It was said to be lunch, but by the time we finished eating, it was already Shen Chu.

Therefore, the couple rushed towards Xu Laiyuan, intending to take Brother Tai to the Du family. Unexpectedly, the child was sleeping soundly, so they had no choice but to visit Mrs. Gu.

This time, the three of them knew it well, so they didn't say much. Mrs. Gu only asked the couple to take good care of themselves, and both of them answered yes.

After talking about wanting to return to the Du family again, Mrs. Gu said in a considerate manner.

This farewell lasts only half a year. You should go quickly so that your father-in-law and mother-in-law can visit you more often.

Thank you grandma for your consideration.

So the two of them said goodbye to Mrs. Gu and rushed towards the Du family.

On the road, the vendors were still shouting, but you could already see the white breath coming out of their mouths. There were not many pedestrians compared to usual, so the two of them took a quick look and did not lift the curtain again.

Instead, while sitting in the carriage, Du Jingyi told Shang Ji everything that had happened in the past few days. There was nothing else. The most important things were two things, one was the death of the fourth prince and the other was the death of the fifth prince. Fang's arrangements for Guo and Shang Qiniang.

While listening, Shang Ji was silent, but after Du Jingyi finished speaking, Shang Ji spoke.

As for the fourth prince's concubine, please tell the spy to stop investigating. If it attracts the attention of people in the palace, it will be detrimental to you. We will be away for half a year. We may not be sure what it will be like when we come back. We will see when the time comes. It depends on the situation.

But what I mean when I look at Wei Jialian is that I can't wait any longer. Maybe she will be in charge when we come back.

Isn't it just right to be in the position? Do you think the concubines in the fourth prince's harem are vegetarians? Especially the concubine Ying, who is also related to Princess Yuehua. Just look at it, and when they bite dogs, you and I There is no need to get involved, just look at it with a cold eye.”

Then seeing that Du Jingyi's brows still didn't relax, Shang Ji explained more.

The prince and Guo Xiang have already made arrangements for this matter, so you don't have to get involved.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi understood.

The death of the fourth princess may have been a surprise to everyone, but she wanted to get to the bottom of it, so as to prevent enemies from making secret moves. However, the prince and Prime Minister Guo wanted to use their strength to fight and use this matter to kill many people. Secretly hostile relationships were involved, and the final blow came to a head.

After understanding this meaning, Du Jingyi no longer struggled.

I understand. When you get back, tell them there is no need to investigate.

Well, as for Shang Qiniang's matter, we can follow up. Prince Min's Mansion seems to be a big fish that can catch things.

Du Jingyi nodded, and the couple both thought of one thing.

We talked about this matter for a while along the way, and by the time we got to the Du family, everything that needed to be arranged was almost done.

Master Du and Mrs. Du were still a little shocked when they saw Shang Ji appear.

I thought it would take some time for the second uncle to come back, why did he come so soon?

Everything in the army has been arranged. I should have arrived last night, but unfortunately it was a little late. I was delayed and couldn't wish my father-in-law on his birthday. It's my son-in-law's fault, so I came here to apologize today.

As my second uncle said, state affairs take priority, and birthdays can be celebrated at any time. Besides, Tangtang and Brother Tai were here yesterday, and we were all happy. It doesn't matter, just don't worry about it.

After hearing this, Shang Ji still clasped his fists in salute, and then gave him a congratulatory gift.

When I was suppressing bandits, my son-in-law went to the Huaishan Mountains and happened to meet a black bear, so he hunted it by the way. The fur happened to be good, and he had it processed and made into a cloak and kneepads. I hereby give it to my father-in-law. I hope you take care of it. The body is.

Du Jingyi did not expect that his husband's gift would be this. He thought it would be some kind of gold, stone and jade, but it turned out to be a bearskin cloak that he hunted by himself. It was really unbelievable.

There are still black bears in Huaishan? You can actually hunt them?

Well, I happened to come across it, so I hunted.

Shang Ji said it in an understatement, but everyone present knew that hunting a bear was not a simple matter. Du Jingyi swallowed his saliva and said.

General, you are not injured, are you?

No, but Luo Yuan was slapped. Fortunately, he dodged quickly, so it was nothing serious.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi expressed quickly.

Then when I get back, I will send a bottle of medicine to Deputy General Luo.

Shang Ji smiled. In fact, the military doctors had seen it and it was nothing serious. However, Du Jingyi was concerned about the safety of his lieutenant, which was a good thing, so he nodded in agreement.

Mr. Du opened the box with great joy. The bearskin cloak inside was made according to his size. It fit perfectly and kept warm. Not long after he put it on, his forehead started to sweat slightly, but he couldn't bear to take it off.

He said with relief in his eyes.

My second uncle is very capable, but don't take risks like this next time. It's just a big cloak, we just bought it for use.

Buy? Such good leather is expensive but not available. Where can I buy it? I think you won't even be able to take off this cloak this winter.

Mrs. Du said jokingly.

Shang Ji and Du Jingyi also laughed out loud, and the family spent the night happily.

Early the next morning, Shang Ji entered the palace, accompanied by Mrs. Gu and Du Jingyi, and the three of them went to say goodbye to His Majesty and Queen Guo.

In the imperial study, Du Jingyi met His Majesty the Emperor of Daxing Dynasty for the first time.
