My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 42: Frontal confrontation

Du Jingyi smiled, today's affairs must be done beautifully.

First of all, it made everyone in the fifth house and even the entire Guogong Mansion open their eyes and see clearly that Dongyuan was not someone they could bully if they wanted to.

 Secondly, it is also to establish its power when moving to the General's Mansion in the future.

 After all, she will be the one in charge from now on.

 For such a large general's palace, it is natural that there must be hundreds of servants.

If she can't establish this reputation now, I'm afraid she will have some trouble doing things in the future.

Hence, the smile becomes more gentle and touching.

The people in the fifth house don’t know yet that they are about to become Du Jingyi’s food, so they are still putting on airs to get Da Qiao.

 “The young lady is here!”

Steward He raised his voice and shouted loudly to the people in the flower hall, and everyone immediately looked over.

 The fourth lady, Mrs. Ni, stood up slightly, originally intending to salute.

　　After all, according to their status, white people like them have to bow when they see the general's wife.

But it happened that the mother-in-law, husband, son and daughter-in-law who were present were all branded on the buttocks and refused to stand up, so naturally it was not easy for her to stand out.

So he sat down again angrily.

　　Du Jingyi felt ridiculed when he walked in and saw that the noses of this family were not noses and the mouths were not mouths.

I am so used to it that I don’t know how much my bones weigh.

So, he smiled deliberately and said.

“I’ve kept my fifth uncle and grandma waiting for a long time. It’s hard for you to make a trip this early in the morning, but what’s the matter?”

Du Jingyi pretended not to know about the death of Qi Er, and still talked to each other as normal relatives.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wu immediately got angry and said angrily with a cold eyebrow.

"My family is unfortunate. Why did I marry such a disaster like you? My husband didn't even tell me anything after he killed someone. He's such a waste."

If he wanted to come up, he would suppress Du Jingyi's momentum with a loud rebuke. It would be better to scare her, which would make things easier later.

 Therefore, if you show off enough, you must make Du Jingyi feel embarrassed.

As a result, Du Jingyi had no reaction to his display of power, and still said with a smile on his face.

"Hey, my fifth uncle and grandma have eaten something that shouldn't be eaten. They are talking nonsense here. Although I am not from a famous family, I am also the daughter of an innocent family. The matter of marrying into the Duke of Guo's palace was done by the Duke of Guo himself. The marriage was decided after coming to discuss with my parents, with three letters and six engagements, and we were welcomed at the front door."

"Why is it that in the eyes of my fifth uncle and grandmother, it has become a disaster and a waste?"

 When she said this, her face was smiling, but her eyes were cold.

 When she looked at Mrs. Wu, she was quite serious.

The Fourth Lady Ni looked at it and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

It was Wu Lang’s wife next to her who patted the back of her hand, which made her fear go away a lot.

On the other hand, Shang Yu'an and Shang Wulang looked at each other and seemed to find it a bit difficult.

I didn't notice before that Liu Lang's wife was sharp-tongued, but now I realized that she was a tough nut to crack.

The father and son calmed down and planned to take a look at the situation before speaking.

 The fifth old lady was so speechless by her words that she almost couldn't reply.

 But when he thought that he was now the "Heaven" of Wufang, no matter how much fear he had, he disappeared, and he stared at Du Jingyi and said fiercely.

“Bah, you dare to question me no matter who you are?”

Du Jingyi may have been doing business with his parents all over the country for many years, but he has never seen anyone.

 But something like a five-bedroom apartment is really rare.

 But the momentum should not be lost, so he said with a firm tone.

"Since I am the wife of the young prince who entered the palace in a sedan chair, and I am the wife of the second-rank fat cavalry general of the current dynasty, there seems to be nothing wrong with correcting the woman who has no rank or rank in the back house."      伱!”

 The fifth old lady was very angry.

 Not just her, one of the most taboo things in the entire fifth house is their identity.

Obviously the uncle's lineage is a high-ranking official, but their fifth brother is an ordinary commoner who is not worth mentioning.

In recent years, relying on the power of the Duke's Office, a lot of benefits have been gained outside.

 But the more this happens, the more twisted their hearts become.

 I always think that they all crawled out of the belly of the same mother, so there is no distinction between them.

 It's just that they were unlucky.

If it had been their grandfather, the Fifth Old Master, who had followed the founding emperor in the uprising, then it would be him who enjoys all the glory today.

Why do you have to live in the shadow of your uncle like this, and your children and grandchildren will also be wronged?

Du Jingyi looked at Mrs. Wu at this moment, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He stared at her fiercely like his hair was exploding, and he was eager to find an opportunity to come up and scratch her twice.

 And Mrs. Wu did not disappoint Du Jingyi's guess.

As expected, he was as stupid as a pig, so he stood up, raised his palm fiercely, and cursed in his mouth.

 “You dare to humiliate me, I will tear your mouth apart!”

The slap was about to come down, but Butler He and Aunt Dou were so frightened that they hurriedly stopped them.

But Du Jingyi stood in front of him calmly, looking at him with a half-smile.

 And her palm was raised high, and before it landed in front of Du Jingyi, Li Zhu knocked her straight to the ground with a sweeping kick.

　　Then he immediately restrained the fifth old lady's throat in a grabbing posture.

 And the palm she had just raised was now folded behind her in a weird posture.

With a click, the bone was dislocated.

After being knocked down like this, Mrs. Wu almost couldn’t get up.

Li Zhu, who was kneeling on her body, had murderous intent in his eyes at the moment, and calmly spat out every word.

“There are not many people who dare to touch the young lady who can leave this door standing!”

 At this point, everyone reacted.

On weekdays, looking at a general girl, she can do martial arts, and it is not good.

 Otherwise, how could he defeat the enemy with one move and show such killing intent?

 The speed was so fast that no one expected it.

By the time she reacted, the wails of the fifth old lady had already spread throughout the flower hall.

Shang Yu'an and Shang Wulang were shocked and ran over immediately, saying anxiously.

"What do you want to do? Why don't you let my grandmother go quickly?"

“It’s outrageous. A little maid dares to cause trouble in the Duke’s mansion. Beating the master is a capital offense. Are you tired of living?”

As they spoke, the two of them were about to step forward to hold Li Zhu's hand, but they were surrounded by the Dongyuan boys who rushed in from outside.

Seeing that the good situation was suddenly like a turtle in a urn, no matter how loud Shang Yuan's voice was, it died down at this moment.

Took his son Shang Wulang and took a step back, looked at Du Jingyi with fear and said.

"What do you want to do?"

Du Jingyi smiled, then sat down, and then said calmly.
