My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 76 Trouble is coming

 “That’s what grandma said.”

Seeing this, Wulang's wife next to her also raised her head and said.

“With Seventh Sister’s beauty and ability, she will surely stand out in Prince Min’s palace. Didn’t the eldest sister back then also achieve such a high position? Seventh Sister’s good fortune will come later.”

 When she said this, others nodded in agreement.

 It's just that Shang Yu'an's wife, Mrs. Ni, felt a little regretful. She felt a little sad that a good child had to go to Israel to serve people like this.

 But the matters concerning the fifth house are not hers to decide.

 Hence, she didn’t say much.

At this point, the people in the fifth house have reached a consensus and want to send Shang Qiniang to Prince Min's palace.

How can I send it? Yet another problem.

 Shang Wulang thought for a while and felt that he might have to find out more about this matter.

 Otherwise, relying on their connections in the fifth house, let alone entering Prince Min's Mansion, it would be a question of whether they could meet a second-class steward there.

 The fifth old man was fond of using other people to make knives, so he patted his chest and said to everyone.

"I'll go find Yu Kuan. After all, he is also the Duke of the country and Qiniang's uncle. If he takes action, the Min Palace will definitely give him three points of noodles."

 Either way, the most valuable thing for a person is self-awareness, and this is what this fifth old man obviously lacks the most.

Always thought that the Duke's Mansion was still as glorious as it was when his eldest brother was around.

Little did he know that without the support of Shang Ji, his nephew who returned to the imperial court in triumph, he would have become a scrap.

Everyone else thought about it and found that there was indeed no one with a higher status than the Duke, so they all thought this method was feasible.

Shang Qiniang has already accepted her fate. If she really enters the prince's house, she is not willing to swallow her anger like she is at home.

The clay figurine still has a temperament, and she wants to give it a try.

In Yingjuan Courtyard, everyone is making plans for Shang Qiniang's future, and they appear to be unprecedentedly united.

On the other hand, in Xitang Courtyard of Dongyuan, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi were sitting under the bright window, drinking tea, and listening to two strangers talking back.

It was as if he had reported everything that had just happened in Yingjuan Courtyard.

Du Jingyi could not help but raise the corners of his mouth while drinking tea.

 “The fish is hooked.”

Having said that, she was still very surprised that Shang Qiniang, who was about to be thrown into the pit of fire by her family, did not resist at all.

If her family wants to force her to be an old man's concubine for power and money, then don't even want the Du family.

She will definitely burn him to pieces.

It is really sad and deplorable.

 In my heart, I have an even greater disdain for those in Wufang.

 But pity is pity, this pity is not caused by her, so she will not stop.

Where is this going? The fun is yet to come.

She thought so, her husband Shang Ji was also inseparable, and said to the two phantom-like subordinates.

“Keep an eye on it and report back if there is anything important.”

 “Subordinates understand!”

Then he jumped out of the window and left, walking as smoothly as if a gust of wind had blown by, leaving no trace at all.

"Wufang is greedy by nature. He only cares about money without caring about Qiniang's future fortune. I don't think you need to do anything. With the fifth uncle here, Yunjin Courtyard will definitely be disturbed."

Shang Ji took a cup of tea and took a sip. The taste was no less than the tea in the palace.

There was a faint smile between his eyebrows, and when he looked at his wife, he felt even more fond of her. She was indeed bold and generous.

But what makes him more comfortable at the moment is that Mrs. Wei is going to be defeated. Wufang wants to take a piece of the Min Palace's pie. It would be strange if Yunjin Courtyard is turned upside down without disturbing it. "The fifth house is easy to deal with. They are all brainless people, and they are also poisoned. I think it is okay, but the third house is more troublesome. There are both chargers and defenders, so they cooperate well."

The chargers in Du Jingyi's mouth are naturally the third old lady and the second man's daughter-in-law, the Guan family.

 The two of them have very powerful mouths, which Du Jingyi has already learned.

On the contrary, Du Jingyi was more afraid of Sanlang's wife, who had been silent behind the scenes, and Shang Liuniang, who was married outside.

Either they are bullied like Si Niang, or they are like dogs that bite but don't bark.

 So, Du Jingyi is more wary of these two people.

After hearing what she said, Shang Ji nodded slightly and agreed with this statement.

He has not grown up in the Duke's mansion since he was a child, so he knows a lot about these relatives but not much.

As Du Jingyi said, a fool in a profession must have a smart person at the helm.

 Hence, it cannot be underestimated.

 After saying this, Du Jingyi fell silent. Shang Ji now felt a little bit of his wife's temperament.

 As long as she acted like this, she was probably holding back a move.

“Trouble is coming, have you figured out how to deal with it?”

“The relatives of the family naturally help, otherwise how can we see them climbing high and falling hard?”

When Du Jingyi said this, there was a cunning sense of realization in his eyes.

For a moment, Shang Ji felt that he was not marrying a wife, but a fox, who just didn't like to move.

Seeing that she was prepared, Shang Ji suppressed his worries.

"Tomorrow I will go back to the military camp to train. If they can't find me, they will naturally come to bother you. I will leave a team of personal guards and spies for you. If there is anything urgent, just ask Liu Xun to deliver the message."

There were two snaps, and a black shadow flashed in.

Kneel down on one knee respectfully, showing absolute loyalty.

He is the Liu Xun mentioned by Shang Ji, and his identity is the chief spy in the Cezhou army.

 In the past, he was mostly responsible for the detailed arrangements of the enemy country Dajin. Now that he has followed Shang Ji back to Sui'an City, there is not much to do.

So he was ordered to stay here to protect Du Jingyi Zhou.

Although Du Jingyi had never seen the appearance of the leader of the spies, he could tell from the obscure aura that he was a very capable person, so he smiled and said.

“Mr. Liu is here to help me with my family matters, but he is overqualified and overqualified.”

 “Young Madam is so complimentary, my subordinates will definitely do their best.”

 At this moment, Liu Xun's impression of Du Jingyi was that she was the general's wife.

Therefore, whatever the general orders, he will do it.

Du Jingyi also understood, so he didn't say much else. He just treated "subordinates" who couldn't control them with courtesy.

Since the two of them met and recognized their faces, Shang Ji felt a lot more relieved.

 “Go.”

"yes."

After saying this, Liu Xun stepped out of the way and disappeared.

Soon, a voice came to Du Jingyi's ear, low and magnetic.

“Liu Xun’s martial arts are not bad. I remember that there is a maid beside you who is also quite strong. But if we really want to protect you, I’m afraid it’s not enough. When she has time, let her learn more martial arts from Liu Xun.”

 “Kung Fu? Is the general talking about Li Zhu?”

"Um."
