My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

 Chapter 77: Establishing the Way of Life (Additional updates for collection)

Du Jingyi was a little confused at first, but he quickly came to his senses.

 Li Zhu must have blocked the attack of Mrs. Wu for herself, so Shang Ji knew about it.

After thinking about it for a while, he didn’t agree immediately. Instead, he spoke breathlessly.

“When Li Zhu was at home, she learned some basic skills from the bodyguard at home, but if she really wants to practice martial arts with Mr. Liu, I need to ask her first. After all, she will be the one doing the hard work.”

 Shang Ji was a little surprised when she said these words.

 Since he became conscious, the most common thing he heard in the military was obedience.

 Over time, he also developed the habit of being a superior person.

 Habitually give orders to subordinates and arrange everything well.

But the lady in front of me is different. Thinking about it carefully, she hardly ever forces herself on the maids.

　　In the past, I thought she was lazy and didn't want to think too much, but now it seems that she actually has a heart to treat others equally.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

 It's just that I used tea to cover up the past.

 The two of them have different backgrounds and backgrounds. He will appreciate Du Jingyi's approach, but it does not mean that he will do the same.

 What is needed in the army is absolute obedience and supreme control.

 Otherwise, if an army of hundreds of thousands of people has to take everyone’s thoughts into account, how can they talk about enforcing orders and prohibiting the army and guarding the land and protecting the people?

“Okay, then you can arrange this yourself.”

 “I know it.”

 The couple talked for a while and did not continue to dwell on the matter.

 They came to block it with soldiers, and covered it with water and earth.

But the Duke Shang Yukuan did not have the spies to inform him of the news in advance, so he was blocked.

 The fifth old man is a man who does what he says, and there is no ambiguity at all.

 Go straight to the gate of Yunjinyuan.

 Seeing his menacing approach, both Shang Yukuan and Mrs. Wei were confused.

 After all, she is currently focused on celebrating her husband’s birthday in a few days, so she hasn’t heard of anything worth causing trouble at home recently.

 But I have been pretending for decades, and I won’t show any flaws now.

 So he raised a decent and calm expression and said to the fifth old man.

"Why did the wind invite the fifth uncle here? Fast forward, fast forward, some new tea happened to be here, let the fifth uncle have a try."

Mrs. Wei is able to stay humble and be smaller than Mrs. Gu in the past.

 In the past, it would have been very rare to hear such a soft remark, but now, you can hear it almost every time, so you don’t think it’s a big deal.

People are like this. When others suppress them, they will be humble and humble. When others respect them, they will take advantage of Qiao's strength.

 So the fifth old man put up his musical score in a big way and walked in with his head held high.

I don’t know if I thought he was showing off because he was powerful, but in fact he came to ask for help.

 He sat down, and the fourth master and Shang Wulang who followed him also sat down.

 The Duke of the State, Shang Yukuan, has a gentle temperament. Although he and the Fifth Old Master were somewhat unhappy when he received the imperial edict, it had already been more than half a month since the incident. Moreover, he was punished and sent to guard the tomb for ten days before returning, so he naturally forgot about what he should have been angry about, so his smile was considered sincere.

The maids in Yunjin Courtyard respectfully left after serving tea.

Mrs. Wei glanced at the three grandparents and grandsons from left to right, and she knew that today's matter was not simple.

So I was extremely vigilant in my heart. If they asked for money, I would have something to say no to them.

On the contrary, the fifth old man took a look at the tea cup. He used to think it was a good thing, but now he looks down on it.

He was so satisfied that he seemed to have established a relationship with Prince Min's Mansion, so much so that he didn't even remember who he was.

So he said to Shang Yukuan rather arrogantly.

"Goudan'er, my fifth uncle came here today to tell you something. The old prince of Min Palace has taken a liking to our seventh mother and said he wanted to take her as his concubine. Are you here? Why don't you just find out what day and time it is and just come to them to settle the matter with them?"

Shang Yukuan was confused after what he said, and Mrs. Wei next to her frowned fiercely after hearing this.

 Min Palace?

How come they suddenly fell in love with Shang Qiniang, who was always at home, despite having nothing to do with the government?

She didn't want to believe it.

 But it seemed that what the fifth old man said was certain, so he asked tentatively.

"Could it be that the fifth uncle is drunk and talking nonsense? The old prince of Prince Min has fallen in love with Qiniang? And he wants to take her as his concubine? Why don't you and I know any news?"

 The Fifth Old Master does not like Mrs. Wei at all at this moment. Anyone who wants to prevent him from getting the 10,000 taels of bride price should get out of here.

Hence, his tone was no longer as polite as before. He opened his mouth and returned to his original nature, speaking maliciously and mockingly at Mrs. Wei.

"What? You girl can climb into King Fu's bed, why don't we have a decent person in the fifth room? Who are you looking down on?"

"you…"

Mrs. Wei's face turned ugly when she was suddenly scolded by the Fifth Old Master.

Auntie's affairs have always been a worry for her. She didn't expect that Auntie's idea was so powerful at first, and she would do it like this regardless of her reputation.

By the time she found out, she had already hooked up with King Fu.

 What can she do?

After all, it is a child that came out of your own belly, so you can't just ignore it.

 Fortunately, things took a turn for the better with King Fu, and they were able to escape the disaster. Otherwise, they would have been living a miserable life in Zhuangzi now.

 Therefore, this matter is an unspeakable taboo in Mrs. Wei's heart.

Today, the fifth old man said it as an attack and ridicule, and Mrs. Wei was immediately unhappy.

Mrs. Wei is also a good person, and she always shows her weakness in front of Shang Yukuan.

Seeing this scene, it was natural that his eyes would turn red and he would cry.

"What are you doing, Uncle Five? Isn't this stabbing someone's heart with a knife? How long has it been since my aunt's incident has passed? People outside say that she should just let it go. Are we, the whole family, going to use this matter to punish her?"

"She took the wrong path, but she also brought back a powerful husband for the family. Without her help these years, the Duke's Mansion would not have been so smooth. You are eating and drinking outside in the name of the Duke's Mansion. When you are having fun, why don't you think about who is taking care of the aftermath for you?"

 “You have to tear your face apart to speak?”

He was crying and wiping away tears while talking, which made the fifth old man a little unhappy.

What he hated most was the sound of women crying. Just as he was about to explode, he was stopped by Shang Siye and Shang Wulang.

His eyes signaled him not to speak anymore, and instead it was them and his son who comforted him.

"Sister-in-law has misunderstood my father. He speaks so straightforwardly. You know that, don't you? Don't argue with him. What we are talking about is a good thing. When you cry, it seems like we are forcing you? "
