My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 78 Putting on airs

“It’s true that my eldest aunt is kind-hearted and my eldest sister is also capable. When I made friends with friends outside these years, whoever heard that I had a cousin named Princess Fu wouldn’t take a second look, right?”

The father and son would serve Mrs. Wei honey. After hearing this, Mrs. Wei's crying finally stopped a lot.

 But when I wiped my tears in the dark, there was still a flash of disgust for the Fifth Old Master.

Seeing this, Shang Yukuan also came out to smooth things over and said.

“It’s a good thing that Qiniang can find a good home, but I haven’t figured out what’s going on. Maybe my fourth cousin will explain it to me.”

"OK."

 Then Shang Wulang opened his mouth and told everything he heard.

 At this point, Shang Yukuan and Mrs. Wei finally understood.

 The feeling is that after knowing the news, I rushed to send Qiniang to the prince's house. However, because Wufang didn't have any connections, I "asked" them to come here.

If Shang Yukuan is to use the dignity of the Duke's Palace as a foil to Shang Qiniang, I have to say that these five houses are really good at planning.

 It’s just a bit shameless.

But when I think about those days and things in the past, not many people in Wufang want to face it.

Mrs. Wei was silent. She was obviously here to ask for help, yet she was so bossy.

She is not a living Bodhisattva, yet she was rushing to be a matchmaker for her niece who was separated by several generations.

Besides, if being a matchmaker can really help the family, she might be able to put some thought into it.

This fifth house looks like a white-eyed wolf at first glance. If Qiniang gets involved, I don’t know how much trouble it will cause.

 At the moment, she has no time to pay attention to people like Wufang, so naturally she is not willing to help.

She was silent, and Shang Yukuan was a person without any opinions.

 So he said with some embarrassment.

“Fourth brother, it’s not that I don’t help with this matter, it’s that I have little contact with the Min Palace. You also know that I only have a casual position in the court. If you really want to talk about it, it is not as important as Liu Lang.”

“Even if I have the intention to go to Qiniang’s house, I still don’t see anyone paying attention to me.”

 What he said was true, but it fell into the ears of the Fifth Old Master as a shirk.

　　I immediately slapped the table and jumped up.

"Hey, is this plot now on the table? I don't want to think about your father escaping to fight, who gave you food and drink, and kept you at home. What, now it is so powerful that they don't recognize our poor family. Are you a relative? How about I go to the ancestral hall, kneel down and cry under your father’s memorial tablet, and ask him to see how his good son treated his uncle?"

The threatening tone could not be more obvious, and Mrs. Wei's face darkened again and again.

After all these years, I still don’t feel embarrassed about the three melons and two dates. It’s really a joke.

 The little friendship that they had before has been returned long ago, otherwise they wouldn't have been left in the Duke's mansion for so many years.

 But whenever something happened, he would say these words incessantly. His mouth didn't hurt when he said it, and Mrs. Wei's ears felt like calluses.

In the past, she might have helped her master by saying no.

 But now, she wanted to see even more, if they just wouldn't let go, could the five-room people eat them?

Shang Yukuan was embarrassed, and turned to look at Mrs. Wei.

It's a pity that Mrs. Wei lowered her head and didn't show any intention to join in or say anything more.

He had always pushed this difficult matter of the back house to Mrs. Wei, but now that there was no response, he was extremely flustered.

 In the end, I could only bite the bullet and say it. "Fifth uncle, you can scold me if you want. I can't agree to this matter. Even if I reluctantly agree, it may not be possible. If you are willing to kneel in front of my father's memorial tablet, then you can kneel down. I can only give you something soft." The futon passed.”

His words immediately blocked the way for the five-room people.

 The old man’s usual moves didn’t work, so he had no other options.

　　Pretended to fall asleep on the ground again and started cursing, but Mrs. Wei said coldly when she saw this.

"The ground is cold. If Uncle Five wants to roll around, please let him go. I'll send someone to ask the doctor to come and take a look at it. We and I have other things to deal with, so I won't talk to Uncle Five anymore."

 After saying this, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Shang Yukuan saw that his wife was leaving and he didn't want to stay here, so he stood up.

 Shang Siye and Shang Wulang had a severe headache when they saw this.

If I had known earlier, I would not have brought the fifth old man here. He is begging for help with a sense of superiority and orders. Who would want to help after seeing this?

 But the fifth old man couldn't come, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to hold on to the situation.

Seeing that this incredible wealth was about to pass them by, the father and son couldn't sit still.

The anxious one also stood up, stopped Shang Yukuan and Mrs. Wei from walking away, and said something flattering.

"Brother, sister-in-law, where are we from? No matter what, we are still a family, aren't we? Qiniang is not my daughter, if I don't think about her future, how can I care so much? , come to tell you this?"

　　“Do you think so?”

 Hearing Shang Qiniang's name, Shang Yukuan's face still felt a little more unbearable.

 After all, she is still the child of their businessman. If she doesn't get married, she will become an old girl who can't get married.

There is his biological daughter Shang Xue waiting behind him.

 He was naturally a little intolerant of using himself to save others.

Shang Si Ye could see that his expression had softened, so he immediately stepped forward and struck while the iron was hot.

"I know that eldest brother is really in trouble, but can you ask Liulang? With his current ability, it is not difficult to establish a relationship with the Min Palace. If he is willing to come forward for Qiniang, then there is a chance that the marriage will be successful. ?"

"Isn't this...Rokuro afraid that he won't meddle in such nosy matters?"

Shang Yukuan was in a dilemma. He didn't want to trouble his son because he couldn't do it himself.

What's more, he had no confidence that he could convince Shang Ji.

 Hence, I didn’t dare to respond in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, Mrs. Wei next to her was happy to find some troublesome things for Shang Ji to do, so her face looked much better than before, and she turned to Shang Yukuan and said.

"My fourth cousin is right. We are a family after all. Liulang is now in a high position. If he really wants to go to Prince Min's palace to talk about the matchmaking, I'm afraid he will even get the title of concubine, let alone a noble concubine."

 She is able to use her strength to give the people of Wufang the best hope.

As expected, they were already satisfied with being concubines, but now that they heard that they might become concubines, they wished they could send Shang Qiniang there in a sedan.

With a snap, the fifth old man who had fallen to the ground stood up.

At the moment, I don’t want to howl or get angry.

 Only urged Shang Yukuan to discuss with Shang Ji, but his tone was as "firm" as ever.
