My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 90 Urgently Recruiting Someone

Du Jingyi and Yingtao were both baffled by what she said, so Yingtao spoke up.

"Didn't I ask you to go to Yunjinyuan to deliver something? Why did the fight start?"

Li Zhu came forward and said without even bothering to salute.

"The people from the third and fifth bedrooms were fighting in Yunjin Courtyard. I...the servant just arrived at the door and heard the noise inside. The maids and women gathered in a big circle, but no one dared to step forward to stop them."

"What are you fighting for? Is it possible that the third and fifth bedrooms all know each other's dirty thoughts?"

Cherry then asked again.

“I don’t know. As soon as the slave heard the news, he rushed back to tell the young lady. I guess there is still a fuss at this moment.”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi smiled slightly and said to Cherry.

“Go get some food and fill your stomach first. There may be a tough battle to be fought later.”

When the two maids heard this, their eyes were filled with excitement.

 After waiting for so long, I finally have the handle to deal with these people.

The saving day was "restrained" by them, and it was really a dish.

So Cherry hurried to the small kitchen to get some ready-made things, and the master and servant went first to fill their stomachs.

Wait until Grandma Jiao, as her name suggests, rushed to Dongyuan with a face full of hurry.

　Du Jingyi and others were already well fed and ready to go to the "battlefield".

Outside the gate of Dongyuan, Grandma Jiao brought many people. I don’t know if she thought they wanted to cause trouble for Dongyuan.

This time, it alarmed many people.

Housekeeper He is not here, and Aunt Dou has also gone out. Naturally, the only one who takes the lead is Mama Cai.

 When she faced Grandma Jiao, she used to be a little afraid.

But I have learned a lot from Aunt Dou these days, and gradually I have developed the qualities of a servant of a noble family.

Hence, when Grandma Jiao was speaking harshly, she remained calm.

"Are you kidding me? I have something important to see the young lady. Who do you think you dare to block my way?"

"In the absence of Aunt Dou, the whole Dongyuan will be under my control. Although I am not as powerful as Aunt Jiao, she is still the one who will follow the general out of the house in the future. If Aunt Jiao is not afraid of offending the general and the young lady, then she will Go out on your own!"

"you!"

 Aunt Jiao also had dealings with Mama Cai in the past.

 Of course he knows what she is capable of.

What's going on today? I haven't seen her for a few days and her mouth has become so strong. When I came up, I pinched Grandma Jiao.

She is naturally not afraid of dealing with Mother Cai, but if she wants to offend the general and young lady behind her, she is not so bold.

 So, I could only suppress my anxiety and said to Cai’s mother in a good voice.

“Then please send a message to Mama Cai, saying that I have something to ask Madam Young, and also ask her to go to Yunjin Courtyard. Madam Wei has something to ask.”

“Well, I’ll go in and pass the news on my behalf.”

After saying that, he asked a few boys to block the door, like stone sculptures, blocking the sight of Nanny Jiao looking inside.

She felt angry and dissatisfied in her heart, thinking that if she had the chance, she would definitely find her place again, and it would be Yixue's shame today.

Such a big movement reached the ears of Du Jingyi of Xitang Courtyard, and naturally it also reached the ears of Mrs. Liu, the sister-in-law of Fuqiu Courtyard.

 She was chatting with her eighth sister, Xue Niang, when she suddenly saw Mother Ou walking in with a not-so-good look on her face. Her face, which was still smiling at first, turned dark.

 “What’s wrong? Something happened?”

"Back to the eldest young lady, Grandma Jiao sent people to invite the sixth young lady to Yunjin Courtyard, but the old slave saw that there were so many people coming, so I was afraid that the person who came was not evil."

Ever since the quarrel between sister-in-law Liu and Shang Ji last time, she has never taken care of Dongyuan's affairs again. He just stayed in Fuqiu Courtyard and focused on his son's studies.

From time to time, I would call my eighth sister Xue Niang over to check on her progress, but she never even left the courtyard once.

Now that someone has arrived, the thought of protecting her cubs has been aroused in her heart.

Just as he was about to get up, he felt what Shang Ji said that day lingering in his ears.

“Is it possible that everyone has to rely on their sister-in-law to protect them?”

Yes, she has devoted herself to protecting Dongyuan these years, but at most she can keep the family property.

How are the children being detained one by one?

Thinking of this, her breath relaxed, and she said feebly to Mother Ou.

"Let's bring some people to watch in the dark. If the young lady goes with them, don't worry about it. If the young lady doesn't go and Aunt Jiao wants to force her way in, then step forward and block it, Dongyuan's face will be hurt. Don’t let them be unbridled.”

"yes."

 After Mama Ou left, Shang Zhiping hesitated to speak.

 He is someone who has personally experienced the quarrel between his mother and his sixth uncle, so he can better understand what his mother is doing at this moment.

 For him, he couldn't accept that his sixth uncle, who had just come back, was criticizing his mother.

 He is ineffective, that is his own problem, not his mother's fault, but he dare not tell his sixth uncle this.

 Hence, my heart is even more conflicted.

Sister-in-law Liu understood what her son was thinking, so she gave him a calm look and continued to speak to Shang Bamei.

"I have a lot of things to do today, so you can stay in Fuqiu Courtyard."

 “Sister-in-law, won’t you go and have a look?”

Xue Niang was a little confused, and felt very strange looking at her sister-in-law's calm face.

 In the past, my sister-in-law was always the first to do this kind of thing, but why has she changed her mind today?

 It’s a pity that my sister-in-law has the strictest mouth.

If it's something she doesn't want to say, even if she is attacked with swords, guns, swords and halberds, she may not be able to tell the truth.

 Sister-in-law fell silent, and so did Xue Niang and Shang Zhiping.

On the contrary, Xitang Courtyard is lively at the moment.

After Mama Cai came to report what Grandma Jiao had said, Du Jingyi asked her to find more than a dozen tall and round-waisted maids. Then she took the cherries and Li Zhu and left the gate of Xitang Courtyard.

Mama Jiao, who was standing at the door, was waiting for no one to come out for a long time, and was looking around anxiously.

Just when I was thinking about whether to take someone to rush in, I saw Du Jingyi coming out.

When he saw her, he naturally saw the people following her. After being a little surprised, he said anxiously.

“Young madam, please go to Yunjin Courtyard with me quickly, something big has happened.”

"Oh? Isn't the biggest thing in the house now the father-in-law's birthday? The other Mrs. Wei is taking good care of her, isn't Grandma Jiao exaggerating?"

One sentence closed two holes for Grandma Jiao.

　　　Admitted that other major events had occurred, which meant that Mrs. Wei was incompetent and could not manage the family well.

 If she does not admit that other major events have happened, she means that she is spreading lies.

　　It’s really not easy to mess with.

So I could only suppress the arrogance in my heart and said to Du Jingyi.

"It's an old slave who can't speak. Please excuse me, Madam, but it's true that the people in the third and fifth rooms are making a lot of noise. Madam Wei means that you will be the master of the house in the future. Go and have a look and give me some ideas." .”
