My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Mrs. Du has long been used to seeing the father and daughter having fun.

It's strange to say that both daughters were raised the same way. The older one is surprisingly well-behaved, while the younger one is cunning and hard to beat.

He shook his head helplessly and smiled fondly.

He Shilin was obviously a little uncomfortable with his wife's sister's behavior.

Du Jingxiang looked helpless after giving his wife a strange look.

She whispered to him quietly.

"I'll talk to you later when I get back."

"Um."

He Shilin agreed in a low voice, feeling in his heart that it would be better to have a temperament like his own wife.

I don't know if the brother-in-law in the Duke's mansion can stand the weirdness of his wife and sister.

With Mr. Du and Du Jingyi here, there will be no moments of silence for the family.

After talking and laughing, it was dinner time.

The family and Lele finally had a reunion dinner.

During the meal, for a moment, Du Jingyi felt that if they really wanted to talk about reunion, then of course they still need a husband, Shang Ji.

But then I thought, it would be better for him not to come.

Otherwise, the whole family would be nervous about eating this meal, which would be quite restrictive and boring.

At the dinner table, Du Jingyi's favorite people were sitting on the left and right sides, and they were eating the dishes she usually loved.

Therefore, she took off all her guard at this moment.

From the dignified and solemn young lady in the grand courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, she became the free-spirited little girl of the Du family.

Even the smile comes from the heart.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

A breeze came and it became cooler.

The streets that were still bustling during the day seemed a little empty now.

There is talk of a curfew in Sui'an City.

Naturally, ordinary people will not go out at will during the hour.

Unless there is some special holiday.

For example, there is the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, the Chinese Valentine's Day festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion in August, and the seven-day celebration between China and North Korea.

The clatter of horses' hooves and the sound of wheels rolling over the bluestones intersect with each other.

It looks particularly clear in the quiet night.

A group of people walked among them, and the soldiers who were under curfew also bowed politely when they met, and didn't think anything else.

Because the leader was Shang Ji who was riding on horseback to pick up Du Jingyi and return home.

At this moment, he was listening to Luo Yuan report back on all the major and minor matters during the time he left Cezhou.

Since Cezhou signed the "Ceyan Alliance", the people have been living and working in peace and contentment.

Although it has not yet returned to the bustling business scene of the past, at least everyone can live a life that is not affected by war.

Therefore, Shang Ji felt that given a few more days, Cezhou would be able to recover as before.

The tranquility and comfort of Sui'an City cannot be compared to Cezhou.

But for him, Cezhou is where his heart aspires.

Therefore, what he thought was that after everything in Sui'an City was arranged, he still wanted to ask His Majesty for an order to return to Cezhou.

There are many of his memories and past events there, as well as responsibilities that he cannot let go of.

The moonlight shines on the relatively smooth road, reflecting streaks of light and shadow.

For some reason, Shang Ji thought of someone.

That is his little wife Du Jingyi.

When we first met, the moonlight was also so beautiful.

After thinking about it, the horse walked to the door of Du's house.

With a "hush" sound, the horse stopped.

The rules in the military are very strict, as can be seen from the obedience of a mere horse.

Looking at the brightly lit Du family, for a moment, Shang Ji seemed to remember the warmth and comfort in his home when he returned home in the past.

The warmth that had not yet risen between her eyebrows was quickly swallowed up by the night.

It was a bit lively and not suitable for him now.

"Knock on the door."

"yes."

There was a bit of coldness in Shang Ji's voice, and he followed Luo Yuan and immediately stepped forward to take pictures.

He was very strong and the door opened in a few clicks.

Seeing that the person coming was Shang Ji, the boy guarding the door immediately ran out and said.

"I have met my second uncle. The master said that if you come, please come inside."

"Um."

Shang Ji jumped on his horse, then threw the whip to Luo Yuan next to him and gave instructions.

"It's a long wait, I'll go in and pick up Madam."

"yes."

Under the moonlight, the young man looked at the twenty or so guardsmen.

Each one has a serious expression and stands as straight as a pine tree.

Feeling a little scared, he retreated to the hut where he was guarding the door and continued to lie down.

After Shang Ji entered the door, servants greeted him all the way.

Although he has only been here once, he has a good memory.

After a while, we arrived in front of Minser Courtyard.

Some laughter and laughter could still be heard vaguely inside. At this point, Shang Ji relaxed his solemnity and walked straight in.

When the guard in the yard saw the person coming, he naturally hunched over and immediately shouted inside.

"Master, madam, the second uncle is here."

The family was chatting lively about interesting stories from earlier years when they heard this sound.

Mr. Du and Mrs. Du stood up and said to the outside.

"Please quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Ji walked in.

He was already tall and tall, but now he was walking in the moonlight, and he looked like a god descending from heaven, with a sense of inviolability.

After returning home in the morning, Mr. Du and Mrs. Du had some resistance to their second uncle.

However, this was the first time that Du Jingxiang and He Shilin met their brother-in-law.

I really didn't expect him to be so "tall and strong".

Shang Ji glanced around when he entered the room. When he saw two more people in the room, there was no disturbance in his eyes.

He has learned a bit about the Du family's affairs in the past few days.

The person in front of me must be Du Jingyi's sister who has been married for several years.

It is somewhat unusual to bring my brother-in-law back with a full belly.

However, he is not a talkative person.

Therefore, he cupped his fists and said to the Du family and his wife.

"My son-in-law has met my father-in-law and my mother-in-law."

"Okay, the second uncle came at the right time. The eldest daughter who is married to another woman has brought her husband back to see us."

After hearing Mrs. Du's introduction, Shang Ji also said half sideways.

"I've met my sister and my brother-in-law."

The biggest official Du Jingxiang and his wife had ever seen was the prefect of Pingzhou.

He was still a civil servant, an old man in his late thirties.

This is the first time I have seen my sister-in-law become a hussar general at such a young age.

It's normal to be a little reserved.

He Shilin also replied with cupped hands and fists.

"You're welcome, General."

Du Jingxiang next to him also slightly bent his legs to return the salute, but he was not as relaxed as before.

It was obvious that her sister and her husband were nervous, and Du Jingyi couldn't bear to let them suffer from this pressure all the time.

So he stood up and said to the Du couple.

"Dad, mother, my daughter will go back with the general first. I will come back to see you two another day."

Mr. Du and Mrs. Du nodded and said nothing more.

The Duke's family has a high status, so I don't know when the next time we will meet him.
