My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Shang Yuan is good at negotiating.

Seeing that the timing was wrong, he immediately changed his tone.

Anyway, their goal was never to seek justice for Qi Er.

But to let Shang Goro have an errand to do.

Since hardness is not enough, it is natural to be soft.

In this regard, he is more flexible than his father, Mr. Wu.

The words sounded much softer, and then Du Jingyi answered.

"What my fourth uncle said makes sense. It's just an external matter. As a woman, I can't make any decisions. But since it belongs to the family, I don't think the general will really let it go."

"How about letting your fifth cousin handle this matter first? If you can gain a good reputation, I think the general can trust you and give you some errands."

Du Jingyi's words were not true, but they all sounded true to the ears of the people in Wufang.

He automatically ignored that possibility, but felt that the matter was a certainty.

So the two of them stopped crying, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were sitting on the ground also helped each other to stand up.

Du Jingyi glanced at Li Zhu and saw that she had just let go of the Fifth Old Master.

Then there was a click, and the dislocated palm immediately returned to its place.

Apart from some redness and swelling, there were no other side effects.

Only then did Shang Yu'an and Shang Wulang, father and son, step forward to support him and asked repeatedly.

"Dad, are you okay?"

"Grandpa, how's it going?"

The deep concern in his eyes made the fifth old man unable to get angry even if he wanted to.

So he could only stare at Du Jingyi and said.

"You'd better keep your word, otherwise I will skin you and your wife even if you make trouble in front of His Majesty."

The threat is self-evident.

Du Jingyi was generous and immediately gave instructions to Cherry.

"Go and get a hundred taels of silver from my private treasury immediately. Remember, you want real gold and silver. Do you understand?"

Looking at Yingtao intently, the maid Yingtao quickly understood.

"Yes, slave, go now!"

Du Jingyi was happy, and the people in the fifth room were eagerly waiting after hearing her words.

Everyone stared at Cherry's leaving figure, hoping that she would come back soon.

However, Butler He and Aunt Dou did not approve of Du Jingyi's approach.

These people are like blood-sucking leeches. If they get a benefit once, I'm afraid they won't be able to get away from it in the future.

That's why the eldest lady would rather face the infamy than let go of her problems. This is the reason.

But now, Du Jingyi could just let go and get a hundred taels of silver.

Not to mention the people in the fifth room, if the people in the third room smell this good thing, they will rush to join in the fun and beat the autumn wind.

When they thought of this, the worry in their eyes could not be reduced.

But in front of outsiders, they would not easily question Du Jingyi's actions.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a joke to outsiders?

As soon as I took two sips of the tea, the maid Cherry brought a tray.

It was neatly filled with money.

A full one hundred taels, not a penny less.

To be honest, the impact of this real money in front of you is much greater than the impact of a hundred taels of silver notes.

All of a sudden, the people in the fifth house became angry and looked better.

Wulang's wife still had time to chat and laugh with Du Jingyi.

Even the fifth old man, who had felt pain in his wrist just now, no longer felt pain at the moment. He reached out and grabbed a few and stuffed them into his pocket.

Not polite at all.

Several other people saw this and followed suit.

So five people came, except for the fourth lady Ni, who didn't get any money.

Others were a little heavier.

At this point, the turmoil has completely stopped.

When Shang Yu'an saw that Du Jingyi was so talkative, he smiled and said.

"Don't worry, Liulang's daughter-in-law, Wulang will take care of Qi Er's matter. When the time comes, I will bother you to say a few nice words in front of the general."

My attitude is much better than before.

Even the fifth old man who raised his nostrils to look at people also had a smile on his face at the moment.

Du Jingyi is much more pleasing to the eye.

The people in Wufang were polite, but Du Jingyi was a little more "sincere" than them.

He spoke quickly.

"Don't worry, fourth uncle, I've remembered it all. I will talk to the general about this matter."

"Okay, in that case, let's leave first. You haven't had any rest this morning."

"Fourth uncle, you're welcome, aren't you? We are a family."

"Yes, yes, one family, one family! The fact that the general can marry you is a blessing to our Duke's family!"

As soon as these words came out, the young men, women and maids present all sneered.

Didn't you just clamor that their young lady was a disaster and a waste?

Why is it now a blessing again?

It really looks the same all of a sudden!

As a result, people from the fifth house came and went in a hurry and left obediently.

Butler He personally escorted them out of Dongyuan Gate, and when they left, everyone was smiling.

But the people waiting outside in the fifth house couldn't understand.

In the distance, a person who had been watching frowned and left quietly.

As for the cause of the trouble, it was the corpse of Qi Erqi.

He was sent out of the Duke's Mansion in a hurry, and Shang Wulang took care of it himself.

While giving him enough face, it also spread the reputation of the Duke's Mansion for being kind to the servants.

In Yunjin Courtyard, Mrs. Wei was feeding the fish in the pond.

As soon as I shook the fish food in my hand, there was immediately a fish waiting below with its mouth open.

That look made Mrs. Wei feel comfortable.

Then I heard Nanny Jiao behind me tell her everything that happened in the fifth room and Dongyuan this morning.

When she heard that the last five people left Dongyuan happily, a trace of surprise flashed in Mrs. Wei's eyes.

"The slaves didn't hear what happened in Dongyuan specifically, but Sanbao said that the people who came out of the fifth room had bulging waists, and they were only willing to leave after getting some benefits from the young lady."

Hearing this, the surprise in Mrs. Wei's eyes disappeared.

Said rather disdainfully.

"Another person who only knows how to get around with money. Hmm, he has no future. The people who spread the news to call the third room also know that the fifth room gets an advantage while the third room is still kept in the dark. As a family, there must be one The water in the bowl should be level."

A hint of calculation flashed in Mrs. Wei's eyes.

Aren't you rich?

Then let her see what it means to be a blood-sucking leech that can't escape from her hands.

At this point, she has been watching the Duke's Mansion for decades.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be crying every day taking care of the middle child.

"Yes, this slave knows."

Grandma Jiao agreed immediately.

Turn around and go to arrange it.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wei simply threw the bowl of fish food in her hand.

With a splash, the fish who came to grab the fish food were frightened and swam away one after another.
