My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Before, her husband Shang Ji said that he would send a Qin mother to help her behave properly. She thought it would be a restraint, but now it seems that she can relax in advance.

Then Du Jingyi's eyebrows relaxed a lot, and he said with a smile to Shang Ji.

"In this way, I will understand. Thank you general for your trust. I will pay attention to it."

"Um."

Maybe it was because the night was a little warm, or maybe Du Jingyi felt that the couple needed to find something to talk about, so they talked about the Jia family and Prince Min's palace.

Apart from other things, when Du Jingyi mentioned Prince Min's Mansion, Shang Ji's eyes flashed with disdainful emotions, but due to the other party's identity, he could not say anything directly.

So he told Du Jingyi.

"The water in Prince Min's Palace is deep. If you can't mix it up, don't mix it up. The Jia family thought that if they caught up with them, they would be able to reach the sky in one step. Be careful that not even the bones will be left to be used by Prince Min's Palace in the future!"

There are not many people in the royal family who are easy to get along with.

Shang Ji understands this better than anyone else.

Hearing what he said, Du Jingyi couldn't help but pay more attention to it.

But after thinking about it, I still feel that there should be no suspicion and estrangement between husband and wife. The best way is to express your inner thoughts.

This saves a lot of trouble when doing things and talking.

So he spoke bluntly.

"General, I always feel that this matter is inseparable from Liu Niang, and it will also have something to do with the third room, breaking bones and connecting tendons. If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that the palace will feel that it is the Duke who offended them. Mansion, not just a Jia family."

"Huh, that's not a good idea. They also have to suffer the bloody storm outside. If they don't have any choice, they will hide at home and suck people's blood."

In his words, there was no intention of defending him at all.

But Du Jingyi said it to the point.

"It doesn't matter if the three or five families suffer some punishment, but if the reputation of the Duke's Mansion is damaged, Ping'er will be the one who suffers in the future."

When it comes to Shang Zhiping, Shang Ji is obviously very interested.

The look in Du Jingyi's eyes was also full of inquiry.

The carriage was still moving forward slowly, but suddenly there was silence inside.

After a while, Shang Ji sighed slightly and said.

"Do you know what I'm thinking?"

"I don't know who I am."

"I wonder why you say that?"

"From what the general said to my eldest brother while kneeling down in the ancestral hall with me, from the general's disapproval of my eldest sister-in-law's method of raising children, from the general's concern for Ping'er, I feel that the position of the young prince in this country's palace is worthy of my eldest brother. It will eventually fall on Ping'er."

Du Jingyi saw this clearly.

But at the same time, it is also a warning to myself.

She has never been involved in the Gu family's bond of flesh and blood, so she cannot empathize with it.

However, the elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, worked hard to support Dongyuan by herself, and her kindness to her children and eighth sister Shang Xue must be repaid by Shang Ji, who valued friendship.

It's just that Shang Zhiping is too weak now, and he hastily pushed him to the position of young master. He can neither hold on nor carry it.

Therefore, Shang Ji still needs to hold on for a while.

In order to prevent others from threatening his nephew Shang Zhiping, Shang Ji never exposed his thoughts in front of others.

Only that day when I had a disagreement with my sister-in-law, I talked about it in a cryptic way.

But he didn't expect that his wife Du Jingyi would notice it.

I have to say that her thoughts were really delicate and nuanced, which immediately made Shang Ji wary.

Once he becomes alert, a sense of oppression will emanate from his whole body.

Du Jingyi has never been on the battlefield, although he still has some strategizing skills in the business world.

But when facing Shang Ji's overwhelming and bloody gaze, he was still a little frightened.

It was probably the sincerity in her eyes that made Shang Ji realize that the person in front of him was not a spy from the enemy country, so he quickly calmed down his emotions.

Then he said something.

"Sorry, I couldn't calm down for a moment."

Du Jingyi wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and then suppressed his nervousness and replied to him.

"It doesn't matter."

Along the way, Shang Ji remained silent and didn't say much.

Du Jingyi next to him couldn't continue to ask questions.

Therefore, the workshop was so quiet that you could even hear the wheels outside rolling over a pebble.

Shang Ji didn't say a word until they returned to Xitang Courtyard and the two of them were washed and put on bed together.

It was probably because of Shang Ji's gentleness in the past few days that she temporarily forgot that the person next to her came from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

So it's better not to provoke him easily, otherwise I'm afraid the end will be extremely tragic.

I glanced at his broad back. I felt warm before, but now it feels like a mountain, insurmountable.

With a slight sigh in his heart, Du Jingyi also turned over.

She couldn't help but wonder if what she just said was too rash, so her husband suddenly changed into a different person.

Just when I was thinking about how to get along with him next, I felt a warmth behind me.

Immediately afterwards, the person fell into a warm embrace, and he knew who the person behind was without even thinking.

So, Du Jingyi asked with some uncertainty.

"General, is it cold?"

This night, if you really want to be more serious, it will indeed be a bit cool.

But Shang Ji couldn't help but chuckle when he heard her question.

Then he said calmly.

"What happened today is not directed at you, but the thoughts that have been hidden in my heart for a long time were discovered by others, so I became a little defensive. Although I have been married before, we only had the name of husband and wife. I’ve never even seen what she looks like, so I don’t know how to get along with women.”

"When I first came back from Cezhou, I was very wary of you, thinking that the step-brother arranged for me by Mrs. Wei would be something good. But I never expected that God would also care for me. After getting along with me these days, I know that you know that the Du family are all simple people. Although they are somewhat profit-seeking in nature, they do not lose their moral principles."

"You are right to remind me about today's matter. I can care nothing about the life and death of the three and five households, but the reputation of the Duke's Mansion that is left to Ping'er cannot be ruined like this, so I will explain this matter and investigate it carefully. I hope You can forgive me for my cold attitude just now. I didn't target you intentionally, it was just a result of years of habit and I won't do it anymore in the future."

Shang Ji's words were sincere and frank.

There was no concealment at all, and Du Jingyi was very pleased to hear this.

She and Shang Ji were married for only half a month.

It is impossible to talk about absolute trust.

But trust, apart from long-term relationship, naturally depends on attitude change.

If one is willing to speak and the other is willing to listen, then so many misunderstandings will not arise.
