My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

The teacup was placed on the table, and Shang Ji asked calmly without even raising his eyebrows.

"What should I say? What is she doing here?"

Du Jingyi also listened attentively, wanting to know what Mrs. Qi's intention was.

Luo Yuan didn't say haha ​​and answered directly.

"Mrs. Qi met an old woman in a private room. She mentioned that Prince Min was looking for several concubines to enter the palace. Mrs. Qi asked the old woman to pick out a few suitable concubines. She probably wanted to use the other concubines to marry her. His identity was used to infiltrate people into the palace."

In fact, it is understandable if he uses his identity.

After all, there is no way for a daughter-in-law to stuff someone into her father-in-law's house. Isn't this a slap in the face to her mother-in-law?

Moreover, Mrs. Qi's mother-in-law, the concubine, was also a well-known figure in the prince's palace and was deeply loved by the old prince.

If she were to find out about this, I'm afraid that Mrs. Qi would be unable to eat and walk away.

Shang Ji went through all the relationships in his mind.

After a while, he showed some ridicule.

Du Jingyi looked at him and looked a little more "bad" than his father.

So some curious people asked.

"What did the general discover?"

"Well, the eldest son of Prince Min has been married for more than ten years and has nothing to do with his family. However, Mrs. Qi has two children, especially her son, who is favored by Prince Min. It seems that there will be an heir named the eldest son and concubine. It’s possible.”

"In this case, fire and water are naturally incompatible. Even if you want to please the King of Min, it would be unnecessary to find a concubine to bring into the palace."

If they want to please King Min, all they need to do is teach Madam Hao Qi's son.

Even if he inherits the lineage of a royal concubine in the future, his heart will naturally be biased towards whose child should belong to him.

At this time, why are you rushing to send some concubines to take away the favor of the king's concubine?

Isn't this a foolish move?

Therefore, there must be a lot of stories behind it.

Shang Ji wanted it, and Du Jingyi naturally wanted it too.

So he gave Luo Yuan an order.

"Keep a close eye on Prince Min's Mansion, especially the Princess and the Princess' concubine. If there is any unusual movement, report it immediately!"

"yes!"

After Du Jingyi heard this and summed up the news he heard from his parents when he returned home yesterday, he started to make plans in his mind.

It has to be said that God is still very partial to her.

Yesterday I just decided to tidy up the three and five bedrooms, and today I brought a knife over.

So, with a hint of calculation in his eyes, he spoke to Shang Ji.

"General, I have a way to make the dogs in the third and fifth bedrooms bite the dogs."

"what you up to?"

"The news that the Min Palace is looking for your concubine will naturally be released. As for what happens next, we will just watch the show."

Hearing this, Shang Ji also laughed.

Although the smile was faint, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

In the past, he didn't tidy up three or five bedrooms because he didn't have time.

Now that everyone else has returned to Sui'an City, they no longer have to let these relatives pull their legs and suck blood.

The crowd outside the window was still lively, but the commotion at the Duke's Mansion was going to get even more intense.

Two days later, Shang Wulang hurried back from outside.

There was uncontrollable excitement on his face, but he was afraid of being seen by others, so he suppressed it very hard.

As soon as he entered Yingjuan Courtyard, the joy on his face was no longer concealed.

He hurried into his grandparents' main house, and then said to the people next to him.

"Go and invite all the masters in the courtyard over. I have something to tell them."

"yes."

After the people left, he cheered up and entered the door happily.

After receiving the one hundred taels of silver, Wufang's life was much more comfortable than before.

The fifth old man occupied half of it, and the rest was divided among his children and grandchildren.

Fifty taels of silver is either too much or too little.

But he was not anxious at all, and he could see who was the best in the family.

After all the money was spent, he found an excuse to continue looking for help from Du Jingyi.

Thinking like this, his subordinates spent even more money.

When Shang Wulang entered the door, he saw the fifth old man puffing away smoke. This thing was imported and expensive.

In the past, the fifth old man only saw people using it outside, and he did not have any extra money to buy it and enjoy it.

But now, even a box of 30 taels of hibiscus ointment is willing to buy, and I really don't care about money.

Shang Wulang didn't know what hibiscus ointment was. He only saw the enjoyment on his grandfather's face, so he clasped his fists and shouted.

"Grandpa, my grandson is back."

While he was still enjoying the happiness brought by the hibiscus ointment, he heard a noise. The fifth old man opened his eyes and saw Shang Wulang.

That smile makes one happy.

"Hey, Wulang is back, come on, come on, grandpa will show you a good baby!"

Shang Wulang didn't doubt that he was there, so he stepped forward and got close to him.

I saw the fifth old man reaching out and handing over the cigarette pole, and said with satisfaction in his eyes.

"Try it, it's good!"

Shanggoro took a sip dubiously. The smell was a bit pungent, and it seemed no different from the dry cigarettes his father would use on weekdays.

After coughing twice, he returned the cigarette pole to the fifth old man.

"Grandpa, please use it yourself. My grandson doesn't like the taste."

The fifth old man looked ignorant, so he took it and started smoking again.

Every bite was like the ultimate happiness that penetrated the soul, making him forget many worries and sorrows for a short time.

Seeing him like this, Shang Wulang felt that it was a bit exaggerated.

So I tried to persuade him too much.

"Grandpa, you'd better smoke less of this. It's not good for your health after all."

"Okay, okay, whatever Goro says is whatever it is."

In front of Shang Wulang, the fifth old man, a grandfather, was particularly pampered.

Seeing him put down his cigarette pole, Shang Wulang came over and said mysteriously.

"My grandson heard some great news today. It seems that our fifth house is about to turn around. Otherwise, why would we be sending money one after another!"

When they heard the word silver, not to mention Shang Wulang, even the fifth old man was stunned and his eyes brightened a lot.

"What do you mean? Have you found any opportunity to make a fortune?"

"It's not my grandson, it's my seventh sister's blessing."

"she?"

The fifth old man and the fifth old lady gave birth to two sons and two daughters. Apart from the married daughter, the two sons had always lived with them in the Duke's Mansion.

The eldest son Shang Yuding, who outsiders call Shang Erye, and his wife Guo have three daughters, namely Erniang, Sanniang and Qiniang.

The youngest son Shang Yu'an, who is called Fourth Master Shang outside, and his wife Ni have a son and a daughter, Shang Wulang and Shang Wuniang.

Leaving aside the fact that the younger son is living in the same room, among the three girls in the eldest son's room, the first two are already married, but Shang Qiniang is still waiting to be married.

According to her age, she should have gotten married long ago.
