My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

When I saw Shang Ji and his wife entering the door.

There were still some moving tears in Shang Guogong's eyes.

However, he didn't know how to speak to his son.

After all, in front of him, as an old man, I have never been tough.

So he just suppressed his emotions and said with a somewhat excited smile.

"coming."

Shang Ji nodded and gave a simple "hmm".

Then he clasped his fists and said something.

"Father, Ann."

As for the other people, he didn't take a direct look at them.

Such a cold attitude naturally made many people present unhappy.

But they could only endure it.

After all, it was not only the young prince from the Duke's Mansion who came back this time, but also the God of War, Daxing, who had gained face in front of the emperor.

The names I just signed up for were all Cavalry Generals.

They know this better than anyone else.

What he also knew in his mind was the woman sitting next to Shang Guogong.

Now, the step-brother Wei, Mrs. Wei, is the master of the Duke's mansion.

She is only one year younger than Shang Guogong, but she looks a little younger than him.

It can be seen that it is well maintained on weekdays.

He is obviously in his fifties and does not look old at all.

Wearing a dark red tapestry quilt embroidered with Ruyi patterns, it added a bit of grace to her.

His face is gentle and kind, just like the Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple, with kind eyebrows and kind intentions.

Du Jingyi is not her husband Shang Ji.

With the reputation of a great general hanging over him, he can do whatever he wants.

After all, she is still a woman who lives in the back house.

Although there are secret discords with Mrs. Wei, on the surface, they are naturally getting along.

So, he gave a decent smile and bowed.

Half squatting down, he said to Shang Guogong and his wife.

"My daughter-in-law, Du Shi Jingyi, has met my father-in-law and Mrs. Wei."

Since she entered the house, she has never called Mrs. Wei her mother-in-law.

This actually made Shang Ji on the side feel a lot more comfortable.

When he looked at Mrs. Wei again, there was a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Mrs. Wei can support her as a concubine and become a wife.

Naturally, it won't be a simple role.

Because, even when I heard the words "Mrs. Wei".

He didn't feel like he was being slapped in the face, but he said it in a kind and polite manner.

"Okay, good boy, get up quickly. This is a casual family."

"Thank you, Mrs. Wei."

Just a few words, but others can feel the smell of gunpowder going back and forth between you and me.

However, today's protagonist is not Du Jingyi.

Therefore, Mrs. Wei's artillery fire will not be aimed at her.

I saw her explaining in the next second.

"I thought it would take two days for Liulang to arrive in Sui'an City, so things were still going on at home. Unexpectedly, I suddenly received the imperial edict yesterday. The master and I hurried into the palace to eat the palace banquet to catch the wind and wash away the dust. When we came back It’s too late, I didn’t tell the elders and relatives.”

While talking, he cast a somewhat apologetic look at the elders next to him.

Seeing her acting like this, the third and fifth rooms, who were still a little weak at first, straightened their backs again.

Sitting on the left side below the Duke and his wife are the third and fifth merchants who have been living with their families in the Duke's Mansion.

One is as thin as a Taoist priest cultivating immortality, and the other is as bloated as a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

They are all over seventy.

But after many years of wealth and wealth, I don't see the cloudy look in my old eyes.

Beside them sat their respective family members.

The third old lady and the fifth old lady.

Their body shapes are opposite to their husbands.

The third old lady has a round figure and a fleshy face.

The fifth old lady is thin, short-boned, and full of schemes.

At first glance, he doesn't look like a charitable person.

As soon as he entered the door, Shang Ji couldn't help but look at the three old ladies with gold hairpins.

She was so dazzling that it was difficult not to notice her.

Besides, she was the one who made the rude remarks just now.

So when Shang Ji cast his cold eyes over here, she couldn't help but shrink her neck.

Looks fatter and stupider.

The back that had just been straightened had softened quite a bit.

However, the oldest third old man came out and said haha.

"The whole family can't speak the same language. This Liulang has received such a great blessing. Naturally, he has to go to the palace to see the emperor first. We old bones are not allowed to be reused, and it will be the same when we meet today."

It was said in a polite way.

But Du Jingyi heard that this was not what he meant.

It was as if she was holding a gun and a stick and said that her husband did not understand etiquette.

It was obvious that I should have missed the night last night and went to Beiyuan to meet the elders.

Now they are still allowed to wait in Yunjin Courtyard for so long.

He also specially emphasized the word "Old Bones".

Don't you just want to slap Shang Ji with the label of disrespecting his elders?

It's really full of absurdity.

For these moths who are used to lying on other people's bodies and sucking blood.

Du Jingyi looked down upon him ten thousand times.

But Shang Ji was standing next to her, so she acted calm and humble.

It's a pity that the Third Old Master's idea is not in Shang Ji's eyes.

Not even a look was given.

At first glance, he seemed unwilling to talk to him.

Seeing that she had lost face, the third old lady was a little unhappy.

He opened his mouth and was about to say a few words to teach the juniors a lesson.

Then Shang Ji spoke first.

He looked at the sitting Shang Guogong and said.

"The military situation was urgent that day, and my son left Beijing in a hurry. He could not complete the tea ceremony with his bride and the ceremony of returning home, so I brought my wife here today to serve tea to my father as a courtesy."

He didn't say much, but his meaning was clear.

This is paving the way for Du Jingyi to live in the back house.

Although the two have not yet consummated their marriage, they have been a couple for three years.

It's not a deep affection, but it's not difficult to treat each other with respect.

Giving Du Jingyi face is also giving him face.

So after saying this, he looked at the people following him.

Du Jingyi responded to her husband's sudden protection.

He was stunned for a moment, then straightened his posture.

Maid Yingying brought a red lacquer plate from nowhere and came forward.

There were two cups of hot tea inside.

When Mrs. Wei saw this, her face turned a little rosy.

When he was at home, Shang Ji never looked at her seriously.

Now that I have a wife, I remember the rules.

She was still very concerned about having this sip of the general's wife's mother-in-law tea.

So the corners of his mouth were raised a lot.

The Duke of Shang on the side obviously did not expect his son to behave like this.

Seeing him look more and more like his father-in-law, Marshal Gu, I felt extremely sad in my heart.

"Okay, father, I have been waiting for this bridal tea for a long time."

After saying that, he looked at Du Jingyi with a loving face.

He didn't care much about family status in his heart.

As far as she was concerned, she had never been sick in the three years since she entered the hospital.

It put an end to the rumors about the son's "conquering his wife" outside.

Duke Shang was very satisfied with Du Jingyi.

So when Du Jingyi knelt down and said, "Daddy, drink tea," he readily accepted it.

Then he thought about it and said.
