My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

"Sixth brother is right, whatever you want to do can indeed be done."

There was both a sense of defeat and a touch of admiration in his words.

In the past, my sister-in-law had a high regard for her ability to run a household, but now faced with Du Jingyi's interlocking strategies, her actions seemed much childish.

Du Jingyi didn't say much.

She may seem young, but her involvement in the Du family's business started when she was only a few years old.

After all, there is not much difference between this shopping mall and a back house.

It's nothing more than knowing what chips you have and guessing what the other party wants.

However, Du Jingyi still slightly agreed with what his sister-in-law said.

In the final analysis, what happened this time was that Mrs. Wei underestimated her enemy, which allowed the plan to be implemented quickly and accurately.

But she has never had a head-on confrontation with Mrs. Wei, so she still can't take it too lightly.

The autumn wind brought a chill, and it began to rain lightly outside.

Gradually, the rain became heavier, and the powder scattered in Yunjin Courtyard also completely disappeared with the rain and the storm.

It's like it never happened.

When the teapot reached the bottom, Du Jingyi shouted "cherry" outside.

She knew very well what her young lady wanted to do, so when she entered, she was served not tea, but a pot of Yueming Incense.

It's perfect for calming down and relieving tension.

Maybe this thing really works, or maybe the sister-in-law figured it out herself.

Therefore, after almost half an hour, she started to laugh crazily.

"I underestimated you in the past. Sixth brother is right. I really shouldn't keep you under restraint. You always feel that you have to be protected by me. You have done a good job in this matter. Although you have made some calculations, you can't. In the end, they are the ones to blame."

"I feel relieved that Dongyuan and the General's Mansion will be left in your hands in the future."

At this moment, her smile was no longer as twisted as before, but more of a relief.

It is letting go of one's own abilities and being free from one's past obsessions.

Du Jingyi could see clearly.

So he replied sincerely.

"Thank you sister-in-law for your trust. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"Well, there is one more thing I want to ask you."

"Is it Ping'er?"

The sister-in-law nodded solemnly.

"This child was very talented when he was a child. Later, he suffered some blows when his father passed away, and he was brought up in the back house by me all the time. But he is only thirteen, and he shouldn't live like this all his life. If you can do something about it, , just help him."

When she said this, it was with sincerity, even a bit of pleading.

Du Jingyi had known before that how sincere his sister-in-law was to her son, so naturally he would not take issue with Qiao on this matter.

So he nodded and replied.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we as a couple will never refuse anything we can do for Ping'er."

Hearing this, the sister-in-law's eyes turned red.

A family, they have always been a family.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, the sister-in-law also stood up and prepared to leave.

Du Jingyi said with a smile.

"In another half month, the renovations in the General's Mansion will be almost complete, and my illness should be cured. Then, with my sister-in-law, Ping'er and Xue Niang, how about we go see the new house together?"

"Okay, it's up to you."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, their relationship getting closer than before.

As soon as I finished speaking, I was about to go out.

I saw Cai's mother walking in with a serious expression, and saluted the two of them.

"The old slave has met the eldest young lady and the young lady."

"What's wrong?"

"Just now, the mother-in-law of Yunjinyuan sent a message, saying that the birthday banquet of the Duke of Guo will be held in eight days. The young lady should get well soon and attend the event with Mrs. Wei to preside over the overall situation."

Du Jingyi smiled lightly and said.

"I already admire Mrs. Wei. What can we do if the trouble is like this?"

"She is not easy to deal with. I suffered a lot from my mother-in-law when she was still alive."

Sister-in-law Liu has always admired Mrs. Gu, so she dislikes Mrs. Wei ten thousand times.

He doesn't like her sudden rise to power, nor the "brothers and sisters" she has given birth to.

Du Jingyi thought for a moment and then said comfortingly.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we will all attend together when the time comes. Last time, the general also said that he asked me to properly recognize the ladies and ladies in Sui'an City, so as not to know any of them in the future and make people laugh at the general's mansion."

"Don't worry, I can help you with this. I used to follow my mother-in-law, and I made a lot of friends with those ladies."

She has been prosperous in this mansion for several years.

Although it was short-lived, there were only a dozen or so wealthy families, and the people coming and going were just a group of people.

Even if you become rich, arrogant, or calm, your appearance will not change.

Therefore, my sister-in-law Liu is really helpful in this regard.

"Then I would like to thank my sister-in-law in advance."

"Well, I will make up a list and send it to you when we get back. You should familiarize yourself with it first. Then it will be much easier to remember when you meet the face."

"good."

At this point, the sister-in-law Liu didn't stay much.

After she left, Yingying and Lizhu came in to wait on her.

Du Jingyi gave the order after eating a bowl of bird's nest soup.

"Tell Mr. Liu to keep an eye on Shang Liu Niang. The three and five people in the house together can't make more trouble than her. Don't let her get us into trouble."

"Yes, young lady."

Li Zhu now spends two hours every day going out to learn kung fu from Liu Xun in a secluded courtyard.

Right now, I don’t want to alarm everyone in Dongyuan.

When they go to the General's Mansion in the future, they can practice in the General's Mansion openly, which saves them a lot of trouble.

Because Du Jingyi was "sick", Shang Ji would ride back in the past few days.

I often arrive after dark and leave before dawn.

Du Jingyi felt exhausted just listening to the tossing and going back and forth on the road.

So, after seeing Shang Ji come in again that night, she hurried forward and helped him change clothes and wash himself.

Although Shang Ji was a little uncomfortable with it, it was because he was serving the maid.

Now it was his wife who was doing the trick, and he got used to it quickly.

And have peace of mind.

When Du Jingyi touched his hand, he felt the roughness and coldness of the touch.

Now that it's October, it's not so cold that people don't want to move, but it's certainly not warm either.

So she opened her mouth and said it.

"General, there is no need to go through such trouble. It would be better to just come back three or four days ago."

"Do you feel sorry for me?"

Shang Ji didn't hesitate and asked immediately.

There was some joy and imperceptible pride in his expression.

"That's not the case. I feel sorry for the horse, which is always running back and forth. It's so tiring."

Du Jingyi had a tough mouth, so he replied without falling into his trap.

"Then ask someone to prepare more good grass for it. It will not be tired after it has enough food and drink."

When he said this, his fingers touched Du Jingyi's skin intentionally or unintentionally.
