MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 156 Go back to your parents' home

Chapter 156 Returning to her parents’ home

"Come on, let me go and see. For such good news, my father and mother came to repay me after giving birth! Do you not regard me as the daughter of the family?"

As soon as she finished saying this, Cherry smiled bitterly.

“Young madam, you are too worried. You are pregnant now and it is hard to see the blood. The master and madam are doing this for your own good.”

“I know, I just said one more thing quickly.”

After saying that, Du Jingyi started to walk out, but was stopped by Shang Ji.

 She said with a puzzled look on her face.

"What are you doing, general? I'm going to see my sister and my new nephew."

“It’s very cold outside. Your clothes are a bit thin. Please change before going. Remember to change your shoes too. Be careful of getting your shoes and socks wet.”

 He was still giving orders, but Cherry on the other end had already delivered the clothes.

 He added an extra rabbit fur quilt to her, put on suede shoes, and then wrapped her in the cloak tightly.

 Seeing that the whole person was buried, Shang Ji nodded with satisfaction, then took Du Jingyi's hand and walked out of the greenhouse door.

 “Let’s go, I’ll take you there.”

"General, you haven't had your breakfast yet, why don't I go by myself? It's easy to drive back and forth with a carriage and horse."

 “It’s just breakfast, nothing will happen if you don’t eat it.”

 Seeing his attitude, Du Jingyi had no choice but to let him go.

Shang Ji felt that he came back today at the right time, otherwise he would be very worried if his wife got the news and rushed to Du's house alone.

 Along the way, Du Jingyi felt so excited that the time was extremely long, and he even couldn't help but lift the curtain and look outside several times.

Seeing that the speed was slow, I immediately muttered to the front, "Go faster."

 Lao Yao, who was driving, looked helpless.

The lady inside the carriage shouted to go faster, but the general accompanying him outside the carriage told him to slow down with a cold face.

Having been a coachman for so many years, he felt that this job was really difficult for the first time. For a moment, he wanted to give up the job.

 Fortunately, sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly, I finally managed to get my wife to the door of Du's house without any danger.

As soon as he stopped, he saw that his wife was already preparing to get off the carriage.

 He quickly moved out of the way.

Shang Ji took two quick steps forward and hugged Du Jingyi down. Without letting go, he walked straight in.

Du Jingyi was embarrassed, so he said with a red face.

“General, I am pregnant and my foot is not injured. Why are you bringing me in?”

"The wind and snow are too strong, and I'm afraid of the slippery ground. I'll put you down when I get to the gate of Minse Courtyard."

“Instead of going to Mingse Courtyard, we have to go to Sister’s Quxi Courtyard.”

Shang Ji paused and thought about it, she couldn't have given birth in her parents' yard, so she spoke.

 “Ma’am, please show me the way.”

Seeing this, Du Jingyi snickered. She thought her husband knew how to get there just now.

So he pointed to the path on the right, and Shang Ji changed direction.

Along the way, I naturally saw many servants and ladies of the Du family.

They were also surprised when they saw their uncle coming back with the second young lady in his arms.

But they didn’t dare to say anything unnecessary, so they all stepped out of the way politely, lowering their heads and pretending not to notice.

 Not long after, the couple arrived at the entrance of Quxi Courtyard.

Shang Ji found a place on the dry ground and put Du Jingyi down. Yingying stepped forward to help her arrange her clothes before the two of them hurried inside.

Before anyone entered the main room, Du Jingyi heard a child crying.

 Suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes.

Shang Ji frowned and looked at her. He wanted to wipe her tears, but Du Jingyi waved his hand and said.

 “I’m fine, I’m happy, happy.”

“Hmm.” Shang Ji had never experienced the appearance of a newborn, but he remembered that he had hugged his nephew after he was born, so the soft side in his heart was brought out by the baby's cry.

 He held Du Jingyi's hand and blocked the coldness in his palm.

 He didn't speak until he was in front of the door.

"I'll wait for you on the porch. You can go in and take a look."

Du Jingyi nodded. His sister had just given birth and it must be hard to see people now.

 Shang Ji is also a foreigner, so he still has some sense of propriety.

"General, please don't stand outside the courtyard. Watch out the snow. Go and sit in the side room. I will come out after reading this."

"good."

After leaving Shang Ji with a comforting look, Du Jingyi turned around and pushed the door open.

 The furnishings of Quxi Courtyard are exactly the same as when my sister was at home, which reminded her of many things in the past.

At that time, the two sisters were still in the middle of nowhere. Unexpectedly, they were both mothers now. It felt like a world away.

Hearing the movement at the door, the people who were standing in the dormitory came out.

At a glance, Du Jingyi saw his mother holding a child and teasing her. Standing next to her was his sister's mother-in-law, He Lin. She was a slightly fat woman but looked easy to get along with.

Seeing Du Jingyi come in, Mrs. Du was a little shocked.

“Why are you here? It’s snowing and you don’t care about yourself?!”

"Don't worry, mother, the general is outside. I heard that my sister has given birth to a fat nephew. There is no place to sit down, so naturally I want to come over and have a look."

 Du Jingyi has already sent the things he prepared for his nephew these days.

The brocade quilt and coat that wrap the child now were embroidered by Lu Jue himself. Not only are the materials good, but the embroidery work is also beautiful.

After Du Jingyi approached, Yingtao quickly closed the door, fearing that the child would be cold.

 “I’ve met Aunt He.”

“Not too polite, not too polite, just look after yourself.”

"Um."

 It’s small, red, and will spit out bubbles from time to time.

Obviously she was still crying just now, but she stopped when she saw Du Jingyi approaching.

“Hey, why aren’t you crying? Maybe you knew I was coming and you behaved?”

Du Jingyi asked jokingly, and Aunt He answered smoothly.

“Who says no, this kid must like you.”

Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, the child started crying without hesitation at all, and even louder.

Du Jingyi hummed twice with a look of helplessness.

 “Smelly boy.”

Mrs. Du smiled when she saw this and called the wet nurse next to her.

 “Let’s take him and see if he has peed or is he hungry?”

 “Yes, ma’am.”

Mrs. Du had found the nurse long ago. She was a woman under thirty, and she looked gentle and well-behaved.

　　When holding the child in his arms, Du Jingyi noticed the love in her eyes.

 I felt a lot more relieved.

 After the wet nurse took the child away, Du Jingyi asked.

 “Where’s my sister? I’ll go see her.”

"She's asleep in there and hasn't woken up yet. You and I should go back to Minse Courtyard first. If we talk here, she will be disturbed."

Du Jingxiang had just given birth, so he was naturally exhausted.
