MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 157 He family

Mrs. Du did not expect that her youngest daughter would come despite the wind and snow, so she was not prepared.

 Then he said to Helin a little apologetically.

“I’ll ask my mother-in-law to watch over here first, and I’ll take Tangtang and his wife over to talk for a while.”

"You can go in peace. If Xiangxiang wakes up, I will send someone to tell you."

Aunt He assured her as soon as she patted her chest that she was not a woman who cared about things, and that her daughter-in-law worked so hard, so she should take care of her.

Mrs. Du nodded, and then took Du Jingyi out of the door.

As soon as he went out, he saw his second uncle Shang Ji standing in the yard. There was already a lot of falling snow on his body, and he felt cold just looking at it.

So he hurriedly waved and said.

 “Let’s go, let’s go to Mingse Courtyard first. It’s so cold that it’ll be troublesome if we freeze.”

Shang Ji, who is made of steel and iron, once slept in the suburbs for a day and a night when there was a heavy snowstorm in Cezhou.

 Hence this bit of wind and frost is like drizzle to him, it just looks cold.

Du Jingyi was also distressed. Didn't he tell him to wait in the side room?

 Why are you standing still in the heavy snow?

Seeing them coming out, Shang Ji quickly walked over in two steps.

 “My son-in-law has met my mother-in-law.”

“Let’s go, your father and the others are waiting in the Minse Courtyard.”

"Um."

Shang Ji patted the snow on her body and wanted to step forward and hug Du Jingyi away, but she felt that it was not good to be too intimate in front of her mother.

So he waved his hands secretly and said something specifically.

“Let me hold my mother’s arm. It will be safer to walk like this.”

“Okay, Cherry should also support Miss Dian and be careful when she falls.”

 “Yes, ma’am.”

Shang Ji saw that he couldn't go in, so he didn't say much more. He walked silently behind the three of them, but his eyes carefully followed Du Jingyi's every step.

 Fortunately, there is a connecting corridor between Quxi Courtyard and Mingse Courtyard, so there was no chance of heavy snow falling all the way there.

Just because of Du Jingyi's body, I walked a little slower. Normally, I could get there with just a cup of tea, so I just delayed it for a while.

When we entered the main room of Minse Courtyard, the warmth became overwhelming.

The maids came over with hot water handkerchiefs and wiped everyone's hands and took off their cloaks.

When Mr. Du saw Du Jingyi, he was talking to others, but he stood up with a surprised look on his face and asked.

"Why are you here? You're not afraid of such heavy snow..."

 The word "accident" was on his lips, so Mr. Du quickly stopped. He couldn't talk carelessly at this time.

Du Jingyi also felt a little helpless.

When her parents saw her, the first thing they said was this, as if it was inappropriate for her to come here this time.

But he also knew that it was all for her own good, so he walked forward and said with a smile.

 “I miss my daddy.”

 “That’s nonsense, I obviously want to see your nephew!”

 After saying this, the father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, but did not pay attention to the brother-in-law He Shilin and his father who were still standing next to them.

Mr. Du is not someone who ignores people, so he quickly introduced him.

“I made my father-in-law laugh. This is the young daughter Jingyi. That is her husband-in-law, the young prince of the Duke of Shang, and your Majesty’s personal general.”

 Then he said to the couple.

"I just met your Aunt He. Come on, this is your Uncle He. They also came from Pingzhou a few days ago."

　　It’s hard to walk on the road in this snowy weather.

　　Obviously they were more than half a month in advance because they were worried that their daughter-in-law would be born early and delay the time to catch up.

Who knew it was still more than ten days late, but fortunately, we caught up with the birth of our grandson.

 Therefore, Uncle He looked happy, tall and thin, as if he was an eminent person.

 “Hello, uncle.”

Du Jingyi called him sweetly, while Shang Ji, who was standing next to him, cupped his fists and shouted calmly.

“Uncle.” Uncle He saw Shang Ji and Du Jingyi for the first time, and his reaction was exactly the same as his son’s.

The He family is an ordinary family, but Shang Ji is a majestic general, so he immediately stood up and replied.

“I don’t dare to be a general, I don’t dare to be a general. The reputation of a general spreads far and wide. We are also well-known in Pingzhou. I didn’t expect to see a real person today.”

Mr. Du asked with a smile.

"How is it? How is my second uncle better than you imagined?"

Hobov paused for a moment before speaking.

 “It’s comparable to Mr. Guan being alive.”

Hearing this, Mr. Du and everyone present laughed. It was Shang Ji who didn't have a beard, otherwise his big beard would have added a bit more pride to him.

"By the way, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet. My brother-in-law is Xi Tilin'er. How about it? Are you so happy that you can't even open your mouth from ear to ear?"

Du Jingyi said jokingly.

He Shilin was still a little confused at this moment. Although his wife was ten months pregnant, she had already been prepared for it.

 But when the child actually landed on the ground and was held in his hands, he was still a little unresponsive, so he smiled and touched his head and said.

 “Happy, but also a little confused.”

“Look at my silly son, he’s already a father and he’s still confused?”

Uncle He is a cheerful person and loves to joke, so even if Shang Ji is present, he can talk happily and not be very reserved.

With him here, the Du family is very lively.

Mr. Du is well-informed and Uncle He is funny and talkative. With the two of them around, the place is never cold.

Mrs. Du saw that the men were discussing some external matters, so she stood up and said.

“Tangtang and my second uncle came in a hurry, so I went to ask the kitchen to prepare more dishes. We finally got together, and we must have two more drinks today to make it lively.”

Hearing what she said, Du Jingyi also stood up and walked over.

“Then let me go with my mother to have a look. How about decorating it in the flower hall?”

 “Okay, let’s go.”

 Knowing that mother and daughter had something to say, Shang Ji did not follow them.

 After sitting down, I listened carefully to what my father-in-law was saying, adding a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was warm.

Everyone in the Du family uses earth dragons, so they don't feel cold at all while sitting in the flower hall.

If the greenhouse hadn't been built yet, I'm afraid the two of them would have gone inside to talk.

Mrs. Du helped her daughter sit down and said with a little distress.

"You haven't completely settled down yet. Even in the snowy weather, you still want to run home. If you come back after the New Year, you won't miss it in a day or two."

"It's the New Year? My nephew is already one month old, so it's not appropriate for me to come. Mom, don't think too much about it. I'm fine. Besides, the general is with me, so I'll be fine."

"Why did he come with you today? Didn't he say he was training in the camp?"

Mrs. Du knew a little about her uncle's affairs, so she asked.

“Mother is so busy that she must have forgotten. Today is the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, which is an auspicious day for the General’s Mansion to move.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Du slapped her head.

 Sisters, I saw your message.

Let me explain here in a unified way, why do you feel that the content updated last night is duplicated?

 It’s because I re-edited the content of the previous 150 chapters, and then expanded the content, so I extended it a little further.

If sisters have time, you can look back and you will find the new content~

However, it was indeed due to personal issues that I re-edited it, which resulted in three extra chapters of subscription fees.

  I don’t know what channel I can use to return it, so I’ll make up for it in the form of supplementary updates!

 I owed you 6 chapters before, so I added it to 3 chapters.

  That is, 1 chapter was 2k before, and now 1 chapter is 4k.

 In this case, everyone is spending the price of 3 chapters to read 6 chapters.

 Is this method OK?

If possible, then I will start updating from tomorrow, 4k a day, for 3 days in a row~~~
