MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 170 I have something to ask for
Chapter 170 I have something to ask for
Mrs. Wei naturally followed her up, but unfortunately she was stopped by Nanny Qin.
She was born with a kind-hearted nature, but now she said it with an expressionless face.
“The old lady only said to invite the Duke to go in and meet her. As for Mrs. Wei, let’s wait outside.”
One sentence made Mrs. Wei very embarrassed.
Looking at Shang Yukuan, his eyes were full of grievance.
"This...isn't this appropriate? Aunt Qin, we are here together to meet my mother-in-law, so why don't we let her in?"
“The old slave is only responsible for passing on the message. If the Duke of Guo has any dissatisfaction, he can tell the old lady himself.”
She looked so indifferent that Shang Yukuan didn't dare to say anything.
When facing the Gu family, he was always a little shy, not to mention that they were still dwarves who came to visit now.
Had no choice but to say to Mrs. Wei.
“Just wait, I’ll go in and talk to my mother-in-law for a few words and then come out.”
“Master…”
Mrs. Wei was unwilling, but she had no choice.
In the end, she had no choice but to watch Shang Yukuan enter the door, and then she was blowing the cold wind in the corridor, and no one came out to guide her to sit in the side room.
What a waste of time to be humiliated like this.
Shang Yukuan felt a lot warmer as soon as he entered the house. Compared with the outside, it was as comfortable as a spring day here.
He was a little surprised, but he didn't know why.
Looking around, he felt that this house seemed different from the previous one, but before he could speak, he saw that he was already in front of Mrs. Gu.
Over the years, Shang Yukuan has been a little scared every time he saw Mrs. Gu.
This kind of fear is not because of any wrongdoing, but simply because I feel that Mrs. Gu’s aura is too strong, so I can only smile and salute to Mrs. Gu.
“My son-in-law has met my mother-in-law. How is your mother-in-law?”
Mrs. Gu didn't even raise her head, she just took the tea at hand and drank it.
As for Gu Xiaolang, he had already hid behind the inner screen. After all, he was an unmarried girl and it was not easy to meet "outsiders" too much.
Seeing that Mrs. Gu didn't answer, Shang Yukuan was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.
Seeing that beads of sweat were about to appear on her forehead, Mrs. Gu slowly spoke.
“I’m worried about you, my old lady is very good.”
Hearing this, Shang Yukuan breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly.
“Mother-in-law will go north this time, so she needs to stay longer, so that I...let Rokuro, Xue Niang and others do their best to fulfill their filial piety.”
When he said this, he was somewhat sincere, but it was a pity that Mrs. Gu showed a hint of ridicule when she heard it.
Since Mrs. Gu's absence, he has had very little contact with the Gu family.
In the past few years, I would still think of sending something to Jinling City, but now I will only send the same thing to the Wei family. As if he were an emperor and a courtier, his heart felt so cold.
Mrs. Gu's face did not move, she only glanced at him coldly, and then spoke bluntly.
"If you have any questions, please just tell me. Our friendship is beyond the scope of our friendship."
Hearing this, Shang Yukuan's face turned very ugly.
Mrs. Gu’s directness made him a little embarrassed, and he naturally knew that he was in no position to say the following words.
But for the sake of the people at home, he had to make this trip, so he had to speak out no matter how difficult it was.
"Mother-in-law is joking. When you return from the north this time, you will naturally hold a reception banquet. My son-in-law heard that all the posts in the General's Mansion on the 19th have been sent out, and many members of the royal family have been invited, so... So I thought I should bring the children over to have some fun, after all, we are all a family."
After hearing what he said, not to mention Mrs. Gu, even Grandma Qin beside her felt disgusted.
It sounds nice to say that we are here to be lively and lively, but in fact, don’t we just want to get in touch with these dignitaries?
Of the two sons and one daughter born by Webster, only Shang Qilang is left unaccounted for. It seems that this is what the couple had in mind.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu said with a smile.
"I am not the one who can make the decision in this general's mansion. It's not up to me to interfere with whether you come or not. If you want to come, you can talk to Shao Yu yourself."
"But my old lady would like to remind you that you and we can barely be considered a family. As for those in the Duke's mansion, don't get involved. My old lady is old and cannot withstand stimulation. If someone accidentally lets this happen, If something bad happens, hum, Lord, I'm afraid the merchants can't keep it."
Although the words were spoken softly and delicately, they sounded very threatening.
Shang Yukuan is a person who cannot stand pressure. Not to mention when facing Mrs. Gu, even when facing his own son Shang Ji, he always gives priority to compromise.
He was sweating profusely in an instant, and said with a smile.
“Mother-in-law, are you kidding? They are all the children of our businessman. How can we not be a family?”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu stared at him carefully for a while, staring at the Duke Shang Yukuan until her back felt a little cold, before she spoke.
“Since the Duke wants to discuss it with me, let’s discuss it.”
"They are all the children of merchants? Why is there no Da Lang? Why does Liu Lang live in the Gu family for a long time? What kind of life is Xue Niang living? And Ping'er! Aren't their surnames Shang?"
"Master Guo, if it weren't for your father's life-saving grace, would my old lady like you? Marrying Yun He into the Duke's palace is the only wrong thing I have done in my life. You are not worthy of being a human being. My husband is not worthy of being a father!"
"If you still have any sense of shame, please go back with the new lady outside the door. My old lady can still turn a blind eye and tolerate two points. If you want to play tricks on the face of your Duke's palace, If you come to this general's mansion, don't blame me for being rude!"
She was full of energy when she said these words.
Even though he is now gray-haired and seventy years old, his power has not diminished at all.
Hearing Mrs. Gu's question, Shang Yukuan immediately panicked and knelt on the ground and hurriedly explained.
"My mother-in-law has wronged me. This older man is my first child. How can I not be sad when he dies of illness? But life has to go on, and I can't live for him."
"As for President Liulang living in the Gu family, it's because he has loved wielding swords and guns since he was a child. You also know that since the death of my father, the power of the Duke's mansion has not been as strong as it used to be. As a father, I can't let it go because I am incompetent. You must have held the child back, so you sent him to the Gu family."
“There is also Snow Lady and Heping’er, haven’t they all grown up well? Why would my mother-in-law say this, as if my son-in-law had treated them harshly?”
