MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 187 Reveal the past

Chapter 187: Revealing the past

Fourth Aunt never felt that the only way out for a woman was to get married. Even if there was only such a way to choose from, she would still choose someone who could get along well with her and go hand in hand.

Rather than the "best" choice after weighing the pros and cons, there is no initiative.

 Her words made Gu Xiaolang burst into tears.

　　I immediately threw myself into my fourth aunt’s arms and started crying.

 It is precisely because the elders in the family love and care for her above all else that sometimes Gu Xiaolang doesn't even want to marry outside.

As soon as she cried, her third aunt also started to cry, and everyone in the room was filled with sadness.

 When Shang Ji came over, he happened to encounter this scene.

Standing outside the house, I dare not open the door and go in.

If he hadn't met Du Jingyi, I'm afraid he might have married this cousin for the sake of the Gu family in the end.

 But that was not what he wanted.

Therefore, no matter how much he couldn't bear it, he would not bother him at this time. He turned around and left with great determination.

By the time we returned to Xitang Courtyard, my sister-in-law Liu and my aunt Mrs. Xing had already left.

 Therefore, only Du Jingyi was leaning on the couch, wanting to rest for a while.

As soon as he saw Shang Ji walking in, Du Jingyi was a little confused when he saw that his face was not good-looking.

Isn’t the feast today pretty good?

So he asked softly.

 “General, what’s going on?”

Shang Ji walked up and sat down next to her, as if this was the only way to relax his slightly guilty heart.

“I originally wanted to go to Xu Laiyuan to visit my grandmother, but I overheard their conversation at the door. The Guo family was interested in cousin Lang, but my grandmother and fourth aunt were very opposed to it.”

"be opposed to?"

Although Du Jingyi could also see some of Mrs. Gu's thoughts, she was still a little surprised by such direct opposition.

“Well, they don’t want cousin Lang to marry because of family affairs. They are afraid that they will not live well in the future and will not have the chance to divorce.”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi also understood their worries.

 But although she understands it, she doesn’t quite agree with it from her point of view.

There has never been a relationship in this world that cannot be relied upon. Even if Shang Ji is as strong as he is, it is because of the Gu family that he is what he is today.

The same goes for the marriage with the Guo family.

 Instead of worrying about your future life, it is better to lay a solid foundation from the beginning.

In the eyes of outsiders anyway, the forces represented by the Guo family, the Gu family and Shang Ji have long been the prince's party, so whether they marry or not will not actually affect the opinions of outsiders.

Perhaps there is also the issue that the Gu family knows Gu Xiaolang's intentions, so they are unwilling to force him.

 But in Du Jingyi's opinion, this marriage is indeed a good one.

Since many people in the Gu family have concerns and are unwilling to take it, Xue Niang can take a look.

 Firstly, you don’t have to marry far away, and secondly, you will be loved by many people.

It’s just that everything about the appearance of the Guo family’s Shiro is very suitable, so the only thing that needs to be examined is the character issue.

This is something that she, a housewife, is really beyond her ability to do.

 Therefore, he told Shang Ji the purpose of his sister-in-law's visit today.

 After listening, Shang Ji also fell silent.

A housewarming banquet at the General's Mansion actually made the fourth son of the Guo family a favorite. Neither Shang Ji nor Du Jingyi expected this.

 But now that the problem has been posed, the couple must solve it.

 So, Shang Ji thought about it and said it.

"Since grandma and the others have no interest in the Guo family, let's forget about it. I will see the prince another day, and then I'll talk about Snow Lady in a sideways way. One is my cousin and the other is my biological sister. No matter which one she is, I guess. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is happy to see this happen.”

 After hearing this, Du Jingyi also agreed very much.

It’s just that the couple have good ideas, but things in this world are a little twisty and unexpected.

 After the housewarming party, we rested for two days.

Those who mobilized troops in the general's mansion went to Zhuangzi in Wuling.

Of course, what was said to the outside world was that Mrs. Gu was not feeling well and needed to rest and recuperate for a few days.

Everyone knows that there are many hot spring pools in Wuling, so they don't find it strange, except that the Duke's Mansion received some scolding.

The chariots and horses of the General's Mansion set off one after another, and Shang Ji's personal guards followed behind them, so they occupied a small half of the street.

  It's just that they are all kind and polite people, so it didn't cause much disturbance.

　　However, the Duke’s Office has done nothing these days. It seems as if someone is watching. Old stories are constantly being retold and "dirty" water thrown at her.

 In Yunjin Courtyard.

  Princess Fu looked sullen, while Mrs. Wei and Shang Shilang sitting next to her were also unhappy.

 Silang's wife did not show up because she had to take care of Shang Zhihe.

As for the Duke Shang Yukuan, he did not care about anything with a flick of his sleeves.

 So, only the daughter and two sons of Mrs. Wei were present at this moment, including the reluctant Shang Qilang.

"The rumors outside are so unpleasant. I wish I could say that our family is all evil-hearted, and your father doesn't care. I really have no choice, so I called you three brothers and sisters to come over and give me some advice."

 Ever since Madam Gu fainted over and over again because of people from the Wei family, the people who had been in contact with them had become polite.

The New Year is approaching, and sending some New Year gifts that are neither salty nor mild is just following the old rules and not at all as serious as before.

Mrs. Wei could feel that the circle of ladies in Sui'an City was alienating her intentionally or unintentionally.

 This is not a good thing, especially when Qilang's scientific examination is about to take place, it is the time to make connections.

Last time, Shang Ji blocked the door and couldn't get in.

 Now, he has encountered obstacles in poetry meetings one after another, which makes Shang Qilang feel very sad.

 The situation of Princess Fu was not much better.

Originally, she relied on Prince Fu Fu and Princess Yuehua to gain some respect in front of everyone, but now because of Mrs. Gu's attitude, many people are at odds with her. She has always had a harsh temper and can't bear it. No.

So he opened his mouth and spoke.

“Mother, why don’t we let my grandfather’s family find a time to hold a banquet? In our own territory, it’s natural to want to save some face.”

"I haven't thought about it, but now that the Chinese New Year is only a few days away, we have to wait until after the Lantern Festival to organize the banquet."

Mrs. Wei was also anxious, but she had to hold back the punches she struck, and she was holding her breath.

"And I have asked my father and brother carefully. They mean to use Jialian's hairpin gift to hold a big party. Can't the Gu family invite people from the royal family? The same goes for the Wei family. They will not send the same post. Go to the General's Mansion, since they want to do things in a quarrel, then we don't have to be polite."

The number of votes for Xiaoxiang has exceeded 1,500. I will give you an extra update tomorrow~~~

　　　A new month, a new beginning, I wish everyone is full of energy~~
