MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 203 happy mourning

Chapter 203: Happy and sad

 She was upset, but she didn't want to let others see her guilty conscience, so she sat upright, with her back even more upright than before.

I thought it was just people from Zhuangzi who came, but I didn’t expect that there was also Shang Yuan who looked full of sorrow.

Now he is supporting the entire fifth house, so he returned to the Duke's mansion in the name of coming to report the funeral.

As soon as they entered the room, before anyone had time to ask anything, they saw Shang Yu'an rushing in front of Shang Yukuan.

His nose was full of tears and he cried out.

 “Brother, my father has gone…”

The two of them have been brothers for decades. In the hard days of the past, they went to the mountains together to pick vegetables and went down to the river to catch fish.

Later, life became smoother and we still lived in the same place.

Over the past few decades, the brotherhood has naturally become more profound.

Therefore, seeing him crying so sadly, the Duke of Guo didn't stop for a moment, and then burst into tears.

“Fourth brother, what’s going on? Why did fifth uncle go so suddenly?”

Shang Yukuan's question made Mrs. Wei next to her feel a little uneasy.

Ever since Wufang went to Zhuangzi, she didn't pay much attention to it. Apart from instructing the people in Zhuangzi not to let them leave, she didn't ask whether the doctor was invited or not.

 So, over time, even she forgot about the fact that there were many patients in the five rooms.

Who would have thought that I would get such news today, and it would be Shang Yu'an who came to report it in person, so I was naturally a little flustered.

Shang Yuan, as if he knew what she was thinking, raised his head and looked at Mrs. Wei instead of his cousin.

 The resentment and resentment in her eyes made Mrs. Wei startled and she said unnaturally.

“Why does the fourth brother look at me like this? It’s not my fifth uncle who harmed me.”

Hearing this, Shang Yu'an pointed at Mrs. Wei's nose and cursed as if he had heard a joke.

"Didn't you hit my father? Didn't you throw us to Zhuangzi? Mrs. Wei, how come we used to call you sister-in-law and sister-in-law? You are so cruel. You really want to kill us all!"

His accusation made Grandma Jiao on the side immediately unconvinced.

"Fourth Master, please speak up and don't touch Mrs. Wei. After all, she is also the wife of the Duke of Guo, and you are not someone you can scorn at will."

"Slander? What am I slandering? Didn't anyone here see how Mrs. Wei beat my father that day? Now that he is gone, he is still blocking the road and refuses to let us sue. Could it be that he wants to force our whole family to go? Are you satisfied with death?"

Shang Yu'an's eyes turned red and he stared at the people in the main room and walked around in a circle, as if everyone was an executioner.

In the end, Shang Yukuan stepped forward, pulled him and said comfortingly.

“Whatever the fourth brother said, we are all members of the same family, so how can we force you to die?”

Hearing this, Shang Yu'an smiled bitterly, then knelt down in front of Shang Yukuan and kowtowed.

"My father is gone, and Wulang is ill with no visible symptoms. Poor Wulang's wife still has a baby in her belly, and I don't know if she will survive until the day she is born. Please have mercy on me, brother, and save our whole family." People."

Persimmons should be picked and pinched, and a soft-hearted person should be knelt down to plead for mercy.

He has lived in the Duke's palace for many years. If you still can't understand this, you are probably blind. As expected, when Shang Yukuan heard about the "tragic situation" of Wufang, he felt very unbearable and immediately spoke out.

"The third bedroom has been moved to the house on Osmanthus Alley. If you don't mind it, you can move there too. Originally, my father also had two houses. It's not a good idea to let my fifth uncle go there during the holidays."

 Hearing this, Mrs. Wei was furious.

Although moving to Osmanthus Alley is not a big deal, she has had a lot of enemies with Sanfang and Wufang in the past few months.

If these two families are all trying to deal with her, wouldn't they be asking for trouble?

So, he started to persuade me.

"Master, why don't you let the doctor go and take a look first? There is no suggestion of moving in the first month of the year. Besides, my fifth uncle has left, so it's better to take care of the aftermath first. If the coffin is not in the new house, it won't be good in the future. There are people here, doesn’t it mean that Wulang’s wife is about to give birth? To avoid collision.”

What Mrs. Wei said was reasonable and well-founded, but Du Jingyi felt that there was no way to refute it.

As expected, he is a person who has been in the back house for a long time, and he has the ability to turn things around with just his mouth.

However, Shang Yu'an was not easy to get along with. When one move failed, he had another move, so he cried and said to Shang Yukuan.

"My eldest brother and I will take care of my father's funeral, but Wulang and Wulang's wife can't delay it. The inside of the village is as cold as an ice cellar. I'm afraid that if they stay here any longer, they won't know how many days they will have to live. Well, please take pity on me and let the two children go to Osmanthus Alley first."

Each one can escape, and his wife naturally has to take care of her daughter-in-law, so their family can escape the danger in some cases.

Mrs. Wei looked at Shang Yuan coldly, but he would do the next best thing.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll let the housekeeper go down and let Wulang and Wulang's wife move there first. As for my uncle's funeral, you can go to the accounting office later to pay a thousand taels, and have it done in a grand way."

Hearing this, everyone had nothing to refute.

Although Mrs. Wei was not happy, she still couldn't get out of this dead money.

Shang Yu'an has been locked up in Zhuangzi these days, so he doesn't know anything about what's going on outside. He thought that they only had five rooms missing in the Duke's Mansion.

But I still have doubts in my heart, is the third room willing to move out?

So when I looked at Mrs. Wei's expression, she became a little more certain, and I knew that she must have used some evil method again.

Just as Du Jingyi thought, after a few things were done, Dongyuan was completely cleared.

Even when Shang Yu'an came back for the funeral, he didn't notice their presence.

Instead, they all blamed Mrs. Wei for the disaster.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi had some thoughts and wanted to bring some discomfort to Mrs. Wei. Otherwise, if she had a comfortable life, wouldn't she be sorry for her grandmother's "illness"?

So he started to care about it and glanced at his husband.

Shang Ji is not stupid either. After being silent for a long time, he finally spoke.

"The fifth uncle's grandfather passed away, and I, as the grandnephew, can't ignore it. Otherwise, the fourth brother and I will each contribute 500 taels. The seventh brother has not yet married, so we can give 300 taels. It can also be regarded as a tribute to the fifth uncle. Grandpa was all decent.”

 Five hundred taels, to Shang Ji, was like drizzle.

 But for Shang Shilang, it was a bad breath.

It is clear that the Duke's government has provided a thousand taels of funds, so why do they still have to pay?

 He is quite capable of calculating and summarizing the inside and outside.
