MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 220 Everyone has their own thoughts
Therefore, when Du Jingyi heard Madam Guo San's gesture of goodwill, she felt that her worries were not in vain, so she responded with a smile.
"She is the eighth sister. She used to be young and there were many brothers and sisters in the house, so she rarely came out. Now that she is the only girl in our general's house, she naturally needs to be brought out to see the world."
Although Du Jingyi didn't mention a word about Mrs. Wei in his words, the meaning was very obvious, that is, she treated Xue Niang poorly.
In fact, let alone Snow Niang, even if she has a sister-in-law, she did not necessarily have much status and respect in the Duke's palace in the past.
But now she is the only unmarried young lady in the general's residence, so she is naturally looked upon with all kinds of doting. Therefore, she also wants to tell Madam Guo San that Xue Niang is the heart and soul of the general's residence.
Everyone present is a human spirit, how could they not understand this meaning?
So Mrs. Guo San showed extra enthusiasm, and this move also gave Du Jingyi hope.
Looking sideways at Mrs. Guo's expression, she saw that she was also looking at Xue Niang with joy, and she also showed the love and concern of her elders. Du Jingyi had taken most of this reassurance.
Compared with Xueniang's "popularity", Gu Xiaolang is much more low-key.
Her ambition was not here, so she sincerely hoped that this cousin could marry into the Guo family and enjoy happiness, so she restrained a lot of her own charm.
And this calmness and attentiveness actually attracted a lot of attention from the Crown Princess.
Recalling what her mother and sister-in-law said to her after the last palace flower order, her interest naturally arose.
The Crown Princess came from the Earl of Weiyuan Palace and was the second daughter in the family. She had an elder brother and two brothers. One was just in her early teens and the other was only sixteen years old.
For the marriage between the two, everyone in the family, from the grandmother to the mother to the sister-in-law, was not uninterested.
It is a pity that most of the good ideas in Earl Weiyuan's residence come from the eldest brother and the second sister, so the third and fourth brothers are not very good.
Da Xiaochang lives in the city of Sui'an, and he has quite the romantic temperament that a young master should have. Although he is not as good as asking for flowers and willows, he still eats as much as he can at any banquet.
The government assigned them idle positions, but it was just in name.
So the family has always wanted to find an upright and decent daughter-in-law to go back and suppress their tempers. It's just that whether she will be matched with Sanlang or Silang, the Earl of Weiyuan's house has not yet decided.
Finally, he decided to bring both of them to see Gu Xiaolang. It would be great if they could get acquainted with each other.
So, when she saw that the Guo family was focusing all their attention on Xue Niang, she felt extremely happy, so she said to Gu Xiaolang.
“My mother-in-law’s family is also here. My sister-in-law praised Miss Gu so much last time and said she wanted to meet her. I’ll take you over to have a look.”
Meetings in the aristocratic family compound are never just about eating, especially the young ladies who are not yet married, they all choose this opportunity to see each other.
Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaolang both understood what the Crown Princess meant, but Gu Xiaolang didn't want to have anything to do with the young masters in Sui'an City, so he was reluctant.
“If a minister is plain and pretty, with no talent or elegance, she is afraid that the minister’s wife will laugh at her.”
"Hey, if Miss Gu is not talented and elegant, then we may not be able to choose a good one among all the ladies in Sui'an City. Your name in Jinling City is so famous that I have heard about it in Sui'an City. If you pass, don’t be polite.”
The Crown Princess finally found such a suitable candidate, so naturally she didn't want to let him go, so her tone became more unquestionable.
Gu Xiaolang looked at Du Jingyi in embarrassment. Du Jingyi, a cousin-in-law, also knew that his grandmother did not want her granddaughter to marry far away, so she came to the rescue.
"Mrs. Shilang is really interested in Cousin Lang. Why don't I go and have a look? Since I'm here, I should pay my respects to Mrs. Weiyuan Bo and her." In terms of status and status, they are all superior to each other. From the General's Mansion, so Du Jingyi is right to say so.
It was just about looking at each other, so it didn’t matter if there was one more person or one less person, so the Crown Princess agreed with a smile.
How could Mrs. Guo not understand the thoughts of the Earl of Weiyuan family, but she understood the thoughts of her elder sister Mrs. Gu better, so she knew that this matter could not be accomplished, so naturally she didn't say much, she just said something to Du Jingyi.
"You can take Lang'er and go without worries. My third wife and I will just talk to Xue Niang here."
“Thank you, Madam Guo, for taking care of me. Do you know that Snow Lady needs to be obedient?”
“Sister-in-law Six, don’t worry.”
After saying this, Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaolang followed the princess to meet the people at Earl Weiyuan's Mansion, and when they left, they did not forget to cast their eyes on the side of their husband Shang Ji.
Although Shang Ji was chatting with the prince and others, Yu Guang never left Du Jingyi's place.
Firstly, she is pregnant, so she naturally needs to be more careful. Secondly, there is no elder around to take care of her this time, so she inevitably needs to be more careful.
Seeing Du Jingyi's look, he immediately found an excuse.
“Your Highness, before I leave home, my grandmother has something to say to Mrs. Guo, so I will go over and have a few words before coming back.”
The prince glanced not far away and understood what he meant, so there was a lot of teasing in his eyes.
“Okay, go ahead, go ahead, I know you are using words as a cover.”
After hearing this, Shang Ji remained calm and his heart did not beat. On the contrary, Zong Liangdi next to him laughed out loud.
"I have never seen General Shang look like this before. It seems that the young lady must have the ability to tie General Shang's heart and refuse to leave for a moment longer."
According to Zong Li's previous status, he could not reach as high as Shang Ji. Now he can use Shang Ji as a joke. It really complies with the saying, a fox pretends to be a tiger.
It’s just that Shang Ji didn’t talk too much with her and left after clasping his fists and saluting.
Seeing that he was not giving her face, Zong Li's beautiful face flashed with embarrassment.
“Your Highness…”
She snuggled into the prince's arms delicately. Although she didn't say it clearly, the meaning was very clear. Shang Ji was so disrespectful, which made her a little embarrassed.
The prince said softly in relief.
“Rokuro Takeru is never polite, just don’t take it to heart.”
Seeing the prince's reaction, Zong Li did not dare to say anything more.
With her current favor, it is only new for a while. If she wants to fight against a humerus like Shang Ji, she will only be asking for trouble.
Therefore, she didn’t say anything more, but she still secretly made a note in her heart, waiting to find a place to retrieve it later, to tell him to look down on her!
With a few steps, Shang Ji walked up to Xue Niang, saluted Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Guo and said hello.
