MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 228 housework

"Your arrangement will definitely be the best, but don't worry too much. Just pay attention to your health."

“General, don’t worry, I will understand.”

Du Jingyi had already eaten, so she was not hungry at the moment, but she still took a few bites with Shang Ji.

 It's just that compared to Shang Ji's feast, she seemed to have eaten a lot less.

 After Shang Ji was full, Du Jingyi continued.

“Today, Grandma Guo is accompanied by the Third Madam and Young Madam Feng. This Young Madam Feng is quite a wonderful person. I see that her temperament is somewhat the same as that of my aunt, and we are both familiar with her.”

“The second daughter of the Guo family is famous for making friends in Sui’an City. She looks lively, but her temperament is not as sincere as that of my aunt, so it’s better to be cautious.”

 For Shang Ji, except for those who have passed his test, he is very suspicious of everyone.

 Hence, Mrs. Feng did not get any obvious good cards from him.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi nodded. She also meant the same thing. Mrs. Feng could make friends, but she still had to pay more attention if she wanted to make friends deeply.

 After thinking about it, I finally told him about Du Jingxian.

 Shang Ji listened silently and did not give an answer immediately, but it did not mean that he was not thinking.

Du Jingyi also knew it, so he didn’t interrupt.

After a while, he spoke.

"The day after tomorrow, I will accompany you back to the Du family. If this matter comes out, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult for you and your father-in-law. With me here, it will be better."

More than just a few, with Shang Ji's support, even if someone like Shangshu of Jin wants to secretly undermine it, they have to weigh it carefully.

Du Jingyi was not polite and said with a smile.

“Then I would like to thank the general for his support on behalf of my parents~”

 “You, ghost spirit.”

After saying this, the couple looked at each other and smiled, then took a rest and turned off the lights and fell asleep.

 Have a good night's dream until dawn.

In the next few days, the General's Mansion was actively preparing for Xue Niang's wedding banquet at the end of February, especially the sister-in-law Liu, who regarded this matter as the most important thing at present, so she was very concerned about it.

With her taking care of them, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi, who were supposed to be in charge of the overall situation in the mansion, both appeared at the Du family today.

Compared to the time when Du Jingyi returned to the door, the cars and horses parked at the door were even worse.

The servants above and below were all on guard, fearing that something would happen today, so they all stood outside the courtyard in a dignified manner, waiting for orders.

At this moment, the main hall of the Du family was also full of people.

The ones at the top were naturally Mr. Du and Mrs. Du. Their faces today were very ugly, with a hint of disdain in their seriousness. From time to time, they would cast their eyes on the indignant relatives.

Master Du Er and Du Fourth, who had been the loudest in the past, were very submissive at this time. They also knew that Du Jingxian had caused a disaster this time.

If Du Jingyi didn't have his current status, and people outside would have cared a little bit, they would be afraid that their concierge would be overthrown.

 So, both father and son are no different from a lost dog with its tail between its legs. Like them, who lowered their heads and dared not speak casually, there was also the youngest son of the Shangshu family of Jin. It was he who took Du Jingxian everywhere to swindle the money.

So now the Minister of Jin came to the door angrily to ask for an explanation. He wished that he could pull out the disappeared Du Jingxian and whip his corpse to appease his hatred.

It's a pity that Shang Ji and Du Jingyi arrived not long after he arrived.

 After seeing Shang Ji, no matter how angry he was, he could only endure it at this moment.

 Therefore, people standing and sitting in the main hall were very lively.

Mr. Du sat at the top and saw the dissatisfied and discordant expressions of his relatives. He felt like he was in a mirror. These were his relatives.

 Happiness must be shared together, and difficulties must be stepped on.

It’s really ridiculous.

Then after taking a look at his second uncle Shang Ji, he also had a plan in mind, and then he cleared his throat and said something.

“Everyone must know what the Minister of Jin is here for today, so let’s talk about it. How should we solve this matter?”

He is not a living Bodhisattva. He has to clean up the mess for his nephew in a hurry.

Three hundred thousand taels, which is just enough for the Du family.

But if the Du family and his wife are willing to take out the money and plug the hole, that is another story.

So, before Mr. Du Er and Mr. Du could speak, Mrs. Du snorted coldly and said to Shangshu Jin.

"Master Shangshu may not know something. As early as a few months ago, Du Jingxian abused the name of our Du family to sell counterfeit medicines. After being discovered by his colleagues, he tried to frame us. Afterwards, not only did he not repent, he even yelled It is said that our couple gave him this idea for the purpose of making huge profits."

"Fortunately, the family's accounts were clear, and the people in the Chamber of Commerce were all clear-sighted and clear-sighted people. They took out the evidence and made it so difficult that he almost reported it to the officials before he admitted it. So at that time, our couple I wrote a letter to the merchants and the government, saying that it was divided into two parts, and although I have the Du family name, I am no longer a stranger."

After Mrs. Du said this eloquently, Shangshu Jin looked sideways at his youngest son, eager to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

He was really shrewd all his life, but in the end he was dragged down by his son.

He was still such an idiot, so he couldn't help but slap him in the face.

"I said earlier that your heart is as high as the sky and your life is as thin as paper. Even if you want to do business, you should find out the past affairs of that person. If you choose such a person who is rejected by the whole family, you deserve to have trouble!"

The Minister of Jin scolded him so unpleasantly that the young man of the Jin family couldn't help crying.

“Father Mingjian, when Du Jingxian came to see me, he made it clear that people from the Duke’s Office were involved. My son thought that since the Duke’s Office was the guarantor, he naturally didn’t know much about it. Who knows…”

 “Who knows what?”

"Who knew that the person from the Duke's Mansion he was talking about would be Sanlang from Guihua Lane? If my son knew about it, how could he be stupid enough to vouch for him? Now that his friends are gone and his reputation is ruined, what will happen to his son in the future? I don’t even know how to be a human being!”

The young man of the Jin family cried, but he felt a bit of genuine regret.

Although Du Jingxian deserves to die, he really made the mistake of trusting others.

Had he investigated the mess that Du Jingxian and the Du family had caused from the beginning, as his father said, he would not have boarded the pirate ship.

Now I really want to die, and I don't know how to survive in the circle of young masters in Sui'an City in the future.
