MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 235 Good things come true

 A sentence of congratulations still made He Shilin return to the name of the examinee.

If he is really a capable person, he will jump over the dragon gate. This is very clear to Shang Ji.

 Just after the disputes in the court ended, something happened to the Jin family.

The people of Fadosi would not easily let go of such a good opportunity to be appreciated in front of the prince, so they rushed to Jin's house with their men.

The housekeeper had the intention to stop him, but the other party held a royal token in his hand. Even if he had the intention, he could not do anything. He could only watch helplessly as they dragged away the sleeping young man of the Jin family.

　　He was not even dressed properly when he left. Even though it was February, it was still cold in the morning and evening, and he was shivering from the cold soon.

Shouting "Unjust".

 But it is the people of Fadus who have the final say whether the case is unjust or not.

　　Seeing the commotion like this, everyone in the Jin family went to seek justice for their younger brother in anger. However, after gathering people to go out, they were blocked at the door by the Minister of Jin who happened to come back.

His eyes narrowed, showing a bit of solemnity.

 “What are you going to do?”

“Father, my brother was inexplicably taken away by Fadosi’s people without revealing any reason to us. Isn’t this a blatant robbery? My son is about to ask for an explanation!”

Hearing his son's answer, the Shangshu of Jin, oh no, it was the Shilang Zuo of Jin, whose face became more and more ugly. He reached out and slapped the leader, causing his head to buzz.

"I want an explanation? It's useless to keep a traitor like that who is causing harm to the family. Why don't you all get out of here! Don't you think our Jin family has been implicated enough?"

 His words shocked everyone present.

After all, they knew about the failure of the Jin family's young man's fundraising, but they didn't know it yet because they came to force everyone in the Du family to die.

 So after seeing how ugly his father's face was, he didn't dare to do it again.

 And this was just the beginning of the Jin family's misfortune.

After he was demoted to Zuo Shilang, Mr. Jin fell ill. The illness was so severe that he couldn't even get out of bed. The Jin family members also closed their doors to avoid the limelight under his strong restraint.

Poor young man from the Jin family, his body was whipped by his father and his chest was sore from being kicked. After entering Fatu Si's house, his body was even more damaged.

 So he will bite whoever he is allowed to bite.

In the end, many of the forces that the fourth prince had just established were eliminated in a row, causing panic among the people in the court.

　　Many officials who were a little wavering before, now stand beside the prince after this incident. The situation of ebb and flow suppressed the fourth prince very passively.

Amidst this turbulent situation, the General's Mansion ushered in a particularly lively happy event, which was the hairpin wedding banquet for the merchant's eighth lady, Xue Niang.

If Wei Jialian's hairpin wedding banquet was brilliant enough a month ago, then Shang Xueniang's hairpin wedding banquet at this moment is completely used as a reason for the celebration of the prince's party, so it is even more precious.

 The General's Mansion was packed with guests and distinguished guests, and it was extremely lively with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Everyone has a smile on their face, but today the coldness of winter has been swept away, and everything is filled with the relief of spring.

 In the front hall, today's Shang Ji, Du Jingyi and everyone in their family are bright-eyed and well-groomed.

He is now the prince's right-hand man, and whoever sees him would not want to pay him a compliment.

 In addition, Du Jingyi next to them has become the person that the ladies are competing to socialize with, so the couple is surrounded by many people. My sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, was very good at dancing today. She was probably in a good mood because there had been some progress in the store recently.

 Coupled with the fact that it was Snow Lady’s matter, she was naturally worried.

Shang Ji and his wife were also happy from the bottom of their hearts when they saw that she had returned to the matronly spirit she had been so many years ago.

Shang Zhiping followed Xing Zhao inseparably. Since they met Yan Sanlang last time, they have become somewhat close.

Moreover, Xing Zhao and Yan Sanlang are both outgoing and active people, which makes Shang Zhiping make harmless jokes from time to time, so they look like teenagers.

Although he is not yet in high spirits, he has already made rapid progress compared to last year.

It's just that although Yan Sanlang said these words to Xing Zhao and Shang Zhiping, his eyes always drifted to Gu Xiaolang not far away. He had not spoken to this favorite young lady since he entered the door today.

It’s a pity that King Xiang has a dream and the goddess is ruthless.

Although Gu Xiaolang's eyes are missing his cousin Shaoyu, there is no more Yan Sanlang in his eyes, so he just chats and laughs with the little sisters he knows well.

He didn't notice the hot eyes here. On the contrary, the people who came to the Duke's Mansion today were a little embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with themselves.

Shang Ji wouldn't even bother to post about Xu Niang's hairpin ceremony banquet if possible.

However, the Duke Shang Yukuan is the father of Xue Niang, so it would be inappropriate not to be present. Mrs. Wei, Shiro's family and Qi Lang also followed in with great interest.

　　After a year, they finally entered the gate of the General's Mansion.

 The more I saw it, the more dissatisfied I became.

　　　Why can he live a life of superiority to others because he is the heir of a merchant? However, although they "exclusively occupy" the Duke's Mansion, there is no change from before, and they are still living in Xiyuan.

 Shang Qilang's face showed some sincere celebration, but for the rest, it would have been nice if he didn't curse secretly behind his back.

 Grand Duke Shang Yukuan smiled very reluctantly today.

No matter how dull he is, he knows that he is not welcome in the general's palace, especially when he took his family to greet Mrs. Gu just now, the snort was very obvious.

 Then, Mrs. Gu turned around and walked away without saying another word.

He knew very well in his heart that if today's occasion was not so lively, she would probably try to bully him again. The reason why he could endure it now was just for the sake of Xue Niang and Liu Lang's face.

Hence, he doesn’t want to go up.

 What surprised him a little was that Shang Sanlang was present at the banquet today.

Even though there is no one else in the third room except him, it is really unpredictable that he will come, or that he can come in.

Seeing the group of them standing awkwardly, Shang Sanlang took it easy and walked over to say hello.

 “I’ve met my uncle, my aunt, my fourth brother, my fourth brother and sister, and my seventh brother.”

 Several merchant brothers and sisters basically grew up together. Although they belong to different houses, there is nothing wrong with calling them so.

Moreover, Shang Sanlang can be regarded as a somewhat motivated person among the brothers, so they will not deliberately create difficulties.
