Chapter 14 Meeting the Eldest Sister-in-Law

Sister-in-law Liu has been taking care of her all these years.

So, she is not lacking in love.

When she heard her sixth brother say this, her face turned red all of a sudden.

She buried her head deeper and muttered.

"Sixth brother, you are making fun of me! I won't play with you anymore."

After that, she punched him in the chest a few times.

Such a coquettish girl's appearance reminded Du Jingyi of many things.

Before she got married, she would act like a spoiled child with her father at home.

In a flash, the father and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time.

It's really a fleeting moment.

Without noticing, she chuckled.

This sound attracted the attention of Shang Ji and Xue Niang.

Du Jingyi looked back at the brother and sister with some embarrassment.

Just as he was about to explain, Xue Niang came over with a bright face.

She said to Du Jingyi generously.

"Sixth sister-in-law is so powerful that she made the second sister-in-law blush and unable to speak. It's so refreshing!"

The little girl is so "hateful of evil", she is really Shang Ji's biological sister.

"Haha, eighth sister, please forgive me."

Du Jingyi is not familiar with the eldest sister-in-law Liu and the eighth sister Xue Niang on weekdays, so it is better to stop talking about some things.

In this high-class courtyard, she just wants to live a stable retirement.

She doesn't want to cause trouble.

Therefore, she didn't respond to Xue Niang's words.

On the contrary, Xue Niang, I don't know if she didn't understand or did it on purpose, but she took Du Jingyi's arm intimately and said.

"Second sister-in-law is the most annoying person. She is mean to the eldest sister-in-law and Ping'er at every turn. I am not good at talking, and I can't beat her every time I want to talk back. Now that I see that the sixth sister-in-law is so powerful, I must worship you as my teacher and learn this verbal skill well."

Then he clenched his fist and waved it in the air a few times.

"Next time, if she bullies my sister-in-law again, I will scold her until she cries!"

Her revengeful look gave her sister-in-law Liu a headache.

But she was also relieved in her heart.

After all, she was the child she had raised.

Of course, she was happy that she would protect her like this.

But, as a girl, why would she always cause these verbal disputes?

So, she still said with a stern face.

"Xue Niang, don't be presumptuous."

Du Jingyi noticed her scolding.

Xue Niang beside her just pouted.

On the contrary, Shang Zhiping, who was standing next to her sister-in-law Liu, shuddered.

That look was very scary.

Although Du Jingyi's expression did not show it, he felt bad in his heart.

How could the eldest grandson of the Duke's Mansion be so cowardly?

How could he be so scared by just a woman's reprimand?

Not only Du Jingyi saw it, Shang Ji beside him also saw it naturally.

He frowned immediately.

Standing with his hands behind his back, he seemed to exude a lot of coldness.

Perhaps he felt everyone's gaze.

Shang Zhiping, who was nearly thirteen years old, lowered his head.

His fingers grabbed the sides of his clothes, revealing a nervous and scared look.

Seeing this, the eldest sister-in-law Liu hurriedly pulled him behind her.

Obviously, her son was a head taller than her.

But at this moment, he was still hiding behind his mother like when he was a child, seeking stability.

Seeing this, Shang Ji's eyebrows and eyes were even more angry.

He opened his mouth and was about to say something.

As a result, Du Jingyi next to him quietly pulled his sleeve.

Then, she took over the words.

Her face was kind, but she was talking to the eldest sister-in-law Liu.

"The general said last night that he would bring me back tomorrow, but I don't know how to prepare the gift. Sister-in-law has been married for a long time and is the most trusted person for my husband and I. Please help me sort out the gift list."

She said this and completely changed the topic.

It relieved the embarrassment of the eldest sister-in-law Liu and the nephew Shang Zhiping.

Hearing that what was said had nothing to do with him, Shang Zhiping was visibly relaxed.

The eldest sister-in-law Liu was also grateful.

So, she glanced at Du Jingyi, but didn't say anything empty, and spoke directly.

"Send someone to send the list to Fuqiuyuan, and I will give you some advice."

"In that case, thank you very much, sister-in-law."

Du Jingyi's attitude was polite, and the eldest sister-in-law Liu didn't treat Qiao's elders as hers.

It's just that the atmosphere was a little silent.

Therefore, the eldest sister-in-law Liu didn't want to stay any longer.

She spoke again.

"Xue Niang has to go back to learn needlework, and Ping'er has not finished her calligraphy practice. I will take them back first. Since Sixth Brother is back, you and your sister-in-law should live a good life."

"Sister-in-law..."

Shang Ji wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by his eldest sister-in-law Liu.

She took the two of them away.

Xue Niang was somewhat reluctant, and Shang Zhiping never raised his head from beginning to end.

Looking at him like this, Shang Ji's eyes were both angry and heartbroken.

When only he and Du Jingyi were left in the room, he punched a red vase with a tangled flower.

The porcelain pieces were shattered all over the floor.

It also scared Yingtao and Lizhu who were serving Du Jingyi.

Du Jingyi frowned, knowing that her husband was angry.

But she had only been with him for a day, so it was not good to open her mouth to persuade him.

The reason why he pulled her sleeve just now was just because he felt sorry for his sister-in-law Liu who was protecting her son.

In the backyard, how difficult it is for a widow.

She knew it well.

Especially with an "eye-catching" eldest grandson.

You can imagine how many disasters she had to avoid to raise him safely to this age.

So, she understood.

Even though she felt that Shang Zhiping was a little too cowardly.

But the temperament can be changed, but the mother-son relationship cannot be severed.

So, Du Jingyi said calmly.

"General, please sit for a while. I will go and boil a bowl of pear water. The autumn weather is irritable, and moistening the lungs is the best."

After that, she took the maids Yingtao and Lizhu and left the house.

Leaving behind Shang Ji, who stood with his hands behind his back, exuding coldness, and a floor full of broken porcelain pieces.

After leaving the door, the master and servant patted their chests at the same time.

"General, it's really scary!"

Lizhu felt like she had escaped death.

God knows how harmonious the atmosphere was when he was with his young lady.

But now, there is an additional general.

The whole room was either chilly and cold, or suffocating with the door closed.

This overwhelming wealth is really not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shiver.

Goose bumps all over her body.

Compared with her reaction, Cherry seemed much calmer.

But she also frowned, looked at Du Jingyi uneasily, and said in a low voice.

"Madam, what can we do in the future with such a temper of the general?"

She was not afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that this general would have perverted means of abusing his wife.

Didn't they say that before their young lady entered the family, three wives had died?
