Chapter 180: Meeting at the Family Level (Additional Chapters with Xiaoxiang Tickets)

Du Jingyi and Madam Du were so sharp-eyed that they could not fail to see the change in the situation.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and they looked down on these people who flattered the powerful, but they had to compromise.

Madam Du sighed deeply in her heart. Fortunately, she only had two daughters, and now they both had a good home, so she didn't have to worry anymore.

But as a mother, she also understood her third aunt and eldest sister-in-law Liu.

Who doesn't want their daughter to get a good husband?

But for such a family that curry favor with the powerful, no matter how high their family background is or how prominent their family is, I'm afraid it's not a good marriage.

Now that everything is peaceful and the flowers are everywhere, they are naturally coaxed and loved with kind words.

In the future, once the Gu family or Shang Ji falls into trouble, won't the two of them be bullied to death by their in-laws?

What they can see, the third aunt and eldest sister-in-law Liu can naturally see.

So they all smiled at the ladies who suddenly appeared around them at this moment.

Old Madam Gu could see that it was clear, so she raised her hand and beckoned Gu Xiaolang and Xue Niang to come forward.

One was her granddaughter, and the other was her granddaughter-in-law.

The palms and backs of her hands hurt equally.

So she spoke to Old Madam Guo.

"Xue Niang hasn't reached the age of marriage yet, so I'm shamelessly asking you to come as the main guest, is that okay?"

Hearing this, Old Madam Guo hurriedly smiled and replied.

"This is a good thing, even if you didn't ask me, I would have come. Xue Niang looks 70% like Yun He. Every time I see her, I will think of how Yun He looked when she reached the age of marriage, what a spirited and good child."

"It's a pity that beauty is envied by heaven, and others have taken advantage of her. Now the cuckoo has taken over the magpie's nest, and I don't know if she still thinks she is the original wife."

The former is just a prelude to the latter sentence.

Although Old Madam Guo lives in seclusion, she has not been willing to go out to banquets for many years.

But it should be said that as long as she appears, she will have the final say in the circle of nobles in Sui'an City.

With her and Old Lady Gu together to flatter Madam Wei, other ladies will have to consider whether they will offend these two if they want to visit the Duke's Mansion again in the future.

Seeing this, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess drank tea silently without saying much.

Obviously, they silently supported the attitude of the two old ladies.

The play in the front hall had just begun, and this troublemaker appeared.

Butler He came in hurriedly and said to Shang Ji.

"General, several princes and princesses have arrived."

The princes and princesses mentioned by Butler He naturally refer to Prince Fu, Prince Yin, Prince Min, Prince De and Princess Yuehua.

In terms of seniority, Prince Min and Prince De are the uncles of the current emperor, and naturally belong to the generation of prince uncles.

It's just that they enjoy endless wealth and splendor, but they don't have much real power.

Prince Fu and Princess Yuehua are brothers and sisters of the current Majesty, so they are truly influential among the royal relatives.

But Prince Yin is the current Majesty's half-brother.

Although he was also crowned as a king, he could not compare with Prince Fu and Princess Yuehua in terms of fiefdom or silver and rice.

Therefore, he is usually a transparent person in the court.

But every time there is such a banquet, he still has to invite Prince Yin to his mansion, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

"Let's go, I'll go to greet him."

"Yes, General."

After saying this, Shang Ji took Shang Zhiping, Xing Zhao and He Shilin to greet him.

If it is about closeness, Shang Ji's brothers should accompany Shang Ji on such occasions.

But now, these people don't even have the qualifications to accompany him, let alone accompany him.

Therefore, when Shang Ji walked to the door and met Shang Qilang with Princess Fu, his face darkened a lot.

However, he always behaved like this in front of outsiders, so not many people noticed the change in his face.

But they were outsiders. How could the family not know about the conflict between Madam Gu and Madam Wei? Therefore, Princess Fu was really capable to bring people here openly.

So Shang Ji went forward and greeted all the princes and paid his respects.

Only when he saw Prince Fu, he lowered his voice and said.

"I remember that the post from the General's Mansion was sent to Prince Fu's Mansion. How could there be irrelevant people coming?"

This irrelevant sentence made Princess Fu and Shang Qilang a little embarrassed.

They knew that the two sides were not in harmony, but they didn't expect Shang Ji to embarrass them in front of so many people, so they were a little annoyed.

And Princess Fu was the eldest daughter of Madam Wei, so naturally she had to protect her younger brother and argue with Shang Ji.

So, he said with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Sixth brother, you have gained power and even disowned your brothers and sisters at home? What irrelevant people? Isn't Qilang our brother? How can he be irrelevant?"

"Princess Fu, be careful with your words. My mother's surname is Gu. She gave birth to my eldest brother, my eighth sister and me, but I have never heard of the Seventh Brother. A few days ago, my father and Madam Wei came to the house and angered my grandmother once. Are you going to do the same thing again and anger her a second time?"

"You! Do you really want to make the scene so embarrassing?"

Shang Ji didn't say anything else, but blocked the door and prevented them from entering. His attitude was more intense than his words.

Princess Fu had been humiliated today, so naturally she was unwilling to give in.

She said to Shang Ji with a cold face.

"Since the invitation has been sent to Prince Fu's Mansion, we have the final say on who will come. My brother from my mother's family is visiting the mansion, so it's not strange that he came as well. If General Shang is not willing to host, there is no need to send the invitation to Prince Fu's Mansion, so as to avoid misunderstandings and people thinking that you are sincerely inviting us to this housewarming wedding!"

Seeing that the scene was a bit awkward, Princess Yuehua spoke in a roundabout way.

"Calm down, we are here to be guests today, not to cause trouble, why make such a fuss? Besides, we are from the Shang family, and even if we break bones, we are still connected. Even if there is a temporary disagreement, we should not be so tense. Isn't this a joke for the people?"

After saying this, Princess Fu took a deep breath, and then saw that there were indeed people looking around and talking, and she could only hold back her anger.

Continue to speak kindly.

"What the princess said is true. I mean the same thing. I think my sixth brother has just returned home, and the killing outside has not yet subsided. But aren't swords and knives meant for enemies? Why do we have to kill even brothers and sisters?"

She was openly persuading, but secretly scolding.

She just wanted to spread the image of Shang Ji as a ruthless person.

Anyway, she and Madam Wei are birds of a feather, and they are best at confusing right and wrong.

So after she finished speaking, the King of Min and the King of De also came up to persuade her.

Well, the sisters are really fast!
