Chapter 197: Beating People Up

Du Jingyi was not afraid of being laughed at, so she stretched her back and got up from the couch.

Yingtao helped her put on her shoes, then took the medicine bowl and left.

Usually, she would not serve in the room when Shang Ji was around, and Shang Ji was very satisfied with her performance.

First, he did not like maids who loved to show off, and always felt that they were not upright.

Second, he did not like someone standing next to him when he was talking to his wife, and always felt that they were spying on military intelligence.

Therefore, Yingtao's understanding of the rules made Shang Ji feel that this maid knew the rules very well.

After getting off the couch, the couple sat under the bright window.

There were a few books and calligraphy practice notes on the rosewood table, which were used by the couple to pass the time.

It happened that the word "wang" was written on the note, which reminded Du Jingyi of the note sent by the Wei family.

So he spoke.

"General, we have accepted the invitation from the Wei family, but will we go or not?"

The general's housewarming party did not send an invitation to the Wei family, which is known to everyone in Sui'an City.

The Wei family did this to make the general's mansion lose face.

It seems that they are generous and don't hold grudges, and they will build a memorial archway for themselves.

Unfortunately, Shang Ji never bought into this, so he said calmly.

"Let Xing Zhao and Ping'er take the things and go there. What are we going to do? Anyway, it's not a show for us."

He never showed mercy when he spoke, especially when facing the Wei family and the Duke's Mansion.

Therefore, Du Jingyi also understood the so-called show in his mouth.

The Wei family's intentions were obvious.

Wei Jialian's coming-of-age ceremony was held in front of many guests, and they wanted to find a good family for her.

And this so-called good family was 99% likely to be from the royal family.

With Wei Jialian's status and reputation in Sui'an City, Du Jingyi felt that everything else was fine, and it was best not to target the prince.

Otherwise, if the Wei family really became the prince's helper, they would inevitably disgust each other in the future.

"General, aren't you afraid that the Wei family will move their minds to the prince?"

Speaking of which, the prince is now about 27 or 28 years old, although he is a little old, but for Wei Jialian, it is a good marriage.

Now it looks like a concubine, but the prince's concubine will have the opportunity to compete for the position of concubine or noble concubine in the future.

Therefore, Du Jingyi has reason to believe that the Wei family is willing to do so.

After all, didn't Aunt Shang, who is of the blood of the Wei family, climb to the position of Princess Fu in this way?

As the direct cousin of Princess Fu, I am afraid that Wei Jialian's mind will not be simple.

Unexpectedly, Shang Ji smiled and said with a little sarcasm.

"With Prime Minister Guo here, this is impossible."

"What do you mean?"

"The people of the Wei family have ulterior motives. Prime Minister Guo once had a fight with Wei Taiwei."

Du Jingyi raised her eyebrows. She had never heard of this, so she looked at Shang Ji with interest, wanting to hear the whole story.

Shang Ji saw her gossiping expression and chuckled and said.

"I know that you are curious, but you should stop looking at me, so that your children won't be as gossipy as you in the future."

"I don't believe it. Isn't this news from the general's gossip?"

Du Jingyi hit the nail on the head.

Indeed, at Shang Ji's age, he naturally couldn't experience the confrontation between Prime Minister Guo and Wei Taiwei.

So, these old stories must have come from an elder of the Gu family.

So, Shang Ji gently scratched her nose and couldn't help but say lovingly.

"You are so clever."

"My third uncle told me this. My cousins ​​were there at the time. They said that when he went to the Guo family to deliver something to Old Madam Guo on behalf of my grandmother, he accidentally saw Prime Minister Guo and General Wei fighting at home."

"Although Prime Minister Guo is a master of civil service, he is not weak. If they really fought, I am afraid that three or two people would not be able to stop him. Naturally, General Wei was beaten up with a swollen nose and a swollen face."

"Ah? Why?"

"I don't know about this. My third uncle didn't say it. But I guess General Wei must have come up with some bad ideas that made Prime Minister Guo very angry, so they fought."

Prime Minister Guo? Very angry? Fighting?

Du Jingyi couldn't imagine the scene in his mind at once.

After all, Prime Minister Guo looked like a fairy, and he looked gentle and elegant.

Du Jingyi always thought that he could argue with the whole court, but he was unexpectedly good at hitting people and making them black and blue.

Thinking of this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but smile.

"What a pity! If I were here, I would definitely see how Wei Taiwei was defeated."

Shang Ji said with a smile when he heard her words.

"Madam, I also told my third uncle about what you said that day, but do you know how he responded to me?"

"How did he respond?"

"My third uncle said that I was dreaming."

...

Du Jingyi didn't know how to answer for a while. The people in the army were really...

They were not particular about details.

The atmosphere was awkward. Du Jingyi laughed awkwardly and changed the topic.

"Since the prince's path is not feasible, who will the Wei family target? The fourth prince? Or the seventh prince?"

"Not necessarily. Aren't there a few princes?"

Hearing her husband say this, Du Jingyi kept thinking about the candidates in her mind.

From the day of the housewarming banquet, in her eyes, both Prince De and Prince Yin were good.

There is also Prince Jiu, who was born to the concubine of Prince Min Pang, and he also looks like a handsome man.

She is not very clear about the reputation of the three people among the people, but judging from their behavior that day, she is still very impressed by them.

Especially Prince Yin, in her opinion, he is the most elegant one among the people who came that day.

He does not fight or fight, and he is neither hurried nor slow. Although he doesn't talk much, he stands upright like a green pine and cypress, standing behind Prince Yin, and showing a gentle smile from time to time.

Such a person must be good to his wife no matter who he marries.

Therefore, for a moment, she would think that it would be good if Xue Niang's marriage was decided on this one.

Shang Ji obviously had no interest in who Wei Jialian would choose as her husband, so he didn't try to guess.

Anyway, the royal family wasn't stupid. Choosing the Wei family meant confronting the prince and the Guo family head-on.

No one was tired of living and had to create trouble for themselves.

So, the headaches wouldn't be for them, but for the Wei family and those families that the Wei family wanted to show goodwill to.

Du Jingyi also deeply agreed with this, so he didn't ask any more questions.
