Chapter 220 Different Thoughts

Therefore, when Du Jingyi heard Madam Guo San's gesture of goodwill, she felt that her worries were not in vain, so she responded with a smile.

"It's the eighth sister. She used to be young and there were many brothers and sisters in the house, so she rarely came out. Now that she is the only girl in our general's house, she naturally has to be brought out to see the world."

Although Du Jingyi didn't mention Mrs. Wei a word in his words, the meaning was very obvious, that is, she treated Xue Niang poorly.

In fact, let alone Xue Niang, even if she had a sister-in-law, she didn't necessarily have much status and respect in the Duke's mansion.

But now she is the only unmarried young lady in the General's Mansion, and she is naturally looked upon with love and affection. Therefore, she also wants to tell Mrs. Guo San that Xue Niang is the heart of the General's Mansion.

Everyone present is a human spirit, how could they not understand this meaning.

So Mrs. Guo San showed extra enthusiasm, and this move also gave Du Jingyi hope.

Looking sideways at Mrs. Guo's expression, she saw that she was also looking at Xue Niang with joy, and she also showed the love and concern of her elders. Du Jingyi had taken most of this reassurance.

Compared to Xue Niang's "popularity", Gu Xiaolang is much more low-key.

Her ambition was not here, so she sincerely hoped that this cousin could marry into the Guo family and enjoy happiness, so she restrained a lot of her own charm.

And this calmness and attentiveness attracted a lot of attention from the Crown Princess.

Thinking of what her mother and sister-in-law said to her after the last palace flower order, her interest naturally arose.

The Crown Princess came from the Earl of Weiyuan's Palace and was the second daughter in the family. She had an older brother and two younger brothers. One was just in her prime and the other was only sixteen years old.

Everyone in the family, from grandmother to mother to sister-in-law, was concerned about their marriage.

It's a pity that most of the good ideas in Earl Weiyuan's residence come from the eldest brother and second sister, so the third and fourth brothers are not very good at it.

As a young man who grew up in Sui'an City, he has quite the romantic temperament that a young master should have. Although he is not as good as looking for flowers and women, he still eats as much as he can at a banquet.

The government arranged idle positions for them, but it was just in name only.

Therefore, the family has always wanted to find an upright and decent daughter-in-law to go back and suppress their tempers. It's just that whether she will be matched with Sanlang or Silang, the Earl of Weiyuan's house has not yet decided.

In the end, he decided to simply bring them both to see each other with Gu Xiaolang. If they could get a chance to meet each other, that would be great.

Therefore, when she saw that the Guo family was paying attention to Xue Niang, she felt extremely happy, so she said to Gu Xiaolang.

"My mother-in-law's family is here too. My sister-in-law praised Miss Gu so much last time and said she wanted to meet her. I'll take you over to have a look."

The banquet in the aristocratic family compound is never a simple meal, especially the young ladies who are not yet married, they all choose this opportunity to see each other.

Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaolang both understood what the Crown Princess meant, but Gu Xiaolang didn't want to have anything to do with the young men in Sui'an City, so he was reluctant.

"The servant girl is plain and pretty, with no talent or elegance. I am afraid that the minister's wife will laugh at her."

"Hey, if Miss Gu is not talented or elegant, then we may not be able to choose a good one among all the ladies in Sui'an City. Your name in Jinling City is so famous that I have heard about it in Sui'an City. If you pass, don’t be polite.”

The Crown Princess finally met such a suitable candidate, so naturally she didn't want to let him go, so her tone became more unquestionable.

Gu Xiaolang looked at Du Jingyi in embarrassment. Du Jingyi, a cousin, also knew that his grandmother did not want her granddaughter to marry far away, so she came to the rescue.

"Mrs. Lang is very fond of Cousin Lang. Why don't I go and have a look? Since I'm here, I should pay my respects to Madam Weiyuan and her."

In terms of identity and status, they are all higher than the General's Mansion, so Du Jingyi is right to say this.

We just love each other, so it doesn’t matter if there is one more person or one less person, so the Crown Princess agreed with a smile.

Mrs. Guo didn't understand the thoughts of the Earl of Weiyuan family, but she understood the thoughts of her elder sister, Mrs. Gu, so she knew that this matter could not be accomplished, so naturally she didn't say much and just said something to Du Jingyi.

"You can take Lang'er and go without worries. My third wife and I will just talk to Xue Niang here."

"Thank you, Madam Guo, for taking care of me. Do you know that Snow Lady needs to be obedient?"

"Sister-in-law Six, don't worry."

After saying this, Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaolang followed the princess to meet the people at Earl Weiyuan's Mansion. When they left, they did not forget to cast their eyes on the side of their husband Shang Ji.

Although Shang Ji was chatting with the prince and others, his peripheral vision never left Du Jingyi's place.

Firstly, she was pregnant, so she had to be more careful. Secondly, there was no elder around to take care of her this time, so she had to be more careful.

Seeing Du Jingyi's look, he immediately found an excuse.

"Your Highness, my grandmother has something to tell me to Mrs. Guo before I leave, so I will go over and have a few words before coming back."

The prince glanced not far away and understood what he meant, so there was a lot of teasing in his eyes.

"Okay, go ahead, go ahead, I know you are using words as a cover."

After hearing this, Shang Ji remained calm and his heart did not beat. On the contrary, Zong Liangdi next to him laughed out loud.

"I've never seen General Shang like this before. It seems that the young lady must be capable, so she can tie General Shang's heart to her and not want to leave for a moment."

According to Zong Li's previous status, she could not get close to Shang Ji. Now she can use Shang Ji to make fun of him. It really fits the saying that the fox borrows the power of the tiger.

But Shang Ji didn't talk much with her. He clasped his fists and left.

Seeing that he didn't give her face, some embarrassment flashed across Zong Li's beautiful face.

"Your Highness..."

She nestled in the prince's arms delicately. Although she didn't say it clearly, the meaning was very clear. Shang Ji didn't give her face, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

The prince said softly to comfort her.

"Sixth brother is a warrior who never cares about etiquette. Just don't take it to heart."

Seeing the prince's reaction, Zong Li didn't dare to say anything more.

With her current favor, it was just a novelty for a while. If she wanted to fight against Shang Ji, she would only ask for trouble.

Therefore, she didn't say anything more, but she still secretly made a note of it in her heart, and she would find a place to get back at him in the future, so that he would look down on her!

With a few steps, Shang Ji walked to Xue Niang's side and greeted Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Guo San.
