Chapter 327 Mutual Dislike

Now that she can get more care and love from the Du couple, she is also happy from the bottom of her heart, so her eyes are red.

Seeing this, the Dou Mama next to her handed over a handkerchief and said comfortingly.

"On a happy day, you should be happy."

The Ou Mama took the handkerchief and wiped it quickly, nodding.

The two places are one family, and there is a harmonious atmosphere, but their happiness does not mean that other reunited families are also happy. For example, in the now deserted Duke's Mansion, there is only some false harmony.

Since the position of the Duke was "stripped" by His Majesty the Emperor, Shang Yukuan has been very depressed. He was not a person who was good at socializing, and now he can't even receive an invitation to a banquet.

In the past, no matter what, there would still be New Year's gifts, but this year it is unusually bleak.

Perhaps it was because they knew that he had lost his royal heart and had lost his son, so no one paid attention to him anymore.

The Duke's Mansion was a well-known name, but many people sent gifts to the General's Mansion. In name, they were for Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi, but there were also gifts specially prepared for the eldest sister-in-law Liu and Shang Zhiping, which was a bit like burning incense in advance.

Mrs. Wei was no longer willing to pretend. She had already shown her impatience with this "temporary" Duke, so when he poured her wine one cup after another, she said with disdain.

"Master, please don't drink anymore. If you drink too much, no one will serve you. Look, there is not even a neat maid in the house now, and you still want to be the Duke's patron?"

Listening to her words, not to mention Shang Yukuan, even Shang Qilang couldn't stand it. He frowned and looked at his mother, as if wondering why she had changed so much.

"What do you mean? Do you look down on me?"

"I dare not. After all, you are the grandfather of the future Duke. When he comes back from Jinling City, I am afraid he will ask us to move. Instead of getting drunk and questioning me here, why don't you think about where we can move to so as not to bother the new Duke?"

Mrs. Wei did it on purpose.

She has said these unpleasant words a lot during this period, just to make Shang Yukuan hate Shang Zhiping to the core, thinking that he stole the position of the Duke, so he is living such a "hard" life now.

Who knows that Shang Yukuan will only hide and feel sad alone, and has no precautions for future events. In his eyes, the one who inherits the Duke's Mansion is his grandson anyway, so he has a sense of not letting outsiders get away with it.

And his cold treatment made Mrs. Wei more and more uncomfortable, so she said a lot of weird words.

Since Shang Qilang joined the Fourth Prince's door before, he has been doing things in the court.

Although it was not a particularly important task now, he could vaguely feel that the Fourth Prince relied on him quite a lot. The most obvious thing was that he had let Lord Jin, who had retired to the position of Left Vice Minister, approach him several times.

Overtly and covertly, they were all appreciation and wooing him. Lord Jin could be said to be the Fourth Prince's indispensable right-hand man in the court. To have his attention meant that he was not far from becoming the Fourth Prince's core staff.

Therefore, he had not paid much attention to his parents' quarrels before.

But today was New Year's Eve after all, a day for family reunion, so why should they make a fuss? He tried to mediate.

"Mother, the food is getting cold, you can have it first. Father is so happy that he wants to drink, so I will accompany him with a few cups."

After saying this, he drank a cup without any hesitation.

He came out to smooth things over, and Madam Wei swallowed her breath for the time being, while Shang Silang next to him was busy eating, pretending to be deaf and blind to the situation on the scene.

Seeing this, Silang's wife felt disgusted.

It was just that the occasion was so inconvenient for her to show it, but she had thought about divorce more than once. When she thought about spending the rest of her life with such a cowardly and incompetent husband, Silang's wife felt that there was no hope.

Therefore, she was picking at the rice in the bowl without any interest.

Shang Zhihe at the table had been very gloomy since his leg injury. He had changed from being proud and arrogant to being secretive and unpredictable. People dared not provoke him casually.

Shang Zhiyin next to him also looked unhappy. Because of the "fall" of her family, she could not go to many banquets, so she was also holding back a grudge.

The two accidentally touched the plate with their chopsticks and started to quarrel.

"Brother, how long do you want everyone to avoid you? You have to accommodate everything. How can you live like this?"

"You little bitch, say it again!"

"It's the same even if you say it ten times. Ever since you injured your leg, mother and grandmother have been biased against you. They only care about you every day. But look at how long it has been since I changed my clothes and jewelry. Humph, no one in the mansion cares about me!"

It was just a broken leg, but it caused her to lose the opportunity to buy new clothes. Shang Zhiyin was not polite to this brother who had no future.

Hearing that Shang Zhihe smashed the plates and bowls in anger, he looked at Shang Zhiyin fiercely and said.

"Bitch! You don't want to live anymore!"

After that, he threw the crutch in his hand. It was made of rosewood, and Shang Zhiyin's arm became red and swollen in an instant, and she screamed in pain.

"Murder, murder..."

Shang Zhihe pretended to fight, but was stopped by Shang Qilang, and Silang's wife also cried and comforted her daughter.

The scene was chaotic for a while.

Mrs. Wei felt sorry for her grandson's broken leg, and felt sorry for her granddaughter's sadness. She was so angry that she took Shang Silang and started to curse him.

"What are you doing? You only know how to eat? Look at how your children have been abused by others, and you still eat, eat! You are really a spineless thing!"

After saying that, she slapped Shang Silang, and he was stunned immediately.

After all, he is a man of thirty years old, and he has not achieved anything. He only knows how to learn from his father Shang Yukuan to live a shrinking life. How can Mrs. Wei not be angry!

Hearing such words and seeing Mrs. Wei's behavior, Shang Yukuan stamped his feet and said angrily.

"Shame on you, shame on you! A good family is broken up like this, you, you... look at the people you called out! If Yunhe was still alive, our family would definitely not be able to live like this!"

Shang Yukuan's words hit Mrs. Wei's heart.

She was already not used to her own master, and now she immediately revealed her true colors when she heard him say that.

"But let me speak from my heart. In the eyes of the master, no matter how well I do, I am not as good as that short-lived ghost of the Gu family, right?" (End of this chapter)
