Chapter 55: The Family Scandal (Second Update)

Although Shang Ji is tough, he is not a stubborn person.

He did not agree with some of his sister-in-law's actions.

But it doesn't mean that he can ignore his sister-in-law's efforts over the years and keep grabbing at the jealousy in her heart.

In fact, he didn't know his sister-in-law's true inner thoughts.

However, he was used to seeing the sinister nature of human nature, and he could indeed understand such a little bit of selfishness.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi understood.

He said it solemnly when he opened his mouth.

"It has been more than three years since I married into the Duke's palace, but I have only been with the general for a few days. Even so, I know the general's intention to protect Dongyuan. My sister-in-law joined the family many years before me, so I can understand the truth. Of course she understands even more.”

"The reason why I feel like this today is because of me. I should discuss the matter of the fifth house with my sister-in-law before making a decision. However, the situation was urgent and I cannot tolerate any hesitation. My Du family is also the same. Being haunted by broken relatives, you naturally know what it feels like to be possessed and suck blood.”

She spoke every word seriously, which was not only an explanation to Shang Ji, but also a revelation of what happened in her own family.

There are people on the left and right who have to live their whole lives. It is useless to cover up the scandals in some families. It is better to spread them out.

"I have seen a lot of snake bites that turn back and hurt people since I was a child, so I didn't leave any way for the people in the fifth room to survive. But my sister-in-law was too anxious at the time, so I didn't say anything clearly, so I The quarrel between the general and his sister-in-law is due to my negligence. I will go to my sister-in-law tomorrow to explain the matter clearly."

Afterwards, Du Jingyi told Shang Ji everything about the plan.

At first, Shang Ji didn't understand it, but the more he listened, the more he thought it was a good idea.

At least I helped them get rid of five houses, so there was no problem.

It's just that his face is mostly used to indifference, so other expressions are rarely detectable.

Du Jingyi thought that his method was too harsh, which made his husband unhappy.

After all, everything is related by blood.

If he really gets this done, he might not be able to see Wu Fang in such dire straits.

Therefore, while he was beating a drum in his heart, he saw the corners of Shang Ji's lips suddenly raised.

He said to her with admiration in his eyes.

"It's a good idea. People with three or five bedrooms should suffer some hardships. They don't have to think that we in Dongyuan are easy to bully."

Hearing this sentence, Du Jingyi felt relieved.

He planned to continue saying something, but was interrupted by Shang Ji.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about it. I caused this, so naturally it's my turn to clean it up. You just have to deal with the relocation."

"really?"

"nature."

Shang Ji was an uncompromising leader in the army, and he naturally had the same tone when doing things at home.

When Du Jingyi heard this, he just smiled and nodded in agreement.

To be honest, if she forced her way over, she would be able to treat her without even meeting her sister-in-law.

Now that the general had finished talking, she didn't have to rush to be a "peacemaker".

After the two started talking, they were silent for a short while.

Du Jingyi seemed much calmer now after having his previous experience.

It's just that it's not good for her to speak some words.

So I took the teacup on the red sandalwood table and started drinking.

Shang Ji took advantage of the warmth of the candlelight and couldn't help but look at Du Jingyi.

To say at this moment that he has an unforgettable admiration for Du Jingyi would be a bit false.

But that didn't stop him from being a little excited.

In the past, he felt that the back house was a weird place that ate people without spitting out their bones, so he was unwilling to come back to live there.

Basically, I grew up in the military camp with my grandfather's family.

But now, he doesn't know why.

Every time after I finish doing things, I always want to come back and talk to her. Even like this, it's good to just sit quietly for a while.

But after being gentle, he still felt a little sober in his heart.

He said to Du Jingyi.

"I have to rush back to the camp tonight. The soldiers will train tomorrow. It won't be appropriate for me to be away. You can arrange it early."

His words made Du Jingyi's face turn slightly red.

But he soon adjusted.

She replied rather virtuously.

"When a man is established in the world, he should put his family and country first. A general loves his soldiers, and I know that."

Seeing her answer like this, Shang Ji couldn't tell whether he should be happy or a little angry for a moment.

In the past, my grandfather and uncles often stayed in the army.

But he had also heard several times about the petty incidents in which his grandmother and aunts lost their temper and acted out.

If Du Jingyi is so calm, I don't know if he is really virtuous to the core, or if he doesn't care much about him.

Thinking like this, Shang Ji, who had always been confident, became a little uncertain.

But Luo Yuan and others were still waiting outside, so he naturally wanted to leave.

After getting up and preparing to go out, Du Jingyi naturally followed and got off the kang to see him off.

When he reached the door, he stopped again.

He turned around and said to Du Jingyi.

"After nineteen, I can rest for three days, but where do I want to go? How about I accompany you back to your parents' house for a meal?"

"Is what the general said true?"

"a man of his words."

"Okay, last time I said I wanted to send Sister some tire repair stuff, but I never found a chance. In that case, let's take it with us when we go back. I have to let Lu Jue catch up on the work first. Just make the little clothes.”

Shang Ji looked at her suddenly excited and coquettish look, and his heart also became happy.

For some reason, he always felt that his wife was one person in the Du family and another person in the Duke's Mansion.

If he hadn't seen her lively and smart in the Du family, Shang Ji would even think that his wife was a lady of a noble family who was taught according to the rules.

She behaved properly, was calm and generous, and treated people kindly.

But the more this happened, the less interested Shang Ji felt.

It's better to be like her in the Du family, with "popularity" all over her body.

So, he smiled back and said, which was rare.

"Then you should prepare well and wait for me to come back."

"Well, General, be careful on the way. Although it's only autumn, it's quite cold at night. Wear more."

After saying this, Du Jingyi felt stupid.

The wind and sand in Cezhou are much stronger than that in Sui'an City. Since he has been there for so many years, the wind in Sui'an City is naturally like playing, and there is no need to care.

But Shang Ji smiled when he heard this, and even said jokingly.

"Thank you for your concern, Madam. I will pay attention."

Then he opened the door, told Yingtao and Lizhu who were guarding outside the door, and left in a hurry.

Du Jingyi watched his tall figure gradually go away, and for the first time, she felt that this husband was not bad.
