Chapter 78 Adding Fuel to the Fire

Shang Liuniang was slightly embarrassed when she saw this.

Then she hesitated to speak.

"If we really talk about this, I'm afraid that Fourth Sister can't compete with the young lady of the Jia family, so let's just forget it."

If she didn't say this, the people in the third room might not necessarily send Shang Si Niang away.

What they hate most is words like "you can't compete, you're not as good as others", so one by one, their eyes were like fire, and they were about to come up.

Especially the third old lady and the third old master, who immediately hummed and said.

"Don't fuel others' flames and extinguish your own prestige. You haven't tried it, how do you know that Fourth Sister can't compete with Miss Jia?"

As soon as she said this, Shang Liuniang felt secretly happy.

She knew exactly what these people in the family were thinking.

It may not be useful to rush to cry and wipe your tears, it must be different for different people.

Each has his own way of dealing with it to get twice the result with half the effort.

So he immediately pretended to have said something wrong and hurriedly explained.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the girls of the Jia family are definitely not as pretty as the fourth sister. Besides, how old is she? It is not certain that she can impress Prince Min. On the contrary, the fourth sister is particularly lovable."

The fourth sister is now 25 years old. Although she is not a middle-aged woman, she is really different from a virgin.

After hearing Shang Liuniang's suggestion, everyone became more interested.

For example, Sanlang and Sanlang's wife, even if they disagreed, they did not oppose as strongly as before.

Just listened silently.

But Erlang's wife and the third old lady were so excited that they felt more and more that there was a chance.

But no one was willing to listen to Shang Siniang's words. Seeing this, the hope that she had just risen was wiped out again.

The whole person returned to the calmness of the past, and her heart was like dead water.

The arrival of Shang Liuniang made the discussion of the third room lively.

In the Xitang Courtyard of the East Garden, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi were sitting under the bright window, drinking tea and listening to two unfamiliar people talking.

They were reporting everything that had just happened in the Yingjuan Courtyard and the Baotao Courtyard.

Du Jingyi couldn't help but sigh as he drank his tea.

"The people in these two rooms are really good at thinking."

If her father wanted to force her to be a concubine to an old man for power and money, then the Du family would have no hope of leaving.

She would definitely burn them to ashes.

However, Shang Si Niang and Shang Qi Niang, who were about to be sent into the fire pit by their families, did not resist at all, which made Du Jingyi feel really sad and lamentable.

How many years of suppression would it take to create such a character?

In her heart, she was even more disdainful of those in the third and fifth rooms.

But no matter how pitiful they were, this pity was not caused by her, so she would not stop.

The third and fifth rooms are totally different now, the fun is yet to come.

She thought so, and her husband Shang Ji was almost certain.

She said to the two phantom-like subordinates.

"Keep an eye on them, and report back if there is anything important."

"I understand!"

Then he jumped out of the window and left, leaving cleanly, as if a gust of wind had blown by, leaving no trace at all.

"What do you think of this, Madam?"

"The fifth room is greedy, and for money they don't care about their daughter's future luck at all, they are not good people, the third room is black-hearted, especially Shang Liuniang, who pushed her own sister into the fire pit without blinking an eye."

They had found out much more information than the third room, so they knew how fake it was when they heard about the position of concubine and the words that the Jia family was preparing to send their own daughter into the mansion.

In order to achieve their goals, they did not hesitate to deceive everyone in the family, especially regardless of their own sister's life and death, which really made Du Jingyi look at them with new eyes.

It is hard to tell whether she is so vicious by nature or whether she is influenced too much by the third room.

In short, none of them are good.

"The third room is like this, just wanting to emulate the eldest lady born by Madam Wei to rise to the top in one step. The sixth lady is vicious and wants to find a shortcut. But they don't think about whether they are worthy of it?"

The eldest lady Shang mentioned by Shang Ji is the current Princess Fu.

Du Jingyi has learned about her past skills and methods from Madam Dou in the past few days.

Apart from other things, the things in the merchant portal are really one room better than another.

Originally, Du Jingyi thought that the third and fifth rooms were disgusting enough, but he didn't expect that his father-in-law's Madam Wei's room was also like this.

In the past, he was still a little respectful to his father-in-law, but now he thinks it is a joke.

People who can't even see through their bedmates and their own daughters, and can't restrain them, are either stupid and unaware, or they are weak and incompetent and can't take responsibility.

No matter which one, in Du Jingyi's eyes, they are useless people.

It's just that it's hard to say these words in front of her husband Shang Ji.

"Since both sides already know, let's just wait and watch the show."

Shang Ji took a cup of tea and sipped it carefully. The taste was not inferior to that in the palace.

So there was a faint smile between his eyebrows, and he looked at his wife with more love.

Soon, the father-in-law that Du Jingyi disliked, the Duke Shang Yukuan, had a headache to do.

The fifth old master was a man who did what he said, without any ambiguity.

He went straight to the door of Yunjin Courtyard.

Seeing him coming aggressively, Shang Yukuan and Madam Wei were confused.

After all, she was now fully focused on the birthday celebration for her husband in a few days, so she hadn't heard anything worth making a fuss about at home recently.

But she had been pretending for decades, so she wouldn't reveal any flaws now.

So she raised a decent and calm expression and said to the fifth old master.

"What wind invited the fifth uncle? Come in, come in, there is some new tea, the fifth uncle will try it."

Compared with the former Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Wei is more humble.

If it was before, it would be very rare to hear such a soft word.

But now, basically every time you hear it, you don't think it's a big deal.

So he put the music on a big stage and walked in with his head held high.

I don't know if he thought he was showing off because he was in power, but in fact he came to ask for help.

He sat down, and the fourth master and Shang Wulang who followed him also sat down.

Duke Shang Yukuan was a gentle person. Although he was a little unhappy when he received the imperial edict, it had been half a month, so he had naturally forgotten it.

So his smile was sincere.

After the maids in Yunjin Courtyard served tea, they respectfully withdrew.

Madam Wei glanced at the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, and knew that today's matter was not simple.

So she was extremely alert in her heart. If they asked for money, she would have something to say to refuse.
