MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 310 important matter

The couple lay down and slept for a while, chatting until Du Jingyi got hungry and then got up.

Cherry was already used to this point and helped the two of them wash up. So after briefly ordering some cakes, Du Jingyi went to take a shower and change clothes.

She didn't like eating like this because she was all sticky, so she still struggled for half an hour before coming out. Shang Ji had washed up early and was waiting outside. When he saw her coming out, he gave orders.

 “Call someone to serve the food.”

 “Yes, General.”

The dishes on the table are mainly meat. Danruo girl is getting more and more experienced in cooking. Not only is the meat mostly meat, but there are also various supplements. Du Jingyi looks puzzled, when will they have such things on their dining table? Something?

So Cherry explained on the sidelines.

"It was sent by Aunt Qin who is with the old lady. She said that she would cook it more for the young lady in the future and eat it for a while. It would be good for her health."

Hearing this, Shang Ji smiled playfully at his wife, as if you saw what I said was right.

Du Jingyi was helpless, but for the sake of her health, she still drank it.

Unexpectedly, it didn't taste bad, and it also had a slight aftertaste, so she no longer had any objections and just thought it was just an extra bowl of bird's nest soup.

 It was said to be lunch, but by the time we finished eating, it was already early in the morning.

So the couple rushed towards Xu Laiyuan, intending to take Brother Tai to the Du family. Unexpectedly, the child was sleeping soundly, so they had no choice but to go to see Mrs. Gu.

This time, the three of them knew it well, so they didn’t say much. Mrs. Gu only asked them to take good care of their health, and both of them answered yes.

After talking about wanting to go back to the Du family, Mrs. Gu also said it quite considerately.

"This farewell lasts only half a year. You should go quickly so that your father-in-law and mother-in-law can visit you more often."

 “Thank you grandma for your consideration.”

So the two of them said goodbye to Mrs. Gu and rushed towards the Du family.

On the road, the vendors were still shouting, but you could already see the white breath coming out of their mouths. There were not many pedestrians compared to usual, so the two of them took a quick look and did not lift the curtain again.

Instead, while sitting in the carriage, Du Jingyi told Shang Ji everything that had happened in the past few days. There was nothing else. The most important things were two things, one was the death of the fourth prince and the other was the death of the fifth prince. Fang's arrangements for Guo and Shang Qiniang.

 While listening, Shang Ji was silent, but after Du Jingyi finished speaking, Shang Ji spoke.

"As for the fourth prince's concubine, please tell the spy to stop investigating. If it attracts the attention of people in the palace, it will be detrimental to you. We will be away for half a year. We may not be sure what it will be like when we come back. We will see when the time comes. It depends on the situation."

“But what I mean when I look at Wei Jialian is that I can’t wait any longer. Maybe she will be in charge when we come back.”

"Isn't it just right to be in the position? Do you think the concubines in the fourth prince's harem are vegetarians? Especially the concubine Ying, who is also related to Princess Yuehua. Just look at it, and when they bite dogs, you and I There’s no need to get involved, just watch it with a cold eye.”

Then seeing that Du Jingyi's brows still didn't relax, Shang Ji explained more.

"The prince and Guo Xiang have already arranged this matter, so you don't have to get involved."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi understood.

The death of the fourth princess may have been a surprise to everyone, but she wanted to get to the bottom of it, so as to prevent enemies from making secret moves. However, the prince and Prime Minister Guo wanted to use their strength to fight and use this matter to kill many people. Secretly hostile relationships were involved, and the final blow came to a head.

 After understanding this meaning, Du Jingyi no longer struggled. "I understand. When I get back, I will tell them that there is no need to investigate."

“Well, as for Shang Qiniang’s matter, we can follow up, and Prince Min’s Mansion seems to be a big fish that can make things happen.”

Du Jingyi nodded, and the couple both thought of one place.

 We talked about this matter for a while along the way, and by the time we got to the Du family, everything that needed to be arranged was almost done.

Mr. Du and Mrs. Du were still a little shocked when they saw Shang Ji appear.

“I thought it would take some time for my second uncle to come back, why did he come so soon?”

"Everything in the army has been arranged. I should have arrived last night, but it was a pity that I was late. I was delayed and could not wish my father-in-law on his birthday. It is my son-in-law's fault, so I came here to apologize today."

“As my second uncle said, state affairs take priority, and birthdays can be celebrated at any time. Besides, Tangtang and Brother Tai were here yesterday, and we were all happy. It doesn’t matter, just don’t worry about it.”

Hearing this, Shang Ji still clasped his fists in salute, and then gave him his congratulatory gift.

"When I was suppressing bandits, my son-in-law went to the Huaishan Mountains and happened to meet a black bear, so he hunted it by the way. The fur happened to be good, and he had it processed and made into a cloak and kneepads. I hereby give it to my father-in-law. I hope you take care of it. The body is.”

Du Jingyi had never expected that her husband's gift would be this. He thought it would be some kind of gold, stone and jade, but it turned out to be a bearskin cloak that he hunted by himself. It was really unbelievable.

“There are still black bears in Huaishan? You can still hunt them?”

 “Well, I happened to come across it, so I hunted.”

Shang Ji spoke lightly, but everyone present knew that hunting a bear was not a simple matter. Du Jingyi swallowed his saliva and said.

“General, are you not injured?”

"No, but Luo Yuan was slapped. Fortunately, he escaped quickly, so it was nothing serious."

 Hearing this, Du Jingyi quickly expressed.

“Then when I get back, I will send a bottle of medicine to Deputy General Luo.”

Shang Ji smiled. In fact, the military doctors had seen it and it was nothing serious. However, Du Jingyi was concerned about the safety of his lieutenant, which was a good thing, so he nodded in agreement.

Master Du opened the box with great joy. The bearskin cloak inside was made according to his size. It fit perfectly and kept warm. Not long after he put it on, his forehead started to sweat slightly, but he couldn't bear to take it off.

He said with eyes full of relief.

“Second uncle is very capable, but don’t take such risks next time. It’s just a big cloak, we just bought it for use.”

"Buy? Where can I buy such good leather? I think you won't even be able to take off this cloak this winter."

Mrs. Du said jokingly.

Shang Ji and Du Jingyi also laughed out loud, and the family spent the night happily.

 Early in the morning of the next day, Shang Ji entered the palace, accompanied by Mrs. Gu and Du Jingyi, and the three of them went to say goodbye to His Majesty and Queen Guo.

In the imperial study, Du Jingyi met His Majesty the Emperor of Daxing Dynasty for the first time.
