MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 24 Mao Diexuan

Chapter 24 Mao Diexuan

 Then, Mrs. Nadu smiled and said to her daughter and son-in-law.

“This is my first time at home, so let Tangtang show you around. My husband and I will go take care of some things, and we will have dinner together later.”

 The implication is that they do not intend to involve Shang Ji and Du Jingyi.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi was deeply worried.

But Mrs. Du's words never allowed others to question her. Du Jingyi understood this very well, so he committed himself and answered.

“Mom, don’t worry, my daughter will take care of you.”

"Um."

 After saying this, the Du family and his wife got up and left Mingse Courtyard and went straight to Mao Diexuan.

 The door of Du's house has not been so lively in many years.

There are many horse-drawn carriages parked along the water, all of which are uniformly hung with signs with the word "Du" on them. You can tell at a glance that they are coming.

But is it a visit between relatives or a coercion and inducement at the door?

 It’s something outsiders don’t know.

 Speaking of the Du family, although they are wealthy merchants, they are a rare family of Confucian merchants.

Mr. Du and Mrs. Du started their business from scratch.

With his excellent skills and the opportunity of two dynasties, it can be said that he has been involved in many industries.

 Simply put, as long as they can make money, the couple will do it.

 However, benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trustworthiness are still firmly engraved in our hearts.

 Therefore, it is common to build bridges and pave roads, build tents and provide porridge.

Not only that, he also built a large room in the back house and specially invited his husband to teach in the yard.

 Anyone in the house who wants to learn to read and develop new skills can come here to listen to the teacher's lectures.

 Therefore, the housekeepers who are several dozen years old and the housekeepers who are just young enough to speak have children.

　　Everyone can open his mouth and recite a few lines of poetry and articles.

Hence, the whole house does not look like a nouveau riche, but rather has a more elegant and elegant temperament.

At this moment, the people sitting in Mao Diexuan are not like this.

 Distant relatives, close friends, people with whom we have connections, and those who have no connections, all come.

 One or two faces have a look of justice.

 Especially those uncles who are close to the clan, are even more filled with righteous indignation.

Those who don’t know may think that the Du family and his wife were bullied and they came to support the scene.

Suddenly, in the huge hall, the sound of a yellow pear stick tapping heavily on the ground was heard.

  The next sentence is.

“What about the young master of the Duke’s Mansion? Since he is coming back to see you, why don’t you call us? Isn’t this bullying others?”

The person who spoke was the oldest elder, Mr. Du Er.

 He was so angry that his beard was flying, and he looked very worried.

Sitting with him was Mr. Du Qi, an old man from the Du family, but he was a little calmer than the angry Mr. Du Er.

He closed his eyes and said nothing. Only his long beard swayed slightly in the occasional wind.

As soon as the Du family entered the door, they felt hostility from all directions. Among them, the most obvious one is the young and strong man standing behind Mr. Du Er.

She was born quite handsome, but there was no justice in her eyebrows. It was more caused by greed that she wanted but couldn't get.

Mr. Du always looked like he was smiling at Maitreya, so when he saw all the uncles, cousins ​​and nephews, he opened his mouth and said with a smile.

"Hey, everyone is here today. Second uncle, seventh uncle, what brought you two here? And brought so many people with you? Could it be that we are afraid that our couple will be bullied by the people in the Duke's Mansion because of our weak position? Are you here to support me?"

 In one sentence, it appears to be a compliment, but in reality it is a disparagement.

The people present were not fools, so how could they not hear it, but no one dared to refute it.

Mr. Du Er, who was named, turned red in the face, snorted coldly, and then shut up.

How can their status as white men be compared with the family that founded the country with great merit?

 What's more, the opponent is also a popular general.

The Du family and his wife had this powerful son-in-law as a shield, and it was really hard for them to say anything for a while.

Hence, the arrogance at this moment is not as aggressive as it was just now.

Mrs. Du didn't even want to talk to her. She and Mr. Du went straight into the hall and sat down at the top.

Seeing that everyone was a bit embarrassed and shut up, Mrs. Du gave the order.

“Cui’an, the tea has cooled down, please give it to your uncles again.”

 “Yes, ma’am.”

 Mrs. Du spoke, and the servants in Mao Diexuan immediately served new tea in a polite manner.

　　A number of people who had talked too much and had dry mouths almost burned their mouths when they took the hot tea.

They put down the teacup in their hands sarcastically, pretending not to feel the host's family's intention of chasing guests away.

 Continuing to sit in an old manner, he began to point out the country.

“Boss, we are here today just because Jingyi is coming home. You said there are no men at home to support you, but it’s only us who are anxious. You and your wife are not nervous at all.”

 The person who spoke again was Mr. Du Er who just spoke.

His hair and beard are all white, but now he is asking in a loud voice.

It's a pity that the Du family couple he faced had never seen anything big in the mall.

　Why are you afraid of them?

So Mrs. Du glanced at the second uncle calmly, and then said with a half-smile.

"Uncles and relatives, there is no need to worry. Now the master and I are still young. We just have no sons. Although the daughters are married, the grandson is not born yet. At worst, we will discuss it with Jingxiang and his wife. If After giving birth to a grandchild and entering the Du family's genealogy, how could it be that there is no one to support the family?"

"Now that the young master is back, wouldn't it be a joke if he knew that his wife's family was making such a fuss over the family property? Don't you think so, second uncle? Seventh uncle?"

Although he was speaking to the two elders, his eyes were looking at the young man with a coldness and disdain.

Du Jingxian opened his mouth when Mrs. Du stared at her, but was stunned but didn't come up with the next sentence.

God knows that there is such a famous cousin-in-law. If he wants to do something evil in the future, he may have to think carefully about it.

After all, this young master was a dandy who used a street stick to punish a rich and powerful family. I heard that he showed no mercy at all and was beaten until he was a **** mess.

 Then he tugged on the sleeves of the old man next to him with some embarrassment, and lowered his head unwillingly.

Master Du Si was naturally dissatisfied when he saw that his son was being threatened.

 But this is not the point right now, we still have to get to the point!

"What my cousin said is wrong. Since ancient times, where has it been said that the son of a married woman enters the mother's family tree? Isn't this a joke for outsiders to say that our Du family has no one? Jingxian has been with the two sisters Jingxiang and Jingyi since he was a child. When you grow up, this kind of affection is unparalleled by others."
