Chapter 241 Women’s Resentment

Cherry pointed his hand towards the ear room, and then said.

“The sobering soup is kept warm in the ear room. I asked Danruo to make several bowls of it, because I’m afraid the general and Vice-General Luo won’t have enough.”

Seeing this, Shang Ji didn't say anything more and just gave instructions to Yingying.

"You should go back and rest first. If the young lady is looking for something and can't find anyone, the general will rest in this wing today. I'm afraid that the alcohol will suffocate the lady and the child."

“Yes, General, please excuse me.”

　　After saying this, Cherry bowed and returned to the dormitory.

 In the courtyard, only Shang Ji and Luo Yuan were left.

At this moment, the light lamp was blown out, and Luo Yuan finally realized what he was doing.

“It turns out that this lamp was reserved for the general. I thought she didn’t pay attention.”

“Okay, after drinking the hangover soup, go back and rest first. You’ve been working hard all day, aren’t you tired?”

Luo Yuan touched the back of his head and showed a somewhat embarrassed smile.

 “This wine is a bit high, and I am very excited now.”

"Then you go to Xikuoyuan and get excited, and don't disturb the young lady's sleep."

 “Yes, I’ll leave now.”

The people in Luo Yuan all took a step forward, then turned back and said with a smile.

“I haven’t drunk the hangover soup that Miss Cherry specially prepared for me yet. I’m going to drink it now.”

With that said, he walked into the ear room without making much noise, then walked out and said something to Shang Ji.

 “The subordinates resign.”

 Then he walked out of the yard and left without looking back.

Shang Ji entered the ear room and saw that the bedding had been arranged on the imperial concubine's couch, and he couldn't help but feel satisfied.

Afraid that the noise he made while washing would disturb Du Jingyi's rest, so he drank the sobering soup and lay down with his clothes on.

Although the person relaxed, his heart was still thinking about what had just happened.

 Two hours ago, he sent the drunken prince back to the East Palace.

It was not a big deal at first, but who would have thought that the person who came out to greet the guests was neither the crown prince nor one of the four concubines, but Zong Liangdi.

It was late at night, and she was still dressed up.

 Everyone with eyes knows what it means.

 Don’t you just want to get more favor so that you can get pregnant as soon as possible to stabilize your status?

Now the crown prince has five sons and six daughters. Among them, the eldest grandson and the third grandson are all children of the crown prince. They have been raised to be smart and clever, and their physiques are also first-class.

If the crown prince successfully succeeds to the throne, then the crown prince will inevitably be promoted to the queen, and the direct grandson of the first emperor and the third emperor will be extremely valuable.

Thinking of this, Shang Ji couldn't help but think of the post sent by Earl Weiyuan's family during this period, and the meaning was very clear.

After today, I'm afraid the Crown Princess will misunderstand him.

On the one hand, asking the family to reject the Earl's Palace's overtures, and on the other hand, sending the prince to Zong Liangdi's side, everyone would think too much.

Shang Ji squinted his eyes slightly, thinking about how to make the two emperors' grandsons happy, so as to eliminate the grudge between him and the crown princess.

 Thinking about it, he fell into a deep sleep.

 I also stayed awake all night until dawn.

 The next day.

When Du Jingyi opened his eyes, he saw that the sun was already shining brightly outside, and he sighed in confusion.

 “It was such a good sleep!”

The Yingying and Lizhu who were waiting for her also heard the noise and walked in from outside.

 “Young madam, are you awake?”

“Well, what time is it?” “It’s almost noon.”

Du Jingyi looked around and didn't see Shang Ji, so he asked.

 “Where are the generals?”

Cherry said while helping Du Jingyi wash up.

"The old lady in Xu Lai's courtyard called someone to invite the general to come over and say that he had something important to discuss. When he left, the general told his servant to have a good rest. If you have time, you can go to the flower hall for lunch. If you can't, let us use the small kitchen. Just do it."

After hearing this, Du Jingyi raised the corner of his mouth, wondering what his husband's expression looked like when he said this.

“Then clean up quickly and let everyone know that I am a sleepy person and am very shy.”

Seeing this, Li Zhu came over and smiled innocently.

 “Is the young lady also shy? How come I don’t know this?”

“You stinky girl, you haven’t been here for a few days and you have become braver?”

Li Zhu felt relieved when he saw that the young lady was even joking with him.

“Isn’t this slave afraid that you will be exhausted? So I tell you a joke to tease you. I am very happy early in the morning. Isn’t this the whole day?”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi became happy.

After tidying up a little and drinking half a cup of bird's nest, I set off to Xu Laiyuan.

Just as the man stepped forward to enter, he was met by Gu Xiaolang, whose eyes were slightly red.

Seeing her like this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but feel a little strange. Is there anyone or something in this yard that could make her feel wronged?

Unexpectedly, when Gu Xiaolang saw her coming, there was some resentment in his eyes.

Du Jingyi understood immediately that her crying must be related to her husband.

 But the two of them couldn't have a good relationship, and they didn't know it until today, so what she didn't see was crying because of it. After thinking about it for a while, she understood.

Probably I am sending her back to Jinling City.

Du Jingyi also felt a little miserable when he thought that his daughter's family was full of excitement and came to join her childhood sweetheart's cousin, but in the end he had to go back alone.

 But I think she won't say another word.

 After all, if she still intends to stay, then the marriage must be settled, otherwise making excuses every day will not be a long-term solution.

It will also cast an unpleasant mask on the General's Mansion. This is not a scene that Mrs. Gu wants to see.

So, after understanding why Gu Xiaolang was crying, Du Jingyi relaxed a lot.

Gu Xiaolang walked up to her, the resentment in his eyes gradually dimmed, and became a little pitiful, making people feel aggrieved just by looking at it.

Du Jingyi sighed and said to Yingying and Lizhu behind him.

"You guys go and wait for me nearby. I'll have a few words with Cousin Lang."

 “Yes, young lady.”

There was a lot of worry in Yingtao's eyes, and she tugged on Li Zhu's sleeve when she left. The two grew up together, so they naturally understood each other's intentions.

This Miss Gu’s family is coming in a menacing way. Who knows what she is going to do?

If he wanted to hurt his young wife and the child in her belly, then Li Zhu would have to practice all the skills he had learned these days.

Therefore, although they were far away, their eyes never missed her.

Especially Li Zhu, who picked a few leaves in his hand for emergencies.

After all the maids had gone away, Gu Xiaolang spoke calmly.

“Is it because my cousin doesn’t like me staying in the general’s mansion? Why should I ask my grandmother to send me back to Jinling City?”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi smiled instead of getting angry and only asked one question in reply.

“What do you think, Cousin Lang? Will grandma be the one who listens to my words?”
