Chapter 247: Exposing Evil Thoughts

 In the study room, Shang Yukuan and Shang Ji, father and son, were quite harmonious.

"The Guo family was actually interested in Cousin Yilang before, but my grandmother felt that it was not suitable for Cousin Lang to marry far away, so she brought up the eighth sister. Prime Minister Guo and Mrs. Guo took the decision for her sake. "

"I didn't tell my father before because the matter was uncertain. Who would have known that the eighth sister's wedding ceremony just ended yesterday, and today they came to the door. When my son came, my grandmother specifically asked me to tell this matter to her. It would be better if father makes it clear."

Shang Yukuan was simple-minded, and he burst into tears when he heard that.

"My mother-in-law dislikes me as my son-in-law, and she doesn't even care about you. I didn't expect that she would find such a good match for Xue Niang. The fourth son of the Guo family, right? I saw him yesterday. He has a dignified appearance. , and the family background is good, Xue Niang will enjoy happiness if she marries her."

Shang Ji lied without blushing or feeling hurt, so he nodded when he saw this.

“After my grandmother discussed with the Guo family, they decided to come and hire someone at the end of the month. After the Guo family calculates the specific date, the son will send someone to report to his father.”

"Okay, okay, just follow your grandmother's arrangements. She always has ideas."

If these things were left to Shang Yukuan, he might not be able to accomplish them.

But now that everything has been done, he only needs to come out to observe the ceremony, and he is happy to accept it.

 “The other thing is the wedding date.”

 “What’s wrong? But you can’t choose a good day this year?”

“The Guo family made a few suggestions, but my grandmother rejected them all. She said she wanted to keep Xueniang for two years to teach her the rules.”

Hearing this, Shang Yukuan was afraid that such a good marriage would not come true in the end, so he said a little anxiously.

“Xue Niang’s rules have always been good, what else does mother-in-law have to teach me?”

“Father, don’t be anxious. After all, we want to let the Guo family know that we are not in a hurry to marry off our daughter. We will only treat Xue Niang well after she is actually married.”

“I see, my mother-in-law is thoughtful, but don’t let it go too long, it will make outsiders look jealous and take advantage of the loopholes, which will cause trouble.”

"Yes, my son will discuss the specific wedding date with his grandmother when he returns home, and he will tell his father when it is decided."

“Okay, okay, I’ll be waiting for your news, and I’ll definitely go there early.”

“Well, it’s just that my grandmother said that only my father would be invited, so it’s better for my father to arrange some things earlier.”

The smile on Shang Yukuan's face had not yet fallen off. When he heard his son's words, he didn't know how to answer it. He just sighed and asked.

"Wechsler is really pitiful. She has been rehabilitated for several years and has not been recognized by you. Can you talk to your grandmother? Just go for a while. I promise she won't say much."

“Father, if you want to say this, just talk to your grandmother yourself. You have also learned her temper, and your son will not dare to disobey her.”

"You don't dare to be disobedient, let alone being a father. Don't I want the whole family to live in harmony?"

"In this family, Mrs. Wei and we are not the same family. In this regard, father please put away your unrealistic fantasies. If your son still has something to do at home, take the first step."

Afterwards, before Shang Yukuan could speak, Shang Ji left the study and strode toward the outer courtyard, leaving Shang Yukuan behind who was sighing and embarrassed.

He could believe what would happen if Mrs. Wei knew that she could not go to the General's Mansion to watch the ceremony.

I felt extremely depressed. For a moment, I thought that if Mrs. Gu was still here, all this would not be like this.

　　But no amount of sighing could bring back her life. She had been gone for several years. After leaving Yunjin Courtyard, Shang Ji ran towards the door.

 He has no attachment to the Duke's Mansion at all, so he has no intention of staying.

However, as soon as he walked to the second door, he was blocked by Shang Qilang, who was supposed to be studying hard. Seeing that he still held a pen in his hand, he couldn't help but frown.

"What do you want to do?"

Shang Ji's question made Shang Qilang a little unsure of how to answer.

He was studying seriously when he suddenly heard his personal servant come to report that Shang Ji was back. Naturally, he hurried over to see if there was anything he could do to help. Who would have thought that this was an unfortunate coincidence.

 So, I could only ask bravely.

“Sixth brother, why are you here today?”

"Nothing to do with you."

"Sixth brother, we are brothers. You can tolerate and forgive even Third Brother, so why are you always so indifferent to me? I don't want to use you to gain access to His Highness the Crown Prince, I just..."

 “Just what?”

Shang Ji's eyes were fixed on Shang Qilang like a hawk. Even though he was full of thoughts, he couldn't speak clearly at the moment. In the end, he dodged away with a guilty conscience.

Seeing this, Shang Ji snorted coldly and said.

"Compared to you, Shang Sanlang is a little less hypocritical. At least when I found him, he made no secret of his ambition to climb up. But what about you? He wants to get close to me, both in words and in words. Not clinging to His Highness the Crown Prince? That’s a nice thing to say. If I take you under my command, even if you don’t cling to me, outsiders will know what’s going on.”

After ruthlessly exposing Shang Qilang's thoughts, Shang Ji stepped away sideways, leaving him a message before leaving.

 “Don’t treat others as fools.”

These words made Shang Qilang's body tremble all of a sudden. The ethical teachings he had always received were to hide all thoughts in his heart. He thought he had done a good job, but why every time he saw Sixth Brother, he Always breaking defenses.

 Not only did he have this idea, he also wanted to ease the relationship with Shang Ji, but he didn't know how to speak.

 Just looked at Brother Six's retreating figure and gradually disappeared outside the door.

 Then he went back to the study in disgrace, numbing himself with endless knowledge.

 After leaving the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Shang Ji mounted his horse again and returned to the General's Mansion.

He has resigned at home for the past three days, so he can stay for one more day tomorrow before going back to the military camp. He doesn't want to waste time staying in the Duke's Mansion, and would be happier to be gentle with his wife.

 Besides, he still has a lot to say to his wife.

Therefore, the whip was whipped faster, and the horse neighed as it ran on the carriage road. Luo Yuan followed closely behind him and was not thrown away.

 Soon, the two of them returned to the general's mansion.

 After entering the house, we headed towards Xitang Courtyard. By coincidence, we met my sister-in-law Liu, who was also chatting and laughing about the eighth sister Xue Niang.

When Du Jingyi and his sister-in-law Liu saw him coming in, they quickly waved to Shang Ji to sit down, and then took out the gift list sent by the Guo family this time and showed it to Shang Ji.
