My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

When the Du family and his wife returned to Mingse Courtyard, their expressions did not improve much.

Mrs. Du finally got rid of those fake relatives, so naturally she was still very angry with Mr. Du.

He said viciously as soon as he entered the door.

Hmph, you just know how to push me forward to be the fool's vanguard, while you hide behind and use dirty tricks!

Mr. Du is very capable of bending and stretching, especially in front of his wife.

I hurriedly sent the tea cup up.

Madam, let's calm down. Let's take a sip of tea to moisten your throat. You've had a hard day today, but it's just this one time. Our young father-in-law and son-in-law return to court victorious. Let's see if they, timid and fearful people, dare to make mistakes!

He knew how to deceive, and Mrs. Du was relieved after hearing this.

Instead, Cui'an, the maid at the side, couldn't help but laugh.

Mrs. Du immediately frowned coldly.

What's the matter? Is the master right?

Madam, please calm down. The master is wise and mighty, and the madam is virtuous and generous. Our Du family's current momentum depends entirely on you two. I am laughing at those people who have failed to draw water from a bamboo basket.

After hearing this, Mrs. Du became much calmer.

That's right! I don't think about making progress every day. I just think about how to get there first. Just because I didn't give birth to a son for your Du family, these old people have caused so many obstacles for me in public and privately!

Then he snorted coldly and glanced at Mr. Du who was sitting next to him.

Mr. Du immediately swore to the sky.

Don't worry, madam! Even if they send a fairy, I will never take another look.

Mrs. Du benefited a lot from seeing her husband's sincere face.

In recent years, the worried relatives of the Du family have come several times a year to persuade concubines to reconcile.

But seeing that Mr. Du's iron barrels were difficult to break, he decided to target her two daughters.

First, they asked them to recognize Du Jingxian, the fourth brother, as their heir and inherit the incense.

After being sternly rejected by Mr. Du, he threatened that unmarried girls would not be allowed to share the family property.

It turned out that when Du Jingyi was only thirteen or fourteen years old, there were several well-matched people who wanted to come and get engaged, but he was disturbed by the visit of these top relatives.

Later, Mr. Du said he was looking for a son-in-law, and the whole family was in an uproar.

Those who knew it were that the Du family wanted a son-in-law to come to their house, but those who didn't know thought that the Du family was a place where life-threatening ghosts lived.

Whoever gets involved will be unlucky!

The back and forth process naturally dragged on for a long time.

Seeing that Du Jingyi has had hair extensions for several months and no good marriage has come to her, how can the couple not be anxious!

Even though they have been given enough in recent years, they are still so dissatisfied.

Mrs. Du was angry, and Master Du was naturally not happy either.

Unexpectedly, when I fell asleep on the pillow, I met the Duke and he was also worried about the marriage of the young Duke.

It just so happened that there were rumors that they had given their daughter a hard life.

Sure enough, the Duke and his wife came to discuss the marriage in person.

All this made the Du family and his wife feel scared.

If she hadn't been so lucky to have this marriage, wouldn't it mean that her daughter Du Jingyi would have to die in the boudoir all her life? Thinking of this makes her angry.

He asked immediately.

Where are the second young lady and uncle?

Go back to Madam, she's in Jianliuyuan.

Jianliu Courtyard is the courtyard where Du Jingyi lived before getting married.

It was appropriate for her to go back home and take her husband to take a look at the courtyard where she used to live.

After hearing this, Mrs. Du suppressed her anger and turned to give instructions.

Send someone to call them. It's time to have lunch. After that, we should go back to the Duke's mansion as soon as possible, so as not to stay here and meet that shameless screwdriver and add to the joke.

Yes, I will go and invite someone here.

In Mingse Courtyard, Mr. Du was still coaxing Mrs. Du in a good voice.

In Jianliu Courtyard, which is not too far apart, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi live in separate rooms, each with their own ideas.

Du Jingyi just returned to the yard and said that he was not feeling well and wanted to take a rest.

Shang Ji glanced sideways at the simple box and knew that she had something to deal with.

Speaking of which, it was only the third day that the two met.

He himself couldn't tell the truth, so naturally he wouldn't ask Du Jingyi like this.

So, he nodded and went to the left room to rest.

In the main room, after Du Jingyi closed the doors and windows, he immediately asked the maid Cherry to open the box.

As expected, there were several thick volumes inside.

However, it was not marked with the word Du. Instead, it contained many records about the property of a wealthy businessman named Yiyan.

Densely packed, stack after stack.

Others only know that the Du family is a wealthy family, but in Sui'an City, which merchant family can stand up and is not rich?

Therefore, outsiders don't know much about how much money the Du family has.

All I know is that the Du family's wedding ceremony is very grand, and the Du family is also very charitable.

But only Du Jingyi knew that this box contained not only the family property that had been saved over the years, but also the Du family's future retreat.

Now that the Daxing Dynasty has had two emperors, it is still calm to say the least.

But there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes.

Two dynasties can be replaced in just a few decades, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.

Therefore, apart from the Du family and his wife, only Du Jingyi knows the secret hidden in this box.

What happened many years ago is so vivid in my mind.

At that time, Du Jingyi was only four or five years old, and he had already fiddled with the abacus in his hands very clearly.

When Mr. Du held her in his arms and looked at the account book, he also taught her bit by bit.

Therefore, Du Jingyi's ability to read did not come from poetry, books, and poems, but was taught by Master Du using an account book.

Who allowed her to show her extremely talented business acumen since she was a child.

Therefore, Mr. Du cultivated it carefully.

Just as Mr. Du was still smiling from ear to ear because he had made another 1.2 million taels of profit this year.

Du Jingyi tilted his little head and asked curiously.

Dad, if someone knew that our family was fattening pigs and growing sheep, would someone use a knife to bleed?

The words of a childish girl are not meant to be true.

However, Mrs. Du next to her realized the truth of the rich must be hidden.

At that time, the two dynasties coincided with each other, and naturally a lot of wealth was built up in the open and secret.

The couple was obviously a little carried away.

Fortunately, their daughter's childish words woke them up from their sweet dreams.

In times of turmoil, the most important thing is to hide oneself.

Who knows if today’s scenery will be gone tomorrow.

So after Du Jingyi reminded this sentence, the Du couple began to build the plank road openly and secretly crossed Chencang.

Thirteen years.

The couple made up the name Yan Zhiqing out of thin air, and gradually made this name famous in Jinling City.

Not only that, but 80% to 90% of the wealth in his hands fell on his head without any trace.
