There was a gentle knock on the door, and a voice came from inside.

"Who?"

As soon as he heard it, he knew that it was Xue Niang's, and the corners of Shang Ji's mouth rose slightly, so he replied.

"It's me, I'm coming to see my sister-in-law and Ping'er."

Xue Niang was a little surprised, after all, her brother basically didn't rest in the house at night, so it was a little strange for him to come at this time.

She was about to open the door when she saw Shang Zhiping suddenly pull her sleeve.

There was fear and resentment in his eyes, but because he was small and lacking momentum, he looked like a cat's paw was about to scratch someone, with a bit of funny.

"What's wrong, Ping'er? It's your sixth uncle. ”

Xue Niang didn't know about the conflict that broke out between her brother and sister-in-law before, so it was very strange.

How could my nephew react like this, so he looked at his sister-in-law on the side.

But the sister-in-law behaved a lot calmer, glanced at her son, touched his head and said.

"Don't be afraid, it's the sixth uncle."

There was softness and comfort in her tone, and Shang Zhiping's heart was slightly relieved, but he still looked out the door worriedly.

I don't want this sixth uncle to enter the door at all.

"Come in."

Sister-in-law Liu called out the door, and then saw Shang Ji walk in.

There was some solemnity in his face, but his steps were firm.

"Sister-in-law."

"Hmm."

The conversation between the two was much less than before, and there was still some inexplicable coldness.

Xue Niang is not stupid, and after noticing that something seems to be wrong, she glanced at Shang Zhiping, and then said.

"Why don't I take Ping'er out for a walk, sixth brother, you can talk to your sister-in-law."

"Okay."

"Not necessarily."

The two of them talked at the same time, and Xue Niang was a little embarrassed and didn't know who to listen to.

But before the sister-in-law could speak, Shang Ji took the lead in speaking.

"It's all a family, stay, I have something to say with you."

Hearing this, the sister-in-law finally looked up at Shang Ji with some uncertainty in her eyes.

But then she acquiesced, and after glancing at Xue Niang, she walked over and closed the door.

In the room, there is no warmth just now.

Since the emergence of Shangji, it has been more cold and repulsive.

Don't talk about Shang Ji herself, even Xue Niang feels it.

There were four cups of tea on the table, but no one lifted them up to take a sip first.

The silence made Xue Niang feel a little embarrassed, and she was thinking about whether to say a few words.

I listened to Shang Ji's mouth.

"Today in Yunjin Courtyard, the third room and the fifth room fought, in order to compete for the qualification to enter the Minwang Mansion as a concubine, Mrs. Wei invited Jing Yi over, and then said something, the stimulated fifth uncle and grandfather wanted to beat Mrs. Wei, but she was smashed with a green jade bottle."

"Life and death are unknown now."

When she heard this, let alone two children, her sister-in-law Liu was quite shocked.

She has been married into the Guogong Mansion for more than ten years, and her dealings with Mrs. Wei are the most in Dongyuan.

I never knew she would be so ruthless!

How hateful the fifth old lady is, she also knows it, but now she is unclear about life and death?

"What about others? Are you still recuperating in the house? ”

The sister-in-law asked the key.

"No, about two hours ago, Mrs. Wei sent it to Zhuangzi outside the city on the grounds that Gorou had a strange disease and was afraid that it would be contagious."

"Goro? What's going on with him here? ”

"I heard that it was a sudden serious illness in Yunjin Courtyard, and it was covered with herpes all over his body, and he looked very terrible."

Hearing this, both Ping'er and Xue Niang were frightened.

I don't have to think about it, I feel scared.

But the sister-in-law Liu felt that it was not simple, raised her eyes to look at Shang Ji, and was silent for a long time before asking.

"Is it my brother and sister's hand?"

"Hmm."

As soon as these words came out, she seemed to have figured out a lot of things, but Xue Niang and Ping'er next to her still looked ignorant.

The sister-in-law was still wondering if she should continue to talk about it, but Shang Ji said bluntly.

"The two of you are thirteen, fourteen, and you are about to become adults, so there is no need to be separated from you in everything, I will make it clear at once today."

"Last time, I had the person in charge killed, and the people in the fifth room came to make trouble, and after only a few words of reprimand, Du Shi gave away a hundred taels of silver, and the sister-in-law and the people in Dongyuan all complained about it."

"But I asked her afterwards, and she didn't hide it, and told me about the medicine on the silver, the medicine came from the Western Regions, and it would make people have some terrible rashes, and it looked like they had an epidemic, but the onset took a long time, so today, she started to make an introduction, which involved Mrs. Wei to withdraw all the five rooms for this reason."

"In the past, Mrs. Wei indulged in three rooms and five rooms to suppress Dongyuan, what is the purpose of the sister-in-law, you must all know that the sister-in-law has to protect the East Garden, which is really laborious. But I still say that you can't protect them for a lifetime, you always have to let them grow up to experience and face the wind and rain on their own. ”

"Purely from this matter, I think she has done a good job, and now Mrs. Wei has a grudge with Wufang, and Sanfang also has a lot of complaints about her, but Dongyuan is outside of this matter, so it can be seen that what she wants to do can indeed be done."

These words were said in the hearts of the three people.

They were all silent, not knowing how to answer.

Xue Niang didn't expect that the sixth sister-in-law looked at Jiao Didi and was kind, and she was ruthless when she moved.

As for the sister-in-law, she is more reminiscing.

Thinking about the causes and consequences of this matter, thinking about her arrangements these days, and the change in the attitude of the housekeeper and Mama Dou.

Shang Zhiping, on the other hand, is much simpler.

"Before, for this matter, I spoke a little excessively, which hurt my sister-in-law's heart, it's mine, and I ask my sister-in-law to forgive one or two."

After speaking, he got up and respectfully gave his sister-in-law Liu a fist salute.

This made the sister-in-law feel a little ashamed all of a sudden.

These days, she is actually reflecting on herself.

Why did you think that?

If her husband is still there, the family is harmonious, her son is smart, and she has the power to run the family, she will feel that she will also be a virtuous sister-in-law.

But once she lost power, the days when the roof leaked rained made her have to live with a string at any time.

Everyone thinks it's problematic and greasy.

Over time, this heart will also have some diseases.

In the final analysis, I still didn't give up on the authority of Dongyuan.

Even if he generously gave it to Du Jingyi, he was a little unwilling in his heart.

That's why after making trouble in the fifth room, I didn't ask anyone to come to the door and wanted to take back the power.

will be dissatisfied with Shang Ji who came to the door to explain the matter.

Behind this, she still felt that this was the only thing she could hold.

If it's gone, then there's really nothing.

It's sad, it's sad, it's funny.
