My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 4 First acquaintance

As if he didn't think it was enough, he simply poured another glass.

It's a pity that this tea is not a hangover soup, and drinking it will not help.

My head was still very dizzy, so I leaned on the kang under the open window.

I closed my eyes and caught up on my sleep.

Seeing this situation, Butler He immediately gave instructions in a low voice.

Let's go, there is a young lady here who will take care of you.

Luo Yuan frowned, as if he was worried about whether the young lady could take care of the general.

But Butler He didn't allow him to delay for a moment longer.

He pulled his sleeves and hurried outside.

With no other choice, Luo Yuan could only follow Butler He out of the house in a hurry.

But with the armor in his hand, he could only go straight to the study.

There is a special place for placing armor, so it cannot be messed with.

When Du Jingyi returned to the main room from the side room, he frowned as soon as he entered the door.

Originally, there should be a faint scent of lotus in the room.

At this moment, there was a strong smell of alcohol.

It's not big, but in Du Jingyi's nose, which was pampered and raised, it's pungent to the sky.

You don't need to think about it to know that it must be her husband who returned to court victorious and returned from the palace banquet.

He took the veil and covered his mouth and nose.

After walking through the main hall to the Su embroidery screen in the middle of the dormitory, I saw this scene.

A strange man just lay down on her favorite seat without any courtesy.

Looking at the teacup on the table, it has also deviated from its original position.

But he slept soundly.

The moonlight outside shone thinly on him through the window.

It neutralizes a lot of his majestic and majestic personality.

On the contrary, there is a bit more laziness and comfort that only the noble masters in Sui'an City can have.

I have to say that her husband did have a good skin.

He has slender phoenix eyes, a high bridge of nose, thin lips like razor blades, and a tall body.

Just when Du Jingyi was worried about how to wake people up.

But Shang Ji, who had his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, there was an undeniable sense of oppression in those deep eyes.

Du Jingyi has never looked directly at her husband.

After being swept away by his ferocious look like a wolf and a tiger, he took two steps back in slight panic.

This scene happened to fall in Shang Ji's eyes.

He was also slightly surprised.

He thought that this time, what Mrs. Wei was begging for for him was probably a hard-fought woman with no salt.

Unexpectedly, she looked like a fairy under the moon.

If outsiders saw it, they would be confused and confused.

It's a pity that Shang Ji has been in the army for many years, and he is a person who has nothing to do.

So he sat up, took a few breaths, and asked as his expression returned to normal.

Are you Du's daughter?

One sentence brought Du Jingyi back to reality.

So what about good skin?

He didn't seem to be asking the lady in the house, but rather like a subordinate in the army.

So Du Jingyi put away his surprise and panic.

He gathered up his crimson nightgown, clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, bowed his knees and said.

My concubine, Mrs. Du, has met the general.

Um.

Shang Ji sat up and moved his muscles casually, but he was still a little drunk.

The thumb and index finger of his left hand pinched the Jingming point, and then he spoke.

I left home three years ago because of a military emergency. I have wronged you. I asked for a lot of jewelry and clothes in front of His Majesty. I can send them to you tomorrow. Consider it my apology.

His words were originally intended to ease the embarrassment between the two of them.

Who would have thought that Du Jingyi didn't even raise his eyelids and answered without emotion.

I thank your majesty and the general.

The two maids behind her also saluted and said.

Slave Yingying (Li Zhu) has met the general.

Well, get up.

He was used to seeing rude men in the army.

I'm a bit uncomfortable hearing such soft words.

He coughed twice and asked.

Where's the study?

Still in the right room.

Upon hearing this, Shang Ji got up and got down.

Seeing this, Yingying and Lizhu planned to step forward to help him put on his boots, but they were stopped by Shang Ji with a wave of his hand.

In the military, he had long been accustomed to managing his own food and clothing expenses.

So there is no arrogance or extravagance of a noble man at all.

There is no need for a maid to serve you closely.

After putting on his boots, he spoke.

I drank wine today, so I'm afraid I'll intoxicate you, so I'll go to the study and sleep.

Du Jingyi looked slightly stunned, but he didn't expect him to say this.

But after being stunned for a moment, he immediately replied appropriately.

Okay, I'll just have the hangover soup delivered to the study.

Um.

After saying this, he strode away quickly.

The pace is not like that of a drunken person.

It wasn't until the silhouette disappeared into the darkness that Du Jingyi seemed to realize that the person was gone.

Young madam, why don't you let the general stay in the main room?

The one who spoke was Li Zhu, who was always quick-tongued.

I am saying this now just for Du Jingyi's good.

After all, my young lady has been married into the Duke's palace for three years, and she is still a young lady in name only.

The gossipy women in the outer courtyard would make fun of this when they had nothing to do. Li Zhu heard this several times, both openly and secretly.

But when he quarreled with others, he always came up short.

If the general could be left to rest in the main room now, wouldn't it be a fair and just slap in the face of those women?

That's why I said this.

It's a pity that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is.

Du Jingyi showed no signs of wanting to keep her husband.

After he left, he said calmly.

Take out the moonlight incense and light it to disperse the smell in the house.

Yes, young lady.

After smelling the familiar smell, Du Jingyi's mind calmed down.

I have an indescribable feeling towards this husband I just met.

Although the two of them are nominally a couple, in reality they never spend more than half an hour together.

If he really stayed tonight, he wouldn't know how to serve yet.

Do not know why.

The look in his eyes when he just woke up is still fresh in my mind.

It's like the leader of a wolf pack staring at its prey.

Although it was only fleeting, Du Jingyi saw it.

There was ferocity and determination in his eyes.

It's no wonder that if you don't have some real skills, how can you win the Thirteen Border Cities?

Why……

Lying on the canopy bed with red sandalwood and ivory begonia flowers, I didn't fall asleep for a long time.

Tomorrow, she still doesn’t know how to face her familiar yet unfamiliar husband.

Tossing and turning, it wasn't until late at night that she couldn't help but fall asleep.

Unfortunately, it was early the next morning.

Du Jingyi was woken up by the loud voice of the woman outside.

I woke up with a somewhat unhappy frown.

All the maids, mothers-in-law and servants serving in Xitang Courtyard.

They are all down-to-earth and capable people who never talk too much.

It's all because Butler He and Aunt Dou are very strict.

After living with them for three years, there has never been such a trouble in the courtyard so early in the morning.
