My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 94 Cleaning up the fifth house

For the first time, the servants in the Duke's Mansion saw the masters running around with their heads in arms, and they all started talking about the things in Yunjin Courtyard.

Shang Yukuan, who was in the main room of Yunjin Courtyard, was also in shock at this moment.

“Fifth...Uncle Five is not really dead, right?”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but pat his chest. He finally came to his senses.

 But Mrs. Wei, who was usually gentle and amiable to him, looked at him as if she were seeing something disgusting, and her eyes were full of disgust.

 He also knew that he was not responsible, so he looked at him briefly and stopped talking.

 He stood up and walked out, deliberately avoiding the blood stains on the ground, as if it had nothing to do with him as long as it was not contaminated.

　　Hided himself back to his favorite study room to avoid the mundane world.

 After seeing that everyone was gone, Grandma Jiao quickly ordered people to clean the inside and outside.

 There was no place to sit or stand in the yard or in the house.

And Mrs. Wei, who was still trying not to show any timidity just now, was like a puppet that fell apart, losing all her strength.

Seeing this, Grandma Jiao immediately came forward to help her.

 “Madam, are you okay?”

Mrs. Wei held Grandma Jiao's hand tightly, with a lot of nervousness in her eyes.

  She has done many harmful things.

 But those were all private conspiracies, not beating people to death in front of everyone like today.

“That **** old man has dirt buried up to his neck, and he’s going to hurt me again. Du’s useless one, I thought she was so capable. She just pretended to faint and ran away! Damn it!”

 She left these relatives to take care of her at home, which was originally a hot potato for the couple.

 But now, it seems that I have dug a hole for myself.

Dongyuan was not touched at all, but she was deeply involved in it.

　　Not only did he have a grudge against the third house, but he also had a grudge against the fifth house.

At this moment, if the fifth old master dies, won’t they be wreaking havoc to the death?

She now has a severe headache and wants to find a place to hide and be quiet for two days.

 But she has been getting along with these people for decades, and Mrs. Wei knows their temperament very well.

So, after taking a few deep breaths, I calmed down a lot and started planning.

 After a while, there was a calculation in my mind.

"Go and block Dr. Zhou's mouth tightly. No matter what news you hear, just say that Wu Lang has a strange disease and should be sent to Zhuangzi for rest. If the people in the fifth room are not happy, send them away together! "

 “But will it make a scene...”

 “Making a fuss? When did you become afraid of others making a fuss?”

When she heard this, Grandma Jiao reacted immediately, lowered her eyes and said respectfully.

 “I understand, this slave, let’s do it now.”

Anyway, she wanted to keep this matter at home first. If Wufang could have some brains and stop talking nonsense, she could still think of protecting her relatives.

 But if they insist on making trouble, don't blame yourself for sending them to hell.

Once she figured this out, Mrs. Wei was no longer as afraid as she was just now.

 In the final analysis, it’s just a death. It’s not like I’ve never died before, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.

There was a coldness in his eyes, and then he stared at the blood stains on the brocade blanket on the ground, wondering what he was thinking or remembering.

There were endless disputes outside. Shang Ji, who was riding his horse back, received the news from Liu Xun halfway, along with everything that happened in Yunjin Courtyard.

 After hearing this, he couldn't help but sneer.

I thought to myself that this lady of mine, who looked so inconspicuous, would be an irreversible dead end if she took action. He was not surprised at all that the fifth old man would go crazy and attack Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei did not have any loyal servants to protect her, so naturally she could only smash whatever she could find.

If the fifth old man was really beaten to death, it would be because of the enmity between the two families.

  Has nothing to do with Dongyuan.

But Shang Wulang's illness suddenly became so frightening that he didn't believe it without Du Jingyi's handiwork.

 Since the wife wants him to go back later, then he should go back later.

So, a group of people who originally ran for 800 miles stopped five miles outside the city.

 Stop when you stop, and let the horse eat the grass.

 This made Luo Yuan completely confused.

Didn’t you say something happened at home? That's why they rushed back in such a hurry.

 What's the matter? Is everything okay now?

 The autumn wind turned cold, but for the soldiers who had returned from Cezhou, it was like scratching an itch and they felt nothing.

 In Dongyuan, Du Jingyi finally woke up after using two sets of "spiritual medicine" passed down from his family.

 She reported her illness directly to the outside world, saying that she needed to rest and could not move.

At this moment, everyone's attention is focused on the five-bedroom Yingjuan Courtyard, so naturally no one cares about the news in the Xitang Courtyard.

 Unless she is pregnant, she will not be able to stir up any waves.

 Since it is pretending to be ill, it is natural to act like one.

After learning the news, Xue Niang rushed over from Fuqiuyuan immediately, with worries in her eyes.

Du Jingyi glanced behind her and saw no one else, so he understood clearly.

I'm afraid my sister-in-law still has some quarrel with them, so she doesn't want to come over.

But since his husband told him to handle the matter, Du Jingyi would not rush to do anything to "apologize to his sister-in-law".

 But she still treated this sister-in-law a little more sincerely.

“Sixth sister-in-law, are you okay? I heard that you were so frightened that you fainted in Yunjin Courtyard. What happened that was so scary?”

Xue Niang is only four years younger than Du Jingyi, but as long as she is under hairpin, she is considered a child in Du Jingyi's eyes.

So, she looked like an elder and touched Xue Niang's hair, and said.

"It's nothing. I guess there will be trouble outside these days. Just stay with sister-in-law Heping'er in Dongyuan. If nothing happens, don't go outside. We will move in a few days. If you are really bored, what can you think of? Things can be sent in advance, so let’s start packing them up.”

Xue Niang also knew that she was young, and her eldest sister-in-law usually treated her like Ping'er's nephew, but she didn't expect that her sixth sister-in-law would do the same.

Although there was worry in her eyes, she was sensible and would not inquire into the details. She could only stay by Du Jingyi's side quietly.

The occasional greetings reminded Du Jingyi of his sister at home.

 Hence, I have some sincere love for her.

I always thought that I would find a good marriage for her and live a happy and comfortable life, instead of becoming a puppet in the hands of my family like the daughters with three and five bedrooms.

 In this farce, the two parties involved, Qiniang and Siniang, did not appear.

 Si Niang didn’t go because she was so disheartened that she didn’t care where her family arranged for her to go.

 So I don’t care at all and don’t participate.

Qiniang did not go, simply because she was taking care of the sick Mrs. Guo.
