Chapter 141 Two Confrontations

The words "the murderer" were almost hanging over her head.

Madam Wei glanced at Madam Jiao and realized that if she stayed any longer she would be exposed, so she pretended to be concerned and spoke.

"I told you to rest but you didn't. You've had a fever several times these days, but you're still holding on. Go down quickly, or else outsiders will say that we mistreat our servants in the Duke's Mansion."

Aunt Jiao naturally understood what Madam Wei meant, so she spoke in a deep voice.

"Thank you, ma'am, for your consideration."

After saying that, he bowed to everyone and left quickly.

When leaving, I don’t know if Du Jingyi mentioned it on purpose.

"Everyone in our Dongyuan has fallen ill. Could it be that something dirty has entered the Duke's Mansion?"

When she spoke, Aunt Jiao seemed to have thought of something, but in order to avoid being recognized, she lowered her head and bent her body and retreated.

In the hall, everyone's eyes were fixed on the man on the ground. Although Mrs. Wei knew everything behind the scenes, she would never allow herself to show weakness at this moment.

So he thought for a moment and said to the commander.

"Thank you very much, Commander, for saving my master. Now the house is still in a mess. I will send a thank-you gift to the door tomorrow to thank you for saving me."

The commander was happy to have received a life-saving favor for free.

Naturally, he didn't say much, so he clasped his fists in greeting and left with his men.

Only after he and a group of people from the Jingjisi left did the entire Yunjin Courtyard return to its former tranquility.

Mrs. Wei then looked at Mrs. Xing and said with a forced smile.

"I have some chores to deal with at home, so please step aside, Madam Xing."

"Oh, you only took the throne for a few days, and you don't want to acknowledge my Gu family as your relative? After all, the Duke is my brother-in-law. It's not wrong for me to care about such a big event as the assassination."

"That's true, but after all, it's the merchants who are going to deal with it behind closed doors. Madam Xing should give in."

Mrs. Wei has been in the rear house for many years, and everything she says is always veiled in meaning.

A merchant separated Mrs. Xing from the room, and it seemed inappropriate for her to stay any longer.

It was Du Jingyi who came out to smooth things over.

"Eldest sister-in-law and eighth sister have been sick these days and have been worried about aunt. Why don't you go and see them? Maybe they will get better faster."

Mrs. Xing thought about it and decided not to stay any longer.

"Okay, I'll go check on them both."

After saying this, Mrs. Xing took her son Xing Zhao and left Yunjinyuan.

Now, in the house, apart from some servants, there are only four real masters.

Madam Wei and Shang Silang, Du Jingyi and Shang Ji.

From the very beginning, there were two opposing factions in the Duke's Mansion, but sometimes the east wind prevailed over the west wind, and sometimes the west wind prevailed over the east wind.

It is rare to see a confrontation like today's without other people present.

Madam Wei wanted to end the battle quickly, but Shang Ji wanted to make a show of force.

He asked the man, his tone very indifferent.

"Do you want to recruit it yourself? Or do you want me to do it?"

Of course, that person had heard of Shang Ji's name, but hearing about it and seeing and experiencing it personally were completely different.

So, he is still pretending to be stubborn.

Shang Ji didn't even raise his eyelids, but waved his hand. Luo Yuan walked forward and broke his right leg with a click.

The man cried out in pain, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his face.

But there was a cloth strip stuffed in his mouth, so he couldn't even shout.

"What now? Do you want to confess yourself? Or do you want to continue?"

His voice sounded like a devil from hell, and every word he uttered was chilling.

The man nodded like crazy, the meaning was clear.

Luo Yuan walked up to him, took the cloth from his mouth, and threatened in a low voice.

"Don't even think about committing suicide. I have ten thousand ways to make sure you never die."

Severe pain, threatening words.

It seemed like he was warning the assassin, but in fact, he was also speaking to Madam Wei and Shang Silang.

Shang Silang was stupid and didn't understand what it meant.

He just looked at Luo Yuan with fear. For the first time, he felt that this man was really brutal when he attacked.

The handkerchief in Mrs. Wei's hand was almost torn. She clenched her fists and regretted this ridiculous decision very much.

He could be so cruel to the assassin, but what would he do if he knew that he was the one who hired the assassin?

I couldn't swallow my saliva anymore and heard the man wailing in pain.

"I admit it! I admit it!"

"explain!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"It was a woman who was neither fat nor thin who gave me money and asked me to shoot an arrow at the man in the carriage. If I knew he was the Duke of the Duke's Mansion, I would never dare to accept the order even if I were beaten to death."

The assassin originally thought it was just an ordinary revenge at home, and the other party had repeatedly warned him not to kill anyone, so he accepted it.

Who knew it was the Duke? !

He was deeply regretful at this moment.

"Neither fat nor thin? How old is he? Or do you remember his appearance?"

Du Jingyi asked appropriately.

But every time she said one more word, Mrs. Wei was startled, always feeling that she was hinting at something.

"He looked to be in his forties. When he saw me, there was a screen between us, so I didn't get a clear look at his face."

As he spoke, he gasped.

The pain of a broken leg is unbearable for ordinary people.

"The master has always been a kind person and rarely has grudges with others. At the age of forty, he still has money to hire a killer to kill someone? I don't think it's an ordinary family. Could it be that someone in some family has a grudge against Liu Lang and can't deal with you, so they attacked the master?"

As soon as Mrs. Wei opened her mouth, she wanted to turn the situation around.

There is nothing good about assassinating the Duke, but Shang Ji is different.

Who isn't jealous? Who isn't envious?

Maybe someone wanted to assassinate him, so they attacked the Duke. After all, it is possible that the father would pay for the son's debt.

When Shang Silang heard this, he thought it made a lot of sense and immediately agreed.

"Mother is right. It seems that father really suffered an undeserved disaster because of Sixth Brother."

When Du Jingyi heard him speak, he smiled.

She didn't know how stupid Shang Silang was before, but now when she compared him with him, she really felt that the Wei family was too bad.

Same father, different mother.

My husband can fight in all directions outside and make decisive decisions, and handle household affairs at home in a quick and efficient manner.

Even Shang Silang was led astray by just a few words without even realizing it.

That's ridiculous.

Seeing her chuckle, Mrs. Wei immediately became unhappy.

After all, Shang Silang is her son. Naturally, she would be unhappy if he was looked down upon.

So I scolded him and replied.

"Didn't the Du family teach you the rules? What do you mean by that smile?"

Du Jingyi was interrupted and immediately retorted.

"Fourth brother is already in his thirties, how can he believe everything he hears? You just said one or two sentences, which were just speculations, but he went straight to pin the matter on the general. People who don't know the truth may think this is the truth! I laugh at him for not thinking before doing anything!"
