Chapter 142: Poison Plan

Originally, Du Jingyi was planning to act like a wronged and pitiful person to the end.

However, after hearing what Shang Silang said, she became unhappy and started to protect her husband.

Who the hell is he to be here doubting this and that?

If he really knew that what happened today was caused by his good mother, he would probably be so shocked that he would be speechless.

Similarly, Shang Ji was not someone who would be bullied. He snorted coldly and spoke in support of Du Jingyi.

"Rules? It's really interesting to hear this word coming from Madam Wei. If I were to say, you are the one with the most unruly behavior. Do you need me to publicize what happened back then?"

"you!"

Mrs. Wei was about to tear the handkerchief in her hand, and she wanted to pounce on the couple and slap them twice.

It's a pity that although she is the wife of a duke, she has no real power.

Even if she wanted to act rashly in front of Shang Ji, she was powerless to do so. She could only heal her eyes and start crying.

"Master, please wake up. Everyone in this family can trample me into the mud. Silang, I have been humiliated to this extent, and you don't even want to say a word?"

Shang Silang suddenly felt a little ashamed.

But when it comes to scolding, he is no match for Du Jingyi, and when it comes to power, he is no match for his sixth brother.

What else could he do? He could only clasp his fists and say with shame.

"What the mother said is that her son is useless and should go back to reflect on his mistakes."

After saying this, he left angrily.

Looking at this son who looked exactly like her husband, Mrs. Wei was completely worn out.

"What sin have I committed to give birth to such a useless thing? If Qilang was at home today, I would never let you bully me like this!"

As he spoke, he cried.

This time the tears were genuine, and I cried much better than before.

"So what if Qilang is here? Do you think I'll be scared?"

Shang Ji looked at Madam Wei coldly, his eyes full of mockery.

"Alright, I think we can't get any information here. Luo Yuan, bring the man back to East Garden and interrogate him yourself."

"yes."

She wanted to speak up to stop him, but she saw Shang Ji take a step forward, pick up Du Jingyi and leave.

He didn't even say goodbye when he left.

Luo Yuan did the same, he picked up the man with the broken leg and went out.

Such arrogance made Mrs. Wei so angry that she almost smashed the teacup in front of her.

Aunt Jiao, who had been hiding in the next room and eavesdropping, ran in in a panic and closed the door tightly.

He immediately knelt down on the ground and cried to Mrs. Wei.

"Madam, please save me. If that man is not trustworthy and the general finds out something, I'm afraid my whole family will be executed."

The servant hired someone to kill his master.

This is news rarely heard in the Daxing Dynasty.

By then, even if everyone knows that she is not the "mastermind behind the scenes", she will definitely be forced to admit everything in order to take the blame.

Not to mention her, her entire family has no chance of survival.

Bang, bang, bang. He kowtowed with greater force than anyone else, and soon red bruises appeared.

Nanny Jiao had served Madam Wei for many years, and she felt very distressed when she saw this, so she pulled her up and said.

"If you are found out about this, I will be punished too. We have to think of a comprehensive way to get rid of this matter."

"What does ma'am mean?"

"Why not just go all the way and go to the third room? I remember that the mother Qin next to Erlang's wife was in her forties, neither fat nor thin. To be honest, she looks a bit like you in profile."

After hearing this, some hope arose in Madam Jiao's heart.

As long as she could survive, she would not only frame the assassin but would also be willing to send him to death!

Suddenly, Aunt Jiao remembered what Du Jingyi had just said.

Then, a vicious plot emerged.

He began to speak into Mrs. Wei's ear.

"I am worried that it might not be appropriate to frame only Mother Qin. Why would she hire someone to kill the master when she has no grudge against him?"

"So what do you want to do?"

"Why not pin this matter directly on the Third Old Master? Haven't you always wanted to get these blood-sucking leeches out of the Duke's Mansion? This is a good opportunity."

"What do you mean?"

"The Third House has been coveting the prestige of the Duke's Mansion for a long time. Ever since they found out that the Fifth House had moved out, they have been worried that they would be the next one. In order to stay in the Duke's Mansion, they naturally have to do something."

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

"If the master is ill or in trouble, it would be reasonable for them to stay in the mansion to help take care of him, right?"

Madam Wei felt that something was wrong with what Madam Jiao said.

Although it is a reason, it is somewhat far-fetched.

"Moreover, these days, everyone in the East Garden has fallen ill, and the master has encountered this disaster. Suddenly, there are many people in charge of the family missing. Maybe it was the Third House who did it, just to have an excuse to stay! And then replace him!"

It was obvious that Aunt Jiao was desperate and was trying every possible means, so the ideas she came up with were not perfect.

In Mrs. Wei's mind, she felt that the people in Dongyuan fell ill for other purposes.

But right now doesn't seem to be a good time to pursue this matter.

Who knows when Shang Ji will find out the truth? We must push the third room out as a scapegoat before that happens to divert the spotlight.

So, I didn’t care about anything else.

"Well, we must be careful in this matter and don't let the people from Dongyuan get hold of anything."

"Madam, rest assured. This time, I will not take action on my own. There is no need to be frightened or you will be scared to death."

The master and servant began to carefully study how to find the third wife to be a scapegoat.

And all of this is what Du Jingyi wants to see.

The assassin was just a cover. Luo Yuanti did not return to Dongyuan, but locked him up in the woodshed next to it.

When he left, he was afraid that others might not know that there was someone here, so he specifically gave instructions to his subordinates.

"Watch closely! This man is a wanted criminal who is trying to assassinate the Duke. If anything goes wrong, we will all be in trouble!"

The servants were all brought up by Steward He, so they naturally knew what to do with priority. They locked the room up immediately and kept a close watch on the room.

All of this fell into the eyes of the servant sent by Mrs. Wei, who thought he had discovered some important secret and hurried back to report it.

But he didn't notice the sarcasm on Luo Yuan's lips.

Shang Ji carried Du Jingyi all the way back to Xitang Courtyard.

Madam Xing and Xing Zhao had been waiting here long ago. When they saw the two of them come in, they immediately surrounded them.

"What do you say? How do you deal with it?"

"The assassin said that he was hired to kill someone and is now locked up in the woodshed next door, awaiting his fate."

"Is it that simple?"

Madam Xing obviously didn't believe it. She had known for a long time that the person who hired the murderer was Madam Wei, but she didn't see Madam Wei being humiliated or caught today, so she was naturally unhappy.

But when she saw the smile on Du Jingyi's face, she knew there must be a follow-up to this matter.
