Chapter 150 Kneeling and Begging for Mercy

One day, Shang Yukuan was leaning on the bed and taking medicine when he heard bursts of crying and shouting coming from the yard.

Madam Wei's eyes became fierce, and she knew that it must be the women from the third room who were unwilling to give up.

These days, she has rejected the request many times on the grounds that the Duke needs to recuperate.

But she didn't know what had possessed the Third Old Lady, and she insisted on making a fuss, so she simply stopped hiding it.

My eyes turned red, my nose felt sore, and I started crying.

Shang Yukuan was already upset, and now seeing his wife like this, he became even more annoyed.

"What's going on? What's going on outside?"

His hand was injured, not his ear, so he could naturally tell that the shouting voice came from the third room, which was why he asked this question.

When Mrs. Wei saw this, she started crying.

"These days, the master is recuperating from illness, so I haven't told you many things, for fear that your illness will relapse. But if you continue to stop me like this, I'm afraid that the third room will make trouble outside the mansion, and I will have no choice."

"Is it Erlang who lost too much money gambling again? Or is it about Si Niang's marriage?"

"If it were just these, I would handle it myself, but now it's much more troublesome!"

Then, Mrs. Wei took a deep breath and slowly spoke.

"Master, you don't know that you were assassinated this time because a servant in the mansion hired someone to kill you."

When Shang Yukuan heard the words "hiring a killer to commit murder", he was choked and almost passed out. He looked at Mrs. Wei with disbelief.

"What? Who is it?"

"Hey, it's Mother Qin who is next to Erlang's wife. Does the master have any impression of her?"

Shang Yukuan frowned. He had some impression of Qin's mother, but he had no grudge against her in the past or in the present. How could this happen? "Why did she want to find someone to assassinate me? What good would it do her if I died?"

"My Lord, you may not know that on the day you were assassinated, the Gyeonggi-do Commandery arrested the criminal. Liu Lang interrogated him for a long time but to no avail. In the end, it was His Majesty who ordered the Ministry of Justice to conduct an interrogation and finally found out the truth."

In between words, he always mentioned Shang Ji and accused him of incompetence.

"Then what?"

"After the investigation, my brother led people to search the house. When they searched the third room of Beiyuan, they tried to shirk responsibility. As expected, Madam Qin was arrested out of guilt. Two thousand five hundred taels of unknown silver notes were also found in Erlang's wife's room."

When hearing this, Shang Yukuan didn't even know how to describe his shock at the moment.

"I have never treated them harshly! Why do I have to do this?!"

He was so angry that he started coughing violently, and the wound was affected, causing him to cry out in pain again.

Mrs. Wei said to him comfortingly while she was helping him calm down.

"Not to mention the master, even I dare not believe it, but the things were found in their courtyard, and..."

"What else? Just tell me everything. I can handle it!"

"We also found some witchcraft dolls in Third Uncle's house. They have the master's and people from the East and West Gardens' dolls on them."

After hearing this, Shang Yukuan could no longer listen to anything else.

My heart and eyes are filled with misunderstanding and the pain of being plotted against.

"The Jingji Division has taken away my third uncle, Erlang's wife, and her mother Qin. My third aunt comes to me every day to beg for mercy, but what can I do as a woman in the back house?"

This made Shang Yukuan extremely angry, and he raised his hand and smashed the medicine bowl in Mrs. Wei's hand.

My chest was also heaving, and I didn't know how angry I was in my heart.

When Mrs. Wei saw this, a hint of success flashed in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

When he looked up again, he asked with a look of grievance.

"Now they heard that the master has woken up, so they are clamoring to see you. Are they going to see you or not?"

"Why do you want to see them? Do you think my life is not long enough?"

There was no longer the protection and pity for his family in his words as before. If he had a knife at hand, he would have stabbed them a few times to vent his anger!

Outside the yard, Aunt Jiao sent people to stop them.

Sanlang's wife was a smart woman. She came here once before and never came again.

So the one who is shouting the loudest now is the third old lady.

As for her daughters-in-law Fan and Si Niang, they usually didn't like to talk, so most of the time they just came along and shed tears silently.

"Madam Jiao, please let us in. Yu Kuan has suffered so much, at least let us go in and take a look."

"Madam San, don't worry. The Duke is fine. As for what you are thinking, you know it and I know it too. Please don't make it difficult for me."

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

Aunt Jiao felt that since the third room had been chosen as the scapegoat, it would be best if they all died together so that she would have no worries in the future.

But she knew exactly what kind of person the Duke was.

I'm afraid that if the Third Old Lady cries a little longer, the Duke will be able to swallow any grudge he has.

Therefore, she didn't want these people to come in front of Shang Yukuan.

But the third old lady was determined, and she was very strong. Seeing that there was nowhere to turn to, she simply gritted her teeth and rushed in.

Four or five maids failed to stop her, and she rushed into the main house.

This gave Mrs. Wei a fright.

However, the third old lady's target was not her, but Shang Yukuan who was recovering from his injuries.

Madam Jiao knew his temper, and so did the Third Old Lady, so asking Shang Yukuan for mercy would surely work.

So this time, he didn't act like an elder. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground, crawled in front of Shang Yukuan, and cried loudly.

"Yukuan, please save your uncle. You should have known since childhood what he thinks of you. That witchcraft puppet was simply a frame-up!"

She cried so loudly that Shang Yukuan also had a headache listening to her.

He was gritting his teeth just now, but now he was a little flustered.

Looking at Madam Wei, there was a look of help in her eyes! But the Third Old Lady had finally found an opportunity to see him, and she didn't care about her face.

"That vicious woman, Guan, actually dared to hire someone to kill you. If I knew she was such a person, I would never have let her into the mansion. Now, in order to save her own life, she has implicated your third uncle in these matters. Isn't she just trying to drag our family to death?"

"I've already asked Erlang to write a divorce letter. What she did has nothing to do with our Third House! You can kill her or chop her up if you want, but your Third Uncle is really innocent!"

After saying that, the third old lady quickly handed over the divorce letter.

Her action was unexpected not only to Shang Yukuan but also to Madam Wei.

It seems that these three families are spineless. In order to protect themselves, they are willing to let Guan take on all the responsibilities.

She hired someone to kill the Duke and put the blame on her husband's grandfather.

Not to mention anything else, these two serious crimes are enough to kill her or the entire Guan family.
