Chapter 94: Cleaning the Five Rooms

For the first time, the servants in the Duke's Mansion saw their masters running around in fear, and they began to discuss what was happening in the Yunjin Courtyard.

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

"Fifth...Uncle Fifth is not really dead, is he?"

He couldn't help but pat his chest while speaking, and now he finally came back to his senses.

But Mrs. Wei, who was usually gentle and kind to him, looked at him at this moment as if she saw something disgusting, with disgust in her eyes.

He also knew that he was useless, so he took a quick look and stopped talking.

He stood up and walked out, deliberately avoiding the bloodstains on the ground, as if it would have nothing to do with him as long as he didn't get stained with them.

He hid in his favorite study room, away from the mundane world.

After seeing that everyone had left, Madam 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.

Mrs. Wei, who had just been trying hard not to show any weakness, now looked like a broken puppet, completely exhausted.

Upon seeing this, Madam Jiao immediately stepped forward to help.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

Madam Wei tightly grasped Madam Jiao's hand, with a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

She has done many things that harm others.

But those were all private conspiracies, not killing people in front of everyone like what happened today.

"That damn old man, with the dirt buried up to his neck, wanted to hurt me again. I thought Mrs. Du was useless, but she pretended to faint and ran away in a few seconds! Damn it!"

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

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

Dong Yuan was not affected at all, but she was the one who was deeply involved in it.

Not only did he have grudges against the third wife, he also became enemies with the fifth wife.

If the Fifth Old Master died, wouldn't they fight to the death? She had a terrible headache now, and she wished she could find a place to hide away for a few days.

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

So, after taking a few deep breaths and calming down a lot, I started to plan.

After a while, I had some ideas in my mind.

"Go and shut Doctor Zhou up. No matter what news he hears, just say that Wu Lang has a strange disease and needs to be sent to the manor to recuperate. If the people in the Fifth House are not happy about it, send them away as well!"

"But will there be any trouble..."

"Make a fuss? Since when did you become afraid of people making a fuss?"

When she heard this, Aunt Jiao reacted immediately, lowered her eyes and spoke respectfully.

"I understand. I will do it right away."

Anyway, this matter had to be kept secret at home first. If the fifth roommate could have some common sense and not talk nonsense, she could still protect him for the sake of their relationship.

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

Once she realized this, Mrs. Wei was no longer as afraid as she had just been.

After all, it's just a person who died. It's not like people have died before, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and then he stared at the bloodstains on the brocade blanket on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking or recalling.

There was endless dispute outside, and Shang Ji, who was riding back on his horse, received the news sent by Liu Xun halfway, including everything that happened in Yunjin Courtyard.

After listening to this, he couldn't help but sneer.

He thought that his wife, although she seemed to be very low-key, would be in an irreversible dead end once she made a move.

He didn't find it strange at all that the Fifth Old Master would go crazy and attack Madam Wei.

Madam Wei had no loyal servants around her, so naturally she could only grab and smash whatever she could get her hands on.

If the fifth old master was really crushed to death, then it was also the hatred between their two families.

It has nothing to do with Dongyuan.

But Shang Wulang's illness occurred suddenly and was so frightening that he didn't believe that Du Jingyi had nothing to do with it.

Since his wife wants him to go back later, then let him go back later.

So, the team that was originally running at a speed of 800 miles stopped five miles outside the city.

Just stop and let the horse eat grass.

This left Luo Yuan completely confused.

Didn't they say something happened at home? That's why they were rushing back so anxiously.

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

What happened? Everything is fine now?

The autumn wind turned cold, but for the soldiers who had returned from Cezhou, it was just like an itch and they didn't feel anything.

In the East Garden, Du Jingyi finally woke up after using two sets of family heirloom "magic medicine".

He reported his illness directly to the outside world and said that he needed to rest and could not move.

At this moment, everyone's attention is focused on the Yingjuan Courtyard of the Fifth House, and naturally no one cares about the news in the Xitang Courtyard.

Unless she is pregnant, there won't be any big waves.

Since you are pretending to be sick, you naturally have to act like one.

After learning the news, Xueniang immediately rushed over from Fuqiu Courtyard, with worry in her eyes.

Du Jingyi glanced behind her and didn't see anyone else, so he understood what was going on.

My sister-in-law probably still has some grudges with them, so she doesn't want to come.

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

But she still treated her sister-in-law with a little more sincerity.

"Sixth sister-in-law, are you okay? I heard that you fainted from shock in Yunjin Courtyard. What happened to make it so terrible?"

Xueniang is only four years younger than Du Jingyi, but as long as she is under the age of marriage, she is considered a child in Du Jingyi's eyes.

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

"Nothing. I think things will get chaotic outside these days. You should stay in the East Garden with your sister-in-law and Ping'er. Don't go out unless necessary. We will move in a few days. If you are really bored, think about what can be sent over in advance and start packing."

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

Although there was worry in her eyes, she was sensible and did not ask any further questions. She could only stay quietly by Du Jingyi's side.

The occasional concern and care reminded Du Jingyi of his elder sister at home.

Therefore, I have some genuine love for her.

I always thought that I must find a good marriage for her so that she could live a happy and comfortable life, instead of becoming a puppet in the hands of her family like the daughters of the third and fifth rooms.

Neither Qi Niang nor Si Niang appeared in this farce.

Si Niang didn't go because she was heartbroken and didn't care at all where her family arranged for her.

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

Qi Niang did not go, simply because she was taking care of the sick Madam Guo.
