Chapter 582: Mutual Testing



A group of people were talking as they walked inside.

Once we got to the corridor, it was naturally not so hot anymore, Aunt Xing took a deep breath and said.

"These days, there has been a lot of noise outside because of the master's transfer to the Ministry of War. If we hold a grand wedding for Zhao'er at this time, I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome. So I have a headache these two days and don't know what to do."

Aunt Xing's concerns were not false. Even the women in the backyard who didn't like to go out, like Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaochun, had heard about this matter, let alone Aunt Xing who was in the vortex.

The Xing family and the Yan family are now the two most powerful families in the emperor's harem. If they start to make trouble, it will naturally cause an uproar in the outside world.

During the spring beauty pageant, the Queen's lineage stole the limelight, and then the Xing family's transfer order brought many benefits to the family. But now, if we have to talk about who has gained the most, it has to be the Dingping Marquis's Mansion and Concubine Jia.

Therefore, Du Jingyi could only speak out to comfort her.

"Don't worry, aunt. The excitement in Sui'an City will last for a month at most. There are so many powerful nobles and relatives, and every family has some stories circulating outside. So when cousin Dong Rizhao and Xia Meng come back, this matter will have been exposed. We will do what we should do about the marriage. We can't let them suffer because of the rumors outside."

After hearing this, Aunt Xing's mind calmed down a lot, and then she nodded to Du Jingyi and said.

"You have a point. Although we live behind closed doors, if this marriage doesn't go well, who knows what people outside will say about me, the future daughter-in-law."

Many families in Sui'an City had heard about the Xing family's wedding, but Xia Meng had never appeared at any family's table, so they were very curious.

I originally wanted to ask around, but couldn't find him. I heard that he went to Quanzhou with the Du family's caravan. Such news must have been spread by those gossipy women.

Therefore, Aunt Xing had naturally heard about it, so she wanted to publicize the marriage so that people outside would know that her family liked this daughter-in-law very much! As they talked, they walked back to their respective courtyards.

Du Jingyi had just entered Xitang Courtyard and was about to sit down with a bowl of iced yogurt to cool down when he felt a gust of wind blowing in.

Sure enough, Liu Xun appeared again without anyone noticing. Seeing this, Yingtao went out to guard the door to prevent outsiders from knowing what was happening inside.

Seeing him coming, Du Jingyi was not surprised and asked a question immediately.

"Did you find out?"

"Madam, don't worry. We have found out that the Dingping Marquis's Mansion has indeed captured Mrs. Pei (Wu Lang's wife) from the Fifth House. Now that the interrogation is over, they are waiting for an opportunity to use the Fifth House's affairs to pin it on us."

After Liu Xun came back from Wangzhou, he had been making secret visits outside, and he really managed to uncover these conspiracies. For this, he was somewhat impressed by his general and his wife. It turned out that there were two different kinds of people sleeping in the same bed, both of them were alert.

Du Jingyi was not surprised to hear Liu Xun's answer.

The reason why she let Wulang's wife go was purely out of her motherly love. After all, the child was innocent, so since she was willing to make these reports for the child, Du Jingyi could also give her a way out for the child.

But this way of life, once given, will never be given a second time.

If the fifth sister-in-law really listened to what the Dingping Marquis' Mansion said and turned against her, she would not just sit there and wait, so after thinking about it, she said to Liu Xun.

"Give some clues to this matter to Prime Minister Xing, and let him investigate slowly. The Dingping Marquis' Mansion has not yet finished plotting against them behind the scenes. If our General's Mansion is involved, I guess Prime Minister Xing has many ways to throw the dirty water back at the Dingping Marquis' Mansion."

The most important thing is that their General’s Mansion is still as “innocent” as ever and will not be involved in these disputes.

"Yes, ma'am."

Liu Xun has his own way, so after a few days, Prime Minister Xing heard some rumors that the Dingping Marquis' Mansion had gathered people to deal with the General's Mansion.

In the Xing family's study, Prime Minister Xing looked at the news and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if wondering how much this would help them escape from the current crisis.

The people standing in the study were the ministers he had won over. After hearing the news, they couldn't help but speak out.

"In my opinion, let the Marquis of Dingping make a fuss about this matter. Then we can unite with the General's Mansion and give him a reputation of excluding dissidents, which will also help win over the General's Mansion."

Listening to the words of the person in front of him, Xing Xiang also felt that there was some truth in it.

However, his vigilance as an official for many years made him feel that this matter was not simple. He didn't know whether it was a trap set up deliberately by the Dingping Marquis Mansion, so it was better to be careful.

Thinking of this, he said to the person in front of him.

"Let's prepare for both situations. If the Dingping Marquis' Mansion is determined to use this matter to deal with the General's Mansion, then we must not let them succeed."

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

"What is the Prime Minister going to do?"

"Let Madam take the lead and pass the message to Madam Gu. I want to see how she will act before making other plans."

"yes."

So, a few days later, when Du Jingyi saw Madam Xing, whom he rarely saw, he had something in mind.

It seems that this thorny problem has not been kicked out. After a lot of trouble, it comes back to her. However, she still has to pretend to be calm and ignorant, and asked Madam Xing and Aunt Xing who both have serious faces.

"What's wrong? Madam doesn't look very well. Maybe she's been irritated by the heat. Do you need a doctor to see her?"

Aunt Xing had already learned about the intentions of the Dingping Marquis' Mansion from the eldest lady, so she acted as the middleman and brought her eldest sister-in-law to meet Du Jingyi. So when she saw that she still looked clueless, she spoke hurriedly.

"It's all my fault. The Dingping Marquis's Mansion was dealing with the Xing family, and he even targeted your General's Mansion. Now that he has taken Wu Lang's wife, he wants to throw dirty water on you."

"What do you mean? What does he want to do?"

Seeing that Du Jingyi was still calm, Madam Xing didn't care about anything else and hurriedly told him everything the master had instructed her to do.

"The people of the Fifth House died tragically, and now Lord Jia has taken Wu Lang's wife, and is about to accuse the General's Mansion of this. When the master hears this news, he will be very indignant, so he hurriedly asked me to send the news to you. Do you want to write a letter to tell Shao Yu about this?"
