Mrs. Xing's performance was sincere and heartfelt, but unfortunately Du Jingyi was unmoved. She then glanced at Aunt Xing who was also anxious, and spoke to comfort her.

"Aunt, don't take everything on yourself. This matter is originally a dispute between my General's Mansion and the Fifth House, so it has nothing to do with the Xing family. The people from Dingping Marquis' Mansion arrested the Fifth Sister-in-law and wanted to throw dirty water on me. To be honest, this may not be dirty water."

"What do you mean?"

"Because it was indeed me who caused the annihilation of the entire fifth family."

After hearing this, the two sisters-in-law of the Xing family were so surprised that they couldn't say anything. They looked at Du Jingyi with complicated expressions.

She was obviously a delicate and weak person, but how could she be so cruel when she spoke and threaten to kill someone's whole family at any time? They were still a little scared when they heard her.

Madam Xing tried to hide her surprise by drinking tea, but Aunt Xing didn't care about that. She took Du Jingyi's hand and asked anxiously.

"Why? Why would you send their whole family to die? Did they do something bad that forced you to do it?"

When Du Jingyi heard this, she felt warm in her heart. At least now she knew that Aunt Xing was trying to save face for her. If they had done something unpopular, then it was natural to punish them.

So she also pulled her aunt's hand and spoke comfortingly.

"The people in the fifth house have evil intentions. Aunt, do you still remember the death of your mother-in-law? They are the ones who are secretly helping the tyrant to commit atrocities!"

Hearing this, not only Aunt Xing, but even Madam Xing was a little stunned.

Everyone in Jinling City knew that the young lady from the Gu family who married into the Duke's Mansion was treated like a noblewoman in her natal family, but after she left home, she suffered more grievances.

"Didn't my cousin die because she was sick and angry? How did it have anything to do with the people in the fifth room? Tell me, what does it mean?"

Aunt Xing's eagerness made Du Jingyi feel that the Gu family was indeed a group of good sisters who loved each other, so she stopped talking nonsense and told him everything that Wulang's wife had said before, and how she dealt with the fifth room.

The summer heat outside still made people sweat, but the two sisters-in-law of the Xing family in the house felt chilled to the bone.

Although Madam Xing and Madam Gu did not have much contact, she was still very sad when she heard that the mistress of the house was persecuted to such an extent and died with her eyes open, so she said something sincerely at this moment.

"Well done! If these people hadn't concealed the truth, the younger sister of the Gu family wouldn't have died tragically at home and her position wouldn't have been taken away by her enemies. The people of your lineage also suffered a lot of injustices, so the people of the fifth house really deserved to die!"

Even when Madam Xing spoke like this, Aunt Xing jumped up and started cursing.

"It's too easy for them to die like this. In my opinion, you should expose this matter and let them suffer the pain of slow slicing. This will be considered revenge for your cousin!"

Hearing her words, Madam Xing couldn't help but cough twice and said with a reminder.

"Third brother's wife is talking nonsense. How can the death by slicing be used as a private punishment in our family? Your Majesty has never used this extreme punishment in all these years of ruling."

Du Jingyi also knew that Aunt Xing's outburst was a bit too much, so he quickly added according to her temper.

"I know that my aunt said this because she felt sorry for my mother-in-law who had suffered for so many years, but the eldest lady is right. Our dynasty has always been benevolent and righteous. There are some things that cannot be said casually."

Aunt Xing also realized that she had said something inappropriate, but no one was present, so she was silent for a while before speaking.

"It is hard to escape the blame for this crime. The people of the Fifth House deserve to die. The Dingping Marquis's Mansion is trying to use this as an excuse. It is simply abominable. Sister-in-law, you must have said this today because of my brother's instructions. To be frank, what do you want, brother?"

After coming out of her anger, Aunt Xing quickly told Madam Xing what she intended. In contrast, Madam Xing's mood did not change as quickly as Aunt Xing did.

But since she had been pointed out, anything else she said would be false. So she glanced at Du Jingyi, and seeing that she was also very calm and seemed to be waiting for instructions, she also spoke.

"A few days ago, the master and I suffered a lot of grievances. We thought it was caused by Lord Yan of the Earl's Mansion, but in the end we found out that it was the Dingping Marquis' Mansion. They played our two families in the palm of their hands. Isn't it just to pave the way for the noble concubine Jia in the palace? Seeing that her favor is getting better and better day by day, for the sake of the imperial concubine and the seventh prince, my Xing family will naturally do something. I am not afraid to let you know, Madam Gu, if we join forces, the Dingping Marquis' Mansion will definitely be in trouble."

Her initiative made Du Jingyi quickly understand that Prime Minister Xing was indeed a smart man.

After being cheated once, I will never be used as a target by others again.

He can take action, but the General's Mansion cannot hope to escape, and Madam Xing made everything clear on this trip today, just to drag the General's Mansion into the water.

There is no point in letting the Xing family take the lead in dealing with the affairs of the General's Mansion, so naturally the Xing family will get what they want.

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

For example, the support of the General's Mansion, or something else.

Seeing this, Aunt Xing was not stupid, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Du Jingyi became much more complicated.

As the daughter-in-law of the Xing family, she should have been more on the side of the Xing family, but for so many years, the couple had been "hiding" in Jinling City and did not want to get involved too much.

But things have come to this point today, and it seems that we have no choice but to move forward.

Therefore, he looked at Du Jingyi calmly. Although he did not say anything, his meaning was very clear. If the General's Mansion really wanted to stand on the side of the Xing family, then they would naturally be on the same side as well.

"I am a woman, and although I seem to be the master of the house in the general's mansion, that is because the general is not here. If I agree to the eldest lady's request now, I am afraid that the general will blame me when he finds out. So, as for your question today, I can only write to the general to ask him. Once he gives me an explanation, I will naturally reply to you. What do you think?"

Before Mrs. Xing came, she didn't expect Du Jingyi to agree right away, but with this tone, it was at least much better than before, so she nodded in agreement.

"The master said that he would not make things difficult for the General's Mansion. They are all our relatives. We can talk about future matters later. Let's just do the things at hand well!"

After hearing this, Du Jingyi finally understood that Xing Xiang was indeed a thoughtful person. He was just saying nice things now, but he would talk about it later. (End of this chapter)
