But if they really join forces with the Xing family this time, then the Earl's Mansion will probably classify their family into the enemy camp. At that time, even if the General's Mansion does not want to take sides, it will not be able to do so.

They were all people who were used to using tricks in the past and the backyard, so naturally they understood each other's intentions.

Mrs. Xing said what needed to be said, sat for a while, and then left.

After she left, Aunt Xing said with a guilty look on her face.

"It's all my fault. I was so foolish as to bring my eldest sister-in-law home. Now you and your wife are in a difficult situation. Seeing that my third cousin's wife and Lang'er are also coming back, isn't this making life difficult for them?"

"Aunt, don't take everything on yourself. Both the Xing Family and the Yan Family want to recruit the General's Mansion. This is not an idea that they just came up with today. If not for this, the General would not have used the matter of Wangzhou's military training to leave this fight."

"So what are you going to do next?"

"I just said that. Go write to the general and ask him. I will copy his reply and give the same reply to Prime Minister Xing."

Du Jingyi seemed very confident, but Aunt Xing was more worried. Seeing this, Du Jingyi gave another explanation.

"Of course, this message must be delivered in a covert manner, so it will take at least two months to go back and forth. By that time, the people in Dingping Marquis's Mansion will not be able to hold Fifth Sister-in-law hostage."

Her words successfully made Aunt Xing relax a little.

Although Wu Lang's wife is a bit pitiful, who made her become someone else's pawn? So thinking of this, Aunt Xing would not say a word to plead for her, but instead said.

"Aunt, I have some connections in Sui'an City. Do you need my help?"

"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it, aunt. I can handle it. You can just focus on arranging the marriage between cousin Zhao and Xia Meng."

The two of them were talking calmly, but what they were talking about was a life! The Dingping Marquis Mansion would never have thought that the wife of Wu Lang, whom they had been looking for for so long, would suddenly die overnight in the middle of summer. They were immediately alarmed, wondering if there was a spy around, or if she was discovered and secretly eliminated.

Therefore, a reliable doctor was specially found to examine the body of Wulang's wife.

As a result, after checking left and right, they came to only one conclusion, that is, she was indeed unable to bear the scorching heat, and suddenly had heart palpitations and fainted, and no one else found her, so she was dead, and there was not even a chance for rescue or struggle.

Looking at the useless corpse, Marquis Dingping's face looked very ugly.

"This whole family is full of useless people. Humph, just roll them up with mats and throw them out, so as not to dirty the courtyard of my Dingping Marquis's mansion."

"Yes, sir."

However, the child who was crying bitterly in the same room with her was quite an eyesore to Marquis Dingping at the moment, so he looked at the housekeeper, and his meaning was obvious.

The whole family is dead, and the child will live a hard life if he is left in the world. It would be better for him to go to the underworld and reunite with his family, so he will be dealt with together.

So the child was also knocked unconscious, placed on his mother, and wrapped up with a mat. They were quietly taken to a mass grave outside the city, where he was told to die.

Late at night, some stealthy figures appeared in the mass grave.

There were three people in their group, all wrapped in black clothes and black faces, leaving only a pair of eyes. Seeing that there was no one around, they opened the rough mat and saw Wulang's wife and her son lying together.

"The adult is dead, but the child is still breathing. However, the stick was quite harsh, and it hit the back of the head, so the chances of reviving him are low."

One person made a quick diagnosis and then spoke to the leader.

Liu Xun, with his face covered by a black scarf, took a look and found that the child of a few years old was indeed innocent. Moreover, when he came, the general's wife had instructed that if the child was still alive, they should find a way to send him away and find an honest family to take him in.

It's not to the point of killing them all, at least it can be considered as leaving a descendant for the fifth room.

So after Liu Xun confirmed that the fifth young lady was dead, he asked the other two to start setting up the plan, while he fed the child a life-saving pill and then said.

"Make it more realistic so that no one can tell that we have taken the child away."

"Yes, sir."

Liu Xun took the child and left quietly. The two people who stayed behind decorated the place and then left.

After a few days, this place was gnawed and torn into pieces by wild dogs. Originally, this was a mother and child who were not valued by people, so no matter how tragic their death was, no one cared.

After hearing his men describe exactly what happened to the fifth young lady, even Prime Minister Xing's breathing became heavier.

I never knew that Mrs. Gu Shaoyu was such a capable person.

Before she could even take any action, the most crucial witness was dead. This not only solved the plot of the Dingping Marquis' Mansion to assassinate the General's Mansion, but also indirectly rejected the Xing family's invitation.

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

He was really ruthless in his action, so he asked someone to call his wife and told her the news.

It would be a lie for Madam Xing to say that her hands were not stained with blood in the backyard, but compared with Du Jingyi, she felt that she was still a small fry.

"Look carefully at this little woman. She seems to be silent, but she is more ruthless than me. She is indeed a military officer's family member. She killed another person with a single blow of her sword."

The Dingping Marquis' Mansion did not know that this was Du Jingyi's doing because they were not aware that their plan had been known in advance by the General's Mansion and the Xing Family. And Prime Minister Xing was so sure that it was Du Jingyi's doing because of the words that his wife brought back from the General's Mansion.

The people of the fifth room eventually paid the price with blood for their past actions.

Xing Xiang didn't feel sorry for them, but it was indeed an unexpected gain that he got to know Du Jingyi better through this incident.

"Master, rest assured. I will pay more attention to it in the future."

"By the way, Third Brother's affairs in Jinling City have almost been handed over. I specifically asked him about it and he said that he will be able to arrive in Sui'an City by the end of August. We still have to clean up the yard at home. Whether they come to live here or not is their business. Whether we accept them or not is our courtesy."

"I understand. I'll arrange it right away."

From then on, the matter of the fifth house of the merchant had a chance to bubble up, but it was strangled by Du Jingyi before the flames started.

As for the others, including the eldest sister-in-law Liu, Ping'er and Xuenniang, they all had no idea what had happened and were happily enjoying the summer, sometimes going boating, sometimes worshiping Buddha, it was really lively.

At the end of July, the He family moved into a new house.

I invited everyone I knew in Sui'an City to come and warm up together. (End of this chapter)
