MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 141 Two confrontations

Chapter 141 Two Confrontations

 The words "the person who paid for the murder" almost stuck on her head.

Mrs. Wei glanced at Nanny Jiao and saw that her secret would be revealed if she stayed any longer, so she pretended to be concerned and said.

"I told you to rest but you didn't rest. I've had several fevers these days and you're still holding on. Come down quickly, lest outsiders see it and say that our government treats our servants harshly."

Mother Jiao naturally understood what Mrs. Wei meant, so she spoke in a deep voice.

 “Thank you, Madam, for your consideration.”

After saying that, he blessed everyone and left quickly.

When leaving, I don’t know if Du Jingyi mentioned it deliberately.

“Everyone in Dongyuan has fallen ill. Could it be that something dirty has entered the Duke’s mansion?”

Her opening made Grandma Jiao seem to think of something, but in order to prevent herself from being recognized, she still lowered her head and bent her body and retreated.

 In the hall, everyone's eyes were fixed on the man on the ground. Although Mrs. Wei knew everything behind it, she would never allow herself to show her cowardice at this moment.

So he thought deeply and said to the commander.

"I really thank the commander for being saved. Now the house is still in a mess. I will have someone send a thank you gift to the door tomorrow to thank the commander for the rescue."

The commander received a life-saving friendship in vain, and he was also happy in his heart.

Of course he didn’t say anything more, so after clasping his fists in greeting, he took the people away.

 After he and all the people from the Gyeonggi Division left, the entire Yunjin Courtyard returned to its former peace.

Mrs. Wei then looked at Mrs. Xing and said with a smile.

 “There are chores to deal with at home, please ask Mrs. Xing to stay away.”

"Hey, I have only been in power for a few days, and you don't want to recognize me as a relative of the Gu family? After all, the Duke of Guo is also my cousin-in-law. It is not wrong for me to care about such a major event as an assassination."

"That's true, but after all, it's the merchants who have to deal with it behind closed doors. Mrs. Xing should give in."

Mrs. Wei has been in the back house for many years, and she always hides everything she says.

 A businessman separated Mrs. Xing from the room. It seemed inappropriate for her to stay any longer.

It was Du Jingyi who came out to smooth things over.

“My sister-in-law and my eighth sister are sick and have been thinking about my aunt these days. Why don’t you go and see them? Maybe they will get better quickly.”

Mrs. Xing thought about it and decided it was not good to stay any longer.

 “Okay, then I’ll go take a look at the two of them.”

 After saying this, Mrs. Xing left Yunjin Courtyard with her son Xing Zhao.

Now in the house, apart from some servants, there are only four serious masters.

 Mrs. Wei and Shang Silang, Du Jingyi and Shang Ji.

 From the very beginning, there were two opposing sides in the Duke's Mansion, but sometimes the east wind prevailed over the west wind, and sometimes the west wind overcame the east wind.

 It is rare for a confrontation like today to occur without anyone else present.

Mrs. Wei wanted to fight quickly, but Shang Ji wanted to knock the mountain to shake the tiger.

　　I asked the man, with a very indifferent tone.

“Do you want to recruit it yourself? Or do you want me to do it?”

That person has naturally heard of Shang Ji's name, but hearing it is completely different from seeing it and experiencing it personally.

 So, he is still pretending to be a tough-talking person here.

Shang Ji waved his hand without even raising his eyelids. Luo Yuan stepped forward and broke his right leg with a click.

The man screamed in pain, and big beads of sweat rolled down his face.

However, there was still a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth, so he couldn't even scream.

 “What now? Do you want to recruit yourself? Or continue to do it?”

His voice was like a demon from hell, with a chill in every word he uttered.

The man nodded like crazy, his meaning was very clear.

Luo Yuan stepped forward and took the cloth from his mouth, and threatened in a low voice. "Don't even think about committing suicide. I have ten thousand ways to make it impossible for you to die even if you want to."

 Severe pain, threatening words.

He seemed to be slapping the assassin, but in fact he was also talking to Mrs. Wei and Shang Shilang.

 Shang Shilang was stupid and didn't know the meaning.

Just looking at Luo Yuan with great fear, it was the first time that he felt that this man was really cruel when he moved his hands.

The handkerchief in Mrs. Wei's hand was about to be torn, and she clenched her fists, regretting this ridiculous decision very much.

He can be so ruthless against assassins. What should he do if he knows that the person behind the murder is himself?

 Without swallowing any more saliva, I heard the man wailing in pain.

 “I’ll recruit! I’ll recruit!”

"explain!"

"It was a woman who was neither fat nor thin who gave me money to shoot an arrow at the man in the carriage. If I knew that he was the Duke of the Duke's Mansion, I would not dare to accept this order even if I were killed. "

The assassin thought it was just an ordinary revenge plot, and the other party had repeatedly told him not to harm his life, so he accepted it.

Who knew it was the Duke of the country? !

 He was deeply regretful at this moment.

 “Are you neither fat nor thin? What’s your age? Or do you remember your appearance?”

Du Jingyi asked appropriately.

 But every time she said another word, Mrs. Wei was frightened, always feeling that she meant something.

“He looked like he was in his forties. When he saw me, I couldn’t see his face clearly even through the screen.”

 While speaking, he gasped.

The pain of a broken leg is really unbearable for ordinary people.

"The master has always been a kind-hearted man and rarely made grudges with others. He is in his forties and still has money to pay for murders? I wonder if it is from an ordinary family. Could it be that someone from some family has a grudge against Liulang and cannot deal with you? Is this why you attacked the master?"

Mrs. Wei opened her mouth and wanted to turn the situation around.

 There is nothing easy about assassinating the Duke of Guo, but Shang Ji is different.

Who is not jealous, who is not jealous.

Perhaps someone was trying to harm him, so he attacked the Duke. After all, it is not impossible for a son to repay his debt to his father.

As soon as Shang Shilang heard this, he felt that it made sense and immediately agreed.

“What mother said is that it seems that father really suffered a terrible disaster because of his sixth brother.”

 Hearing him speak, Du Jingyi smiled.

She didn't know Shang Silang's stupidity before, but now that she sees this comparison in front of her, she really feels that the Wei family is terrible.

 Same father, different mother.

 My husband is able to fight in all directions, kill decisively, and handle family affairs at home, neatly and neatly.

Shang Shilang was led astray in just a few words without even realizing it.

It’s really ridiculous.

Seeing her chuckle, Mrs. Wei immediately became unhappy.

 After all, Shang Shilang is also her son, so he is naturally not happy to be looked down upon.

 So the one who scolded him replied.

“Didn’t the Du family teach you any rules? What do you mean by laughing?”

Du Jingyi was so robbed that he immediately responded.

"Fourth brother is already in his thirties after all, and he is like the wind and the rain. You just said a few words and it was just a guess. He was good, and he just blamed the matter on the general. Those who don’t know may think this is the truth! I laugh at him for not being smart enough!”
