MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 144 Being wronged

Chapter 144: Being wronged

Shang Ji is not a soft-hearted person, so after taking a sip of the tea at hand, he spoke.

"Xue Niang's letter to my grandmother has been answered. She said she would go north, so I told cousin Zhao yesterday and asked him to take Ping'er with him."

Du Jingyi has been "recuperating" these days, so he has not had the opportunity to meet and talk to his sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, my husband was very quick and got the work done in a hurry, so he asked curiously.

“Sister-in-law agreed so quickly?”

“Maybe she also noticed that we were going to deal with the neighboring courtyard. It’s not safe to stay in Sui’an City, so it’s better to leave.”

Du Jingyi also thinks this makes sense.

 In the past, there was no condition to send him away, but now it is just a matter of following Xing Zhao.

　　I will be back in a month at most, so my sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, really doesn’t object much, but actually thinks it is a good thing.

 So, "seriously ill" was returned to "seriously ill", so I packed my son's luggage.

 Those things were all given away a few days ago through the moving process.

At that time, Shang Zhiping only needs to follow Xing Zhao in one piece.

The two of them talked for a while about this matter, and not long after, Butler He hurried in with a hurried look on his face.

“General, Madam, something happened in Baotaoyuan.”

 “Oh? What did you find?”

Steward He looked at Shang Ji seriously and replied.

"Many witchcraft dolls were found from the third old master's house, including those of the Duke of Guo, those of our Dongyuan, and those of Yunjinyuan and Xiyuan. In short, we basically have one for all the masters with names. "

Du Jingyi raised his eyebrows and glanced at his husband, but didn't say much.

Mrs. Wei is good at diverting trouble, and it seems that she also wants to kill the people in the third room with a stick.

 “What about the others? Are there any?”

“There are two thousand five hundred taels of unidentified banknotes in the second young lady’s room.”

Du Jingyi knows this money.

That was what Shang Liu Niang sent to Sanfang when she came last time to buy a dowry for Shang Si Niang.

Have you only spent 500 taels now?

Their family really only cares about their own life and death.

Shang Liuniang deducted some, and Erlang’s wife deducted some. In the end, Shang Siniang, who was really going to endure hardship, only got a fraction.

　　It makes me feel pitiful just thinking about it.

 “What did she say?”

“He was hemming and hawing. The old slave didn’t give an accurate answer before he came.”

Then Butler He seemed to have remembered something and added.

“The third young master cursed a few times, but he didn’t specifically point it out.”

 Apparently, everyone in the third room knew that Erlang’s wife was tampering with him.

It’s true that even if a disaster comes, it’s already a mess inside.

 “What do the people from the Gyeonggi Division say?”

“It is said that the old servant who bribed the killer has been found, which is Mother Qin next to the Second Young Madam.”

 Mother Qin?

Du Jingyi has some impression of her.

However, both her body shape and age were similar to what the assassin said. No wonder Mrs. Wei would use her as a scapegoat.

 “How is the deputy commander determined?”

"Mother Qin made an excuse to go to the firewood shed and looked around for a long time. If it weren't for the tight guarding by our Dongyuan people, she would have been silenced long ago, and there would be no chance of a counterattack."

 Purchase murder, unknown money, witchcraft dolls.

Mrs. Wei's trick is cliché, but it is very useful.

Especially because the person who came here was her brother, who was naturally a gangster. With such a series of designs, there was no chance for the third room to stand up. Du Jingyi looked outside calmly, and then said to Shang Ji.

"The fire is burning so fiercely. Let's help a little more so that Mrs. Wei doesn't have to live too comfortably."

 Shang Ji had a flash of fierceness in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

 Then, a few of the dead branches outside were broken by the sound of wind and snow.

 When it fell to the ground, it looked like the three-room man who was struggling on the ground just now.

 In Baotaoyuan, the cries were louder than the others.

 Everyone is confused about the third old man now. When did he actually have these things hidden in his room?

Isn't this an obvious frame-up? Suddenly he started to curse.

"Who is this shameless person who dares to do this to me! We are all relatives in the same house, why should I do this and curse them!"

It’s a pity that the person standing in front of him now is not a relative of the Duke’s Mansion.

 It is Wei Mingxian.

So he looked over coldly and saw two or three soldiers coming up and slapping him several times. The slaps made the third old man dizzy and his face still hurt.

 “If you dare to talk nonsense in front of adults, you should be slapped ten times as a warning to others.”

Last time, they were dragged back to Baotaoyuan by Shang Ji's people. Although they looked a little uglier, they were not really hurt in the end.

 But now, the third old man’s serious injury made everyone in the third house afraid.

 They are not from the Duke's office, they just don't know how to be polite.

So, everyone hid like a coward, and no one could stand up for the three old masters.

　　Erlang’s wife, who is usually the sharpest talker, is also crying out for injustice at this moment.

Mother Qin next to her clearly did nothing, so how could she be accused of paying for the murder of the master?

 Besides, if the Duke of Guo dies, what good will it do to them?

 So even though the person was tied up, he was still crying and shouting.

“It’s unjust, it’s unjust, sir, you need to be aware of everything. Mother Qin has never done anything, how could she buy the murder of my uncle!”

“She hasn’t done it, could it be that you have done it?”

Wei Mingxian doesn't care about this. He can crucify anyone.

 The people involved on the left and right were all people from the third room, so the one with a fierce look on his face said.

"I think she is the most suspicious, so I took her away with the old slave and the three old masters. Please go to the Gyeonggi Department and explain where these things come from!"

 After saying this, he glanced at his men.

Erlang’s wife, Qin’s mother, and the third old man were all **** and taken away directly.

 In the process, it’s not like they didn’t struggle.

 It is useless to struggle.

 Without the support of the government, they are just civilians.

As the saying goes, the people will not fight with the officials, let alone the officials who want to put them to death.

"take away!"

　　　People from the Gyeonggi Division come and go in a hurry, and they return home with a full load.

 When they left, many people gathered at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, all coming to join in the fun.

Seeing that someone was really being taken out, they rushed forward one by one, muttering something in their mouths.

“No, is there really a ghost?”

 “I think he is from the third bedroom.”

"how do you know?"

“The old one is the third old man in the Duke’s Mansion. He used to come to our teahouse to drink tea!”

 Hearing the man's explanation, everyone jumped out and began to make various explanations.

The three people who were taken away had rags stuffed in their mouths. They also wanted to defend themselves, but it was of no use.

The people from the Gyeonggi Division walked away, leaving a mess behind.
