My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything, just wait and see how Mrs. Wei and Aunt Jiao frame the fault on the third room."

Mrs. Xing frowned and looked at the couple in front of her. One was calm and the other was calm.

It's really a bit confusing.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi explained.

"Mrs. Wei is reluctant to hand over Nanny Jiao to take the blame, so she naturally has to find a scapegoat. The people in Dongyuan have the general, so she can't do anything easily. She just wants to find someone to pour some dirty water on the general."

"But the people in Sanfang are different. They have no power to rely on, and they have enough reasons to pay for murder, such as to stay! Or they want to replace them."

I have to say that Du Jingyi's brain is really easy to use.

Although he was not at the scene, he knew exactly what Grandma Jiao and Mrs. Wei were thinking.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xing thought about it carefully, and then suddenly realized it.

"So what you said just now is just to let them harm the third room by talking about gods and ghosts?"

"When I got married, I noticed that the people in the third room, especially the third uncle and the third uncle, always had a strong smell of incense. It was obvious that they liked to burn incense and worship Buddha, and they believed in the things of gods and ghosts. of."

"I know, and Mrs. Wei must also know."

Mrs. Xing nodded from time to time, and also praised Du Jingyi's careful observation.

"Today my father-in-law was assassinated, and the assassin fell into the hands of the general. Mrs. Wei and Aunt Jiao must be very anxious. The more this happens, the easier it is for them to do cruel things, so even if the third wife doesn't die this time, she has to skin her. "

"I guess they will blame this matter on a certain mother in the third room, saying that she got the instructions from the third uncle's grandfather to hire a murderer. Just watch, there will be trouble near the woodshed."

After listening to Du Jingyi's explanation, Mrs. Xing and Xing Zhao finally understood.

Especially Xing Zhao, he said with two clicks of his tongue.

"Sister-in-law, you are so good at learning how to leverage your own strength! If you serve in the army, you must be an unparalleled strategist!"

Shang Ji also laughed, obviously he recognized Xing Zhao's words.

Mrs. Xing asked a lot.

"When will the Duke wake up?"

"Only three or two days, my father's injury is not serious."

Although the Grand Duke Shang Yukuan had some hardships when he was young, he grew up in the fields.

But so many years of wealth have long made him forget the hardships of those years.

I'm afraid that after this assassination, people will change.

But Dongyuan's life over the years has not been much better than this, so Shang Ji feels that this is what he deserves.

Mrs. Xing also said happily.

"You deserve it. For so many years, he has been the only one in this house pretending to be deaf and mute. He really thought that if the matter could not be blamed on him, it would have nothing to do with him."

Mrs. Xing was completely dissatisfied with this cousin-in-law.

If she hadn't been concerned about the people in Dongyuan, she would have cut off all contact with the Duke's Mansion long ago.

I don't have to watch them outside every day, acting out some good drama about the deep love between husband and wife.

The assassination of the Duke of Guo finally alarmed the people in the palace.

The emperor immediately stated that he wanted to conduct a thorough investigation, so he asked people from the Ministry of Punishment to take over the interrogation of the assassin.

As expected, the efficiency of the Criminal Department has increased this time.

However, the investigation was almost completed in three days, and the target was pointed at the Duke's Mansion.

As a result, Emperor Long Yan was furious and began to send people to search the Duke's mansion.

By coincidence, the person who came was none other than Mrs. Wei's brother, Wei Mingxian, the deputy commander of the Gyeonggi Division.

As soon as he arrived, he started searching yard after yard.

In order to ensure his fairness, he deliberately started from the girl's Yunjinyuan.

"Forgive me, madam. I am conducting a thorough investigation of the Duke's mansion according to your majesty's order, so I will be doing some serious digging today."

Mrs. Wei has been frightened and exhausted these days. Naturally, her face is not very good, but she speaks with great understanding and righteousness.

"My lord, you can just search at will. I also want to know who is so cheating and dares to buy the murder master! If found out, he must die!"

Wei Mingxian raised his eyes and glanced at his sister, feeling a little admired in his heart.

If I hadn't known the truth in advance, I might have been tricked by her.

"Okay, let's start searching."

"yes."

Those who came today were all soldiers from the Gyeonggi Division, and they were also Wei Mingxian's confidants.

Although he felt that the girl was using this trick too faintly, he had no choice but to help cover it up for the sake of the Wei family and her status in the Duke's Mansion.

After taking a look at Mrs. Wei, I saw that she looked calm, but more filled with righteous indignation, so I knew that the arrangements must be in place.

Therefore, the men searched even more unscrupulously.

Not only the master's house, but also the servants below were spared.

As the most capable person around Mrs. Wei, Aunt Jiao naturally wanted to conduct a detailed search.

Grandma Jiao has been "seriously ill" these past few days, so she lies in bed unable to move.

His complexion was sallow, his eyes were weak, and his whole body was severely swollen. He was completely different from before.

The soldiers came in and searched around without showing any fear, but they really didn't find anything.

Seeing that no abnormality was found in Yunjin Courtyard after a thorough search, the Gyeonggi Division personnel stopped.

"Madam, it's safe here. Let's move to another place and go."

"yes."

After checking Yunjinyuan, we checked Xiyuan. Xiyuan is now occupied by Shang Shilang's family and Shang Qilang's empty room, so it is not difficult to search.

There is nothing special about Xiyuan. After checking it, I went straight to Dongyuan.

All the servants in the Duke's mansion were detained together, and everyone was in a state of panic.

But there was no other way but to kneel down and listen to the news.

Because Shang Ji was here, they didn't dare to make mistakes.

Moreover, in Dongyuan, there is a smell of medicine when you look at this, and there is a room full of patients when you look at that.

Not to mention the searching soldiers, even Wei Mingxian felt very unlucky standing on this boundary.

I was afraid that I would bring this illness with me.

So, after the soldiers hurriedly searched, they said to Shang Ji.

"You have offended the general, let's go!"

The two of them didn't have much interaction. If the Gu family and the Wei family weren't at odds with each other, there might still be some feelings of pity for the generals.

Now, it’s just a matter of marriage.

Du Jingyi calmed down after watching Wei Mingxian lead people away.

"It looks pretty good. I guess the third room won't be able to escape this time."

Shang Ji looked coldly in the direction of Beiyuan, not caring what their outcome would be.

To put it bluntly, if they had consciously moved out of the Duke's Mansion, they would not have gotten into this kind of trouble.

Now if you want to blame, blame yourself for being greedy and incompetent.
