Chapter 141 Two Confrontations

The words "the murderer" were almost written on her head.

Madam Wei glanced at Madam Jiao, and seeing that she would be exposed if she stayed any longer, she pretended to be concerned and said.

"I told you to rest but you didn't. You've had a fever several times these days, but you're still holding on. Go down quickly, or else outsiders will say that we treat our servants harshly."

Madam Jiao naturally understood what Madam Wei meant, so she said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Madam, for your consideration."

After that, she bowed to everyone and left quickly.

When she left, I don't know if Du Jingyi mentioned it deliberately.

"Everyone in our Dongyuan is also sick. Could it be that something dirty has entered the Duke's Mansion?"

When she spoke, Madam Jiao seemed to have thought of something in her mind, 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 Madam Wei knew everything behind the scenes, she would never allow herself to show her weakness at this moment.

So she thought for a while and said to the commander.

"Thank you very much for saving the master. Now the house is still in a mess. I will send a thank-you gift to the commander tomorrow to thank you for saving him."

The commander was happy to get a life-saving friendship for nothing.

Naturally, he didn't say much, so he clasped his fists and took people away.

After he and a group of people from the Jingji Division left, the entire Yunjin Courtyard returned to its former tranquility.

Madam Wei then looked at Madam Xing and said with a fake smile.

"There are some chores to deal with at home, please ask Madam Xing to stay away."

"Oh, you just took office for a few days, and you don't want to recognize my relatives in the Gu family? After all, the Duke is my cousin's husband. It's not wrong for me to care about such a big thing as being assassinated."

"That's right, but after all, it's the merchant who wants to deal with it behind closed doors. Madam Xing should give in."

Madam Wei has been in the back house for many years, and whatever she says is a needle in her mouth.

A merchant has isolated Madam Xing, and it seems inappropriate for her to stay.

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

"The eldest sister-in-law and the eighth sister have been sick for these days and have been thinking about their aunt. Why don't you go and see them? Maybe they can get better faster."

Madam Xing thought about it and didn't want to stay any longer.

"Okay, then I'll go and see them."

After saying this, Madam Xing took her son Xing Zhao and left Yunjinyuan.

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

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

From the 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 prevailed over the east wind.

It is rare to see a confrontation like today without other people present.

Madam Wei wanted to make a quick decision, but Shang Ji wanted to show off his power.

He asked the man with a very cold tone.

"Do you want to confess yourself? Or do you want me to do it?"

The man had naturally heard of Shang Ji's name, but hearing it was completely different from seeing it and experiencing it personally.

So, he was still pretending to be stubborn.

Shang Ji didn't even raise his eyelids, waved his hand, and Luo Yuan stepped forward and broke his right leg with a click.

The man cried out in pain, and beads of sweat rolled down.

But there was a cloth in his mouth, so he couldn't even shout.

"What now? Confess yourself? Or continue to fight?"

His voice was like a ghost from hell, and every word he uttered was chilling.

The man nodded like crazy, and the meaning couldn't be clearer.

Luo Yuan stepped forward and took the cloth in his mouth, and threatened in a low voice.

"Don't think about committing suicide, I have 10,000 ways to make you want to die but can't die."

Severe pain, threatening words.

It seemed to be a warning to the assassin, but it was actually for Madam Wei and Shang Silang to hear.

Shang Silang was stupid and didn't know what it meant.

He just looked at Luo Yuan in fear, and for the first time felt that this man was really cruel when he started fighting.

Madam Wei's handkerchief was about to be torn, and she clenched her fists, regretting this absurd decision.

He could be so cruel to the assassin. If he knew that he was the one who hired the assassin, what would he do?

He swallowed his saliva and heard the man wailing in pain.

"I confess! I confess!"

"Speak!"

"It was a woman who was neither fat nor thin who gave me money to shoot the man in the carriage. If I knew that he was the Duke of the Duke's Mansion, I would never dare to accept this order."

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

Who knew it was the Duke? !

He was also regretting it so much at this moment.

"Neither fat nor thin? How old? Or do you remember what he looked like?"

Du Jingyi asked appropriately.

But every time she said more, Mrs. Wei was startled, always feeling that she was hinting at something.

"He looks like he's in his forties. When he saw me, there was a screen between us, so I didn't see his face clearly."

He said this while gasping for breath.

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

"The master has always been kind and tolerant, rarely making enemies with others. At the age of forty, he still has money to hire a killer to kill? I don't think it's an ordinary family. Could it be that someone has a grudge against Liu Lang and can't deal with you, so he attacked the master?"

Mrs. Wei wanted to turn the situation around as soon as she opened her mouth.

What's so good about assassinating the Duke of Guo, but Shang Ji is different.

Who doesn't envy and jealous?

Maybe someone wants to assassinate him, so he attacked the Duke of Guo. After all, it is possible that the son's debt is paid by the father.

When Shang Silang heard this, he felt that it made sense and immediately agreed.

"Mother is right. It seems that my father really suffered an unprovoked disaster because of my sixth brother."

When Du Jingyi heard him speak, she laughed.

She didn't know how stupid Shang Silang was before, but now that she put it in front of her, she really felt that the Wei family was too bad.

Same father, different mother.

Her husband was able to fight in all directions, make decisions and handle household affairs in a straightforward manner.

But Shang Silang was misled by a few words without realizing it.

It was really ridiculous.

Seeing her chuckle, Mrs. Wei immediately became unhappy.

After all, Shang Silang was her son, and he was naturally unhappy to be despised.

So she scolded him back.

"Didn't the Du family teach you the rules? What do you mean by your smile?"

Du Jingyi was interrupted and immediately retorted.

"Fourth brother is already thirty years old, how can you believe everything you hear? You just said one or two words and they were just guesses, but he directly put the blame on the general. People who don't know the truth might think that this is the truth! I laugh at him for not thinking before doing things!"
