Chapter 142: Poisoning Plan
Du Jingyi originally planned to just feel aggrieved like this, but he just pretended to be pitiful.
However, when Shang Shilang said this, he became unhappy and started to protect his husband.
No matter what he is, he is worthy enough to doubt this and that.
If he really wanted to know that what happened today was all caused by him, a good mother, he would be so shocked that he would be speechless.
Similarly, Shang Ji was not someone who would be bullied. He snorted coldly and spoke in support of Du Jingyi.
"Rules? It's really interesting to hear this word coming from Mrs. Wei's mouth. If you want me to say that you are the most unruly person, don't you? Do you need me to preach about those things back then?"
"you!"
The veil in Mrs. Wei's hand was about to be torn, and she wanted to rush forward and give the couple a slap in the face.
It's a pity that although she is the princess's wife, she has no real power.
Even if he wanted to make a mistake in front of Shang Ji, there was nothing he could do. He only healed his eyes and started to cry.
"Master, wake up quickly. Everyone in this family can trample me to the ground. Shiro, I have been humiliated so much. Why don't you say a few words?"
Shang Shiro suddenly felt a little ashamed.
But when it comes to scolding people, he can't scold Du Jingyi, and when it comes to power, he can't be greater than his sixth brother.
What can he do? So he could only clasp his fists and say in shame.
"What mother said is that her son is useless, so he should go back and think about his mistakes."
After saying this, he left angrily.
Seeing this son who was exactly the same as her husband, Mrs. Wei was really heartbroken.
"What evil have I done to give birth to such a useless thing? If Shiro was at home today, I would never let you insult me like this!"
As he spoke, he cried.
This time my tears were sincere, and I cried much better than before.
"So what if Shichiro is here? Do you think I will be afraid?"
Shang Ji looked at Mrs. Wei coldly, his eyes full of ridicule.
"Okay, I don't think I can get anything done here. Luo Yuan, bring someone back to Dongyuan and you can interrogate it yourself."
"yes."
She originally wanted to say something to stop him, but instead she saw Shang Ji step forward, hug Du Jingyi and leave.
He didn't even say hello when he left.
Even Luo Yuan did the same. He picked up the man with the broken leg and went out.
Such arrogance made Mrs. Wei so angry that she almost dropped the tea cup in front of her.
Grandma Jiao, who had been hiding in the next room and eavesdropping, ran in in a panic and closed the door tightly.
He immediately fell to his knees and cried to Mrs. Wei.
"Madam, please save this old slave. If that man's mouth is not trustworthy and the general asks him what information he has, then the old slave's whole family will be executed."
A slave pays to kill his master.
This is news rarely heard in Daxing Dynasty.
By then, even if everyone knows that she is not the "instigator behind the scenes," they will definitely make her admit everything in order to take the blame.
Not to mention her, even her whole family couldn't live.
Bang bang bang, he kowtowed harder than anyone else, and soon red bruises appeared.
Aunt Jiao had served Mrs. Wei for many years, and she felt very distressed when she saw her, so she pulled her up and said.
"If you are traced out about this matter, I will also lose my skin. We have to think of a comprehensive way to push this matter out."
"What do you mean, ma'am?"
"Why don't you just stop doing it and go to the third house? I remember that the mother Qin next to Erlang's wife is in her forties, and she is neither fat nor thin. To be honest, her profile is different from yours. resemblance."
After hearing this, Grandma Jiao felt some hope in her heart.
As long as she can survive, let alone framing him, she can do it even if she is asked to send the assassin to his death at this moment!
Suddenly, Nanny Jiao remembered what Du Jingyi had just said.
Then, a poisonous plan emerged.
He started talking into Mrs. Wei's ear.
"I'm worried that it would be wrong to frame Mother Qin alone. Why would she pay to have him killed when she has no enmity with the master?"
"What do you want to do?"
"If you don't pin this matter directly on the Third Old Master, haven't you always wanted these blood-sucking locusts to leave the Duke's Mansion? This is a good opportunity."
"How to say?"
"The third room has been coveting the Duke's Mansion for a long time. Ever since I found out that the fifth room has moved out, I have been worried every day that I will be next. In order to stay in the Duke's Mansion, something will naturally happen. of."
"If the master is sick or in trouble, it would be reasonable for them to stay in the house and help take care of him, right?"
Aunt Jiao's words made Mrs. Wei feel a little inappropriate.
Although it is a reason, it is somewhat far-fetched.
"In addition, these days, everyone in Dongyuan has fallen ill, and the master has encountered this difficulty again. Suddenly, many people in charge of the family have been missing. Maybe it was the third family's meddling, just to have an excuse to stay! Replace it again!”
Grandma Jiao was obviously ill and sought medical treatment, so the ideas she came up with when she was anxious were not perfect.
In Mrs. Wei's mind, she felt that the people in Dongyuan had other motives for falling ill.
But right now, it doesn't seem like a good time to pursue this matter.
Who knows when Shang Ji will find out the truth. He must hurry up before this and push the third room to be the scapegoat to block the limelight.
So, I couldn't care about anything else.
"Well, we must be careful in this matter, and don't let the people in the East Garden catch any handle."
"Don't worry, Madam. This time, I won't do it myself. Don't be scared. I'm scared to death."
The master and servant began to carefully study how to find the third room to be a scapegoat.
And all this is what Du Jingyi wanted to see.
The assassin was just a cover. Luo Yuan mentioned that he didn't return to the East Garden, but locked him in the firewood room next to it.
When he left, he was afraid that others didn't know that there was someone here, so he specifically told the subordinates.
"Watch closely, this man is the wanted criminal who assassinated the Duke. If something goes wrong, we will all be in trouble!"
The servants were all brought up by Butler He, so they naturally knew the priorities. They locked them up immediately and kept guarding them on both sides.
All of this fell into the eyes of the servants sent by Madam Wei. He thought he had discovered some important secrets and hurried back to report the news.
But he didn't notice the sarcasm at the corner of Luo Yuan's mouth.
Shang Ji carried Du Jingyi all the way back to Xitang Courtyard.
Madam Xing and Xing Zhao had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw the two of them coming in, they immediately surrounded them.
"What did you say? How to deal with it?"
"The assassin said that he was hired to kill someone. Now he is locked up in the woodshed next door, waiting for his fate."
"Is it that simple?"
Madam Xing obviously didn't believe it. She had known for a long time that the person who hired the killer was Madam Wei, but she didn't see her being caught today, so she was naturally unhappy.
But when she saw the smile on Du Jingyi's face, she knew that there must be a follow-up to this matter.
