Chapter 42: Head-On Confrontation

I saw her smiling, with a calm look on her face.

He said calmly to Butler He.

"After all, the back house is where I will manage things in the future. If I wait for the general to come back to deal with everything, wouldn't it cause him a lot of trouble? Don't worry, Butler He, I know the severity."

When she finished saying this, Butler He and Aunt Dou were a little surprised.

After all, this young lady does not come from a famous family, and she has no special abilities.

And in the past three years in the back house, I have been keeping a low profile.

Therefore, both of them thought she had a quiet and peaceful temperament and were afraid that she would be bullied.

That's why I rushed to block the left and right.

But looking at it today, it seems that they have made a mistake.

Such calmness and calmness may not be possible for the young lady.

So, Butler He said in a deep voice.

"This old slave is worrying too much, young lady, please come!"

Du Jingyi smiled, today's affairs must be done beautifully.

One is to make everyone in the fifth house and even the entire Guogong Mansion open their eyes and see clearly that Dongyuan is not someone they can bully if they want to.

Secondly, it is also to establish its power when it will be moved to the General's Mansion in the future.

After all, she will be the one in charge from now on.

For such a large general's mansion, it is natural to have hundreds of servants.

If she can't establish this reputation now, I'm afraid she will have some trouble in the future.

Therefore, the smile becomes more gentle and touching.

The people in the fifth house don't know yet that they will soon become Du Jingyi's food.

So, he was still cursing and cursing inside.

"The young lady is here!"

Butler He raised his voice and shouted loudly to the people in the flower hall.

Everyone looked over immediately.

The fourth lady, Mrs. Ni, stood up slightly, originally planning to salute.

After all, according to their status, white ladies like them have to bow when they see the general's wife, or the young master and his wife.

But it happened that the father-in-law, husband, son and daughter-in-law were present.

They were all branded on their butts and refused to stand up, so naturally it was hard for her to stand out.

So, he sat down again angrily.

When Du Jingyi walked in and saw that the noses of this family were not noses and their mouths were not mouths, he felt ridiculed in his heart.

I'm so used to it, I don't know how heavy my bones are.

So, he smiled deliberately and said.

"I kept my fifth uncle waiting. It's hard for you to make a trip this early in the morning, but what's the matter?"

Du Jingyi pretended not to know about the death of Manager Qi, and still talked to each other as normal relatives.

Seeing this, the fifth old man immediately became angry.

Hengmei said coldly and angrily.

"My family is unlucky. Why did I marry such a scourge like you? My husband didn't even tell me anything after he killed someone. He's such a waste."

If he wanted to come up, he would suppress Du Jingyi's momentum with a loud rebuke. It would be better to scare her, which would make it easier for him to do things later.

Therefore, there is plenty of room for arrogance.

Du Jingyi must be embarrassed.

As a result, Du Jingyi had no reaction to his display of power, but still said with a smile on his face.

"Oh, my fifth uncle ate something he shouldn't have eaten. He is talking nonsense here. Although I am not from a famous family, I am also the daughter of an innocent family. The matter of marrying into the Duke's palace was done by the Duke himself. The marriage was decided after coming to discuss with my parents, and we were greeted at the front door with three letters and six engagements.”

"Why is it that in the eyes of my fifth uncle, he has become a scourge and a waste?"

When she said this, her face was smiling, but her eyes were cold.

When he looked at the fifth old man, he was quite serious.

The Fourth Lady Ni looked at it and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

It was Wu Lang's wife next to her who patted the back of her hand, which made her fear go away a lot.

On the other hand, Shang Yu'an and Shang Wulang looked at each other and seemed to find it a bit difficult.

Why hadn't I noticed before that this Liulang's wife was a sharp-tongued woman?

Now I realize that it is a tough nut to crack.

The father and son calmed down and planned to take a look at the situation before speaking.

The Fifth Old Master has been in the back house for a long time, and there is no room for others to point fingers at him.

Especially when he saw that Du Jingyi was a weak woman, he stepped forward and said fiercely with his eyes wide open.

"Bah, you dare to question me regardless of my identity?"

Du Jingyi may have been doing business with his parents all over the country for many years, but he has never seen anyone.

But people like the Fifth Old Master are really rare.

What is his name, the Fifth Old Master? He might as well be called the Rogue Master.

But the momentum should not be lost, so he said with a firm tone.

"Given that I am the wife of the young prince who has entered the Duke's palace in a sedan chair, and that I am the wife of the second-grade fat cavalry general of the current dynasty, there seems to be nothing wrong in correcting my fifth uncle who was born in Baiding."

"you!"

The fifth old man was very angry.

One of the things he is most taboo about is his own identity.

Obviously my brother is a high-ranking official, but he is an ordinary citizen who is not worth mentioning.

In recent years, relying on the power of the Duke's Mansion, he has gained a lot of benefits outside.

But the more this happened, the more twisted his heart became.

I always think that they are all crawling out of the belly of a mother, so there is no distinction between them.

It's just his bad luck, if he was the one who followed the founding emperor in the uprising.

Then it will be him who enjoys all the glory today.

Why should we live under the shadow of our brother and let our children and grandchildren suffer as well?

Du Jingyi looked at the Fifth Old Master like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

He stared at her fiercely, wishing he could find an opportunity to scratch her.

And the Fifth Old Master did not disappoint Du Jingyi's guess.

He stood up and slapped her fiercely, cursing.

"You bastard, I want to show you how powerful I am! How dare you act wild in front of me!"

He pretended to slap her, and housekeeper He and Madam Dou hurriedly stopped him.

But Du Jingyi stood in front of him calmly, looking at him with a smile.

His palm was raised high, and before it fell in front of Du Jingyi, he was knocked to the ground by Li Zhu's sweeping kick.

Then he immediately grabbed the throat of the Fifth Old Master in a grappling posture.

The palm he had just raised was now folded behind his back in a weird posture.

With a snap, the bone was dislocated.

Although the Fifth Old Master had a good physical foundation, he was still a man in his seventies.

After being knocked down like this, he almost couldn't catch his breath.

Li Zhu, who was kneeling on him, had murderous intent in his eyes at this moment, and he calmly uttered every word.

"Few people who dare to touch the young lady can walk out of this door standing!"
