Chapter 584: Pinching the Flame

But if they really join forces with the Xing family this time, then the Earl's Mansion will probably classify their family into the enemy camp. At that time, even if the General's Mansion does not want to take sides, it will not be able to do so.

They are all people who are used to using tricks in the front court and the back yard, so naturally they understand each other's intentions.

Madam Xing said what she should say, sat for a while and left.

After she left, Aunt Xing said with a guilty look on her face.

"It's all my fault. I was so stupid that I brought my eldest sister-in-law home. Now you and your wife are in trouble. Seeing that the third cousin and Lang'er are also coming back, isn't this making it difficult for them?"

"Aunt, don't take everything on yourself. Both the Xing family and the Yan family want to recruit the general's mansion. It's not an idea that they just had today. If not, the general would not have used the training of the army in Wangzhou to leave this fight."

"What are you going to do next?"

"I just said that I will write to the general and ask him. I will copy his reply and reply to Prime Minister Xing in the same way."

Du Jingyi was very confident, but Aunt Xing was more worried. Seeing this, Du Jingyi explained again.

"This news must be sent secretly, so it will take at least two months to go back and forth. By then, the Dingping Marquis's Mansion will not be able to hold the fifth sister-in-law as a handle."

Her words successfully made Aunt Xing relax a little.

Although Wu Lang's wife is a bit pitiful, who asked her to become someone else's pawn? So thinking of this, Aunt Xing would not say a word to plead for her, but instead said.

"Aunt, I still have some connections in Sui'an City. Do you need my help?"

"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it, I can handle it. You, just rest assured to arrange the marriage between cousin Zhao and Xia Meng."

The two of them were talking calmly, but what they were talking about was a life!

Dingping Marquis Mansion would never have thought that Wu Lang's wife, whom they had been looking for for so long, would die suddenly overnight in this midsummer season. The alarm bells were ringing all of a sudden, suspecting that there were spies around, or that she was discovered and secretly eliminated.

Therefore, they specially found a reliable doctor to check the body of Wu Lang's wife.

As a result, after checking left and right, they came to only one conclusion, that is, it was indeed her own unbearable heat that caused her to faint suddenly due to palpitations, and no one else found her, so she was dead, without even a chance to be rescued and struggled.

Looking at the useless corpse, the face of Dingping Hou was very ugly.

"The whole family is useless, hum, roll them up with mats and throw them out, so as not to dirty the yard of my Dingping Hou Mansion."

"Yes, Marquis."

The child who was crying in the same room with her was quite annoying to Dingping Hou at this moment, so he looked at the housekeeper, and the meaning was obvious.

The whole family was dead, and leaving the child in the world would also lead a hard life. It would be better to go to the underworld to reunite, so he was dealt with together.

So, the child was also knocked unconscious, put on his mother, rolled up with mats, and quietly sent to the mass grave outside the city, telling him to wait for death.

Late at night, some stealthy figures appeared in the mass grave.

There were three of them, all wrapped in black clothes and black faces, leaving only a pair of eyes. Seeing that there was no one around, they opened the sloppy mat and saw Wulang's wife and her son lying together.

"The adult is dead, but the child is still breathing, but the stick was a bit harsh, and it hit the back of the head, so the probability of waking up is not high."

One person quickly diagnosed and then said to the leader.

Liu Xun, with his face covered by a black scarf, took a look. The child of a few years old was indeed innocent. When he came, the general's wife had instructed that if the child was still breathing, find a way to send him away and find an honest family to take him in.

It's not to the point of killing everyone, it can be regarded as leaving a descendant for the fifth room.

So after Liu Xun confirmed that the fifth room's young lady was dead, he asked the other two to start the game, and he fed the child a life-saving pill and said.

"Make it more realistic, don't let people see that the child was taken away by us."

"Yes, sir."

Liu Xun took the child and left quietly. The two people who stayed behind arranged the place and left.

After a few days, this place was bitten and torn into pieces by wild dogs. Originally, this was a mother and child who were not valued by people, so no matter how miserable their death was, no one cared.

After hearing his subordinates accurately describe the fate of the fifth young lady, Xing Xiang's breathing became heavier.

I didn't expect that Mrs. Gu Shaoyu was such a capable person.

She didn't even take action, and the most critical witness was dead. At once, she solved the situation that Dingping Marquis Mansion wanted to plot against the General Mansion, and indirectly rejected their invitation from the Xing family.

He really acted without blinking an eye, so he asked someone to call his wife and told her the news.

Madam Xing was in the backyard. If she said her hands were not stained with blood, it would be a lie. But compared with Du Jingyi, she was still a small force.

"Look carefully at this little woman. She seems to be silent, but she is more ruthless than me. She is indeed a military family member. She killed another person with a single blow."

The Dingping Marquis's Mansion didn't know that this was Du Jingyi's doing because they didn't know that their plan had been known in advance by the General's Mansion and the Xing Family. And Xing Xiang was so sure that it was Du Jingyi's doing because of the words that his wife brought back from the General's Mansion.

The people of the Fifth House paid the price of blood for their past actions.

Xing Xiang didn't pity them, but it was indeed a surprise that he understood Du Jingyi through this incident.

"Don't worry, Master. I will pay more attention in the future."

"By the way, the third brother's affairs in Jinling City are almost handed over. I specifically asked about it. He said that he would be able to arrive in Sui'an City at the end of August. The family still has to clean up the yard. Whether they come to live or not is their business. Whether we accept them or not is our courtesy."

"I understand. I will arrange it now."

Since then, the affairs of the Fifth House of the Merchants had a chance to bubble up, but they were strangled by Du Jingyi when the flames just started.

As for the others, including the eldest sister-in-law Liu, Ping'er and Xue Niang, they all didn't know what happened. They were happily enjoying the summer, sometimes boating, sometimes worshiping Buddha, it was so lively.

At the end of July, the He family moved to a new house.

They invited everyone they knew in Sui'an City to come and warm up together. (End of this chapter)
