Chapter 66: Escape Medicine (Additional Updates with Recommended Votes)

"Well, I heard that his surname is Qi, and he is a distant relative of the fifth wife in the Duke's mansion. Wu Lang in your mansion has been talking about it outside, but I sent someone to inquire about it carefully. , I didn’t say anything bad about you and your wife, so I didn’t let anyone send you any news.”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but laugh.

And Yingying and Lizhu, who were standing behind her, couldn't hold back and laughed along with their young lady.

The three people smiled strangely, and the Du couple and Du Jingxiang looked at her inexplicably.

At this point, Du Jingyi told the things related to Manager Qi Er.

Including how he angered Shang Ji before he was beaten, including how the Fifth Old Master and others came to stir up trouble, and naturally also included how she dealt with him back.

The three members of the Du family looked at each other in shock.

Du Jingxiang was still in shock that Shang Ji had killed a slave, but what surprised the Du family and his wife even more was that their daughter actually used the medicine.

That was a good thing that Mr. Du spent a lot of money to buy from the Western Regions.

In order to give Du Jingyi a way out, they had planned it.

Once the drug is contaminated, symptoms will appear in about a month depending on individual circumstances.

At first, I felt discomfort in my body and bones, and gradually I felt sore, weak, and even vomiting and dizzy.

Then, some red rashes will appear, and they may be itchy.

It looks very scary, but in fact there is no possibility of infection.

However, everyone is afraid of the epidemic.

Naturally, people who may have the "epidemic" should be moved out of the house.

In this way, the Du family will naturally have the opportunity to come to ask for reconciliation and let Du Jingyi be free.

What the Dus and Mrs. Du didn't expect was that their daughter didn't use the medicine, but the person in the fifth room used it first.

So Mr. Du lowered his voice and asked.

"Have you collected the antidote?"

"Don't worry, daddy. Are you still worried about the inappropriateness of Cherry's work?"

Hearing this, Cherry also said particularly calmly.

"Don't worry, sir. I didn't get my hands on anything. Even the tray was properly disposed of after use. I will never let others discover it and affect the young lady."

"That's good."

The Du family and his wife are not trustworthy men and good women.

And the dirty relatives in the Duke's mansion are not much better than those in the Du family.

Therefore, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with her daughter using medicine to deal with them.

If you can get rid of one, it's one. Otherwise, why keep it? Be an ancestor?

Du Jingyi also meant this, so he didn't leave much room for action.

Don’t people in the fifth house love money?

In this case, no one who has touched the money can escape.

She wanted to see how many people in the fifth house were only greedy for money, even if they didn't care about their lives?

It's just that it's hard to say this here.

She was not afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that the timid sister would be in trouble if she heard the fetal gas.

So he and his parents looked at each other, and after each understood the situation, they changed the topic.

It's the end of September now. It's not too cold to say it's cold, and it's not too hot to say it's hot.

The family thought that before Du Jingxiang gave birth, they could find a place nearby to play for a few days, and Shu Shu was in a good mood.

Then, Mrs. Du asked Du Jingyi.

"In a few days, can you come out of the Duke's mansion for a day and come with us to Pingliang Temple?"

Du Jingyi was a little surprised. Normally, his mother was not someone who liked to burn incense and worship Buddha. Why did she suddenly mention this today?

So he asked curiously.

"What's wrong?"

Mrs. Du said calmly.

"Pingliang Temple is going to build a golden body, and most of the famous merchants in Sui'an City have been asked by the court to donate money. How can they not go? Our family, your Uncle Han's family, and other families, there are about twenty or so households. , I thought that since we have paid this money, we should naturally seek the blessings of Bodhisattva. Your sister is going to give birth, and you have to move. It is a big deal. "

Hearing this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but want to laugh.

"My mother actually believes this?"

"Believe it or not, the money has been paid out, and the road to Pingliang Temple is also smooth. It would be good to take you to see the scenery of autumn maple and fire, isn't it?"

Du Jingxiang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

When she was in the boudoir, and after she got married, she also liked to go on outings.

But now, with a full belly, she can only be detained in the back house to raise the baby.

Now that I have such a good opportunity, I don’t want to let it go.

So he said coquettishly to his sister Du Jingyi.

"Good sister, let's go together. I won't be able to stay in Sui'an City for long. It's good for us sisters to see each other one more time, let alone go out together."

Du Jingyi was also a little tempted by what she said.

So he nodded and said.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with the general when I get back. The moving matter is almost settled, so there should be no problem."

Seeing her answer like this, Du Jingxiang also smiled and raised his eyebrows.

As they were talking, Master Du, who had been smiling just now, seemed to think of something, narrowed his eyes and fell silent.

The Du family were all familiar with him being like this, and he must be thinking about something, so they didn't bother him.

After a while, Master Du snorted coldly, his eyes were full of fox-like calculations, and he reminded Du Jingyi.

"Father, I remember that there was a girl from the Shang family who married the rice grain family of the Jia family, right?"

Du Jingyi was a little surprised, why did he suddenly ask this, but after thinking about it, he answered decisively.

"Yes, the sixth lady from the third room."

Hearing this, Master Du nodded, and became more and more certain.

"I was wondering why your uncle Han was so unhappy, it turned out to be this reason."

When he said this, not to mention Du Jingyi and Du Jingxiang, the two sisters were confused, even Mrs. Du was a little confused.

"What's wrong? How is it related to Brother Han again?"

The full name of Brother Han mentioned by Mrs. Du is Han Cheng.

It is also a wealthy family with many years of history. Several generations have accumulated a lot of property, so it is also a well-known figure among the wealthy businessmen in Sui'an City.

The reason why they have close contact with the Du family is that Han Cheng and the Du couple are both keen on doing charity, so they naturally get to know each other.

How does the saying go?

It is rare to meet a bosom friend, which is what Mr. Du and Mr. Han said.

In the year when the flood hit Zeping Township, the amount of money and materials donated by the two was surprisingly large.

It is precisely because of this that the relationship between the two families has become closer and closer from mutual appreciation.

If the sons of the Han family had not been engaged in their early years, I am afraid that the two sisters of the Du family would have married into the family.
