My Stepmother Is Soft and Charming

Chapter 86 Suspicion

After finishing the important matters, the women of the Fifth House had no excuse to stay any longer.

After all, they were all rushing back to tell their husbands at home about the good news.

Therefore, on the way back, the expressions of several people were so excited that no one could help but feel puzzled.

Why didn't I know that the people of the Fifth House had such close contacts with the East Garden before?

Let them come and go, come and go with a smile, I wonder if the Fifth House has gained some benefits in the East Garden.

Such doubts, not to mention the servants, the people of the Third House also felt suspicious when they heard the news.

Especially the Erlang's wife Guan, who has always been meticulous, is now talking to the Sanlang's wife in her room.

"Have you heard? The Fifth Brother's wife went to the East Garden, and her head was almost raised to the sky when she left. What kind of magic potion did the people of the East Garden give them? How could they become so good all of a sudden?"

Although she and the Sanlang's wife had some conflicts because of the matter of the Fourth Lady a few days ago, they were still from the same house after all.

Since Sanlang's wife is willing to bow her head, she will naturally not hold on to the little grudges in the past.

Now the people in the third room are united, and they all want to find a way to send Si Niang to the Min Palace, so of course they have to unite.

After hearing her say this, Sanlang's wife also felt that it was not right.

The people in Dongyuan have always been very tight-lipped and never participated in any outside affairs.

Especially the eldest sister-in-law Liu basically avoided the people in their third and fifth rooms like snakes and scorpions, and had little contact with them.

Why did she change her style these days?

Could it be that the sixth brother's wife wanted to unite the family, so she started with the fifth room first?

So, she said something extra.

"Second sister-in-law, it can't be that there is something in the fifth room that can be involved in Dongyuan, so they have such close contact."

Erlang's wife is also a vigilant person. She immediately raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but say suspiciously.

"Could it be that they also know about the Min Palace?"

Since the Jia family knew this news, the Du family should also know it.

After all, in terms of wealth, the Jia family cannot compare with the Du family.

With this association, the expressions of Erlang's wife and Sanlang's wife were not as relaxed as before.

No one wanted to give up the wealth that they had finally waited for.

Outside, they could all be relatives of the Duke's Mansion, and they were enjoying the glory of the Duke's Mansion anyway.

But in the mansion, they were all people who lived their own lives behind closed doors.

They didn't believe that the fifth room would give benefits to the third room after getting this power, just as they would not share this wealth with the fifth room.

This is what the saying goes, you can't share the hardship, and you may not be willing to share the happiness, but when eating other people's meals, you don't mind sharing the other person's saliva.

Thinking of this, Erlang's wife was unhappy.

She said with a cold face.

"No, this matter must be investigated thoroughly. If the Fifth House and the East Garden really join forces, what will happen to the Fourth Lady?"

Originally, Shang Fourth Lady lost a lot to Shang Seventh Lady.

If the Fifth House really wants to compete, then the position of concubine will be handed over to someone else?

She doesn't want to.

Sanlang's wife has always disagreed with this matter. Seeing that the Second Sister-in-law is so anxious, she can't say much.

If she wants to, Shang Seventh Lady can go to this blessed nest by herself.

But she won't be stupid enough to say this again, so she kept her mouth shut and didn't participate in the discussion of this matter.

After sitting for a while, she found an excuse to leave first.

After she left, the Second Lady called Mother Qin beside her and gave her special instructions.

"Go and find out what's going on at home recently? Especially the Fifth House, keep a close eye on them and see if they know about the Min Palace?"

"Yes, I know."

After Mother Qin left, Erlang's wife still couldn't suppress the worry in her heart.

"It's better not to, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless and wanting to ruin your marriage."

Although she was talking to herself, the meaning of targeting Shang Qiniang was already very obvious.

Unlike the Third House who was facing a great enemy at the moment, Du Jingyi was bathing in Xitang Courtyard.

After finally sending away the people from the Fifth House, she naturally had to come back to wash up again, otherwise she would be sticky and she wouldn't be able to sleep well.

The maids Yingtao and Lizhu were serving beside her, and they were even very serious about washing her hair.

Du Jingyi was so comfortable that she almost fell asleep in the bathtub.

Seeing that she was not worried at all, Lizhu couldn't help but talk too much.

"Madam, the people in the fifth room are so good at taking advantage. They are obviously making clothes for Miss Seven, but the fifth young lady is so eager to change the clothes for everyone in the fifth room. It's really annoying."

"Okay, measure the size, it's a simple thing. She wants me to feel sorry for the fur and fabric. Anyway, it takes a long time to make winter clothes, and she may not be able to wear them."

Hearing this, Lizhu remembered that they had already drugged the fifth room.

It's about these days, it's time to break out.

In this way, some of the unhappiness in the indignation was melted away.

While Yingtao applied gel to her, she said.

"Madam, the news that has been arranged to be released has been prepared. I guess that Madam Qin will find out what she wants to find out later."

"That's good, so that Madam Wei won't give us trouble every day. We must repay her kindness once. It's a foolish dream to want to get rid of this relationship."

Hearing their own madam say this, the maids Yingtao and Lizhu also nodded heavily.

They didn't have a good impression of Madam Wei, especially her subordinate Madam Jiao, who would be angry for a long time every time they saw her.

It was because of her sharp tongue.

The master and servant were all happy when they thought that the firepower of the third room would be aimed at Yunjin Courtyard.

Humming the song, they continued to bathe.

As expected, the "news" that Du Jingyi had just arranged was soon heard by Mother Qin.

She probably never dreamed that the Duke's Mansion, where they had been dominating for decades, had actually changed a long time ago.

She still believed in the news.

So she hurried to Erlang's wife's room.

"What do you mean? Do you really know?"

Erlang's wife knew it was not good when she saw Mother Qin's face.

So she asked directly without her saying anything.

Mother Qin also looked very serious, and then told the news she had inquired about.

"Early this morning, the Fifth Old Master took the Fourth Master and the Fifth Young Master to Yunjin Courtyard. The maids inside said that they had been making a fuss for quite a while. They heard some of the conversations from Madam Wei, who suggested to the Fifth House that they ask the general and the lady of the East Courtyard to arrange a way out for the Seventh Young Lady."

"What way out?"

"It was said that it was the position of concubine in the Prince Min's Palace. The maids didn't hear it clearly, so they didn't know the details. But after the Fifth Old Master and the others came out, they all smiled happily. It wasn't long before the women of the Fifth House headed for the East Courtyard."
