Chapter 94 Clearing the Five Houses

"Fourth brother is really good at joking. I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!"

Neither of them was willing to give in during the conversation, but the fifth old master had already fallen into a coma. If he was not rescued, he might die.

So they had to rush to send him away.

The people from the fifth room left in a rush, leaving only the people from the third room.

In this situation, no one dared to mention the matter of Prince Min's Mansion. Saving their lives was the most important thing.

So, regardless of Madam Jiao's obstruction, they tore a hole and fled.

For the first time, the servants in the Duke's Mansion saw their masters running around in panic.

They all started to discuss what was happening in Yunjin Courtyard.

"Fifth... Fifth Uncle is not really dead."

The speaker was Shang Yukuan.

He had come back to his senses at this moment.

But Mrs. Wei, who was usually gentle and kind to him, looked at him as if she saw something disgusting, and her eyes were full of disgust.

He also knew that he was useless, so he glanced at him a few times and stopped talking.

He stood up and walked out, and deliberately avoided the bloodstains on the ground.

As if it had nothing to do with him as long as he didn't get stained.

He hid in his favorite study room, avoiding the worldly affairs.

After everyone had left, Madam Jiao quickly ordered people to clean up inside and outside.

There was no place to sit or stand in the yard or in the house.

And Madam Wei, who was just trying hard not to show her fear, now looked like a puppet that had fallen apart, without any strength.

Seeing this, Madam Jiao immediately stepped forward to help.

"Madam, are you okay?"

Madam Wei held Madam Jiao's hand tightly, and there was a lot of tension in her eyes.

She had done many things to harm people.

But those were all private conspiracies, not like today when she was going to beat someone to death in front of everyone.

"That damn old man, buried up to his neck in the dirt, wants to hurt me again. I thought Mrs. Du was so capable, but she just pretended to faint and ran away! Damn it!"

She left these relatives at home to take care of them, which was originally a hot potato for them.

But now, how come it seems that she has dug a hole for herself.

Dongyuan was not involved at all, but she was deeply involved.

Not only did she have a grudge with the third room, but she also made enemies with the fifth room.

Now, if the fifth old man died, wouldn't they fight to the death?

She has a severe headache now, and she can't wait to find a place to hide for two days.

But she has been with these people for decades, and Mrs. Wei knows their personalities very well.

So, after taking a few deep breaths, she calmed down a lot.

Then she started to plan.

After a while, she had a plan in her mind.

"Go, shut up Doctor Zhou. No matter what news you hear, just say that he has a strange disease and needs to be sent to the manor to recuperate. If the people in the fifth room don't like it, send them away!"

"But will there be a commotion..."

"Commotion? Since when have you been afraid of people making a commotion?"

When she heard this, Madam Jiao reacted immediately.

She lowered her eyes and said respectfully.

"I understand, I'll do it right away."

Anyway, she had to cover up this matter at home. If the fifth room could have some sense and not talk nonsense, she could still protect them for the sake of being relatives.

But if they insist on making a commotion, don't blame me for sending them to hell.

After thinking this through, Madam Wei was not as scared as before.

After all, it was just a death.

It's not like there had been death before, so what was there to be afraid of.

A layer of coldness appeared in her eyes, and then she stared at the bloodstains on the brocade blanket on the ground, not knowing what she was thinking or what she was recalling.

There was endless dispute outside, and Shang Ji, who was riding back on his horse, received the news sent by Liu Xun on the way.

And everything that happened in Yunjin Courtyard.

After listening to it, he couldn't help but sneer.

He thought that his wife, who looked low-key, would be irreversible if she took action.

He didn't find it strange at all that the Fifth Old Master would go crazy and attack Madam Wei.

After all, he once wanted to attack Du Jingyi, but was stopped by the maid beside her.

And now, there is no one so loyal to protect Madam Wei, so naturally he can only smash whatever he can.

If the Fifth Old Master was really smashed to death, it would be the hatred between their two houses.

It has nothing to do with Dongyuan.

But Shang Wulang's illness suddenly broke out, and it was so scary. He didn't believe that it was not Du Jingyi's hand.

Since Madam asked him to go back later, he would go back later.

So, the team that had been running 800 miles at a rapid speed just stopped five miles outside the city.

They stopped and let the horses eat grass.

This made Luo Yuan completely confused.

Didn’t they say something happened at home? That’s why they rushed back so anxiously.

What happened? Is everything fine now?

The autumn wind turned cold, but for the soldiers who came back from Cezhou, it was just like scratching, and they didn’t feel anything.

In the East Garden, Du Jingyi finally woke up after using two sets of family heirloom "magic medicine".

He reported his illness directly to the outside world, saying that he needed to rest and couldn’t move.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was on the Yingjuan Courtyard of the fifth room, so naturally no one cared about the news in the Xitang Courtyard.

Unless she was pregnant, it wouldn’t cause any waves.

Since she was pretending to be sick, she naturally had to act like she was pretending to be sick.

After hearing the news, Xue Niang immediately rushed over from Fuqiu Courtyard, with a worried look in her eyes.

Du Jingyi glanced behind her and didn't see anyone else.

So he understood.

The eldest sister-in-law might still have some grudges with them, so she didn't want to come.

But since her husband said that he would handle this matter, Du Jingyi would not rush to do anything "to ask for forgiveness from the sister-in-law".

But she still treated this sister-in-law with more sincerity.

"Sixth sister-in-law, are you okay? I heard that you fainted in Yunjin Courtyard. What happened? It was so terrible?"

Xue Niang was only four years younger than Du Jingyi, but as long as she was under the age of marriage, she was considered a child in Du Jingyi's eyes.

So, she acted like an elder and touched Xue Niang's hair, and said.

"Nothing, I think there will be trouble outside these days, you can stay in the East Garden to accompany the eldest sister-in-law and Ping'er, don't go out if you have nothing to do. In a few days, we will move. If you are really bored, think about what things can be sent over in advance and start packing."

Xue Niang also knew that she was young, and the eldest sister-in-law usually treated her like Ping'er's nephew, but she didn't expect the sixth sister-in-law to do the same.

Although there was worry in her eyes, she was sensible and didn't ask questions.

She could only stay quietly beside Du Jingyi.

From time to time, she asked about his well-being, which reminded Du Jingyi of his elder sister at home.
