Chapter 95 The Cunning Rabbit Dies

Therefore, she also had some sincere love for her.

She always thought that she must find a good marriage for her so that she could live a happy and comfortable life, instead of becoming a puppet in the hands of her family like the daughters of the third and fifth rooms.

In this farce, Qi Niang and Si Niang did not appear.

Si Niang did not go because she was heartbroken and did not care where her family arranged her.

So she did not care at all and did not participate.

And Qi Niang did not go, just because she was taking care of the sick Mrs. Guo.

Not long after the fifth room returned Ying Juan, it was reported that Wu Lang had a strange disease and might even infect others.

For the safety of the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Wei immediately surrounded all the people in the fifth room.

They were tied up, tied up, dragged onto the carriage, and sent to the farm outside the city.

The fifth old man, who was the most active in the fifth room, was only half alive at this moment.

However, before he could wake up, the power that had been entrenched in Yingjuan Courtyard for decades was uprooted by Madam Wei.

Over the years, while she indulged herself, she also firmly grasped the handle.

If she didn't move, it would be fine. If she moved, she would be wiped out.

It was only a few hours before and after, and the five houses were as if they had never appeared in the Duke's Mansion.

Even the traces disappeared without a trace.

The third house was next door to them, and they had never seen such a big show by Madam Wei.

This time they were really scared.

Everyone hid in their own rooms, and dared not make a sound or show their heads.

It was as if the past few decades of tyranny were just a dream, and after waking up, they found that they were just a poor relative of the Duke's Mansion.

Even a little dispensable.

Shang Ji waited until the night fell before returning to the Duke's Mansion.

It was obviously the same plaque and the same gate, but I always felt that there was something different.

He got off his horse and entered the gate of the Duke's Mansion, and ran towards the East Garden without hesitation.

When he reached the gate of Xitang Courtyard, he smelled some medicine, but it was not too strong.

He frowned immediately and quickened his pace.

He went straight into the door of the main house.

As expected, he saw Du Jingyi lying "weakly" on the bed, and his face looked a little pale.

"What's the matter? Injured?"

Du Jingyi probably didn't expect her husband to come back so quickly, so she was a little surprised.

But she reacted quickly and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, General, I'm fine."

Then she sat up from the bed, wiped her face with her fingers, and a white and delicate powder fell on her fingertips.

At a glance, it was clear that the pale face was an illusion.

"Mrs. Wei wants to deal with the fifth room and wants me to be her guarantor. I'm not stupid enough to take the blame for her, so I can only pretend to be sick."

"She may not know."

Shang Ji has a thorough understanding of this stepmother, so he pointed it out as soon as he opened his mouth.

But Du Jingyi is not worried.

"It doesn't matter if she knows. After all, she has completely offended the fifth room this time. I'm afraid they will fight to the death in the future."

Hearing this, Shang Ji felt the same way.

Sure enough, Butler He and Nanny Dou came to the door.

"This old servant greets the general and the young lady."

"Well, stand up."

"Thank you, general."

The two looked a little happy, as if they had been suppressed for a long time and were reborn.

"How is the fifth room?"

"Mrs. Wei has sent them away. Now Yingjuan Courtyard is brand new, as if no one has ever lived there. Even the servants who served them or had some connection with them have been detained. I heard that they will all be sent out of the city tonight."

As for where they are going, it is unknown.

If they are lucky, they will probably be sent to the farm to do some rough work.

But if they are unlucky, or if they are too loyal, it is unknown whether they will survive.

Shang Ji sneered.

"She is trying to steal a chicken but loses the rice. I want to see if her good reputation as a bodhisattva can be preserved after this matter is publicized?"

After saying that, he looked outside and did not speak.

Du Jingyi seemed to hear some movement, but the wind passed without a trace.

It seems that Liu Xun, who was squatting in the dark, has something important to do.

Butler He and Madam Dou have been busy dealing with the affairs of the general's mansion these days, so they have not participated in many things.

They had never seen Liu Xun before.

Since he was a spy, the fewer people knew about it, the better.

Therefore, Du Jingyi understood that he did not show up.

Shang Ji lowered his eyebrows and looked at her face.

Putting aside the paleness, she looked bright and clear-headed after only four or five days of not seeing her.

So, he said in a calm tone.

"Okay, since you are sick, take good care of yourself. I will go to see my sister-in-law and Xue Niang."

Since the matter of the fifth room had been settled, Shang Ji also knew that it was time to talk to my sister-in-law.

Du Jingyi understood, so he nodded and continued to pretend to be sick.

Butler He and Madam Dou also followed Shang Ji out the door.

After walking out of Xitang Courtyard, the two looked at each other and took two steps forward to block Shang Ji's way.

At this moment, she was truly surrendered to Du Jingyi, the young lady.

"General, we didn't know the value of the young lady before, and we were always worried that the young lady was too young to handle the disputes in the harem. Now it seems that the fifth house has been uprooted, Madam Wei's reputation has been damaged, and she has alienated the relatives of the two houses, which has made our Dongyuan safe."

They were all brought by Madam Gu, so it would not be a lie to say that they would surrender.

Shang Ji could see that Du Jingyi had put a lot of thought into them these days.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so fast, and they would see their eyes full of praise.

In his heart, he was more sure of Du Jingyi's ability to control his subordinates, so he said "hmm".

Then he asked.

"How is Fuqiu Courtyard these days? Is there anything wrong with the eldest sister-in-law?"

Madam Dou shook her head.

"I haven't heard that the eldest young lady has been in Fuqiu Courtyard all the time and has not gone out much. It's just that the eighth lady visits more often."

Shang Ji heard this and said to the two of them.

"Okay, then you guys go and do your work. I'll go to Fuqiu Courtyard to see my eldest sister-in-law and Ping'er."

"Yes, General."

The two courtyards were not very far apart, so it was not too much trouble for Shang Ji to walk to the door of Fuqiu Courtyard.

The scene of the quarrel with the eldest sister-in-law that day was still vivid in his mind, but if you count carefully, it has been more than ten days.

For some things, he felt that it would be better to wait until the result was reached before talking about them.

Therefore, now that the fifth room had such an end, he dared to step into the door of Fuqiu Courtyard.

I just hope that the eldest sister-in-law will have calmed down a little and will not drive him out directly.

Stepping in, he saw three figures vaguely visible in the main room, and he knew that the eighth sister Xue Niang was also there.
