My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 138 Negotiating behind the scenes

After hearing this, the commander did not dare to delay for a moment.

Even if the Duke is about to die, he cannot die at the hands of the Gyeonggi Division, otherwise he will not be able to withstand the remaining power of General Shang, let alone the Wei family.

He ordered immediately.

"Quickly, send the person to the Duke's Mansion, quickly!"

"yes!"

The man immediately carried Shang Yukuan on his back and ran towards the Duke's Mansion, accompanied by more than ten people.

If you can't carry it anymore, you can lend a hand.

"Where is the assassin?"

"Coming back to the commander, he has been caught by the brothers. The bow and arrow in his hand are indeed worn, and the format of the arrow looks very similar to the arrow in the left arm of the Duke. It should be his hand."

"Tell him to go down and guard him so that he can't commit suicide!"

"yes!"

As for whether to take the people back to the Gyeonggi Division or send them to the Duke's Mansion for their disposal, the commander was a little hesitant.

When Luo Yuan and Zheng Deli saw this, they stopped staying.

After making a gesture, all the people they brought disappeared and rushed back to the camp outside the city.

In the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Wei was a little flustered for some unknown reason.

It's not that I feel sorry that the Duke of Guo is about to be assassinated, but I vaguely feel that this matter may not be so logical.

Sure enough, the sandalwood in the incense burner was still burning intermittently, and there was a commotion outside.

"It's not good, it's not good, madam, the Duke has been assassinated."

The person who came back with the news was the young man who had accompanied the Duke out in the morning. Now he ran back covered in blood, shouting as he ran.

Naturally, it makes people think of Fei Fei.

Mrs. Wei and Nanny Jiao next to her looked at each other, and Nanny Jiao nodded slightly.

Mrs. Wei saw a big stone falling in her heart, and when she raised her eyes again, her tears just kept falling like a dam.

He hurried out of the courtyard gate.

"What's going on? Why was he stabbed? Where is the master! Where is the man!"

Mrs. Wei has been in the back house for decades, and no one can compare to her in acting.

Therefore, the crying was so sad that it soon alarmed the entire Xiyuan.

Shang Qilang was not at home, but Silang and Silang's wife were guarding Shang Zhihe, so they did not go out.

Hearing this movement, the couple's expressions became unhappy.

The son was seriously injured and before he fully recovered, the father was about to collapse again?

Their government has been having a bad year recently or something. Why are all the bad things happening at once?

So Shiro said anxiously.

"Just keep an eye on He'er while I go outside to take a look. We can't let anything happen to our father at this time."

"Okay, husband, go quickly."

Each other knew exactly what they had in mind.

Although it is impossible to overthrow Shang Ji and usurp the young master's position, it does not mean that they can really live under Shang Ji's hands.

Apart from anything else, if my father were to die, it would definitely be Shang Ji and his wife who would take over the Duke's Mansion.

If the Du family takes charge of the family, it will not be so easy for their food and clothing expenses to go into Zhongfu's account in the future.

The couple knew this clearly, so Shang Silang hurried out the door.

After a while, I met Mrs. Wei who was crying out of breath and the boy who was covered in blood.

He was pounding in his heart, wasn't he? He was really so unlucky?

He walked a few steps quickly, stepped forward and asked.

"What's going on? Where is father?"

The boy was obviously frightened and was trembling so much that he couldn't even speak clearly.

Shang Shilang was extremely worried when he heard this. When he got angry for the first time, he slapped the boy, and then said with cruelty in his eyes.

"Straighten your tongue and speak, don't hesitate."

The boy was slapped and was stunned for a long time.

Fortunately, this blow took away a lot of his fear, so he swallowed his saliva and said in horror.

"The Duke is behind, and someone from the Gyeonggi Division is carrying him back to treat his injuries. The little one is running back quickly to tell his wife the news. Hurry, find the doctor!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Wei was a little unsteady on her feet.

In the eyes of others, they probably thought she was too frightened, but only Nanny Jiao knew that the person was too heavy-handed and something was wrong.

So he supported Mrs. Wei and spoke to comfort her.

"Don't worry, madam, we have good medicine in our house, and it will definitely cure the master's illness!"

If you think about her words carefully, you can tell that something is wrong.

It seemed that he was prepared in advance.

But Shang Shilang and the young man present were not smart, so naturally they couldn't tell what was wrong, so they could only speak in a hurry.

"Why are you standing there? Go and ask the doctor to come over! Also, all the famous doctors in the city are here for me. Go quickly!"

Shang Shilang finally lost his temper, and the women were so frightened that they scattered to look for someone.

And these people were all careless. They started looking for the doctor everywhere as soon as they left the house. They kept going back and forth. Before the Duke of Guo arrived at the door of the mansion, many people were talking about it and noticed that something had happened to the Duke of Guo.

Sure enough, when the people from the Gyeonggi Division carried the Duke all the way back, many people saw it.

Therefore, the news that the prince was assassinated in the street quickly swept the streets of Sui'an City.

Mrs. Xing was sitting in the room when she saw her son Xing Zhao coming in a hurry.

There was a serious look on her face, and Mrs. Xing stood up suddenly when she saw it.

Before Xing Zhaodu could speak, he heard Mrs. Xing say.

"Let's go to the Duke's Mansion quickly. If we get there late, we won't be able to see the excitement."

Xing Zhao was stunned, but he quickly came to his senses.

"Mother has known about it for a long time? Could it be that my cousin set it up?"

"What are you talking about? You're labeling your cousin a patricide!"

"Then why does mother still want to watch the fun?"

"Mrs. Wei steals the chicken but loses the rice. I don't want to see the joke of such a good thing. Why do you stay in the house?"

As he spoke, he pushed his son forward.

The people who followed them north this time were all confidants, so Mrs. Xing was not afraid that anyone would leak this secret.

I hurried to the Duke's Mansion without any thought.

By the time they arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, there was already a huge crowd.

Most of them are ordinary people who come to join in the fun, and a few are people who have been arranged in advance.

So standing in the crowd, he began to spread the news furtively.

"If I look at it, this general must have a very tough character. Didn't he kill several wives before? It was obvious that everything was safe in the Duke's mansion before he came back. Why did he come back? So many things happened.”

"Who says it's not the case? I heard that everyone in Dongyuan has fallen ill. I guess he is like this because he can't stand his murderous aura."

Immediately afterwards, someone said suspiciously.

"My lord, I'm afraid it's going to be a disaster this time. When I was carrying him back, he was covered in blood and he was hit by an arrow! I don't know if he will wake up."

After hearing this, the people started discussing among themselves.
