My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Shang Ji was not a soft-hearted person, so after taking a sip of the tea at hand, he spoke.

"Xue Niang's letter to grandma has been answered. She said she would go north, so I told cousin Zhao yesterday and asked him to take Ping'er with him."

Du Jingyi has been "recuperating" these days, so he has not had the opportunity to meet and talk to his sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, my husband was very quick and got the work done in a hurry, so he asked out of curiosity.

"Sister-in-law agreed so quickly?"

"Maybe she also noticed that we were going to deal with the neighboring courtyard. There is no peace if we stay in Sui'an City, so we might as well leave."

Du Jingyi also thinks this makes sense.

In the past, there was no condition to send him away, but now it is just a matter of following Xing Zhao.

I'll be back in a month at most, so my sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, really doesn't object much, but actually thinks it's a good thing.

Therefore, "seriously ill" returned to being "seriously ill", so he packed his son's luggage.

And those things were all given away a few days ago during the move.

When the time comes, all Shang Zhiping has to do is follow Xing Zhao in one piece.

The two talked for a while about this matter, and not long after, Butler He hurried in with a hurried expression.

"General, Madam, something happened in Baotaoyuan."

"Oh? What did you find?"

Butler He looked at Shang Ji with a serious face and replied.

"Many witchcraft dolls were found from the third old master's house, including those of the Duke of Guo, those of our Dongyuan, and those of Yunjinyuan and Xiyuan. In short, we basically have one for all the masters with names. "

Du Jingyi raised his eyebrows and glanced at his husband, but didn't say anything more.

Mrs. Wei is good at diverting trouble. It seems that she also wants to kill the people in the third room with a stick.

"Where are the others? Are there any?"

"There are two thousand five hundred taels of unidentified silver notes in the second young lady's room."

Du Jingyi knows this money.

It was given by Shang Liu Niang to Sanfang to buy a dowry for Shang Si Niang when she came here last time.

Only five hundred taels have been spent now?

Their family really only cares about their own life and death.

Shang Liuniang deducted some, and Erlang's wife deducted some. In the end, Shang Siniang, who was really going to suffer, got only a fraction.

It makes me feel pitiful just thinking about it.

"What did she say?"

"He's hemming and hawing. The old slave didn't give an accurate answer before he came."

Then Butler He seemed to think of something and added.

"The third young master did curse a few times, but he didn't point it out specifically."

Apparently, everyone in the third room knew that Erlang's wife was tampering with him.

Even if a disaster comes, it will be a mess inside.

"What did the people from the Gyeonggi Division say?"

"It is said that the old servant who bribed the killer has been found, which is Mother Qin next to the Second Young Madam."

Mother Qin?

Du Jingyi had some impression of her.

However, both her body shape and age were similar to what the assassin said. No wonder Mrs. Wei would use her as a scapegoat.

"How is the deputy commander determined?"

"Mother Qin made an excuse to go to the firewood shed and looked around for a long time. If it weren't for the tight guarding by our Dongyuan people, she would have been silenced long ago, and there would be no chance of a counterattack."

Buy murder, unknown money, witchcraft doll.

Although Mrs. Wei's trick is cliché, it is very effective.

Especially since the person who came here was her brother, he was naturally a gangster. With such a series of designs, there would be no chance for the third room to stand up.

Du Jingyi looked outside calmly, and then said to Shang Ji.

"The fire is burning so fiercely. Let's help a little more so that Mrs. Wei doesn't have to live too comfortably."

A flash of fierceness flashed in Shang Ji's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Then, a few of the dead branches outside were broken by the wind and snow.

When it fell to the ground, it looked like the three-room man who was struggling on the ground just now.

In Baotaoyuan, the cries were louder than the others.

Now everyone is confused about the third old man. When did he actually have these things hidden in his room?

Isn't this an obvious frame-up? Suddenly he started to curse.

"What shameless person dares to do this to me! We are all relatives in the same house, why should I curse them!"

It's a pity that the person standing in front of him now is not a relative of the Duke's Mansion.

But Wei Mingxian.

So he looked over coldly and saw two or three soldiers coming forward and giving him a few slaps in the face. The slaps made the third old man dizzy and his face was still burning with pain.

"If you dare to talk nonsense in front of adults, you should be slapped ten times as a warning to others."

Last time they were dragged back to Baotaoyuan by Shang Ji's people. Although it looked a little ugly, they were not really hurt in the end.

But now, the third old man's solid injury made everyone in the third house afraid.

They are not from the Duke's Mansion, they just don't know how to be polite.

So, everyone hid like a coward, and no one stood up for the third old man.

Erlang's daughter-in-law, who was usually the sharpest talker, was now crying out for injustice.

Mother Qin next to her obviously didn't do anything, so how could she be accused of paying for the murder of the master?

Besides, if the Duke dies, what good will it do to them?

So even though the person was tied up, he was still crying and shouting.

"It's unjust, it's unjust, sir, you need to be aware of everything. Mother Qin has never done anything, how could she buy the murder of my uncle!"

"She didn't do it. Could it be that you did it?"

Wei Mingxian doesn't care about this. He can nail anyone.

The people involved on the left and right were all people from the third room, so he said with a fierce look on his face.

"I see that she is the most suspicious, so I took her away with the old slave and the three old masters. Please go to the Gyeonggi Division to explain where these things come from!"

After saying this, he glanced at his subordinates.

Erlang's wife, Qin's mother, and the third old man were all tied up and taken away directly.

It’s not like they didn’t struggle during the process.

But struggling is useless.

Without the support of the government, they are just civilians.

As the saying goes, the people will not fight with the officials, let alone the officials who want to put them to death.

"take away!"

People from the Gyeonggi Division come and go in a hurry, and they leave with a full load.

When they left, many people gathered at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, all coming to join in the fun.

Seeing that someone was actually being taken out, they rushed forward one by one, muttering something in their mouths.

"No, is there really a spy?"

"It seems to me that he is from the third room."

"how do you know?"

"The old one is the third old man in the Duke's mansion. He used to come to our teahouse to drink tea!"

After hearing the man's explanation, everyone jumped out and started giving various opinions.

The three people who were taken away had rags stuffed in their mouths. They also wanted to defend themselves, but it was of no use.

The people from the Gyeonggi Division walked away, leaving a mess behind.
