MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 583 Come and talk
Mrs. Xing acted sincerely, but Du Jingyi was unmoved. Then she glanced at Aunt Xing, who was also anxious, and said comfortingly.
"Aunt, please don't take everything on yourself. This matter is originally a dispute between my General's Mansion and the Fifth Fang, so it has nothing to do with the Xing family. People from the Dingping Marquis Mansion arrested the Fifth Sister-in-law and wanted to throw dirty water on me. To be honest, this may not be dirty water.”
"what does it mean?"
“Because it was indeed me who destroyed the whole family in Wufang.”
Hearing this, the two sisters-in-law of the Xing family were a little surprised and couldn't think of the next sentence. They both looked at Du Jingyi with complicated expressions.
They are obviously a delicate and weak person, but how can they be so cruel when they speak, and can kill people and whole families at every turn? They still sound a little scared.
Mrs. Xing drank tea to cover up her surprise, but Aunt Xing didn't care about it. She took Du Jingyi's hand and asked eagerly.
"Why? What are you doing to send their whole family to die? Could it be that they did something bad that forced you to take action?"
Hearing this, Du Jingyi still felt warm in her heart. At least at this moment she knew that Aunt Xing was trying to find a way for herself. If they did something unpopular, it would be natural for them to deal with it.
So she also took her aunt's hand and said comfortingly.
“The people in Wufang are evil. Does my aunt still remember the death of my mother-in-law? They are secretly helping her!”
Hearing this, not to mention Aunt Xing, even Mrs. Xing was a little surprised.
Who in Jinling city didn't know that the young lady from the Gu family who married into the Duke's palace was well-raised by her parents' family, but after she left the family, she suffered even more grievances.
"Didn't my cousin die because she was ill and very angry? How could it be related to the people in the fifth house? Tell me, what do you mean?"
Aunt Xing's eagerness made Du Jingyi feel that the Gu family was indeed a group of good sisters who loved each other, so he stopped talking nonsense and told Wu Lang's daughter-in-law what she had said before and how she dealt with Wu Fang. .
The heat outside still made people break into a thin sweat, but inside the house, the two sisters-in-law of the Xing family felt a chill in their hearts.
Although Mrs. Xing did not have much contact with Mrs. Gu, she was still a little embarrassed when she heard that the mistress of the family was persecuted so much and died in peace, so she was sincere at this moment. said something.
"Well done! If these people hadn't kept it secret and refused to retaliate, the sister of the Gu family would not have died tragically. Her position in the family was taken away by her enemies, and the people in your lineage were also wronged, so the fifth room People who deserve to die!"
Even if Mrs. Xing spoke like this, Aunt Xing jumped up and cursed.
"It's really an advantage for them to die like this. If you ask me, you should expose this matter and let them suffer the pain of such a long execution, so that you can avenge your cousin!"
Hearing her words, Mrs. Xing couldn't help coughing twice and said with a reminder.
"The third brother and sister are lying. Is this execution of Lingchi a lynching that can be used in the family? Your Majesty has never used this capital punishment in all the years he has been in power." Du Jingyi also knew that Aunt Xing's attack was a bit serious, so he also held her in check. His temper quickly added.
"I know that my aunt said this because she felt sorry for my mother-in-law who suffered for so many years, but the eldest lady is right. I have always been benevolent and righteous, and there are some things that I cannot say casually."
Aunt Xing also consciously made a mistake, but none of the people present were outsiders, so she remained silent for a while before speaking.
"It's hard to escape the blame for such a crime. The people in the fifth house died unjustly. It's disgusting that Dingping Hou Mansion still wants to make a monster out of this matter. Sister-in-law, what you said today must be under the orders of the elder brother. To put it bluntly, what does the elder brother want? "
Withdrawing from her anger, Aunt Xing quickly told Mrs. Xing's intention. In contrast, Mrs. Xing did not change her mood as quickly as she did.
But now that someone had exposed it, any other talk she had would be meaningless, so she glanced at Du Jingyi and saw that she was also very calm, looking like she was just sitting back and waiting for advice, so she spoke.
"A few days ago, both the master and I suffered a lot of grievances. We thought it was the Marquis Yan of the Earl's Mansion who caused the trouble, but at the end of the investigation, we found out that it was the Marquis of Dingping who manipulated our two families in this way. Don't you just want to pave the way for Concubine Jia in the palace? Seeing that her favor is getting better and better day by day, for the sake of the concubine and the seventh prince, my Xing family naturally has to do something, and I am not afraid I want you to know, Mrs. Gu, if we join forces, Dingpinghou Mansion will definitely be left with nothing to eat."
Her initiative made Du Jingyi quickly understand that Prime Minister Xing was indeed a smart person.
Once you have suffered a loss and been deceived, you will no longer be a target of others.
He can take action, but the General's Mansion can't hide away. Today, Mrs. Xing went on a trip to speak clearly, just to drag the General's Mansion into trouble.
There is no need for the Xing family to stand up for the affairs of the General's Mansion, so the Xing family will naturally get what they want.
For example, the support of the General's Office, or something else.
Seeing this, Aunt Xing was not stupid, and her eyes when looking at Du Jingyi became much more complicated.
As the daughter-in-law of the Xing family, she should have been more oriented towards the Xing family, but for so many years, the couple had been "hiding" in Jinling City and did not want to mix in too much.
But things have reached this point today, and it seems that it is impossible not to move forward.
So, looking at Du Jingyi calmly, although he didn't speak, his meaning was still very clear. If the General's Mansion really wanted to join the Xing family, then they would naturally be on the same side.
"I am a woman. Although I seem to be the master of the general's mansion, it is because the general is not here. If I agree to the eldest lady like this now, I am afraid that the general will blame me if he finds out about it in the future. So, today, you If so, I can only write to the general and ask, and when he gives an explanation, I will naturally reply to you, what do you think?"
Mrs. Xing did not expect Du Jingyi to agree immediately before she came, but with this tone, it was at least much better than before, so she nodded and agreed.
“I told you, I won’t cause any trouble to the General’s Mansion. They are all my relatives. We will discuss the future matters later, and just do the things in front of us well!”
Hearing this, Du Jingyi finally understood. This Prime Minister Xing is indeed a thoughtful person. What he said now is pleasant, and the future matters will be discussed later. (End of chapter)
