After all, what is being investigated at this moment is not Qi Er’s future and past, but why he died?
Shang Yu'an's words actually made Du Jingyi laugh without saying a word.
When she looked at him, her eyes were full of inquiry.
He is obviously not even 10 years old, but he has such an ability to see into people's hearts.
Du Jingyi really impressed Wufangren and Dongyuan this time.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shang Yu'an felt a little calmer.
Seeing this, the fifth old man on the ground also started struggling again.
It's a pity that he wanted to continue to be aggressive, but Li Zhu suppressed him firmly.
Even if he wanted to say it, he wouldn't have a chance to say it.
At this time, it was Shang Wulang who came out with a sigh of relief.
He asked Du Jingyi.
"That's right, why are you talking about those old things? First, why did Qi Er's manager die? Why did Liu Lang want to punish him with a stick?"
Hearing this, Du Jingyi stopped smiling and said in a serious tone to Shang Yuan and Shang Wulang.
"How presumptuous, are you worthy of calling me General Liulang? Not to mention that he is now your Majesty's personal general. Even according to the rules in the Duke's Mansion, you should respectfully call me Young Master and open your mouth.
Those who keep silent must be held accountable, Shogoro, are you afraid you want to get slapped?"
"you!"
Shang Wulang was so shocked by Du Jingyi's rebuke that all his internal organs moved out of place and his seven orifices started to smoke.
I almost didn't pout.
But he really couldn't come back.
After all, what Du Jingyi said is absolutely right.
Given his status, he absolutely cannot be called that.
But in the past, no one in the family called him that, and I got used to it after going back and forth.
But habits are habits, and the laws and regulations of the country and the family are here to stay.
Even if he wanted to make trouble, he couldn't make trouble!
Seeing that his son was deflated, Shang Yu'an couldn't stand it anymore.
He narrowed his eyes and said angrily to Du Jingyi.
"Wu Lang is not worthy of calling him, so what about me, my uncle? Should I kneel down and kowtow to him when I see him?"
Du Jingyi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.
"For Fourth Uncle to have such an enlightenment, it shows that he is smart. Finally, there is someone in the Fifth House lineage with eyes."
"you!"
Both father and son were speechless.
My eyes widened, but I couldn't say anything.
He was very aggressive when he came, but now he has been detained and his words are blocked.
It actually made the people in the fifth house completely lose their face.
When Wulang's wife saw this, she tried her old trick again.
He said "Ouch" and when he saw this, he fell asleep on the ground again and started howling and crying in sympathy.
Unfortunately, before she could say her next words, she heard Du Jingyi smile at her.
"Fifth sister-in-law is also going to be a mother. You said that this child is destined to have a good future when he is born. Whether it is a daughter's marriage or a man's success in the world, he must have the help of his family. But if he will be born, he will have a good future.
My uncle and aunt, who are the most capable, have been greatly offended, and I don’t know what the outcome will be in the future, right?"
In just one sentence, Wu Lang's wife's life was strangled to death.
Her mouth opened wide, but she was so stunned that she didn't dare to say a word.
He held his stomach tightly with both hands, but tears welled up from his eyes bit by bit.
It's quite like the home of an innocent daughter who was forced into prostitution.
The fourth lady next to her, Mrs. Ni, had long been frightened and trembling violently.
If it weren't for the fear that something might happen to the child in her daughter-in-law's belly, she would have fainted and died.
I can still hold on at this moment, completely in one breath.
The people from the fifth house who came to pick a fight all shut up, and then Du Jingyi stood up.
His expression changed, and he returned to his past calm and indifferent appearance.
He said to Shang Yuan and Shang Wulang.
"Secretary Qi's hands and feet were unclean. He stole the master's things and took away the stolen property, so he was punished by the general with a cane. However, he himself had poor health and died within a few seconds. How can you blame the general for this?
On the head, don’t you think so, fourth uncle? Fifth cousin?”
She was calling more cordially now, and even her expression was much more lively and innocent than before.
Those who didn't know better thought she had always looked like this.
But there was a suppressed fifth old man lying on the ground, and two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sitting there who dared not say a word. Shang Yu'an had a hundred words to say, but he couldn't say them at the moment.
Seeing that he remained silent, Du Jingyi walked up to Shang Wulang.
Then he said very politely.
"The general is kind-hearted. Now that something happened at home, he specifically asked me to take a hundred taels of silver from his private treasury to help Qi Er handle the posthumous affairs. This is considered a master-servant relationship, but I am a concubine.
The woman has never seen much of the world, so naturally she can’t handle it well.”
"I wonder if my fifth cousin is willing to bother? Don't ask the servants of the Duke's Mansion and the uninformed outsiders to say that we, the masters, are mean? Right?"
Give him a slap and a sweet date.
Shang Wulang didn't want to keep his head down, but Du Jingyi opened his mouth and asked for one hundred taels of silver.
You know, for a person with five houses, this money can be enough for food and clothing for several months if they save some money.
If Qi Er dies, he will die, and it is already good if he can get three or two taels of silver to take care of his funeral affairs.
As for the rest, naturally it belongs to their fifth house.
When they heard one hundred taels, the eyes of everyone in the other five rooms lit up.
Even though I have lived in the Duke's mansion for so many years, I can't develop such a thing as vision.
That greedy face really shows everyone from the fifth old man to the fifth son's wife.
But the more it is like this, Du Jingyi also likes it.
After all, using money to manipulate these people is the easiest thing for her.
It's just a hundred taels of silver, but it can buy Dongyuan peace for three to five months.
This deal is a good deal.
Seeing that Shang Wulang was hesitant, Du Jingyi looked at Wulang's wife who was still sitting on the ground.
He said pretending to be concerned.
"Ah, why is fifth sister-in-law still sitting on the ground? Get up quickly. It's autumn now. Be careful to catch a cold. Winter is coming soon. You are pregnant again. If you don't have something good to eat, or some thick clothes to protect you,
Wait, I'm afraid the child is going to suffer, right, fifth cousin?"
After all, the biggest weakness of Wufang people is their bloodline.
If you hold on to this, you won't have to worry about them not letting go.
Sure enough, her words had just fallen.
Then Shang Yu'an regained his composure and said.
"What Liulang's wife said is that if Qi Er gets into trouble, he will naturally be punished with a stick, but this person is gone after all, so he only needs some money to get rid of him. I'm afraid outsiders will say that we use money to buy our lives!
"
"Besides, it's not appropriate for Wuro to be a white man, so it's not appropriate to ask him to do these things. He's afraid that outsiders will look down on him. Wouldn't this also affect Liulang... Oh no, the reputation of the general? You think so?
