MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 558 poisoned

“One hundred thousand taels, why didn’t you just say go and grab it?”

 Mother Dou was also a housekeeper, so she naturally knew that one hundred thousand taels was not a small amount, so she immediately cursed when she heard this.

The face of Wulang's wife was pale and blue. She wanted to lose her temper, but she also knew that if she angered Du Jingyi and his servants, they would not be able to get the money, so she sat down with a grin on her face, as if waiting for Du Jingyi to speak.

Du Jingyi chuckled lightly and said to Butler He.

 “Can I, Butler He, please go over and bring me the banknote and give it to Sister-in-law Five?”

She agreed very lightly, which made Wulang's wife a little unconvinced, so she swallowed her saliva and said.

 “You...you don’t bargain?”

Du Jingyi looked at her quite funny and said.

"Why should I bargain? It's only a hundred thousand taels. Compared with the cause of my mother-in-law's death, it's nothing. Tell me, what did you hear?"

Wu Lang's wife looked at her suspiciously, as if she wouldn't say anything more if she didn't have enough money. Du Jingyi also ordered someone to serve tea. She drank it without a sip, but she was very calm and relaxed.

Steward He worked quickly and quickly brought over a hundred thousand taels of silver notes.

 Fortunately, although the money was a lot, it was nothing in the general's account, so he took the banknote and handed it to Wulang's wife, and then said.

"You can get it from the four major banks in Sui'an City, but if the fifth lady wants to use it out of town, she can only go to Huitai Bank."

Wulang's daughter-in-law had never received such a large amount of money since she was born, so when she counted them, she felt like a windfall from heaven, so she quickly put the money in her arms, for fear that Du Jingyi would regret it and give it to her again. Grabbed it back.

“Now, the fifth sister-in-law is willing to say it.”

 “Tell me, of course I want to say it.”

"You must be aware of the fact that the second uncle was exiled. Yesterday, the family was discussing how to help the second uncle so that he could get some care on his way to exile. But you also know that Wu Fang is going to fight since then. Things haven't gone smoothly since I moved out of the Duke's Mansion. Nowadays, it's hard to find connections to connect with people. So my father-in-law and your fifth brother took this idea to the Dingping Marquis' Mansion, saying they wanted to exchange this secret. , I’ll come back in exchange for some future for the fifth room.”

She spoke slowly, and Grandma Dou was a little impatient, but there was no good way to do it at the moment. She could only suppress her temper and listen, and then she saw her opening her mouth to talk about what happened back then.

"When the eldest aunt came into the mansion, Mrs. Wei soon became the eldest uncle's concubine. They lived in peace for more than ten years. However, after the eldest brother succeeded to the position of the young prince in the Duke's mansion, My eldest aunt began to feel a little uncomfortable. At first she just took two simple pills, but gradually she started taking pills every now and then. The reason was that Mrs. Wei poisoned her head in her yard."

 Poison? !

Butler He and Aunt Dou were both in disbelief when they heard this. At that time, they were in charge of the entire Duke's Mansion, especially Mrs. Gu's yard. They were all carefully checked, how could it be possible that someone had poisoned them and they didn't know anything about it?

"You're talking nonsense. We are always careful, especially after my wife became ill. We searched the yard many times. How could we not find him?"

Wu Lang's wife sneered and said.

“Isn’t that where you are searching here and there? Have you ever thought that there is something wrong with Auntie’s shoes?”

shoe? This sentence confused Grandma Dou, so she recalled it quickly.

“That’s impossible. We have carefully inspected the clothes, shoes and socks of the lady at that time. There is nothing wrong with her.”

"The medicine that Mrs. Wei gave is not something that can kill people right away. Naturally, it is very light. Just a little bit every time. Sprinkle it into the shoes without leaving a trace in the wind. Day after day, every time the eldest aunt wears it, The shoes can slowly penetrate the whole body through the soles of the feet, so in the end they will bleed to death."

When the words "death with blood" were spoken, Grandma Dou took two steps back in shock.

She naturally knew that when Mrs. Gu died in the end, she just couldn't stop the bleeding.

Every time menstruation takes longer and longer, the body gradually becomes depleted of energy and blood every day. Under such circumstances, no matter how much medicine they use, they can't cure the root cause.

Therefore, she always thought that Madam had stagnation of Qi and blood, and then received the news of the death of her son and everyone in the family one after another, so she could not bear to die. However, she did not expect that she was actually drugged to this point. The more she thought about it, she became resentful, so she still Du Jingyi said fiercely before he could speak.

"Mrs. Wei can't stay in our yard every day. Who did she bribe? Who poisoned her? Tell me!"

 “It’s Jiayun.”

Jiayun was a maidservant in the courtyard who served Mrs. Gu after she married into the Duke's Mansion. She had never served her in person, so she was able to poison her, which was something Mother Dou didn't expect.

"How could it be her? She has never even entered the inner courtyard."

"Na Jiayun was bribed by Mrs. Wei a long time ago. Every time when she was cleaning the shoes for her eldest aunt, she sprinkled a little of that powder into them. Over the years, all the shoes you can think of were poisoned by her. After that, aunt naturally won’t be able to bear it.”

When Mother Dou heard this, she immediately remembered many things in the past. Indeed, as Wulang's wife said, Mrs. Gu had at least a hundred pairs of shoes, so she was kept under separate supervision.

Jiayun didn't have anything to do with her at first, but over the years she behaved very honestly, so from time to time she would follow suit to deal with the uppers of shoes. She didn't expect that it would be like this, so she started wailing all of a sudden.

“Madam, it’s my fault that this old slave couldn’t help you. He failed to catch Jiayun, a rip-off, and caused you to die without a cure. This old slave is guilty!”

She cried so hard that Du Jingyi felt distressed after hearing this, so he quickly asked a few women to come in and send her down to rest. Then he turned to look at Wulang's wife, her expression became much more serious, and then asked in a deep voice road.

"My mother-in-law was poisoned. When did you, the fifth brother, know about it?"

Goro’s wife panicked for a moment, but quickly told the truth.

 “You still remember Manager Qi Er, right?”

Du Jingyi nodded.

"He accidentally saw Jia Yun sneaking around with a bag, so he told his grandfather and father-in-law about it. After investigating for half a year, they discovered that Jia Yun was actually Mrs. Wei's person. , and later took this matter to make a deal with Mrs. Wei, and took out one hundred thousand taels of silver from the accounting office back then as hush money, so our five-room life was very good in those years!"
