"Yes, ma'am." A dozen servants came out.
Mother Liu glanced at Bai Chen from a distance, her face full of guilt.
Because it was she who proposed that the eldest young lady take back the dowry of the eldest young master's mother, but she never expected that things would turn out like this.
In her opinion, the lady was easy to talk to and had a kind heart, so she should give the eldest son's mother the dowry.
After all, the eldest son’s family already has a successor!
Adopted children are also a kind of incense!
Now that the eldest son has a successor, it also means that the late lady has a successor.
But now it seems that I took it for granted. My wife is not as kind-hearted as she appears to be.
She wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of the eldest young lady.
When the servants were about to leave, Mother Liu stood out from the crowd.
"Madam, I will go with them to search."
"Oh?" Qin snorted and looked at Mother Liu with squinted eyes, without making any comment.
"I will go and bear witness to this."
"What kind of testimony can you provide if you go?" Lord Qi also said, "How about this, Steward Wu and Steward Zhou go with us."
Manager Wu and Manager Zhou are both his capable subordinates, and they always give people the impression of being upright and fair.
If they go together and find poison, it will be more convincing.
After all, the Hou family didn't want to be known for bullying widows, so everything had to be based on facts.
Steward Zhou and Steward Wu received the order and quickly stepped forward, "It's the Marquis!"
Ten servants, Mama Liu, Steward Zhou, and Steward Wu set out in a mighty procession.
Qin narrowed her eyes and stared at Bai Chen, who was trembling with fear, with a half-smile. It seemed that she had already expected that she could find the poison.
Bai Chen seemed to be so frightened by Qin's look that he had no strength left in his body and fell to his knees on the ground.
"Mother-in-law, it's not like that. It's unfair! I didn't poison you. I really didn't. Wuwuwuwu."
"It's unfair. You're still stubborn even when you're about to die." Qin's mouth curled up in a resentful arc.
You could have lived, but you were too ambitious and even wanted to take Qi Xuan's assets into your own hands.
The way you eat is so ugly.
So, sorry, it's better for you to die.
The Marquis and his three children were of course indifferent to Bai Chen's pleas.
Originally, she was an outsider, with no identity and no background. Even if she was killed immediately, no one would support her.
She was essentially a woman who had been sold by her family.
This kind of woman of low status, living under their noses, is particularly annoying.
Therefore, it seems that it is not a bad development for the matter to develop in this way. In this way, the outsiders who do not belong to this family and are an eyesore can be eliminated with justification.
"Husband, husband, save me, they bullied me and wronged me. If you are still alive, please save me. Didn't you say that you and I were a loving couple in our previous life
Please, save me, woo woo woo."
Bai Chen was "too desperate" and began to helplessly call for her husband in heaven again.
Hundreds of people in the hall were stunned by Bai Chen's words. He was really good at making up stories. He actually said that he and the eldest master were husband and wife in their previous life.
Do you think you can escape the blame this way
They really underestimated the Pingchang Marquisate. How could the Pingchang Marquisate, which has always been known for its fairness and strictness, let her off the hook for stealing just because of the few words she shouted
Except for the two people sitting in the main seats, everyone thought Bai Chen was talking nonsense.
Qin and Lord Qi were both determined by the words "loving couple in their previous lives".
No wonder the eldest son is so interested in this country girl. He has never even met her, so he should have no feelings for her at all.
But even though the eldest son had already ascended to heaven, he was still thinking about her.
This is so abnormal.
Now they finally understood that their love was not just for this life!
Lord Qi rubbed his cheeks in distress and looked at Qin again.
The two have been in love for many years, and they can tell what the other person is saying just by looking at each other.
We are in perfect harmony and understand each other.
Even if she was the eldest son's wife in the previous life, she could not be kept. Things had come to this point, and someone had to take the blame.
Although there was no one from above to suppress them in the Marquis' Mansion, there were hundreds of eyes watching them.
It's impossible to let it go.
Therefore, Ji Jiuyue must be the one to take the blame.
Lord Qi looked up to the ceiling, as if he was communicating with his son.
I'm sorry, son, she was the one who made the mistake.
Who made her so greedy
The Qi family had no shortage of food or clothes for her, but she was so greedy that she wanted to keep a large amount of wealth in her hands.
What kind of place is a marquis's mansion? How could it be allowed to be controlled by a lowly country girl
At most, we won't kill her, but will drive her out of the house.
Saving her life is already the most we can do.
"Whether you are wronged or not, we will know once we investigate. Just wait and see." Qin narrowed her eyes coldly and stared at the ceiling subconsciously. She wanted to see how Qi Xuan could save her.
Should he come down to earth in person, or convey his father's wishes from afar
What followed was waiting. For a moment, hundreds of people didn't dare to make a sound. It was unusually quiet, and there felt like a storm was about to come.
About half an hour later, the servants finally came back.
Mother Liu also gave Bai Chen a subtle wink.
Why did Bai Chen promote Mother Liu to be the manager of Chenxu Courtyard
Of course there is a reason.
Because, during the conversation between Bai Chen and the eldest master, he asked about the specific situation of the servants in the mansion.
Then I learned that Mother Liu used to be a maid of his mother, Tan.
Although she was only a third-class maid at that time, she was a very smart and likable girl.
Tan discovered this good seedling and planned to train her well, and even taught her to read personally.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Tan died too early, and Mother Liu passed away before she could be promoted.
Later, because Mother Liu was literate, she had an advantage over other maids and was appreciated by Qin.
However, she refused Qin's promotion on the grounds of her illness.
Afterwards, she was always a marginal figure in the Hou Mansion.
Such a person should not be the Qin Dynasty's eyes and ears.
Besides, the eldest son's mother had done her some favors. If she was a person who knew how to repay her gratitude, she would not do such a disloyal thing in Chenxu Courtyard.
When you have no one available, you can only use someone who is relatively reliable.
Also brought by the servants was the maid Chunjuan.
This morning, in the entire Hou Mansion, only one servant was left to guard each courtyard, and everyone else came to the main courtyard.
Chunjuan is the servant who stayed behind in Chenxuyuan.
One of the servants said, "My Lord, we found poison in this woman's cabinet."
When Qin saw who the maid who was brought up was, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, because she was her trusted maid, which many people knew.
"Madam, madam, please save me!" When Chunjuan saw Qin, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw and fell to her feet crying.
"I have already put the poison into the eldest young lady's cabinet. I have already completed my mission."
