The Zheng Palace was in a state of bustle and chaos. Madam Kong was also in a state of great confusion. It was as if a hundred gongs and drums were beating in her heart at the same time, making a very loud noise. She hurried out of the Zheng Palace. For a moment she felt that the sunlight in the sky was so bright that she could not open her eyes. It took her a while to remember what she should do, and she went to the Dingbei Marquis Palace in a daze.
When she arrived at the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, she sat in the gatehouse for a long time.
When the doorman inside saw that it was Madam Kong, the favorite of the Third Madam, he was as happy as if she had fallen from the sky and served tea and water to her like a close relative.
However, Madam Kong had no mood to deal with it. After sitting for a while and finally calming her mind, she made an excuse that something happened at home and went out through the corner door.
She couldn't tell the Third Madam and Old Lady Wei now. If she did, she would definitely be questioned about many details.
She has figured it out these past few days. Since she has already done something wrong, it is impossible to turn back. Even if she could turn back, the Third Madam would not forgive her.
I had no choice but to follow this path until the end, at least the children could still get some benefits.
As for herself? She sneered as she walked. She had already made up her mind to die. The Third Madam had been so good to her, and she had implicated the Third Madam. She felt so bad about it that she had no choice but to die to atone for her sin.
But before that, we still have to get things done first.
She hurried back home, closed the door, drank a sip of tea and went out again, walked all the way to an alley and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and a strange face appeared. He asked her in a hoarse and impatient voice, "Who are you looking for?"
She was a little anxious and said, "I'm looking for..." As soon as she finished speaking, she remembered what Zou Qing had said before, that she was not allowed to mention his name, so she changed her mouth: "I have something to do, it's... the palace..."
The man frowned at her, quickly reached out and pulled her into the door, then closed the door in the blink of an eye.
Madam Kong almost fell down. She turned back to look at him and immediately said, "Go and inform your superiors that she is dead... Princess Shouning is dead!"
The rough man stared at her suspiciously for a moment before finally speaking again: "Are you serious?"
This news cannot have any errors - once it is confirmed that Princess Shouning is really dead, they will have to deal with the aftermath immediately.
For example, for those who poisoned the people, their families must be arranged, those who are sent away must be sent away immediately without leaving any traces, and those who know about the situation must also be killed.
They had to put the blame on someone and transfer the blame to the King of Linjiang who was at odds with Shen Chen.
When Madam Kong recalled that scene, she trembled with fear, nodded affirmatively, and confirmed with him again and again: "It's true. At that time, the old doctor Kong Gongfeng came and said that there was no hope for him. He asked us to prepare funeral materials. The Marquis of Pingxi was very angry and almost went crazy... He must have realized something was wrong soon..."
Yes, he will definitely realize something is wrong soon. Everyone knows how much Shen Chen cares about Wei An, and they know that he can do anything for Wei An.
Wei An is dead, and the person who poisoned him committed suicide. If he was a little calmer, even if he was not calm enough, once reminded by Young Master Lin or Chu Jingwu, he would know that Nanny Kong went there too frequently and at too timely a time, and they would definitely investigate.
The man groaned, touched his chin, looked at Madam Kong with ill intent and smiled: "In that case..."
Before he finished speaking, he quickly pulled out a knife from behind and stabbed it towards Grandma Kong.
Grandma Kong will not be able to walk out of here alive today. If Shen Chen finds out that she is missing, he will be more certain that she is related. Only by killing her can he eliminate the trouble forever.
Grandma Kong was so frightened that she couldn't dodge in time. She subconsciously stepped back and fell to the ground.
The man missed his attack and immediately pounced on Madam Kong on the ground.
Grandma Kong was so frightened that her legs went limp and she couldn't even stand up, let alone dodge. She screamed and collapsed to the ground.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Grandma Kong screamed and reacted. While the man was stunned, she crawled up.
The man glared at her, but he was not worried that she would run away. He took a few steps forward and listened to the noise outside for a while, then asked cautiously, "Who?"
"Looking for fugitives!" The man outside the house seemed a little impatient and shouted at the top of his voice: "The day before yesterday, there was a thief in Mr. Wang's house at the end. They said that your yard has been uninhabited for a long time, but recently there have been people coming and going. We came to take a look! Open the door quickly!"
A fierce look flashed across the man's face, but he immediately calmed down when he heard the banging on the door.
We can't make any noise at this time, those yamen runners should be easy to deal with...
He gestured to Madam Kong to keep quiet, thought for a while, then gently opened the door a crack and said with a cautious smile, "We are all old residents who have lived here in the past. We just went to Baoding Prefecture to stay with relatives for a while... How could they be thieves... "
"Is that so? Open the door first!" The man outside said impatiently, "Don't make things difficult for us!"
He was not wearing the uniform of a yamen runner, but his tone and figure did make him look like an official. The man was afraid that if more people came, things would get out of hand, so he opened the door reluctantly. He greeted him as he entered the room and said with a smile: "Look, this room is so small, where can we hide people? It's just me and my wife..."
As he was speaking, the man exclaimed, "Isn't this Mrs. Kong?!"
As he spoke, he opened his eyes wide, looking at the dumbfounded Madam Kong and the momentarily stunned man, and then he looked around and frowned: "Your wife?! Madam Kong, you are so dishonest, you cheated on my brother and did not follow your husband's ways..."
Grandma Kong was completely frightened!
How could this be a government official? It was actually Xue Song!
She had almost lost her life before, and now when she saw Xuesong, she didn't know whether she was happy or sad for a moment. She stood there unable to utter a word.
Xuesong ignored her and walked up to her, grabbed her and sneered, "Come on! Let's go and talk to my brother. I usually see you taking care of your husband and children, but you are such a person..."
The man was stunned by the series of unexpected events. He wanted to rush forward to snatch the man, but he was afraid that he was a government official, so he didn't dare to move. After a while, he said, "This..."
Madam Kong was dragged and staggered out. She was very confused for a moment and didn't know what to do when she heard the man behind her shouting sinisterly.
She couldn't help but retract her hand and look back.
"What he said is that you should also consider your husband and son." The man looked at her sinisterly and sneered: "I didn't know you had a family before." (To be continued)
