The bodyguard's poisoning case was solved on the second day. The murderer was surprisingly found to be the concubine of Pingyao Marquis. This concubine was also the maidservant who came with the marriage of Pingyao Marquis' wife and was personally carried to Pingyao Marquis.
It is said that this escort was somewhat related to the aunt, and her original intention was to let the escort discredit Yu Sangning's innocence, but she did not expect something went wrong, and in a panic she bumped into the old lady who was alone by the pool.
The reason why Yu Sangning was able to appear in time was because he was abducted by this escort.
"The wife of Marquis Pingyao is so vicious." Zi Yu found out the whole story and told it to cheer up Shen Xihe.
In fact, Shen Xihe didn't like to hear these secrets of the inner chambers, but she didn't stop them. She just hoped that Zi Yu and others would know more about what kind of filthy and dirty places the noble houses in Kyoto were. The more they heard, the more knowledge they would gain.
"What evidence did the Dali Temple find?" Hongyu asked.
"There is gold given by the aunt. This aunt likes to use secret codes on her money." Zi Yu said, "She was interrogated overnight and confessed. She also committed suicide by taking poison in the cell early this morning."
Shen Xihe sat nearby, adding the finishing touches to the handkerchief and completing the embroidery of the fairy belt.
"How old was the Miss Yu the day before yesterday?" Shen Xihe suddenly asked.
"She is the same age as the princess and has already reached the age of marriage." Zi Yu answered.
Shen Xihe was born in winter and would not reach marriage age until the end of the year.
"Looks young." She thought Yu Sangning was only twelve or thirteen years old that day. "She is meticulous and ruthless."
"Princess..." Biyu's eyelids jumped, "You mean..."
"She is a concubine's daughter who has reached the age of marriage. Even if her mother-in-law is an eyesore, no one can find fault with her in terms of marriage. Why does she need a concubine to help?"
Shen Xihe retracted the thread and unfolded the handkerchief to take a closer look. "After this incident, the wife of Pingyao Hou jumped to the point where the aunt could not escape the charge of murdering the concubine's daughter. She also saved the old lady and went from being alone and helpless to being loved by the old lady. This also pierced a thorn in the heart of Pingyao Hou."
"The princess is saying... all of this was set up by Miss Yu herself!" Zi Yu couldn't help swallowing when she heard this.
"The escort was poisoned by the Guanyin Lotus, and Miss Yu has the scent of the Guanyin Lotus on her body." Shen Xihe nodded slightly.
Shen Xihe has had a keen sense of smell since childhood, and this is something that all her personal maids know.
Zi Yu's scalp tingled: "Luckily, the whole of Kyoto is now sympathizing with this Miss Yu."
"This is also one of her purposes." Shen Xihe smiled faintly, "No matter how many people secretly make fun of Lady Pingyao, the girls will not easily accept a foreign concubine's daughter. After this incident, there will definitely be people who sympathize with her. It will no longer be difficult for her to get to know the girls in Kyoto in the future."
By getting to know girls of status, you can get to know young men and make plans for the future.
"Princess... Ziyu is so scared..." Ziyu's face was filled with panic. Everyone in Kyoto was so scary. She wanted to flee!
"What are you afraid of?" Biyu poked her forehead again, "You have the princess protecting you."
Shen Xihe also said to Ziyu in a gentle voice: "What do they have to be afraid of? The most frightening person is sitting in front of you."
I thought Ziyu would be more scared, but unexpectedly, Ziyu reacted differently: "Yes, yes, the princess is the smartest and can see through her tricks at a glance!"
