[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Chapter 236 The Most Softhearted Grandmother in the World

After seeing Yun Hai off, Rong Enqing said to Zhang: "You should go back as well. Just live your own carefree life like before. Don't do unnecessary things."

"Yes." Zhang also stood up and said goodbye and left.

"When you leave, take your people with you," Rong Enqing reminded.

"Yes." Zhang agreed, went out, and took Chunping away from the crowd kneeling in the yard.

The next day, Rong Enqing heard that Chunping was married to Zhang on the farm that she came with as a dowry.

Of course, these are all things to follow.

After Zhang left, only Yun Ye and Song were left in the hall to accompany Rong Enqing.

This time, Rong Enqing spoke without any fear.

"Song, I will ask Manager Hu to bring some good men with you back. You know the situation in the mansion better than I do. I will also give you the right to deal with all the servants in the mansion. Who can be kept, who can be sold, who needs to be dealt with quietly... I will not ask about these. I only have one request."

Rong Enqing said solemnly: "From now on, you must ensure that everyone in the second house is under your control! Can you do it?"

Song swallowed her saliva and nodded solemnly: "Yes! But, Yun Hao and Aunt Jiang..."

Rong Enqing said sternly, "I might as well tell you the truth. Yun Hao has been courting death! He thought that his contact with the rebellious forces was very secretive? Haha, in fact, he has long been on the death list of the emperor. It's just the difference between dying early and dying late. I am just sending him to the underworld to meet his father in advance."

Song looked at Rong Enqing in astonishment. She had hesitated whether to tell Rong Enqing secretly about these things, but in the end, for the sake of the children, she chose to conceal it. But she didn't expect that Rong Enqing already knew about it. And from what Rong Enqing said, it was obvious that he knew more than she did.

As if this was not exciting enough, Rong Enqing took a deep look at Song and continued, "Not only do I know this, I also know that your family is also involved with Yun Yi's treasonous forces. If His Majesty had not been so ambitious and did not want to alert the enemy so easily, your family would have been charged with treason and the entire clan would have been exterminated. Instead of listing some insignificant crimes and executing all the adult men, you let the women and children of your family escape and were only sentenced to exile."

Hearing these words, Song couldn't help but tremble, and her face turned pale.

Rong Enqing did not comfort Song. On the contrary, she said this on purpose. She wanted Song to know that her every move was watched by her and the emperor. She wanted to make her fearful and cautious. Only in this way, Song would not become arrogant and impetuous after taking control of the second house and do things that were not governed properly.

Seeing that the shock was almost over, Rong Enqing changed the subject and continued, "So, whether for yourself or for the children, you must not let Yun Hao live any longer. As for Jiang, take good care of her. At least let her lie in bed for half a year before telling her the news of Yun Hao's death. At that time, it will be up to her to choose whether to live or die."

It would be better if both mother and son did not die at once. That would attract too much attention. It would be better if they died quietly, one by one.

"I understand. Please rest assured, mother, I know what to do."

After hearing Rong Enqing clearly arrange the death of Jiang's mother and son, Song's troubled heart calmed down a little. At the same time, she also gathered her energy.

Two months passed, and Yun Hao was sent away.

After half a year, Jiang was sent away.

From now on, the second room will belong entirely to her and her children!

She no longer had to be coerced by Yun Hao, and no longer had to endure Jiang's torture... As for treason and things in the longer term, she couldn't think too much about them.

Through the things that happened in the past few months, she has already understood that the Madam is trying to save herself. She wants to lead the people in the Marquis' Mansion to break free from Yun Yi's rebellion.

What she had to do was to follow the steps of the Madam and obey her arrangements. The rest was up to fate.

"Okay, you can go back too. Pack up, and I'll have someone send you and the kids back later. You should first take care of the people in the mansion in Lin'anfang, and then come to pick up Jiang and Yunhao. Let them stay in the mansion for the next few days."

"Yes." Song stood up and said goodbye and prepared to leave.

"Are you still able to hold on?" Rong Enqing finally asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, mother. I'm fine. Don't worry, mother. I will be able to take complete control of the second house within three days." Song's tone revealed an unprecedented firmness.

Rong Enqing nodded with satisfaction. Song bowed and left.

Only Rong Enqing and Yun Ye were left in the hall.

Rong Enqing let out a long breath, smiled, and said in a teasing tone: "Grandma said that she would find the real culprit and give you an explanation. Are you satisfied with the current result?"

Yun Ye pursed his lips and looked deeply at Rong Enqing. After a long while, he said, "Grandma, you actually want to save Yun Ai, Yun Ying, Yun Hui... and even Yun Shi, right?"

Rong Enqing was stunned.

Then Yun Ye continued, "I can see that grandma is the softest-hearted grandma in the world! You can't bear to leave me, and you can't bear to leave all your other grandchildren."

Rong Enqing looked at Yun Ye with mixed feelings, "You are all still children, each of you is unique, and each of you is so cute. Grandma can't bear to see any of you get hurt. But, you must believe in grandma, you will always be the first one in grandma's heart."

"Yes. I believe grandma." Yun Ye finally smiled.

At this time, Madam Gong came in to report, "Madam, Mrs. Wu on the back corridor has been captured. I interrogated her and found out that she was someone left behind by housekeeper Old Li. It was she who deliberately revealed to Madam that the eldest master left home because he had a quarrel with Madam. It was also she who told He Zizhong about the problems with the expansion of Baishou Hall, so He Zizhong asked Meixiang to come to Madam to inquire about the news.

"Not only that, Wu Po also controls many insignificant maids in the mansion. The two maids responsible for poisoning this time are her subordinates."

Rong Enqing suddenly realized something. She asked where she had heard of this person. It turned out that Nanshan had mentioned him when he was helping her get information.

Then, Rong Enqing's expression changed, "Besides the two maids who poisoned the food, have you found out who else did it?"

Madam Gong shook her head, "No. This woman was obviously strictly trained. I tried all the torture methods in the palace, but couldn't make her open her mouth. Finally, I brought her granddaughter Fang'er to her to threaten her. As a result, she bit the poison hidden in her teeth and died on the spot.

"I checked, and the poison is the same as the one put into the bowls of the young marquis and his wife."

Rong Enqing sighed, feeling heavy in his heart. Wu Po and the two maids who poisoned her were all dead.

Apart from knowing that they were people left behind by Butler Old Li, the others lurking in the mansion knew nothing.

Even the famous brand name of He Zizhong is dead.

"Forget it. Let's bury the person." Rong Enqing thought for a moment, looked outside the door and said, "All those who participated in this poisoning incident will be dealt with, leaving no one alive."

"Yes."
