Nanny Yue is dead, and the Empress Dowager in the palace will definitely investigate the matter, and the Marquis's Mansion must give an explanation to the Empress Dowager.

There are only three of them as the official masters in the Marquis' Mansion. Apart from the young Marquis Gu Jinyun, the only people who can be used to take the blame are Liu Tianshu, Marquis Hou and her two children.

When Liu Tianshu heard that Hou put the blame on her as soon as they met, she didn't want to take the blame.

"Madam, Nanny Yue was fine when my daughter-in-law left. Now she has suddenly died. We have received the news so quickly. It shows that we are more informed than me, the mistress of the house. What exactly happened? We should let the people in the government investigate it clearly."

When everyone heard that Liu Tianshu was going to hand the matter over to the government for handling, their eyes flickered.

Liu Tianshu stood in the crowd and sneered, "Madam, Nanny Yue sent the drunk Marquis to your yard yesterday, and you let two servants ruin the Marquis's innocence. It's normal for you to hate Nanny Yue..."

When Liu Tianshu heard what happened last night, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she sneered and said, "Madam Liu is wrong. Shouldn't you be the one who hates Nanny Yue the most in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Liu Tianyi's eyes flickered for a moment, and she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Who am I, why should I hate Aunt Yue?"

Liu Tianshu naturally did not miss the flash of panic in Liu Tian'er's eyes.

"Madam Liu was punished by Nanny Yue to be confined to the courtyard and kneel in the courtyard for three hours every day. Would you feel no resentment for such a punishment? In comparison, the little grudge between Nanny Yue and me is not worth mentioning."

Having said that, Liu Tianshu glanced at everyone present, and finally set her gaze on Gu Jinyun, her eyes full of grievance.

"My Lord, we are husband and wife. I am so happy that you came to my courtyard even when you were drunk. How could I hate Nanny Yue for this?"

Gu Jinyun had long forgotten how he got to Wutongju, and even more so, forgot everything that happened last night.

Whenever I thought of Wutongju, my mind involuntarily emerged the scene of myself waking up in the morning, hugging two servants on both sides.

He glared at Liu Tianyi fiercely and warned her coldly, "This matter has passed. No one is allowed to mention it again."

"Yes!"

Having just gained a little favor from Gu Jinyun, Liu Tian'ai didn't want to lose her favor so quickly. Although she was unwilling, she didn't dare to speak again. She just glared at Liu Tianshu fiercely.

Since he no longer had the motive to harm Nanny Yue, Liu Tianshu didn't care what Liu Tian'ai was thinking and grabbed the little maid who was leading him over.

"Ling'er, you and Yu'er are responsible for taking care of Nanny Yue. Do you know who entered the yard today?"

Ling'er was frightened when she was caught by Liu Tianshu and knelt on the ground in panic.

"In reply to Madam, the court doctor came and gave Madam a bowl of medicine, and then Madam Yue died of abdominal pain."

The court doctor was an old man in the Marquis's mansion, and naturally also belonged to the Hou family. When the Hou family heard Ling'er mention the court doctor, they instinctively said, "The court doctor came here to treat Madam Yue. The medicine she sent was..."

Later in the conversation, Hou suddenly realized something and his voice became lower and lower.

"Why don't you continue, old lady?"

Liu Tianshu sneered.

"Madam, Lord Marquis, Nanny Yue was the Queen Mother's right-hand man. She came to the Marquis' Mansion to reorganize it. She suddenly died in our attached middle school. No matter what, we must give the Queen Mother an explanation.

Our government cannot suppress this matter at all, so why not ask the governor of Shuntian to come and investigate this matter directly?"

Hou said firmly: "Family disgrace should not be made public. We can report this matter to the Queen Mother and we must not recruit the governor of Shuntian Prefecture."

"Madam, Nanny Yue is the Queen Mother's right-hand man. Do you think the Queen Mother will easily believe our words?"

"I……"

The person Hou was most afraid of in her life was the Queen Mother. She felt unwilling to accept the thought that the Queen Mother might blame her for Nanny Yue's death.

At this moment, the pharmacy apprentice suddenly ran over crying and knelt directly in front of Hou.

"Madam, it's bad. The court doctor committed suicide in the pharmacy..."

"what?"

All the evidence just now pointed out that Nanny Yue’s death was related to the court physician. Before they even had time to send someone to find the court physician, he committed suicide so quickly.

Two people died in the mansion in one day. The identities of these two people were not ordinary. Neither Hou nor Gu Jinyun had the courage to hide such a big thing.

Seeing that Hou and Gu Jinyun were at a loss, Liu Tianshu made a prompt decision and said, "Uncle Xiang, send someone to invite the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and then send someone to preserve the bodies of Nanny Yue and the palace doctor."

"Only two servants died in the mansion. Why should we report to the authorities..."

Uncle Xiang was also scared to death at this moment. When he heard Liu Tianshu's words, he instinctively wanted to leave, but the moment he turned around, he was stopped by Liu Tian'ai.

Liu Tian'ai had been locked in the yard and only had the chance to go out today. Liu Tianshu couldn't understand why she insisted on not being exposed, but as long as she opposed it, Liu Tianshu would definitely do it.

"Madam Liu, the old lady and the marquis are here, so how can a concubine like you have the right to speak? Hurry up and get out of the way. If you delay the important matter, no one in our house will be able to escape with regret."

After saying that, Liu Tianshu said to Qingshan Guanxue, "Madam Liu is still under house arrest, why don't you bring someone to send her back?"

"Yes!"

Qingshan Guanxue received the order and was about to take Liu Tian'ai away with him, but she quickly hid behind Gu Jinyun.

"My Lord, my sister is so fierce, I am so scared, you must protect me..."

The beauty asked him for help, and Gu Jinyun stood in front of Liu Tian'ai without thinking.

"Liu Tianshu, Aunt Liu is your biological sister after all, how can you treat her like this?"

Facing Gu Jinyun's accusation, Liu Tianshu sneered: "My Lord, every family has its own rules, and every country has its own laws.

According to family rules, as a concubine, Aunt Liu is not allowed to interrupt her master without his permission. Moreover, she is still under house arrest and should not have left Liu Garden.

According to national law, the death of a person in the mansion must be handed over to the government office for investigation. However, he openly blocked the housekeeper from reporting to the authorities. This shows that he does not take human life seriously and is a blatant violation of the laws of the Daliang Kingdom.

My Lord, although Concubine Liu is my biological sister, I cannot break the law knowingly, not to mention that I am only letting her return to Liu Garden to continue her house arrest. "

Liu Tianshu's words were well-reasoned and Gu Jinyun couldn't find any words to refute her for a moment. She could only stare at her unhappily.

"My Lord, it's okay. My sister has always disliked me. Nanny Yue passed away suddenly, and I am also very upset. I will go back to the courtyard and pray for her."

Knowing that Gu Jinyun could not protect him, Liu Tian'ai finished speaking, bowed to Gu Jinyun and Hou, then left with gritted teeth. However, when he turned around, a trace flashed in his eyes.

He gave Qingshan a wink and asked her to follow Liu Tian'er.

After receiving Liu Tianshu's instructions, Qingshan quietly followed...
