Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen
Chapter 3: Clean up the best and thoroughly investigate the person who poisoned
The people in the room didn't expect that Feng Qingluan, who was supposed to be in the palace, would appear in Songhe Hall. They were all dumbfounded.
Feng Zheng from the second room said unhappily, "Qingluan, you didn't serve in the Prince's Mansion on the wedding night. What are you doing back at the Marquis' Mansion? Are there any rules?"
Nanny Qin wiped the blood from the corner of Madam Hou's mouth and saw that Feng Qingluan's eyes were wet.
"Miss, you're back. The old lady is so angry with them that she's vomiting blood again..."
Feng Qingluan walked to the bedside. Old Madam Hou had already fainted. After taking her pulse, Feng Qingluan saw a hint of hostility between her brows.
"How dare you poison my grandmother!"
There is a kind of poison in Madam Hou's body. If stimulated, the poison will spread and the person will die in three months at most or half a month at least.
Pan Yulian covered her mouth in surprise and looked at Feng Chun and Chai Roujing from the third room. "How could this happen? Who wants to poison the old lady?"
Feng Chun said: "This matter has nothing to do with our Third House, Second Sister-in-law, don't make random guesses and arouse suspicion!"
Pan Yulian replied sarcastically: "I didn't say it was you, why are you so anxious? Did you do something wrong and have a guilty conscience?"
Chai Roujing said: "Second sister-in-law, don't spit blood on me!"
While the two parties were arguing, Feng Qingluan took out a gold needle from the medical room to disinfect it and sealed Old Man Hou's heart meridian, then took out a silver needle and inserted it into several acupuncture points on her chest and wrist.
With the help of silver needles, some color returned to Madam Hou's face.
Nanny Qin was watching from the side. The eldest lady seemed very good at acupuncture. When did she learn this medical skill?
Seeing that Feng Qingluan had brought Madam Hou under control, Pan Yulian was surprised that she knew medical skills. She stopped arguing with Chai Roujing and said to Feng Qingluan in a fair and strict manner:
"Qingluan, the old lady vomited blood today. She must have eaten something unclean. Who is planning to murder the old lady? Just search the mansion and you will find out!"
Feng Chun said, "Search if you want! Everyone knows that you want to fight for the title by relying on your son's position as a sixth-rank vanguard in the Western Suburbs Camp. You are unwilling to let my third branch be the head of the family and want to slander us for taking over the Marquisate. Don't be delusional. No one can slander me for something my third branch has not done!"
Feng Qingluan was almost laughing out of anger, and looked at the few people:
"Do you think you are so important when I call you uncle and aunt? How can you, the two illegitimate children of the two families who are desperately begging for food, get to make decisions here? The master of the Marquis's Mansion is still here, how can you have a say?"
Feng Zheng and Feng Chun were both born to Old Master Hou's concubines.
Chai Roujing's face turned grim when she heard Feng Qingluan say this:
"Qingluan, your words are too harsh. After all, we are all your elders. A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. You can't make the decision about the Marquis's Mansion!"
"Snapped!"
A slap landed on Chai Roujing's face.
Feng Qingluan said, "I can't make the decision, but you can? You are just a parasite living under someone else's roof, who do you think you are?"
Chai Roujing relied on her status as the original owner's elder to act tyrannically in the Marquis' Mansion.
Not only her, but also Feng Chun and those from the second house, bullied the real masters of the Marquis' Mansion, an old man and a young boy, who could not control them. Subconsciously, they had already regarded themselves as the masters of the Marquis' Mansion.
Feng Chun was also irritated and scolded: "Qingluan, who are you calling a borer? We are your uncle and aunt, so what's wrong with eating and using a little? Where did you learn to respect your elders from all those books?"
Feng Qingluan kicked Feng Chun in the chest and knocked him over.
"Here I am! I was too rigid in my studies and that's why you, a beggar, bullied me!"
Feng Zheng felt that he was also being scolded, and he shook his sleeves without confidence and said:
"It's insulting, it's really insulting."
Pan Yulian looked at Feng Qingluan gloomily.
This girl's personality changed drastically after she got married. What happened?
Feng Qingluan was too lazy to pay attention to Feng Zheng and instructed Fu Ming:
"Seal all exits of the mansion and do not allow anyone to enter or leave. Bring up the records of the servants and have everyone come to Songhe Hall. I want to thoroughly investigate the matter of my grandmother's poisoning. Anyone who does not come will be expelled from the mansion overnight and will never be employed again!"
Fu Ming was the steward of the Marquis' Mansion. He had had enough of the second and third wives' bullying, so he quickly went to make arrangements.
"Madame Qin, bring up the food that my grandmother ate today. I want to check it. Also, please do one more thing..."
Feng Qingluan explained.
When Old Lady Hou woke up, she saw that Feng Qingluan was opinionated in her actions, and was completely unlike the delicate and wait-on-the-side daughter before she got married. She felt comforted that little Qingluan had grown up.
After an incense stick of time, all the servants of the Marquis' Mansion stood in line in the courtyard of Songhe Hall.
The doctor who had been invited earlier also arrived. Together with Feng Qingluan, he found the poison Li Duanhun in a plate of jujube paste.
There were several boxes on the table, and no one knew what was inside.
Feng Zheng and others couldn't understand how Feng Qingluan was going to find out who poisoned the person. They were frightened by the huge scale of the incident.
"My grandmother has always loved eating the jujube paste. From the time it is made in the kitchen to the time it is delivered to Songhe Hall, anyone who finds something unusual will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."
Feng Qingluan began to ask questions.
One thousand taels of silver is enough for an ordinary person to have food and clothing for a lifetime. There will always be brave men under a big reward. She doesn't believe that no one will come forward to testify against the murderer for the money.
Feng Qingluan opened the box, and rows of shining silver ingots were placed in front of everyone, causing quite a stir among the servants.
"Whoever can give a favorable testimony will not only receive a thousand taels of silver, but also take away the contract of selling one's body. Even those who participated in the ring will not be pursued by this princess. I have only one goal, to find the mastermind, clean up the mess, and restore peace to the Marquis' Mansion!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd started talking again.
Now some people in the two rooms were panicking. Feng Qingluan's move was to cut off the source of the trouble. How many servants could resist the temptation and not sell out for fame? Their faces were as red as if they were running a dyeing factory. It was wonderful.
Feng Qingluan looked around at everyone, and a brave servant came out:
"My lady, I am the servant who is in charge of delivering food from the kitchen to the front hall today. In the afternoon, I saw a maid in the Plum Blossom Pavilion opening the box of jujube paste. I don't know what she did. Later, Madam Pan came from the corridor to urge her, and the maid hurriedly closed the lid and delivered it to Songhe Hall."
Feng Qingluan asked, "Among all the maids present, if I let you look at her again, could you recognize who she is?"
The servant said, "I saw the man's back. If we ask them to do the same movements, we should be able to recognize him."
Feng Qingluan said: "Reward."
The housekeeper found the servant's indenture and gave it to him, and Nanny Qin handed a box of silver to the servant.
The other servants were all excited when they saw that Feng Qingluan kept her word.
The people from the second and third rooms could no longer sit still, cold sweat broke out on their palms, and they prayed in their hearts that the servants in their courtyards would not be tempted and keep their mouths shut.
However, the conditions offered by Feng Qingluan were too tempting. A maid came out trembling and knelt on the ground:
"My lady, I know who wants to poison the old lady."
