Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 74: Thorough Investigation of Tingfeng Residence

The old uncle slammed the table and stood up: "You are so ignorant, what are you trying to hide until now? Are you trying to drag down the entire uncle's house?"

When she heard that the entire Earl's Mansion would be implicated, Mrs. Earl refused to accept it and pointed at Qiu Die: "Qiu Die, right? I remember that you are a house-born child. If you don't tell the truth, I will sell your whole family. Tell me quickly." She urged.

Qiu Die ignored Xu Rou's attempts to stop her and told her everything that happened in the Princess's Mansion today, including the conflict with Miss Du, calling all the noble ladies bitches, and her words, saying that she would be the future Crown Princess and Queen. Finally, the Grand Princess came over, and she told her all the words that threatened her.

The old uncle was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and his wife was even more dizzy. The eldest son's wife suddenly collapsed in a chair, muttering to herself: "It's over, it's over."

Xu Yuan supported her mother and looked at Xu Rou angrily. How dare she, this troublemaker, say such words? Isn't this putting the Changning Marquis's Mansion on fire?

The second wife also realized that the situation was not good and did not dare to cry loudly. She held Xu Rou in her arms, fearing that someone would snatch her away.

The lady of the Marquisate was so angry that she was shaking all over. She looked at the granddaughter she was once so proud of and wished she could beat her to death with a stick: "You evil creature, you actually dared to scold almost all the noble ladies in the capital. How will others see our Changning Marquisate? Do we still want to maintain the reputation of the ladies in the house?"

Mrs. Bo was breathing heavily and no longer cared about taking care of her health: "Just think about those words in your heart. How dare you say them out loud? Aren't you afraid of implicating your aunt in the palace?" At this moment, Xu Rou was no longer her most beloved granddaughter. She was definitely her enemy. Anyone who affected her daughter's status was her enemy.

The old man waved his hand feebly: "Everyone go down, wait for Wen'er and Cheng'er (Xu Rou's father Xu Cheng, uncle Xu Wen) to come back. It was unfortunate for the family to have such a granddaughter.

"Grandfather, I was murdered. I didn't want to be like that. Someone must have drugged me. I was fine, but suddenly my brain stopped working and I started talking nonsense." Xu Rou suddenly remembered that something was wrong. She could endure it before, but the uncontrollable anger today made her more and more suspicious that someone was trying to harm her.

"Still quibbling." The old lady was furious. "You are a noble lady with a clean appearance. You usually stay at home. Who would harm you?"

Xu Rou begged the old uncle: "Grandfather, Rouer really feels that something is fishy. You know what kind of person Rouer is. If she hadn't been drugged, how could she say such a thing?"

Xu Rou knelt down in front of Lady Bo's mother again: "Grandma loves Rouer the most and knows Rouer's temper best. It is impossible for her to be rude to me like that. I beg Grandpa and Grandma to investigate thoroughly and clear Rouer's name." She kowtowed so much that her forehead became visibly red and swollen.

The eldest lady couldn't help but sigh when she saw Xu Rou like this. What a ruthless person he was, as he could even harm her.

The old man hesitated. He also felt that something was wrong. The seventh girl was usually good at saving face and was sweet-mouthed and could coax people. She shouldn't lose her composure like that. If she was a good person, she wouldn't do such a thing.

"Think about it, what did you eat and drink after arriving at the Princess's Mansion?" asked the old uncle.

"No." Xu Rou shook her head. We got off the carriage and went into the Grand Princess's Mansion. A maid came to lead the way for us. We didn't touch the tea and snacks placed in the pavilions along the way until we had a conflict with them. "Xu Rou was also confused. What exactly happened?

"At home, maybe at home." The Second Lady shouted, and she must make the drugging a fact, otherwise Rouer's next life would be ruined. A person who has gone insane and caused the Grand Princess's dislike will not have a good ending.

"Yes, I had breakfast at Tingfengju at home. Maybe the problem lies with breakfast." I have to say that Xu Rou is sometimes smart and she thought of it immediately.

"What about elsewhere? Is there anything to eat elsewhere?" the old man asked.

"I had a sip of tea here, grandma." Xu Rou said hesitantly, "But, grandma, there must be nothing wrong here. The problem must be with Tingfeng Residence. Rou'er begs grandpa to seal the yard and thoroughly investigate Tingfeng Residence."

The old man pondered for a while and called out, "Come here."

The housekeeper came in from outside and bowed respectfully, "Master, Madam, Madam, and all the young ladies."

"Find a few capable guards to surround Tingfeng Residence." Then he said to the eldest lady, "Pick a few capable men to thoroughly check Tingfeng Residence inside and out. Focus on the few people who serve closely. Check them carefully."

The old uncle thought about it again and said to his wife, "If she was really framed, the palace doctor can't find out what happened. Take the letter from our uncle's house and ask the palace to invite an imperial physician who knows about this to come and check on the seventh girl."
