I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Cui Shuyan's words sounded perfunctory.

Zhao Simin couldn't help but say, "Cui Shuyan, don't you know how serious this problem is? If we allow this rumor to spread, even if Xie Xingyuan returns to the capital, he won't be able to suppress it. Especially since he's not in the capital right now, he's out of reach."

"But even if I am anxious, what can I do?"

"Of course, it is to suppress the rumors." Zhao Simin said immediately.

Cui Shuyan asked back: "Now that the rumor has spread so wildly, can it be suppressed?"

"This rumor has spread so widely, it's obvious that someone is secretly fanning the flames. If we find this person, we'll find a way to solve the problem."

Cui Shuyan nodded: "I know who this person is. However, I always feel that this insignificant rumor is not her ultimate goal. So, I want to wait and see."

Before Zhao Simin could say something, Princess Heshuo pressed the back of her hand.

"Shu Yan, do you know who did it?"

"Yes."

Zhao Simin was anxious: "Now that you know who it is, why don't you take action? Shuyan, do you know..."

"Simin." Princess Heshuo interrupted her, "No need to ask any more. She knows what's going on."

After that, she looked at Cui Shuyan and asked, "So, what do you need us to do?"

"You guys get out of here and help me clear up the rumors. Also, tell others that I'm panicking."

Princess Heshuo nodded and understood.

Soon, she grabbed Zhao Simin, who wanted to ask something else, and went out together.

After the two left, Luo Jinyu chuckled and said, "They both care about you very much. It's rare for a person to have such a confidant in his life."

"Yes." Cui Shuyan said with a smile.

Outside, rumors continued to spread.

No matter how fierce the commotion was outside, Cui Shuyan was still thinking about the surrounding situation in Luo's residence.

Because she always felt that such rumors were insignificant, and what was important were the changes around her.

Madam Xie definitely wants to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

But it is still unclear what Madam Xie will do.

All she can do now is to pay attention to the people and things around her.

By the third day, the rumor had become quite widespread.

In the eyes of the world, Cui Shuyan has become the representative of evil women. She actually killed her stepmother who raised her with great difficulty since she was a child. She is truly insane!

At this time, the evil things that Mrs. Cui had done were not mentioned.

Cui Shuyan’s evil deeds were infinitely magnified.

People in the world are always like this, they are only willing to believe what they want to believe.

Some people even ran to the gate of Luo's house and threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs on the door, making the people in the mansion miserable.

This is a very serious matter. If it were someone else, they would have collapsed by now.

But Cui Shuyan remained calm.

She still felt that Madam Xie was doing this to divert attention and to use increasingly intense rumors to cover up her real purpose.

Just then, a gatekeeper asked for leave.

Originally, Cui Shuyan didn't need to ask about such trivial matters.

In the past, such trivial matters would never have been reported to Cui Shuyan.

But recently, Cui Shuyan has told housekeeper Feng again and again that everything in the mansion, no matter how big or small, must be told to her.

So this time, even if the gatekeeper took leave, Cui Shuyan still took care of it personally.

It was learned that the gatekeeper was called Li Dahai, and the reason he took leave was because he had caught a cold and had a high fever.

According to the rules, one cannot continue to work in the mansion after falling ill, so Li Dahai asked for leave in accordance with the rules of the mansion.

It seems like a very small matter.

After all, people can get sick if they eat grains.

However, Cui Shuyan felt that she could not take it lightly, and immediately asked Liu Youde, who lived in Prince Xie's Mansion, to see Li Dahai.

Soon, the news reached Cui Shuyan.

Li Dahai was indeed infected with a cold and had symptoms of headache and cough.

Could it be that she was really being overly cautious?

Seeing her frown, Luo Jinyu said, "Shuyan, you are too nervous, relax."

But, two hours later, Shi Liu rushed in from outside: "Miss, Li Dahai is dead. I have asked Liu Youde to go check."

Not long after, Liu Youde came back.

He came and went in a hurry, sweating all over. After sitting down, he picked up the cold tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp: "When Li Dahai gets a fever, it's a high fever. He's weak and can't hold on."

“Are there any other symptoms?”

"It's just the symptoms of catching a cold, nothing else."

"Think about it carefully. Don't miss any details." Cui Shuyan urged.

Liu Youde chuckled and said, "My Lady Princess, are you being too cautious? Is it worth worrying about just a servant?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Just tell me what I ask you!"

Seeing Cui Shuyan's expression suddenly change, Liu Youde did not dare to neglect her and quickly put away the smile on his face: "It's really just the symptoms of a cold, nothing else."

"Start from when you diagnosed Li Dahai's pulse. Don't miss any details."

"I went there according to your instructions. When I went there, Li Dahai was lying on the bed, and his wife was waiting beside him. Knowing that I went there with your instructions, the whole family seemed a little flattered..."

Liu Youde spoke a lot and was very eloquent.

Cui Shuyan listened carefully but didn't notice anything.

Liu Youde continued, "Speaking of which, Li Dahai is so young, but his teeth are so bad. When I went to see him, he had blood in his mouth and his saliva was bright red..."

Hearing this, Cui Shuyan's heart suddenly tightened: "What did you say? Li Dahai's saliva is bright red?"

"Yeah, so what? Bad teeth will cause frequent bleeding, right? Especially when you have a fever, the blood will be hot, so it will be more likely to bleed. Isn't this normal?"

Cui Shuyan stepped forward, kicked Liu Youde to the ground, and said angrily: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Liu Youde still felt aggrieved: "For something like this, what difference does it make if you tell it earlier or later? It's a very common thing..."

At this time, Shi Liu came in to report: "Miss, the people guarding Li Dahai's house came back to report that Li Dahai's body was purple-black, as if he had been poisoned."

Cui Shuyan's fingertips trembled, and then she clenched all her fingers into a fist.

She immediately gave the order: "Close the gates of the mansion immediately and do not allow anyone to enter or leave. Sprinkle quicklime everywhere in the mansion and tell all servants to stay in their rooms and not to move around. Those who violate the order will be severely punished!"

Although Shi Liu didn't know what Cui Shuyan meant, she still did it immediately.

"Is it necessary?" Liu Youde still looked indifferent. "But this is a bit strange. Who would poison a servant? Wait, he had symptoms of a cold and a high fever, and his body was purple and black after death. This, this is..."
