The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

Shen Tangan walked down the stairs gracefully, lifted her chin with two fingers, and smiled gently.

"If you tell the truth, I will keep your family safe. If you dare to die unclearly, I will not let your family go either. Don't think that you can get away with just dying."

She was not the kind of person who wanted to kill everyone, and she said that just to scare her.

If she really has her own difficulties and the answer satisfies her, Shen Tangan doesn't mind helping her once.

It goes without saying that the lives of her family members must be in Zheng's hands, otherwise why would she risk her own life rather than betray her?

If she doesn't know what's good for her, she will never let it go after poisoning her mother!

Chunhong's eyes were filled with fear as she stared at the person in front of her. The desire to survive took over her brain. Since she couldn't speak, she tried to blink her eyes to signal.

After receiving her answer, Shen Tangan raised his hand and pulled out the silver needle.

After finding that he could move, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head loudly.

"Miss, please save my sister! I don't want to die. As long as you can save my sister, I am willing to work like a slave for you, even if it means death!"

Chunhong spoke so sincerely that even Yunzhu, who was holding her at the side, was moved.

She could feel that Chunhong was not a bad person, but just looked like a pitiful person who was forced into a desperate situation.

"Who ordered you?"

Shen Tangan did not answer, but just asked calmly for the answer he wanted to know.

Smart people should know how to choose!

"Yes... Aunt Zheng!"

Chunhong stopped, put her head on the ground, and clenched her hands as if she had made a great decision.

To cooperate with Zheng is to seek the skin of a tiger, and there will be no good ending in the end.

So she can only bet on the eldest lady!

"Ah."

Shen Tangan responded lightly, showing no emotion at all.

She had known about this for a long time. As for why she had to ask Chunhong to tell it, it was firstly to give her a chance, and secondly to let other people present see Zheng's true face of viciousness and hypocrisy.

Now that Zheng's identity had been exposed in front of so many witnesses, it was impossible for her to work for him again.

Seeing her indifferent expression, Chunhong thought she didn't believe her, so she spoke quickly.

"Mrs. Zheng asked me to add a kind of food called Sun'an to Madam's daily meals, saying that it can enhance the flavor. I was also skeptical, but I also took this thing to see a doctor, who said it was non-toxic. But Madam's body became weaker and weaker, so I knew that this thing was not simple, and I rarely put it in the past month.

As for the tranquilizing soup yesterday, it was sent by the Second Miss and given to Madam after it was tested to be non-toxic. As for the rest, I really don’t know. "

Sun An?

Shen Tangan narrowed his eyes, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Shen Qingwan sent the calming soup because she was afraid that when she was being difficult with her mother, her mother's appearance would ruin her good fortune.

The drug is non-toxic and mixed with the tranquilizing soup, so it cannot be detected.

As for Sun An, this thing is indeed non-toxic when taken alone, and as she said, it is added to food to enhance the flavor.

However, if taken together with dried clams, it will produce a chronic and highly toxic substance, which will destroy the internal organs from the inside out and eventually cause death by rotting.

She put in Sun An, so where are the dried clams?

Suddenly I remembered that my mother had been treated by the doctor in our house ever since she fell ill.

He turned to look at Nanny Wang and whispered something in her ear.

Nanny Wang's expression suddenly became serious and she turned and went to the kitchen.

After a while, he came back and handed the thing wrapped in the handkerchief to her.

Shen Tangan picked up the residue of the medicine his mother had been taking and smelled it. Sure enough, there were dried clams. It seemed that his suspicion was correct.

No wonder Nanny Wang didn't notice it. This method is indeed clever and can take people's lives silently.

She remembered that the doctor seemed to have a close relationship with Zheng, but she couldn't remember what kind of relationship they had.

It was all her fault that she was reading the book just to kill time. She read it in a hurry without taking a close look at it.

Many details that were originally considered unimportant were skipped over, but now they almost cost my mother her life.

But her intuition told her that there must be some unspeakable secret between the court doctor and Zheng.

This matter must not alert the enemy. She must hold the snake at its weakest point and not give them any chance to survive!

"My dear lady, I have always felt strange. Since my wife became ill, the more she took this medicine, the weaker she became. I was suspicious and took the medicine residue to see a doctor outside, but I did not find any clues."

Nanny Wang looked serious and spoke in a low voice.

"This prescription alone is fine, but if you add something that counteracts it, it will naturally become a poison."

Shen Tangan looked solemnly as he lowered his eyes to look at the person kneeling on the ground.

"If you want to save your sister, how about making a deal with me?"

"I will obey the orders of the young lady!"

Chunhong was delighted and immediately kowtowed to agree.

My sister is saved!

"Just keep doing what you have done before. Be careful not to let Zheng find out your flaws. I will make all the other arrangements. It will take time to rescue your sister. As for how long you can delay it, it depends on your ability."

When Shen Tangan said this, Chunhong immediately became terrified.

"I will obey you, Miss!"

As long as I can save my sister, it's worth losing her life.

"As for you..."

Shen Tangan looked at the servants in the yard. Although they were far away and couldn't hear clearly what happened just now, they could guess a thing or two, so they needed to knock them out.

"My mother is a kind person. You know better than anyone how she treats you. I have known Zheng's housekeeper for more than a year, so naturally some of you are ready to make a move.

It is always right that people go up and water flows down, but I advise you to think clearly. Zheng has no power and influence. Does she have any ability except relying on her father's favor? Although she dare not deduct Biyunyuan openly, she must have used many obstacles in secret. You who often deal with the servants of Lihuayuan should know better than me.

Even though Biyun Courtyard is not as good as before, mother has never treated you harshly. You have never lacked new clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter, and your monthly reward is more than twice as high as that of Lihua Courtyard. That's because mother is using her dowry to subsidize you.

My mother was married to the Yong'an Marquis' wife in a formal ceremony. If my father were gone, the Marquis's Mansion would naturally belong to my mother. A concubine is the same as a lowly maid. The mistress can sell her at will. What kind of trouble can she cause?

Therefore, I will not point out the twists and turns in some people’s minds. If you want to seek refuge in Lihuayuan, I will let you go now and will not punish you in any way.

If you are willing to stay in Biyun Courtyard, please put away your useless thoughts. Mother will never treat you harshly. But if you stay, you must be loyal to the mistress. If I find you disloyal, don't blame me for beating you with a stick and selling you off!"

Her voice was cold, and a sense of oppression lingered in everyone's heart.

There were many people whispering in the back row, but those standing in the front row knelt directly in front of her with firm eyes.

"I swear to be loyal to Madam and Miss till death!"

Seeing this, the others followed suit and knelt down, and no one suggested leaving.
