After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

It just so happens that she can also use that old man to get rid of Chun Liu!

"Have you taken all the medicine?"

Chun Liu's voice was trembling uncontrollably as she spoke, "It has already been put in. It was put in the Four Ingredients Soup that the Fourth Miss is having today."

It was a custom in the mansion for the female masters of the Marquis' Mansion to drink a bowl of Siwu Soup every three days to warm and nourish their bodies after their menstrual period.

Aunt Qiao didn't doubt him and pointed at the mutton soup on the table and said, "The mutton soup won't taste good when it's cold. Drink it while it's hot."

The aroma of mutton soup mixed with chopped green onions wafted into the air. It was dinner time and Chunliu was starving.

Seeing that Aunt Qiao really had no intention of eating, she picked up the bowl of mutton soup, put it into the lunch box, and walked out carrying the lunch box.

A night passed, Chunliu lay in bed with his eyes open, until the sound of night watchmen was heard in the alley.

She didn't hear any commotion from Bai Youyou's side at night, and she was full of doubts.

Aunt Qiao looked at the dark circles under her eyes and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not giving you any deadly poison."

"It's not poison?" Chunliu was shocked.

"It's just some cold medicine that makes women suffer. Don't worry, no one will die in a short time, and no one will find out about it. You don't need to be so nervous."

Aunt Qiao's words made Chunliu feel relieved, and the heart that had been hanging in the air finally settled down in her stomach.

Thinking that she would be able to marry Dazhu soon, she relaxed and looked happy.

"Auntie, if you hadn't told me before, I would have been scared to death."

"If I had told you, how could you be so alert and careful? The New Year is coming in a few days. After the New Year, I will find someone useful and let you go."

There was coldness in Aunt Qiao's eyes.

Those medicines may not take effect now, but once menstruation comes, you will suffer heavy bleeding, and may even cause death!

As long as Chunliu dies, there will be no evidence to prove this matter!

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Chunliu didn't know that the King of Hell was looking for her name in the Book of Life and Death. She was so happy at this moment that she immediately knelt down and bowed.

Early in the morning, Bai Yanlang returned home angrily and went straight to the old lady's Songtao Garden.

Today is the last day of the New Year's Day and the grand court meeting. Not only did the old censor surnamed Chen accuse him of not managing his household properly, but two other censors also accused him of listening to the words of ghosts and gods, burning his legitimate daughter, and being unkind and merciful.

He was originally a fifth-rank official in the Honglu Temple, but the emperor almost stripped him of his official hat and turned him into a commoner.

Fortunately, the prince spoke up for justice and saved his official position, but he was also demoted from the fifth-rank Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple to the sixth-rank charity official of the Senglusi.

The fifth-rank position of the Honglu Temple Shaoqing was still respectable, and the sixth-rank position of the Senglusi was in charge of the monks...

"Mom, you have to think of a solution for your son!"

Bai Yanlang cried, "You don't even know how many of my colleagues laughed at my son for this title of Monk Registrar."

Old Mrs. Qiao looked grim, "Besides the imperial censors, are there any other people who are trying to take advantage of others' misfortune?"

"The Grand Secretary of the Palace, as well as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Academician of the Hanlin Academy."

Speaking of this, Bai Yanlang gritted his teeth.

If they had not stood up in the end to agree with the words of several imperial censors, the emperor would not have demoted him by one level and given him such an insignificant title.

"Does Grand Secretary Zhang also second this motion?"

"Well, the one with the most vicious tongue is Zhang Shichang. He's over seventy years old, but he doesn't even have two teeth left. When he scolds someone, his saliva can spray three miles!"

Old Qiao's heart suddenly sank.

Lord Qi, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is a close relative of the Duke of Zhenguo, so his words were not unexpected. However, Lord Zhang, the Grand Secretary, is the younger brother of the current Empress Dowager and has no connections with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. It was unexpected that Lu Zhenguo could even invite him.

The strength of the Duke Zhenguo Mansion should not be underestimated!

Bai Yanlang was still cursing, and Old Mrs. Qiao gave him a look of dismay, "This is just a temporary predicament. Since the prince is guaranteeing you, you should calm down for now and make plans later."

Zhenguogongfu.

Lu Zhenguo and the old lady sat on a stone bench in the yard, peeling pine nuts in their hands.

Lu Zhenguo was somewhat dissatisfied. "When did this Bai Yanlang become related to the crown prince? If he hadn't spoken up for Bai Yanlang at the court this morning, that idiot would have been dismissed by now!"

"It's his concubine daughter named Bai Yaoyao. She had some connections with the prince at the Buddha Temple some time ago."

The old lady looked indifferent, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, "You dealing with that idiot Bai Yanlang is no big deal to Old Qiao."

"Then I'll go take care of Bai Lao San!"

Lu Zhenguo threw the pine nuts in his hand into the dustpan, "I don't believe that she wouldn't be anxious if I touched her beloved baby!"

The old lady looked up at him and continued to peel pine nuts. "Just be realistic and don't make up stories."

"My son knows."

Lu Zhenguo said righteously, "People from the Zhenguo Mansion never bully others by taking advantage of their power. I would never do such a thing as framing someone!"

"We can do this after the New Year. There's no rush. I'll make some pine nut cakes. You can take them to your sister and Youyou to have a taste."

"okay."

Lu Zhenguo grabbed the pine nuts in the winnowing basket again, and pinched a small brown pine nut with his broad palm. With a little force, he squeezed the pine nut to make an opening.

Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still two days before the New Year. Every other family is celebrating with great joy, but the atmosphere in the Yongning Marquis Mansion is heavy.

Xu Lingyun spent four days and finally interrogated all the maids and servants in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion.

The servants in this mansion are divided into two factions, one belongs to Madam Hou and the other belongs to the Li family.

As for the affairs of the second house, they had no answers and could not find any useful clues.

The coroner had examined the bodies before and found out that Zhang Momo and Wang Momo died of arsenic poisoning.

This poison is extremely toxic and its sale in pharmacies is recorded as such, but the source of Yongning Hou's arsenic is unknown. It would take a lot of effort to find out the source.

"Master Xu, the New Year is coming soon. Why don't we postpone this case for a few days and investigate it after the New Year?"

Bai Qingyu spoke in a negotiating tone with a smile on his face.

The Chinese New Year is in two days, and all relatives and colleagues will visit each other.

His dignified Yongning Marquis Mansion was filled with officials coming in and out, making the entire mansion a mess and a laughing stock among outsiders.

"Marquis Yongning, I know that the New Year is coming soon. I also want to spend a comfortable New Year at home, but this case involves two lives. If we postpone it until after the New Year, and let the real murderer escape justice, neither you nor I can bear the consequences."

"I also know that this case is of great importance, but it is useless for you to interrogate the servants in my house. It is better to ask Wang Momo's son first. Maybe you can get more useful clues."

"I have my own way of handling cases, so I don't need the Marquis of Yongning to give me instructions."

Xu Lingyun straightened his wrinkled sleeves and continued to interrogate Bai Qingyu regardless of his embarrassment.

Wang Momo personally interrogated his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, and judging from their confessions, they did not lie.

But it can be shown that Wang Momo's death was a sudden act.

"Sir, the woodcutter that General Lu sent people to look for has been found!"
