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

Bai Youyou thought about it carefully and felt that it was impossible.

There was poison in Aunt Qiao's food. The person who poisoned it must have wanted to kill Aunt Qiao, and the only one in the Marquis's Mansion who wanted Aunt Qiao dead was Old Mrs. Qiao.

Aunt Qiao probably knew that Old Mrs. Qiao wanted to harm her, so she simply used Old Mrs. Qiao to kill Chunliu, killing two birds with one stone.

Although this is just speculation, we still need to provide evidence.

"Master Xu, since the incident happened in the kitchen, why not investigate it from there?"

This is exactly what Xu Lingyun planned.

He looked at Li who had remained silent, "Madam Hou, I still need your assistance in this matter."

"This happened in the Marquis' Mansion. It was my fault for not being strict with my subordinates. I will cooperate with you on this matter."

Li was so happy that she didn't have time to express herself.

Old Mrs. Qiao had been in charge of the Marquis' Mansion for many years. She still hasn't figured out who exactly are Old Mrs. Qiao's people in the Mansion.

Although a group of people have been replaced, there are still many families with children, and the whole family, young and old, are elderly people in the mansion and are not easy to move.

Now that this has happened, I can take this opportunity to replace the people in the kitchen with my own people.

The Li family was very powerful. When Mrs. Qiao from Songtao Garden heard the news, her originally calm expression suddenly turned gloomy.

"Qiao's maid Chunliu is gone?"

When she learned that Bai Yaoyao was in critical condition due to heavy bleeding, old Mrs. Qiao just snorted coldly and cursed, "It's all your fault." Now that she knew that Mrs. Qiao was fine but the maid beside her was dead, she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

She had people put a small amount of poison in Qiao's food. This small amount of poison would only make people feel uncomfortable, dizzy and weak, but it would never kill anyone within a year.

unless--!!!

Thinking of that possibility, she suddenly grabbed the corner of the table with her hands, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

"What a great Qiao Jiaojiao! I underestimated you!"

On New Year's Eve, she used the excuse of feeling unwell to not attend the New Year's banquet, and Mrs. Qiao thought she had been tricked.

I didn't expect that she wanted to confuse me and then use me to get rid of Chun Liu, killing someone with a borrowed knife.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Nanny Huang stood respectfully aside and asked in a low voice.

"Go and find the peddler now."

After Chun Liu drugged Bai Youyou, she was ready to wait for the poison to take effect and use this incident to kill Aunt Qiao.

She was unaware of the evil spirit, which allowed her to take advantage of the opportunity. Did Qiao Jiaojiao really think that she was just a decoration after being the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion for so many years?

"Also, spread the news about Qiao Lao San."

"Yes."

Huang Momo has also served in Songtao Garden over the years. Although her status is not as high as Zhang Momo and Wang Ma, she is also one of the four maids who came as a dowry with Old Mrs. Qiao.

Now that Zhang and Wang were gone, the old lady asked her and Feng Momo to serve her personally.

Her monthly salary was more than double what it used to be, and since Old Mrs. Qiao was generous with her rewards, everyone in the courtyard was willing to do things for her.

Nanny Huang hurried out of the door. On the other side, under Li's arrangement, all the people in the big kitchen gathered in the small Jianjia Courtyard.

Bai Youyou really wanted to know how Bai Yaoyao got hurt by the medicine Chunliu gave her.

"On which day did you give my food to Miss Five?"

Mother Xu had a faint smile on her face. She thought about it carefully and said, "It was the day when the Second Madam opened a small kitchen. The big kitchen cooked four-ingredient soup for you. That day, the Second Madam sent someone to say that a small kitchen had been opened and that she would not have to cook for her courtyard in the future. So I made the decision on my own and gave your portion of four-ingredient soup to the Fifth Miss."

It really was that day.

Bai Youyou was extremely grateful that she had suggested that Lu open a small kitchen that day, otherwise the poison would have really beenfallen on her.

Aunt Qiao had not expected this to happen. She clenched her hands tightly, her long nails digging into her flesh. The intense pain prevented her from losing her composure.

Lord Xu noticed her momentary astonishment, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across his cold eyes.

This is called failing to harm others and ending up harming yourself.

He raised his eyes and stared at Mother Xu, "Lumei said that you gave her the bowl of Tremella soup at noon today?"

"This bowl of Tremella soup was originally prepared for the old lady. I felt sorry for Aunt Qiao, who, like me, had experienced the pain of losing a child at a young age, so I gave a bowl to Aunt Qiao."

After saying this, Mother Xu raised her sleeve and wiped her eyes.

Lu Mei stood in the corner and said carefully, "Every time I go to the kitchen to get food, Madam Xu will give me a bowl of nourishing soup."

Xu Lingyun glanced at Mother Xu and asked, "Besides Mother Xu, did anyone else prepare these meals?"

The kitchen manager smiled and said, "The meals for the concubines in the mansion are the same every day. After the cook prepares them, they are put on a plate and placed on the chopping board. Unlike the masters, they will put up a sign and separate the meals for each room and each person."

Lord Xu gave Sun Yuan a look, and Sun Yuan understood and immediately took people to where Mother Xu lived.

Aunt Qiao's lips curled up slightly.

She was not panicked at all at this moment. When she poisoned Chunliu, she secretly had someone put the poison in Xu's mother's room.

Mother Xu belongs to her good aunt, and this time, she wants to see how her good aunt can break the impasse!

Sun Yuan came back with his men not long after, holding a white paper bag in his hand.

"Sir, look."

Xu Lingyun took it and walked to Doctor Pang, "Doctor Pang, please take a look at what this is."

Doctor Pang didn't look at him, but just lowered his head and sniffed at the paper bag in his hand. His face changed immediately and he raised his hand to push him away.

“This is Yang poison.”

Lord Xu's expression was stern, and he pointed at Mother Xu and said, "Take her away to me!"

Mother Xu was held by the officers by her arms and forced to kneel on the ground, with a look of panic on her face, "Sir, are you mistaken? I didn't do anything!"

"This is the poison we found in your room," Xu Lingyun threw the poison bag in front of her, "The Tremella soup that Chunliu ate contained this poison. How do you explain it?"

"Impossible, this poison does not belong to this servant!"

Mother Xu looked at the yellow paper bag on the ground and shook her head desperately.

The medicine she gave to Aunt Qiao was clearly still in the kitchen, so how could it be found in her room? This is clearly a frame-up!

The kitchen manager was also shocked by this scene.

Originally he was in charge of the kitchen affairs, but a few days ago, Li told him implicitly that he didn't need to be strict in supervision, so he became lazy and handed all the matters over to Mama Xu, while he went out to drink and gamble with the servants in the mansion.

Mrs. Xu seemed to be steady and gentle on weekdays, but I never expected that she would do such a heartless thing.

"Chun Liu is just a girl. What hatred does she have against you? How dare you use poison to harm her!"

"It's not me, it's really not me!"

Mother Xu had no way to defend herself.

She was the one who poisoned the place, but the poison on the ground was not hers!
