My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.

The sky gradually darkened and the banquet finally ended.

Old Madam Shen said contentedly, "Qinghuan, I'm tired. You take care of the rest."

"Yes."

Ye Qinghuan looked at the mess in the yard and sighed.

This is the advantage of being a "housewife". You have to get up when others don't, and you can't rest when others rest.

After finishing everything, Ye Qinghuan felt sore all over and prepared to go back to his yard to take a hot bath and have a good sleep.

But suddenly, a sharp cry was heard.

"The Third Young Master is vomiting blood! The Third Young Master is vomiting blood..."

Ye Qinghuan was shocked and hurriedly led his men to Qingyun Courtyard.

I met Shen Lin at the door. He looked very bad and was walking out in a hurry.

"General, what happened?"

"My third brother is poisoned and vomiting blood. I will go get the imperial physician."

"How could you be poisoned?"

"I don't know. Be careful and don't get yourself hurt." Shen Lin reminded him worriedly and stopped moving forward.

Ye Qinghuan nodded: "Go ahead, I can take care of myself."

"Ah."

Shen Lin left in a hurry and Ye Qinghuan stepped into Qingyun Courtyard.

Shen Rong was lying on the wedding bed, his face was depressed and there was blood at the corners of his lips.

Zhao Qingyao had already taken off her veil and was standing beside the bed with a serious look on her face.

Old Madam Shen sat by the bed and cried, "My son, who wants to harm you?"

"Mother……"

As soon as Shen Rong opened his mouth, he started coughing violently and vomited blood.

"Don't be afraid, Rong'er. The imperial physician will be here soon. You will be fine, you will be fine!" Old Madam Shen repeated firmly while crying.

Ye Qinghuan asked: "Mother, what's happening to my third brother?"

"The Third Young Master drank a few too many glasses at the banquet and vomited blood when he came back." Bai Zhi's eyes were red and she was very worried.

"Wine at the banquet? Those guests..." Ye Qinghuan's face changed drastically.

Although no one knew who poisoned the place, all the people attending the banquet today were either rich or noble, not to mention those who could drink with Shen Rong.

If all the guests are poisoned, things will be troublesome!

"Someone, go outside and find out which other distinguished guest has been poisoned."

"Yes."

Old Madam Shen did not stop Ye Qinghuan because she was also afraid of widespread poisoning!

"Butler, go check today's wine!"

"Send a few more maids to interrogate all the people who served at today's banquet! If there are any who know about this but don't report it, they will be sent to the authorities!"

"Write a list of all the guests who have drank with the Third Young Master for future reference."

"..."

Ye Qinghuan remained calm in the face of danger and was able to give orders decisively to control the overall situation.

Zhao Qingyao couldn't help but look at Ye Qinghuan - what excellent housekeeping skills!

But how could such a nice wedding banquet turn out like this?

"Miss Qin, I'm sorry for putting you through this today."

After Ye Qinghuan finished making the arrangements, he glanced at the wedding wine on the table - it hadn't been touched yet. So he checked to see if the wedding wine was poisonous.

"Ms. Qin, tell me what happened at that time." Ye Qinghuan said.

Zhao Qingyao said: "The Third Young Master just arrived outside the bridal chamber when he suddenly shouted. My maid went out and saw him vomiting blood and falling to the ground. He was alone at the time."

"Why is no one taking care of her? Where is Ah Jiu?" Ye Qinghuan frowned suspiciously.

"The Third Young Master said that they would have their wedding night tonight and he could go in by himself, so he asked me to leave. I'm sorry, I should have followed the Third Young Master." Ajiu said in annoyance.

"What about Bai Zhi? You didn't follow her either?"

"I've rested..."

Bai Zhi sobbed twice, her whole body filled with worry.

Shen Rong raised his hand with great effort and called out weakly: "Second sister-in-law..."

"Third brother?"

"It has nothing to do with them."

Ye Qinghuan thought: You protect me really well!

"They will definitely not harm Rong'er." Old Madam Shen said, "Ye, please go outside to investigate and don't argue with Rong'er here."

A thankless job? Ye Qinghuan took a deep breath and turned to leave.

Zhao Qingyao hesitated for a moment and followed him out: "Second sister-in-law, what can I do?"

"You must be tired from today's wedding, and it's not convenient for you to do this now. I'll arrange another room for you to rest first." Ye Qinghuan said.

"Thank you, second sister-in-law."

Zhao Qingyao was indeed very tired and didn't want to care about Shen Rong's affairs at all.

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, she leaned close to Ye Qinghuan and whispered, "Is it possible that it was him?"

Ye Qinghuan's pupils shrank suddenly.

Shen Rong poisoned himself?

After a few breaths, Ye Qinghuan realized - Shen Rong didn't want to consummate his marriage with Zhao Qingyao, so he deliberately poisoned him and then put the blame on someone else.

This other person...Shen Lin is of course the best candidate!

How cunning!

"Ms. Qin, have a good rest. Please don't disturb *** about what happened today."

There were not many slaves in Qingyun Courtyard, and Bai Zhi was the only maid who could serve the master.

So, Ye Qinghuan called Bai Zhi out: "Miss Qin needs to rest, so she can stay in the east wing first. You can help her find out what's missing."

"I am."

Bai Zhi drooped her eyelids unwillingly.

She was actually asked to serve Zhao Qingyao? This was simply too much!

"Thank you, second sister-in-law."

Zhao Qingyao took her dowry servants and moved to the east wing. The dignity of the adopted daughter of the *** was such that no one dared to question her.

Bai Zhi swallowed her anger and asked, "Did the Third Madam give any instructions? If not, I will go and take care of the Third Young Master..."

"Your Majesty!"

Zhao Qingyao suddenly gave the order in a cold voice.

Bai Zhi was confused.

Before she could react, Nanny Wang, sent by the empress, kicked her behind the knee: "Madam told you to kneel down, didn't you hear me?"

"Well--"

Baizhi felt pain and knelt on the ground.

The kneeling was so hard that it hurt my kneecap.

"Third Madam, what did I do wrong?" Bai Zhi was dissatisfied and asked with her head raised.

Zhao Qingyao looked at her coldly: "In front of the master, I come and I go, is it appropriate?"

Bai Zhi: ………

As a slave, she naturally called herself a slave. But she was used to "I".

In the general's mansion, everyone knew that she was the third young master's woman, and no one ever dared to correct her to her face.

She was used to “I come and I go” and didn’t think there was any problem at all.

Now, Zhao Qingyao wanted to argue with her, and she had no way to explain.

"Since you still have some face in front of the Third Young Master, I will punish you with twenty slaps in the face." Zhao Qingyao said.

Bai Zhi was stunned: "How, how could this be possible?"

"Why not?" Zhao Qingyao asked back, "You are disrespectful to your master, shouldn't you be punished?"

"You really don't know the rules!"

Two old women stepped forward to hold Bai Zhi down, and Nanny Wang slapped her in the face.

Bai Zhi's face quickly became swollen, and she felt confused and aggrieved when she was thrown out of the east wing.

Subconsciously, she wanted to find Shen Rong to cry and complain, but was stopped.

"Miss Baizhi, the imperial physician is treating the Third Young Master. No outsiders are allowed to enter."

Angelica dahurica makes me numb.

She has become a bystander!

"Miss Baizhi, you should go and have a rest first!" Ajiu advised with complicated eyes.

Bai Zhi covered her face sadly and choked up, "How is the Third Young Master now?"

"No longer in danger of life."

"it is good."

Bai Zhi finally realized that once the new lady entered the palace, Qingyun Courtyard would have a master.

And she is just a slave!
