My concubine is pregnant, I tear up the marriage certificate and marry another powerful official

That night, Nanny Qin came to the quiet room.

She presented some food to Zou Er, then untied him and said some nice words to him earnestly, asking him to think about his family and not say nonsense tomorrow.

Zou Er didn't doubt it, agreed immediately, and ate it up voraciously.

Just as Nanny Qin stood up and closed the door to leave, the dishes in the quiet room were kicked to the ground. Zou Er's throat was locked by the poison, and he covered his throat tightly with his hands without uttering a word.

It was a quiet place with no idle people walking around, so no one would notice what was going on inside. Nanny Qin stood guard outside the door and waited until there were no signs of anything inside the house before leaving.

The next day, the morning light was slightly bright.

Liu called everyone together, and the first thing she did was to investigate what happened last night. Liu Qiuqiu, who was sitting next to her, had red eyes, and it seemed that she didn't get a good night's rest.

"Where's Suho? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Nanny Qin said: "Perhaps the young lady feels guilty and is embarrassed to come here..."

There was such a loud noise in the Accord yesterday, but Su He didn't even come out to take a look. Isn't that just a guilty feeling?

"Why should I feel guilty?"

Before she finished speaking, Su He walked into the room. She looked around the room and paused on Nanny Qin's face. She smiled coldly, "Why don't you answer?"

Nanny Qin lowered her eyes and said, "This old servant has overstepped his authority."

Su He leaned over and sat down, stroking the armrest with his fingers, and slanted his eyebrows: "Pei Xia, let her remember this."

Pei Xia said yes, rolled up her sleeves and walked forward, slapping her cleanly. Nanny Qin took a few steps back, staring at her in disbelief with her eyes wide open, "I'm the old lady's! Why did you hit me?"

"You have no manners with your mouth!"

Pei Xia has always disliked the old women around Liu. They relied on their age and acted as if she were an old lady. It was bad enough that they acted domineering in the mansion, but how dare they bully her young lady?

"You're going too far, maid!"

Liu slammed the table and the tea spilled out. Liu Qiuqiu was also startled. She looked at them secretly and finally understood that the two were working against each other.

That's fine, after both of them are hurt, she can reap the benefits, the best result is that she is the only mistress left in the Lu Mansion! Anyway, the short-lived Zhang has met the King of Hell, and after Su He left, the old lady will also have to go to the underworld soon.

In the hall, Su He stared at Liu quietly.

If she did it again, she would not be afraid of anything. Even if Liu was an elder, it didn't matter. Compared with a well-behaved watchdog, an elder without moral integrity seemed to be more pleasing.

"What's the point of making so much noise?"

Zhaoyang's voice came from outside the door. Xianyin was waiting on one side. When Liu saw her, she immediately went to greet her. She heard Zhaoyang say, "I heard that the Lu family has family affairs to deal with. Huaihe is an outsider, so it's not easy for him to interfere. Let me make the decision."

After all, she was once a member of the Lu family and her status was more noble than that of the Liu family. No one would say anything if she got involved.

Liu had no objection. She gave Qin Ma a look and immediately went forward to cry, covering her face.

The princess wanted to argue for Liu's sake, but Xianyin interrupted her: "You were the one who said the wrong thing first, how can you blame the master for punishing you? You don't act like a servant. Before you reincarnate in your next life, remember to burn incense and worship Buddha, and become a master before others, so you don't have to suffer."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Zhaoyang fell silent, which made people think that these words were what the eldest princess meant.

The changes in the expression on Nanny Qin's face were extremely dramatic, from indignation to a mixture of pale and blue, but she still had to bite the bullet and thank the princess for her teachings.

Zhaoyang said, "On the way here, Xianyin told me the whole story. In such a quiet place like the Buddhist temple, someone dared to blaspheme the gods. I will personally convict him!"

Liu ordered Nanny Qin to bring the person over.

The two knew very well that it was impossible for Zou Er to show up.

Nanny Qin was sure that she did not leave any flaws, and even wiped her footprints cleanly when she left.

Pei Xia stepped forward in time and said to Zhao Yang respectfully, "Let me go. I am agile and can run fast."

"Go."

Nanny Qin just didn't want to go, otherwise she wouldn't be able to say anything after seeing the corpse. Now they just needed to throw the blame on Su He, with a lot of excuses and reasons, saying that she was jealous of Aunt Liu's pregnancy and deliberately took revenge... Anyway, there was no evidence.

Liu leaned back slightly, raised her chin slightly, and turned her eyes to Su He. She looked calm, as if it had nothing to do with this matter.

After waiting for an incense stick of time, Zhaoyang had become a little impatient. When Liu was about to ask Nanny Qin to go to the quiet room to check on the situation, someone came into the room.

Pei Xia brought Zou Er to him.

When she saw the living person in front of her, Nanny Qin was stunned and didn't move.

Didn’t he die in the middle of the night after eating food laced with poison?

Liu's face turned pale and she clenched her fists secretly, not wanting to even look at Nanny Qin.

If she had known this, she would have done it herself!

"My name is Zou Er, and I am honored to meet the Princess."

Zou Er's voice was hoarse when he spoke, probably due to the poison.

He knelt on the ground, looking respectful, and he looked to be only in his twenties. Judging from the surface, it didn't seem true that he deliberately insulted other women.

But he tried to hurt Su He twice.

Zhao Yang asked, "Did you try to hurt Aunt Liu last night? Do you admit the crime?"

Zou Er stood up, glanced at Liu with a hint of hatred, and said hesitantly: "I was led astray by someone, and the person behind the scenes is at the scene. I hope the princess can see clearly..."

"Oh? Then tell me, who ordered this?"

Liu's face was gloomy and her muscles twitched.

Su He raised his eyes as well.

In the quiet room, Zou Er slowly stretched out his finger and pointed at one of them.

Nanny Qin's pupils dilated and she froze instantly as she looked at the finger pointing at her.

"is her!"

"Last night, Nanny Qin poisoned my food in order to silence me!"

Nanny Qin retorted loudly: "You are talking nonsense! I am just following orders..."

"You still want to quibble after being pointed out?" Liu suddenly spoke up, her sidelong look was particularly frightening, "Madame Qin, you have a great-grandson in your family just like me. Is this how you set an example for the younger generation?"

Nanny Qin didn't dare to act rashly after hearing this. She had served Liu for decades and could understand the slightest disturbance. These words were a secret warning to her.

Regardless of whether she admitted to the incident today or not, Liu could find a way to get out of it. But as an old slave, she still had family concerns and could not stay out of it.

After a brief thought, Nanny Qin quickly came to her senses. She looked at Liu deeply and knelt down in front of Zhaoyang. "I was bewitched for a moment... Please punish me, Princess!"

Liu breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

"This old servant dislikes the new concubine Liu who came into the mansion. It was she who caused the separation between the young mistress and the young master, so I want to scare her..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiuqiu stood up in disbelief, stroking her belly with one hand while asking harshly, "You're lying! You clearly said last night..."
