I just want to die of old age

Chapter 73: The Fight in the Marquis' Mansion - Cannon Fodder, Real Gold 5

This dish was brought directly from the main kitchen and could have been easily tampered with along the way, so it is difficult to determine who did it.

Besides, I don't have to be the one to investigate this matter, there are more suitable people. I showed an expression of watching a good show on my face, this show is going to be interesting.

It just so happens that my father and eldest brother are both on holiday today, so I can go and watch the fun with them.

I brought Nanny Wen and swaggered to my mother's yard. The Marquis was practicing martial arts in the yard at that time. When he saw me coming, there was a look of surprise and relief in his eyes.

"Are you here to pay your respects to your mother? Your mother will definitely be very happy."

"Father, I guess Mother won't be happy when she sees me later." I looked directly into the Marquis' eyes.

After hearing this, the Marquis looked solemn. He looked at my expression carefully, stopped what he was doing, stood up and walked into the hall.

"Come in and talk." The Marquis said as he walked.

After entering the hall, the Marquis sat on the chair and looked at me quietly.

"Tell me, what happened?" The Marquis' voice was low and serious.

"Mother needs to know this, too."

Marquis Su Muyun asked his servant to call in his wife.

After a while, the Marquis's wife Xiang Yayan came to the main room. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. What happened again? She frowned and looked at me in pain.

The Marquis took a sip of tea and said to me, "Your mother is here too. You can talk now."

I thought about it, and said with a relaxed smile on my face, "Father, if it wasn't something serious, I wouldn't want to come and disturb mother, but this matter concerns the safety of the mansion, so I have to say it. Please don't blame mother."

I paused for a moment, and the Marquis's wife looked at me with a dark face, and said with a forced smile, "Just say it directly."

"I had lunch today. Thanks to Nanny Wen's carefulness in checking the dishes with a silver needle, otherwise my father and mother might not have seen me."

The Marquis's wife, who originally thought I was making a fuss, became serious when she heard this. After all, she was her biological daughter, it was impossible for her to really not care at all.

The Marquis's wife Xiang Yayan said angrily, "How dare you poison someone in the Marquis's mansion? You are so bold! Have you found out who did it?"

"I just came back and I haven't offended anyone or had any grudges with anyone. As for the food, it was taken directly from the big kitchen, so I came to ask my mother to find out the truth."

The Marquis remained silent, his face as gloomy as if dripping with water. He thought for a moment and said, "Search the whole mansion and find the person who poisoned me. Madam, I'll leave this matter to you."

The Marquis's wife said firmly: "Don't worry, Marquis, I will find out the truth about this matter."

She was also very angry. How could someone dare to poison others? It was really bold.

Afterwards, the Marquis's wife arranged for people to search the Marquis's mansion, causing a lot of commotion.

The final investigation revealed that it was a maid in the kitchen who secretly poisoned the patient, but when she was found, she had already hanged herself.

The wife of the Marquis was very unhappy with the result of her investigation. She also felt that the Marquis' Mansion was still unsafe, so she decided to check all the remaining servants.

After Nanny Wen told me the result, my brows furrowed slightly and I felt a little uneasy.

Who was that person? He was able to destroy all the evidence so quickly in the mansion, even the only witness was silenced. Now there is really no evidence.

It seems that I thought too simply before. Maybe besides Su Mingyu, there are other people who hate me to the core.

I closed my eyes and thought for a while, then asked Nanny Wen, "How is the maid's training going?"

"Miss, they have all been trained almost completely, but Chunmei and Dongxiang were sent by others."

"Mammy, find someone to keep an eye on them and find out who ordered them to do this. Otherwise, I think the situation in the courtyard will be exposed to others."

"Okay, Miss, I will secretly train some reliable servants."

"Thank you for your hard work, mama."

"Miss, this is what I should do."

Nanny Wen thought to herself: Life is pretty good now. The young lady is very understanding and kind to the servants.

After Nanny Wen left, I started practicing martial arts. My body is still too weak. It might be because I didn't live a good life in the past, which weakened my foundation. I need to strengthen my body.

The next morning, Su Mingyu came to my yard with her maid, looked around, with an ambiguous expression on her face. It was obvious that she didn't expect that I had kept the yard in such order.

Thinking of the nanny that Marquis Su Muyun gave me, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes. My father was so partial that he actually chose a foster nanny for Su Yuzhu.

But she didn't know that I was the one who requested this nanny myself. The Marquis wanted to keep the peace and he really felt sorry for me, a daughter who had been living away from home since childhood and needed a nanny to teach her.

He knew that there was a nanny in the palace who was about to leave, so he went to invite her to me.

When I saw Su Mingyu, she was watering the flowers in the yard. She smiled and said, "You are really a rare guest. I didn't expect you to come to my yard today."

"Sister, you have been in the capital for so many days, and we two sisters haven't had a good chat."

"You are a busy man, you don't come to see me for no reason. Is there anything important today?"

"It's mainly because you've been in the capital for a long time, and you haven't been out to socialize. Today I just happened to receive an invitation from a sister, so we two sisters can go out together to relax."

I stopped watering the plants when I heard this, and a mocking smile appeared on my face: "Is that so? I heard there are a lot of rumors in the capital recently."

"Sister, it's because the noble daughters in the capital don't know you well that they are talking about you. So, this is a good opportunity."

I nodded silently and didn't refuse. I really wanted to meet them.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

After she finished speaking, Su Mingyu was about to leave. When she reached the gate of the courtyard, she suddenly turned around and said to me, "I don't know if the clothes and jewelry I have are enough. Do you need me to bring some to you?"

Listening to her sarcastic words, my expression did not change at all, and I still said with a smile: "Sure, sister, it's better to take more rare jewelry. I'm poor, the more the better."

Su Mingyu couldn't help but swallow her throat because of my shameless attitude. She didn't expect me to be so shameless.

She forced a smile and said, "I'll have the maid bring it to you later."

After saying that, she left in a hurry.

When I saw her like this, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

I was so happy to see this scene. I need gold and silver jewelry all the time. Since someone was willing to give them to me, I happily accepted them.

To me it's just a sentence, nothing.
