Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 44 The Prime Minister's Early Death

It was Min Rouer who was the first to discover that Mrs. Zhao had died.

She was confined to her room by Zhao Wenxuan that day. Although Zhao Wenxuan did go to her room at night, she could clearly feel that Zhao Wenxuan was a little absent-minded about the matter.

So these days she has been trying her best to please Old Madam Zhao and make sure that her aunt stands on her side.

So she went to Songbaiyuan early this morning.

The people serving Old Madam Zhao saw that it was her, but did not stop her.

Then... I saw how Old Madam Zhao died.

Min Rouer screamed and then covered her mouth tightly.

Without him.

Because her mind quickly reacted and realized that the death of Old Lady Zhao was exactly the same as the symptoms of death from an overdose of Aconitum as recorded in the book of poisons.

She suddenly remembered the box of poison under her bed, and the Aconitum that she had asked Dongmei to slowly inject into Nanxi several times.

I was in a state of confusion for a moment.

Just when the servants were in a panic, she ignored the strange looks from others and hurried back to her Guanyu Pavilion.

When I opened the secret compartment in the ground, my mind went blank.

really!

The box of poison and the book of poisons were both gone.

Min Rouer slumped to the ground, her heart in turmoil. Even the death of her aunt suddenly became less important.

Who?

who is it?

Who knew she had hidden this box, and when did she know it? If this person knew she had the poison, how much did he know about what he had done to her?

Why did he poison my aunt with the same Aconitum that the bitch Nan Xi took?

How much does my cousin know about this matter? Will he blame her for my aunt's death?

She hid in her own Guanyu Pavilion, feeling distraught, not daring to see how her aunt died, nor to face her cousin. It wasn't until she heard Nan Xi had returned home that she calmed down and hurried over.

For some reason, she had a bad feeling. She always felt that if she was not there, something strange would happen to Nan Xi.

Nan Xi recently gave her the feeling that she was out of her control.

But she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Fortunately, she arrived in time. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw the bitch Nan Xi staring at her aunt's body with a suspicious look, and even wanted to report to the police.

How is this possible?

Rather than investigating the cause of her aunt's death, she was more worried that the incident would implicate herself.

He would even bring up the fact that she poisoned Nan Xi.

Zhao Wenxuan hugged Min Rouer, who was trembling in his arms, with a complicated expression.

He didn't know how much Rou'er had to do with his mother's death, but no matter what, he believed that Rou'er didn't kill his mother. After all, Rou'er was so kind, and his mother was her aunt.

But judging from Rouer's behavior, there must be something hidden here.

But now that Nan Xi is here, it is obviously not the time to ask about the hidden truth.

Forget it, those who left have already left. What matters is to protect Rouer first - he has already lost his mother and cannot lose Rouer again.

His mother loved Rou'er so much. If she knew about this, she would probably agree with his decision.

As for his mother's death, he would slowly investigate it himself and deal with it privately.

The most important thing is that at least Rou'er cannot be involved in this matter at the moment, and Wan'er cannot have a guilty biological mother.

After weighing the pros and cons again and again, Zhao Wenxuan finally made up his mind and looked at Nan Xi with a gloomy look:

"Ma'am, don't talk nonsense."

"Mother suddenly fell ill last night and passed away. Doctor Li has already treated her."

"So, regarding this matter, I don't want any gossip that is detrimental to the mansion to spread!"

He wasn't just saying this to Nan Xi; he was also sweeping a menacing gaze at all the servants present. Needless to say, considering he was a Prime Minister in his previous life, his ruthless aura was truly terrifying.

Nan Xi said she was scared.

You, my dear mother, have the final say!

So, in extreme sadness, Nan Xi fainted again... gorgeously.

Zhi Qiao and Zhi Xiao screamed in familiar voice: "Miss...what's wrong with you?"

He picked up Nan Xi and quickly returned to Tingxueyuan.

Zhao Wenxuan: “…”

Min Rouer: “…”

Everyone: "..."

After a long time, Zhao Wenxuan finally reacted and was furious.

He originally wanted to hand over this mess, oh no, his mother's funeral affairs to Nan Xi. After all, she was his wife and the mistress of the Zhao family, wasn't she?

I didn't expect that stupid woman is so useless. If I had known this earlier, I would rather not have asked her to come back home. She can only cause trouble and is of no help at all.

"Rou'er, thank you for taking care of mother's funeral."

There was no way. He had realized during this half day that his aunt and second aunt only cared about the interests of their own family. In the end, the affairs of the mansion had to be handed over to his own people and he could trust them.

Although Rou'er was only his concubine now, she was his confidant after all, and would be his wife in the future. He believed that Rou'er could shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the mistress of the house at this time.

"Don't worry, cousin. Rou'er will do her best to see my aunt off... take care of her final journey... Woo, woo, woo~"

As she spoke, she pinched her handkerchief and cried inconsolably.

What can Min Rouer do?

She also had to thank her cousin for entrusting this matter to her.

After all, with her aunt in this condition... she wasn't sure if she could leave her to anyone else, especially the two aunts.

Yin's mind was full of tricks, and Zhang's was loud and noisy. These two weren't as easy to fool as that stupid woman Nan Xi.

If someone were to find out the cause of my aunt's death, it would be a trouble in the future.

Most importantly, she might be able to take control of the household by successfully handling this matter. By then, what would it matter if that foolish woman Nan Xi took the title of legal wife?

Her husband's love, her daughter, the power to manage the household...all belong to her.

Thinking of this, Min Rouer cast aside her inner anxiety and became more motivated:

She will definitely make sure her aunt's funeral is beautiful!
