Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 74

Xiaoqing also poked her head out of Qin Jianxi's pocket.

The red-clad ghost clutched its neck, staggered backward, and fell to the ground. Just like those small animals bitten by the red dragon snake, it convulsed in pain, kicking its legs wildly. After a moment, it fell silent.

Qin Chuyao stepped forward, kicked his hand away, and glanced at him.

"Alright, now you've really become a ghost."

The pink butterflies behind: "..."

By this time, Pink Butterfly had recovered from her earlier terror and realized that the red-clothed ghost was not a real vengeful spirit at all, but a person in disguise.

She looked at Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi with the same horrified gaze.

The prince and the young lady are only three years old! Why aren't they afraid at all!

Qin Chuyao turned to Pink Butterfly and said, "Sister Pink Butterfly, go to Yufei Courtyard and call Mother over."

Pink Butterfly thought she couldn't leave the two children there, but then she realized she was completely paralyzed with fear and that the children were more useful than her...

He shut his mouth and went obediently.

Fortunately, it wasn't far from Yufei Courtyard, and Shen Lingjun arrived in a hurry soon after.

Shen Lingjun was terrified after hearing what Pink Butterfly had told her about what had happened, and rushed to Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi.

"Are you guys okay?"

She quickly checked the twins over from head to toe, and only when she saw that they were safe and sound did she feel somewhat relieved.

Qin Jianxi pointed to the side: "Mom, that's the person who pretended to be a ghost to scare us."

Shen Lingjun looked at the corpse of the red-clothed ghost, no, the red-clothed man.

Her face turned cold.

The man in red was indeed terrifying. He suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, and a normal three-year-old child would have been scared out of their wits.

It's fortunate that her twins are not ordinary children.

Moreover, Pink Butterfly said that when the man in red saw that he hadn't scared the two children, he tried to push Qin Chuyao into the pond, but he was bitten to death by the Red Dragon Snake as soon as he made a move.

No adult would be so bored as to scare two three-year-old children for no reason. The man in red clearly came with the intention of taking their lives!

Qin Chuyao has a heart condition and is more vulnerable than other children. If he is suddenly subjected to a great shock, he may suffer a heart attack and die.

Shen Lingjun's gaze seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

It's highly likely that someone has targeted Qin Chuyao.

His appointment as the heir apparent to the Marquis of Yongning annoyed some people.

The position of heir apparent is bestowed by imperial decree. The only way to change this reality is to make Qin Chuyao disappear, and then the position of heir apparent will pass to Qin Xuanrui, another son of the Marquis's family.

As for who did it, it's obvious even to a fool.

Even tigers don't eat their cubs; the ruthlessness of this poisoner is chilling.

Shen Lingjun sneered.

Well, she just made a move against Qin Shaoze, but they at least knew to strike first.

Shen Lingjun had Pink Butterfly wipe the red-clothed man's face clean. He was a stranger and not someone from the Yongning Marquis's residence.

There was nothing on him that could identify him, and now that he's dead, nothing can be asked of him.

Pink Butterfly asked, "Madam, what should we do now?"

Shen Lingjun pondered for a moment and said, "Go and call Hong Qing over, and hang this corpse in the busiest place in Kyoto."
