The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

Thinking of this, she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Seeing this, Shen Jinzhu quickly stepped forward and picked her up, saying, "Yaoyao is tired. Let's play together again next time, okay?"

“Okay.” The Shen family children all nodded obediently.

They really like this little cousin from the capital now.

They really wanted to take her out and show her off, since she was so cute and had so many skills.

Yu Ningyao was only pretending to be asleep, but as soon as she closed her eyes and was in her mother's arms, she somehow felt sleepy and then drifted off to sleep.

……

The Shen family acted swiftly.

Following Yu Kangjing's suggestion, they first investigated the restaurant, and then found the old doctor and asked him to put on a show, pretending to release the news that Shen Youqian had been poisoned.

The Zhang family was shocked when they heard the news and immediately became restless.

Zhang Lishan, the patriarch of the Zhang family, immediately brought gifts and paid a visit.

After all, Shen Youqian had drunk with him that day.

If he were poisoned and something happened, he would be the prime suspect.

He rushed over in a great hurry.

Upon hearing that Zhang Lishan had come to visit, everyone felt that if they were going to put on an act, they should go all the way.

So he made Shen Youqian lie back down on the bed, pretending to be sickly and on the verge of death.

Zhang Lishan was terrified when he saw him like this.

"How could this be?"

"What did the doctor say?"

"I didn't poison you, and I don't know why I'm alright."

Seeing his panicked appearance, Shen Youxian came out to comfort him: "Brother Zhang, we all know that this has nothing to do with you. After all, our two families are about to cooperate, and you would never do such a thing."

“That’s right, that’s right.” Zhang Lishan nodded hurriedly.

"What exactly happened?" he couldn't help but ask.

Shen Youxian recounted what had happened that day.

Zhang Lishan was terrified. Fortunately, the Shen brothers spilled the wine, preventing him from drinking the poison on the spot and dying.

"Thanks to you all, you are my saviors." He breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then he looked at Shen Youqian with concern: "How is Brother Shen? Did the doctor say when he will recover?"

"Don't worry, the doctor prescribed an antidote. After taking it, you just need to rest for a while," Shen Youxian answered on behalf of his brother.

Zhang Lishan nodded: "That's good, that's good."

"Who do you think would harm my older brother?" Shen Youxian sighed.

Zhang Lishan hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Brother Shen has always been kind to others, so he shouldn't have any enemies, right?"

"Could it be that the Xu family is holding a grudge against you and is now cooperating with us?" Shen Youqian asked weakly from the bed.

The two brothers spoke in unison, and Zhang Lishan felt that what they said made a lot of sense.

The Xu family members are vindictive and always calculating in business.

His father had many complaints about their previous collaborations, so as soon as he took over, he planned to change partners.

Could this really harm the eldest brother of the Shen family?

"Brother Shen, don't worry, he's after both of our families. I will do my best to help you find the real culprit!" Zhang Lishan said angrily.

Shen Youxian cupped his hands in greeting: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Zhang. After you leave the Shen family, if anyone asks, please say that we have found out who poisoned him. Once my brother is feeling better, he will go out to report and take him to court."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely get it done." Zhang Lishan said and then hurriedly left.

After he left, Shen Youqian immediately lifted the blanket and sat up straight.

He stretched his arms: "Ouch, I'm exhausted. Acting is really not easy."

"Alright, alright, let's just wait for news," Shen Youxian comforted him.

In order to create the impression that something had happened to Shen Youqian, the entire Shen family stayed indoors, and Shen Jinzhu and the others could only remain in the mansion.

"The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Once things are settled, Mother will take you to see the lanterns," Shen Jinzhu comforted the children who couldn't go out.

"Okay." Yu Ziheng and Yu Zicong nodded sensibly.

Yu Ziying pouted, but still nodded in agreement.

Yu Ningyao had no objections at all.

The Shen family home is quite large; she couldn't explore it all in a short time with her short legs.

Moreover, her cousins ​​are very enthusiastic, always praising her and asking her to play. She was forced to perform the fish summoning act several times, and now she would rather hide next to her mother and do nothing.

Seeing how sensible they were, Shen Jinzhu smiled with satisfaction.

Their family was happy and harmonious, while the Xu family was frantic with worry.

"Is Shen Youqian really poisoned?" Old Master Xu Liang paced back and forth anxiously at home.

"Yes, that's what the doctor said. Zhang Lishan didn't look well after leaving the Shen family. I had someone secretly inquire, and he was indeed poisoned," the servant hurriedly replied.

"Is he dead?" Xu Liang pressed.

"No. I heard the treatment was very timely, and they even found the person who poisoned him. Once Master Shen recovers, they'll go to the yamen to file a complaint." The servant glanced cautiously at the eldest young master, Xu Xingcai, standing beside him.

"They're talking nonsense. How could they possibly find the person who poisoned us? I've taken care of everything," Xu Xingcai shouted angrily.

"Shut up!" Xu Liang glared at his son.

"I went to the restaurant to inquire, and they said that as soon as the incident happened, the Shen family sent people back to look for evidence. Apparently, they found the leftover powder packet, and the waiter even saw the person who put the drug in there." The waiter lowered his head after speaking.

"Impossible, I'm very cautious," Xu Xingcai quickly shook his head.

"You're so cautious!" Xu Liang couldn't take it anymore and kicked his son.

"I think you've only drunk a few pounds of cat pee and don't know your own limitations. You even dared to poison the Shen family. I've heard that his sister, who married into the Marquis's mansion, has returned home. If they go to the yamen to make a scene, I might not be able to save your dog's life."

"Father, you have to save me, you can't abandon me." Xu Liang panicked.

He did drink yesterday, and in a fit of anger, he ordered his personal servant to buy medicine and pretend to be a waiter at a restaurant to deliver the wine to Zhang Lishan and Shen Youqian.

After delivering the wine, he immediately sent his servant to the estate to avoid trouble.

How could the Shen family possibly have found out?!

"Shut up. From now on, don't leave the house, and don't do anything stupid. Let me handle it." Xu Liang took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and told the servant to continue to find out the situation so he could devise a plan.

Xu Xingcai was resentfully locked back in his room.

But he simply couldn't sit still.

Every half hour, he would call the servants over and ask them if their father, Xu Liang, had taken any action.

He became anxious upon learning that his father had done nothing.

"No, I can't just sit here and wait to die."

He couldn't wait any longer; he had to handle this himself.

What if his father doesn't want to help him anymore? After all, he's not the only son in the Xu family.

He also has two half-brothers!

Thinking of this, he immediately called over another trusted servant, had him lean close, and whispered his plan in his ear.
