A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

After hearing these words, Mrs. Chen froze in place. In the end, he still held on to the back of the chair next to him before he could stand upright.

What did Shen Zhixiu know? Impossible, there was no way he could find out anything so quickly.

He has always been a deep-minded person, and Bao Qi was here to deceive Su Qingyu.

The old lady was also shocked by Shen Zhixiu's words. This son had always been prudent in his words and deeds. He would never lie without evidence.

After Shen Zhixiu finished speaking, he bowed to the old lady and sat down under Shen Zhiheng.

The maid next to the old lady came in to serve tea, moving quietly and not daring to make a sound.

Shen Zhixiu picked up the tea cup and took a sip without saying a word.

When he raised his eyes to look at Su Qingyu across from him, his eyes that were as cold as ice before suddenly became filled with warmth.

Su Qingyu stared at Shen Zhixiu in a daze. Although he only glanced at her, she seemed to hear a voice from his eyes.

[Madam, don’t worry, I’ll leave the rest to my husband. 】

Shen Zhixiu didn't say anything, but that's how she felt.

Su Qingyu was only calm on the surface before, but in fact, she was always nervous. But now, she calmed down because of Shen Zhixiu's look.

Even though things haven't been resolved yet, she feels more at ease than ever. When that person sat down there, she felt as if she had taken a reassurance.

The old lady glanced at Shen Zhixiu, then gave Chen a look, signaling her to sit back first.

Mrs. Chen didn't dare to say anything, so she could only go back and sit down.

Shen Zhiheng glared at Chen, and Chen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he knew about it too?

But after Xiangdong's accident, Su Qingyu had no time to inform her subordinates of the news, let alone communicate with Shen Zhixiu.

She thought about it, but she still felt that Shen Zhixiu was deceiving her. With Shen Zhixiu's mind, it was not difficult to guess what was going on behind the scenes, but he didn't necessarily have evidence.

The person who changed the spices was something they wouldn't have expected. As long as they didn't catch him on the spot, it would be difficult to find out.

Thinking of this, Chen calmed down.

"What does Third Uncle mean by this? Although you are the second assistant in the cabinet and hold a high position, I am also your biological eldest sister-in-law. Are you just insulting your eldest sister-in-law like this?"

After saying that, he took out the cotton handkerchief and continued to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at the old lady.

"I beg my mother to make the decision for my daughter-in-law. I have been married to the Shen family for many years, and I can be said to be filial to my mother-in-law at first and kind to my brothers at the lowest. Now that my third uncle dares to humiliate me like this in front of so many people in the family, what kind of face do I have if word spreads about it? Just survive."

"I am also a mother-in-law. I am embarrassed in front of my daughter-in-law. My third uncle is going too far."

Chen tearfully denounced Shen Zhixiu, almost saying that Shen Zhixiu was bullying others by taking advantage of his power.

Su Qingyu stared at the cotton handkerchief in Chen's hand, and wanted to ask, after wiping tears all day, is the handkerchief wet?

After Chen finished speaking, Shen Zhixiu said, "Sister-in-law, have you finished speaking? Then let me do the talking."

He knew that Mrs. Chen would not shed tears until she saw the coffin. But if the evidence wasn't conclusive, why would he question his elder sister-in-law in public.

"Someone, bring Wu Laoqi up."

The words Wu Laoqi caused a flash of panic in Chen's eyes. Although he returned to normal in an instant, the old lady could still see clearly.

Mrs. Chen subconsciously glanced at Hongye behind her, but Hongye hadn't calmed down yet. She glared at Hongye warningly, signaling her not to mess up her position.

Wu Laoqi was brought up quickly. He was in his twenties and dressed in straight blue cloth.

He is the servant of the Shen family who takes care of the flowers and gardens, and is also the brother of Qinglian, the warehouse manager.

Shen Zhixiu looked at Wu Laoqi, "Did you change the spices in the warehouse?"

Wu Laoqi knelt on the ground, very scared, and took two deep breaths to calm down.

"Replying to the third master, I changed the spices. But I didn't know that the spices were poisonous. I beg the third master to spare my life."

Shen Zhixiu added, "Explain what is going on in detail."

Wu Laoqi swallowed nervously and continued to speak.

"It's the red leaves next to the eldest lady. She asked me to change them."

Hearing this, Hongye spoke excitedly, "You are slanderous. Master and madam, please don't listen to his nonsense and don't do anything like slaves."

Su Qingyu frowned, "How dare you, Third Master is asking questions, you have no right to interrupt. Pull him down first and slap him thirty times."

After saying that, Su Qingyu turned around and whispered to Jade, "When she is being beaten, go out and scare her."

Jade nodded and followed the women out calmly.

Before the couple interrogated her, they beat Chen's personal maid in unison. Hongye was beaten, and Chen was humiliated.

Chen wanted to speak to stop him, but she swallowed the words back because she felt guilty. She didn't know how much evidence Shen Zhixiu had in his hand, and while she was hesitating, the sound of a slap in the face came in.

There were crisp slaps, like a slap on Chen's face. The hatred towards Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu also reached its peak at this moment.

Su Qingyu looked at the expression on Chen's face meaningfully and sneered in her heart. This was just the beginning.

She would pay back the pain the Shen family had inflicted on her a hundred times a thousand times in her previous life.

Hongye was beaten outside, and Shen Zhixiu continued to ask Wu Laoqi.

"Tell me exactly what happened."

Wu Laoqi knelt on the ground and talked about what happened.

"Shunzi, who works with me, is from Hongye's hometown, so Hongye and I know each other. The day after the eldest young master got married, I was trimming the flowers used at the wedding banquet, and Hongye suddenly came to me."

"I didn't say anything at the time, I just gave me some snacks. They said they were leftovers from the Madam's reception, so she left some good ones for me."

"In the next few days, Hongye came to me often and said some vague words. The way he looked at me was different from before."

"The day before yesterday, she suddenly told me that... she was willing to marry me. She gave me those spices and asked me to change them quietly when I went to see my sister. She said that these spices are not as valuable as those in the warehouse, and the swapped out spices are sold The money is enough for us to get married."

Speaking of this, Wu Laoqi suddenly became angry.

"I just found out today that she has been engaged for a long time, to the steward next to the eldest lady. She told me this just to coax me into doing bad things."

"But I really don't know that there is poison in that spice. I beg you, Third Master, to have mercy on me."

After Wu Laoqi finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.

Just then, Hongye had finished slapping people and was brought in by two old women. Both sides of her cheeks were already red and swollen.

Hongye was beaten so hard that she was dizzy. Adding to that, Feicui's words made her panic. She had already entered the hall, but the sound of the slaps and Feicui's voice seemed to still float in her ears.

While she was unconscious, Shen Zhixiu asked.

"Hongye, who asked you to put those problematic spices in?"

"It's Madam."
