Reborn to be a mistress, she went crazy killing the legitimate daughter

The emperor dispatched the imperial guards to protect Prince Xing's family, and the guards of the marquis's mansion surrounded the mansion from front to back.

Now that there are many people in the mansion, Shen Yiran has no time to take care of these things, so he specifically handed over the kitchen affairs to Xu and Bo Jinxiu.

"After all, they are all imperial guards. The food cannot be too bad. It will bring shame to the Marquis' Mansion."

Xu and Bo Jinxiu agreed readily, made a lot of big promises, and agreed to it.

Shen Yiran warned again: "In an emergency, you cannot replace strangers. They are used to poisoning people. If something goes wrong in this regard, it will be the end."

After hearing this, Xu and Bo Jinxiu, who had also heard about the poisoning incident the day before, were a little hesitant to accept the call.

Shen Yiran said, "The doctor will check it out. As long as you are careful, it will be fine. Thank you, brother and sister-in-law, for your help. Otherwise, I can't handle it alone."

Xu was decisive and agreed immediately without paying attention to Bo Jinxiu's concerns.

Bo Jinjue returned to the mansion, but found that even he was being questioned by the guards, which made him very unhappy.

Rong Qingqing was complaining again that Shen Yiran gave all the benefits to the first wife and didn't take the second wife into consideration at all.

Bo Jinjue said, "That's right. I'm still wondering how to talk to the old lady about this. Why don't we take this opportunity to move out?"

Then he looked at Rong Qingqing and said, "Didn't your uncle move to Kyoto? Let's stay at his house for a few days. When I rent a house, we will move out and stop getting involved in these things."

Rong Qingqing felt a little worried after hearing this: "But, those people are scary after all. If we go out and they find us, what should we do?"

Bo Jinjue thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, just ask my third brother to send someone to look after it."

Tuantuan wanted nothing more than to get out; she could no longer bear staying in the mansion all day and hearing the servants making fun of her behind her back.

After hearing what Bo Jinjue said, he tried his best to persuade Rong Qingqing. The three of them made a plan, packed up their things that night, told Bo Jinnian early in the morning, and the family left the Marquis' Mansion in a carriage.

No matter how Bo Jinnian tried to persuade them, it was useless. Shen Yiran said, "Let's send more good people to protect them."

Bo Jinnian had no choice but to arrange for his trusted followers to protect Bo Jinjue's family as it was not convenient for him to report this to the old lady.

"This matter cannot be delayed. I will go and ask the old prince for his opinion, and you go and investigate those spies."

After hearing this, Bo Jinnian nodded in agreement and said nothing more. They each went about their business.

When the old prince heard Prince Xing tell him how the whole mansion had arranged things for them and how His Majesty had deployed the imperial guards, he just nodded silently and told Prince Xing: "This is a big favor. You must find a way to repay it in the future."

Shen Yiran heard this and came in to the outer room, holding Cao Yuqin's hand and sighing, "My second brother's family is so scared that they have moved out of the house with their daughter. I dare not tell the old lady yet."

After he finished speaking, he made sure that the people in the room could hear him, then he asked, "Is the old prince okay?"

Cao Yuqin immediately brought Shen Yiran in to visit.

Shen Yiran sat at the table and said only some comforting words, which made Prince Xing and Cao Yuqin feel embarrassed and they were very grateful and thanked him profusely.

"No need to do that. The old lady said that this is a matter of maintaining our country's national prestige. Our mansion has an unshirkable responsibility."

The old prince was somewhat moved when he heard this: "The Marquis's family is loyal and brave, and three generations have been loyal. This prince knows it."

Then he asked King Xing to help him up and sit up straight: "I know something and I can tell you."

Shen Yiran raised his hand to stop the old prince from speaking, and stood up to personally order the guards to guard the doors and windows. Then he came in and said, "Better safe than sorry."

Cao Yuqin held Prince Xing's hand, somewhat afraid of what she was about to hear.

Shen Yiran had actually already made some guesses, but he still had to hear it from the old prince himself to be sure.

The old prince said: "Yes, I added the poison needle, but it was triggered that year. This time the poison needle was not my work. But..."

The old prince raised his eyes and stared at Shen Yiran: "I think you have already guessed it, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have left my wife to look after her alone."

Shen Yiran pursed his lips and smiled: "You are showing off your skills in front of the old prince. It is not easy to disguise yourself and make a human skin mask. You must know the person you are disguising very well."

"I think the old prince and his wife have always loved each other, so it is impossible that they could have been switched without being discovered. So the woman who was poisoned must have had a close relationship with his wife."

"After I saved the lady, she watched the old prince get injured and his family almost get killed, but she still refused to say anything. I think there must be something wrong."

Cao Yuqin was very shocked. She held Prince Xing's hand and muttered, "I really thought that Madam was unwell and that the doctor was taking care of her alone..."

Prince Xing stared at her and signaled her not to interrupt at this moment.

The old prince said, "That's right. Back then, this woman sneaked into the mansion to be a maid, but I fell in love with her. After my wife passed away, she saved my life. In order to prevent those people from looking for her, I lived in seclusion in the mountains. I didn't expect that--"

"I didn't expect those people to find her and convince her that she was the one who installed the poison needle. She has learned a lot from you, the old prince, over the years."

"She also helped arrange the ambush in the house. Otherwise, with the methods used by these people, she should have been killed directly instead of being tied up on the mountain."

The old prince lowered his head in some pain, sighed and said, "I didn't expect that several years of kindness could not influence her. She did this in the first place, probably just to take advantage of me!"

Shen Yiran couldn't answer directly, so he just said, "I never asked."

The old prince said again: "This is the fact. You can take her to report to the emperor."

As he said this, he closed his eyes, looking very tired.

After hearing this, Shen Yiran looked at Cao Yuqin, nodded, then immediately stood up and left.

The old lady has been under strict surveillance and must be questioned immediately.

"Come here, follow me to the west wing!"

The old lady was not completely unaware of it. She hadn't seen the old prince for several days, and she already had an idea in her mind.

Seeing that Shen Yiran had finally arrived, she slowly sat up from the bed and said, "Madam Hou is here."

Shen Yiran walked in with a smile, sat beside the bed, and reached out to help her lie down.

Suddenly, he felt a chill in his lower abdomen. He lowered his head to look, but heard the woman threatening him coldly, "Don't make a sound. If you dare to say one more word, I will kill you!"

Shen Yiran had no choice but to agree after hearing this. He looked very flustered: "What are you going to do?"

The old lady didn’t know what was happening in the hut, and she pushed the dagger closer: “Let them all go out and close the door!”

Shen Yiran was very obedient, with a look of panic on his face: "I listened to you and did what you said, can you let me go now?"

"Tell me, where are those people in the room?"

Shen Yiran heard and said, "People? The old prince, the young prince, and the princess are all fine. Although they were poisoned before, they were saved by the imperial physician."

After hearing this, the old lady pondered for a while, which meant that all their people had been arrested.

She looked up at the sky, feeling extremely desperate, but the dagger in her hand never relaxed for a moment.

"You find a way to get me out!"
