Shen Yilan frowned and asked softly, "Are there any other guests at the banquet today who have symptoms of poisoning?"
The attendant shook his head, "If there were others, I'm afraid they would have come to the door long ago, but now she is the only one."
"This is strange. What she ate was eaten by everyone else. How come she was poisoned when others were fine?" Shen Yilan bit her lip and was silent for a while before saying, "Go and report it to the old lady." Then she said to the maid who was following her behind her, "Go and tell the housekeeper, and ask him to take the invitation from our residence and go to Situ's residence to find Mr. Liu Situ. Tell him about this matter, and then say, If it is really the fault of the Duke's Mansion, the Duke's Mansion will definitely not shirk its responsibility, but now that the truth is unknown, Young Master Liu is making such unreasonable troubles, I'm afraid there is something wrong."
The maid responded and left.
Yun Shang turned her eyes and looked at the woman standing next to her who was biting her lip in thought. She thought to herself that although she looked cheerful and savage, she was also smart. Such a woman, It's quite worth making friends with.
The man lowered his head and glanced at the boy whose ears she had pinched. He snorted and said to the other maid, "Take this boy back and watch him closely. Don't let him run around."
The maid quickly agreed, bent down, hugged Yan'er and went to the other side.
Yun Shang was dumbfounded, but Shen Yilan had already held Yun Shang's hand and sighed, "The Liu family has always had an unpleasant temperament, but I don't know who has such a deep hatred for her that she actually committed such a vicious attack. But let’s just start with it, why do we have to fight against our Duke’s Mansion? I’m afraid we won’t be at peace for a while again.”
Yun Shang pondered for a moment and then said, "The truth will eventually be found out, so Yilan doesn't have to worry."
While the two were talking, they saw another servant running over in a hurry. Shen Yilan grabbed him again and asked what happened.
Yun Shang recognized that it was the servant who had just picked up Liu's jade pendant at the banquet, and turned his eyes over.
The servant's face turned a little pale. When he saw Shen Yilan and Yun Shang, he turned red suddenly. He held his stomach and shook his head. When Shen Yilan saw this, he snorted, "I'm worried, go ahead, go ahead."
The servant's face turned even redder and left.
"I went to meet Mr. Liu, and I heard that he is a playboy. He has been wandering around the land of fireworks for a long time, and his health must have been ruined. His wife was also found for him by his mother, and she is a good match, but she is a bit pampered. Young Master Liu was fresh for a while, and then he returned to his old ways, playing songs and singing every night, and even owed a lot of money in gambling houses and brothels. However, Mrs. Liu was also stupid. All the men around her behaved like that, and others followed her. She said she still didn't believe it, saying that her husband doted on her. He has grown a lot since marrying her and showed off every day. Many people in Jincheng looked at it as a joke." Shen Yilan pursed her lips.
Yun Shang remembered that when Mrs. Liu mentioned the jade pendant before, she blindly emphasized that it was a gift from her husband and how precious it was. Then she fell silent, fearing that Mrs. Liu was not unaware but just because she could not change it. I can only deceive myself and others.
When I walked to the door, I saw a young master with a somewhat pale face blocking the door. He was probably Mr. Liu. Behind him were dozens of servants, and the most exaggerated thing was that he was actually carrying a covered man. There was a white cloth stretcher, and what seemed to be a corpse was placed on it. There were already many people watching outside the door, blocking the street in front of the door.
Yun Shang frowned, this person must be too ridiculous, did he actually carry Liu's body over?
"Liu Huansheng, you are too unreasonable. If your wife is poisoned and dies, you can just report it to the official. Why are you making trouble in front of our house?" Shen Yilan frowned and let go of Yun Shang's hand, stepping forward. Two steps.
Liu Huansheng did not answer, but stared blankly behind Shen Yilan, with unabashed amazement in his eyes. Shen Yilan turned back to look at Yun Shang behind her, and took a step back, blocking her tightly. Yunshang.
Liu Huansheng frowned, then turned his attention to Shen Yilan, and said, "Shrew." Then he yelled loudly, "Fathers and fellow villagers, I can testify that my wife was fine when she went out this morning. I ate a birthday banquet in the Duke's Mansion alive and kicking, but before I even got to the door, I was already bleeding to death from my orifices. The birthday banquet in the Duke's Mansion is poisonous!"
Shen Yilan frowned and whispered, "This Liu Huansheng is really too much nonsense." Then she looked at Liu Huansheng again, snorted and said, "If the birthday banquet in the Duke's Mansion is poisonous, why is your wife the only one to show up?" It's over and everyone else is fine. Shouldn't it be that your daughter-in-law offended someone and was harmed by someone? You slandered the Duke's government without any basis. Even if you cause trouble to His Majesty, I will not be afraid of you. ." After a pause, he continued, "Besides, your daughter-in-law is dead, and the deceased is the most important, but you carried her body to the gate of our government's palace and exposed her body to the scorching sun. You... Is this worthy of your dead wife?"
Hearing this, the people around him looked at the body covered by white cloth, and all whispered to each other, "Even if you suspect the Duke's government, you shouldn't do this. If the body is exposed to the sun, it will not be reincarnated." "Yes, this young master of the Liu family is a bully. He has done all kinds of bad things. I don't know what bad idea he had this time." "It's so pitiful that the Duke's family is involved in such bad things for no reason."
Knowing how to win the hearts of the people first, Shen Yilan is undoubtedly smart. Yun Shang thought, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the familiar figure of the Duke and Madam appearing behind the gate. The place was blocked by the door. If Yun Shang hadn't fallen behind in the exam, she might not have done it. Discovered. Yun Shang raised his eyes and saw the Duke's wife standing there, but she didn't seem to have any intention of coming out.
Yun Shang pondered for a moment, then said nothing, quietly watching the abnormal development.
Liu Huansheng looked a little displeased when people accused him like this, "No matter what, my wife died after she came out of your Duke's mansion. You have to be responsible. Otherwise, don't blame me. I'm not polite." Already."
"Oh? How do you think we should be responsible? How can you be so rude?" Shen Yilan snorted coldly, raised her eyebrows and stared at Liu Huansheng like an idiot, with a look of disdain on her face.
"Compensate me with one hundred thousand taels of gold, and then give me the beauty behind you, and I will forgive you. If not, I will have people spread the word about your government poisoning people to death." Liu Huansheng His eyes lit up, but he pretended to be arrogant, raised his head, looked at the sky, and said slowly.
"Be outrageous!" "Be outrageous!" Two voices rang at the same time, one was Shen Yilan, and the other, Yun Shang, tilted her head slightly, looked out, and saw a carriage stopped outside the crowd, saying It was Liu Yinfeng, and the old man who was preparing to get off the carriage also had an ashen face, blue veins on his forehead, and the hand holding the cane was trembling slightly. It was Liu Jin.
When Liu Huansheng saw Liu Yinfeng and Liu Jin coming, his expression changed, and he turned around and ran in the other direction from where Liu Yinfeng and the others came. Yun Shang saw the white cloth move and was suddenly lifted open. There was someone lying underneath. But it was a servant who quickly followed Liu Huansheng out.
Liu Jin and Liu Yinfeng only had a few guards behind them. When Liu Jin saw this, he quickly stamped his cane and said in a loud voice, "Go, go, go and catch that traitor back to me. Are you going to rebel?"
The guard's martial arts must be quite good. After a few ups and downs, he rushed to Liu Huansheng, twisted Liu Huansheng up, and threw him to the forgotten stretcher covered with white cloth in the crowd. Liu Huansheng was thrown to the ground. He gritted his teeth and looked at a man dressed like a servant on the side, "Didn't I let you watch? Why didn't you tell them they were coming?"
Under the guard of the guards, Liu Jin and Liu Yinfeng had already pushed through the heavy human wall and walked to Liu Huansheng. With a livid face, Liu Jin raised his cane and hit Liu Huansheng. Liu Huansheng was beaten all over the ground. , but he also received several sticks.
After Liu Jin got tired after beating for a while, he walked to the Duke's Mansion and raised his hands, as if to bow to Shen Yilan. Seeing this, Shen Yilan quickly moved away and pushed Yun Shang out. She couldn't bear it when Situ bowed to him.
Yun Shang looked calm and resigned, and Liu Jincai quickly said, "This official did not teach his son well, and the princess was frightened. I hope the princess will forgive me."
When Liu Huansheng heard Liu Jin's words, he raised his head blankly and said, "Are you confused? What kind of princess is that shrew?" When he raised his head, he saw that Liu Jin was worshiping Yunshang. He was stunned again and trembled slightly. She raised her hand tremblingly and pointed at Yun Shang, "Wang...Princess?"
Liu Jin snorted, completely disappointed with his son's appearance, so he turned to the guard on the side and said, "Take the young master back to the house first."
Yun Shang glanced at Liu Huansheng indifferently, then turned to look at Liu Jin. After pondering for a moment, she spoke softly, "Master Situ is too polite. Logically speaking, the princess should not come forward in this matter, but Mr. Hua Guo is The prince's maternal grandfather's family and I are naturally considered to be part of the same family. I deeply regret what happened to Mrs. Liu, but the matter has not yet been clarified, and it is too early to say anything. The Duke's Office will also actively cooperate. After investigation, if the matter is really related to the Duke's Mansion, the Duke's Mansion will not shirk its responsibility. However, everything is not clear yet, so Young Master Ling made such a fuss, and the relationship with the Duke's Mansion was also somewhat damaged. If this matter reaches His Majesty's ears, I'm afraid I have to blame Lord Situ for being a poor teacher."
Liu Jin listened to Yun Shang's words quietly, and after Yun Shang finished speaking, he nodded, "I'll save it, my official. This matter has been handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for investigation. After the truth comes out, I will give it to the Duke on today's day." The government will give an explanation. But after all, the princess..."
Before Liu Jin finished speaking, he heard an old and powerful voice, "Shang'er said, that's what I want to say."
Everyone turned around and saw the Duke's wife slowly walking out of the door. (To be continued)
