Chapter 39 Prison
Chapter 39 Prison
Su Muxi asked Zhiyan to divide the food and deliver it to the four people guarding the courtyard.
Zhi Juan served her the food while saying, "Princess, what do you think the prince meant just now?"
She was also confused. Just now in Xianghe Hall, all the ladies except the seventh wife were kneeling on the ground. It was obvious that something big had happened during the time she was away.
But every time Madam He opened her mouth, Xiao Yunjin retorted, and then opened his mouth again to retort. Finally, he just said hello and was led out. Until now, no one knew what happened.
"Go and ask around. If it doesn't cause any trouble to us, just ignore it."
"I have already given orders."
After lunch and a nap, doctors were called in. They took her pulse one after another and all said that she was in good health.
After wandering around for an hour, the person he was waiting for finally showed up. Zhiyan came into the room and reported that Madam Seven had brought Mr. Chengnan.
Su Muxi was sitting in the main hall. When she saw someone coming, she stood up to greet them, "Aunt Qi, why did I bother you to come here?"
Madam Qi left in a hurry, and seeing that she was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief, "When I heard that Fangfeiyuan called for a doctor, I hurried to invite Mr. Chengnan to come over."
Su Muxi helped him sit down. "It's nothing serious. I just feel dizzy."
"Dizziness is no small matter. We really need to take a good look at it." Madam Qi was relieved to see that she was fine. "I will leave Mr. Chengnan here and go back first. I will send someone to take him back later."
"Yu Rao can't do without someone. There are many idle people in my courtyard. I will send someone to take Mr. Chengnan home later."
"That's fine, I'll leave first."
Please send some cigarettes to Madam Seven for me.
Su Muxi stretched out her hand for Mr. Chengnan to feel her pulse, "How is it?"
"It's okay, I just feel a little irritated. I'll leave you a recipe for food tonic later."
"I have no internal strength at all."
"I can't tell from your pulse. I need a drop of your blood."
Su Muxi motioned him to prick, "I gave you the blood today, have you found anything?"
"You think I'm a god. Can that be called a blood sample? I thought it was the veil for your marriage consummation."
Su Muxi's forehead twitched, and she tried to ignore his words that didn't fit her image. She let him cut a hole on her fingertips, and then waved the jade bottle in front of her, "See? This is a blood sample, a fresh blood sample. Only then can I analyze what kind of poison it is?"
"I'm trying to figure out what to do with the blood sample. When will the results of mine come out?"
"Tomorrow! I'm tired after running two times today."
Su Muxi closed her eyes due to headache and waved her hand, "Let's send you off with cigarettes."
"Headache is a disease. Do you want me to give you some medicine?" Seeing that Su Muxi did not respond, Mr. Chengnan shook his head, "Send someone to the seventh room early tomorrow morning to ask me for the antidote. Your courtyard makes people uncomfortable."
Xiao Yunjin stood in the pavilion, looking at the people coming and going in Fangfei Courtyard.
His wife's temperament is almost completely out of his control. You say she is rash in doing things, but she is also very meticulous.
You say she is meticulous, but she acts boldly and without regard for the consequences.
However, after only a few days in the mansion, he had won over the seventh branch. The seventh branch lost its legitimate son, and its legitimate daughter was bewitched by the princess and almost lost her life. Such a person is a killing knife and a tiger that devours its master.
What exactly does this lady want to do?
Normally, he seldom cared about the affairs of the rear quarters of the Marquis's Mansion. Firstly, it was not his home, and secondly, he did not think that a bunch of jealous women could do anything.
But all his plans were ruined by the women in the back house, forcing him to pay attention.
This lady was resting at home for one day when something unexpected happened in the family. The fourth and fifth wives sued the third wife for embezzling public funds, leaving a lot of holes.
The third wife argued with reason and collected all the evidence, then turned around and sued the fourth and fifth wives for embezzling money and framing her.
The harmonious scene in the Marquis' Mansion may soon be hidden.
All of this started when his good wife came into the house.
"Keep an eye on this Mr. Chengnan and investigate him thoroughly."
"Yes."
"Tell the Marquis to deal with this family's mess and not to trouble my new wife."
Cang Jue nodded and said "yes."
Fangfei Courtyard finally returned to peace. Xiao Yunjin took another look and said, "Cover up this pavilion."
"My subordinate understands."
Su Muxi never imagined that by cutting down the trees outside Fangfei's yard, she would expose the entire yard to Xiao Yunjin's eyes.
Jiang Mingxuan was sent to the Dali Temple in the morning, and in the afternoon, news came out that Jiang Mingxuan had died in prison.
As soon as Su Muxi sent Mr. Chengnan off, he was invited to the Dali Temple.
She didn't know the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, she only knew that his name was Chang Xu. An Yutang was not there, and the yamen runners were standing on both sides, obviously wanting to hold him accountable.
Obviously, the invitation at the beginning was just a ploy out of fear that she would not come, so Su Muxi bowed in greeting.
"Master Chang, what does this mean?"
Chang Xu, the Dali Temple official, said, "Lord Su, this jade bottle is yours."
It was the jade bottle containing the antidote for the muscle softening powder that Xiao Yunjin gave her this morning. "No."
"Jiang Mingxuan died of poisoning, and the poison is in this jade bottle. Lord Su, you..." How could he explain? The word was stuck in his throat. He never expected that Su Muxi would not recognize him.
After taking a breath, he said angrily: "The owner of Fusheng Restaurant has confirmed that this thing fell from you."
Su Muxi said nonchalantly: "Maybe I remembered it wrong."
"The poison is in your bottle, how do you explain it?"
"Master Chang, as the Minister of the Dali Temple, you must know the term framing!"
"Let's not talk about how many of these medicine bottles there are in the capital. The few hours they were lost is enough for many people to do something with them."
"Master Chang, instead of focusing on me, you might as well check the people who came into contact with Jiang Mingxuan or the medicine bottle today. Maybe you can get something."
"How dare you! I am the one asking you a question. Don't think that you can use your power to oppress others just because you are a princess."
"Master Chang, it's you who are using your power to oppress others, not me. I am just stating my opinion."
Chang Xu felt that Su Muxi was really difficult to deal with. Thinking of the instructions from above, he could only bite the bullet and say:
"Come here, Princess Anping is the suspect in this case. She has been detained in the Dali Temple and is under investigation."
