Chapter 50: Happy Events Continue, and Concubines Are Rampant

Jiang Sili looked startled. Does the Yangling Marquis Mansion take concubines so frequently?

But after thinking about it, it suddenly became clear. Isn't it bad to have too many concubines? After all, looking at the whole Shengjing, where else can I find a second home for such a good job besides Shen Qing?

So Jiang Sili responded with a smile on his face, "Then I will just wait for the news of the young lady."

Shen Qing nodded and signaled Chanyi to send the person away.

Before leaving the house, Shen Qing glanced at the young man in Tsing Yi with a complicated expression, and said with a smile, "How about it, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

The boy in Tsing Yi frowned. He never thought that his master was really the Marquis of the dynasty, and his thoughts were mixed for a while.

"I have offended many of you today. Please forgive me, Madam."

"It doesn't matter. I think you are sincere. Why don't you come to my place to do things?"

Because they were afraid of exposing their identities, the young men in green clothes and their entourage were not people under Yangling Marquis, but were hired on a temporary basis.

The boy in Tsing Yi was stunned. He didn't expect that Shen Qing would extend an olive branch to him. While hesitating, Shen Qing said, "You can think about it first. If you have made up your mind, you can come to me at any time."

After saying that, Shen Qing and Aunt Qiu left the main hall.

…

Tinglan Courtyard.

After the girls prepared the meals, Shen Qing sent everyone away, leaving only Chanyi.

"How is the investigation going on Lin Xuefu's miscarriage?"

After Lian Rui hanged herself a few days ago, Yangling Marquis closed the case of Lin Xuefu's miscarriage.

Because in Lian Rui's room, a confession letter was found. The letter was very straightforward. The reason why she attacked Lin Xuefu was because Lin Xuefu discovered her secret.

Lian Rui had a sweetheart in the house, who was the boy who looked after the stables, but during an affair, she was accidentally seen by Lin Xuefu. Lian Rui was afraid that she would tell anyone, so she ruthlessly killed her, but she didn't want to just make her lose her. He gave birth to the child, but did not take her life.

After knowing that the matter could no longer be hidden, Lian Rui was afraid that the Mu family would torture her, so she directly chose to commit suicide.

Afterwards, both Lin Xuefu and the stable boy confirmed that this was indeed the case, and the stable boy also said that Lian Rui's state was indeed not right in those few days. She looked frightened every day, which was exactly what was written in the letter. superior.

There was no longer any doubt about the matter, so Yangling Marquis had Lian Rui's body thrown into a mass grave and expelled the stable boy from the house, finally settling the matter.

However, Mu Ziqian refused to admit anything. Although all the evidence pointed to Lian Rui, Mu Ziqian always felt that Shen Qing must have bribed Lian Rui and planned this plot with all his heart, in order not to Make it easier for him and Lin Xuefu.

Although Shen Qing was too lazy to pay attention to Mu Ziqian's madness, his thoughts were consistent with his.

Shen Qing had seen that girl Lian Rui, who looked so loyal. Moreover, even if the affair was discovered by Lin Xuefu, according to Lin Xuefu's good character in the house, she could only ask for one thing and there would be no consummation. In the ending, she was decisive and thorough, as if someone was behind the scenes.

So Shen Qing asked Chanyi to send someone to pick up Lian Rui's body, and then asked Chanyi to investigate the matter carefully. It has been three days.

Chanyi first poured a bowl of black chicken soup for Shen Qing, and then said, "My slave has asked people to carefully examine the lotus pistil. Although there is no trace of struggle on her body, she has found something in her stomach. The drug has not been digested yet, so she should be knocked unconscious first and then hanged. "

In other words, Lian Rui did not commit suicide, so the confession letter was naturally a cover-up.

After taking a slow sip of chicken soup, Shen Qing gestured to Chanyi to continue, "In addition, I also asked people to check the whereabouts of the stable boy. The strange thing is that after the man was expelled from the house by the Marquis, he looked like It seems that he has completely disappeared. I sent people to search for him for several days but could not find his whereabouts. "

Shen Qing responded, "No need to look for him, he is probably dead."

Shen Qing had already guessed the identity of the person behind the scenes.

Apart from Mu Xueliu, Shen Qing could not think of anyone else in Yanglinghou Mansion who could handle things so neatly and without leaving any clues.

"Keep an eye on the house these days to see who has frequent contact with Mu Xueliu, and be careful not to alert the enemy."

Chanyi agreed, then asked in confusion, "Miss, do you think this matter was the work of the crown prince's concubine?"

Shen Qing nodded, "According to my guess, I'm afraid there are still a lot of informants left by her in the house. Let's dig them out one by one first. As for how to deal with them, we will talk about it later."

Although Shen Qing was not interested in Lin Xuefu's life and death, he could not tolerate anyone making trouble under his nose.

Mu Xueliu's hands were stretched too long, so Shen Qing didn't mind helping her trim them.

"Has Yangling Hou been with Aunt Chen recently?"

At first, Shen Qing thought that Marquis Yangling only raised Qin Luan outside, but it was not until he followed her for half a month that he discovered that in addition to Qin Luan, Marquis Yangling also raised Aunt Chen in the south of the city. There should be another one outside, but Shen Qing's specific whereabouts have not yet been found.

That's why Shen Qing told Jiang Sili today that there will be a happy event to be held in the Yangling Marquis Mansion in the next few days.

Qin Luan has already entered the mansion, and he is not afraid of another Aunt Chen. Shen Qing can already vaguely predict how lively the Yanglinghou Mansion will be in the future.

Unlike Qin Luan, Aunt Chen was Yanglinghou's concubine from the beginning, but because Yanglinghou's wife disliked her appearance and origin, she found an excuse to send her to a nunnery a hundred miles away from Shengjing. .

Aunt Chen was not willing to spend the rest of her life with the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, so she secretly found someone to deliver the letter, and then she was picked up by Marquis Yangling, who then kept her in Jiaohua Lane in the south of the city for more than five years. .

Chanyi said truthfully, "I only went there once ten days ago, and I stayed there for half a day, and I haven't been there since."

Shen Qing nodded, "The Yangling Marquis Mansion is in chaos these days. I guess he doesn't have the energy to deal with those Yingying Yanyan, but don't take it lightly. I'm very curious as to whether our Marquis is out there." Raised a few.”

…

Shen Qing had lunch and then went to sleep. When she woke up, she heard Chan Yi come to report that Qin Luan had been placed by Yang Linghou in Fuchuntang, the farthest place from Qifutang. However, the two of them had not seen each other since they returned from the main hall. When they came out, Marquis Yangling was probably still struggling to explain; Mrs. Marquis Yangling woke up once, and when she heard that she was brought back by the guards in the courtyard, she was so angry that she fainted again on the spot; Mu Ziqian's leg was injured It became serious again. The doctor told him not to move anymore this time, otherwise he might really get the root of the disease. Mu Ziqian was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he swore that he would not do anything again unless the Hongyan Hall collapsed. Got out of bed.

Seeing Chanyi's expressions of joy, Shen Qing couldn't help but smile, "Are you happy now?"

Chanyi nodded, unable to hide the joy on her face, "It's so happy."

Shen Qing smiled and said, "In that case, then wait for me to dress."

Chanyi put on Shen Qing's coat and asked, "Miss, are you planning to go out?"

Shen Qing nodded, the smile in his eyes shining brightly like a few stars, "Well, Marquis Yangling still owes us one thousand five hundred taels of silver. I have to go and get it back."
