Chapter 2033 Pretending to be Poisoned
Chapter 2033 Pretending to be Poisoned
The faces of the three people suddenly changed, and Qin Wenxuan even smashed the wine glass.
"Who prepared the wine today?" He was angry at the servants. Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin were confused and wanted to speak, but were blocked by Qin Wenxuan's words.
"Father and mother, someone has poisoned the wine. Don't touch these dishes for now. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
Hearing about the poisoning, Mr. Qin's hands trembled and he stood up: "Xuan'er, this matter must be investigated thoroughly. Your mother and I will go back to rest first and will not hinder you."
Qin Wenxuan nodded and watched the two elders leave. Several maids were so scared that they knelt on the ground, trembling: "Master, I don't know."
“The wine was brought back from the winery in accordance with previous requirements and placed in the kitchen, and then taken out for the dinner... I don’t know how it could be poisonous.” The little maidservant trembled slightly and kept explaining, and the others kowtowed in agreement.
Seeing them so scared, Qin Wenxuan frowned. He knew in his heart that these maids had no motive to poison.
"Yueying." Qin Wenxuan called out, and a black figure instantly appeared, half kneeling at his feet: "Go and investigate this matter thoroughly, and make sure to find the person who poisoned you."
"Yes, master."
Yueying's figure merged into the darkness. Qin Wenxuan waved his hand and ordered the servants, "Take away anyone who has come into contact with the wine. Don't let them out until the matter is investigated clearly."
"Yes, young master."
The servants dragged the maids away. Qin Wenxuan turned to look at Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, his face full of apology: "Sir, Madam, I was negligent today and let someone take advantage of me. I'm really sorry!"
As he spoke, he bent down deeply and bowed to the two of them. Seeing Qin Wenxuan apologize so sincerely, Wan Shufang pursed her lips and looked at Chen Changli.
They both believed that he was unaware of the poisoning. Thinking of something, Chen Changli's eyes narrowed and his tone was calm: "It's okay, but please ask Minister Qin to dismiss the servants first. We still need to discuss this matter carefully."
"Of course." Qin Wenxuan waved his hand, very cooperative, and ordered the Qin mansion servants: "All of you go out. Without my order, no one is allowed to approach the main courtyard again."
"Yes, young master." The servants obeyed the order and left the main courtyard in an orderly manner.
Seeing that everyone had left, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang returned to their seats and sat down. Qin Wenxuan also moved a chair and sat opposite them.
After the surroundings quieted down and made sure that there was no one around, Wan Shufang asked seriously, "Minister Qin, have you offended anyone recently?"
The poisoned wine appeared in the Qin Mansion. The most likely possibility is that it was the enemy of the Qin family. However, Qin Wenxuan shook his head, his eyes full of doubts: "No, I have only been back for a few days and have hardly seen any outsiders."
"Qiwu Town is far away from Yongzhou City, so it's unlikely that he's seeking revenge."
He looked at Chen Changli and Wan Shufang. If there was anyone in the Qin family with whom he had a grudge, it would probably be these two. Chen Changli and the other man immediately understood his complicated look and were speechless for a moment.
He glanced around and didn't see Feng Yingying's seat. The suspicion in his mind became stronger: "Wenxuan, Feng Yingying didn't come to the banquet today?"
"No, she hasn't left the side hospital for a long time since Tianci died."
"Oh, maybe I know who poisoned him." Chen Changli sneered, facing the two people's suspicious looks, and said softly: "I met Feng Yingying and the groom at the inn before."
"The two of them were secretly communicating with each other, which was unbearable to watch... By the way, Qin Tianci should have just died at that time. If we talk about enmity, it might be because I offended him."
Thinking of the way Feng Yingying looked at him at that time, and the people who followed him later, everything seemed to be explained. Upon hearing this, Qin Wenxuan was suddenly shocked.
He had seen the groom before. He had been with Feng Yingying for several days, but he had never suspected anything.
"If that's the case, then Tianci's death..." Qin Wenxuan thought of something and his expression instantly became embarrassed. When Qin Tianci died, the groom was also there!
Seeing the anger on his face, Chen Changli reached out and patted his shoulder: "Wenxuan, don't make this public for now."
After he finished speaking, Wan Shufang also nodded and agreed: "That's right, we should wait and see, and catch them when they are having an affair. This way, we can comfort your brother's spirit in heaven. Otherwise, how can we convince the public without evidence?"
After hearing the two people's dissuasion, Qin Wenxuan pondered for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed. His eyes were filled with fatigue. After all, before coming back, he had never thought that there would be so many troubles in his hometown.
Qin Wenxuan took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "So what should we do next?"
"Since the other party has poisoned her, how can we let her efforts go unrewarded?" Wan Shufang said, raising her eyebrows, with a hint of smile in her eyes: "Let's take advantage of their tricks."
After she finished speaking, she took out rouge and powder from her bosom and applied the dark color on Chen Changli's lips.
When she looked like she was poisoned, Wan Shufang closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, they were filled with tears. Chen Changli just smiled helplessly and lay obediently on the ground.
"Changli, Changli, what's wrong with you?" she shouted loudly, even shouting outside the yard.
Qin Wenxuan was stunned by the sudden actions of the two. When he received the hint from Wan Shufang's eyes, he quickly came back to his senses and asked someone to carry Chen Changli back to the room.
"Someone, come quickly, the Duke has been poisoned, go get a doctor."
The Qin Mansion was suddenly plunged into chaos. Qin Wenxuan arranged a house for the two of them and went to find a doctor and buy medicinal herbs.
Naturally, the movements in the main courtyard could not be hidden from the side courtyard. When the news was passed back to Feng Yingying, her face was full of joy: "That's great. The medicine is highly poisonous and can't be saved. Once Chen Changli dies, no one will know my secret."
"Madam, you poisoned the wine, aren't you afraid that something might happen to other members of the Qin family?" The groom asked in a puzzled tone, his hand still on her leg, massaging it and taking advantage of it.
"I'm not a fool." Feng Yingying rolled her eyes, picked up a small mirror, and looked at her carefully maintained appearance: "I only applied the poison on Chen Changli's cup, it should only kill him."
She still had to rely on the Qin family for her livelihood, so it was impossible for her to kill all of the Qin family members. Moreover, Qin Wenxuan was the Shangshu, and he had power and influence...
After thinking everything through, the groom couldn't help but sigh secretly that women have the most vicious hearts, but he still flattered her and made Feng Yingying smile.
"Madam is wise."
"Of course. Next, we just need to wait for the news. Give me a massage."
"Yes, ma'am."
Soon, bursts of noise were heard in the side courtyard, but Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were unaware of this. They just sat in the room, counting the time out of boredom.
I just hope Qin Wenxuan can investigate faster.
