Chapter 728 The Deal Before Death

"It's great that Madam is awake. Can you ask Madam what is wrapped in this oil paper buried in the mud behind your ancestral hall and where did it come from? Why do you have such a thing in your house?"

Seeing that Mrs. Xingguo was awake, Aunt Xi quickly stepped forward, got in front of Mrs. Xing and asked.

She couldn't help but not be anxious. This kind of matter was related to the palace, and it was also related to the Queen. She had to report it to the Queen. If she didn't figure it out, she would definitely be scolded by the Queen after she returned.

What she just found was an ordinary chronic poison, but she couldn't deal with this one.

Seeing Aunt Xi's worried look, Shao Wanru looked at Aunt Zheng who was standing aside calmly, and then slowly lowered her head.

This powder was originally prepared by her at the suggestion of Aunt Zheng. She replaced it with another powder of chronic poison prepared by Concubine Shu before. As expected, Aunt Xi was very concerned about it. At the moment, it was the best to have Aunt Xi in front of her. Okay.

Even if Mrs. Tai is dissatisfied, it is against Grandma Xi. She only needs to watch from the side. The few words that Grandma Zheng said just now have already attracted people's attention. Fortunately, Grandma Zheng is a nurturing mother. Her identity has been revealed, otherwise the Madam would not have spared her based on the two sentences she just said.

The Tai Furen looked at Mrs. Xingguo with a gloomy face, and there was a gloominess between her eyebrows that others could not understand. Mrs. Xing Guo had been raised by the Tai Furen since she was a child. She didn't understand why she hated her so much, but she didn't care at this time. When she was the wife, Grandma Xi's words made her hear the crisis.

"This... I... I don't know what you are talking about..." She looked at Aunt Xi weakly, with a blank look on her face, pretending not to understand what Aunt Xi said.

“Mrs. But I don’t know how the poison got into the palace! And now it’s found behind the ancestral hall where you live.” Aunt Xi’s face darkened and she said displeased.

Mrs. Xingguo was at a loss at first, and then she seemed to have thought of something. Her face instantly stiffened, and she turned to Aunt Sheng almost in disbelief. Her lips trembled twice, and she looked at Aunt Sheng with eyes that were both sad and sad: "Aunt Sheng... You...why do you want to hurt me like this?"

The poisonous powder wrapped in oil paper was dug out from behind the ancestral hall. It can be seen that the poisonous powder was planted in the ancestral hall and was buried to avoid being discovered. There were only two people in the ancestral hall. The one who was poisoned was Mrs. Xingguo, so the poisoner must be Promoted to grandma.

Shao Wanru sneered in her heart, Mrs. Xingguo was quite cruel to her, and she did not poison Aunt Sheng at that time, otherwise she would have difficulty in justifying herself now.

His watery eyes swept across the Madam's face, and saw that the expression on her face was actually better than before, with a trace of ridicule flashing in her eyes.

"Madam... old slave... old slave..." Aunt Sheng plopped down on her knees in front of Mrs. Xingguo Gong, crying sadly and desperately.

She is really desperate, there is no way for her to survive now.

"Nanny Sheng, how did I treat you? I will remember you for everything in the past, because you were not only my personal nanny, but also the nanny of the Duke. After my mother gave you to me, you If you have been following me all this time, how can my mother’s people harm me! But now, you now...how can you let me and my mother down like this!"

Mrs. Xingguo cried weakly and tried hard to hold Grandma Sheng's hand, as if she wanted her to explain clearly why. However, after she stretched out her hand, she fell weakly, and she stumbled back heavily. Damn, I looked at Grandma Sheng with tears in my eyes, unable to say a word.

These words not only mentioned herself, but also the madam.

Madam Tai raised her eyes and glared at Aunt Sheng fiercely. She also remembered at this moment that she had indeed given Aunt Sheng to Jiang Wanyan in the first place. At that time, Jiang Wanyan came to her house and brought her The wet nurse was unmotivated, delicious, and lazy. She really couldn't bear it, so she assigned her second son's wet nurse to take care of her, and to show others that she cared about her niece. value.

The reason why the second son's wet nurse was sent was because his son had two wet nurses, and the two wet nurses were not peaceful together. It happened that one could be sent out to avoid the son's side being too peaceful.

When sending people away, he had always been very calm. Standing by his daughter-in-law's side for so many years really reassured her. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a betrayer, drugging his own wife, and using this method to communicate with the palace. How could the poison not make her resentful?

If the poison related to the palace is involved, even the Duke of Xingguo will not be able to get rid of it!

Thinking that one of her original good deeds turned out to be such a big deviation, the wife became even more angry with Aunt Sheng. If she had known that this dog slave had different intentions, she should have killed him early to avoid causing such trouble. Come.

When Aunt Xi opened her mouth, even though she was full of annoyance, she couldn't help but let her speak.

"Tell me, who asked you to frame your master?" the madam scolded.

"Madam... Madam... I can't say it... I can't say it..." Aunt Sheng cried loudly while searching the crowd with her eyes.

Aunt Zheng took a step forward and stood in front of Shao Wanru. She was taller than Shao Wanru, so she happened to block Shao Wanru tightly.

"The lady in charge who can command the most caring side of my wife must be no ordinary person. I think this person is also very powerful in the Xingguo Duke's palace. Otherwise, we can't let Grandma Sheng betray the master!" Grandma Zheng said slowly, His expression was calm.

Just when Aunt Sheng was looking for someone in the crowd, she knew something was wrong, so she stood in front of Shao Wanru and said these words.

Both she and Shao Wanru, who was standing behind her, understood that Aunt Sheng was trying to catch someone before she died. It must have been that before she came in, Aunt Sheng had a deal with Mrs. Jiang, the Duke of Xingguo, and that made her Aunt Sheng wanted to find Shao Wanru as a back-up.

After hearing what Aunt Zheng said, Aunt Sheng glared at her fiercely. She was already a dying person, so what else was there to be afraid of?

"That look is really fierce!" I don't know which little girl was frightened, and she muttered in a low voice.

"Who do you belong to, and why do you want to harm Mrs. Xingguo?" Aunt Xi was furious. She was actually ignored. She took a few steps to walk in front of Aunt Sheng and wanted to pull Aunt Sheng up.

Aunt Sheng shook off her hand with all her strength, and even pushed her away politely. She turned to look at the Madam: "Madam, this old slave was really killed by someone. It was five..."

Shao Wanru's heart skipped a beat, and she knew it was bad. If she really asked Aunt Sheng to say something related to her, she would not be able to clean herself up when Aunt Sheng dies.

"How dare you push Aunt Xi!" Aunt Zheng stretched out her hand and pushed Aunt Sheng. Aunt Sheng was pushed back several steps and almost fell down.

"How dare you be so arrogant as a slave of a despicable seller? Who gave you such courage!" Grandma Xi didn't expect that a woman who was caught in the act would dare to push her. At this time, she was already very angry. There was smoke in his Qiqiao, and he felt even more angry when he saw Aunt Zheng helping him to speak.

Since when do you need others to vent your anger?

He rushed to Aunt Sheng and slapped her face hard several times. The slaps immediately made Aunt Sheng’s face swell up. After the beating, she still couldn’t get over her anger, so she kicked her hard and knocked her face to pieces. Kicked and fell to the ground.

"Don't be angry, Auntie Xi. She's like this. It's hard to say that she's plotting rebellion. When the time comes, it will be a matter of killing the nine tribes. No one can save her!" They are both upbringing mothers, and they got along well before. Aunty Zheng He took two steps forward to stop Grandma Xi, pulled her back a few steps, and comforted her.

Aunt Sheng was kicked and fell to the ground. She struggled to look at Mrs. Xingguo, her face full of begging.

Kill the nine tribes? She never thought that not only would she die, but her descendants might also be killed. She did not dare to accept this.

She hesitated!

"Aunt Sheng, you also have children, how could you do such a thing...you...you are planning to kill me, your master. I used to be kind to others, but who do you want to harm me for? You tell me!" Mrs. Xingguo, who was on the bed, seemed to have regained her breath and cried loudly to Aunt Sheng.

Shao Wanru sneered in her heart. This was a very good thing to say. Dragging Aunt Xi to the level of rebellion and then dragging it back to the dispute in the women's inner courtyard would give Aunt Sheng confidence and let Aunt Sheng know that this It was just a backyard dispute, and she was the only one who died.

"Madam..." Aunt Sheng was in mourning. She really didn't want to sit back and die, but why didn't she understand the meaning of Madam's words? She had to agree to this matter.

Gritting her teeth, she scanned the crowd and still didn't see the fifth lady she wanted to see. But this time she had no intention of trapping Shao Wanru. When she was about to kill this man, her mind suddenly came to her senses. If the fifth lady was so calculating, , Madam will not fall into this situation!

Even she in the inner court knew about the crime of treason. It was a crime that punished the nine clans. Even if she was going to die, she had to be more decisive. The family really can't survive.

The fifth young lady is untouchable, but if you try to touch her, you will become entangled. Even if you die, your whole family may not be able to survive!

"Madam... I hope Madam... don't..." Mother Sheng stood up and burst into tears, but no one sympathized with her at this time. For a slave who betrayed his master, the fate was certain.

"Come here, take her down and torture her. You must find out where the poison came from and who wanted to harm her?" the madam said angrily.

Mrs. Xingguo looked sad and unwilling to look at it, and threw up her sleeves to cover her face.

Shao Wanru had been paying attention to her movements, so he saw her hands in her sleeves pressing down hard, and a trace of ridicule slipped through her eyes. She didn't expect to trip up Mr. Jiang all at once, so she wanted to get rid of Mr. Jiang first. minions...

The two women went over to pull up Nanny and wanted to pull her down for interrogation, but when she stood up, they were pushed away.

"No, stop her!" Aunt Xi shouted immediately as she was experienced.

The two women didn't react, but they saw Grandma Sheng covering her face and slamming into the cabinet on one side. Her head was bleeding immediately, and she slowly slid down from the cabinet...
