Chapter 111 Leaving the House at Night and Hiring Someone to Kill Someone
Here, as soon as Shen Qing arrived at Tinglan Courtyard, Fuyi, who was going to test the snake's venom, followed him in.
After Shen Qing had driven away the girls, Fuyi said, "Miss, I just checked. There are six snakes in total. Only one of them is poisonous, and the rest are non-poisonous."
This result is completely consistent with Shen Qing's guess.
"Are there any snakes with a gentler temperament?"
Fuyi was a little surprised by Shen Qing's question, but still nodded and said: "There are two little green snakes. Although they look scary, they are actually very docile. As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke them, they will not hurt anyone."
Shen Qing couldn't help but laugh. There were six snakes in total, but the only venomous one was Lin Xuefu. The result was too obvious.
As for the two items with a gentle temperament, they were undoubtedly found from Qifutang.
I have to say that Zi Yan is really considerate in her work.
Without wasting any more time on this matter, Shen Qing picked up the dumplings from the soft couch and continued reading while Fuyi returned to his small pharmacy.
First, Mrs. Yanglinghou sold half of the servants, and then the evil slave caused the master to let the snake bite Lin Xuefu. The entire Yanglinghou Mansion instantly became quiet.
Shen Qing felt at ease without a group of annoying people coming to find trouble.
However, in Yanglinghou Mansion, a place where jackals, tigers and leopards gather, peace and quiet is destined to be a luxury.
The next day, evening.
Mother Zhang quickly walked into Mrs. Yanglinghou's house, carefully closed the door, and then whispered to Mrs. Yanglinghou: "Madam, I just got the news from the stable. The young lady will leave the city to Chenglu Temple tomorrow. Incense."
Mrs. Yanglinghou's eyes immediately filled with joy, "Really?"
Mother Zhang nodded, "My servant has already asked clearly. She said that the young lady just informed her that she was leaving early in the morning and asked her to prepare the carriage."
The corners of Mrs. Yanglinghou's lips instantly curled up, she took out her small box from the bottom of the wardrobe, took out three thousand taels of silver notes, handed it to Zhang's mother, and said solemnly: "You are leaving the house now. I went to the Xueying Tower and told them that I wanted to make a deal with them, for three thousand taels, to buy Shen Qing's life!"
The Blood Shadow Tower is a well-known assassination force in the world. It also has a stronghold in Shengjing, but it is very difficult to find.
As for why Mrs. Yanglinghou, a housewife, knew about this kind of organization, it was entirely because Zhang's mother accidentally found out when she went to buy "Lost Soul". Later, Mrs. Yanglinghou also asked Dr. Liang for confirmation when she was detoxifying. , confirmed that this was indeed the case.
Why the Huichun Hall, a medical center that saves lives and heals the wounded, is involved with such a murderous organization is not something that Mrs. Yanglinghou should think about. All she wants is for Shen Qing to never return to Shengjing.
Mother Zhang’s hand holding the bank note paused, with a little hesitation on her face, “Madam, do we really want to do this?”
Mrs. Yanglinghou said with determination, "Yes! Shen Qing rarely leaves Shengjing City. This is our only opportunity, and I must not miss it."
Originally, Madam Yanglinghou had never thought of taking Shen Qing's life, but Shen Qing's changes in these days were so great that they threatened the lives of the entire Mu family, so Madam Yanglinghou really couldn't tolerate it. She did.
Moreover, after Shen Qing's death, the dowry became the property of Yanglinghou Mansion, and they no longer had to live such a hard life.
Seeing that Zhang's mother was still hesitating, Mrs. Yangling Hou urged: "Hurry up, the servants in the mansion have just been changed, and Shen Qing's eyeliner has not spread throughout the entire Hou's mansion. If you hesitate any longer, we will all die to her sooner or later. In hand!"
Mother Zhang nodded, stuffed the banknote into her arms, and quietly left the house through the back door in the dim night.
…
On the early morning of May 18th, Shen Qing washed up and took several girls out of Yanglinghou Mansion and headed towards Yining Houfu.
Haitang has basically found out everything and is explaining the whole story to Shen Qing.
"Young Madam, Mr. and Mrs. Li are both domestic slaves of the Yangling Marquis Mansion. They have been serving in the mansion since the old Marquis was still there. Both of them were sold by their families when they were young, so they have no relatives and have only one child. A woman who used to be an errand in the Young Master’s Hongyan Hall has not appeared in the house since the incident a year ago.”
Shen Qing leaned against the carriage, stroking the soft fur of Tuanzi in his arms, "What's the matter?"
"A year ago, on the day when the second young lady returned to the He family three days after her marriage, the third young master He and the young master were both very drunk. They were on good terms with each other, so they went to the Hongyan Hall to rest together.
However, Third Young Master He was a mischievous person. After drinking too much, he began to tease the maids of Hongyan Hall. Young Master even more generously gave Li Keer, who had just turned fifteen, to Third Young Master He.
Li Ke'er is the only daughter of the Li family.
"The Third Young Master He has a cruel temperament. When everyone saw Li Ke'er again, she had been tortured to the point where she only had half her life left, and there was not a single piece of good skin on her body.
However, no matter how miserable Li Keer was, he was still just an insignificant slave. For the sake of the reputation of the young master and Third Young Master He, the Marquis and his wife suppressed the matter, and then sent Li Keer to a village in the countryside at night. , this matter is considered resolved.
Li Ke'er's life in Zhuangzi was far less relaxed than when he was in Yanglinghou Mansion. In addition, he was injured and became seriously ill not long after. It was Zi Yan who rescued him, and the Li family also suffered from this. I owe Zi Yan a huge favor. "
Shen Qing was startled, "A year ago?"
Haitang nodded, confirming Shen Qing's guess, "Yes, it happened a month before the young lady married into the Yangling Marquis's Mansion. At that time, the Marquis and his wife were afraid that the news would leak out and affect your marriage with the young master, so they sold out several maids and servants who knew about it."
"Do the Li couple know what happened to Li Ke'er?"
"They should know. They would visit Li Ke'er in the manor every visiting day. Later, Li Ke'er disappeared. It was said that she was taken away by someone. The identity of that person is unknown. I guess it should be Zi Yan."
Shen Qing shook her head, "It's not her."
Zi Yan was just a second-class maid in the mansion. It was impossible for her to take her away from the Yangling Marquis's wife openly. If that was the case, Lin Xuefu would have suspected Zi Yan a long time ago and would never keep her by her side.
So Shen Qing felt that the one who took Li Ke'er away should be Bi Hen, who was beside Mu Xueliu.
At this point, everything was clear. Shen Qing really admired Mu Xueliu's ability to use people. Zi Yan made several big moves in the mansion, but she didn't reveal any clues.
At this time, the carriage just drove to the gate of Yining Marquis's mansion.
Xie Ling and Shen Shuyu walked out of the gate of Yining Marquis's mansion side by side. The moment she saw Shen Qing, Shen Shuyu's eyes suddenly lit up and she smiled and called "elder sister".
Shen Qing nodded, looked at Xie Ling, and called "mother" in a gentle voice.
Xie Ling's expression paused, and it took a long time for him to react. There seemed to be many words in his eyes, but in the end they all turned into an intimate name, "Qingqing."
This time, Shen Qing finally did not refuse.
Xie Ling asked Shen Shuyu to get on Shen Qing's carriage on the grounds that there was a topic to discuss between sisters, and he walked towards the carriage of Yining Marquis's mansion.
The door of the carriage opened, and Shen Shuyu saw Haitang hiding in the corner of the carriage. The two looked at each other and nodded without saying anything.
It was not until Shen Qing got in and the door of the carriage was completely closed that the relaxed expression on Shen Shuyu's face instantly faded and turned into a strong tension.
