Chapter 288: Deployment and Arrest

Su Shengsheng was speechless after hearing this call from a long-distance call just three days later.

He is really calm.

They are not afraid of being discovered that they are secretly moving around Chencang...

"Shengsheng, why are you silent?"

Su Shengsheng: “…”

Does he know how busy she is?

Quzhou, Wenzhou and Yanzhou need to re-lay wiring equipment.

Now there is also Chanzhou and that barren mountain that deserves a beating.

Greenhouses are being built everywhere, and some have already started planting the second crop of rice.

Also, only after he left could she set up a plan to capture the person who dared to tamper with the contraceptive soup.

Does he know that she is really busy?

Perhaps because she was silent for too long, Xie Xuan's tone revealed disappointment, "Shengsheng, what you said before you said goodbye, weren't you just trying to coax me?"

After hearing this, Su Shengsheng took a deep breath.

The food that cannot be spit out is stuck in the throat.

On the table, the bowl of spicy hotpot has not been finished yet.

Although she likes something slightly spicy, she is not fond of spicy food.

Lately, I always want to eat spicy food.

Maybe it was just some kind of feeling, she must have really been infected.

Although she still had doubts, because what the medical officer said seemed to make her chances slim.

But recently I've been feeling weak and sleepy...

However, it remains to be seen whether she can keep the child.

Saying it out loud would only make him happy for a moment.

They say the first three months are the riskiest, so let's wait until he comes back.

It was a surprise.

Su Shengsheng quickly suppressed the hesitation in her mouth and said, "Of course I won't lie to you."

Because the diagnosis could not be confirmed, she was vague when she saw him off, so he just thought that she would discuss the matter after he came back.

Xie Xuan had been in a trance the whole way, but at this moment the dust finally settled, "I missed you."

Su Shengsheng: “…”

Is it over?

If he continues to cling to others like this along the way, he will definitely be discovered.

"Got it." Su Shengsheng replied to him somewhat viciously, "Don't call me again, or I'll take back what I said before."

After saying that, he hung up without waiting for the man to react.

It really is...

Su Shengsheng let out a breath and calmed herself down.

Xie Xuan on the other end was still confused.

After hearing that he was done, Mu Ze wanted to call home to report his safety, but before he could even reach the phone, Xie Xuan took him away. "There are so many people around here, what if we reveal our whereabouts?"

Makize: “?”

The old man said so many things, and he can't say a single word?

But the general's face was too dark, so he had to give up.

Anyway, the lady is with his wife, so it can be considered as a report of safety.

…

Only after Xie Xuanren left did Su Shengsheng decide to close the net.

In order to prevent this person from committing suicide, she, Qing Ning and Qing Ran developed a careful and detailed plan.

Xie Xuanren left, but his "substitute" was still in the mansion.

In order to lure the snake out of its hole, she still needed to drink the contraceptive soup.

Qing Ran had been staring at her for nearly half a month, and had almost locked onto an elderly maid who was decocting medicine.

I say almost because I don’t know if there are other lurkers.

The maid's family situation has also been secretly investigated.

She was the only daughter left behind by the soldiers around Xie Xuan's father.

It has been nearly twenty years since he entered the government.

The fact that she was able to wait until the housekeeper entrusted such an important matter to her with confidence showed that she was deeply trusted.

At first, she also suspected that the woman had been replaced.

It is possible that it is the disguise technique of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

But Qing Ning occasionally went into the mansion and tried to check, and found that the woman did not have any disguise mask on her face.

She also suspected that her family was being coerced.

But the final investigation results showed that after the death of the father of this only daughter, there was only a sick mother to support at home.

But he passed away two years ago.

And she had only been in the mansion for less than a year.

Su Shengsheng really couldn't think of any reason why this maid would betray Xie Xuan, as she had no grudges against her and no direct interest in him.

Because of Qingran's investigation, she didn't wear any fancy clothes and didn't have any property outside the mansion.

It may be because she has depended on her sick mother since she was a child, which made her submissive and relatively withdrawn.

In short, he is a quiet man who is willing to work hard.

But unexpectedly, this seemingly insignificant person added cold medicine to her medicine soup.

If Qingran hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

But after some investigation, I didn't see the person she had contact with.

And this maid should know something about pharmacology.

It may also be because he has been serving his mother for a long time that he knows about medicinal herbs.

She took the herbs she prepared at the pharmacy back to her house, dried them, ground them into powder, and waited for an opportunity to add them to her medicine bag.

Qingran saw all of this.

However, the fact that no one had contacted her made Su Shengsheng wonder if she was wrong.

This person might not have been sent by Jun Yao.

After all, she was not the only one who wanted Xie Xuan to have no descendants.

There is a person with ulterior motives hiding in the mansion every day. Su Shengsheng is also afraid of people walking by the river, so she decides to close the net.

It was also because this person was too cautious that she couldn't get a handle on him.

That morning, Su Shengsheng ordered contraceptive soup as usual, and then she caught the man red-handed.

When the butler and guards arrived, they were still in disbelief.

"Madam, is there...a misunderstanding?"

Su Shengsheng had already sealed the gate to the courtyard and was waiting for someone to tip off, while also carefully checking everyone's faces for clues.

The captured woman was named Ye Die. Her mouth had been sealed by Qing Ran and she was tied up tightly with a rope.

The other cooks and stewards working in the kitchen also had expressions of surprise and doubt. "Yes, Madam, this Ye Die grew up in the mansion since she was a child. How could she possibly cause the general to be childless?"

In order to play the long game, Su Shengsheng lied that she had been infected and might not have the chance to have children.

But looking at the expressions of the crowd, from shock, to suspicion, to complete disbelief, there was nothing wrong with the series of expressions.

When the housekeeper heard that she might not be able to get pregnant again, she hung her head and stamped her feet, and burst into tears.

When she didn't answer, he stepped forward and looked at Ye Die with hatred, "Did you do it? Tell the truth."

His face was full of self-blame.

He values ​​this person, so he comes to do this important task.

How the general loves this lady, if it is true...

Then he will never be able to atone for his sins in this life.

Ye Die still kept her head down and said nothing.

Just like when he was interrogated by Qing Ran.

But the housekeeper couldn't understand why. He pounded his fist and said, "The General's Mansion has treated you well. Your parents' deaths were also handled by the mansion. How can you repay kindness with hatred?"

But no matter how angry he was, Ye Die only moved when he mentioned her parents, and nothing else.

The housekeeper shook his head helplessly and looked back at Su Shengsheng, "Madam, this matter still needs..."

Having said this, he quickly stopped.

It’s because Xie Xuan’s departure for Beirong has not been made public yet.

Not much is known in the palace.

The housekeeper has been in the mansion since Xie Xuan's father's generation and is very loyal.

Of course Su Shengsheng would not let go of any doubts.

Xie Xuan's matter remained the same, but the matter of the contraceptive soup was dealt with separately.

She sighed silently, "Let's lock her up first. Wait... If she still refuses to confess and shows no remorse, then we'll have to torture her."

Everyone in the mansion looked stern.
