Chapter 817

That really was Granny Li's idea.

Since there was an opportunity to poison him, why not kill him instantly? Why use a slow-acting poison? A slight mishap could ruin everything!

As expected!

However, there was nothing she could do. The person delivering the medicine was very cautious, and the dosage was always the same. The Marquis's residence was strict, and she couldn't get poison from elsewhere, so she had to give up on the idea.

"My lord, the old lady has been kind to you in raising you! But you show her no respect in anything you do, and even let a junior climb over her head! You are unworthy of being a son!"

Granny Li has completely gone mad; she curses at everyone she sees.

However, the old lady sitting in the head seat looked at her with satisfaction.

Back then, she chose Li Pozi because she was both rough and shrewd. No matter how loud and boisterous she was usually, it didn't matter. In critical moments, she could quickly distinguish between advantages and disadvantages, and understand the asphalt regulations.

It was no wonder that she relied on Granny Li so much and entrusted her with everything; Granny Li truly did not disappoint her.

Not only did he take charge of the matter, but he also vented all his pent-up frustrations.

The old lady really couldn't bear to give up such a clever servant.

The old lady subconsciously looked at Shen Rang, pondered for a moment, and said, "Zirong, although this old woman was confused for a moment, she did it for me. Besides, your daughter-in-law didn't get into any serious trouble, did she? Why not just fine her a few months' worth of silver?"

Before Shen Rang could speak, Madam Shui snorted coldly, "Is that all? You're dreaming, old lady. What do you take my princess for? If this matter is just let go so easily, then anyone can poison my princess in the future, right? Anyway, it's just a matter of a few taels of silver. What's so scary about that? Will my princess be able to live in your house in the future?"

After saying that, Mother Shui turned to look at Chen Rang: "Young Master, what do you say?"

Shen Rang said coldly, "This matter is indeed inappropriate."

He was genuinely angry.

Without offering any explanation, he categorically denied the old lady's words with an almost resolute tone.

Seeing this, Madam Zheng also said, "That's right. If we can let the matter of poisoning the young mistress go so easily, won't the Marquis's mansion be in complete chaos? If we don't deal with it, who knows when someone with ulterior motives might target me, or even you, Mother. This matter concerns life and death and cannot be taken lightly."

The mother and son's words, a combination of threats and reconciliation, completely blocked the old lady's escape route.

The old lady's face was extremely ugly, but she was afraid that if she spoke up for Granny Li again, she would be implicated as well, so she couldn't say a word and just sat there with a stiff face.

Seeing this, Mother Water raised her voice and said, "Guards, take her away for interrogation. Make sure to find out who her accomplices are. If there are any other people behind her, find them out as well!"

Two of the people who came from the Prince's mansion this time were experts in interrogation. Their demeanor was different from those who went to the battlefield to fight. Instead, they exuded a sinister feeling that made people shudder.

Their gazes fell on Granny Li, scanning her from head to toe, as if they had already decided where to start.

Granny Li rolled her eyes and fainted.

The two men didn't care. With a wave of their hands, two guards stepped forward, dragged the man away, and the two men followed.

After the group left, the old lady clenched her fists again without thinking.

The people from the Prince's Mansion have actually gone this far, even bringing in the interrogators!

Without these interrogators, the old lady was certain that Granny Li would not confess until the very last moment, but now... the old lady could not be so sure.

She frowned, and after a long while said, "Now that the person who did it has been found, shouldn't the Marquis's residence be reopened to all who come and go? What's the point of keeping it sealed off like this?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Shui had nothing to refute, so she had no choice but to issue an order to lift the curfew in all parts of the Marquis's residence, but still ordered them to stand guard at the gates and watch the servants come and go.
