This can't be true. What would Mother do for? Ye Cunjin thought to himself, trying desperately to shake his head, but Dongbai held his head down so firmly that he couldn't move at all.

Madam Zhou was dumbfounded, but she thought, "This can't be real, can it? My second sister-in-law just didn't have time to refute me yet. She would never be so heartless as to kill the Marquis! She definitely wouldn't!"

The three families were all together, looking at each other in disbelief. They were stunned by what Aunt Liu had said and couldn't react for a long time!

Especially Madam Wan, she and her cousin Ji Mingwei had always known that Madam Min was ruthless, but they never expected that she would be so ruthless as to kill Marquis Zhongyong!

The reason is very simple: the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage is the glory of the entire Marquis's Mansion, an absolute safe haven, and the main promoter of the family's prosperity. His interests and glory represent the interests and glory of the Marquis's Mansion.

Madam Min is not a fool, how could she kill the Marquis?

Unbelievable, incredulous, unexpected, astonishing.

As for Madam Bao, the mother of Marquis Zhongyong Ye Xiaobai, after hearing Aunt Liu's words and seeing Madam Min's reaction, she was shocked, her face turned ashen, and then she slowly closed her eyes.

Xiang Si Zi walked up to Madam Min and looked down at her: "Madam, are you wondering why, even though you poisoned Concubine Liu, she didn't die? Instead, you were the one who was poisoned?"

"What?!" Madam Min exclaimed in shock. Had she been poisoned?

Xiangsizi tore off a half-inch-thick piece of skin from Aunt Liu's neck. The skin looked exactly like human skin, but in reality, Xiangsizi had made it from other materials to resemble human skin.

"Madam's poisoned needle did not enter Aunt Liu's body. On the contrary, when you held the silver needle and pierced it, the poison on the skin merged with the poison in the silver needle. The poison spread along the silver needle to your fingertips and continued to seep in. At this moment, Madam's palm has turned black. If Madam does not believe it, she can see it with just one look."

Madam Min was unwilling to believe it, but when she raised her hand, her palm had already begun to turn black, and her breathing suddenly became rapid.

Her voice turned hoarse and shrill: "You poisoned me, what was your intention? Did Ye Qingxue tell you to do this?"

Madam Min's eyes were filled with venomous resentment.

"When I went to Ningcui Pavilion before, I asked the divine physician for help, but he refused. Why is he now willing to stand on Aunt Liu's and Ye Qingxue's side to deal with me?"

She was furious!

"Do you know that Ye Qingxue is about to be executed? She can't offer you much benefit! And even if Aunt Liu recovers from her madness, she can only listen to me in this house!"

Xiang Si Zi replied, "Aunt Liu is my patient, and I must take responsibility for her. Madam was poisoned because you tried to kill my patient. If you hadn't done that, you wouldn't have been poisoned."

Madam Min sneered repeatedly: "Just being responsible to the patients? That's a noble way of putting it. Do you think I'd believe you?"

Madam Min supported herself on the ground, pressing her right wrist with her left hand as if trying to stop the poison from spreading throughout her body. She slowly stood up, and Hu Mama finally reacted and stepped forward to help her.

In a short time, Madam Min had forced herself to regain her composure.

"Xiangsi Zi, you already know everything about the Marquis's mansion. If you continue to work for Ye Qingxue or Aunt Liu, you will not gain any benefit. If you remain obstinate, once Ye Qingxue is captured by the Emperor's men, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you will still be hunted down by the people of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's mansion!"

Xiangsizi just frowned and looked at her without responding.

"But if you stand on my side now, I can give you enormous wealth, and even a high-ranking official position, guaranteeing you a bright future."

Madam Min's expression gradually became confident and superior.

"As you know, I have the final say in the inner quarters of the Marquis's mansion; my own son is the youngest Vice Minister of War in this dynasty; and our second daughter is engaged to His Highness Prince Ding."

"I am not just saying this to promise you wealth, honor, high office, and generous salary; I have the ability to do so. But the condition is that you kill Aunt Liu, and you must not divulge a single word of what happened tonight."

Madam Min's gaze seemed to transform into a sharp blade, slashing at Concubine Liu on the bed, her murderous intent palpable.

He added, "Of course, removing the poison from my body would be a piece of cake for you, and I have no doubt about that."

Therefore, giving her the antidote was just a side effect, and Madam Min did not make any further requests.

Xiang Si Zi replied, “Lord Zhongyong is your elder brother, the pillar of the Marquis’s mansion, and a meritorious official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, yet you managed to kill him. Working for you would be too dangerous for me.”

Madam Min retorted angrily, "If I hadn't killed him back then, I would be the one who died. Everyone looks out for themselves!"

Xiang Si Zi was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "How did you learn, Madam, that rusty silver needles could kill someone?"

Instead of answering, Madam Min asked, "Knowing that this method can kill people, is it something very difficult?"

Xiang Si Zi pursed her lips and asked again, "The death of the Marquis of Zhongyong has a huge impact on the Marquis's mansion, and may even affect your and your children's standard of living. But why did you insist on killing him, Madam? Firstly, it is against human ethics, and secondly, it is of no benefit to you."

Madam Min merely sneered, showing no intention of answering the question. Even in death, she would take the answer to this question to her grave, and no one would ever know it.

"So, you admit that you killed the Marquis, right?" After a long silence, Aunt Liu suddenly spoke again: "Nine years have passed, and you finally admit it, is that right?"

Madam Min said arrogantly and coldly, "So what if you know? No one else knows about this except you. And in the Marquis's mansion, you can only obey me, otherwise, you will all face death!"
