Chapter 32 Suicide
Shen Wan's pupils suddenly tightened.
She pushed Erbao away and quickly picked up the small paper bag.
When I opened it, I saw some white powder inside, exactly the same as the one on the wall of the barrel.
"How do you explain this?" Shen Wan handed the paper bag to Qian and asked coldly.
Qian's expression suddenly changed.
"Second sister-in-law, did you really do this?" Li saw it and was horrified. "Why did you do this?"
Not to mention Li, everyone else looked incredulous.
In everyone's eyes, Qian was a quiet and gentle woman.
She is not competitive and has a gentle temperament. She has never killed anyone, let alone poisoned them. She has never even killed a chicken.
Qian did not answer.
"Have you suspected me for a long time?" She took a deep breath and looked at Xie Mubai coldly. "Even if I didn't serve mung bean porridge today, you wouldn't drink it, right?"
Xie Mubai looked at her quietly for a while, then suddenly laughed: "I know, it's me you want to kill."
“I also know that the woman who tried to trip Shen Wan that day, and the wolves that night, were all your masterpieces!”
He had only had doubts at first, but when she repeatedly urged him to drink porridge today, he had to trust his own judgment.
When everyone heard this, they were so shocked that they couldn't recover for a long time.
I never imagined that this kind-looking woman in front of me was actually an absolute devil.
"You're talking nonsense!" Erbao stood in front of Qian with his small chest puffed out, looking at Xie Mubai viciously, "My mother is a good person, she wouldn't do that."
Li was also puzzled: "Yes, Fifth Brother, you must have made a mistake."
"Let's not talk about the fact that Second Sister-in-law doesn't have the ability to attract a wolf. Even if she did, wouldn't she be worried about the safety of herself and Erbao?"
Xie Mubai smiled coldly, his eyes fixed on Qian's beautiful face: "When the wolves came, she had already taken Erbao away."
"Since she has the ability to hide, why doesn't she just run away with the child?" Li was still puzzled.
Being a fugitive might offer a way to survive, but no one could be sure of being able to survive this long road of exile.
Xie Mubai put away the smile on his face, his eyes were cold and terrifying: "Because the Qian family is still in the capital, right?"
Qian's expression suddenly changed.
"Fifth brother, are you saying someone is using the Qian family as hostages to force my second sister-in-law to kill someone?" Li still didn't understand. Every pore of her body was filled with confusion. "But who exactly wants to kill you?"
Not only her, but even Shen Wan was confused.
Dog Emperor?
If he wanted to kill people, he could have simply changed the confiscation of property to the extermination of the entire family, but he didn't do that.
Obviously, he wanted to give Xie Mubai a chance to live.
Thinking of this, Shen Wan seemed to understand something.
Yes, it’s the third prince, it must be the third prince!
In order to get rid of the prince's backer, the third prince secretly killed the Duke of Zhenguo.
The matter had become a big deal. In order to protect his most beloved son, the emperor had no choice but to go along with it and confiscate the Duke's Mansion.
Perhaps he still felt a little guilty towards the Xie family, or perhaps he was afraid of the remaining power of the Duke of Zhenguo, so he spared Xie Mubai's life.
The Third Prince was extremely suspicious, so he would naturally not keep this serious threat.
After all, the Xie family is the most powerful supporter of the Prince's Party.
"You'll have to ask my good sister-in-law!" Xie Mubai smiled coldly, with a strange cold light flashing in his dark eyes.
After a moment's silence, Qian suddenly laughed.
"Your second brother used to say you were incredibly smart, but it turns out that was all a lie." She held her head high and looked at him with a mocking expression, "You guessed wrong. No one instructed me at all. Everything was my own idea."
"I hate you, you jinx!"
"You were born to bring misfortune upon your father, mother, and brother, and now you've brought misfortune upon us!"
"If I don't kill you, Erbao and I will be the next to die!"
Upon hearing this, a woman rushed forward like crazy.
"Bitch!" She grabbed Qian's hair and started beating her. "Give me back my man's life!"
"Don't hit my mother!" Erbao saw this and stretched out his little hand to pull her.
The woman didn't care whether he was a child or not, and kicked him to the ground.
Aunt Zhou and others on the side did not dare to speak, for fear of implicating themselves.
"Don't hurt my child!" Seeing Erbao fall to the ground, Qian shouted in pain.
She was about to help him, but the woman held her tightly, "You feel sorry for your son, but have you ever thought about other people who also have parents and children?"
"It's a pity that my man is so young. He was only in his twenties and was mauled to death by a wolf!"
After hearing this, a look of regret flashed across Qian's eyes.
She didn't want this to happen, but she had no choice!
"Everyone has their own responsibility for their own actions." She smiled sadly and looked at Xie Mubai calmly. "It's me who wants to kill you. It has nothing to do with Erbao."
Before she finished speaking, she turned to look at Li: "Fourth sister-in-law, I know you have a kind heart. Erbao will be handed over to you from now on."
Before everyone could react, Qian suddenly pushed the woman away and rushed towards a big tree like a fly.
Shen Wan’s eyes tightened.
She was about to stop it, but saw blood splattering everywhere.
Qian's plump body softened and she fell directly onto the sun-scorched ground.
Scarface walked forward, reached out his hand to feel the breath, and said expressionlessly, "Dead."
"Mom..." Erbao rushed forward like crazy and hugged her tightly, "Don't leave. What will I do if you leave?"
Li's eyes also turned red from crying.
She went forward and hugged Erbao, but for a moment she didn't know how to persuade him.
Qian is dead.
She took all the blame, and the poisoning incident was left unresolved.
Although they knew that there must be someone behind her, Hu Dahai and others did not want to pursue the matter.
Because he knew clearly that he could not afford to offend that person.
For fear of implicating herself, Aunt Zhou did not intend to collect Qian's body.
In desperation, Li and Zhao hastily dug a hole and buried her.
Scarface wanted to go forward to help, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally stood aside quietly.
After burying Qian, the exile continued.
Shen Wan pushed the cart and looked at Xie Mubai uneasily: "Now that Qian is dead, the Third Prince will definitely send someone again. What should we do then?"
After hearing this, Xie Mubai's dark pupils suddenly tightened: "What do you know?"
Qian never said that the person who ordered it was the third prince, so how did this ugly woman know?
"To be honest, he's very close to my scumbag father." Shen Wan knew she had spoken out of turn, so she put the blame on the Marquis of Xiangyang. "I also vaguely heard that he seemed to want to be the son-in-law of the Marquis of Xiangyang."
"But I only have you in my heart, so it's impossible for me to fall in love with him."
"I guess he must have turned love into hate, so he killed you!"
In her half-true and half-false words, Xie Mubai heard the news he least wanted to hear!
The Marquis of Xiangyang, who always prides himself on being an upright gentleman, is actually an accomplice of the Third Prince!
How could this happen? Didn’t he consider marrying this ugly girl to the prince?
If the Duke's Mansion was ransacked, he would lend a helping hand!
Thinking of the Marquis of Xiangyang, Xie Mubai unconsciously thought of Chen Yan again, and felt a dull pain in his heart.
As the legitimate daughter of a marquis, how could she be completely ignorant of such an important matter?
No, no, he shouldn't doubt her.
While they were daydreaming, the group had already arrived at the post station ahead.
Since the residual poison in everyone's body had not been cleared, Hu Dahai called a doctor, which was a good thing for Sun who had no money for treatment.
The prisoners were extremely weak, so the task of caring for the patients was given to Aunt Zhou and a few other people who were not poisoned.
Aunt Zhou had no idea how to serve others, and no one knew how many times Scarface had whipped her.
In order to live a comfortable life, she turned her eyes and went to find Zhao.
After hearing what Aunt Zhou said, Zhao was so angry that she almost cried out.
"Don't you think about Dabao?" Aunt Zhou pulled out her trump card and threatened viciously, "After what Qian did, you still expect those officials to treat us well?"
"If I don't find a backer, not only me, but even Dabao won't be able to make it to the Northwest alive!"
Zhao's body stiffened, and two lines of tears rolled down her smooth face.
Ever since Aunt Zhou found Zhao, Scarface's attitude towards the women of the Xie family has become much better.
Although he never greeted me with a smile, he no longer whipped me at every turn.
Unfortunately, Dabao also suffered from heatstroke at this time.
He was already a picky eater, and his appetite became even worse.
At night, Shen Wan went out with a bucket to pour out the remaining water, but heard a strange sound coming from the backyard.
She rolled her eyes and walked forward cautiously.
As soon as she stuck her head out, she was startled by the scene in front of her.
