Chapter 295 There really is a reason to kill Yu Yin'er
Madam Min Qiao had been waiting for news from the Yongning Marquis's residence, but no useful information came even as night fell.
The guards outside the Yongning Marquis's residence did not receive any special news. They only said that apart from the people of the Yongning Marquis's residence, no outsiders entered or left the residence, and no one from the government was disturbed.
Min Qiao felt somewhat relieved.
She tossed and turned all night, and it wasn't until the next morning that Min Qiaoshi felt she had just fallen asleep when she was woken up by Ashuang.
"Madam, someone from the Marquis of Yongning's residence has arrived."
Min Qiaoshi instantly regained her senses.
She quickly got up, washed, dressed, and tidied herself up. Before she even had breakfast, Madam Min summoned the people from the Yongning Marquis's residence.
The person who came from the Yongning Marquis's residence was Chunlan, the head maidservant of the Yongning Marquis's wife. Accompanying her were Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu, who had followed Zhen Huan from the Qiao residence to the Yongning Marquis's residence.
Upon seeing Madam Min, Chunlan bowed respectfully before saying, "Madam, our lady knows you are concerned about the Fourth Miss, so she specifically asked me to come and inform you. The Fourth Miss is alright."
"The Third Miss was disfigured and had been absent-minded lately, which led to her accidentally falling from the artificial hill and dying in an accident."
“We have already hung white clothes in our mansion, and the Third Miss will be buried in two days.”
"Our lady also said that the Third Miss is just a junior, so there is no need for the Grand Madam to go and offer condolences."
This is how Yu Yin'er's death was officially classified.
Madam Min breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she wasn't involved.
But thinking about it, it's obvious that as long as Marquis Yongning isn't stupid, this matter will definitely not escalate.
"Where is your fourth young lady? Is she alright?"
Chunlan couldn't help but smile. "Replying to Madam, my fourth young lady is doing well."
Chunlan paused for a moment, then said truthfully, "When the incident happened yesterday, our old lady was the first to return home."
Since the Xuanping Marquis's residence and the Yongning Marquis's residence are both located in the eastern part of the city, it is normal for Madam Yu to return first.
Chunlan said with a smile, "After our old lady returned to the manor, the first thing she wanted to do was to tie up the fourth young lady and use family discipline. But she couldn't even find her."
"The fourth young lady did not come down from the tree until our lady returned to the manor."
"Later, when the Marquis returned to the manor, our old lady made a fuss again, demanding that the fourth young lady pay for the third young lady's life. The Marquis got annoyed by the fuss and prepared to give the fourth young lady a few lashes to appease the old lady."
"As a result, the fourth young lady jumped straight onto the roof. She managed to avoid being hit at all."
"Later, our lady and the Marquis discussed it all night, and the matter was settled."
"When I left, the Fourth Miss was still sleeping in our Madam's room."
"The Fourth Miss is intelligent, and with our Madam protecting her, the Grand Madam is completely worried that the Fourth Miss will be wronged."
Hearing this, Madam Min was finally completely relieved. It's good that everything is alright!
Thinking of how she actually climbed trees to hide from Madam Yu and went up on the roof to avoid being hit by a board, Madam Min Qiao couldn't help but shake her head with a smile, "That little devil."
Seeing that Madam Min was in a good mood, Chunlan turned to the side and pointed to Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu who were waiting, saying, "Madam, these two girls came to our Marquis's residence with the Fourth Miss."
"Our lady's idea is to send them back first, so that our old lady won't take her anger out on them later."
Min Qiaoshi paused for a moment and looked at the two of them.
Both were little girls under ten years old.
The one named Xiaofeng, who was more gentle, now had his face covered in bruises and cuts. It was clear he was there to disfigure someone.
Not only that, the little girl was so unsteady on her feet that she had to be quietly supported by the girl named Xiaoyu next to her.
Xiaoyu's face wasn't injured, but her eyes were terribly swollen and red, clearly from crying.
When Chunlan saw that Madam Min was frowning, she was about to explain, but Madam Min waved her hand and said, "It's alright, it's good that everyone is safe. It's kind of you, Madam Marquis, to think so carefully."
"Go back and thank your wife for me."
"Yes." Chunlan responded respectfully. Seeing that she had said enough, she prepared to take her leave.
Madam Min Qiao wasn't stingy either, and gestured to A Shuang. A Shuang then smiled and stepped forward, placing a beautiful purse into Chunlan's hand.
"If you don't mind, take it and buy some pastries," Madam Min Qiao said before Chunlan could refuse.
Chunlan couldn't refuse any longer, so she immediately accepted it with a smile, saying, "Thank you for the gift, Madam."
After Chunlan left, Madam Min Qiao immediately sent someone to fetch Doctor Mu to examine Xiao Feng's injuries.
Because they were both located in the southern part of the city, Doctor Mu's clinic was not too far from the Qiao residence.
Originally, Madam Min Qiao planned to inquire about what was going on at the Yongning Marquis's residence while the doctor was there, but before she could even begin asking questions, Doctor Mu arrived with his medicine box.
Madam Min looked at Doctor Mu in surprise, noticing that Doctor Mu's face was flushed and he seemed visibly uncomfortable when she looked at him.
Min Qiao immediately understood what was going on, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
She had heard from Ah Shuang that Doctor Mu was going to the Qiao residence every day and would stay overnight at the old woodcutter's hut every few days...
She had also suggested that the two of them simply get married, live together openly and legitimately.
As it turned out, neither of them agreed.
Well, actually, it was Old Woodcutter who disagreed. He said the time wasn't right yet.
As for Doctor Mu, she naturally agreed to whatever the old woodcutter said.
And then, things turned out the way they are now.
She clearly sent people to the clinic to look for someone, but the person turned out to be in her residence.
After exchanging greetings, Dr. Mu got straight to the point, beginning to take Xiao Feng's pulse, examine him, and treat him.
Fortunately, Xiao Feng's injuries were all superficial and did not affect his internal organs. The scratches on his face could be completely healed with just the application of Dr. Mu's special scar removal cream.
After confirming that Xiao Feng's injuries were not serious, Madam Min dismissed all irrelevant people and began to inquire about the Yongning Marquis's residence.
Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu didn't hide anything and told the whole story.
Let's rewind to one day ago.
The wedding was held at the Xuanping Marquis's residence, and at the same time, Madam Min Qiao held a banquet in the southern city.
Lady Yongning, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning, came to the South City without bringing Zhen.
When Madam Yu went to the Marquis of Xuanping's residence, she did not take Yu Yin'er with her.
Even though I really can't go out, I don't feel anything is wrong.
But Yu Yin'er threw things around and got really angry.
If her mouth hadn't actually been injured, and if Madam Min hadn't refused to help her get Doctor Mu, would she have been too afraid to go out and see people?
Thinking about the humiliation she had suffered because of Zhen Huan and Min Qiao Shi, Yu Yin'er became angrier and angrier.
So, while Zhen Huan was out of her room, someone secretly added something to the ointment she used to apply to her face, attempting to ruin her face.
Meanwhile, someone was sent to lure Xiao Feng away, making her deliver things to Min Qiao Shi in the name of Zhen Huan, in an attempt to use Xiao Feng to murder Min Qiao Shi and then frame Zhen Huan for the crime.
As a result, Xiaoyu caught the little girl red-handed adding something to the ointment she was applying to her face.
After Xiaoyu tied the person up and threw them into the woodshed, and then found Zhen Huan, she discovered that Xiaofeng was missing.
So, before they could deal with the little girl, the two of them started looking for Xiao Feng again.
When they finally found Xiao Feng at Yu Yin'er's place, Xiao Feng had already been beaten black and blue by Yu Yin'er for refusing to deliver things to Min Qiao's family.
Originally, I really only planned to return all the beatings and injuries that Xiao Feng suffered to Yu Yin'er, and then apply the tainted ointment to Yu Yin'er's face.
But when she heard Xiao Feng say that Yu Yin'er had forced her to deliver poisoned pastries to Min Qiao's wife, she truly decided to kill her. She forced the pastries originally prepared for Min Qiao's wife into Yu Yin'er's stomach.
Then Yu Yin'er died.
