"That's for sure, I know."
Aunt Liu nodded repeatedly, but her heart was almost in her throat!
She felt like she was at war in her heart the whole time. Some people told her to do this, while others told her not to do that. It felt like her head was split in half, driving her almost crazy!
"Aunt Liu, please."
Chunxi smiled and took Aunt Liu to a room. This was where miscellaneous items were usually kept. It was dirty and messy, but Chunxi walked in without any disgust.
As he walked, he said, "I heard that before the servants were sold out, they were left here. They were starved for a few days, and then they were taught a lesson before being thrown out to be dealt with by the slaves."
She fanned the rising dust with her hand and frowned, saying, "This smell is really strong. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to stay here."
What should I do if I can’t stay?
Either you kill yourself or wait for destruction.
Anyway, those who are sold out will not have a good ending, it’s better for them to die!
Although Aunt Liu was in the kitchen, she also gossiped about the things happening in the mansion.
If this was where criminals were held, I wonder how many people had committed suicide here...
Her hair stood up all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but shiver. She was shaking uncontrollably from head to toe!
"Miss Chunxi!"
Just when Chunxi was about to close the door, Aunt Liu suddenly fell to the ground with a thud - she was so scared that she lost her strength!
Chun Xi pretended to be confused and asked doubtfully, "Aunt Liu, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and get up! You've been in this mansion longer than I have. You're my elder anyway. Please don't be like this!"
She spoke in a hurry, but her actions were calm and composed. She had been talking for a long time but still hadn't come to Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu looked up and saw her high and mighty figure, as if she saw the mistress who held the power of life and death over them. She said mercilessly: "Sell them!"
"I admit it! I admit it all!"
Aunt Liu suddenly exploded, tears and snot all rushing out at once!
This time, Chun Xi quickly stepped forward and helped the person up. "Aunt Liu, don't be afraid. As long as you explain everything, I will go and plead for you with the lady."
Chunxi's words were like sweet springs in the desert to Aunt Liu, who had forced herself into a desperate situation. They were hard-earned.
She nodded with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, girl!"
Aunt Liu told Chunxi everything she had just recalled, including how she couldn't help but go to the bathroom and found her lunch box missing when she came back.
"I admit that I failed in my duty in this matter. But I really didn't mean to do it. Miss Chunxi, you must help me speak well of me in front of the Madam!"
Chunxi's eyes were cold, but it wasn't directed at Aunt Liu. Seeing her frightened like this, she no longer had the heart to play a trick on her and said sincerely, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you."
In this matter, Aunt Liu was indeed negligent.
According to the rules of the Marquis' Mansion, the master's food must always be under his eyes and must never be put down!
At that time, even if Aunt Liu had peed in her pants, she couldn't leave easily!
But if this matter is to be investigated, it is not her fault alone.
After all, the nanny on Mrs. Lu's side had not communicated with Aunt Liu, so she could just hold on to this matter and say that she had no idea that the food box had not been taken away, and put all the blame on the nanny.
However, Chunxi would not remind Aunt Liu like this.
Madam has her own decision on what to do.
However, she didn't expect that this matter would involve that person.
"She really said that?"
As soon as Chunxi came back, she reported the matter to Shen Ruoyan. However, Shen Ruoyan was very surprised, "The person who poisoned was actually Lu Ankang?"
"Yes, according to Aunt Liu, I went to confront the nanny again, and their statements were consistent, there was no discrepancy." Chun Xi was actually also very surprised. After all, Lu Ankang was about the same age as the prince, and in their eyes, they were both still children.
"Although Master Kang is young, I didn't expect him to be so cruel."
Shen Ruoyan's eyes were heavy. When Lu Yan was in trouble, Lu Ankang probably couldn't even speak a complete sentence. How could he possibly poison Lu Yan?
But the poison he used was the same as the one Lu Yanzhong used, and Doctor Xu said that this poison was very rare and could not be bought casually.
Could it be Fang Rou?
But Fang Rou had not yet entered the mansion at that time. How could she have such a great power to accomplish this?
Unless someone in the Marquis' Mansion meets her!
"Go, find the Marquis and the old lady and tell them everything. The decision will depend on how the head of our family will judge the case!"
"I obey your command!"
Chunxi moved quickly, and before long, when Shen Ruoyan arrived, Madam Lu and Lu Jing were already sitting inside.
But the culprit, Lu Ankang, was nowhere to be found.
"Chun Xi, what are you going to do? Where's Lu Ankang?!" Shen Ruoyan got angry as soon as she came in. "That cruel-hearted brat, why don't you send someone to arrest him!"
Although she was angry at Chunxi, her eyes were looking at the other side.
Chun Xi quickly apologized, but her words were all excuses - "I sent someone, but..."
They sang the same tune, and Madam Lu felt a little embarrassed. But Lu Jing said, "Go, send someone over and bring the person over to me!"
When he first heard that it was Lu Ankang who did it, he was also in disbelief.
But Chunxi called Aunt Liu and the nanny over and asked them to tell her everything that happened that day.
In addition to witnesses, there must be physical evidence. Now Shen Ruoyan is sending people to search the entire mansion. She sealed off the mansion on the day of the incident. Even the paper bag containing the medicine powder cannot be transported out!
She even sent people to salvage the poison from the well, determined to find it!
"Ruoyan, Brother Kang is still young, he may not have done this. Maybe it was just a coincidence that day?" Old Madam Lu smiled and tried to smooth things over. In her heart, she had already determined that this incident was probably the work of Lu Ankang.
That kid is narrow-minded and ruthless, so it's not surprising that he would do such a thing.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been on guard against Lu Ankang from the beginning and prevented him from getting close to Lu Sinian.
But after the doctor saw Lu Sinian's symptoms of poisoning, Mrs. Lu didn't want to check any further.
She had secretly checked with her confidant yesterday, and the packet of medicine they had hidden was gone!
Although I don’t know how Lu Ankang took it away, Shen Ruoyan must not be allowed to investigate this matter any further!
Otherwise, it would not be just a matter of Lu Sinian being poisoned!
