"What!"
"How could he die suddenly?!"
Although Shen Haoyi was a frivolous and overconfident dandy, he wasn't completely clueless. "Cui Biao, take someone to investigate!"
Someone just came here to collect a debt.
The horses behind him died suddenly.
There's something wrong with this...
Cui Biao quickly led his men to the backyard of the inn. After a careful investigation, they actually found some clues.
Some powder was found in the hay bowl in the stable, and the horse that died suddenly was obviously poisoned.
"Go and capture the waiter..."
However, just as Cui Biao finished speaking, he suddenly saw a man running away in panic around the corner. Cui Biao immediately chased after him and grabbed the man to the ground: "Who are you..."
“Ouch, it hurts…”
It was a woman crying out in pain.
Cui Biao was not one to show mercy. He didn't soften his grip even after hearing it was a girl. But when he saw her face, his pupils shrank sharply, and surprise and joy flashed in his eyes: "Miss?"
The woman on the ground was in so much pain that her eyes were blurred with tears. Her voice was tender and painful: "It hurts, it hurts, please spare me, sir. I didn't mean to be lazy and not feed the horses. Please spare me, sir..."
Cui Biao only reacted at this time.
The woman he held on the ground was wearing a coarse linen shirt and a woman's bun. Although her face resembled Shen Sulan, she was not the white moonlight he had been thinking about for years...
But the tears in the woman's eyes and the pitiful look of her crying out in pain still made Cui Biao's eyes deepen.
"Guard Cui, the man who poisoned the horse has been caught. Let's send him to the young master immediately." Seeing this, the guard on the side immediately stepped forward and said.
Cui Biao frowned.
The woman cried sadly, "No, no, I didn't poison the horse. Sir, please spare my life. I am really innocent..." The woman grabbed Cui Biao with her backhand and begged sadly.
Cui Biao looked at her face, especially her pitiful look with tears in her eyes, and his heart trembled violently.
His hand unconsciously tightened around the woman.
After a while, he ordered his men with a cold face: "Watch your mouths and continue investigating."
After saying that, he picked up the woman and carried her in his arms.
The guards looked at each other.

Emperor Wenyuan only remembered Madam Shen after Nanny Yin returned to the palace.
After listening to Nanny Yin's words, his face darkened and his eyes narrowed: "Shen Li's concubine is actually the disciple of the Hundred Ghosts Divine Doctor?"
"Yes, I just learned the news as well."
Nanny Yin knelt down after saying this: "Your Majesty, please punish me. It is my incompetence that not only did I fail to investigate this matter in advance, but I also allowed them to cure Madam Shen right under my nose..."
"Li Qing, has the old man from the Shen family been locked up separately?" Emperor Wenyuan turned his head and asked Eunuch Li beside him.
"I'll check it out right away."
After a while.
Eunuch Li hurried back to report: "Your Majesty, the old lady of the Shen family and the Shen family members are all imprisoned together and are not alone..."
In the cell.
When Old Madam Shen saw the men of the Shen family being brought in, she collapsed to the ground with a deathly pale face. She was unable to recover for a long time, as if all her energy had been drained away.
But that’s not all.
She also faced the accusations and curses hurled at her by the Shen family. She also learned that Yang Zhao had upended the Shen family and the ancestral hall, and that Yang Zhao had been conferred the title of County Lady. Old Madam Shen felt a deep sense of oppression in her chest, and she could no longer curse Yang Zhao as she had previously. A wave of inextricable regret and fear welled up in her heart.
And this fear lasted until Nanny Yin appeared.
