Chapter 811
"Thanks to you, I'm still alive and well," Zhong Jie sneered. "I never realized your Marquis's mansion was such a den of wolves! Minor squabbles are one thing, but this time you're going straight for my daughter's life. What, do you think our Yunnan Prince's mansion is easy to bully?!"
“Your Highness, you’ve misspoke! We’re overjoyed to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law as Zhaozhao, how could we possibly have such thoughts?” Madam Zheng quickly said, “Your Highness, please tell me what’s wrong with Zhaozhao so I can find out where the problem lies when I get back.”
Zhong Jie didn't speak immediately, but stared at her intently.
After a long pause, Zhong Jie finally said, "It seems you really don't know."
The situation at the Marquis's residence wasn't as bad as she had imagined.
“She was poisoned. After the doctor examined her, he said it was a slow-acting poison. The poisoning is not severe at the moment and will not be fatal,” Zhong Jie said. “Your Marquis’s mansion may seem peaceful, but there is a lot of influence underneath. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. If it damages the reputation of your Marquis’s mansion, I can only apologize to you in advance!”
"Such a serious matter as poisoning naturally requires a thorough investigation. How about this, I have been in the Marquis's residence for so many years, and I know the situation there better than the Princess. If the Princess trusts me, I will investigate what happened first. If I can find out the cause, that would be best. If not, then I will ask the Princess to take action and use swift and decisive measures. What do you say?"
Seeing that Zhong Jie remained silent for a long time, Madam Zheng continued, "It's only natural that the Princess doesn't trust me. How about this: the Princess can send a trustworthy person to accompany me at all times, so that they can report the situation to the Princess at any time. What do you think?"
The Zheng family had shown their utmost sincerity, and Zhong Jie had no reason to refuse.
So Zhong Jie sent Water Mother to follow her.
Zheng knew that Shui Mama was Zhong Jie's confidante, and she directly sent her out, which shows how much Zhong Jie cared about this matter.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam Hou."
Zhong Jie's attitude finally softened a bit.
"I wouldn't dare."
This was a very important matter, so Zheng didn't even drink tea and left with her water mother.
Upon arriving at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, Shen Rang dismounted and walked up to them in a few steps.
His face was filled with panic: "Mother, I heard that Zhaozhao had an accident, what happened?"
Now that they were outside, Madam Zheng didn't want to be too explicit, so she simply said, "Zhao Zhao is fine, she's inside. If you have any questions, just ask Zhao Zhao directly."
After saying that, Madam Zheng walked away.
Shen Rang hurriedly started walking towards Shanshui Residence.
The Shanshui Residence was bustling with activity at this time.
Not only were Zhong Jie and Madam Chen present, but even Chen Qiang, who was pregnant, came.
The group sat in the mountain and water residence, almost like they were interrogating the doctor, making him sweat profusely.
It wasn't until Shen Rang entered that everyone's eyes fell on him, and the doctor finally managed to catch his breath.
Zhong Jie sized him up and down, then spoke in a sarcastic tone: "Oh, isn't this His Majesty's favorite recently? What brings you to our palace?"
Chen Rang paused in his steps.
Madam Chen said helplessly, "Alright, alright, stop joking with a junior like that, let's go!"
As she spoke, Madam Chen and Chen Qiang, one on each side, helped Zhong Jie away.
Zhong Jie left reluctantly, turning her head to give a heavy, cold snort. Madam Chen and Chen Qiang immediately quickened their pace.
That's really embarrassing.
After the three left, Huo Zhao told the doctor to leave as well.
Turning his head, Huo Zhao saw that Shen Rang's face was pale and sighed helplessly: "What, do you want me to coax you?"
