After Shen Nian asked, he picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water for Xia Tian.
Xia Tian chuckled, "This was all done by the Liu family. County Master Yunying was not involved. If it were the Liu family, I would not hesitate to let her taste the consequences of her own scheme."
Xia Tian picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, then continued, "I'm also a girl, and I know how important it is to be innocent. No matter what, I can't take the initiative to do it, otherwise what's the difference between me and Liu?"
The corners of Shen Nian's pursed lips curled up slightly, and he raised his hand to stroke her hair.
This girl has a kind heart!
Even though County Master Yunying treated her like that, she still didn't do anything at the last moment.
Seeing that Shen Nian didn’t say anything, Xia Tian pulled his hand over and held it, “Brother Shen? You won’t be angry, right?”
They had discussed this matter together, but in the end they gave up the original plan because of me.
It also allowed Liu to escape another disaster.
Shen Nian shook her head, "It's okay, you did the right thing. As for Liu, with Madam Qi taking the blame for her, there's nothing we can do."
"Yes! Look at Madam Qi, she has already made up her mind and doesn't even think about living." As long as Madam Qi doesn't speak, they can't do anything to Liu.
Nanny Qi was determined to commit suicide at the time, and no matter how much she asked, she couldn't bring up Liu.
That’s why Shen Nian didn’t say anything else!
He didn't expect to bring down Liu through this incident, but it would be good to make her lose a capable assistant.
Besides, although it was not explicitly stated that Liu was the one who ordered this incident today, everyone is not blind and they must have agreed in their hearts that it was her who ordered it.
Nanny Qi is her personal nanny, so she must be involved. If anything happens in the future, the first person others think of will definitely be her.
Shen Nian narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing more.
Today, both of them were a little tired. Seeing Xia Tian was listless, Chen Nian asked her to go back and rest first.
Xia Tian nodded and took Ningxiang back to Jinglan Garden first.
The old lady's yard.
"Tell me, is that girl involved in this?" The old lady sat on the kang in the warm room and asked Aunt Zhang who was standing beside her to serve her.
Nanny Zhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Madam, are you talking about the Crown Prince's wife?"
"Well, who else but her!" the old lady snorted.
"From my perspective, she shouldn't be involved in this matter. Who would gamble their innocence?"
The old lady nodded, but she felt something was wrong. "Could it be that Mrs. Li is really old and confused and has confused the two courtyards?"
"That's possible. Think about it, Madam Li, she must have had something to hide when she did this evil thing. It's possible that she made a mistake out of nervousness."
"But didn't Mrs. Li say that she put medicine in the girl's tea? Then why is she fine?" The old lady was puzzled. Could it be that the girl had an antidote for that kind of medicine?
Nanny Zhang was also quite puzzled by this. Looking at the Crown Prince's wife, it didn't look like she had been drugged. If Li Po hadn't said it at the end, no one would have known that she had been drugged.
"Is it possible that the Crown Prince's wife didn't drink that cup of tea at all?" Nanny Zhang asked uncertainly.
The old lady nodded, as if this was the only possibility.
Could it be because she discovered drugs in the tea?
It seems that this girl still has some luck!
She was able to avoid this incident today!
It was Liu who didn't expect that a young lady from the uncle's mansion would use such despicable means!
The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly. If it weren't for the face of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, she would never have let Liu off today.
But we can't just let her go like this. Does she look like a member of the Shen family at all? She actually did such a thing.
"Madam Zhang, go tell Madam Liu that she doesn't manage her subordinates well. Ask her to go to the Buddhist temple and chant sutras for a month to calm her mind."
"Yes, old lady." Nanny Zhang agreed and went out to pass the message to Liu.
After hearing what Aunt Zhang said, Liu agreed respectfully. As soon as Aunt Zhang left, she angrily swept the tea set on the table all over the floor.
Before Nanny Zhang left the yard, she heard the sound of things being smashed in Liu's room, and she walked out of the yard without stopping for a moment.
After venting her anger, Liu sat dejectedly on the chair, with her hands on her head, and didn't speak for a long time.
Qiuyue asked the maid to come in and clean up the debris on the ground. She stood there quietly and didn't dare to say a word.
Today, Aunt Qi died, and they were all worried and anxious, not knowing when the same thing would happen to them.
I used to think that no one in this mansion, except the old lady, could make the ladies and housekeepers look bad, and they always felt they were superior to others in everything they did.
Unexpectedly, when something really happened, even the lady couldn't protect them. Not only could she not protect them, but the lady herself would be punished.
She always felt that ever since the Crown Prince's wife came into the family, their wife had never had a smooth life.
Liu was thinking the same thing at the moment. She always felt that the dead girl's fate must be incompatible with hers. Otherwise, why hadn't anything she did gone smoothly since she came to the Marquis' Mansion?
It seems that one day I have to go to the temple to burn incense, draw a fortune stick, and ask the abbot to interpret it.
Xia Tian had no idea what Liu was planning at the moment, so he went straight to bed after returning to Jinglan Garden.
Shen Nian called Muchen in and carefully reviewed what happened today to see if there was anything he had missed that could be used against him.
"Didn't Yunying see clearly that it was you?"
"No, I knocked him out first and then entered the house."
Muchen knew that Shen Nian was asking about him carrying the person to the next yard.
"You showed up later and were seen by the maidservant next to Yunying. Have you thought about what to say?"
They still had to be aware of this matter in advance. What if County Lady Yunying went back and told Princess Ruihua? Princess Ruihua was no little girl, and she might become suspicious of them if she said something wrong.
"I've thought about it. When I showed up, I was talking about the lady you asked me to find.
If anyone asks, I will say that I saw Master Xu enter the courtyard over there, and then saw Madam holding the unconscious Yunying County Lady. I felt something was wrong, so I said someone was coming.
Shen Nian nodded, it was quite reasonable.
The two of them just discussed what to say.
Princess Ruihua knew what happened in the Marquis Wu'an's Mansion today.
The main reason was that after County Lady Yunying returned, she thought about how she almost lost her innocence today, and the moment she saw Princess Ruihua, she hugged her mother and started crying in fear.
Princess Ruihua was very anxious, wondering what had happened. She called the prince consort in to ask him, but he had no idea.
He called Bishui, who was following Yunying, in again. Bishui did not dare to hide anything and told her everything in detail.
Princess Ruihua was also terrified after hearing this.
After coaxing Yunying County Lady to stop crying for a long time, he asked, "You really don't remember anything?"
The Yunying County Master pursed her lips and nodded, "I really don't remember anything."
Princess Ruihua did not ask County Lady Yunying any more questions and asked the maid to take her back to her own yard to rest.
He asked Bishui to tell him in detail what happened in Wu'an Marquis Mansion before letting him leave.
The next day, Princess Ruihua called her personal maid over and said, "Yuru, take my visiting card and go to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion to invite the wife of Prince Shen to come for tea."
