Chapter 232 Follow the clues
"That's for sure, I know."
Aunt Liu nodded repeatedly, but her heart was almost in her throat!
Along the way, she felt like she was at war in her heart. On one hand, she was told to do this, and on the other hand, she was told not to do that. Her head felt like it was split in half. She was almost going crazy!
"Aunt Liu, please."
Chunxi smiled and took Aunt Liu to a room. This was where sundries were usually kept. It was dirty and messy, but Chunxi walked in without any disgust.
As he walked, he said, "I heard that the servants who were sold were thrown here before being sent out. They were starved for a few days and then taught a lesson before being thrown out and handed over to the men to deal with."
She fanned the floating dust with her hand and frowned, "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 commit suicide 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 is where those who have committed crimes are detained, I wonder how many people have 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 thump - she was so frightened that she lost her strength!
Chun Xi pretended to be confused and asked in confusion: "Aunt Liu, what's wrong with you? Get up quickly, you have been in this mansion longer than me, so you are my elder anyway, please don't be like this!"
She sounded anxious, but her actions were calm and steady. She had been talking for a long time but had not yet approached Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu looked up and saw her lofty 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, with tears and snot all rushing out at once!
This time, Chun Xi hurried forward and helped the person up, "Aunt Liu, don't be afraid. As long as you explain everything, I will go to the lady to plead for you."
Chunxi's words were like sweet spring water 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 it. Miss Chunxi, you must help me say more good things to the Madam!"
Chunxi's eyes were cold, but she wasn't looking for 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's Mansion, the master's food must be kept under his nose at all times and must never be let go!
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 Madam Lu's side had not communicated with Aunt Liu, so she could just hold on to this matter, saying 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.
"Did she really say 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 Madam Liu, I went to confront the nanny again, and their statements were consistent, with no discrepancies." Chun Xi was also very surprised. After all, Lu Ankang was about the same age as the prince, and in their eyes, they were still children.
"Although Master Kang is young, I didn't expect that he has such a cruel heart."
Shen Ruoyan's eyes were heavy. When Lu Yan was in trouble, Lu Ankang probably couldn't even finish his words. How could he have poisoned Lu Yan?
But the poison he used was the same as the one used by Lu Yanzhong, 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 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 we, the head of the family, make the judgment!"
"Slave, you obey!"
Chunxi moved quickly, and before long, when Shen Ruoyan arrived, Old Madam Lu and Lu Jing were already sitting inside.
But the culprit, Lu Ankang, has not arrived yet.
"Chun Xi, what are you going to do? Where is Lu Ankang?!" Shen Ruoyan got angry as soon as she came in. "That cruel little bastard, 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 else over and bring the person over to me!"
When he heard that it was Lu Ankang who did it, he couldn't believe it.
But Chunxi called Aunt Liu and the nanny over and asked them to tell her everything that happened that day.
In addition to witnesses, we also need physical evidence. Now Shen Ruoyan is sending people to search the entire mansion. She sealed off the mansion on the day of the incident. Since the drugs were injected, even the paper bag containing the powdered drugs could not be transported out!
She even sent people to salvage water from the well, vowing to find the poison!
"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 fact, she had already determined in her heart 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 found that the package 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 wouldn't just be a matter of Lu Sinian being poisoned!
