“Replying to the Empress, this lowly one did see it. Old Woman Wang took away Furen’s shoes. At that time, this lowly one thought she would send Furen back to the room. Later, I saw her throw the shoes into the pond. I even asked why she threw them into the pond. She said that it was because Furen had gone into premature labor, so throwing away the shoes would ensure the safety of the mother and child. She also asked this lowly one not to tell anyone, or else Furen and the child would die.”

Lafu recalled how she saw Old Madam Wang throw away the shoes. She still believed it!

Mrs. Zhang frowned when she heard Lafu’s words.

“What is this? Why haven’t I heard of it before?”

When Su Qing heard that Old Woman Wang had thrown away the shoes, she was even more confident that she had harmed Luan Hong. She immediately ordered the guards to bring her back.

“Bring Old Madam Wang here.”

The guards led the two guards to the woodshed. The old lady ordered someone to bring a chair for Su Qing. Su Qing sat on the chair with a dark expression.

Old Lady Zhang felt uneasy. She sent Old Woman Wang to take care of Luan Hong. Would the Empress think that she was the one who wanted to harm Luan Hong?

The guard who went to bring the woman quickly returned and reported to Su Qing with cupped fists,

“Reporting to the Empress, Old Woman Wang has been poisoned to death.”

“Dead?”

Su Qing frowned as she looked at Mrs. Zhang. Was she trying to silence her?

Old Madam Zhang felt she couldn’t clear her name by jumping into the Yellow River. She hurriedly knelt and kowtowed to Su Qing.

” Empress, I don’t know! No one gave her poison.”

“Help your old madam up.”

Su Qing only glanced at her and ordered the servant maids to help the old madam up. She then asked the guards to bring Old Madam Wang over for examination.

” Bring her over.”

Everyone in the Zhang Mansion was in danger. They were afraid that the Empress would blame the death of Old Woman Wang on them. They were even more afraid that the Zhang Mansion would be in trouble. There were too few good masters like this. They would have to sell themselves again if the Zhang Mansion were in trouble. At that time, they might not meet any kind master!

Soon, the guards carried Old Woman Wang’s body over with a door. Old woman Wang’s face was black and bleeding from all seven orifices. Su Qing pinched open Old Woman Wang’s mouth and found that her teeth had turned black. It was confirmed that she had died from the poison hidden in her teeth.

“Call everyone in the residence and line up for questioning.”

Zhang Jinglin bowed deeply to Su Qingshen before turning to look at his precious daughter. How he looked at his daughter was filled with gentleness, just like how Xiao Zeyu looked at Yun ‘er.

Su Qing’s mouth twitched. Men liked their daughters. They were severe to their sons but doted on their daughters.

“Carry Miss inside!”

Zhang Jinglin only kissed his daughter once before he let the servants take the child away. He walked to Su Qing and reported.

” I’ve already found the pregnant woman’s mother-in-law.”

“Dead?”

Su Qing glanced at him, and Zhang Jinglin nodded. When they went there, they saw the pregnant woman’s mother-in-law being stabbed through the heart. The most hateful thing was that the other party did not even let the baby off. The child was thrown to the ground, but fortunately, the child was still alive. He ordered people to send him to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to see if they could save the child.

“I’ll go back and save the child. You’re in charge of interrogating the boss and shopkeeper of Dong Lai Shun.”

When Su Qing heard the child was still alive, she immediately decided to save him. A bad person had killed the child’s mother because of him, so saving the child could be considered as doing something for this poor pregnant woman.

“Reporting to the Empress, I sent someone to follow the shopkeeper and the waiter of Dong Lai Shun, but they found that the building was already empty.”

Zhang Jinglin hurriedly reported that Su Qing had asked them to send someone to keep an eye on the shopkeeper and the waiter of Dong Lai Shun. However, when they went there, they found that Dong Lai Shun was closed for business today.

When she found out the shopkeeper’s house, she realized that everyone had disappeared.

“He’s fast enough.”

Su Qing sneered. She felt their conspiracy was not as simple as slandering the royal family. There must be a bigger scheme.

” The entire city is under martial law. We can only enter and not leave. Search the city.”

Su Qing ordered Zhang Jinglin, and Zhang Jinglin left. Su Qing waited for him to leave before ordering the guard,

“Get Zhong Yong to send troops to protect the Zhang Residence.”

“Yes.”

The guard received the order and went to do it. Su Qing called out to him,

“Have Zhong Yong send troops to protect the Grand Preceptor Residence.”

“Yes.”

The guard agreed and left. Su Qing left the Zhang residence and looked at the busy streets.. She had a feeling that there would be a massive upheaval in the capital!
