Since she wanted to leave this place, she could just let her leave.

"Who do you think did this?" Xie Wanqing suddenly said.

Yue Xin knew that she was referring to what happened last night. Last night, she was suddenly called back by Concubine Fang, but Concubine Fang was Xie Wanqing's biological mother so it shouldn't be her.

However, Xie Wanyun, such a proud and arrogant person from back then, had endured the ridicule from the General Mansion and did not make a move for a few days.

Xie Wanqing and Yue Xin's thoughts were the same, but they should not be the Concubine Fang, she was not in a rush, and if she wanted Xie Wanqing's life, she could just secretly send people to poison the food, although the small courtyard was changed to a newbie sent by the Madame Ye, but if the Concubine Fang really wanted to do anything, it would not be difficult.

Looking forward to her death, it seemed that Xie Wanyun really hated her.

"Have I taken any medicine today?" She slept through the night and into the afternoon, without knowing what had happened.

Yue Xin knew what she was thinking, and replied: "Reporting to Miss, the doctor prescribed medicine, and this servant personally cooked it. Only after testing it with a silver needle can I give it to Miss to drink."

At that time, Xie Wanqing's fever was high and she did not want to retreat, if she did not drink the medicine, then the odds were against him. Seeing Xie Wanqing being so cautious in eating these past few days, Yue Xin also took care of her and arranged for Mama Zeng to take care of her in her sleep. She himself followed the doctor to grab the medicine and then made it herself before daring to bring it over for Xie Wanqing to drink.

Hearing this, Xie Wanqing's face finally relaxed a bit, "You did very well." she praised.

"How is Mama Feng?"

Although Mama Xin had instructed him not to tell Xie Wanqing about Mama Feng first, it was because he was afraid that she would be frightened. Now that Yue Xin looked at the child in front of her, she felt that she had to let her know about the news before she could recover.

"This morning, the Mama Feng was fished out by someone. She was holding onto another corpse so tightly that the guards couldn't separate them." Yue Xin told her the information she got.

"What did the madame say?"

"Two corpses are already soaked, so Mama Feng can still recognize them based on their clothes. However, the other corpse could not even be identified by the maids in the entire palace and their faces are full of old scars. It is said that their appearances are extremely terrifying. Everyone in the house was panic-stricken. They suspected that someone from the outside had snuck in to harm them, so the old lady got someone to report it. There should be news about it this afternoon. "

It could not be someone from outside the Palace. Although the defenses of the Marquis Anyang's Mansion could not be compared to that of the Imperial Palace, an average person would not be able to sneak in so easily when they were patrolling around. Moreover, since that person's face was like that, it would definitely attract attention. This kind of person entering the Marquis Anyang's Mansion, it was impossible for the guards to not see him.

Furthermore, how could Xie Wanyun go out of the Palace to look for someone? As a lady in a pavilion, she would not step out of the door even if she did not go out. Xie Wanqing did not believe that she would have such abilities.

At the same time, in the main hall, the old mistress was seated, while the Madame Ye and the Madame Huang were seated at the sides.

It was not uncommon for large families to find two corpses in the lotus pond. The officials also knew that the madame had reported the case in order to use their words to calm the hearts of the people and remove their suspicions.

If this corpse wasn't scooped out in the open early in the morning and was seen by the servants in the mansion, then they would have nothing to do with it.

Since the case had already been reported, the process still had to go.

The coroner was sent to examine the body in the morning. It was soon revealed that both of them had drowned.

"Excuse me, do you have any enemies in the Mama Feng?" The madame said.

His meaning was obvious, it was to count the dead man as an enemy of the Mama Feng. When an important family was in trouble, they reported it to the government. Most of them just found a random excuse to explain themselves. After all, who would be so fussy about the life and death of a servant?

The official who had come was well aware of the situation and quickly replied, "Old madam, please be at ease. We will go back to inspect the situation."

Seeing that he was sensible, the old mistress nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

"The madame is serious. This is our duty."

As he spoke, he prepared to bring his men back.

The coroner seemed to hesitate for a long time before he finally stood out and said, "Old madam, I have investigated and found that there was something on the Mama Feng's hand. I'm afraid it might not have chicken pox."

His words caused the madame's face to turn unsightly.

Why was he so well, with chickenpox? And no one knew?

One had to know that most people with varicella would not be able to survive in the Zhou Dynasty. The chicken pox was very contagious and had an incubation period. It might take several days for people to suddenly pop up like bamboo shoots after a rain. Usually, at this time, not even doctors would dare to come and treat him, as they were afraid of getting sick.

When Madame Ye heard this, she was shocked and quickly ordered some people to call for a doctor. "Quickly go and check if Second Miss is fine, and the rest of the people in her courtyard also have a look around, tidy up Mama Feng's house, and burn all her things. Just don't keep any of them."

Madame Huang was scared witless by the coroner's words, the surrounding maidservants became even more anxious, and started chattering among themselves.

The old mistress slapped the tea table and said sternly, "That's enough! What was everyone panicking for! Isn't that still uncertain? " Then, he instructed the Mama Xin: "When the doctor enters the manor later, let him come over to check if there are chicken pox on Mama Feng first, then let him think."

The Mama Xin nodded her head in agreement before she ordered the maidservants beside him to wait for the doctor at the Hou Mansion's entrance.

He turned around and said, "Thank you for the reminder, coroner."

The coroner originally did not want to care about the affairs of this wealthy family, so he knew that he was wrong. However, the chicken pox infection was extremely quick and fierce, and there were many people in the Marquis Anyang's Mansion.

Seeing that the madame seemed displeased, he knew it would be inconvenient for him to stay any longer. He then saluted and left.

Seeing that all the servants had left, Madame Ye dismissed the unnecessary maids, leaving her personal servant and Mama by her side. She turned to the old lady and said: "Mother, that woman with an unknown name is also a servant of our residence. Why did you send the officials to investigate her?"

Hearing this, Madame Huang was shocked, how did she not know that there was such a person in the palace?

After all, Madame Ye was the first wife, and the Old Mistress had also thought of letting her take over the control of the inner courtyard. Thus, she made the Mama Xin bring her around to familiarize with the people in the residence. But he did not expect the Madame Ye to stand up and speak at this time.

The old mistress looked at her with a pair of cloudy eyes but did not speak.

Madame Ye knew what the Old Mistress meant, she just wanted the officials to settle the matter quickly. The woman said that she was the enemy of Mama Feng, and the two fought over some private matters, so their deaths had nothing to do with Marquis Anyang's Mansion.

But at least those two had died, adding Xie Wanqing's appearance last night, it was definitely not that simple, which was why she interrupted.

"Mother, last night, Ye Qingqing was frightened. Looking at her appearance, that woman did not want to harm the Mama Feng, she is …" They wanted Xie Wanqing's life. Madame Ye did not say this, but she knew that the Old Mistress would understand what she meant.

As expected, the madame stopped her. "Xiuqing is still sick. Let's talk about how she got better last night."

When Xie Wanqing completely recovered, it would take at least two or three days. By then, both of their corpses would have been buried, and the matter would have been settled, and the old lady would definitely not bring up this matter for no reason. She would only make people's hearts calm down, and not do anything that would not be worth it.

These words were just a perfunctory reply.

Madame Ye knew that she should not pursue this matter any further. The major affairs of the Marquis Anyang's Mansion were all under the control of the old lady. But when she thought about how miserable Xie Wanqing looked, she felt pain in her heart. Adding the poisoned food that Yue Xin had given her, it could be seen that someone was trying to kill Xie Wanqing.

The Madame Ye had been in the house of the Marquis for so many years, but not many people could use it. There were almost no connections between the servants in the house.
