Chapter 394

“Who dares to touch my mother!” Qin Sheng after being flustered also said in a sharp voice, “My second sister is the Second Prince’s person, who of you dares to touch her! Someone, go to the Second Prince’s residence and call my second sister back!”

Hu Mingke hesitated for a moment.

At the court that day, he also saw how much the second prince adored Qin Xin, his concubine. However, Qin Zening was not someone who was easy to mess with either. He had just made great achievements and was now very well-known, his aunt was the empress of this dynasty which means that the emperor was his uncle.

For Hu Mingke, he couldn’t afford to offend anyone. In this case, the best way was to have a trial at the public court for this affair so as to not be blamed by either party.

Clearing his throat, Hu Mingle bowed to Madam Su and said. “Madam, this is a matter of life and death, so please go with me to the court.”

Madam Su instinctively took two steps back, feeling cold on her feet and hands.

If she was taken to court with all the witnesses and material evidence, and since the marquis was still in prison, she would be alone and helpless. She’s afraid that she couldn’t escape the charge of murdering her mother-in-law, and loses her reputation, how would she live in the future?!

With these thoughts, Madam Su’s body trembled visible to the naked eye.

When suddenly, Zhao momo who was beside Madam Su knelt down and loudly said. “It’s this slave! It’s this slave who poisoned the old madam!”

Madam Su’s eyes narrowed as she looked at Zhao momo in surprise.

Zhao momo went and say, “This slave has watched the madam running around outside for the marquis these days and shedding tears every day so this servant thought that if old madam dies then the marquis can observe his filial piety. This servant just wants to share her worries and made such a big mistake!”

This time, both Madam Su and Zhao momo were taken away by the yamen. Qin Zezhou wanted to stop them but was also blocked by a yamen.

Qin Zening pondered for a moment and said to Qin Jiu, “Xiao Jiu, you take care of grandma here, while I will go to court.” In the case of Madam Su’s attempted murder of Old Madam Qin, Qin Zening was the plaintiff so naturally he had to go.

Qin Zeyu hurriedly said, “Big brother, don’t worry, me and third sister are here!”

After Hu Mingke escorted Madam Su and Zhao momo away, the hall became empty all of a sudden, since Qin Zezhou and Qin Sheng hurried to follow them.

The remaining maidservants looked at each others faces and were still in shock. Everyone has the same thoughts: this mansion was really about to change!

At that moment, a maidservant ran out from the direction of the inner room and shouted, “Old Madam is awake!”

Qin Jiu, Qin Zeyu, and Imperial Physician Xu hurriedly followed the maidservant into the inner room again. Inside, the old madam was still lying on the babu bed, and the air was filled with a strong smell of medicine with a faint hint of acidity.

The window to the east was open, letting a few cool evening wind drift in.

“Grandma, how do you feel?” Qin Zeyu asked with concern.

Old Madam’s eyes were covered with a blueish shadow and the sockets were slightly concave while her breath was still a little weak. She looked at Qin Zeyu and Qin Jiu in a daze, and after a while she hoarsely said. “Grandma’s fine...”

Her voice was weak and feeble, with a hint of sadness in her tone.
