He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

Looking at the undisguised regret on Shen Qing's face, Haitang was silent for a moment, and shook her head after a while, "I don't know. I heard that Doctor Zhang has been invited over, but there is no news about the situation so far."

At this moment, Mujin walked in quickly from outside, "Young Madam, Madam is calling you to the backyard."

"What's the matter?"

Mujin replied, "It's about Aunt Lin being bitten by a snake. Madam was furious and called all the masters and servants in the mansion over, saying that she would investigate the matter strictly and punish the murderer behind the scenes."

Shen Qing got up, put Tuanzi on the couch and continued to sleep, and took Haitang and Mujin away from Tinglan Courtyard.

Seeing that Mu Jin knew something about the inside story, Shen Qing asked again, "How is Aunt Lin now?"

Mu Jin's eyes flashed with fear, "Not very good, Doctor Zhang said that the poisonous snake that bit Aunt Lin was a bamboo leaf green snake, and the poison had already invaded the heart veins. He can only delay the poison, but cannot detoxify. Now the young master has sent someone to Huichun Hall to ask Doctor Liang.

By the way, in addition to Aunt Lin's Fuyun Pavilion, two snakes were also found in Madam's Qifu Hall, but no other courtyards have been found yet."

After hearing this, Shen Qing was slightly surprised. Only Fuyun Pavilion and Qifu Hall had snakes?

If this is the case, the suspicion will probably point directly to the servants who are about to be sold. After all, this matter was decided by Madam Yangling and Lin Xuefu. It is also very likely that the servants are unwilling to do some extreme things in a hurry.

But is this really the case?

Suddenly, Shen Qing thought of something and looked at Mu Jin beside him, "Have you checked, are all the snakes poisonous, or are some of them poisonous?"

Mu Jin was startled, then shook her head, "Madam has ordered people to kill those snakes and throw them away, and did not check the toxicity again."

"Go back and inform Fu Yi, let her take people to investigate this matter, remember to be careful."

Mu Jin nodded and returned the same way, while Shen Qing took Hai Tang and continued to walk towards the backyard.

Haitang was smart and figured out something was wrong in a moment, "Madam, do you suspect someone wants to take this opportunity to cause trouble?"

Shen Qing nodded. As for whether the guess was true or false, it would be confirmed after Fu Yi verified the toxicity of those snakes.

When Shen Qing came to the backyard, he saw that the backyard was crowded with people, but it was extremely quiet.

The wife of Yangling Hou had a sullen face, and a closer look showed a trace of fear in her eyes.

Yangling Hou stood beside her, his face was also not good. A snake had sneaked into the Marquis's mansion and bit a concubine. If the news spread, Yangling Hou's mansion would be laughed at.

"Chen Qi, you'd better explain to me what's going on with these snakes!"

Yangling Hou couldn't imagine what kind of accident would happen to Qin Luan, who was about to give birth, if these snakes did not appear in Qi Futang, the wife of Yangling Hou, but appeared in Fuchuntang, the panicked Qin Luan.

Chen Qi, the head of the guards of Yangling Hou's mansion, came from the Martial Arts School.

Originally, Yangling Hou valued Chen Qi, but since he knew that the Martial Arts School had become Shen Qing's property, Yangling Hou looked at Chen Qi more and more unpleasantly.

If it weren't for the one-time payment of a year's employment fee, Yangling Hou would have to change a batch of guards.

Chen Qi bowed and clasped his fists, "Lord, I assure you that the palace is strictly patrolled and there will definitely be no snakes sneaking into the palace, especially so many of them, so I think this must be man-made."

How could Yangling Hou not guess that it was man-made? He just wanted to embarrass Chen Qi. "Since you said it was man-made, then find out the matter today. Otherwise, I will definitely ask your boss behind you and send you back to the martial arts training hall!"

Yangling Hou knew very well that the martial arts training hall was extremely strict with these guards. Once Chen Qi was sent back, it would be equivalent to leaving a criminal record, and he would never be able to work as a guard in a wealthy family again.

Shen Qing was very good at choosing the right time to speak, "No need to bother, I'm here, just ask me if you want to ask anything, father."

Yangling Hou, who suddenly remembered that the boss behind the martial arts training hall was Shen Qing, was silent for a moment.

Seeing that Yangling Marquis didn't want to talk anymore, Shen Qing looked at Chen Qi, "Guard Chen, do as your father said, and get to the bottom of this matter."

Chen Qi agreed and went to investigate with a group of guards.

Shen Qing's eyes swept over the servants of the Marquis' Mansion who were about to be sold. If nothing unexpected happened, this matter was most likely done by one of them, and transporting so many snakes into the mansion in such a short time would inevitably leave traces.

As Shen Qing expected, Chen Qi quickly found out the truth of the matter.

During this period, the only two people who had left the mansion and returned with two baskets were the Li couple.

Both of them were from the kitchen and were old people who had stayed in Yangling Marquis' Mansion for most of their lives.

After being exposed by Chen Qi, the two of them stopped pretending and just threw the can down, "That's right, we did it. If you want to blame someone, blame the Mu family for being ruthless and ungrateful!

My husband and I have worked for the Mu family all our lives, working diligently and conscientiously, but now they just sell us off. Why?"

At this point, the two of them were already in tears.

Raising her hand to wipe away her tears, Li Pozi looked in the direction of the wife of Yangling Marquis and said viciously: "Why didn't the snake bite you to death too!"

After saying that, she laughed again: "It doesn't matter, it's not a loss to take a concubine Lin with you. We exchanged our two cheap lives for one of your so-called noble lives. No matter how you think about it, we have gained."

After saying that, the two of them slammed into the stone pillars one after another.

With a "bang", the splashing blood formed a blood line in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it had landed on the ground, and a bunch of weird blood flowers bloomed on the ground.

Everyone was horrified, and many women were so scared that their faces turned pale in an instant, and some even began to vomit. The wife of Yangling Marquis was one of them.

After living a life of luxury for more than ten years, she was used to seeing gold, silver and jewelry, but it was the first time she saw such a bloody scene.

Shen Qing did not miss the direction of the Li couple's gaze when they were dying. They were looking at the southeast behind her.

Shen Qing turned his head and followed the gaze of the two people just now. He saw Zi Yan hidden in the crowd, with a normal face, without any fear, as if she had already expected the current outcome.

Shen Qing understood in his heart. Even if Fu Yi's inspection results had not come out yet, Shen Qing's guess in his heart had been confirmed.

Today's so-called servant murdering his master was actually just a trick by Mu Xueliu to get rid of Lin Xuefu, and the 'murderer behind the scenes' Li couple was just a knife for Zi Yan to do it.

It must be said that Zi Yan's plan was very successful.

Today's incident, except for Shen Qing who had long known that Zi Yan was a pawn planted by Mu Xueliu in Yangling Marquis's Mansion, no one else was suspicious.

At this point, the truth has been revealed.

The wife of Yangling Marquis had the bodies of the Li couple thrown into the mass grave with disgust, and the original servants of Yangling Marquis's Mansion were also thrown to the matchmaker as if they were dirty things by the wife of Yangling Marquis.

Shen Qing glanced at Chan Yi, and Chan Yi understood and quietly left, waiting for the matchmaker who had already started counting the number of people outside the mansion.

Shen Qing glanced at Haitang beside him and whispered: "Go check the details of the Li couple, especially who else is in the family."

Haitang stepped back in response, and Mujin stepped forward and stood behind Shen Qing.

Just then, a little maid ran towards this side quickly. Shen Qing had some impression that it was the second-class maid beside Lin Xuefu, and it seemed to be called Huan'er.
