That person was her youngest son.
When she and Mr. Hou were arguing, her son followed quietly. He looked at his father and mother and originally wanted to give them a surprise, but he didn't expect to encounter such a terrifying scene through the window.
He saw with his own eyes what his mother put in the tea cup, and then she called his father and asked him to drink the cup of tea.
After drinking the tea, the father bled to death from his seven orifices. Then the mother drank a cup of tea herself, but she seemed to know that she would also be poisoned, and deliberately dropped the tea cup to alert the servants outside to come in and find them.
He is already ten years old this year, and he is not at an age where people cannot understand things. Naturally, he knows that what Bai did just now was intentional.
After hearing the news of his father's death, he tightly covered his mouth, fearing that he would make any sound and alert his mother.
Today's Bai is very scary in his opinion. Not only did she kill his father with her own hands, but she also poisoned herself to clear her own suspicions.
What on earth does she want to do? Would killing her father do her any good?
The death of the Marquis immediately caused waves in Liangcheng. Zhong Cheng was also shocked when he heard the news.
Although he disliked seeing his cheap father, he still felt a little empty when he suddenly heard that he was dead or poisoned.
From now on, he will really become an orphan, without a mother, without a father, alone.
"It's okay, you still have us."
Qi Nan knew that he must feel a little uncomfortable. Enemies are one thing, but death is another.
"Do you want to go back to the Marquis Mansion to express your condolences? Just find out the cause of his death."
She didn't care, even if she had a grudge with the Hou Mansion before, but now that the person is dead, those grudges can disappear.
And according to her intuition, things in the Hou Mansion might not be that simple this time.
He, a marquis, was poisoned to death in his own mansion. This sounded like something was wrong.
And I heard that Mr. Bai has been poisoned by the same poison and is still in a coma. Is it a coincidence? Why is one already dead but the other is still alive?
Regarding Bai's matter, she can completely deduce conspiracy theories.
Because this person has secretly tricked her several times, just like the last time she disguised herself as a man, it was revealed that it was the work of the Hou family, that is, the Bai family.
Zhong Cheng lowered his eyes and thought for a while. The emotion was only temporary. The affairs of the Hou Mansion had nothing to do with him. They had broken up before the death of the Marquis. Now that he was dead, he naturally did not need to pay homage to him.
"No need, the debt will be wiped out after death. I won't have any more involvement in the affairs of the Hou Mansion. I tried my best to suppress his upper bunk before. Maybe his death has something to do with this matter."
"Who knows! It's cold at high places!"
Neither of them continued to talk about this topic, and everything in the Hou Mansion was completely irrelevant.
Bai's calculation was very good. After she was discovered by the servants, she was treated by the doctor in time.
After a day and a night of struggle, her life was saved because she had given herself a small amount of poison, and there would be no other side effects after she was rescued except for being a little weak.
Lord Zhong's death also alarmed the people in the court. The Royal Chef and the Prime Minister both came to see the cause.
"Ms. Bai, were you by Mr. Hou's side when he was poisoned?"
"My lord, I was in the same room with the Marquis that day. I originally wanted to have a good rest after drinking tea, but I didn't expect that there was something wrong with your tea.
It was all my fault that something like this happened to the Marquis. If I had stopped the Marquis and refused to let him drink the tea, then such a thing would not have happened to the Marquis.
I really want me to take over for Mr. Hou. How am I going to live alone now? "
Mr. Bai looked weak and weak, and cried non-stop when talking about the Marquis.
The Royal Chef had no idea about this kind of case, but he also felt that Bai was very suspicious, and always felt something strange that could not be explained.
"Don't cry yet. I'll have a headache from crying. What did you and the Marquis talk about that day? Why did the servants hear the sounds of quarreling and throwing things inside?"
The Prime Minister's questions were obviously much sharper.
One pair of eyes was staring at Mr. Bai, which made Mr. Bai feel even more stressed.
The more times like this, the less she dares to relax, for fear of exposing any flaws.
Anyway, only she knew about the poison, and everyone knew that she was also a victim. Even if there were any doubts about it, they couldn't put the blame on her.
"The Marquis came to me that day because of Mr. Feng Jiu's matter."
She knew that Mr. Feng Jiu had a good relationship with Mr. Yuchu, so dragging her in would at least distract Mr. Yuchu so that she could continue to fish in troubled waters.
As expected, Master Yuchu was attracted by Qi Nan's affairs.
"What does it have to do with her?"
"Your Excellency, you don't know. Young Master Feng Jiu is actually a sanctimonious person. He is obviously a girl, but he still pretends to be a man to show off. He is also having an affair with Zhong Cheng, the original young master of our Marquis Mansion.
Zhong Cheng was ignorant, young and frivolous, and cut off relations with the Hou Mansion.
But our Marquis still has a loving father's heart. After learning about Mr. Feng Jiu, he was afraid that Zhong Cheng would be implicated in some way, so he wanted to take him back. "
If the Marquis were alive, he would definitely marvel at her eloquence.
Obviously the truth is not like this, but you can make it come alive.
"Then!" Mr. Royal Chef didn't believe her nonsense. Even if this matter broke the sky, it would not concern Zhong Cheng and Qi Nan.
They had long since severed ties with the Marquis, so how could they be stupid enough to murder the Marquis by poisoning them.
"Later on, I didn't feel very comfortable. I felt that the Marquis was partial, so I got into a little temper with the Marquis.
Mr. Hou is also a caring person and coaxed me very patiently. He also said that for Zhong Chengye’s child, he would fulfill his responsibility as a father and prevent him from being involved in these things.
I thought what he said made sense, so I calmed down and sipped tea with the Marquis. He drank the first cup first, and I drank the other cup right after him. Unexpectedly, just because of something like this, he left me first..."
Bai restored the scene at that time and acted out where she and Mr. Hou were sitting, and then how Mr. Hou fell and how she herself fell.
Until the last tea cup on the table was swept to the floor by their fallen figures.
It sounds reasonable and there seems to be nothing wrong with it. But something is very wrong. Who could put poison into the Hou Mansion so easily?
