"My lord, please forgive me. It's my fault that I've said too much. I'm also concerned about my wife and the Marquis, so I lost my temper in a hurry. I'm here to keep you company."

The Royal Chef didn't even bother to embarrass an old nanny in the Hou Mansion.

"I didn't say I would convict you. If you want to find out the truth as soon as possible, please cooperate with our investigation."

"Yes, my lord."

Everyone's eyes focused on Chun Xing again.

Everyone before them told what they did that day in a clear and concise manner, but she was the only one with evasive eyes, hesitant words, and a lack of energy. She looked really suspicious.

"Isn't that right, Chun Xing? You continue." It was the Prime Minister who spoke this time. As soon as he opened his mouth, the long-standing officialdom pressure was released.

The people standing in the lobby were all tense, fearing that they might accidentally say something and end up losing their lives.

"I... I, I don't remember."

Chun Xing was so frightened that she couldn't stand still. After holding it in place for a long time, she choked out such a sentence.

"It's ridiculous, you don't remember what happened just one day ago!" The prime minister felt that there was something weird about this girl at first glance.

"Would you like to give you a few boards so that you can recall the scene of the day?"

He was also feeling sulky in his heart. The court had not been peaceful recently, and His Majesty was furious at the death of the Marquis.

Although these days, Mr. Zhong has caused a lot of trouble in his house and has been punished by His Majesty.

But His Majesty is also a nostalgic person. As long as Lord Zhong has not committed any serious crime against the law, after his death, he will still give him the dignity that a Lord should have.

We can't even find out the cause of death and the real culprit of a dignified marquis. If this news spreads, the court will laugh out loud.

These matters should have been investigated by people from the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment.

Now His Majesty has left the matter to him and the Royal Chef to investigate together, but he doesn't know what it means.

For the current plan, we can only find out the truth of the matter first and give an explanation to His Majesty and the Marquis Mansion.

"No, I don't want it!" Chun Xing was so scared that she collapsed on the ground, but she couldn't say a complete sentence.

The Prime Minister is very impatient. He has many ways to deal with such disobedient servants.

When he was about to ask someone to drag Chun Xing down for torture, Bai quickly glanced at Chun Xing and signaled her not to waste time, it was time to take action.

After Chunxing got the signal, she became even more sad.

Thinking of her family and the handle in Bai's hands, she suddenly broke away from the restraints around her and slammed her head against the pillar next to her.

"Hurry and hold her! She's going to hit the pillar and kill herself."

"Master Marquis, he deserves it, hahahaha. It would be better if I died. If I die, I will be clean."

After saying these ambiguous words, her eyes widened and she fell into a pool of blood.

Even if the guards behind her held her back, it would be of no avail.

There was poison in her mouth. The moment she was about to hit the pillar, she bit the poison in her mouth and died as quickly as possible.

"Go and see if she's still alive."

"Sir, she has expired."

After examination, the doctor found that the poison Chun Xing took was the same poison that killed Mr. Hou.

Thinking about it this way, things seem to become clearer.

Chun Xing was the person who poisoned them.

Now faced with the risk of being exposed for her evil deeds and being tortured, she committed suicide out of fear of the crime.

It seems that this incident is very reasonable, but she is a little maid, how can she get the money to buy poison.

Is there any deep hatred between her and the Marquis that warrants her using such an extreme method to take revenge, even if it costs her own young life.

"Do you know what happened between Chun Xing and Mr. Hou?"

The Prime Minister focused his attention on Mr. Bai.

The words Chun Xing shouted when she died just now were very suspicious.

What does it mean to be clean after death?

Is there any other conflict between her and Mr. Hou?

The Prime Minister felt that he was very close to the truth.

"Sir, Lord Marquis...he once thought about taking Chun Xing into his arms.

Chun Xing is a new maid recruited into the mansion this year. She is young, good-looking, and seems to have a docile temperament, so I sent her to the study room of the Hou Mansion to serve her.

The Marquis somehow fell in love with this maid and mentioned to me several times that he would take her as his aunt. "

Bai's face was bitter when he talked about this, and he looked like a victim no matter how he looked at it.

"I am a step-wife, and there are some things that I can't trouble Mr. Hou. Besides, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Mr. Hou just wants to add an aunt, so it is not an excessive thing."

"It's just that this girl Chun Xing has an idea. She doesn't want to be the person next to the master, but she likes the young master in the mansion.

The master must have been unable to bear such humiliation, so he forcibly took the girl's room. The girl also begged him for a favor in despair and came to my room to serve me. "

Mr. Bai looked regretful when he talked about this.

"I didn't expect that the Marquis lost his life because of something like this. If I had known, I should have sent this scourge out of the house, and nothing would have happened to the Marquis."

No one expected that things would develop like this.

The cause of Mr. Hou's death was actually because he forced a maid. It would be a bit shameful to admit it to anyone.

"Sir, this is all I know. I don't know what to do next. Without the Marquis, how can our entire Marquis Mansion survive?"

Bai Shi started her crying routine again, and the Royal Chef felt that her ears were hearing hallucinations due to her crying.

"Shut up! Why are you crying all the time? Let's settle the affairs of the Marquis first."

Once the investigation reaches this point, the case can basically be closed.

After the Prime Minister had people record these things in the Hou Mansion, he took Chun Xing's body back to the Ministry of Punishment.

Now that the witnesses and material evidence are complete, he can hand over the case and close the case.

After everyone left, Mr. Bai called all the stewards in the house to his room to lecture him.

"I believe everyone knows the current situation of the Hou Mansion. With the Marquis gone, all matters in the Mansion must be handled by me first.

I hope everyone can work together and follow my orders. After all, I am the one in power in the Hou Mansion now. I don’t want to see anyone who is self-righteous and cheating. "
