"What, dead? Committed suicide by taking poison?" Xu Muhua was surprised when he heard Liang Ming's words.

"Yes, Miss, this news came from the Feng family's young master. He said that this morning when the jailer went in to deliver food, he found that the man named Huang and his wife were both dead. There was black blood at the corner of his mouth. It looked like he had committed suicide by taking poison. ”

"But they have been locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Where did they get the poison?" And when she went to the prison two days ago, she didn't think the couple were suicidal.

At that time, their will to survive was still very strong.

Liang Ming didn't know this anymore. He shook his head, remembered something and said, "But Master Feng also said another thing. Not long after we left that day, Princess Kang also went to the prison."

As soon as he heard the words "Princess Kang" and thought about it again, Xu Muhua felt that he had probably guessed the reason why the couple committed suicide.

She smiled and said, "It's hard to say whether he committed suicide or was poisoned."

Liang Ming said in surprise: "Miss, do you mean that they did not commit suicide by taking poison themselves, but were poisoned to death? Is it Princess Kang?"

Then he was confused again, "But why? Aren't Princess Kang and Mrs. Cui biological sisters? I heard that the relationship between the two sisters has always been very good. And they were going to be interrogated soon, and Princess Kang didn't need to Are you going to poison them now?”

Isn't it unnecessary?

Xu Muhua said inscrutably: "Perhaps they knew some secret. Some people were afraid that they would tell the secret and expose themselves, so they killed them and silenced them."

It was probably Princess Kang who went to jail, and then the two of them threatened Princess Kang with the story of Princess Kang's affair with someone.

Either threaten her to find a way to rescue them, or spare their lives. Either he was threatening Princess Kang to do other things, most likely because he wanted to preserve a bloodline in the Huang family.

Xu Muhua thinks the latter is more likely.

As for Princess Kang, she was still worried that the couple would regret it before they died and bite her out, so she just kept on doing it and poisoned them to death.

If this is really the case, Princess Kang is really a cruel and ruthless woman!

If those two couples threatened her to save the last bloodline of the Huang family, then it would be impossible for them to bite Princess Kang before she died. After all, Princess Kang is their only hope now. If something happened to Princess Kang, their last thoughts would be gone.

It was impossible for Princess Kang not to understand this truth, but she still did it.

Tsk tsk tsk! He is worthy of being the person who killed his own son.

Liang Ming was even more puzzled, "But wouldn't this arouse others' suspicion and attention? As the eldest lady said, they have been locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Where did they get the poison?"

Xu Muhua's eyes turned, "You should know soon."

There were more question marks in Liang Ming's head.

The eldest lady seemed to have said something, but she seemed to have said nothing!

Xu Muhua said he knew it very quickly, and indeed very quickly.

But the news came in the afternoon.

It was said that Princess Kang came to the palace to plead guilty.

Princess Kang admitted that she brought the poison to the Penal Department Prison and gave it to her sister and brother-in-law. Because I really couldn't bear to see them beheaded in public. She is willing to take all responsibilities and ask the emperor to punish her.

The emperor was naturally furious, but what could he do? Put Princess Kang in prison, or deprive her of her title of princess? If this is the case, Princess Qingning will be the only one left in Prince Kang's Mansion!

Not to mention that Princess Qingning also entered the palace after hearing the news, knelt in front of the main hall, shouted that she could take the punishment on her mother's behalf, and asked the emperor to punish her and show mercy.

Finally, the queen also came to persuade him, and the emperor went down the ladder, and gave up on the matter after a mild punishment.

So what if some ministers have opinions? Princess Kang is just a woman, and the Prince Kang's palace has no other heirs except Princess Qingning. Even if you don't do it, you have done it. Prince Kang died to save His Majesty back then. How can he make Princess Kang pay the price now for a few people who were about to die?

Princess Kang knew this, so she took the initiative to go to the palace to plead guilty.

Instead of waiting to be investigated, she might as well admit it on her own initiative and talk about it out of family ties, so that no one would doubt her intention of sending the poison in.

Xu Muhua laughed after hearing this, "Princess Kang is really smart."

Just such an act of asking for forgiveness completely removed myself.

Xu's mother also sighed: "No. I didn't expect that Princess Kang usually looks weak and harmless, but in fact..."

She shook her head.

Although she said she didn't want her sister's family to die so tragically, they were her closest relatives after all. How did she manage to send the poison in? Doesn't this mean she killed her sister's family?

Xu's mother only knew one thing about this matter, but she didn't know the other. She really thought that Princess Kang couldn't bear to see her sister's family be beheaded, so she sent the poison in knowing that she couldn't do it.

Xu Muhua did not tell her the truth and said: "She and Princess Qingning are the only ones left in Prince Kang's mansion. After so many years, Princess Kang has been like a fish in water in the capital. There is nothing she can do without any tricks or scheming."

If it were anyone else, they would just keep a low profile, and the mother and daughter would live a good life behind closed doors. But Princess Kang is extremely high-profile, let alone Princess Qingning, who is even more arrogant than the princess.

"No one in the royal family is simple." Xu's mother said, she couldn't help but think of her daughter's marriage, and her sadness came to her heart again.

It's not that Xu Muhua didn't know this, but he had tried to persuade him all the time, but it was obviously useless. Only the facts will speak from now on.

"By the way, Mom, when I get married, can dad and eldest brother come back?"

Xu's mother became happy when she mentioned this, "Your father said that if nothing unexpected happens, he and your eldest brother will come back. He has informed the emperor and the emperor has given his approval. Although there is not much time, at least I can come back to participate."

That is to say, the border is calm now and nothing happens. Otherwise, we would not be able to leave.

Xu Muhua also showed a happy smile, "That's good, I'm still worried that dad and eldest brother won't come back!"

"Mu Hua, you can't run around casually anymore. You must stay at home and prepare for the marriage."

"Mom, what's the rush? There's still plenty of time!"

Xu's mother gave her an angry look, "Time flies by in the blink of an eye. How can there be a lot more? You should collect your thoughts! And your mahjong parlor, please stay out of it in the future!"

When she enters the East Palace and lets people know that she also has a share, she doesn’t know what words she will come up with.

People in the capital were extremely jealous, it was so profitable, and they all wanted a piece of the pie.

But on the surface, everyone thought it was the young masters of Feng Mansion who did it. With the chief assistant suppressing it, no one dared to do anything.

But it would be hard to tell if people knew that the eldest lady of Chengguo Duke's mansion also had a share.
